Wait hold on, in his anniversary video Barbatos mentions the mc being the brother's attendant?
But in the other videos, it's implied that they don't remember the mc leaving (which is actually something im very disappointed about and really hope isnt the case in the actual story)
In these two specifically, it seems like they aren't aware of the mc's presence in the past/alternate timeline/whatever it is. The only other person who seems like they know is Lucifer
Which also lines up with the end of lesson 40, where he's the only one who says welcome back? So like?? Do only him and Barbatos know? Did they not tell anyone?? Diavolo would probably know as well but I haven't seen anything to show that yet. Anyways I don't really like where this is going, I would really prefer they not make everyone forget the mc disappeared
#of course they could always just be not quite putting the pieces together in these scenes#buuuut at this point im not so sure..#i was hoping theyd take a more “WE MISSED YOU” approach#because if im being honest those are some of my favorite moments#like yay everythings better now lets hug it out#i feel weird about them potentially not knowing about what happened#how would they play that off? solomon already said they were freaking out?#“oh whoops we time traveled just far back enough that no one noticed you were gone”#no#do not do that#that defeats the purpose of this whole shenanigan#they also cant just say it was the regular past#because story inconsistencies#solomon has even commented on how its different#hes like “simeon and luke shouldnt be here”#istg if they try to move past that without explaining i will explode#its a very plausible scenario at this point#theyve done it before#because oh does diavolo just not have the power to spot lies anymore?? ok#anyway im scared for the future of the story#this could go wrong in so many ways#obey me!#obey me! swd#obey me lucifer#obey me satan#obey me luke#obey me barbatos#posts#maybe barbatos just merges the timelines again and thats why everyone feels weird#idk im too tired to think more about this

Unhinged™
(inspired by this post by @leniisreallycool. the pure madness of obey me is the reason why I typically write chaotically-comedic slice-of-life scenarios; because i can honestly write these guys doing the stupidest things and argue that it might as well be canon, these dorks. anime canon, tho. the anime is just another beast of its own to the game ahahaha.)
(so while this may not be anime canon-level obey me content, i hope it comes close. if they’ve actually done any of these and i just haven’t experienced it in-game yet, let me know! it only proves my point.)
There was a time when Solomon brought an extremely-long baguette everywhere with him, insisting it was his magic wand. Even as the days turned to weeks, and the bread crust turned to mould, Solomon would still carry it around everywhere; unbothered by the rancid smell and waving it like a idol group light-stick whenever he spoke an incantation. Then, one day, he showed up at RAD with sandwiches to share. Sandwiches… with suspiciously green and white bread. Turns out, this whole thing was Solomon’s interpretation of dry-aging.
Belphegor and Asmodeus have an ongoing vlog series on Deviltube called ‘Beauty Sleep’. They go somewhere trendy, find some inappropriate place for Belphie to sleep, and Asmo takes some #aesthetic shots whilst timing how long Belphie can nap before being kicked out. It’s incredibly popular and sometimes features cameos from the exchange students and the other Avatars of Sin. Once, a subscriber milestone came with a special surprise: a live-streamed episode of Beauty Sleep in the Demon Lord’s Castle! They never got caught, because Diavolo was busy watching the livestream in his room - too invested to realise it was his own house.
The dining table in the main room of the House of Lamentation has its own fandom on the DevilNet. There are multiple fansites speculating the exact materials used to make it; the exact number of fasteners it uses; and, most especially, its exact length. There are posts, blogs and entire DevilTube deep-dive videos centred around the mystery of how long the table is. This is because, in every piece of media involving the table, it appears a different length despite the decorations and location remaining the same. What the Devildom doesn't know is that the table was made retractable shortly after MC arrived in the Devildom. It was a custom job, done solely so that the table could be used as a runway for a makeshift fashion show (Asmo and Mammon's idea) the brothers held with human world clothes one time MC was feeling homesick.
Once, for a whole month, Mammon dedicated himself to creating a new currency. For the first week, he was an absolute menace, stealing metal objects (like small screws or unused kitchen utensils) around the house to melt down and form into coins of his own design. Beel cried for five days over the lack of cutlery and Asmo kept shrieking whenever he realised he’d had another piece of jewellery had been stolen from him. The rest of the month was spent attempting to rope people into investing; then failing; then celebrating because he had so much of his money to himself; and finally crying because none of it would be accepted at stores.
When he had first gotten into reading books, Satan started a website called ‘Ampbook’ where demons could upload personal writing projects, as well as comment on and share them, too. It’s now incredibly popular, especially amongst younger demons, and is well-known for romance. Well. Much to Satan’s chagrin, it was actually better-known for romance… and fanfiction. He’s constantly torn between allowing his beloved site users their freedom of expression, or immediately taking down any fanfics shipping MC with any of his other brothers. He’s also faked MC x Satan as the most trending tag, permanently.
The height of Beel’s appreciation for Leviathan was shortly after MC’s arrival into the Devildom. They had introduced Levi to an anime centred around four students in a high school swimming team; including a protagonist who Beel thought had a dubiously-intimate love of water. Regardless, Levi tried out for the RAD swimming team - got in and won a bunch of gold medals - and then proceeded to quit the team after a new, different anime he had been waiting for came out. All in the span of a week. To Levi's disdain, Beel brings this up at least once a month: by parading a handmade display of Levi's medals and a framed photo of his older brother in a swimsuit around RAD, showing it off to everyone who asked. And everybody asked. Maybe not so much for the medals.

Hi!! May I request a continuation of short!MC with the side characters? I love your writing! 💖💖💖
Yes, of course! I took a little break from posting on the internet so that's why it took so long for me to respond. Also thank you! I try to write as well as I can. (●'◡'●) Some side characters are gonna be missing from this cuz I'm not quite comfortable writing for them yet.
I haven't met Raphael, Mephistopheles or Thirteen(I am planning on making their own parts when I do tho!) in anything other than events. So I'd like to apologize in advance because if I remember correctly one of your favs is Mephisto o(TヘTo) (I hope this doesn't sound weird since we've only met briefly on the discord server /gen)
Anyway onto the actual prompt ( ̄y▽ ̄)╭
Part 1| Part 2(here)
Prompt: How Obey Me Characters react to a short MC/Y/N
Characters: Diavolo, Barbatos, Simeon, Solomon, Luke(/p)
Headcanon List
CW/TWs: Teasing for your height,
Diavolo
I don't think he'd have much of a reaction seeing as most people/demons are a lot shorter than him
This man is easily 7ft I don't think he gives a fuck, everyone is puny to him
He'd definitely say something by accident, something he doesn't think would bother you
He's a himbo and oblivious to this shit
He'd probably say some shit like
"You're quite small for a human" or something like that
Crouches/Bends down to talk to you sometimes
Only when he really feels like it
I swear he's not trying to be rude
He'll pick you up only if you ask
For any reason too, he adores his small human
He respects you and doesn't want to help you like that unless you want him to
If he sees you struggling to grab something he'll get it for you
Gently reminds you that he can help you and you don't need to struggle with these things while he's there
Worries about other demons taking advantage of your small stature and hurting you
So he checks in on your wellbeing more often than he would if you were taller
If he knows you're around, he's making sure he doesn't accidentally run over you
I'm so sorry! to be fair he's probably gotta do that with bitches 5'7 and below
He'd probably enjoy holding/hugging you too
Like you ask for cuddles this man is cradling you in his arm
Maybe even rocking your ass to sleep
Barbatos
Man has nothing to say about your height
Like he couldn't care less about it and has the foresight to not say shit if you're a little insecure
Not that he would even if you weren't
If he sees you struggling to get something off a higher place, he's helping even if you don't ask/don't want him to
That's just kinda how he is
If you request he stop that he will but you need to communicate your wants and needs
If he sees you getting bullied(/lh) for your height and you look distressed he'll give to culprit a bit of a scolding
Depending on how bad it/Who it was it'll be harsher
Of course he'd like for you to defend yourself at least a little bit
When you do he can't help but smile a little to himself.
He likes to serve the ones he cares for so if any difficulties arise due to your height he'd be happy to attend to them
That is to say its only if you ask/he has the time to
He is still the butler of the future ruler of the Devildom after all
Barbatos also wouldn't treat you any different than how he would treat some one of average height or taller
Solomon
He makes the occasional comment about your height to your face
Giggles about it in private on occasion LIKE A BITCH
It's only occasionally that he does this tho
Overall its not that big of a deal to him
He's been alive long enough that he doesn't really care
Will absolutely help you with things your height hinders you from doing
If you're being bullied about your height he'll give you a chance to defend yourself before jumping to your defense
Will pick you up and carry you sometimes just for shits and giggles
Other times he picks you up and carries you away to hang out or aid him in another one of his magical endeavors.
and now we have Nightbringer /j
He's not doing anything to talk to you on your level Slay, king Solomon. Slay
He thinks its mildly entertaining to watch you struggle to grab something off the top shelf/anything out of your reach
He's a bit more careful with you than he normally would be with others
Has offhandedly suggested making something to make you taller if you'd like it
you gonna whoop his ass or should I?
He enjoys watching you stand up for yourself despite your height
It can be intimidating when people who are much taller than you pick on you and he understands that
or maybe you're not intimidated in the slightest and just wanted to unleash a can of whoop ass on some assholes who've been picking on you Period. Slay honestly.
He understands that too, and enjoys watching it go down
He finds it satisfying
Simeon
Won't comment on it most of the time but he does think its really cute
Only makes a comment when he's asking if you need help getting something higher up than you can reach
and its normally something like
"Oh! MC did you need help? It looks like you can't quite reach that."
A bit more careful with you than he would be normally
Though he's gentle by nature most of the time Sadistic Simeon has me in a chokehold fr fr
He won't get down to your level or do anything to demean you
not intentionally anyway
He doesn't say anything about your height for the most part but he will slip up every once in a while
It's nothing bad he just lets it slip he thinks your height is cute
He encourages you to stand up for yourself but has no problem sticking up for you or stealing you away if you're being bullied too much.
Happy to help with anything your height makes difficult when you ask
Other than that he doesn't treat you any differently due to your height
Luke
He's just happy he's not the only short one here.
If you're shorter than him he doesn't comment on it but he is excited to not be the shortest there.
He would make a few comments about it but you just gotta tell him to stop and he will
He doesn't want to make you upset with him
Sweet baby just wants to bond with you over the others making fun of your heights
Doesn't hesitate to yell at anyone making fun of your height and calling you names because of it
Makes sure you're okay afterwards
He's getting made fun of for this though
The brothers would take to calling him your guard dog
He barely gives you a chance to defend yourself but will back up if you defend yourself before he can
He borderline clings to you like a sloth
Comes to you every time he needs to vent about everyone bullying him for his own height
You're his favorite human now
If he's taller than you, he will do his best to help with things you can't reach.
He's happy to help out his friend

