Adolescent Antichrist (Book 5) Chapter One

Father Figure! Lucifer x Teen! Reader

Chapter One: Is That So Much to Ask on My Birthday?

Summary: (Y/N) has to deal with their birthday without Lucifer.

Mouse Note: Welcome back to Adolescent Antichrist! Book 5 is here! And, yes, we're starting out unhappy. Sorry not sorry, it's necessary. But, anyways, I hope you guys enjoy! Please remember to comment, I love interacting with you guys. I'm so excited to share everything I have planned with you all. I have the next two books planned, and I am just so so excited to start this book and continue this series. Seriously. So, here we go! (Also, me posting a birthday chapter on my birthday??? Wow)

(Y/N) ignored the knock at the bedroom door as they slept.

“(Y/N),” called Chloe.

They groaned and pulled a pillow over their head.

“(Y/N), come on, everyone’s here,” said Chloe.

No, they’re not, thought (Y/N).

“Just come out for a little bit,” said Chloe.

“Leave me alone,” said (Y/N) finally.

“(Y/N), all your friends are here,” said Chloe.

“I don’t care.”

“It’s your birthday. They want to support you.”

“It’s my birthday. I just want to be left alone,” snapped (Y/N).

“(Y/N)—”

“Go away, Chloe. Please.”

“…Alright. But I’m right outside if you need anything,” said Chloe.

She didn’t get another response.

(Y/N) just curled up more and tried to ignore the outside world. The ache in their heart from Lucifer’s absence hadn’t abated, and they were left feeling empty every day without their dead. They went about their days like a robot, trying to remember how to feel but unable to trust themself to get close to anyone after the person (Y/N) decided to trust first betrayed them and abandoned them.

Now (Y/N)’s birthday had arrived. They were turning sixteen.

And their dad still hadn’t come back. They were still alone and broken and empty and tired of everything. Nothing anyone could do could fix the whole Lucifer’s departure had torn in them.

(Y/N) just wanted him back. They wanted Lucifer to come home. They wanted their dad to come back to them.

Instead, (Y/N) was forced to confront the fact that he wasn’t coming. Once again, they had to understand that not even important moments of their life would bring Lucifer back. He was gone—forever.

And (Y/N) would be broken forever.

“Are they coming out?” asked Olive hopefully as Chloe walked back into the living room.

Chloe sighed and shook her head. “They’re staying in. I’m sorry that you all came out here for this.”

“(Y/N)’s our friend. Of course we came to support them,” said Noa.

“Even if they’re not ready to celebrate,” said Leon.

“But they haven’t felt alright for months,” said Marcel, worried.

“Is there nothing we can do to help them?” asked Amenadiel, looking at Linda.

The therapist sighed. “I don’t think so. Only time can really heal this. Lucifer leaving…It’s a big change for them.”

“And Birdie has enough trauma surrounding abandonment that this really hurt them,” said Em, casting their eyes down.

“We should leave them alone,” said Chloe. “That’s what they said they wanted.”

“We’ll leave their gifts here,” said Linda, smiling. “If they need anything, just let us know.”

“Yes. We’re here to help,” said Amenadiel.

“Yeah! And we all sent (Y/N) messages to say, ‘Happy Birthday,’ ” said Marcel.

“They’ll appreciate that,” said Chloe, smiling.

“Do you mind if I stay here?” said Em. “Just for a little bit. Just…in case.” They couldn’t just stand by. She wanted to help (Y/N) in some way, even if it was just sitting beside them.

Chloe nodded. “I think that would be good. I have to check in at work, so having someone near with (Y/N) right now would be good for them.”

“Let us know if we can help at all,” said Noa.

“Yeah,” said Olive.

“We’re here for them, as well,” said Leon.

“I will,” said Em, smiling.

“Birdie.”

(Y/N) heard the familiar voice, and their heart ached. “What? I thought I told everyone to go away.”

“They did,” said Em. “But I can’t just leave you.”

“Whatever,” muttered (Y/N).

“I’m not letting you break down like this,” said Em resolutely. “I can’t let you just sit there alone and push everyone away.”

“Fuck off,” snapped (Y/N).

Em kicked open the door, and (Y/N) yelped, sitting up. “What the hell?!”

“I said I wasn’t letting you sit in here alone,” said Em, walking in.

“Go away!” said (Y/N), standing up and glaring. “I want to be left alone to my own misery! Is that so much to ask on my birthday?!”

Em hugged (Y/N) tightly. (Y/N) froze up and stiffened, not having expected that from Em, who was barely that affectionate.

“It’s going to be okay, Birdie,” said Em softly, holding (Y/N) tightly.

(Y/N)’s eyes widened, and they burned as tears collected. “I-I…”

“I know,” said Em. “I know.”

(Y/N) sobbed and hugged Em back as the tears began to fall. “He left me, Em. He left me…”

“It’s going to be okay,” whispered Em, guiding (Y/N) to the floor as their knees buckled and they collapsed. “I swear, it’s going to be okay.” She let (Y/N) sob into their shoulder and held them tight.

“How could he leave me?” said (Y/N), clutching onto Em’s shirt.

“I don’t know,” said Em. “But you’re going to survive.”

“…I just want him back,” whispered (Y/N).

“I know. I know.”

This wasn’t going to heal. There would always be a hole in (Y/N)’s heart without Lucifer.

But Em hoped that they’d find a way to keep going. That was what she wanted for them.

Lucifer stared at his phone, eyes empty of emotion. All he could look at was the picture displayed in front of him. (Y/N)’s face smiled out at him, and it broke Lucifer’s heart.

He’d never see that smile again. He’d never hug them again. He’d never see his kid again.

And Lucifer’s heart would never be whole because of it.

Done.

Did I end up crying my eyes out? Yes, absolutely.

Did I hate how it ends/what they did with season 6? Also yes.

