#i’m not even kin with lucifer

[bleedichor]

lucifer morningstar x fem! reader

you help comfort him after his meet up with his lovely daughter ꓹ⠀ charlie. [ no warnings. fluff. silly nicks. ]

The moment he took a step back in his castle, he felt the overwhelming feeling of panic. His chest was heavy, he was filled with dread, and somewhat bitter joy. It had been over centuries since he’s spoken to his own kin, his daughter whom he adored. His steps sounded heavy, almost like he was trying to carry his own weight. which alerted y/n of his arrival. She left her study and saw him in the hall, gripping his staff and tears threatening to fall.

“Honey pie, what’s wrong?” she walked cautiously, studying his body language and the clear evidence of tears. “Charlie..” he hiccups and began to cry. “Oh.. honey..,” she strolled over to him and lifted his face in her hands. “Charlie wants to get into contact with heaven. I still have my doubts but..” he spoke carefully as she gently wiped his tears with her thumbs. He relaxed in her touch, letting himself breathe.

“But you know you owe her this? Charlie is a bright girl, much like her father” she chuckled and smiled up to him. he smiled a bit then nodded. “I do owe her at least this, I wish you could have seen her.. she was magnificent. Her dreams are beautiful and she cares deeply for all of her people. She’s a wonderful woman now. I’m so proud of her.” He leaned his forehead against her own as they both shared a smile as tears silently fell from his cheek.

“I wish I was there for her, but I was so stuck in my own failures that I didn’t even realize how much I missed out on. I tried so hard to show everyone that freedom is a beautiful thing and yet—” y/n gently placed a kiss on his forehead to stop himself from spiraling into despair.

“Don’t say that about yourself. Stop it. You tried all you could do for your people and even then you tried that’s something you should be proud of. You never gave up.. and even if you did, you still dreamed about it day ‘n night. You’re amazing honey pie.. truly. You should give the helping hand that no one gave to you to Charlie.. you’re the only demon who could help her and plus she only has one father.” She winked and smiled.

He gently gave her a kiss on the lips and stood up straight, almost like a routine. She dusted his shoulders and coat then straightened his collar. “I’m so grateful to have a daughter like Charlie..” she held his hands, feeling the cold feeling of his ring.

She didn’t acknowledge it facially but she knew he loved his ex-wife and daughter with all his heart. It’s something that a new woman couldn’t change, it’s something she had to understand but she knew she loved the man he is. He’s a loving man and she knew he was going to commit to that promise to his daughter. “And.. I know I don’t say it much but I love you so much y/n, my beautiful beautiful apple” he kissed her once more, their hands enveloping each other.

Once they pulled apart she let out a soft giggle and fixed his hat “now go do as you promised and make your daughter proud.”

[obey-me-rot]

please please please come back you are possibly one of the best obm writers and trust me i have gone through ALL ao3, tumblr and wattpad. i know what i am talking about trust me 😭😭😭🙏🙏

Strangely enough I am working on something anon! So I am coming back I just need...ideas... In the meanwhile though please do check out @books-and-catears! I've been getting back into OM and they are half responsible for bringing me back !

God maybe I should open up requests...is anybody even in this fandom anymore? But because you are so sweet I'm gonna leave this! Have you ever had a little cut? Well not to fear, your prideful demon Lucifer has got his special disinfectant right here~

You sigh and put your hand over your neck once again, Lucifer coming up behind you as you sigh and lean forward so you can look at your face in the mirror.

“…I don’t know why I’m being a klutz all of a sudden.”

Lucifer wouldn’t call you a klutz, you were just distracted. You had looked rather lovely tucked in with your head stuck in a book that you had most likely not measured the amount of strength you were putting into your hand. So no, not a klutz–but certainly one step away from getting into yet another tiny accident. He smiles when he sees your pout and reaches for the hand around the back of your neck.

“Surely you shouldn’t be feeling down over a little scratch. Here, let me see–”

Your hand remains firm on your neck, even if his fingers were tucking inside so that he could start pulling it away.