Will you do Beelzebub? One of my all-time favorite demons!
Beelzebub - Day 50!!!
Race: Tyrant
Alignment: Dark-Chaos
June 7th, 2024
This was a long time coming. I mean, come on, he's literally in my header! Beelzebub and SMT go hand in creepy pincer, the lord of flies appearing in nearly every Megaten game to date and having major roles in several, including an infamous boss fight in Nocturne. While not the king of demons, Beelzebub is among the most powerful, often contending with Satan himself! Today's Demon of the Day needs no introduction- the Demon of Gluttony, Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub. One of the most prevalent and powerful demons in demonology, this diseased despot represents not only a bastardization of Baal but also insects, envy, and excess, all of which make the lord of the flies a powerful figure in demonic circles. Without any further ado, let's dig in!
Satan almighty, where do I even begin with Beelzebub? As one of the many Kings of Hell, the amount of lore in Beelzebub's story paints a fascinating picture of not only the demon itself, but also Christianity, demonology, and how religious concepts change and are passed from area to area over time, corrupting into different forms to fit differing agendas. I guess, to start, we should look into the earliest ever mention of the Lord of the Flies, an offhand comment in the Books of Kings, a pair of books in the old testament that serve as a bedrock to the history of ancient Israel. In one of these books, King Ahaziah of the Northern Kingdom of Israel had been hurt. Bad.
After a severe injury from a fall, he sent several of his messengers to inquire about the god of a nearby kingdom, Ekron, a city ruled by the Philistines. This god, of course, was none other than Beelzebub, given the epithet 'Baʿal-zəvuv.' Terrified for his life, the king sent his people to ask that god as to if he would recover... which made a wandering prophet, Elijah, rather furious. After an angel of God visited the prophet, basically calling the king an idiot for not recognizing the fact that Israel is the holy ground for the big man upstairs, Elijah went to visit the king and delivered the message that he would die before the servants sent to inquire about Baʿal-zəvuv could return. Unsurprisingly, the king ended up dying after putting his faith in a false prophet.
This tale has several aspects to it which are curious- if you'll remember our Baal DDS, Beelzebub effectively takes the role of Baal in one of the stories outlined, wherein the faith of a man is tested against a god of another religion. Combine that with the fact that Beelzebub's name in this tale, Baʿal-zəvuv, quite literally has the term Ba'al in it, and it becomes somewhat suspect- it can easily be intuited that Beelzebub was, in effect, a different name or interpretation of Baal. This theory is confirmed later on in the text, however- the name for Beelzebub given also has a translation, roughly meaning "Lord of [the] Flies," and an earlier text by a cult which worshipped Ba'al also states that he was capable of summoning flies to cause illness. Curious! Another theory as to Baʿal-zəvuv's name actually originates as a pun- some people speculate that the deity's original name to this hitherto unmentioned cult of Philistines could have been "Baʿal zəvul," a name translating roughly to 'Lord of the Heavenly Dwelling.' Possibly after a bit of transliteration and puns, that name could've been shifted derogatorily into being Baʿal-zəvuv. It would explain why the term is so specific, as it could've originated as a pun and a twist on Ba'al's powers according to Canaanite myth, but this is debated somewhat.
Nomenclature aside, however, there's still more to this demon- while Beelzebub is believed to be based on Ba'al, it quickly spun off into its own figure in the Testament of Solomon, a non-canonical book related to the story of King Solomon, the first demon summoner. Yep, it's Solomon again! Almost every capital-D-Demon has something to do with his majesty, given that most of them originate from texts regarding him. And yet he still hasn't appeared in the SMT series. Cowards. Appearing again, though with a different name this time, far closer to the now common reading, Beelzebul appears as a demonic prince representing the planet Venus. However, another knot is thrown into this tale as, this time, Beelzebub is synonymous with Lucifer! The things Beelzebul is described as doing are things that, in almost any other Christian text, would have been done by Lucifer- whether it be through depositing despots into positions of power or inciting demonic worship, the text describes Beelzebul as being one and the same with the Prince of Hell.
While this is the origin of the common conflation of Lucifer and Beelzebub, we need to jump forward a bit more to get the canonical texts related to this buzzing bastard- Beelzebub is one of the very few Demons actually mentioned in the Bible by name. Appearing first in Mark 3:22, a group of scribes accuse our boy Jeezy-C of using the power of Beelzebul to drive out demons. In future expansions of the text, he is also brought up in several Matthew verses. To quote Matthew 12:25-28,
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you."
Yes, I am reciting scripture, but look, it comes with the territory. While in the original translation, Beelzebub is referred to as Beelzebul, later translations take a few liberties; in the Syriac translation, per instance, Beelzeboul is the new name. This fly has way too many names. Jesus Christ. While this translation mistake was repeated in the King James version of the Bible, most current day translations simply refer to Beelzebub as, well, Beelzebub. Thank god. Or Satan. Or King James. In everyone's favorite first apocalypse story, the New Testament, Beelzebub finally makes a formal debut! I told you there was a lot to dig into with this guy.
Beelzebub finally appears, not in the form of an Ekronite god nor an offhand mention, as the Prince of Demons, appearing in the place of the Devil. Yes, again. This is getting frustrating. In older texts, from what I can tell, this was never truly the case- the melding together of the King of the Flies and the King of Hell was a later addition by the authors of the New Testament, who were probably just having a laugh at future demonologists. As mentioned earlier, Beelzebub was mentioned as simply a powerful demon by some scribes who were cussing out Jesus, so this sudden ascension to the throne is... strange. Thankfully for my purposes, this role of his is hotly debated, but it's still frustrating that I can't trace his later characterization to any one source!
Finally, though, we have a point of reference. At long, long last. A 16th century occultist named Johann Weyer. As given in the book 'The Devil in Legend and Literature' by Rudwin Maximilian, a set of stories written by Weyer describe Beelzebub as the chief lieutenant of Lucifer's forces, having led a secondary revolution against Heaven and later retreating to Hell to follow after Lucifer's orders. This would only be a prelude to the main star story, however- none other than Paradise Lost. As described in the infamous epic, Beelzebub, finally, gets a solid role outside of being a stand-in for Lucifer or a bastardization of Ba'al- yes, we finally get Beelzebub being a King of Hell in a text! Described as being only beaten out by Satan himself in terms of strength, Beelzebub was part of the Unholy Trinity, consisting of it, Lucifer, and Astaroth. (No Malphas, unfortunately. Gary had to sit this one out.)
In Paradise Lost, Beelzebub is an incredibly powerful and influential character who serves as a driving force for the invasion of the Human world. As Satan's closest ally and proxy, Beelzebub also is representative of the deadly sin of Envy in the story. As an observation by Bradley J. Irish states, there are obvious connections drawn between Beelzebub and envy throughout the poem, and though the main focus of envy is on Satan throughout, Beelzebub himself serves an important role in going into and speaking about envy. However, this leads into a big point of contention with Beelzebub as a whole- what deadly sin he even represents.
In the book 'The Lanterne of Light' by an anonymous Lollard, a classification of the princes of hell is given, attributing Beelzebub to Envy. This book, notably, was released before Paradise Lost, which likely influenced Milton's writing of the story. However, Sébastien Michaelis, yet another demonic scholar (and one maybe familiar if you read the Asmodeus episode) described him as representative of the deadly sin of Pride. Yay! Pride Month, headed by this oversized fruit fly! However, yet again, another person argued for Beelzebub being a different sin- Peter Binsfeld's 1589 'Treatise on Confessions by Evildoers and Witches' describes Beelzebub as the demon of gluttony, and lastly, at least according to Wikipedia, another Demonologist purported that he represented idolatry.
Later on in history, once Beelzebub was a bit more solidified as a demon outside of Satan's reign, he got up to a lot of mischief- during the Salem Witch Trials, he was typically and repeatedly used as the demon possessing or being used by several of the accused witches. Nowadays, however, Beelzebub reached his biggest height not even through his own name, but rather his epithet- the infamous book by William Golding, the Lord of the Flies, which invoked Beelzebub's name in the title. In the story, which is a tale going into the inherently destructive nature of humanity, the Lord of the Flies is invoked as a false religious figure a group of kids begin to worship, being a decapitated and rotting pig's head representing the gluttony of humanity. Admittedly, I haven't read Lord of the Flies yet, but the story and its general themes had a lot to do with shaping the cultural consciousness surrounding Beelzebub.
Which, well... what is that? The common consensus on Beelzebub is that of him being the King of Gluttony, second only to Satan in terms of power- combining several themes and ideas from the past into one composite figure, Beelzebub himself.
Generally, Beelzebub seems to be primarily based on a composite mixture of his appearance in Paradise Lost, the studies of several demonologists, and the ideas presented in Lord of the Flies, shaping this marvelous menace into what we see him as today. Or he can also just be Satan again... but that's boringggg.... However, in terms of culture, SMT takes notes. A lot of notes. So how is Beelzebub represented in the series?
Perfectly. Beelzebub is iconic, and it's not hard to see why- his design is menacing, conveys his role as Lord of the Flies extremely well, and is frankly as badass as someone can make a fly look. The scepter and the necklace of skulls make him look terrifying, especially given how imposing he tends to be in gameplay- Beelzebub is, historically, one of the most powerful demons in the series, making perfect sense given his role as the right hand man of Satan himself. I cannot stress enough how much I utterly adore this design and how it manages to mix the idea of a fly into something twisted, demonic, terrifying, and badass. Even his human disguise looks cool to me, even though it's a bit bland in comparison to the masterpiece that is his fruit fly design.
I can't find much reason why he has a human disguise, but it's likely just due to the fact that a demonic prince like himself would need to hide away. If anyone has an exact reason why, though, please tell me!
One also can't mention Beelzebub without bringing up his boss fight in Nocturne, one of the most challenging and fun slugfests in the game. With his signature skill instantly killing any demon who isn't immune to dark, massive healthpool, and insane bursts of damage, Beelzebub makes for a formidable foe if there ever was one- and besides, even if Metatron is more difficult, Beelzebub's boss theme goes way harder than Metatron's own, so he wins in that department as well. The battle is important narratively as well, due to it being the final test of Lucifer's to see if you're truly worthy of becoming his demonic general- it shows a lot of trust in Beelzebub that Lucifer would send out the fly to battle the Demi-Fiend.
Overall, though, Beelzebub is a demon of many names, many titles, and many fans, and it's easy to see why. Both fascinating historically and in the series itself, Beelzebub may be one of the best demons in the whole series, period. Now, with that over with... where did I put that bottle of bug spray?
Oh, there it is. Sorry, Beelzebub.