Mostly because it made no fucking sense and just added unnecessary drama. Don't get me wrong, I am a sap and loved all the Deckerstar goodness but overall I just hate the time travel trope with a passion. Since always. There are so many logical issues it involves and things constantly changing simply by Rory appearing out of the blue for example. (In that context, don't get me started on free will since that was mentioned. lol)

Like cool, Lucifer did not become God which I didn't like in first place and that rubbed me wrong all through 5B. And Linda in a way making him realize that he wants to be a therapy!devil. Fine. Whatever. But one question: WHY THE FUCK COULD HE NOT COMMUTE BETWEEN EARTH AND HELL???

Listen, I might be too dumb to see or get it but the whole unnecessary drama for Deckerstar could have been avoided that way. Especially since Amenadiel, fucking GOD now!, could come and go but Chloe had to suffer? Live a life without Lucifer???? Lucifer who knew firsthand how it felt to be abandoned by his father?? Who grew so much over 5 seasons only for the writers to take his agenda from him? Make him and Chloe suffer? Let Rory suffer? Trixie? All his friends? For what exactly? Cause technically, Lucifer might have helped Rory to free her from her guilt but doesn't this add to changing the future since when she came back to her time she knows and accepts what her dad did? Like it wouldn't have come to this in the first place if she hadn't forced him??? TBF her whole showing up was as far-stretched as it comes so there's that.

So, see, this is exactly why I have a problem with this trope because it is just so damn messy and pretty much ends in it all not making sense.

Like I get that after the unexpected renewal for s6 the writers had to come up with something for s6, and again I loved the Deckerstar moments that we deserved and longed for but... at what cost??? Couldn’t they come up with something else to get Lucifer become the devil again instead of God?? And screwing him and his character growth into the trash for RIDICULOUS AND UNNECESSARY DRAMA???

Again, I am happy that Deckerstar is and always was endgame but these last decisions were simply not it imho. Also... the reunion felt underwhelming, but again... I am happy and glad that after all this mess, they did get their forever happy end.

hi! i know it's not in your fandoms but do you think you could do headcanons for regressor Lucifer Morningstar (from the netflix/fox show Lucifer)? obviously okay if you can't or don't want to of course :) Hope you have a great day/night!

hi!! it’s been a couple of years since i’ve seen the show, so I’m sorry if these are a bit lacking, but here’s what i could come up with!!

-Lucifer doesn’t really have a word for his regressing, it’s more so something that just happens

-he doesn’t talk about it. he’s the king of hell, after all, people can’t know that he likes fuzzy pajamas and children’s toys

-Amenadiel is his first caregiver. he’s always seen Lucifer as the unruly little brother, so it’s no surprise that he figures it out first

-he spends a lot of time making sure lil Lucifer doesn’t get into too much trouble

-Lucifer loves getting into trouble. big Lucifer is practically a saint compared to the menace that regressed!Lucifer is

-that’s how Chloe gets roped into being a caregiver as well

-and how Ella and Dan end up as babysitters

-Lucifer just kind of collects babysitters tbh

-Ella doesn’t really know what’s going on. she just sees Lucifer acting a bit different and decides to roll with it

-they have lots of fun together!! there’s not as much mischief as Lucifer would like, but he’s happy being babysat by her

-Dan is just the epitome of a Tired Dad™️

-that poor man

-he’s not even a full-on caregiver but he’s so tired

-(does Lucifer act up around Dan bc he thinks it’s funny? yes ofc)

-Lucifer and Trixie are best‼️ friends‼️

-they paint each others nails and make friendship bracelets and give each other glitter makeovers and play games together!!! they’re besties!!!

-Maze and Lucifer get up to so much trouble together

-while Lucifer and Trixie are cutesy best friends, Lucifer and Maze are chaos best friends

-it’s even more chaotic when Maze is also regressed

-at the end of they day they both end up sleeping for like 12 hours because they’re both so tired from running around and causing trouble

-Lucifer has a little collection of stuffies he likes to cuddle with, most of which were given to him by Chloe

(tags from @wounded-hands on my post about spn backing down from god as an abusive father. hope you don't mind me using this as a jumping off point.)

BUT YEAH! YEAH EXACTLY!

This (among other reasons) is exactly why I fully have not finished the Lucifer tv show, despite the fact that I loved the first few seasons so much. But those first few seasons were not pulling their punches about this fact! They looked you in the eye and went "Lucifer is severely fucked up because of what God did to him" and for a while, they didn't back down from that!

Whether I ever go back and watch the show again or not, I know that two scenes are always going to stick in my head forever. The scene of Chloe seeing the wing scars for the first time (we the audience know that the scars are self-inflicted (but given how he cut his wings off specifically to separate himself from God, it's still connected to his abuse) but Chloe assumes that his dad did that to him. And the way Lucifer reacts, immediately defensive and trying to get attention away from them...!!!), and the scene of Linda, prompted by Amenadiel, cornering Lucifer in a therapy session, telling him that God actually loved him. (And for me specifically, the very trans-coded subtext of that scene being that she's! She's literally deadnaming him! And he reacts Violently!!!! Before just fleeing!!!!)

Not to mention, later, the extreme distress he feels at the idea that his dad forced his wings back on him against his will, or how Chloe was literally created to fill a love interest role for him. Lucifer loses more and more autonomy as the show goes on, and it's almost like we're just meant to?? ignore that??? accept that he's not in control of what's happening to him and that his dad meddled with his life and love just because he'll be happy if he's with Chloe. (This is a horror story!!!!!!!!!!)

(His wings, if I remember correctly, turned out to be His Own Fault Actually. which. I think that was the turning point for when the show started placing the blame on Lucifer (for overreacting. for not shutting up and accepting these gifts. etc. etc.) rather than actually exploring God's role as an abusive father.)

(Sidenote here, I'm focusing on Lucifer, but this problem obviously began to affect Amenadiel, too, as the show went on. Like, he's clearly suffering under the weight of the same abuse + expectations of God in the earlier seasons, but. I'd probably have to rewatch the show to break down his part in it. Which I don't want to do. Because the show turned on me >:(. )

And then when God does show up on the show.

I can't even.

