#which worked on Lucifer

Idk if you're still doing requests but could you do one of Adam laughing his ass off when Micheal gives him a rooster toy but it's like one of those ugly loud long yellow rubber chickens but Adam thinks is cute and hilarious. Micheal, maybe, is just glad Adam likes it.
I have so many headcanons on WHY Michael loves roosters qusgwishsis but one of them is it being God assigning all the archangels an animal to represent them as, like Lucifer is a duck (cute and goofy) while Michael is a rooster (the one that fights to protect it's flock) ahsishsowjs anyways the second hc I have about it is that (it could be either seen as platonic or romantic) but Adam was the first person ever that Michael had to create SOMETHING after Lucifer was banished to wonder earth with Lilith; he was left with the responsibility of creating new creatures for Adam (and he wasn't like Lucifer in that category of creativity, so it meant a lot for him when Adam would praise him for his work). The rooster was literally the most convenient (he did it to help Adam wake up in time to do his chores bc the first human would complain about oversleeping and not being able to finish all of his duties in time before nighttime) and beautiful thing he's made not only for Adam but himself too.
Third hc is because of Lucifer. I love them being caring over the other but I like to see Lucifer admire and feel inspire by Michael's hidden creativity that isn't allowed to share bc he's meant to fight not dream. So Lucifer just loves whenever he sees Michael 'slip' up and do something like an object or creature. I have this whole idea about more than anything but it's Michael singing to a young dreamer lucifer šš ahdkwjsossjsow
[Michael: More than anything
More than anything
I'll shelter and adore you more than anything
Lucifer: Michael, I don't need you to protect me from this
Michael: I just don't want you to be crushed by them like
Like I was
Lucifer: Michael...
When I was young, I didn't really know you at all
I always felt so small
But I heard your stories and I was enthralled
The tales about your lofty dreams, I listen breathlessly
Imagining it could be me
So it's the view I had of you
That showed me dreams can be worth fighting for ]
I dunno it just makes things more tragic after Lucifer's fall.
I also hc Michael having his wings down when being only around Lucifer as he felt relax an at ease while being around him, the brothers all knew that Michael wings were always tensed, up (to look bigger), and alert or tucked away as he had issues on trusting someone/something won't happen if he let his guard down, and without Lucifer (fallen) it was unlikely to ever see his wings down but somehow after Adam entered heaven they started noticing Michael's wings flapped excitedly and flopped downwards while speaking or being around Adam.
Last hc I promise ahsuwwjiw but I also like hc Michael having a prosthetic wing after Lucifer's fall from trying last minute to protect Lucifer but having to be put down by one of the seraphim ripped his wing off as a warning (it was both traumatic for Lucifer and Michael that Lucifer just accepted his fate and shielded Lilith from most of the pain of the fall).
Anyways sorry for the long rant anon ššš®āšØ
#asksā”#lucifer morningstar#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel adam#guitarhero#michael x adam#the last drawing was me being silly ahshwishwus#totally drift away from the ship and went on ranting about my hcs sorry šš#it just has to be special and meaningful#another idea is Michael creating a rooster for Lucifer as he was punished for one of his dreams so to cheer him up the rooster was made#to make him laugh#which worked on Lucifer

Belphie blinks at you in greeting as you slide under the covers with him, only humming gently when you hold onto him for dear life. Dark indigo eyes noticing with interest that you haven't even started getting ready for RAD yet---not that he was one to talk---the Avatar of Sloth merely gives you a lazy smirk and wraps his tail around you under the covers as you whisper a strangled out, 'hide me'.
He nods slowly, his throat feeling much too heavy, and he himself feeling much too lazy to use his words. A pale hand pulls the covers over your head, just in time too, as Lucifer bursts into the room, ruby red eyes shining like a wolf on the hunt.
"Have you seen MC?" The eldest asks, paying no mind to the usual sound of morning chaos coming from the rest of the house.
Belphie lets out a strangled, lazy, "Nope." all the while his tail tightens around you.
Lucifer shakes his head. Looking at the you shaped lump under the covers. Merely pinching the bridge of his hooked nose and sighing, "MC. If you wanted a break from RAD, you could've just asked instead of opting to hide."
You pop out from under the covers, eyes wide like a deer in headlights, Belphegor's arms wrap around you from under the covers, his eyes sleepily tracing the features of your face as you speak.
"Right.....yeah. Sorry Luci?" You tilt your head, the Avatar of Pride's eyes soften a fraction.
"Be sure to catch up on your schoolwork, we only have room for one academic failure in this house and I'm afraid that spot has permanently been reserved for Mammon." Lucifer says sternly, though you can see the faintest upward quirk of his lips.
"Aye aye Captain." You nod, sleepily saluting the eldest.
"Belphegor."
Belphie turns to look at his eldest brother.
"Just because MC has a day off school, it doesn't mean you have one. Your uniform's hanging up by your desk." The ebony-haired demon walks out of the room.
"...Diavolo fucking dammit."
#rant incomingšššš#i had my first proper day back at school today im going to jump off of a building tyvm.#gng im not stepping foot in there again my uniform sucks and im eepy and its only been one day#but i got half of my results back and they spell out BAABAA like a sheep which is fun š#so this year im gonna have to GRIND to work those As up to A*s/maintain those As; and then work the B's up to As (+ if its a high B; an A*)#+ i cant do any languages for A levels if i dont do higher tier in all aspects of it; which I NO NO WANNA ITS GONNA BE HARD :(#+ im starting violin this saturday (i can hardly play piano gng idk what im doing)#gng idk im struggling but not struggling? like happy for the oppurtunities but by Jesus Christ im going to do a whip nae nae#obey me imagines#obey me shall we date#obey me x reader#obey me headcanons#obey me mc#omswd#obey me lucifer#obey me belphegor#obey me belphie