Oct 2023 issue of B'sLOG translation Special Feature: Hyper☆Summer Date
Oct 2023 issue of B'sLOG translation Special Feature: Hyper☆Summer Date Feat. Mammon, Solomon
[PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD] (reblogging/comments okay)
The brightness of the summer sun pushes us to be more open than usual. To enjoy this fun season, the special feature will be called "Summer Date"! Please look out for the happy summer date plan he chooses ♪
(Characters are given questions according to the place they what to go on a date with - either the beach, an amusement park, or a summer festival.)
MAMMON - DATE IN AN AMUSEMENT PARK
➀ Today is a date with your loved one at an amusement park! What matching items would you like to wear together? I'd think of headbands of the new Devil's Coast mascot that recently debuted, Awoofa*. Puttin' that on and uploadin' to Devilgram is all over the rage, man!
② It's lunchtime at the amusement park! Which do you prefer, the restaurants or lunch boxes? Either one of those shall do, but I'd like to buy from one of those carts over there and walk around while eatin'. Isn't that the way to have fun with them as much as we wanna?
③ Your loved one wants to go to a haunted house! Can you lead the way? BUT OF COURSE???? Why did'cha even bother askin' that???? Huh? Huh???
④ Riding the Ferris Wheel near closing time, you'll do this to the person you love at its highest point…… Hm, I guess I'mma just say what I thought of at the time. Like where's the House of Lamentation, how small the Demon Lord's Castle is, et cetera. It's pointless expecting me to say things that Lucifer or Satan would say. I'm sure they know that too. Oh, maybe I'll ask them if they had a good time with me. That's the most curious thing I wanna know.
*unofficial translation of Garurufa/ガルルファ. No relevant info in the game has been found regarding this new mascot (as of Sep 2023). Note that this should a different mascot from 'Devilcat/デビネコ', a red teddy bear-like creature with horns on its head.
SOLOMON - DATE IN A SUMMER FESTIVAL
➀ Today is a festival date with someone you like! What kind of clothes do you want them to wear? When in Rome, they tell me to do as the Romans do, so it's gonna be a yukata. Wearing something different from the usual can make someone excited, right? I want them to feel excited too, so I'll probably wear a yukata too.
② It's so crowded that there's a chance of getting separated! What would you do? It's unthinkable that I'd lose sight of my cute apprentice, though I might pretend that it would be a natural excuse to hold hands with them. But since I think they might see right through me, I might honestly say that I want to hold hands with them (laughs).
③ At a target shooting range, they asked you to get "the one" for them! Do you have what it takes for shooting? If my partner is looking forward for me to win, I'll win even if the lottery doesn't include a winning ticket. Eh, no magic is allowed? Hmm, even so I'll give it a shot!
④ Watching the fireworks near the festival's end, you'll do this to the person you love whose eyes are shining bright…… Maybe I won't be able to say anything to them because I'd be falling hard for them who is trying their best to watch the fireworks. Maybe deep inside I'd be saying "I'm glad we're able to make good memories".

Heya, first of all im sorry for that terrible joke i made in the comment section xD
I'd like to request a Solomon x Reader
I'm a sucker for him and can't find good ffs or more like not much of him TT
Scenario:
Song to listen to if you want too
( hammock - then the quiet explosion)
So I've been thinking of a scenario where MC is kind of annoyed from the brothers always near them and clinging on them, so that they have no privacy.
Solomon ( who has a crush on them) sees that the reader is exhausted and takes her to a quiet place to rest with him ( the rest is your imagination)
I loved the joke so much lmaooo
Alright this is my first one in a long while so please cut me some slack! I did my very best so I hope you like it! O7

HOW IN THE WORLD
IN A HOUSE THIS BIG
IS YOUR ROOM ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION
OH THATS RIGHT
BECAUSE EVERYONE WHO LIVES HERE BREAKS IN
AND THEY START FIGHTS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DOES THE SAME THING
You just
Cant
Take it anymore
Lucifer is always critiquing your organization and how clean the room is
Mammon is always stealing your stuff
Levi and Satan are judging your interests all. the. time.
Asmo steals your clothes for selfies
Beel gets food on the floor
and Belphie messes up your bed at least six times a day
Why do they always have to do this
They have their own rooms
Why cant you?
you are so sick of cleaning up after their mess
so tired of always having to mediate fights
and that's why you're here you suppose
You couldn't even handle being in the house to listen to their excuses anymore
So you came here
The courtyard of the Royal Academy of Diavolo
It's the only place you can even feel like you can breathe right now, and even now you're struggling to keep the tears in
You close your eyes and take a breath, your head resting on your knees
Theres a nice breeze today…
It smells like flowers almost…
You can feel the sun shining on your skin too…its so warm…you missed that feeling…
Wait a second
aren't you underground right now?
Why is there a breeze??? Even if there was a breeze, why does it smell like flowers??
And there definitely shouldn't be a sunlight feeling??
Finally taking a moment to look up, you lock eyes with the one and only shady wizard
You almost want to sigh
There goes peace…goodbye peace…you will be missed…
But the way he's looking at you is…different
He's missing his signature smirk that always seems to be plastered on his face
Instead it's been replaced with something slightly softer…kind…
"Hey" he took a few steps forward
Leaning down next to you, and wiping a teardrop from your cheek
"...hey…" you said back, still unsure
Solomon sits beside you, leaning against the large stone wall hiding you from the rest of the world
"What happened?"
And with that
You broke
You cried on and on and on
Sobbing about how overwhelmed you were, how nothing you did was good enough, how exhausted you were all the time
You really hadn't meant to
But by the end you were just a bundle of tears
You were expecting a comment on how small your problems were
or maybe even a laugh because what did you expect? They ARE demons after all…
What you weren't expecting
Was Solomon gently taking your hand
And whispering a slight follow me
Gently he led you deeper within the courtyard, getting ever so slightly lost between the hedges
"Close your eyes" he said, with a slight smirk
and in that moment you werent sure if you should trust him
On one hand, he has yet to bully you
On the other, you might commit homicide if he starts now
You sigh and close your eyes
After a few moments of absolutely nothing happening you open them
And poof the wizard is gone
Are
You
Serious
He led you into what is basically a hedgemaze and then left!?
You huff, more annoyed now than you were before
You could go commit arson
You could ask diavolo so politely
He would probably say yes ri-
AAAAAAAA
you let out a short scream as a hand shoots out from within one of the hedges
You can hear Solomon laugh slightly from inside
oh you motherfu-
The hand grabs you and pulls you in
After being yanked through the bushes, you find yourself in a small cove…
Flowers filled the ground, and the grass was so soft….and there was sunlight- how?
"Where…" you whispered, still a bit awestruck
A place like this definitely shouldn't exist in the devildom…
"This is a little piece of home" Solomon explained, while taking a seat on the soft ground, "I made it with an illusion spell of sorts…I come here when things get difficult"
You gently sat next to Solomon
Taking it all in
Who knew the shady wizard had a soft side…
Solomon pulled your head down to his lap, one hand gently running through your hair while the other pulled out a book
He softly began to read
"I don't trust stairs…they are always up to something"
…huh
"Where do ghosts become pilots?...fright school"
…no
"Why did the cookie go to the doctor? It was feeling crumby"
…you were going to kill him
…but maybe later
You laughed and gently swatted Solomon's book of "1000 dad jokes to cheer up people with depression"
How sweet of him
Solomon laughed and poked at your cheeks
you really were beautiful when you smiled
Not that he could say that of course
…not yet
He wanted to savor this moment by your side for just a bit longer
Just the two of you
Safe in your little bubble
Away from the rest of the world
Solomon gently pet your hair until you fell asleep
Watching with a gentle smile
Before placing a small kiss on your forehead
He would give the brothers a piece of his mind later