My problems with this can roughly be summed up in one scene. During that episode where God is following Lucifer around, and I can't remember exactly, they run into some people, and God starts reminiscing about the past. And he describes Lucifer's rebellion (the thing that got him thrown into Hell! the thing that has been a source of trauma for seasons! a very very serious fucking thing!) as Lucifer basically throwing a tantrum.

And this could be so good. This could be so good, if the show was using this moment to portray how God has twisted up the events, even to himself, to make all of this Lucifer's fault, to make it seem like Lucifer's trauma isn't actually that bad. But I really don't feel like that was the point of that moment. It felt like the show was siding with him. Telling us that Lucifer's issues with God weren't actually that bad. Should be forgiven and not thought of any longer.

The worst part is that this could have gotten even more interesting. Lucifer assumes the role of God and his first act as God? Cutting his brother's wings off and casting him into Hell. HE FELL INTO THE CYCLE!!!! HE DID THE THING!!!! HE BECAME HIS FATHER!!!!! but then the show just doesn't ever bring Michael up again and I guess we were supposed to cheer when Lucifer turned his vengeance on him and cast him down. (Despite us having multiple seasons before this and the whole point of the seasons after it being that punitive justice is Bad, Actually, and Lucifer shouldn't be Judge, Jury, and Executioner, for his sake and those he hurts.)

Sorry for rambling. I, uh. have a few issues with the Lucifer tv show.

(It's almost worse than Supernatural in my eyes for this reason. Supernatural's decline was slow and predictable. Lucifer veered right off a cliff into being so much worse and never recovered. It set up so many things and then backed down completely from all of them. At least Supernatural had the guts to go "Yeah, God's a dick, and we're going to beat the shit out of him", even if the weight of that had mostly gone by the time they did it.)

#yeah so. thoughts. about this show.#lucifer tv #lucifer morningstar #like to be clear? i still love the first few seasons of this show. they aren't perfect. but god i want to chew on them.#lucifer and how he reacts to things relating to his past/abuse at god's hands is soooo. soooooooo.

Trigger warning: guns

New low. Coming into work on her day off. Trixie was with Dan, Ella was sick, Maze still wasn't talking to her, Linda and Amenadiel were getting ready for the baby, and Lucifer....well, Lucifer was probably doing hosting another orgy with Eve, having sex in an aquarium with Eve, or doing a bunch of drugs with Eve. Whatever he was doing, it was with Eve and Chloe would probably hear aaaaaaaaall about it on Monday. As if she didn't torture herself enough just by thinking about it as it was.

In fact, that was actually the reason Chloe was here on her day off. Without Trixie or Dan or any of her other friends or anything else to do. She wouldn't be doing anything but thinking about Lucifer and she didn't want to do that to herself. She heard about it enough from Lucifer every time Ella asked about it. In fact, every time they talked about it, it was ALWAYS by her desk. It was almost like Lucifer wanted to rub her face to punish her.

Not that she didn't deserve it. After all, she did try to poison him and send him back to hell. She still hated herself for that. Any chance she had with him was gone after that. So, the punishment fit the crime. Not only did she screw up her chance with him, but she had to hear all about how happy he was with his new girlfriend. But, even if she didn't betray him. It probably wouldn't have worked out. Not because he was the actual Devil. That didn't matter. At least not now.

The reason it would have worked between her and Lucifer because he had the life he wanted with Eve. He wanted to party all the time and not be tied down by monogamy. But, that kind of life didn't appeal to Chloe. She preferred quiet nights at home and she didn't like sharing her romantic partners. She was boring. Lucifer said so himself. He was a top hat. She was a shoe. She didn't understand why he still wanted to be partners with her. Why he even bothered coming into work at all. He only came in for two or three hours and then Eve would blow up his phone and he'd go running home to her. But, as much as she didn't want to admit it, she preferred this over never seeing him again.

Who was Chloe kidding? She wouldn't be able to focus on actual work. She needed a different outlet. Instead of sitting at her desk, she grabbed two extra magazines, walked across the bullpen to the elevator and went down a level to the shooting gallery. Chloe never really did this anymore unless she felt like she needed the practice. She didn't want this to be her go-to every time she got upset, however, she needed it right now. She stepped into her booth, put her glasses and noise-cancelling headphones and open fired on the target at the other end of the room pretending it was Father Kinley for manipulating her, Lucifer for being way too open about his girlfriend and always leaving, Ella for encouraging Lucifer to talk about all the crazy sex he was having with said girlfriend, and Eve for being that girlfriend. After ten minutes, Chloe put the gun down and decided to take a beat, but that's when she heard someone else walk into her booth. She whirled around prepared to shoot the intruder until she saw who it was. "What are you doing here? You know you're not supposed to be here."

Losing my religion - Hail Holy Queen

@sorisooyaa I had sworn that none of this would ever see the light of day, but as a payment for your beautiful talent and excellent work...Here is the first chapter of the abomination.

Words: 1,5k

Characters: Lucifer, Michael, Shirel, Emmanuelle

Warnings: blasphemy, reference to sexual assault

“Lucifer,” Chloe had said, her eyes full of pity, the last time he had managed to see her without upsetting the whole plan they had previously agreed upon, “don’t you think it’s time to let him out?”

“I do not think so. Who knows what terrible plans he’s going to set in motion this time?”

Now, as he repeated his doubts to his most loathed prisoner, Lucifer was still not convinced that his beloved had not woefully underestimated the resentment undying beings could harbour.

Michael sneered at his twin in disgust. “Not up for a deal, brother? Do you really enjoy my being here so much?”

Lucifer’s eyes took on a wicked gleam; this certainly had gotten his attention. “All right! If anyone was to miss you—really miss you—and call on you, you may go. Under my supervision, of course!”

This seemed like a fair condition to him, and he would get to spend some time on earth once more, maybe even getting a moment to pop in on Chloe without letting their daughter see him.

A frustrated bellow interrupted his musings rather unceremoniously though and he frowned in annoyance.

“You can say that,” Michael grunted, “you, whose gift has been delivered—even now she’s alive and loving you, smug as ever—only because Amenadiel was apparently the better messenger, not even because you deserved it.”