“No no it’s fine--you have a lot of work. I’ll go grab a bandaid or something.”

He can feel you jump when his hand goes to your waist, keeping you in place as his other hand starts tugging down the small barrier you had made for yourself.

“MC. Let me see.”

You knew better than to argue with that voice, Lucifer had made it a priority to condition you and the rest of his brothers to always listen to this tone. It meant that if he had to repeat himself again, it would come with a very harsh punishment. With a sigh, you let him pull your hand away from your neck as your eyes look down at your feet, letting Lucifer see whatever damage you had unconsciously made

And it was–-mild.

The cut was most likely from the RAD badge that they needed to wear on the school uniform, Lucifer had seen you toss your jacket on rather haphazardly whenever you needed to run out of the House of Lamentation when you were late…it was most likely caused by that. Yet what had his attention wasn’t the cut–it was the little indentation of blood that had begun to pool up on the back of your neck.

“…Is...Is it bad?”

When was the last time he had seen human blood? He could probably count the time in millenia. It wasn’t necessarily new to him either–human blood was just human blood, after all. It was used in demon summoning rituals a long time ago. Whoever had wished to make a deal would offer up a hefty amount of their blood just to conjure their presence. No, what made this little sliver of blood so delici–special–was that it was yours. Human blood tastes metallic to your fellow kin, but demon’s had a different sort of palate.

“Not bad no…”

He pulls your hand by the wrist so your fingers go to his lips, letting his tongue trace the single drop of blood that was threatening to roll down your finger, greedily tasting the flavor of his Master's blood. There's no hesitation in his steps when he opens his mouth, pressing your finger against his tongue and closing his lips around it before you could even react. Another greedy suck, a cheeky smile and a hand that refused to let go of your wrist.

“But it should be disinfected right away.”

Hi!

Could I request the brothers + side characters reaction when mc turns into a goose? I was thinking something like mc turned into a goose due to Solomon messing up again, and they act like the goose from Untitled Goose Game, but cuddlier. Like they are still a little menace, but also want to be pet and cuddled.

If you don’t want to do this request I completely understand as it is a bit odd. I hope you have a great day/night!

A/N: Sorry that I’m so late!! I was just caught up in a lot of things and forgot this was in my drafts oof. I also changed a few things up just to be a little silly (and also bc I didn’t want to write the personality of duck MC here). Anyway, I decided to divide this into two parts; one for the brothers and the other for the side characters. Enjoy!

The Brother’s Reactions to Duck!MC

Characters: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor

Rating: SFW, fluff

Warnings: GN!MC, no pronouns used for MC, no gender specified for MC, interactions based on the brothers (not MC), personality not specified for MC

Tags: Fluff, the brothers love duck!MC, cuddling, preening, etc.

Part I (This Is Where You Currently Are), Part II (Coming Soon!)

Lucifer

How the hell did this happen?

“Will you stop taking my things, please? You’re making my life even more difficult than it is already.”

At first, he’d have fun with it, teasing you by picking you up randomly when in private

Even going so far as to sit in his lap while he pets you

But then he’d look for a way to fix it

And eventually he does, much to everyone’s protests

He’ll miss the times when he sets you in his lap and feeds you your favourites, but if you can be more helpful to him in your human form, he’d prefer that

Besides

He’d like to see your face instead of that of a duck

Mammon

Oh lord

Is he ever about to get in trouble

He’s no doubt teaming up with you to steal money

I mean

A duck?

In the Devildom?

Now THAT is about to attract a lot of money

He’d probably set up an attraction where lots of demons and demon-kin alike get to meet and pet a real goose

I feel like at the end of it all, even if Mammon did get a lot of money, you’d be exhausted

Because you already know you were out there for hours getting pet by so many

You need to recharge a bit

And that includes a lot of pets from Mammon

And a lot of cuddles

You know he’s going to be so happy to oblige

Levi

Unlike Mammon, he’s not going outside of the house

So you don’t have to worry about that

He’ll set you in his lap while he’s playing video games and he’ll let you time to time between bosses

Hell, he’ll even give you a controller to play with him if he’s feeling extra bored

And it baffles him how you win every time

Because a duck? Beating him? That’s impossible!

