Diavolo: What's wrong Lucifer? Why did you call me?

Lucifer: *sighing* Follow me.

The two go to the basement and see Cerberus lying on the floor while the brothers try to cheer him up or even get him to react, but the three heads have their ears down.

Diavolo: *worried* What's wrong with Cerberus?

Lucifer: I'm not sure… But he doesn't eat, he doesn't drink and he doesn't even want to chew Mammon.

Mammon: *pinching his nose* I think I know what's wrong...

Cerberus: *crying* Wuuuu…

Lucifer: And what is it??

Mammon: *sighing* He found out that Mc has a dog of their own in the human world.

Cerberus: *whining* Uuuuuu…

Lucifer and Diavolo: …

Lucifer: Are you kidding me?!!

Diavolo: Aaaaww.

Mammon: Mc has told him that he will always be their demonic puppy... buuuut he has been like this ever since.

Cerberus: Wuuuu…

Diavolo: He is exactly like his owners *very happy*

Lucifer: *massaging his temples* What have I done to deserve that even my dog is like this?

Welcome home, Cerberus

[ephie-om]

Yes I know it’s canon that the bros are afraid of Cerbie but respectfully I’m throwing that out the window

CW: slight implication of animal death (not Cerberus I swear)

Day 18: Cerberus

Cerberus yawns, first the left head, then the middle, then the right, baring wickedly sharp teeth. He stretches lazily and rolls onto his back, glossy black fur shining in the torchlight. A sound from the mouth of the cavern perks his ears, and he quickly gets to his feet. He doesn’t smell an intruder, but it’s not Lucifer. His eyes train on the darkness as a large form enters the tomb.

Beelzebub comes into view, approaching slowly. “Hey there,” he murmurs, his voice low and soothing, Cerberus bounds up to him, sniffing his hand. He smells like soap and a bit of sweat, and leans in to hug Cerberus’ head in his arms. The massive tail thumps against the floor, happy for the rare visit. Beel scratches up and down two of his chins with both hands, and one of his tongues loll out happily. Cerberus wags his tail and barks playfully, shoving a nose into Beel’s midsection. He laughs and pushes the head out of the way while another one snaps playfully in his direction. “Y’know, sometimes it’s nice to play around with something bigger than me,” the demon remarks with a chuckle.

Mammon runs quickly down the stairs, shutting the door quietly behind him. “Hey, buddy,” he calls softly to Cerberus. He can smell the adrenaline and his eyes narrow, sniffing the air. “You wouldn’t happen to have somewhere I can stash something, would ya?” He looks around the room frantically, and Cerberus catches the scent of something delicious. Mammon produces three sizeable bones wrapped in butcher’s paper, still dripping in grease. Massive drops of drool hit the stone floor as all six eyes focus on their prize. Mammon tosses a bone to each head, which catch it midair. “Yeah, you like me a little better now, huh?” He runs to the back corner of the room, but none of the heads pay him any mind, only barely taking notice of his exit.

Asmodeus trots down the stairs, smelling like a lab-grown peach. “Hello, sweetheart,” he croons. Cerberus yips in greeting, raising two of his heads from the floor. Asmo walks up and begins to stroke his noses gently, and his eyelids flutter in happiness. “You wouldn’t happen to know anything about a magical necklace that a scumbag demon stole from me, would you?” Cerberus whines in response. “Well, I’m sure you won’t mind if I just take a quick look around.” He gives Cerberus one last pat on the nose and meanders away, honey eyes sweeping the room. He spots a trail on the ground, like something had been moved, and follows it until he finds something. Cerberus’ ears twitch at the grating noise as the stone moves again, and all heads raise as Asmodeus screeches. “MOTHERFUCKER! I KNEW IT!”

Belphegor trudges down the stairs, carrying a thick blanket in a bundle hugged to his chest. Cerberus cracks open one eye and stares at him, and Belphegor stares back. “Lucifer keeps waking me up. Something about how I shouldn’t be sleeping during a student council meeting,” he says simply. He lets Cerberus sniff his hand with one nose, while another inspects the blanket. Both heads lay back down, satisfied, and Belphegor settles himself against the soft fur of Cerberus’ belly. The beast looks back at him, then curls protectively around the demon. Belphegor pulls his blanket over his body, and the sound of breathing slows.