The thought of Chloe’s staying hand on his chest thankfully prevented a highly unproductive brawl before it could even break out; Lucifer had sworn to her that he would try his best to come to an agreement with his brother and he would not be side-tracked by their shared tendency to sabotage their best opportunities at finding even a quantum of happiness.

“Maybe,” Lucifer drawled with a sharp smile, “if you hadn’t lost track of yours, you’d be sure that someone was praying for and to you, don’t you think? And that, brother mine, is a state of things entirely of your own doing.”

“Shir!”

Emmanuelle strode towards her oldest friends—hands outstretched pleadingly—through the brightly lit gallery; she had not been sure whether Shirel would even come here.

“What is this about? The wing for religious art, really Manu?” that self-same friend whispered as if afraid to raise her voice to an audible level in the presence of ideas she had renounced a long time ago. She had been particularly unafraid as a child—confident in her faith—but since then, many things had changed and Shirel was but a shadow of her former self nowadays.

Shrugging, Emmanuelle clasped Shirel’s hands to keep her from retreating—they were cold and stiff, and, for a moment, her own conviction faltered.

“I need your help, Shir,” she said. “We got a new painting in, and…I don’t know what to make of it. All I do know is—that it’s insane.”

Her gaze flew over the petrified features of a woman she had known all her life; once upon a time—long before she had accepted this job at the old Museum—she and Shirel had spent blissful afternoons here, staring at the antique paintings in wordless awe.

“Do you remember how we used to…” Emmanuelle’s fingers moved gracefully through the air and—despite her self-imposed years of silence—Shirel could hear the song her friend played on an invisible piano in her mind.

“That is a long time ago, Manu.”

“Nonetheless, Shir, you…you are the only one I trust with this. You won’t think I am crazy.” Emmanuelle pleaded, tugging her friend forward under the benevolent eyes of the Holy Virgin, smiling indulgently down at their struggle from every other canvas.

“Manu!” Shirel groaned, digging her heels into the worn wooden floor. “Manu, stop. Please, let’s not go back there—I’ve left all of this behind, you know?”

Then, in a softer voice, she added, “It was fake after all. Heaven and Hell are empty—and there is no such thing as angels!”

Desperate, Emmanuelle stooped to a level she had sworn not to fall to; she hummed the first few bars of an old hymn they both knew well.

The weary, pained gaze in Shirel’s hazel eyes made her flinch, but she didn’t desist.

As young girls—in another life—they’d stay hidden away in this wing until it was almost closing time; the old building had marvellous acoustics and they’d always have enough time for one resounding song before rushing down the stairs, out of breath with laughter, to make it to the last bus taking them home in time.

Back then, Emmanuelle had believed that their whole life would be like that; she was still convinced that the paintings glowed whenever Shirel’s voice—silver bells and sweet honey—caressed their worn vellum. Yes, even now, Emmanuelle had faith in Shirel’s destiny, even if she herself had decided to turn away from it.

Compelled by the ancient memories and the hopeful smile of her friend, Shirel capitulated and joined in the song—feeling her voice soar on invisible wings made her heart feel all the heavier, but she pushed through and simply closed her eyes.

“You’ve still got it,” Emmanuelle whispered in an awed voice as the last notes faded out; all around her, the faces of the Saviour’s mother glowed as if lit from within and a surge of a happiness she had almost forgotten prickled in her fingertips.

“Don’t start, Manu,” Shirel pleaded under her breath, prying one eye open and sighing deeply. “My mother was—disturbed. She’s not really heard an angel announcing the imminent conception of a girl-child to her; life is not some weird biblical musical!”

“I am so sorry that you truly stopped believing in the miracle of your conception.”

“There was no miracle, please believe me!” Shirel put a shielding hand over her burning eyes. “Mum…she was a lonely woman—God knows she has only tried to make herself feel better for having a child of wedlock.”

“Shir, your parents ended up getting married and your voice is a miracle, no matter what you say…”

Shirel’s face hardened into a mask of pain and rejection. “My voice is nothing special…”

Emmanuelle wanted to protest, but she didn’t dare; for years, they had sung in churches and museums, and they had been so convinced that this was their calling and their destiny—people from far and wide had come to listen to Shirel sing the praise of the Lord.

And then, just like that—everything had changed.

A dark alley, a secluded spot…when they had found Shirel, her voice had been hoarse with screaming and crying for help. Nobody had heard. Nobody had come.

On that fateful night, as she opened her eyes in a sterile hospital bed, Shirel had decided to abnegate her faith and—what was worse—to silence that precious song of hers. Nowadays, she worked in a home for deaf students where nobody knew or missed that voice that had betrayed her so.

“Let me show you the painting,” Emmanuelle said, changing the subject. “You might recognise him.”

She led her friend by the hand to a narrow door, almost invisible in the dark panelling of the wall. “Here.”

As soon as Shirel’s eyes had adjusted to the low light after the brightly lit gallery, she gasped.

“As if,” she scoffed, breathing more freely now that she was beyond the searching gaze of the Mother Mary. “I see we’ve moved past the many eyes and arms and wings.”

“So, you do recognise him?” Emmanuelle asked—full of faith and hope once more—as she gestured towards the oddly compelling painting depicting two men standing on either side of a flaming sword.

“These are actually two…” Shirel cut herself off. “You know what? Never mind. There is no way either one of them looks like that! They’re not real, so what does it matter?”

“You once thought they were,” Emmanuelle said almost accusingly. “And there is something so strange about this piece of art—don’t you feel that?”

Shirel did feel it, but she refused to be dragged back into a delusion that had broken more than just her heart. “Manu, the angels I told you about…those were imaginary friends—maybe, I am not so unlike my poor, disoriented mother after all. All those stories? Puerile fantasy—I am so sorry, but it was never…”

She shrugged dismissively.

“Look me in the eye,” Emmanuelle demanded stubbornly, “and tell me that you don’t know who that is!”

Shirel had done many things in her life that she was not proud of, but she was not about to betray her friend in such an unforgivable way.