I swear to shit if I see one more person calling Charlie Morningstar a boring flat character i'm throwing hands
#she literally has had her own goal since the pilot#a goal SHE thought of by the way#not her father#not Alastor#not Angel Dust#not somebody else in the hotel or some random sinner on the street#she's made fun of for believing in her dreams constantly#everybody always doubts that Charlie's ideas are going to work even Vaggie and Lucifer#but does she let that stop her? no#she wouldn't take any of Adam's bullshit#her redemption plan ends up not being in vain when Sir Pentious goes to heaven#she defends the hotel in the finale and it was her idea because she's not letting her dream redeeming be all for nothing#she wasn't afraid to call the angels out on their hypocrisy along with Emily#and btw this show isn't even close to being done#protagonist usually start developing two or three seasons later after the first so why should Charlie be an exception?#give her a chance guys#charlie is a good main character and screw anyone who says otherwise#she's the protagonist for a reason#hazbin hotel#charlie morningstar#bad takes#hot takes#seriously are we watching the same show?#forgot to mention she also called Valentino out because he was abusing Angel Dust which exactly what got Angel to start respecting her

speaking of the vees i cannot stop thinking about this shot
both because it's visually delightful, and because there's just something so adorable about Velvette stating 'I'm the backbone of the Vees' and rather than being something more overtly 'badass' her background is a collage of mostly 'check out how cute and cool my boyfriends think I am'
#also advertisements for what I presume are collabs#(....i mean her and val would both be SO obnoxiously amused by like. cake pops or popsicles or whatever they are of them)#(they worked together on that 'love potion' and are both Very interested in the mental image of lucifer/adam)#(they have a niche of being pervs together is what i'm saying and 'images of us that people put in their mouths'...)#also. i love the vees petnaming each other so much....#val's 'babydoll' and when vel is like 'kisses darling!' before hanging up with vox earlier that ep#can possibly count Vox's 'my dear' we'll have to see more of his speaking patterns#hazbin velvette#the vees#poly vees#that's the only tag i've seen on more than 1-2 posts... i did see someone use#polyamorvee#which idk if it'll catch on but i love it so#happy days in hell (hazbin tag)

He didn't like Lucifer.
never had.
He didn't want his approval, or his affection, or anything like that.
He never needed it, never wanted it. He despised the elder demon with everything in him; had from the moment he was brought into this world with nothing but wrath in his heart.
...
So why did it hurt so much?
Why did his heart ache when you and Lucifer announced you were expecting a child?
Why did the world freeze when Lucifer wrapped a protective hand around your waist and pulled you close with a smile?
Why did this throat close when he noticed the swelling stomach and the love in Lucifer's eyes?
Why couldn't he breathe when the babe was born and Lucifer held his precious child close, tears clouding his eyes?
Why did tears spring to his own eyes when the child grew and Lucifer held their hand, was there every step of the way, helped them up when they fell, spent his every waken moment dedicated to them,
...
Didn't pawn them off to his younger brothers,
Didn't push them away when they got too close,
Didn't turn away in shame,
Didn't ignore their existence,
Didn't hesitate to call them his child?
...
Satan was not jealous, no.
He wouldn't be.