But he loves it

He’d lose to you again and again if it meant holding you in his lap like this

Satan

Team Prank Lucifer: Duck Addition

No but seriously, he’s getting into mischievous trouble with you in tow

He’d probably start by making cursed illusions of you but they all have different personalities

For instance, one could be kind and gentle while another could blow up the house

But while your illusions are causing havoc, the real you is resting in his lap as he reads a good book

He’s running his fingers through your goose feathers, practically preening you

He finds it relaxing how he can just pet you and sit back

If he’s honest, he hasn’t been reading his book for the past half an hour

He’s too busy adoring the way you shake your feathers in response to his pets

He finds you irresistibly adorable

Asmodeus

You already know he’s going to put you in cute little outfits

Doesn’t matter how much you hiss at him, he’ll find a way to put some sort of sweater on you

Once he does, he squeals and gets out his phone, taking a selfie with your very-not-amused-goose-face

This is not the first outfit he’s putting you in though, he’s putting you in sparkling pink and blue dresses and cute little tuxedos

He’s also putting some big, fluff coats on you

You’re not getting out of his sight no matter how hard you try

You just have to hope he gets bored

But let’s be honest here

That’s not happening

Beelzebub

Beel is pretty chill when he sees you all snuggled up beside his pillow, minding your own business

At first, he didn’t know it was you so he just kinda left you alone, thinking that you were another one of his brother’s crazy pets

Only when you had followed him out to the kitchen did he start to catch on

And once he does know it’s you, he’s carrying you everywhere with him

To the kitchen, the common room, the gym, RAD, or even the Demon Lord’s Castle

It doesn’t matter

As long as you’re in his arms, he’s happy

And if you want, he’d give you a few snacks as well

He doesn’t mind

And honestly? He’d get a bit sad when you return to normal

He got used to carrying you around :(

Belphegor

You can get he’s not moving unless he has to

So you’re his napping buddy until he’s forced to get up

He’d hold you in his arms and cuddling you as he sleep talks

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can escape his grasp and sit on either his back or his stomach

When he wakes up, he’s so confused bc his sleepy brain is thinking-

“Why is there a duck on me?”

And then he remembers that it’s you and he bundles you up in his arms again

He looks away when your duck wings flap in his face but he starts petting you when you settle

He’ll stay awake to pet you despite the pull of his sin that makes his eyes flutter closed every now and then

But he enjoys it

And when you return to normal, he’s in your arms fast asleep

Um hello, could you write some relationship headcanons for Lucifer from Blue Exorcist with a half human/ half angel s/o? If that’s alright with you, please and thank you. I liked your recent Blue Exorcist headcanons and I’m also excited for season 3!

(BLUE EXORCIST) YANDERE LUCIFER x HALF-ANGEL! READER: Headcannons

Thank you for ordering!

Come again soon!

• Thank you SO much for requesting aoex lucifer like OMG we need more yandere fics of him (and aoex) and I'm willing to provide

• Since angels don’t exist in Aoex as a reference I’m gonna use the stereotypical angel as a guide.

• This takes place following my other headcannons of him once he finally captures you.

• As soon as he does he notices something off about you. A lump in the back of your clothing that seemed to twitch or the way your wounds bled golden.

• Firstly he’d be absolutely stunned. Angels exist? Ridiculous! Yet as he sees your unconscious form, Wings splayed out and all there was no denying it.

• He’d totally be into it though. Lucifer views himself as perfection and you being such a holy and pure being just matches him perfectly.

• Even though you are only half, Though.

• He has a lot of questions about your heritage. Which one of your parents are an angel? Have you met them? Do archangels exist too? Are one of them your parent?

• He asks these questions in such a monotone voice yet he’s really intrigued by who sired you.