“My heart and mind are now closed to such revelations,” she mumbled instead, evading the question, “and whatever I might think is just the intuition of a broken soul.”

“Have you ever seen him—them—before?”

“Well yes,” Shirel chuckled mirthlessly. “They’re the reason heaven and hell have felt empty to me.”

So, there it is :)

Thank you for your creativity, my beloved baby :D

time for Lone star 4x01!

spoilers under the cut!

(some episode thoughts that got too long lmao)

aww I missed them so much

I agree with Paul, olives do ruin everything (like, fr, every single time there are olives I try one as if suddenly they tasted better, and every single time I wanna throw up lmao)

they're looking for wedding venues aaa I can't wait haha

not to be that bitch, but... oh my god Rob Lowe looks so good, the hair looks fantastic (like oh my god his hair 😍), and on a motorcycle?? wow, Owen has never been so hot 🥵

loving Carlos hanging out with his mama, and tbh this season all I want is to learn more about Carlos and his life outside of TK and the 126 (like, I've been wondering since at least s2 - does he have any friends outside of the 126, or Michelle in s1? like, does he hang out with his work colleagues, anyone else? what did he do before everyone moved there, aside from hanging with Michelle?? 😂 give me something 😂)

and here's Carlos!! the man I've been dying to see a whole 6 minutes since the episode started lol they could give him every single second of screen time and I'd be loving it tbh

tell TK what?? I'm so nervous lol but it can't be that bad if Andrea knows and isn't freaking out right? 😂

GRACE!!!! 😍 😍 😍 I got so excited when I saw her I heard and saw her I had to pause lmao - I missed her so much 😍

raining frogs... what the fuck is happening 😂

what in the apocalypse is this episode 😂

Carlos being married to Iris... I guess it might be an interesting storyline? not sure I like it though, and it doesn't make much sense in the context of s1, at least as far as I can remember 😂 (it kinda feels like they wanted drama for the sake of drama but weren't sure what to do with tarlos bc they can't break them up again, so they were like, fuck it, it doesn't have to make any sense) but whatever, let's look past this 😂

the frog in the throat is making me so uncomfortable I can't 😩🤢

well, I guess I'm happy that TK isn't mad or anything 😂 still, this came out of nowhere and it kinda doesn't fit to what we know - then again, we don't know much about Carlos🤷🏻‍♀️

that dude in the porta potty had some serious bad luck lmao on top of everything to land squarely in the tank of water lol

pls tell me that this season continues s3's Owen being just hilarious 😂 because I really enjoyed him last season, and I can't stop laughing at him now 😂 (also, he just looks so good? I'm sure it's the hair, something's changed idk 😂)

Carlos in that shirt with the necklace hanging out - oh my good he looks hot 🥵 that color looks so good on him fr 🥵🥵🔥

am i sensing something brewing between Tommy and Amenadiel from Lucifer? 👀😂 does that mean he's gonna stay? I kinda figured he wouldn't be a one off character when I recognized him tbh 😂

Iris looks so familiar and I'm not sure if I've seen this actress before or if she just looks similar to someone

not sure how I feel about her character yet, imma need more time to get to know her

what the fuck has Owen gotten himself into 😂 jfc that was..... lmao

so Catherine's gone? 😭 nooo, I love Amy Acker, I hoped she'd be back 😭

FBI?? now that's interesting - and where do I know this chick from??

sooooo, was that 1 tarlos scene supposed to be the "new fan favorite" like Ronen said? I'm kinda underwhelmed ngl😂

It was a great first episode, the calls really were something, and the personal drama is delicious though also confusing, I'm still not sure if I like the whole Iris storyline (not bc of tarlos, obvi, just in general it doesn't seem.... good? idk, maybe they hyped up the secret too much or smth but it's kinda meh - I've been waiting for more Carlos and his backstory since s1 so I'm kinda disappointed rn) can't wait for the wedding tho!

I hope Tommy will actually find love and happiness, and I wonder how this whole pastor thing will unfold

the most intriguing thing is probably Owen's thing right now and so far I'm not even mad 😂

well, those are my thoughts as I was watching, can't wait for the next one!

You Can Only Ignore It For So Long Apparently

by ADyslexicQueer

It’s been way more then 6000 years since the fall of the rebellion, over 6000 years since Crowley had to face his past, and just a couple years since he saw Lucifer last. He hoped it would have been the last he would ever have see of him. But when someone comes for his spawn, he’ll have to bite the sour apple, and watch the world he build up of white lies slowly crumble.

i’m still not sure if i like the lucifer ending or not

like i know why it happened the way it happened but i don’t know if i LIKE it. and it’s because the whole time i just loved the show for the moments they were all together. i loved it when all of them were working together and having fun together but it’s not how it ends at all. it ends with all of them separated…. happy, but away from each other.

lucifer leaves chloe and goes down to hell to follow his ‘calling’ of helping lost souls resolve their guilt. chloe is left to raise rory alone (by rory’s own wish tho for whatever reason) and still work in the lapd, dan finally makes it to heaven and is with charlotte which did make me cry when they got to kiss but i’m still so sad that they killed dan and never let him see trixie again in his real body one last time, and i forgot what happens to ella but i think she and carol are doing good and he’s treating her right as she deserves. but when it all really ends, they’re still not together.

i’m glad that lucifer and chloe finally see each other again in the end but it’s only after chloe dies of old age. that doesn’t sit right with me still i hate how that’s how they manage to see him again i hate it so much

i just was really hoping for an end where we see everything carry on as normal in the precinct. lucifer and chloe are about to go solve another case, dan is alive and is going through his own dan things, ella is herself and excitedly going through forensic science things with the team (which now has the addition of amenadiel) and things are just… normal. i wanted to see them all be happy and do the thing they do best without worrying about celestial problems or shit like that

but i’ll take the ending we got i suppose, i guess im just resistant to change and whatever but it just really made me sad that none of them were all together in the end. they just showed a montage of how things went after lucifer left and leaving off on when chloe dies and sees lucifer for the first time in like 60 years and they kiss and we get our final deckerstar moment but MAN. I JUST WANTED TO SEE THEM ALL HAPPY TOGETHER. WHY COULDNT THEY ALL BE TOGETHER IM GOING TO CRY AGAIn

So, I'm currently watching Suits and I just hit season 4 and I'm totally delighted to see that D.B. Woodside is part of the cast. Liked him in BtVS, loved him in Lucifer as Amenadiel and I'm real happy he's in Suits too. Also, darn, that man looks great in a suit! He's got great chemistry with Gina Torres, though I loved the dynamic between him as Amenadiel and Linda too.