Hello friend’ I’m new, I love your writing! I was wondering if you could do a m!mc curing anne sallow fic, where she starts to fall for them shortly after :) keep up your wonderful work!
Welcome to the community! We have lots of blankets, pillows and just generally good vibes here 🖤 Also, your kind comments really made my day ^_^
Sorry for taking a little longer than usual – I was in a really good flow and I didn't want to post until I was confident I had it 100% right. Definitely had the most fun writing this one so far, thank you for the prompt!
Healing (Anne Sallow x M!MC)
Tags: Fluff, Just overall wholesomeness, Sebastian being an overprotective bro
“Are you certain this’ll work?” Sebastian asked, his voice thick with anxiety. MC had given him at least twenty different variations of the same answer in the past half hour, but he supposed he couldn’t really blame the Sallow boy for being nervous; he would have likely felt the same in his position.
“I’m confident it will,” he assured him. “It’ll be different this time. I know how to use my ability now, after all.”
“I suppose that’s true,” Sebastian answered, before shaking his head. “It’s just so difficult to fathom… all of this. Knowing that there will finally be an end to her suffering. If this works, I owe you my life, MC.”
“Keep it,” MC chuckled. “You’ll have lots of catching up to do once Anne is able to live without pain.”
He was relieved to see a hint of a smile forming on Sebastian’s lips after all. Truthfully, now that they were coming up on Feldcroft, he couldn’t deny he felt the slightest bit nervous, if only for the massive pressure resting on his shoulders. He didn’t necessarily question his control over his ability, having dedicated himself to rigorous training with the help of Professor Fig to avoid Isadora’s missteps. Still, he was nevertheless terrified of disappointing the Sallows now that he had become their last hope.
Focus, he told himself as they approached the small cottage at the edge of the hamlet. Inner balance is the only way to heal her. You know this.
Before they could enter, the door swung open on its own and a bearded man stepped out, his face hardening as he saw them.
“Mr Sallow,” MC said politely, as he inclined his head.
“I want you to know that if it had been up to me, I would have put an end to this fool’s errand right now,” Solomon grunted. “Do you even know what you’re doing?”
MC noticed Sebastian clenching his fists. He gently touched his shoulder to calm him down before turning to the older man. “I am confident I can heal Anne, Mr Sallow,” he said, his voice lacking any suggestion of doubt. “She personally requested it, did she not?”
Solomon briefly clenched his jaw before he let out a deep sigh. “That she has. She’s waiting for you inside. But I’m warning you, if this somehow results in even more harm, I’m holding you responsible.”
“I will accept any and all responsibility,” MC answered. “May we enter now?”
For a moment it looked as if Solomon would keep blocking the doorway, but then he stepped aside to let them through. Any dispiritedness they might have felt from their chilly reception swiftly vanished when they finally saw Anne. Her face lit up at the sight of her brother, and she reached out for him as he ran up to her. “Sebastian!”
“How are you?” Sebastian asked, placing a hand on her shoulder as he kneeled next to her. “Are you comfortable?”
“Much more now that you’re here.” She nodded to MC. “Hello, MC.”
“It’s good to see you, Anne,” MC said with a gentle smile. He meant it; despite the dark lines under her eyes and the overall paleness of her face, she seemed more healthy than he’d ever seen her. He caught himself involuntarily thinking about the remarkable hidden beauty held by her features and quickly shook his head to regain focus.
“So…” Anne said, breaking the silence. “How does this work, exactly? Is there anything you need me to do?”
“I just want you to try to keep still and make yourself as comfortable as possible,” MC told her, before holding a short pause. “I will be honest with you, Anne, I know this will work, though I cannot guarantee it will be entirely painless. I will try my best, but –”
“I doubt it’ll be much worse than what I’ve already had to endure,” Anne said. “You… you can go ahead, I’ll manage.”
MC nodded, then turned to Sebastian, who was still holding onto his sister’s arm. “Sebastian, it’d be best if you took a step back. You know, as a precaution –”
“Yes… yes, of course.” He exchanged one more look with Anne, squeezing her shoulder. “I’ll be right here in the room with you.”
Anne smiled weakly, briefly touching his hand to reassure him. He withdrew, taking a deep breath as his gaze met MC’s. “Do what you must do.”
MC felt himself tensing up as he drew his wand, readying himself to channel his ancient magic. This was it, the moment of truth. If he couldn’t help her…
No, that was simply not possible. He would help her.
He furrowed his brow as he began, concentrating the surge of energy flowing up from his very core. He directed it into his wand, feeling his hand beginning to tremble as it transformed into a conduit. The world around him ceased to be one of images, instead morphing into a collection of colours; he saw Anne, a shade of bright red contained within a rim of blue light. He reached out, pushing into the red, sensing the pain emanating from her being. The sheer violence of it left him reeling for a minute, sharp needles puncturing every inch of his body, but he knew he had to reach further to be able to remove it. And so he clenched his teeth, pushing beyond the limits of his own mortal form; becoming one with her as he sensed her thoughts, her agony, her everything.
He could hear Sebastian shouting somewhere far away, but he wasn’t really listening to what he was saying. He wielded every bit of strength he had left to withdraw from Anne’s frail body, taking the pain with him, forcing it to assume a physical form. After the passage of what felt like hours, the room morphed back into shape. He saw Anne, slightly hunched over, and Sebastian kneeling next to her on the ground.
“Anne?” He shook his sister by her shoulders, possessed by a sudden panic. “Anne, are you all right? Say something!”
It was as if a rock dropped into the bottomless pit of MC’s stomach. Something had gone wrong. He had reached too far, he had taken away all of her emotions like Isadora had and there would be nothing left of her now but a soulless corpse –
Suddenly, Anne gasped and looked up, her eyes shooting across the room before settling on MC. “You…” she breathed, and MC felt his heart skipping a beat as she slowly stood up from the chair. “You… you cured me. I don’t feel any more pain. It’s… it’s gone!”
She turned to her brother and threw herself into his arms, causing him to momentarily stumble backwards before he embraced her, his face breaking open into a smile that could light up a whole village. “Is it… are you… are you really cured?” he asked, trying to convince himself that he wasn’t dreaming.
MC couldn’t help but slightly tear up at the wholesome display. For all the terrible adversity he’d have had to withstand, now he was finally able to witness the good he was able to do, and it left him speechless. He didn’t even notice Solomon until the man was standing right next to him.
“Anne?” He was making a rather strange sound, and MC realised this was the first time he was seeing the bitter mask falling away.
“Uncle!” Anne freed herself from her brother’s grasp and ran up to Solomon, taking the man’s hand into her own. “It’s a miracle, truly. I’ve been relieved of my suffering. The curse is no more!”
For a moment Solomon was utterly speechless; then he took the girl into his arms, his voice heavy with emotion as he whispered: “I can’t believe it… after all those years…”
His teary gaze met MC’s. “Thank you,” he said, and MC simply nodded.
— — —
Anne’s recovery progressed more smoothly than MC would have ever dared to dream. Within a day she was already back on her feet, helping out around the house with an energy that was simply infectious. MC noticed a remarkable transformation in Sebastian and his uncle as well; they were no longer fighting all the time, and on some occasions he even witnessed them exchanging some kind words, as if there was some completely new side to their relationship that he hadn’t seen before.
MC took it all in with joy and, dare he say, a certain sense of pride as well. He remembered well the conflict that had plagued him after his decision to open the repository, the question of whether he was any better than Isadora and the pain she had inflicted through her good intentions. Seeing the Sallow family healing had provided a definitive conclusion to his doubts.
After a couple of days, he decided to take his leave. When he stepped outside that morning, he was surprised by Sebastian, who came trudging up the hill to meet him, broom in his hand.
“You’re up early,” MC remarked with a chuckle.
“Tell me about it,” he answered, grinning despite being out of breath. “She’s been at it ever since Uncle Solomon allowed her to go outside – making up for all the time she’s lost. Now she’s dragged me into training matches so that she’s ready to get right back on the Quidditch team when she returns to Hogwarts.”
“And she asked you to be her opponent?”
“Hey, don’t give me that tone. Got chewed out by Imelda enough times to be at least half decent on a broom.” He shifted the weight on his shoulder for a moment as he gathered his thoughts. “I can’t thank you enough, MC. What you did for my sister… it’s really the best thing that’s ever happened to us in all of our lives. We’ll be forever in your debt.”
“I was glad to be of help,” MC said, slightly embarrassed at all of the praise. “But… I think it’d be for the best that I be on my way again. I don’t want to be a distraction now that you’re finally able to spend time with each other again.”
Sebastian promptly dropped his broom. “But you aren’t a burden at all! And really, you can’t be leaving already. Anne wants to visit Hogsmeade today and she personally requested you accompany us –”
MC felt his heart involuntarily skip a beat. “She did?”
“You wouldn’t let her down now, right?” chuckled Sebastian. “Come on, it’ll be good. I owe you at least a Butterbeer.”
MC thought for a moment, though it didn’t take long for him to make up his mind. “Well… all right, I’ll join you.”
“Excellent. I’ll tell her you’ll be coming along. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m probably going to get an earful if I don’t make it back in time.”
And off he was again, running back towards the field at the bottom of the hill with a speed that left MC chuckling. It didn’t take too long for his thoughts to return to the matter of Anne’s invitation. Was there some special reason for the gesture, or did she simply want to express her gratitude? And even if there was a special reason, what did that mean for him?
He wasn’t the least bit surprised when he caught himself blushing, as he stared down at the figures flying across the field, swallows on a green canvas.
— — —
“Merlin, that was delicious.” Anne was the first of them to step out of the Three Broomsticks, contentedly wiping off her mouth with the back of her hand. “I’d completely forgotten the taste of Butterbeer.”
“Are you sure I’m not going to have to carry you back home?” Sebastian teased. “I’m fairly certain you had at least twelve glasses back there.”
“Oh, stop it. You’re just saying that because you can’t handle more than one glass yourself.”
“I resent that accusation!”
MC chuckled to himself as he listened to the Sallow twins bantering. He hadn’t quite been able to get a word in ever since they arrived in the village, but then again, he didn’t really mind playing third wheel either. It was great to see Anne and Sebastian both so full of life and unsuppressed joy.
As they stood on the street in front of the bar and Anne was suddenly occupied by a quaint little magical flower stall, Sebastian leaned over to whisper in MC’s ear. “Do you think you could keep her company for a few minutes? I’ll just have to pop into Spintwitches to get her a little surprise gift for school.”
“I’d be glad to,” MC nodded.
“Great. Don’t get any funny ideas now, all right? Even when you think I’m not there, I’ll be watching you two like a Hippogriff.”
The comment left him more than a little perplexed as Sebastian disappeared into the crowd of Hogsmeade visitors, just before Anne turned around, cocking an eyebrow at him when she noticed the absence of her brother. “We’ve barely been out here for five minutes and he’s already gone?”
“He had some… matters to attend to,” MC said, quickly recollecting himself. “We could wait here for a little if you –”
“I’ve waited long enough. We’ll just have to find a way to enjoy ourselves without him, wouldn’t you say?”
Before he had any chance to respond or act, she hooked her arm into his, looking up at him with a smile that made his head spin. “Let’s head to the main square.”
They began their walk through the bustling streets, the late afternoon sun casting a warm glow on their surroundings. The village was alive with the chatter of students and the aroma of freshly baked goods drifting from the nearby shops. Anne eyed it all with childlike wonder, suddenly letting out a content sigh.
“Anything the matter?” MC asked.
“I suppose it all just amazes me. It feels like I’m discovering everything all over again.”
“I’m sure it must be daunting, especially after all that time.”
“It is,” she nodded as she continued, her voice slightly wavering. “I was so focused on surviving that everything else ceased to be… real, in a sense. But now… I don’t know. All of a sudden there is a world of possibilities out there, and I’m not quite sure what to do.”
MC turned to face her, their eyes meeting. “Anne, you’ve faced incredible challenges, and you’ve shown immense resilience. Quite frankly, you might just be the strongest person I’ve ever met. I believe you have the potential to do anything you set your mind to.”
A faint blush tinted Anne’s cheeks as she smiled gratefully. “Thank you, MC. Your faith in me means a lot.” Her voice dropped to a softer tone. “You and Sebastian… you were there for me, even when I had long given up hope. I don’t know what would’ve happened to me if it hadn’t been for you."
The words hung in the air, carrying a weight of unspoken emotions. MC’s heart quickened, sensing a shift in the atmosphere between them. Should he say something? Did she want him to say something?
Just then, the sound of music filled the air, drawing their attention to a small crowd gathered on the street. A band had set up, and people were joyfully dancing to the infectious rhythm.
Anne’s eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as she grabbed MC’s hand. “Come on, MC! Let's join them!”
Caught off guard, MC stumbled for a moment before finding his footing, their heart racing with a sudden surge of all kinds of emotions. As they joined the crowd, Anne’s hand in his, the world around them faded away.
Amidst the swaying and laughter, MC couldn’t help but notice the subtle moments in the way Anne’s eyes lit up whenever their gazes met, and the gentle squeeze of her hand, a touch that lingered just a fraction longer than necessary. Questions began racing through his mind again. Was she just toying with him, knowing it would grind her brother’s gears? No, he had known her to be different than that. But then what did that mean – that there was somehow a deepening connection between them?
But for now, that didn’t matter. He allowed himself to get lost in the dance, riding the wave of her lively spirit, knowing that for now, there was nothing else he needed.
— — —
After dinner that night, Anne asked MC to join her for a walk outside. Sebastian immediately offered himself up to accompany them, but he was sabotaged by Solomon.
“Leave them, boy,” he admonished him, though his tone was not unkind. “I’m sure your sister will manage a few minutes without you.”
MC looked to the man, perhaps expecting a wink or some silent sign of support, but he didn’t see any. Maybe that had been a little too much to ask.
The air outside was refreshing, cool but not uncomfortable, and they walked together side by side for a while before MC decided to break the silence. “Your brother sure seems committed to making up for lost time.”
“I suspect it’s not so much that as the thought of us being alone together getting under his skin,” she said with a chuckle. “Perhaps we should stay out here for a couple of hours, just to see him unravel.”
MC felt a slight tingle in his stomach. Did she just – no, clearly she was just joking.
They stopped on a plateau with a beautiful view of the hamlet, the cosy lights below piercing through the darkness. Anne let out a deep sigh. MC hoped he wasn’t being overly obvious as he admired her profile, the way she seemed to have been reborn with an ethereal sense of beauty.
“So, Sebastian told me you are leaving?” she asked, the hint of disappointment in her voice not escaping his notice.
“It would be for the best,” MC answered. “As hospitable as you all have been, this healing process is something the three of you need to go through together. I would just be distracting you from that. Besides, there are more things I need to do before I go back to Hogwarts after the summer.”
“Not anything dangerous, I should hope?”
“Don’t worry, I do intend to come back in one piece,” he said with a reassuring smile. “But my ability requires further honing… though you are a great testimony to the progress I’ve made so far, I suppose.”
“Glad to be of help, even though it didn’t really feel that way.”
They shared a chuckle between themselves and stood for a few minutes more, simply enjoying each other’s company. Then they spoke up again.
“Anne –”
“MC –”
They looked at each other slightly perplexed, then they laughed. “Ladies first,” MC said, grinning.
“Fair enough,” Anne laughed, before softening her tone. “I suppose I was just going to express my gratitude again, but then again… I think I’ve wasted far too much time to be playing coy with my feelings. So what I really want to tell you is… well, I’ve been thinking a lot. About what I still want to do, the life I want to live. About the place I see in that life – for you and me.”
She looked up at him, their eyes meeting. She had never looked more beautiful, the warm glow on her cheeks visible even in the pale moonlight. She bit down on her bottom lip as she averted her gaze, the simple gesture causing his heart to flutter. “Now look at me, still beating around the bush…”
“Anne…”
He lifted her chin with his finger and kissed her. There were no questions asked, no things said, simply because there was no need. She responded by taking his head into her hands, deepening the kiss as if she had been given a taste of a forbidden fruit, a life she had always dreamt about and which had now finally become real to her, the fulfilment of a wish.
They still didn’t say a word when they broke apart, just enjoying the sweet and vulnerable sensation of the moment. Anne smiled, opening her eyes to him. “I’m glad you feel the same way.”
He took one of her hands into his, squeezing it. “Anne, is this… am I really the one you want?”
“Would I have kissed you if I didn’t?” As if to accentuate her answer, she kissed him again, leaving him breathless as her lips touched his in a way that left him practically a mess.
“I know I want this,” she said after pulling back again, taking both of his hands. “And well… you have some time to think it over, if you need it.”
“I think I’ve already made up my mind,” said MC as he smiled at her. “Though… do you think your brother will take kindly to the idea of us being together?”
Anne burst out in laughter; he wasn’t quite sure what was so funny, but he laughed along nevertheless, finding it hard to resist her giggle.
“Of all the dangers on your path, the perils threatening you, that is the thing you choose to worry about?”
And before he was even able to utter a response, her lips were back on his again, and he simply decided to stop thinking.