Satan enters the tomb awkwardly, protecting a glass bottle and a large plastic bucket. Cerberus catches the scent of roc offal rising from the bucket, making his mouth water. “Already have what I need, I see,” the demon chuckles. Satan uncorks the bottle with a *pop* and walks forward, leaving the bucket behind him. Cerberus walks forward eagerly, but Satan steps in his way. “Just a moment longer, here.” Cerberus whines and tries to step over the demon, who pushes back gently on his knee. He holds the bottle underneath the middle mouth, dripping drool. “Hellhound saliva is awfully hard for most demons to find, you know. Lucky I’ve got you. They won’t know what hit them.” Cerberus paws at the obstacle again, distressed. Satan holds him for only a couple seconds longer before stepping aside. Cerberus bounds to the bucket and digs in greedily, devouring the bloody mess with one bite from each head.

A familiar scent reaches Cerberus’ nose, rousing him from sleep. He barks loudly, scrambling to his feet. Lucifer comes into view and Cerberus licks his entire body, almost knocking him to the ground. “Glad to see you too,” he laughs, petting every inch of fur he can reach. Cerberus’ tail wags so hard his back claws dig into the stone floor to keep balance. “We’re going to do something fun today,” Lucifer announces. Cerberus barks with all three heads again, and Lucifer opens the massive doors to the tomb. His massive paws claw up chunks of dirt as he leaps from side to side, breathing in the fresh air. Lucifer lets him play for a moment, then whistles sharply. Cerberus springs back to his side, keeping pace with the demon.

He only wanders off occasionally to sniff something off the path, but always returns to Lucifer’s side. They walk through the woods until trees give way to sand. Cerberus smells something odd, salty and meaty. A pool comes into view, bigger than Cerberus has ever seen before. It stretches further than he can see, and he looks back to Lucifer, who makes no move to stop him. He rockets towards it, kicking up buckets of sand, and sees something odd as he steps into shallow water. In the depths, he sees an undulating colorful creature nearly as big as him. He wades in further, starting to paddle, and smells the scent of the third brother.

Leviathan, in his sea serpent form, coils playfully around Cerberus. His long body flashes scales of bright pink, orange, and purple as he swims by. Cerberus yips and splashes the water with his paws, sending the colors rippling. Back on the beach, Lucifer sits on the sand, content to watch them play. Bubbles rise to the surface as the two massive beasts swim in circles, a never-ending game of chase.

Dogsitting Cerberus

I think he wants the ball

[melverie]

Honestly at this point it feels like the only way you can win is if you're favorite character is Henry 2.0 because that's the only truly unproblematic one in the entire cast

All he ever does is go blub blub and swim around in his giant ass aquarium and that's about it. Lil guy never did anything wrong in his life

Okay but in all seriousness--you can't even go in half of the character tags anymore because someone decided it would be a good idea to tag their hate post about a character with that character's tag. And I mean if you want to share why you don't like a character then go ahead, you do you. But PLEASE be considerate of others and make sure to not post it in the character tags of all things. That's literally the place people go to enjoy posts about their favorite characters. They shouldn't have to scroll past hate posts 24/7

If you want to share the reasons you don't like a character you are more than welcome to, but PLEASE post it in the main tag and please have the courtesy to leave the character tags alone. It is genuienly so sad to see how some people seemingly cannot be considerate of fans of that character and just post hate in character tags to seemingly cause controversy

The Obey Me community has already shrunk significantly on here, and I'd hate to see even more people leaving simply because they cannot go two minutes without seeing hate of their favorite character in the very tag that's meant to appreciate them

[still-a-morosexual-help]

i think that obey me shld allow me to take care of cerberus and take him out for walkies and nope lucifer this aint your dog anymore its OUR dog and i am the beast keeper

I agree. I think we should steal that old man's dog

[fratboyharem]

Mc, chanting: "2, 4, 6, 8 who do we appreciate!" *Giving the brothers a death glare*

The brothers, begrudgingly: "Mammon..."

Mc: "Wooooo!"

[d3m0nic-sail0rsc0ut]

Arf!

Who's a good boy? You are!

[tsukii0002]

Luke and MC are having a movie night in the living room of the House of Lamentations, when they hear noises.

Luke: *hugging Mc* What was that??!

Mc: Oh, don't worry, it's the time when the middle and left head of Cerberus are fighting with the right head.