Adolescent Antichrist (Book 5) Chapter Nine

Father Figure! Lucifer x Teen! Reader

Demon! OC x Teen! Reader

Summary: (Y/N) decides to step in (as usual) and help Chloe and Lucifer. Then, they go out with their friends.

(Y/N), Chloe, and Amenadiel walked in the LAPD office with Mother Angelica, who was escorted by two other officers.

“(Y/N)?” said Lucifer, blinking in surprise as he saw (Y/N).

“Oh, hey, Dad,” said (Y/N). “Chloe gave me a ride here.”

“They were very helpful in the case,” said Chloe, nodding.

“Of course they were. Detective work runs in the family,” said Lucifer proudly.

(Y/N) rolled their eyes but smiled. “I think it was more like the nuns really liked me?”

Amenadiel nodded. “They like angels.”

“Again, I’m just kind of Celestial,” said (Y/N), shrugging.

“I must admit, I’m a little confused about this. Nuns?” repeated Lucifer.

“They thought (Y/N) was the best person they’d ever met,” said Chloe. “They got the sisters to tell them a secret they’d been hiding for Mother Angelica.”

“Huh,” said Lucifer, looking at (Y/N) in surprise.

Again, they shrugged. They still didn’t feel…good? Kind? Holy? Divine?-enough to be an angel, but the nuns had liked them, so they supposed something was Celestial about them.

“I’m just happy to help catch killers,” said (Y/N). “I don’t like murder.”

“Profound,” said Chloe. “But I’d prefer if Amenadiel took over, now. He’s an…angel, so they will like him, too.”

“What about me?” huffed Lucifer. He was more than fine with (Y/N) being praised, but putting Amenadiel above him? By Chloe no less? Absolutely not.

“Lucifer, you met a priest, and he didn’t react like that to you,” said Chloe, crossing her arms.

“…Fine,” conceded Lucifer.

“Can’t I stay? I was kind of having fun,” said (Y/N) eagerly.

“You can stay in the building, but that’s only because I know you’ll ignore me and do it anyways if I don’t just say yes,” said Chloe. She had an admonishing but motherly tone, and (Y/N) shrugged at the truth of her statement. “But I don’t want you near a murder suspect. Amenadiel is an adult and can decide to put himself at risk. Ethically, I wouldn’t feel right doing that with you.”

“I fought an angel,” grumbled (Y/N). “I can handle a human.”

“But you shouldn’t have to,” said Chloe and Lucifer at the same time. Surprised, they glanced at one another.

Amenadiel looked between the pair. It was clear that despite the slight fight going on, they still cared about each other, and the transition into the parenting dynamic towards (Y/N) was still going on.

“Fine, fine,” said (Y/N). They sat down at Chloe’s desk. “But I’m staying because I still want to talk to you.” It was their turn to have stern tone.

“Me?” said Chloe.

“You,” said (Y/N), crossing their arms. “Because I get to handle all of your bickering.”

Chloe and Lucifer looked away from one another, and Amenadiel nearly chuckled at the way (Y/N) rolled their eyes.

“Go and get the confession so we can talk,” said (Y/N), shooing Amenadiel and Chloe towards the interrogation room.

“I do have a job to do,” said Chloe, eager to escape the intensity of (Y/N)’s gaze.

She had seen (Y/N) handle problems (and heard of incidents with them “handling” people like Michael), so they knew they were going to talk about the “gift from God” issue, and that made her nervous. She needed an excuse to get away.

“I’ll assist,” said Amenadiel, following her.

“What are you going to speak the Detective about?” asked Lucifer, confused.

“You get to stay on Earth, so you two shouldn’t be fighting,” said (Y/N), folding their arms. “This whole ‘gift from God’ mess is just people not communicating again, so I’m gonna force it to work out.”

“…I believe Dr. Linda would argue that forcing things to work out isn’t the best course of action,” said Lucifer. (Y/N) narrowed their eyes at him, and he cleared his throat. “But I am…honored that you’re willing to help me.”

That was the truth. Lucifer wasn’t sure what to say to Chloe, and he suspected any explanation he tried to give would just upset Chloe. But (Y/N)…they seemed to understand people. Yes, they could be abrasive, but they were a natural mediator. They were willing to say and do what was needed.

And Lucifer couldn’t be prouder of them for it. That was his kid. He loved them.

Unfortunately, that first day, Chloe didn’t have time to talk after her interview. She and Amenadiel had to follow more leads to try to figure out the case. Lucifer, still sullen his brother had been chosen for the case, returned home, and (Y/N) followed because sleep was important. (And Chloe got to escape her own interrogation).

However, (Y/N) was stubborn as much as Lucifer was and could wait as long as it took Chloe to finish her case to speak to her. So when (Y/N) learned on the news that the culprit had been caught and arrested, (Y/N) instantly headed back to the LAPD. Chloe wasn’t avoiding this. (Y/N) wanted her and their Dad to make.

“Chloe?” said (Y/N) as they entered the LAPD office.

“Oh, (Y/N). I wasn’t expecting you,” said Chloe, looking up from her paperwork.

“I said I wanted to talk, and I was serious,” said (Y/N).

“I have—”

“—I waited for you to catch the perpetrator, but paper work can wait. You and my dad’s relationship can’t,” said (Y/N). They took a deep breath and spoke more softly. “Please. Just give me a chance to try to explain what I think about this.”