• Lucifer also asks about heaven, if you’ve been there and If there really is one and there is a god

• He asks about your wings too. Lucifer thinks they’re absolutely divine and asks (Near pleadingly) to touch them. To which you back away in aversion until his guards bring you forth, He doesn’t care whether you say yes or no. You’re his so he can caress your wings all he wants. 

• Unironically calls you “My Angel” with a straight face.

• When your forced to sleep in the same bed as him he constantly strokes the feathers of your wings, Finding comfort in them.

• Will be testing your blood for any healing properties for his elixr’s. If you do then there is absolutely no way you’re getting out of this place.

• You move to a bigger room so you have more space for your wings.

• The clothing he gets for you will be much more ‘Angelic’ with mostly whites and pastels. Its all for his delusion of divinity with you, Even if you are only half.

• Youll live longer because of your blood. Lucifer is glad about that because it gives him more time to find a way to make you immortal alongside him.

• Homare now goes to bird care classes on her time off.

• Lucifer, When he has a good body, Likes to take you around museums (Which he rents out so you two are alone) and gets you to explain what happened in the religious sections.

• Even if you have no clue since you’re half human and weren’t born around that time, He’ll believe any gibberish you make up and listen with interest.

• Even though he is a demon, He does view himself as more of an angel so he doesn’t see any issue when you say you cant be together due to your conflicting sides. (And that he kidnapped you and touches your wings without consent, But he wasn’t really listening to that part)

• If you ever try to escape him by flying off he will catch you. Both his siblings, Their kin and the Illuminati will have no problem tracking you down.

• The worst part is when you kneel before him after being recaptured, Surrounded by the entire Illuminati as he softly threatens to clip your wings if you do it again.

• Afterwards you now wear leg weights to make it more difficult. While he would definitely clip your wings he wants to keep them in perfect condition, So you’re safe another day.

• Good luck trying to cry for your angelic parent when you’re locked in a angelically warded room!

Well technically, Charlie is also an antichrist and she's a total sweetheart! It's all a matter of perspective

**after clearing the air**

Ellie: *laughs* Oh I’m so sorry! Please forgive my transgressions like that. I’m sorry for saying sweet little Calliope is the anti Christ! She’s just a cute baby! *looks at Alastor* Though I notice she looks a lot like Lucifer than she does you. I know you came out pale guy my goodness she’s as while as a clean bedsheet!

Alastor: Well it’s not like I chose her outer appearance mother. She just happens to resemble her father. Besides you said I was better off resembled *groans* him…

Ellie: I know but I barely even registered this child as my own kin! At least she has curly locks! Those curls you had were beautiful. I always hated having to straighten them out.

Alastor: I know mother. But you know how my hair was always so thick and curl. Keeping it cut and straight is just easier.

Angel Dust: *gasps* You mean your undercut is a choice and not some accident chop job?!

Alastor: *glares*

Angel Dust: Sorry…

Ellie: Oh yeah. I can tell Calliope will have such beautiful thick locks! She maybe, uh extremely white passing, but she has her Papa’s hair texture. Ya gotta learn how to care for those curls Allie! Times are different! Curls are in!

Alastor: Yes Mama.

Lucifer: *totally not feeling awkward at all* So uh…this has been nice and all but I fear we may have overstayed our welcome!

Alastor: *glaring hard at Lucifer*

Ellie: Oh are you sure? I was about to make dinner! I’m gonna make Creole Chicken Fricassée!”

Angel Dust: Really? No Jambalaya?

Ellie: I made that earlier! And don’t worry son, little Calliope here loved the small taste I gave her! She didn’t even seem bothered by the spices I used.

Alastor: she is my daughter after all.

Note: I’m going with the headcanon that Alastor is mixed white and black but is white passing and back in those days it was “better to pass” (which I do not agree with).

Ellie = 100% African American

Alastor = 50% African American/50%White European

Calliope = 25% African American/25% White European & 50% Angelic Being

If I’m wrong about something please let me know and I will try to correct it!

El gave him puppy eyes ok??