I checked out the drama on twitter and the whole thing is blown out of proportion. That person only left one comment on the artist's post and then also apologized for any misunderstanding. I personally see the relationship between Asmodeus and Solomon as abusive after the screenshots you posted. It's not queerphobic to not want to see abusive relationships and I think this kind of representation does more harm than good.
God I really wish I could ignore this but can't...I hope I get my words out right here because lol feeling emotions high rn.
Blown out of proportion? The person literally is queerphobic clearly and transphobic at that too by the looks of things.
I'm keeping this person's identity hidden because I have some kindness still even in such situations...but how can you see this as not a issue? Take note as well, these are AFTER the apology they gave to the artist...
They say 'differing opinions' but what they are clearly showing is just pure queerphobia at best here.
Also, if you have a issue with someone's art. ship art or not. DON'T. COMMENT. ON. IT.
Keep it to yourself, or post your personal opinion on your separate post. Don't respond with negative comments over anyones art.
Also their apology is pointless to me at this point if this is how they responded afterwards.
As well about the whole damn Solomon and Asmo situation. Yes, their relationship isn't perfect. god I still don't support them as a ship personally myself much. Because of my clear reasons I stated many times before.
But I ain't gonna personally go after people over it and post shitty comments on their arts or fics involving them as a ship. Yes, you, and anyone, is allowed to dislike them as a pairing. But actions like, like this person has shown, when it comes to a damn ship, one that is very queer. Is just not excusable, even if you personally don't like the ship. Just blacklist, block, ignore and move on. Simple as that.
Also...God I've seen this talk many times over.
Not every display of queer relationships in fiction or media is gonna be perfect or has to be. Any relationship in such media can often come with their own issues and problems in story telling. But to say every display of queer pairing has to be just pure and good to be counted as 'good' rep. Really isn't okay? Like yes we'll like to see some queer relationships in media be shown in positive lights only. But some of us also like some dark, complicated and just fucked up shit too. Because that's the beauty of art and fiction. It can be either bright and sunny, or dark and stormy in story telling.
This of course, won't be for everyone, no duh, but its good to have different interpretations and options to explore and see. Freedom of creativity pretty much. Even if not everyone will be in agreement of some of those expressions of creativity.
Also its kinda harmful to want to see just queer relationships in media in just a pure light. I get what you're aiming for, but that's like saying characters like Deadpool, Loki, Harley Quinn, the whole damn cast of WWDITS, etc. Are all not valid queer rep in media because they are all complicated or show problematic stuff compared to the just happy bubbly queer rep pairings in other media.
All queer rep is valid rep. No matter if they have problematic stuff or not.
And even tho Asmo and Solomon relationship, if you see it as a pairing, isn't the perfect display of positive queer relationship rep in OM. It's still damn valid and important to a lot of people in the fandom and community.
For out of all the brothers, Asmo, is by far, the only on to truly show his queerness more openly than others. Yet because its not a perfect interpretation to some people when it comes with Solomon...Some want to see that now gone. And honestly...that's not okay. It's just censorship at that point and I'm against that shit.
Their relationship can be improved and fixed in time, I want to cling to hope it will in time. As og OM has apparently shown they did improve things between them in time...
So I hope in NB it turns out the same, even tho the writers clearly messed things up with writing from canon past information to present...
But no matter if its still a messy display for relationship. This is a rep that shouldn't be thrown away or seen as not valid, just because it doesn't fit some peoples personal likes and standards.