Chloe bit her lip. She was still upset about being a gift from God, but (Y/N)…they looked so sincere, so vulnerable. She nodded. “Let’s go somewhere private.”

In the quiet office, (Y/N) and Chloe walked to an interrogation room.

“Alright,” said (Y/N), sitting down across from her. “How are you feeling?”

“…It’s all a lot,” said Chloe. “It has been since I learned Lucifer really is the Devil.” She sighed. “It seems adults don’t take it well, no matter how much we try.”

(Y/N) nodded and shrugged. “It’s a lot. I get that. That’s okay. But, Chloe, you learned how to deal with Lucifer’s identity because you realized he’s still him, right?”

“I did,” said Chloe. “And I’m very sorry for doubting that.”

“He knows,” said (Y/N), smiling. “But now you’re not sure about the ‘gift from God’ idea.”

Chloe looked down. “I just…how am I supposed to feel about how I…feel about him with all of that affecting how I see him?”

“I don’t think it is,” said (Y/N) plainly.

Chloe raised her eye and frowned. “What?”

“The nuns liked Amenadiel, right?” said (Y/N).

“Yeah. Because he’s an angel,” said Chloe. “Like you.”

“I’m not—Whatever,” said (Y/N), rolling their eyes. “The point is, everyone is thinking they like Amenadiel because of who he is, not because he’s just likable.”

“Yeah,” said Chloe.

“Which makes sense because he’s divine. He’s an example of what they have faith in, so they feel their faith in him. They see a reflection of their feelings and beliefs,” said (Y/N).

“Right….” said Chloe slowly, confused about where (Y/N) was going.

“Haven’t you realized that it’s the same with Dad?” asked (Y/N). “People are drawn to him because he represents their deepest desires. They see their own feelings in him, and that’s why he can charm so many people.”

“Yeah, and that’s the problem,” said Chloe. “I don’t…I don’t want that to be why I care about him.”

(Y/N) resisted the urge to roll their eyes. Why did God make adults idiots? “Chloe, why do you like my dad?”

“He’s hard working. He tries to do the right thing, even when he gets it wrong. He gives people second chances. Lucifer’s nicer than people give him credit for. He’s sarcastic, but he��s loyal,” said Chloe.

“Does any of that have to do with what you desire outside of what anyone would want in a friend or partner?” asked (Y/N).

“No…” said Chloe slowly.

“Do you see him as your desires?” said (Y/N).

“I mean, no. His abilities don’t work on me,” said Chloe. “But that’s because I’m a gift from God.”

“Chloe,” said (Y/N), leaning forward. “You are the only mortal who sees my dad for who he is.”

“You—”

“I saw him as a possible family when I first met him,” said (Y/N), shaking their head. “I became immune to his abilities when we started to actually connect as family and I became more Celestial. You are the only person who could just see him from the beginning.”

“But I’m still a gift—”

“The gift is your ability to see him,” said (Y/N). “Because the only thing God changed about you was your immunity to my dad’s abilities.”

Chloe’s eyes widened. “So that means…everything else was just…me?”

Took her long enough. Adults. (Y/N) smiled. “I think so. You and my Dad have a more legitimate relationship based on actual feelings than he could ever have with another mortal. Even Eve just saw freedom, her own desire, in him. You just see Lucifer.”

“Our relationship is real,” said Chloe, a smile appearing on her face as her heartbeat quickened. “And his vulnerability…”

“Is because he feels vulnerable with you because you see him,” said (Y/N).

“What about his invulnerability around you?” said Chloe, worried there was a flaw in (Y/N)’s thinking.

“He’s my dad. He wants to protect me,” said (Y/N), shrugging. “That means he remains unable to be hurt. So he can protect me.”

Chloe nearly laughed. It all made sense. A large weight lifted from her shoulders.

“So, do you think you guys can actually talks things out now?” asked (Y/N), more hesitant now. Logic they could do, but they weren’t sure about how Chloe still felt.

“I think so,” said Chloe, smiling. “Thank you, (Y/N). I’m going to talk to him now.”

“Good for you guys,” said (Y/N). “I’ll be out with my friends tonight, anyways.” They stood and headed towards the door. “Bye, Chloe. If my Dad acts stupid, just slap some sense into him.”

“(Y/N),” said Chloe, and (Y/N) paused and looked back. “I know you don’t believe it, but I think Amenadiel and Lucifer are right. You’re an angel.”

“I’m just trying to help out,” said (Y/N).

“Exactly,” said Chloe, smiling.

(Y/N) blinked, turned away, and walked out of the LAPD office. Outside, their friends were waiting in the car.

“What’s that look on your face for, Birdie? Did the discussion not go well?” said Em as (Y/N) entered.

“No, it went well,” said (Y/N), frowning. “I just got called an angel a bunch.”

“Aren’t you technically one?” said Olive.

“Technically they’d be the antichrist, correct?” said Leon.

“I don’t know,” said (Y/N) evasively.

“I think you’re an angel. An actual one, unlike Michael or Uriel,” said Em.

“What does that mean?” asked Noa.

“(Y/N) is an actually good person who tries to make the world a better place. That’s what an angel should do. Hell, that’s what God and the Divine are supposed to be,” said Em.

“Huh, I hadn’t thought of that, but (Y/N) does act like that,” said Marcel. “Even if they are rough around the edges.”

(Y/N) rolled their eyes. “I’m just me.”

“Birdie, that’s exactly my point,” said Em, smirking.

“If you try to change my nickname to ‘angel,’ I’m throwing you out the car,” said (Y/N).

“I take it back, you’re a demon.”

Laughter went up in the car, and (Y/N) was happy to push all the thoughts out of their head. They knew who they were. They didn’t care about being anything more than themself. Why should they? They were just a teenager. That was hard enough.

(Y/N) sat in car next to Em. At the other window sat Noa, leaning over Olive’s shoulder as she drove. Leon sat in the front seat with Marcel on their lap. (Six people + five seat car = illegal sitting).

“So, shopping trip?” said Noa.

“Yep! I want to buy some new dresses for summer,” said Olive. She grinned. “I love sundresses.”

