Short little piece I jotted down in my phone notes thinking about our favorite angsty Devil. I'm trying to get back into writing, and these little pieces I write help.

cw: Language

~~~

That fucking name.

That name given to him by his father, that wretched horrible word that encompassed everything he was before the rebellion. The best of the best, the favorite, the smartest and wisest and most powerful of all angels. Second only to God himself. A name as dead to him as that perfect child he had strived to be.

When Amenadiel had called him by it, he became enraged. How dare his older brother try to invoke that past, that desire to be good and do their best. "Do not call me that! "

When the Doctor, Linda, had said it, it filled him with disgust and self loathing. How could she know? She has no idea what she is invoking. The name that connotated his father's love? Fucking ridiculous. "I don't go by that name anymore."

When Michael had called him that, he could have ripped his twin's throat out right there. I may not be that obedient child anymore that you mock with your names, but I am still better than you, in all ways, and you dare not push me far enough to test that.

When his father called him by his old name, he was furious. He was not that angel anymore, and it was ENTIRELY His fault. He was the one that cast him from Heaven, He had been the one to turn him into a devil, and He had the gall to call him by his angel name?

When she said it, his heart broke. She was calling out to the fallen, broken child that had been cast aside, the softness and the goodness that she insisted she could see within him. The broken pieces that were no longer there, but she made him want to believe they were. The pieces that the Detective sought out and hunted for in his words and his actions. The pieces she took into her hands when she cradled his face and looked straight into his soul. The pieces she gently tried to fit back together, as futile as that was, when she held him. That name broke his heart over and over on her lips, because he wanted so desperately to be that good, heavenly angel for her, because Chloe deserved that, and he couldn't give that to her.

Lucifer could never be the Samael she deserved.

linda as a therapist for literally everyone in the show is pretty flawed. yes, she can give perspective on supernatural matters but even her friends outside of the know (ella) go to her when they need the advice of a therapist. feel free to correct me on this but with my vague memory I at least know its highly unprofessional to take on a patient (fully booked and everything I presume) who you know personally or even just, has a impression in your life. as this can very much effect how you treat them and the help you give to them even if you don't mean it too.

lucifer being linda's paitent was obviously highly unethical at the start but eventually they develop into a more professional-friend kind. where still, it is unethical as eventually linda DOES fall into a relationship with lucifer's brother. who was an antagonist of sorts during at least season 1's sessions.

at some point i'd think between seasons 2-3 she starts writing the book about lucifer's therapy sessions and his life, given the book was on its completed first draft and we are shown it at least half way through at some point. and, if you dont know, writing a whole book (especially as long as linda's) takes a LONG time.

meaning, at any point in that time linda could've stepped back and thought: 'this is highly unethical and maybe I should at least get the permission of everyone who im using their private therapy sessions.' its a very simple yet, it couldve changed the whole direction of the book from being the simplified cliches of everyone to more realistic versions of the people.

linda takes advantage of lucifer while doing this, really, as when lucifer finds out about this book, he is thrilled. he is excited because it will be the first book to ever have an accurate representation of him.

And I think later, when everyone reads the book and finds out the contents are a really bad fanfiction of their lives, Lucifer is a bit disappointed. I mean, its supposed to be the first book to portray him in a light most accurate to him, and the book doesn't even end up doing that!

I also want to add that everyone gets mad at lucifer because of their portrayals in the book. When, in fact, they should've at least placed part of the blame on linda, the person who wrote the book. instead of taking literally every word of it to heart. (this post goes into it in more detail!)

Lucifer is, at times (a lot of the time), an unreliable narrator. Because he is made to always tell the truth, something that could be world-ending for Earth might not be important at all to him because x reason etc etc.

(example: the whole mira/rory thing - it didn't occur to him to mention to chloe that this supposed child of him is half angel because that genuinely wasnt important to him and didn't seem relevant to the occasion. chloe then gets pissy at him for this so the more you know)

I'm gonna say something that's pretty obvious but needs to be said: linda is not the group's therapist. of course, she is lucifer's highly unethical therapist. but she is not everyone elses. no one else is shown to have regular one on one sessions with her. apart from maybe ella & maze a couple times and the others are super rare.

her knowing and giving this guidance to her friends is really that. an act of their friendship that they trusted her to give good advice on how to deal with their obviously very stressful and traumatic lives.

then for her to turn around and write it into a book (probably turned book series given how long its said to be) which will be accessed but not only the general public, but also people outside of the know that close to them. like chloe's mother, ella's family, dan's parents etc etc.