Hey mo I know you like to play enstars, so do I so can I get your opinions on which unit each individual obey me boy would be in? I know for a fact Lucifer would be Valkyrie, mammon crazy b and Luke rabbits but everyone else... Can we get that pls 🥺🥺🥺
Heya @darkflowerav! Funny you should ask, remember that one Eichi and Solomon doodle I posted back then? I once reblogged it with some personal headcanons on which unit each Obey Me! character would be in but I eventually set it on private since I didn't know much about Enstars back then.
Now that I'm a bit more cultured *cracks knuckles* I'll revise that old list.
Note: We don't have much information about Thirteen, Mephisto, and Raphael to classify them yet so I didn't include them in this list.
(Credits to @minhyunsdick for helping me with this!)
Lucifer - Valkyrie
I remember you once commenting that Lucifer was like Shu (and even mentioned that "angel who defied god" line from Miwaku Geki / Enthralling Theatre).
Valkyrie is a unit that showcases artistic forms and is more distanced from its fans compared to the others. Lucifer also has this sense of class and nobility with his music taste and would also strive for perfection like Shu does due to his pride. But despite their arrogance, it is shown that Lucifer cares for his brothers like how Shu cares for Mika.
Mammon - Crazy:B
He has huge Rinne vibes in terms of his risk-taking / gambling addiction that often gets everyone around him into trouble, and his role as a caring older brother. No further explanation. (His personality goes much deeper than that, though.)
Leviathan - RYUSEITAI or Switch
We all know Levi's a huge geek, an absolute dork (affectionate), and a gamer so I'm sure he'd blend in with our favorite heroes and magicians. The "negative" side of his personality also has something in common with the backgrounds of these units, if you know what I mean.
Satan - Double Face
The main characteristic of the unit is in its name; it represents the duality of the unit's members. The current Satan has his gentlemanly facade to hide the wrath that lies within.
Asmodeus - Eden (Eve)
Pretty much Asmo = Hiyori; Eden's style and choreography are known to be flashy and dramatic and Asmo would be more than willing to give fanservice.
Beelzebub - UNDEAD (or Butou-kai)
He's like Adonis as a gentle giant. Taking his character song into consideration, I think Beel's voice suits UNDEAD. If shuffle units count, his physical strength could classify him under Butou-kai. (I mean just imagine Beel in FIST OF SOUL)
Belphegor - Knights (or La Mort)
I associate Belphie with Ritsu and his overall character, including his intelligence and lethargy. His soothing voice also suits those units. Not to mention they both dislike their older brothers and things between them were different in the past.
Diavolo - Eden (Adam)
Diavolo is somewhat like Nagisa in terms of character with both of them having lived in seclusion for some time. While he is the next in line to the throne and asserts authority when necessary, he also has a youthful and energetic side to him that is hidden from the general public.
Barbatos - Valkyrie or AKATSUKI (or XXVeil)
Barbatos is a demon of class and always observes proper discipline and etiquette, not to mention he's an ever-quintessential butler. AKATSUKI's traditional Japanese theme also somewhat suits him. I'd assign him to fine but he doesn't really suit the heavenly theme.
Luke - Ra*bits or fine (or Branco)
Pre-character development Luke is more like Tori and his strictness classifies him more in a unit of authority plus, his status as an angel lines up with fine's theme. But if we're talking about his character song and his overall cuteness, he'd most likely be in Ra*bits or Branco.
Simeon - fine or Knights
If Luke is Tori, Simeon would be Yuzuru. Simeon is a representative from the Celestial Realm but also has a terrifying side to him when it comes to his concealed wrath. His protective role as an angel could also line up with Knights' chivalry.
Solomon - Double Face
Cat group as Double Face; similar reason to Satan's. Solomon may be kind and is often shown to be calm and collected with a smile, but there are a lot of dark mysteries about him that we have yet to uncover. (Too bad he can't cook like Mama does)
#hope you like these!#crossovers aren't really my thing anymore but this was pretty fun to do#obey me one master to rule them all#obey me shall we date#obey me swd#obey me#おべいみー#mo rambles into the void#queued

Berakhot 11b: 6. "The Domrainan."
The Mishnah accuse of us not planning too far ahead, of being too willing to sow a breeze and reap a hurricane instead of planning a gathering at the table to eat and sing songs. We have worried about gay people, lesbians, men in dresses and women in trousers instead of renting the land for the purposes God gave us. Rather we drummed up excuses to rend it. Ukraine is the best example I have. We were called upon, like the masses were at the crucifixion to save the condemned and we waltzed away.
The evidence for all of this, our lack of daring and compassion, is damning. And it gets worse, because God says He told us what to do long ago. It is called Shlomo, the Son of David: "multilaterial peacemaking." No one accuses Solomon of doing too much wrong, do they! But us - you can accuse us all day long and still not have enough time to list the wicked things we have done.
The Mishnah says this is par for the course. We are always just about to publish the peace and live in happiness forever, aren't we, then there is what is called a Domrainan, "a tear that falls and puts a stop to it." The Tania within it is "do this and the tears will not fall, not this time."
This moment it all precipitates out and the tears fall is the difference between what we say we want and what we are about to get.
As for Israel itself, no one will ever say the people of the Middle East invited the filthy fucking Mormons to start burning the world down on October 7, 2023, nor was anyone in America paying sufficient attention to the interplay between they and the Iranians, North Koreans, Russians, Indians, and Chinese but alas this they were doing because the flip fuckers think Israel belongs to them and not its real title holders, the Jewish people. They have said they will not give up, will not stop, they are not willing to cooperate with mankind and end its longest running counterclimax to God's will.
I have heard Jewish commentators say the events of October 7 revealed the Jewish people- their strengths and weaknesses to themselves and they are getting stronger for in spite of it, but that is bullshit. This is not what the Rambam, speaking as the Torah said the Jewish people had to do to reignite the Age. Being attacked by a bunch of meth heads from a shitty mismanaged foreign nation was not on the list.
Delivery from the power of foreigners is integral to the future identity of the Jewish people. An invasion from America cannot, according to the Rambam serve this purpose. I call you out on this and to stand up against the US Gov for its role in trying to end the Jewish race for all time and showing so very little worry once it was caught in the act of coordinating it. Certainly the people of Muhammad were all going to pay a price for this as well, they always have.
So as the Mishnah says, we are stuck at Condition Two of the Mashiach, the one where endless debate, bitching, and confusion as to when the sun is actually supposed to rise over a sovereign Israel and free the world from this ancient evil is going to take place. The answer to the code freeze is found below and in the Gemara:
6. In Shlomo the measure of night in the day as a domrainan: "He who creates light and creates darkness", but the measure of day in the night, how can you forget it?
The word Shlomo has meaning of great importance to us:
"The verb שלם (shalem) means to be or make whole or complete, and is also used to describe a righteous recompense or proper restitution (whether positive or not). The familiar noun שלום (shalom) means wholeness, completeness or peace.
Other derivatives are: noun שלם (shelem), peace offering; verb שלם (shalam), to be in a covenant of peace; adjective שלם (shalem), perfect, whole, complete, safe; noun שלם (shillem), recompense; nouns שלמן (shalmon), שלום (shillum), שלם (shillum) and שלמה (shilluma), reward or proper recompense."
To accomplish all of this we need to remember the Mishnah told us we have not even begun to live yet. We are at Day Zero, living behind the curtain with the Holiest of Holies in complete darkness. The Mishnah says remember who creates light and darkness and the answer is Michael, "Who is like God," alllllll the way at the end of the emotional spectrum of man at Day 6.
Within the word Shlomo is what we need to reach Day 6, faster than fast.
The Value in Gematria is 7625, זוב, discharge the flux= Shabbat. Once a man knows how to be truly happy he does not stop. He forgets how to do it any other way. We are a planet of psychopaths who need to learn how to be happy in ways that are pleasing to God, the Holy Talmud was written to emphasize not only is this possible, but it is a must if we are to continue to live in large numbers on this world.
The Nation of Israel must constitute as the Kingdom its God explicated, and men, women, and children all around must be in a covenant of peace with one another that will never end. Then the Domrainan, the positive inverse version of the term above, "the palm tree with eyes that clothe the sea", the Mashiach will present himself.

