Obey Me! Dark Paradise

"Dark Paradise" is the name of the specific timeline my OM! MC, Sara Morgenstern, lives in. It is a bit of a departure from original canon, most notably, Lilith is still alive as an angel and is wholly unrelated to Sara.

These are other facts about Dark Paradise, organized in whatever chaotic order they spawn into my mindspace in.

Also big shout-out to @littlemelodiouslamb, who is the very first person to have known all this :3

(note: I will make an updated list of my OCs soon, but in the meantime check here)

LORE

Belphie is not in the attic in this AU.

Here the Celestial War started for different reasons, so Lilith is still alive, so Belphegor doesn't hate humans (much)

But there is still angst. For example the fact that Lilith feels left out of her family because she remained an angel and thinks her brothers don't love her anymore :)

God in this timeline has the same vibes as the Good Omens God. At one point, Sara meets Him in a dream, and he's a writer surrounded by a bazillion sheets, and on each one there is written the full life of each creature on Earth.

"Falling" is not decided by anyone. It happens automatically once an angel has become too sinful? Evil? I haven't worked out the kinks yet. But the point is that certain actions cause the holiness of an angel decay. Which is why Lilith is still an angel, as much as she wants to be with her brothers she doesn't meet the "requirements" to Fall.

Angels cannot feel romantic or sexual love, they love everything without any particular distinction in the type of love. (So the whole drama with Lilith and later with Simeon doesn't happen).

The Celestial War started because Lucifer didn't want humans to exist, since God was paying too much attention to them. (inspired by the Bible and Paradise Lost)(also more angst for Lilith since she's torn between her admiration for her older brother and her love of humanity)

Both angels and demons don't have a gender, they simply choose whether to appear more masculine or feminine in their human forms, but with no real affinity for that specific gender. In fact, they're not..."anatomically correct". Angels always have Barbie doll anatomy, and demons have  to make a conscious effort to have the... proper parts.

Lilith tries her best to bond with Satan. Specifically, since she likes to paint, sometimes Satan will read her a passage from a book and she'll draw the scene.

Another crumb of angst: Lilith thinks that her brothers wouldn't want to associate with an angel anymore, while he brothers believe that she's horrified by the kind of demons they've become, so they both keep their distance from the other, which reinforces those beliefs, and it's a vicious cycle, so on so forth. (They make up eventually dw)

Just like there are Avatars of the Seven Sins, there are Avatars of the Seven Virtues. The brothers (sans Satan) were the previous Avatars of Virtue.

When the exchange program was created, a meeting was held where each world was represented. The representatives for the Human World were Adam and Eve.

Eve is a bit airheaded and trusts people way too easily, while Adam is a more serious and makes sure Ever doesn't end up in trouble (again. Once was enough). Eve is very enthusiastic about meeting her descendants; Adam less so, but mostly because he has to see Lucifer again.

Because Lilith is still an angel, if the boys are bothering her too much, she can just slap them upside the head to make them stop, since holy burns demons. She can technically "turn it off", but she will leave it on if she's mad at them so they can't touch her.

SARA

Sara cannot form pacts, or she'll die. At the beginning she didn't know this, and avoided forming pacts simply because it seemed sketchy to her. Later the brothers mentioned that her soul isn't fully "tethered" to her body, so she went to ask for clarification to the angels/Solomon who explained that too much spiritual exertion could ☠️. Thirteen also confirmed it later.

Sara wholeheartedly thinks the brothers don't love her for basically the first semester. None of them realized until she was under a truth spell (because hijinks) and offhandedly mentioned what a nice gesture it is that they pretend to care about her (of course they actually do care, that's their little human ray of sunshine, she just can't see it)

Sara's mom basically accidentally adopted Mammon and the other six younger siblings. She pretty much ends up becoming co-parents with Lucifer for the younger ones and Sara.

And clearly, there's a moment where the other brothers call Sara's mom "mom" and cringe themselves to kingdom come. (and Sara has accidentally called Lucifer "dad")

They mostly call her "mom" out of osmosis, since they consider Sara part of their family, her mom is also part of their family, but because they were simply created out of nowhere they don't really feel the lack of a maternal figure. But you know who does, and who immediately calls her "mom"? Diavolo. Luke also calls her mom because he's tiny and cute like that.

Sara's nicknames for the Sinblings are:

Lucifer - Luc (pronunced "Luz")

Mammon - Mo

Leviathan - Levs

Satan - Tan

Asmodeus - Azzy

Beelzebub - Bee (babe or lovebug when they date)

Belphegor - Bel

Lilith - Lily

She wears fake vampire fangs so in the Human World people leave her alone and in the Devildom she fits in more :3

Sara tends to stumble a lot, so the non-human characters have come to the conclusion that humans have bad balance due to their lack of wings/tail.