honestly at this point if i see 'lucifer fan' in bio - i run away and i run even faster if it's radioapple fun š
too tired of 'tall buff stoic manly man and his cute short feminine girlie' i see 99% of time from these people
there's some who only post luci/lilith and these ones are ok (still not everyone tho) but the large part just have veeeeery different view on his character than i do
"too tired of 'tall buff stoic manly man and his cute short feminine girlie'"
Me too, bro. Me too. Why can't we have tall buff stoic masculine girlie and cute short feminine man. Or tall cute stoic man and short masculine girlie. Or short stoic masculine man and cute tall feminine girlie. Let's mix things up a little. Variety is the spice of life.
Apart from him being UwU-ified to Hell and back (lol), I think one of my biggest fanon Lucifer pet peeves is when he's absolved of all his faults and wrongdoings. Like, when the "blame" for Lucifer and Lilith's divorce is put solely on Lillith. Or she's made out to be this super abusive, manipulative partner who's been taking advantage of him since Eden. Like she's the one who kept Charlie and Lucifer apart, and thus is the reason they're so estranged. Like he's this wide-eyed, easily manipulated ray of sunshine who can't defend himself. Like he's this poor little baby man who's never done any wrong, and everyone else just bullies him.
I'm a-okay with Lilith being the big-bad of season 2, or season 3, because evil and/or morally grey female characters fuck yes, but after seeing how much hate she gets (after 5 seconds of screen time at the end of the show) and how much she's blamed for everything wrong in Lucifer's life, it makes me hope that she's not the villain.
A lot of my dislike for Lucifer's fanon characterizations is based on his interactions between Alastor or Lilith, I'm actually just now realizing.
This got a little side-tracked, but yeah, a large part of it really is just having very, very different views about his character.
#LET LUCIFER HAVE FAULTS#LET HIM MAKE MISTAKES#LET ME TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRONGDOINGS#he is not innocent#and I doubt he was āblamelessā for his and Lilith's divorce#or his and Charlie's estrangement#being depressed does not excuse the repercussions of his actions#I just want some nuance PLEASE#idk im so picky about how characters are written/drawn#i can be so easily turned off from the smallest character change in fics#which is wild because i can read the most OC smut fic and still enjoy it#crazy the workings of fandom#but yeah#no UwU Lucifer allowed on my blog#this is an Anti-UwU Lucifer zone#asks#anon#anonymous#hazbin hotel#alastor#hazbin alastor#lucifer magne#lucifer morningstar#hazbin hotel alastor#lucifer x lilith#lilith morningstar#lilith

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledgeā answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond. The stars will not, but one day something else willā and we will not like what it has to say." ā Rome Solomon, Beyond the Exosphere (1965)

TERMINAL. BABY. FACE.
Another silly Vault 666 comic, because every time I draw something with Lucifer in it his stupid baby face bugs me.Ā
It drives him crazy in-universe too, though. He canāt grow facial hair to save his life (only patchy little wisps of almost-invisible blonde peach fuzz). He is 5'2ā³ and has a baby face and it is SO HARDĀ to get people to take him seriously sometimes. He likes wearing his lab coat outside of his workshop because people still tend to associateĀ āscientistā withĀ āauthorityā and he will take whatever help he can get at this point.
Doesnāt help that most Wastelanders age like milk due to exposure to elements, poor nutrition, tons of environmental hazards, and radiation everywhere.Ā
Text translation below cut:
Charlie: Bye guys, be good!
Lucifer: Have fun, girls!
Angel: Mustāve been tough, raisinā Charlie.
Lucifer: Huh? ...Not really. The vault was safe, and Lilith was SUPER hands-on.
Angel: Well, yeah, but sheās in her 20s now, right? You mustāve been crazy young when she was born.
Lucifer: Uhh... Iām 47.
Angel: NO FUCKINā WAY!
Arrow to Alastor: 36 years old