Too Much Information?
Ecclesiastes 1:18 “For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.”
I led a small group devotional at our church last night on the subject of “Too Much Information” and we had a good time discussing the topic so I thought I’d expand it a little into this present posting. We began with the comment: If you were to take a vote in your church as to what books of the bible were the least favorite to read, I suspect Ecclesiastes and probably Lamentations would be high on the list but despite their lack of popularity to most of us, both are just as relevant to our human condition as they have ever been and I suspect even more so as we become more and more bewildered by the craziness abounding in the world around us. Written by King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, Ecclesiastes declares right at the beginning, ���Vanity, vanity, all is vanity” which pretty well sums up the rest of the book. Given the current fad among the once-called “Christian” nations of denouncing most of its past heroes, its institutions, traditions, laws and even its dictionary definitions, a good paraphrase of Ecclesiastes 1:2 might be, “Insanity, insanity, all is insanity”! Wisdom has apparently flown the coop from the minds of those who rule over us so perhaps it’s time to re-examine where we should go for the wisdom to cope in this Gen-Z, crazy world.
God asks
1 Kings 3: 5 “At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask!... What shall I give you?”
Now there’s a question all of us would love to be asked, especially when it is Almighty God that’s doing the asking. Aladdin’s genie magically appearing out of an old rubbed lamp to ask the gob-smacked “rubber” what wish would he like the genie to grant him doesn’t compare in the least with the magnitude and the implications of God’s question to Solomon. God is far above any genie and infinitely more powerful but just imagine, if God asked you this question how would you answer? Hopefully, like many a beauty pageant contestant, none of us would answer, “World Peace”. Really though, how would YOU answer God? Some might give the same answer as Solomon, others would have a multitude of different answers, depending on the circumstances and some, like myself, would be too overwhelmed by the One who was asking to give any answer at all.
Solomon answers
We all know Solomon’s answer in 1 Kings 3: 6 - 9.
“And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
God gives more than Solomon asked
1 Kings 4: 29-34 “And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men.. and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five. Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish. And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon”.
How typical of our Heavenly Father to give Solomon far more than he asked for! Besides granting him the “understanding heart” he asked for, God also gave him “wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart (discernment) like the sand on the seashore”. What a great example of God’s grace and love for His children this is but:
Did Solomon ask for the right thing?
What did Solomon’s wisdom do for him personally? Certainly, Israel and the world were greatly blessed by it but what did it do for Solomon? How did the rest of his life pan out and is there a lesson for us to learn as we seek God’s wisdom in this woke world? Questions are being raised daily in the media that no sensible person, let alone Christian, should ever want to ask because they are so self-evident that only those totally blinded and drowning in a sea of moral sewage would ever want to ask them. Sadly, they are not only being asked, they are being seriously discussed by supposedly sane people. Questions like, “What is a woman?”; “Should men who think they are women be allowed to compete in female sports and share their dressing rooms?’; “Should aborted babies who are born alive be given life-saving care?”. Yesterday, two hundred and twelve members of the US congress voted “No” to the last question!
Getting back to Solomon. Years after he had built the temple and his palace and filled every desire of his heart, God appeared to him again:
1 Kings 9: 1 - 9 “And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he wanted to do, that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. And the Lord said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’ But if you or your sons at all turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight. Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the Lord has brought all this calamity on them.’”
What follows this passage in chapter 11 tells us that Solomon’s wisdom never left him but he lost something far more important: his love and loyalty to God.
1 Kings 11: 1 - 6 “But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as did his father David.”
Paul tells us in Romans 11:29 “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” meaning that what God gifts to us for ministry, he will never take back but our giftings or callings are never an indication of our standing in Him. Many a famous preacher has learned that lesson the hard way as they tumbled into sexual sin while continuing to preach life-changing sermons and many a devastated congregation has learned it too when it was all exposed to the light! Solomon’s wisdom was no guarantee of Solomon’s success in his walk with God because the key to success for the latter is LOVE, not wisdom. How different would it have been for Solomon if he had asked God for a love for Him and His people. Paul expresses it perfectly in his famous “love chapter”:
1 Corinthians 13: 1 - 3: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am NOTHING. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.”
Too much wisdom can destroy you but there’s no such thing as too much love.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
At the start of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians he asks the question: “Where is the wise?; Where is the scribe?; Where is the disputer of this age?;” and then concludes: “Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?” In asking these questions, he was pointing to all those who think that the answers to life’s challenges can be found in the words of the gurus of this world—the “experts” who write the books and host the debates and write the laws mandating how we must live in this new age. They do so according to the “wisdom of this world” created by godless minds in blinded brains but God calls it all foolishness and foolishness is an apt word for the wisdom of this present age. In chapter 3:19 Paul repeats this thought, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness.”
Solomon had all wisdom and understanding, both Godly and worldly but he ultimately forsook the godly kind and followed the worldly which destroyed him. Looking after seven hundred wives is more than any man can handle and stay sane.
Where do you get your wisdom from?
Today, all of us have the same two sources of wisdom, but the worldly kind has become infinitely greater in quantity and availability through the INTERNET and the latter demands much more of our attention! We now have at our fingertips access to everything that’s ever been known, including both the bible and the world but the knowledge of the latter comes to us wrapped in seductive headlines that grab our attention and pique our curiosity for the latest news. Sadly, many are now addicted to their phones and the evidence for that can be found in every home where parents and children live, in family gatherings and at restaurant tables. The other source is best found on our knees. WHICH SOURCE ARE YOU ADDICTED TO? Mr. Google will answer that question for you when he tells you how many hours you spent last week browsing the multitude of news outlets, sports channels, shopping channels and dare I say, gossip channels we may have watched. Are we really so hung up on Harry and Megan that we can’t wait for their next announcement or for Elan Musk’s latest bombshell from Twitter? Are we so fearful of what lies ahead that we cannot wait to see who wins the next election or what new insane law is about to be thrust upon us? It is this kind of information that is behind the hopelessness and foreboding that drives us to anger and depression.
Too Much Information
Listening to or watching the endless stream of bad news about wars, rumors of wars, pandemics, environmental collapse, scandals and corruption doesn’t give us more godly wisdom but it sure depresses us. This is what Solomon was referring to in the Ecclesiastes 1:18: “For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.” About 60 years ago, an American evangelist went to visit Smith Wigglesworth at his home in Yorkshire, England. He walked up the driveway to the house and was greeted at the door by Smith who promptly told him he couldn’t enter the house unless he got rid of the item he was holding under his armpit—the London Times newspaper! “Those lies cannot enter my home”, he said. In our frustration with the information overload we all face every day, we complain and blame others for their lack of interest about the state of the world. We bemoan fellow believers who fail to see the urgency of the times and refuse to join with us in the battle against these forces of evil but God does not instruct us to attack evil, only to resist it and it us up to us to figure out the difference between these. Yes, we possess all the knowledge and all the tools from God to recognize what is going on around us but before we take any action we must first ask ourselves are we compelled to move by our love for God and His people or just because we are angry? Paul tells us what compelled him and his fellow believers:
2 Corinthians 5:14 “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;”
Though we possess many things from our God and Father, it’s not what we possess in this life that guarantees satisfaction and success—whether it be our faith, our intellect, our talents, our supernatural spiritual gifts of prophecy and healing. It’s what, or better, WHO possesses us and motivates us that makes us a success in His eyes!
We can spend hour after hour watching our i-pads and TV’s trying to gain more insight into all of the insanity and corruption that surrounds us, but all that does is fill our heads with more knowledge, leaving us only angry and frustrated but anger and frustration alone will not change anything unless it is constrained by the love of God shed abroad in our hearts. Solomon’s great wisdom failed to keep him from falling into great sin. May God’s love in our hearts keep us in His great grace and may we find His wisdom to change our world on our knees!

Here are 7 reasons why dating is important in a relationship.

Brothers and Sisters
Solomon wisely states that we should “let another praise [us], and not [our] own mouth; a stranger, and not [our] own lips” (Prov. 27:2). Across cultures, social etiquette embodies the wisdom found here. We simply don’t enjoy the company of the braggadocios who always speak about themselves. We expect others to show some level of humility—even if it’s not sincere.
Thanks to pervasive social media and instant messaging, more people today interact with others primarily from behind the screen of a laptop or smartphone. And as a result, many think Solomon’s wisdom can be ignored. Social etiquette doesn’t seem to apply to social media. For example, the Pew Research Center recently asked U.S. teens what they post online. At almost 50 percent, the overwhelming response was the sharing of their own accomplishments. For girls aged fifteen to seventeen, this number rose to close to 60 percent.
Why is this? I call it the digital deception. When we engage through a screen, something changes. Put an iPhone in people’s hands, and words they would not dare say in person they will eagerly tweet or post as a comment. Digitally mediated communication has led to digitally mindless communication. We don’t think before we speak online. We sit in front of a keyboard and deceive ourselves, suppressing the knowledge of YAHUAH ’s presence and assuming we are alone. But we are not alone on social media. YAHUAH is there. And so is a potential audience of billions of people.
As a result of this deception, our words online are full of boasting. Our comments seek to tear down instead of build up; they serve self instead of serving others. If Twitter was a physical place, I don’t suspect we would desire to visit it or spend time with many of its inhabitants. In some ways, social media has become the worst dinner party you can imagine, full of uninvited guests complaining about the food and insisting that they could cook it better.
Is this really the pattern believers should follow as they communicate online? Regardless of how the world acts and what it embraces, believers have a higher authority. We refrain from boasting not because society frowns on it; we refrain from boasting because YAHUAH frowns on it. The same standard that guides our behavior in public should guide our private lives and all our actions online. As Dr. R.C. Sproul says, “A fragmented life is a life of disintegration.” He exhorts us to “live one’s entire life in the presence of YAHUAH, under the authority of YAHUAH, to the glory of YAHUAH.”
YAHUSHA died for the boastful so that they would boast in ADONAI.
So why is boasting such a concern to YAHUAH? Why does Scripture state that “everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to ADONAI” (Prov. 16:5)? The reason is simple: to boast is to reveal that you believe you have something to boast in, to elevate yourself over YAHUAH and others. The reality could not be more different. Adam disregarded YAHUAH’s command in the garden because he elevated his assessment of the situation above YAHUAH’s. We choose sin whenever we elevate our desire for that sin over our desire for YAHUAH. We say harsh words when we elevate our feelings above the feelings of others. And people reject MASHIACH’s salvation when they elevate their moral self-assessment over YAHUAH’s. Martin Luther described the essence of sin as a turning in on yourself. To boast is to turn in on yourself. To boast is to attempt to take glory that rightly belongs to YAHUAH alone.
So as Believers, we should be cautious and prudent in what we post and share.
Here are two guidelines I encourage you to follow when it comes to your humble use of social media. First, remember that boasting begins in and flows from the heart. As we can’t read hearts, extend a judgment of charity to others and assume the best. Don’t presume a motive behind someone else’s social media update. Second, remember that YAHUSHA summarizes the law of YAHUAH with these two commands: love YAHUAH and love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29–31). Sincerely consider both of these commands before posting anything online. Ask yourself if what you’re about to share will please YAHUAH. If it will, then ask yourself other questions: Is this showing love toward my neighbor? Will it encourage them, challenge them, provide something of value, or deepen a relationship? The big idea is that for Believers, our focus should be external: toward YAHUAH and toward our neighbor.
One of our greatest accomplishments may be our ability to boast. We are all boasters, and we come from a long line of boasters. In reality, social media is giving us a glimpse into the darkness that has existed in hearts since the fall. But the good news is that YAH so loved the world, a world full of sinful and boastful people, that He gave His only Son (John 3:16). YAHUSHA died for the boastful so that they would boast in ADONAI. Even as Believers, we say and do things online that offend others and offend YAHUAH. So we must be quick to repent and trust that ADONAI has cleansed us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). And then we should pray and ask for YAHUAH’s grace to pursue humility and holiness online.
Perhaps, then, these strangers that Solomon speaks of praising us will instead give glory to our Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16).