“Can we go to the bookstore?” asked Leon.

“Duh, of course,” said Olive.

“I want to walk through TJ Maxx or HomeGoods!” chirped Marcel.

“I love those places. It has everything,” said Noa.

“You do not need more mugs,” teased Em.

“There are new Hello Kitty themed mugs. I need those,” said Noa.

“Sure you do,” said (Y/N) with a laugh, rolling their eyes.

“Well what do you want to buy? More fabric as always?” said Noa playfully. They knew (Y/N)’s habits well.

“You can never have enough,” said (Y/N) primly. “But for your information, I just want to get some clothes for summer like Olive. No idea what, though.”

“I’ll go looking with you,” said Em.

“We can split up after the bookstore to find what we need, then,” said Olive. “Noa, want to come with me? We already know Marcel and Leon are going to be a couple and go around the mall together.”

“You’re just jealous,” said Marcel. Leon smiled.

“Oh, yeah, jealous that you two are the ones who have share a seat with someone,” said Noa, rolling their eyes with a laugh as they pulled into the mall.

“I’m fine not being cramped,” laughed (Y/N).

“I don’t mind,” said Leon, hugging Marcel from behind, and Marcel blushed.

Em snickered.

“Alright, has everyone who bought books paid?” said (Y/N), checking on the group as they stepped outside of the bookstore.

Leon, Em, and Noa nodded and held up their bags.

“Okay, then I’m going to go browse stores with Em. We’ll catch up with you guys in…two hours?” suggested (Y/N).

“We’ll text if we want to meet up earlier,” said Olive, grabbing Noa by the hand and dragging them away.

“Have fun,” said Marcel.

“We’ll see you later,” said Leon.

Soon enough, it was just (Y/N) and Em walking side-by-side through the mall.

“So, what type of clothes do we want to find?” asked Em.

“I need some new shirts and shorts,” said (Y/N). “And I don’t have the time to make everything from scratch right now, so if I can find some good pieces, that’ll be enough. I can adjust them if needed.”

Em nodded in understanding. “I’m looking for a couple tops and skirts. Let’s just see what different stores have to offer.”

They wandered into the first store they found and began looking through what was on sale (clearance first. Always).

“So, do you think Chloe and Lucifer are finally going to get together?” asked Em as they went.

“I mean, I’d be happy for them, but I don’t like to think about my dad dating.” (Y/N) made a face. “Ew.”

“I’ve been here long enough to know that humans date and it’s normal,” teased Em.

“Yeah, but that’s my dad,” said (Y/N).

“How do you think he feels about the idea of you dating?” said Em.

“Someone would have to ask me out for that to even be a possible situation,” said (Y/N), rolling their eyes. “And until my life calms down a bit again, I don’t know how good I’d be for someone else.”

“I’m sure someone who really cared about you would understand,” said Em.

(Y/N) smiled. “I hope so.”

I don't have the energy to write about this very deeply (probably because I've written well over 100k of fanfic in the last 6 months), but I don't understand the criticism that the series finale undid all of Lucifer's character growth. I understand not being happy about the time loop and that Lucifer didn't get to stay on Earth to be with Chloe and their daughter. It makes total sense to me if you want to be angry about that. But I don't understand how that decision regresses Lucifer's character????

The show clearly wanted a neatly tied up ending with no loose ends and that's what they got with the time loop. The show also has revolved around parallels since the very first episode -- both in the visuals and in the plots/character arcs. A time loop where Lucifer "abandons" his daughter the way God abandoned him fits that structure perfectly. So, it makes sense why the writers went with the time loop. Is it what I would've done? No. I think with Amenadiel already changing what it means to be God and what an angel's role on Earth is, breaking the time loop would've fit right into that and it still would've been thematically cohesive. But literally everything in this show is so far out of my wheelhouse as a writer so who the fuck am I to tell the show what they should've done differently?

And also it does feel a little off balance if you break the time loop so Lucifer stays on Earth but Dan is still dead. So, Trixie has to lose her dad the way Chloe lost hers but Rory and Lucifer get a happy ending? No. If you're choosing the breaking cycles theme, then you gotta break all the cycles. For Lucifer to stay, Dan has to live. But the show already killed off Dan... do you see the problem?

Now, back to my original point about Lucifer's character arc -- I don't see how any possible ending is out of character??? Breaking the time loop, upholding the time loop, like what's the difference in regards to Lucifer's character arc? Is it that he's returning to Hell? But it's by his choice this time. How is that a regression? Is it that he's agreeing to do what his daughter asked of him when he's always been the rebellious/independent one? Well, first of all, it's his daughter asking and not his father. That's a big fucking difference. And second of all, putting his desires aside for someone else's is character growth???? And actually the whole point of his character arc through every season of the show?? Now, if you want to call it a negative character arc because you think he's worse off now than he was at the start of the show, fine. But it's not a backslide for his character in any way, because he never would've made that choice at any previous point in the show. It's definitely forward growth, and it's up to the viewer's interpretation to decide if that growth is negative or positive (personally I see it as positive).

IDK maybe I'm missing something. I fully admit I've only watched the entire series once all the way through, though I'm (slowly) working on a second full rewatch now. But complaints that the series finale "regressed" Lucifer's character feels to me like looking for a way to blame the writers for why you didn't like the ending. Fun fact: There doesn't actually have to be anything wrong with the writing for you to not like it. You can simply just not like it! It disappointed you. It wasn't what you were hoping for. It hit all your pet peeves. -- Literally, you can hate it for any reason at all, but I do not understand trying to justify that disappointment by claiming it undid all of Lucifer's character growth. I just don't think the text supports that claim.

#Lucifer TV #Lucifer Morningstar #Lucifer #my meta #look someone liked one of my posts earlier and then I was scrolling through their other likes to see who they were #and they were on a big Lucifer post liking spree and I saw some old post from last year that claimed the finale regressed his character #and that wasn't actually the first time I've seen that complaint so it got my brain whirling again #and here we are #instead of writing the 800 words I'm supposed to be writing on my fic :P #oops