"AU about Lilith being Alastor's bio mom"
Consider me confused and intrigued. Please go on.
You think you're confused? I have no idea what's going on here and it's my brain!
Okay, so I don't really have anything yet. How does Lilith end up pregnant with a human's child? I dunno. Who would Alastor's dad be? I dunno, I literally only just started daydreaming about this. Half-considering making his dad a gender-swapped Nicaise. I do think I'd have his dad be a Creole man in this AU though, even though I normally think his dad is white, bc I don't want to lose that part of Alastor's background.
But it would be so, so funny to see Lucifer's face when he finds out! And sad, give the poor guy a comforting pat on the back.
I'm torn between whether I'd have Lilith raising Alastor herself, or if she'd leave him with a human family. Actually, now that I've typed that, maybe Adam figured out the fact that Lilith had another child and was blackmailing her as part of whatever deal they set up.
I think this AU would make things worse between Alastor and Lucifer, with Lucifer actively resenting Alastor for being Lilith's son. He's definitely the type of petty who would respond badly to this situation. Adam and Lucifer are alike in this way and this results Alastor having a much, much worse time on the hotel's roof.
And this would probably also change how Alastor interacts with men vs women. If he was raised by a single dad with Nicaise's personality, maybe he wouldn't write off most men as stupid brutes. Maybe having Lilith as a distant or absent mom would sour his opinion of women. But then, if he still met and befriended Mimzy, maybe not so much.
#ask#anonymous#Hazbin Hotel#Lilin Alastor AU#Alastor#Lilith Morningstar#lilin were said to be the children of Lucifer and Lilith#which honestly fits Charlie better but the word calls back to Lilith's name so I like it#this is just a loose idea at this point#I am considering having Alastor's conception happen under some pretty bad circumstances#but that wouldn't really work if his father was a gender-swapped Nicaise#I also don't see Lilith going to Earth for a vacation like Lucifer#she seems to love hell and be pretty devoted to its people#going by Charlie's story in the prologue anyway#maybe if she was summoned to Earth against her will?

castiel & uriel as michael & lucifer parallels drives me insane btw
#on the head of a pin fight scene u will always be famous#because like. despite all his talk of free will in s5 onwards. cas is like.#he's still working Within the framework of heaven. he is trying to graft free will onto the system of heaven.#which is. not something that can be done. heaven isn't set up to have that.#it's been explicitly Not set up to have that since lucifer fell.#in a lot of ways. cas is still serving god. he's a bit like ex-christians still using what they were taught to judge the world without#realizing that they have a bias.#and ANYWAY. this is me saying uriel rebel leader who wants nothing to do with heaven vs castiel rebel leader who wants to take heaven.#spn#castiel spn#uriel spn#lucifer didn't try to break the system of heaven hard enough. he still wanted a place in it. uriel would. uriel could. i believe in him.

Infernl Friends AU:
Imagine the scene, little Ik was currently doing her homework when she come across something she doesnt understand. Her dad isnt home right now so she cant ask him and Aunt Lisa is busy so thatās a no as well. But then she remembered something, why not ask Lucifer/Satan! (you can pick which one you want to be called). The others keep saying heās very smart so why not ask them. So Ik call Lucifer/Satan, he appeared and Ik instantly ask him to help her. He thought it would be easy, he thought it would be easy. How could it not be? It was just a measly 2nd grader homework until he saw what it is about. Photosynthesis
How would Satan and Lucifer respectively deal with this problem? What do they do when they realize this was something they dont know about but doesnt want to disappoint the expectant Ik? (Although maybe Satan already know about this but what if he doesnt just for this scenario)
- š§ Anon
i'd say lucifer's more likely to just concede that he doesn't know, since he doesn't want to face the embarrassment of giving an answer and having it be wrong - also, prime opportunity to teach ik how to seek out answers for herself!
unfortunately he doesn't know where to start looking, so they spend like an hour going through an encyclopaedia before he finally figures out that it's a plant thing - then once they finally get an explanation in kid terms, ik gets it immediately while lucifer remains completely perplexed for much longer than he'd ever admit
meanwhile satan tries to logic his way to an answer, unwilling to tarnish the "capable and knowledgeable big brother" thing he's got going on - unfortunately, the best he can get is that 'photo' means light, so uhh... light magic, maybe? wait, that's not a thing up here
eventually he does also admit he doesn't know, and he actually takes a much shorter time to look up the definition in a book somewhere, given his experience with this kind of thing - ironically, he would've beaten lucifer for time if he hadn't spent so much time trying to sound like he did know
#answering asks#anon asks#š§ anon#satan is also confused about it for much less time than lucifer#in my eyes satan is a lot more open to new knowledge that doesn't follow known rules than lucifer#because he's practised with suspending disbelief from reading fiction plus with taking new info in stride from reading nonfiction#meanwhile lucifer's composure and poise depends completely on the fact that he's usually in control of any situation he's in#control which requires everything to act as he expects it to and so he doesn't respond as well when the rules change#(you can see this happening in the minecraft chapter)#all that aside lucifer's also just bewildered by the concept - like how does that work. how do they turn the light into food#jtta aus#infernal friends au