Nah, it's cool! I fully agree, Solomon is a fucking force to be reckoned with, even taking aside the ability to summon demons with his pacts.
And yeah, the fact that he can throw these spells at Lucifer with ease while not looking at all concerned about the consequences of it - and everything else you've pointed out that he's been able to do throughout the game too - definitely showcases that sheer skill and power. ( also the way he treats Lucifer and Barbatos in general, the man has no fears whatsoever 💀 )
It's part of the reason why I love their interactions so much. You have two of the most powerful beings in the whole three realms who both recognize and respect each others' magic abilities and strength but don't really like each other and it's funny as hell.
Especially with the whole "make a pact with me 🙂🙂" "absolutely not 🙄🙄" dynamic between the two of them.
I can understand your ( and other players' ) perspective on Lucifer's lack of response to Solomon's restraining spell too, though I personally took it as him not seeing Solomon's spell as a serious threat and feeling he had no reason to immediately counter-attack, at least not before he could make a snarky little comment ( he's such jerk :'') ) about how completely out of touch it was for Solomon to even think the spell would have an actual effect on him. But that's on different interpretations and it's what makes these discussions interesting as well.
To sum it all up though, my take on this fight is that Solomon being able to go all out and use his pacts he'd win, because then Lucifer would not only have to fight Solomon ( who's already a tough ass enemy to take down on its own ) but also his pact demons, who could be unknown demons, Asmo or Barbatos, or all of the above, depending on what Solomon chooses to do and how many demons Lucifer can take/Solomon can summon.
1v1 though I'm thinking it's a pretty fair fight, though I'm genuinely not sure who'd win at the end of that particular scenario. Maybe they both end up using so much magic they'd end up collapsing from exhaustion or something like that ( lol ) and it'd be considered a draw. Don't really know.
#this kinda stuff makes me wanna see an actual fight between them 👀#part of me doesn't though because a serious fight between them would break my heart in pieces and I'd never recover from it :)))))#I've already had a mini heart attack when Solomon went “pick a side” on the fountain of knowledge and all that shit happened#I would NOT survive

Random Obey Me Headcannons I Have, But They’re Out of Context
Levi is banned from all karaoke and singing anything throughout the devildom.
Mammon is banned from a lot of Devildom gameshows.
If you want to check if your jewelry is real or how much it’s worth, you go to Mammon.
Lucifer was an alchoholic.
Belphie has two very different reputations throughout the devildom, one as The Lord of Dreams, the other as The Master of Nightmares. On one hand he’s as harmless as a demon lord can get, on the other hand he’s more terrifying than Lucifer.
Beel is head of the royal guard and is a beast during training, but no one is scared of him.
Levi acts very different than his usual self and is more like Lucifer, but only when he’s in uniform/working/on a ship.
Levi is the best strategist among the brothers, even better than Satan or Lucifer.
Very few know about mammon’s job and even fewer know what it entails, but him and his team are some of the most important in the devildom.
Asmo and some of his close companions and followers basically work for/with Satan.
Mammon is the singular reason the brothers didn’t completely break and fall apart after the war ended and they fell.
Mammon often gets pulled into a sectretary-like job by the royal treasurer.
No one is actually sure what Lucifer’s sexual orientation is, but its a running joke for people to wish him a happy pride.
Everyone is the devildom knows that if you’re in trouble at pride, you find Beel or Diavolo first, any of the other brothers or staff second.
Mammon has ADHD, Lucifer and Satan both have ADHD-i (previously known as ADD), they were born/created with these. (Both Michael and Raphael have autism). None of them are diagnosed. (Thanks to grannys-things, I learned new lore about ADHD vs ADD and was able to change this to be more accurate!)
Asmo is OCD, Levi has Social Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Belphie has Major Depression, and Beel has an eating disorder, they developed these after the war and have varying levels of control over the conditions.
Barbatos has Musophobia, it was something he developed after seeing something in the human realm’s future that was unavoidable.
Asmo and Levi go to the Devildom Comicon every year together in full cosplay, a different one for each day.
All Demons have Polyamorous Tendencies, and as royalty Diavolo is sort of expected to have a harem, but he doesn’t care for one. In contrast, Solomon used to have one when he was a young wise king and joking calls his pact demons his harem sometimes.
Belphie has a lot of knowledge about human myths and legends, only Satan ever hears about that though.
Beel has anger issues outside of his hangry fits, he only got them after Lilith died and Satan helped him get them under control.
Barbatos uses his powers sometimes for his own vacations while he’s still working, taking a few months to a decade in the human world for himself.
He and Simeon are quite close and it’s why Simeon was chosen for the exchange program, he’s Simeon’s main informant and proof reader for his series.
Satan has the nickname ‘TanTan’ and only one person has ever called him that and remains the only person allowed to use that name.
There’s more, but that’s it for now! It’s pretty Brother centered, but i’ll do another one with more with other characters! and if you want explainations or have ideas about certain headcannons, drop me an ask or leave a comment and I'll give it context. (All explained headcannons will be linked back to the masterlist, fyi.)

Can I request for like a HCs of otherworld elite demon gn MC? Bc I was inspired by the topic of the observable universe and my friend came into conclusion of like what if there is different heaven and hells in each universe with different gods y'know? Anyway can you do it for the dateables + Diavolo?
A/N: It took me a while, huh? Sorry about that anon dear, but I must say I absolutely loved your idea. Never would have thought of something like that, I just hope I did it justice enough! Btw I also included Thirteen! o((*^▽^*))o
Universes and dimensions. And in each of them there were their demons and their angels, there was an incredibly colorful and joyful culture and you, as an elite demon, can only laugh at the demons who brought you from your world thinking you were a simple human. You look at your hands, wondering what their reaction would be if you showed your claws or your powers. But you hold back, it's fun to see them act with you as if you were a mere human, too fragile to touch. And as you got closer to a specific person you told them about the history of heaven and hell in your world, the people and their religious practices, the songs they sang and the things you liked. And told them about how you were a demon. You even showed them your sigil, laughing, saying you might or might not make a pact with them if you wanted to.
And Diavolo sincerely finds it amusing. He didn't feel any magic, nothing different from what he feels when he's in the presence of demons and he's super invested in finding out all about the other dimensions and about you, about what makes you so different from him. He wants to know everything he can learn because you are someone dear to him and if possible he would like to visit your dimension from time to time to see how different your house and his are different, to see the landscape, the fauna and flora and many more other things. He 100% looks like an excited child bouncing around, in case you give in and agree to take him into your world.
But it is Barbatos who probably knew that different universes and dimensions, different societies and elites existed. He is, after all, the guardian of time and time runs everywhere, regardless of whether it is in this dimension where he acts as a simple butler or in another. And he's always cooking typical dishes from your world and dropping comments that only you can understand, he wants to make you feel welcome even in his own way and having someone able to understand your memes and culture is really amazing.
Ah, Solomon has his eyes twinkling when you tell him about heaven and hell that exists, and how different they are compared to this particular dimension. You imagine, however, that the sorcerer's excitement is because he can make new pacts with you and other demons, as well as learn new spells and grow even stronger. And can you blame him? It's not every day that his new best friend comes from another dimension, he wants to know everything, every ounce of knowledge about where you were born, about your favorite foods, about music, about gods, about laws, everything. And he's only going to be satisfied when he sets foot in your world, until then Solomon doesn't mind using his imagination.
Luke finds it all ironic. You've always tucked him into bed and told him lots of stories to put him to sleep, stories your parents used to tell you when you were just a little kid and he should have deduced that they were original enough to be so rich in detail. Despite the shock of learning that you are not a human but a demon, an elite demon by the way, Luke is handling the news well, he knows you are a good person and have a selfless heart. And honestly he is more than happy to hear everything you have to say about your homeland, especially from heaven and its creator, if possible he would also like to recreate some dishes and hear more stories.
It's not as if Simeon didn't know about the existence of other dimensions, as various rumors about them circulated in the Celestial Realm, but knowing so well that they were true makes him fascinated. He sets aside his Friday days just to ask questions about his world and his home, and he uses all that knowledge to create a new character in his book, a character that audiences love. And of course because he wants you to feel very welcome in this dimension, besides trying to convince you to go up to the Celestial Realm with him so he can show you the pearly rivers and the lush green forests so beautiful that it takes your breath away - he doesn't care if you're an elite demon, he loves you anyway, platonic or romantically.
Thirteen literally doesn't care. She knows from the start that you are not a human, for your soul is strange and unfamiliar, unlike anything she has ever seen while working as a reaper. And precisely because she is a reaper she has traveled through various dimensions collecting souls and guiding them to the places they deserve to be, but it was work and she never had much time to pay attention to your version of the human world or hell. But now she's excited and wants to hear everything you have to tell, every gossip and intrigue, and if you give her permission she wants to caress your horns, wings or tail, she loves the sound of your voice explaining something complex as she listens.
#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me one master to rule them all#obey me swd#swd obey me#obey me diavolo#obey me simeon#obey me barbatos#obey me solomon#obey me luke#obey me 13#obey me thirteen#lorkai headcanon#anon request