that is a horrible thing. even if their families don't read the book, other people will.

imagine ella's distant cousin reads the books after it becomes popular for some reason, connects the dots. then suddenly ella's family are asking if she really had a serial killer for a boyfriend and can imagine the way a person dies perfectly from just seeing the scene and and and

dan is also very dead. at least legally dead. will dan's parents be contacted before the publishing of the book to ask for permission? probably not.

- (it would be funny to think if this is the downfall of the book. dan's parents suing this random stranger who claims to be their dead son's therapist for writing him in a book that hugely slanders and makes fun of him)

this will also affect their professional lives. all of sudden everyone they ever meet will have readily accessible detailed accounts of their lives for the past 5 years, their traumas, their ambitions everything about them at the fingertips of coworkers, employers, bosses, whatever.

even just a snippet of the book (it will most likely gain popularity with lucifer's reputation + the fact more that 50% of the cast for it will be cops) would be very insightful towards the point of view and personal information of everyone involved.

its a breach of privacy, a betrayal of trust and a destroyer to any lives the main cast could possibly lead after the publication. the storyline and concept sucks.

I'm sorry but my brain is stuck on this concept so you get to suffer with me.

Dr. Linda from Lucifer (Netflix), after giving birth to a half a nephilim gets stuck in the time period when Lestat Louise and Claudia are living. Maybe at the end when things are starting to get worse and worse and suddenly there is this woman who just pops up, and having nothing better to do starts doing therapy.

Anyway the vamp family somehow hears about her and decide to try it because if nothing else it would be funny.

Except Dr Linda has too much experience dealing with stubborn immortals and it shows. And at the start this is just a ruse, a little laugh, hell maybe a family hunt to try and salvage their relationship that's falling apart. But unfortunately for them: therapy is in fact working.

Like

Lestat: And I tried to make him jealous but it isn't working

Dr Linda: Have you tried verbalizing your insecurities? Proper communication always helps keeping the relationship healthy

Lestat: ????

Or alternatively,

Louis, being a dramatic little shit: Have you ever wondered what would it be to lay with the devil, Doctor?

Dr Linda: I don't have to, I already know he is quite good at fucking. Now let's talk about your feelings of guilt.

Louis: ???????

Also

Dr Linda: Claudia dear if you would tell people that your young complexion is a genetic mutation you might have people to court you. I recall in Gotham there was a young lady with a similar problem.

Claudia: What's genetics?

Headcanon:

Linda bought an air horn so she can interrupt Lucifer every time he starts saying some dumb shit during their therapy sessions. Now he's forced to actually contemplate her advice. It's an amazing method of stress relief for her.

Lucifer characters + what’s in their “Watch It Again”

Ella Lopez deffo watches Good Girls purely for Rio (just like the rest of us)

When he’s not watching Bones, Lucifer Morningstar is deffo a reality tv junkie

Chloe Decker dresses like she gets her outfit inspo from Detective Nancy McKenna

Mazikeen Smith deffo wishes she was locked up in Litchfield Penitentiary w Alex Vause

I can literally picture Dr Linda sat in front of her TV with a glass of wine, attempting an 1800s British accent

The relationship between Devi and Dr Ryan high key reminds me of the relationship between Lucifer and Dr Linda Martin.

Conclusion - patient / therapist dynamics in recent media have been elite.

I'm curious as to whether everyone found out about Chloe going to poison Lucifer or tried to? Like I think at least one of the angels would've known and told everyone else.

I mean I don't think Chloe deliberately tried to cover it up or anything. She even told Dan she tried to poison Lucifer in season 5 so it's not like she was trying to keep it a secret. I guess it was kind of glossed over or forgotten seeing as neither Chloe or Lucifer would really want to talk about it to anyone. Then a bunch of shit happened all at once and Lucifer returned to hell. There wasn't much opportunity for anyone to find out about it considering season 4's pace.

Though I think their reactions would've been along the lines of:

Amenadiel: *disappointed older brother voice* Chloe! >:(

Linda: Ok, I uh, well there certainly would've been better reactions. Like not trying to poison a man.

Maze: Oh yeah same I've tried poisoning Lucifer plenty of times. Never thought of hiring a psycho priest though. That's smart, well done Decker.

Eve: hehe yeah the poison of lust I getchu WAIT YOU TRIED TO KILL HIM?