for the fanfic ask game: F and N!!!!
Hello anon!!
(Question from thisĀ list of fanfic author questionsĀ - come ask me more!)
F. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.
This is so hard because writing dialogue is my favorite. Okay let's see. Off the top of my head I thought of:
"You," Vox growled as he sidled up next to Alastor. "Me," the Radio Demon replied with a special shit eating grin he kept in reserve only for him. He took another sip of the admittedly very nice whiskey (one point in this terrible club's favor, his internal review of the place jumping from minus 4 to minus 3 stars). Vox snapped his fingers at the bartender and a drink was put in his hand immediately. "Manners," Alastor chided. "You can tell so much about a person by how they treat waitstaff, you know." "Fuck you, first of all," Vox said, pointing the glass at him accusingly, "second of all, what the fuck are you of all people doing at the trendiest night club in the whole city? I thought you'd burn to a crisp like a vampire walking into a church if you set foot into a place that refused to act like culture stopped evolving after the Great Depression." Alastor huffed a laugh. "I'll have you know, my dear, that I enjoy an evening out every so often. I'm not a nun." "And, so, what? You guys picked here?" A disbelieving chuckle clung to his words, glitchy and warped. Vox leaned into Alastor's personal space a little, screen lighting up with one of his patented shark toothed grins. "I had no idea you were so fond of EDM music, must have missed that segment on your little radio program." Alastor refused to take a step back, instead letting his smile turn into something sleek and serpentine. "Oh, so you do listen to my program! I was wondering who's been writing me all that deranged fan mail lately, so good to find an answer to that little mystery!" Tinny canned laughter played through his static, a few whoops thrown in for good measure.
(sic)
"Pfft, lucky for you! If this place wasn't warded I'd beat your ass so hard they'd have to sell your hide as ground venison." Vox let his own internal studio audience ohhh at the insult, grin dripping with malice and pixelated saliva. The Radio Demon rolled his eyes, his monocle a shard of glittering red in the dark of the club, elbow leaned primly against the bartop. "My dear fellow, it would be a miracle if you could even lay a fingertip on me before I rend you down into scrap metal and sell you for pennies." Valentino slotted himself between them, angling for the bartenders attention. "Girls, girls, cut it out, you're both pretty."
It's from my radiostatic fic Betty Boop Then The Beat Drops which I'm still bizarrely fond of, even though I think it could be a better fic in places. The reason why I love this dialogue is because I think it's so SNAPPY. I love BANTER and Vox and Alastor do it SO damn well. They're both the very definition of catty bitches and they love to quip at each other. Alastor's snark is sharp and witty while Vox's is a little more bravado-heavy, but it works so well. This section was an absolute JOY to write. They're both so MEAN. Writing their snark lets me let out MY inner catty bitch and it's the best time ever.
The end bit with Valentino, who is bizarrely a RIOT to write, is just so absurdly funny that I can't help but include it. They're all fucking terrible and it makes for fantastic comedy.
Is there better, wittier, snappier dialogue in stuff like Fetch Quest or the Cursed Cat Alastor fic or the one where Valentino teaches Alastor gen z slang? Completely. But for whatever reason these two being dicks to each other here is so funny to me that I can't help but hold it dear. It just sounds like them, I can hear it so clearly in their voices. Now that's good television dialogue!
N. Is there a fic you wish something else would write (or finish) for you?
I'm not going to tag him here, because the good doctor just started his residency and he has enough going on (so tell him I said nice things!), but DEAR GOD do I wish I could pick Prince-liest's brain on how to write Vox in a sexy context. HOW DOES HIS BODY WORK???
I had a great idea for kink week back in June involving Vox and Alastor and I failed completely at writing it because I just could not figure out in my head how Vox's whole deal worked. It's mostly why I haven't written anything smutty in a radiostatic context yet. I'm utterly flummoxed on how to write Vox's body.
Prince is the fucking GOAT at it, though. His 666: Live On Air! series is FANTASTIC. Literally the gold standard for demented radiostatic and his Vox is exceptional. Prince absolutely understands how that weirdo's body works, in lots of different iterations even, and executes it flawlessly in his writing. Completely believable, completely makes sense. I bow down before him.
Don't get me wrong, I'll get there at some point, but MAN. Vox, buddy, the actual fuck are you, my guy. Prince, sir, doc, I don't know how you do it but I tip my proverbial hat to you.
#ask soot#hazbin fanfic#dialogue is my favorite thing to write#which is probably why I weaponize it so often when I write comedy#I play music and dialogue has a similar cadence in my head to music#also Vox what the fuck#how does your junk work#Lucifer never gave me this much trouble#if you stopped giving me agita maybe YOU'D get a nine part gothic series too buddy#anyway what was I saying#oh yeah go read Prince's writing#ask anon