Luke: Oh… What is that????!!!!

Mc: *laughing* Levi bought a new game *looking at the clock* he should be on the hardest level.

Luke: Okay… He, he What- what's that noise??!!!!!

Mc: *looking down at the ground* A giant spider, they've been making their way around lately, Lucifer is really pissed off.

Luke: What *about to cry* What was that?

Mc: Oh, it's just Beel *pointing to the ceiling* hi Beel.

Beel: *hooked upside down to the ceiling* Hi Mc, hi Luke.

Mc: *whispering* It's one of his nighttime snack.

Luke: *shivering* I think next time we'll go to Purgatory hall.

i made something because it wont leave my mind

[asmo-appreciator]

I had a dream that it was revealed in a Devilgram that Cerberus was a demon. Like just some demon guy with a giant dog form who for some reason couldn't/wouldn't change back anymore.

And it was also kind of implied that it was Dia's dad who had turned into Cerberus???

[lucifer5lucy]

Some lazy sketching for y'all.

I swear lucifer was shooting stares at Lucy when she took killi out and left the house of lamentation in utter chaos.

Cerberus Preview

Feel free to ignore LOL but if u don't could you write?

mc snuck a cat in and kept in in their room, but MC is allergic to cats. MC is all itchy and sneezing and miserable and the brothers find out what's up, but MC refuses to get rid of the cat.

Obey me swd 😃 I think it be cute since I'm allergic to cats and it makes me sad cos I love cats 💔

AAAAAH I'm sorry it took me so long to make this!! ;-; the end of the semester is always a pain and I had to focus on those big exams before getting back to writing. plus I'm in such a writing slump...

ANYWAYS! I hope you like this one! thanks for your patience lovie! (also, it isn't proofread, but I wanted to get it out as soon as possible)

it's a wonder you made it this far without being caught by one of the brothers. with your runny nose, red eyes, and all the itchiness, you looked like you were suffering immensly. the reason for your terrible condition was your allergy to cats. and the reason your allergy was triggered was because you were hiding an adorable feline friend in your room in the House of Lamentation. why? because it was adorable and it deserved a home and food. but now, quite literally, the cat was out of the bag, and you had to face the Lucifer's anger and his brothers' confusion.

Mammon had known for a while, but he didn't say anything at first. after all, if he had admitted he was trying to find valuables to steal in your room when he heard the little meows of your friend, you would have killed him on the spot. so the demon didn't say what he had seen, he kept his mouth shut.

then Asmo had noticed how miserable you looked and questioned you. your answers felt off and evasive. a cold? you didn't have a fever. he finally understood what was going on when he came to your room, one night, to offer a skincare night while watching movies. there you were, petting the cat on your bed while your nose ran like a faucet. after a lot of begging from you, he promised he wouldn't snitch you to Lucifer.

but could you really trust Asmo to not open his beautiful but stupid mouth? no, of course you couldn't. he let it slip at diner, one day, and there you were.

"MC, I do hope you're aware of your stupidity." Lucifer said, cold like a stone.

"but! he was alone and nobody was helping him! I couldn't leave him like that!"

Satan, as the biggest cat person of the house, nodded in agreement. while he had noticed your state, he couldn't have guessed the cause. now he was sat beside you, with the sleeping animal on his lap.

but Lucifer was not charmed by your puppy dog eyes. nor was he impressed by his brothers lying to cover for you.

"while I agree that leaving the cat outside would have been wrong, bringing it home was not the right choice to make. it wasn't YOUR choice to make MC."

"I know." you conceded. "but isn't he the cutest? and he loves me!"

"for the love of- you are ALLERGIC to cats MC!! you look absolutely miserable! you can't keep the cat!"

"what if we keep it somewhere else? like in my room?" Satan cut in. he agreed with you that the cat was much too cute to be given away. and surprisingly, it seemed the others were too.

"yeah! let's keep it!" Mammon said.

"it's soooo cute and we could make this cutie a devilgram account!" added Asmo.

it took a lot of convincing and promising Lucifer that you all would be good parents to the cat (excluding Belphie, who was sleeping soundly, and Levi, who hadn't even bothered to come out of his room when he'd heard his older brother's angry voice). but in the end, he agreed.

"fine. as long as you take care of it and don't let cerberus get too close."