Henry 1.0 is Sara's pet. She has a ring she can use to summon him like Levi does with Lotan. Although, actually, the ring is Henry 1.0 himself shrunk down, and can simply go back to being big and snakey when needed.

She also has a pocket knife made from one of Raphael's spears (he gave it to her as a gift)

AURIEL

Auriel tries to imitate what Asmodeus was like as the Avatar of Chastity.

Typically masculine, decided to present as feminine for the exchange program for funsies.

Was born during the War, and had one of her four wings ripped off.

Her older brother is Azriel, Avatar of Patience and the Angel of Death. He resembles Lucifer, black hair and piercing golden eyes. He dresses more like a demon, and tends to come off as intimidating (I love the grumpy & sunshine dynamic)

EDEN

After discovering that she wasn't being treated well by the witches, Sara had the brilliant idea that hey, they should go and bring her here! And obviously Mammon immediately agreed because they have minus one braincell between them.

Thing is, Eden doesn't know that Mammon is a demon, she thinks he's just a human that can use magic, so for a few days she's just stuck in Mammon's room while they figure out how to break the news to her, and also because Lucifer doesn't know they brought her there.

Lucifer does eventually agree to let them keep Eden there, however she's obviously scared out of her mind by everyone and everything (aside from Mammon), so she's basically glued to his side for the first couple months. She'll start crying if they look at her twice, baby is frighten.

VIRGIL

Virgil, unlike Regan, is a fallen angel.

His Sloth is less "voluntary" than Belphegor's; he would like to do more things and be more enthusiastic, but he simply has no energy, and he hates that :)

He's in the Navy.

Has a Human World Appreciation Club at RAD along with Regan.

Him and Regan are housemates.

REGAN

Famous Devildom idol.

Has a Human World Appreciation Club at RAD along with Virgil.

Her demon form is based on a rosy maple moth.

Her and Virgil are housemates.

ENVY

Comes from a large family, and often felt neglected.

Met Levi at a Human World convention Sara dragged him to (she was cosplaying as Chocola from Sugar Sugar Rune).

Offered to become Eden's legal guardian since she still needs someone on paper for Human World documents and stuff.

MELANIE

Whoop whoop, new OC alert! (thank you @littlemelodiouslamb for convincing me to pull her out of the recycling bin)

Human World idol, and fifth human exchange student.

Has a (mutual) crush on Diavolo. They're just both awkward beans and have no idea how to actually confess.

Her stage name is M-Lock, which is both a play on "hemlock", and her full name, Melanie Locke.

Barring Solomon, she's the oldest human in the exchange program at 22yo.

It's so telling, it feels like he's saying "I see him in his entirety; I don't see the best, I see him as he is."

There's no idolised view of Hannibal that I feel like we can argue Alana has - she stakes a lot of blind faith on taking Hannibal at face value partly because she doesn't want to believe he's capable of terrible things but also because if he is, that means she didn't notice. Her perception of self & others is on the line, if Hannibal - who she's known for years, who was a fellow student and a colleague for many of them - is a serial killer, that must severely impact what you think you know about others and your own ability to sus people out.

It's like when Jack gets Abigail to look at Nicholas's body and Alana says any reservations she has about Abigail don't extend to Hannibal - this idea is only reinforced throughout the season and especially season 2 when she's in a relationship w him. Bc how can you begin to wrap your head around that, that you not only don't know him, but you really don't know him.

Will doesn't have that, he knows what Hannibal is capable of and sees all aspects of him - as he sees all aspects of everyone he gets into the mind of. There's no ideal view of Hannibal to him, something to soothe his trust in others or indeed his own gauge of character - he just is as he is, and Will sees that darkness for what it is.

I do think it's interesting to view it similarly as Will realising Hannibals crimes weren't even the worst of him...maybe it was his ability to befriend Will and then cast him aside to rot. Bc really I feel that's what he's most upset about, that Hannibal had managed to do that to him. Thinking abt in Mizumono where it had only taken hearing Hannibal say "Hello?" for Will to change his mind, vs Hannibal being able to put Will through the BSHCI and court trials before missing him too much and changing his mind. Like ultimately Will hadn't been able to hurt Hannibal, but Hannibal is always able to hurt Will and then regret it. Veeerryy interesting...

Y’all remember when will is fresh outta jail and Alana tells him to back off Hannibal, and he’s just like “you see the best in him, I…don’t” and you realize that Will was gonna say he sees in the worst in Hannibal, but it suddenly clicks for him that he doesn’t actually think that Hannibal’s crimes are the worst of him…