How was he supposed to deny her request for makeover night?

“Please Eddie? Nancy says your hair will look so pretty!” El’s pleading was beginning to wear him down, not that Eddie would ever admit it, but what really screwed him over was when Max pulled out an equally adorable pouty face.

He could see the barely restrained snark in her eyes as she said, “Yeah Eddie, you’ll look so pretty. You know who likes pretty fluffy hair?”

That little brat! Her tactics were kinda working though… He feigned deep thought as he said “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I suppose I could be convinced… bribed even! Now what is it that I would want… hmm let’s see…”

Max glowered, narrowing her eyes. “One week of laundry” she spit it out before she could regret it. Max had taken to doing laundry with the Munsons at least once a week, meeting at the laundromat and eating candy while chatting with Wayne or Eddie. She could handle doing a few extra baskets of laundry by herself.

Eddie scratched his chin, “I dunno, Red.” He smiled, “if we’re doing the whole shebang, hair, nails, makeup etc. etc. I think I need something much more convincing.” He leaned against the counter. Eddie had no problem doing makeover night, in fact it sounded nice, but he needed a little more convincing to ditch out on Star Wars night with the boys. He expected the girls to offer candy, baked goods or he’ll, even money; El in an unpredictable turn of events spoke up.

“We can get you a picture!” She quickly turned and whispered in Max’s ear, a grin spreading on the redhead’s face. “Yeah we could definitely do that!”

“Wait..what??” Eddie held up his hands in confusion, Max took his hands in her’s. “Dearest Edward, how would you like a picture of Steve shirtless?”

These children were pure evil, spawn of hell, offspring of Lucifer, kin of the dev-

Eddie’s train of thought was rudely interrupted by El re entering the room (when did she leave?) with a camera and a confused Will in tow. Max began plotting with the two of them as Eddie sat there speechless, at least until he managed to squawk out

“WAIT”

Three pairs of eyes flicked to him, taking in his pale sweaty face. Eddie almost toppled over as he said, “how do you… wait… do you guys just want to see him shirtless?” His face turned smug as he recovered quickly.

Max looked at him with her arms crossed, “yeah so do you. Two birds, one stone”. Damn she had Eddie there.

“Fine kid. You have a deal. Speak of this to no one.”

Will laughed, “which part, the make over or your crush on our babysitter?” Eddie smacked Will’s head as he walked by, heading to the girl’s room.

“OW! Hey!”

“Well are you guys coming or what? We conspiring to do!” They watched as Eddie jogged up the stairs. The girls squealed wildly and ran after him, leaving a processing Will behind.

By the time he made it up the stairs, Robin and Nancy were already wrapping Eddie’s hair in curlers as Max and El painted his nails. They were chatting softly and giggling as the older girls argued with Eddie over eyeshadow colors. They were in a heated debate, something about colors and shades? Eddie lightly blew air over his now drying nails when he turned to Will who stood awkwardly in the doorway

“Whatcha think Will? Now I’m not arguing with you Robin, I do look fantastic in green, but I’m definitely more of an autumn”.

[ikemen-trifecta]

can I get a coffee with genshin or obey me! characters reacting to their s/o coming out as asexual on top? /lh

Here you go~! Your order served with extra whip cream, some chocolate drizzle, and a cherry on top!!!

I had so much fun writing this, and I hope everyone reading this loves it too!!! :D And remember~ you all are valid!! <3

Enjoy!!! <3 ~ Mod Astraea!! >:3

————————————————————————————————————————

💖⚠️caution!! It’s super sweet!!!⚠️💖

Coming Out as Asexual to the Demon Brothers!!

Lucifer: 

Would be super understanding! 

“Thank you for sharing this with me MC. I love to know more about you.”

He will ruffle your hair and any anxiety you had inside of you away with a sweet smile on his face

As long as he gets to spend time with you and have you by his side, that is all that matters <3

“Your very presence is so soothing to me. Now come closer, I want to hold you.”

After you told him he would be extra careful to make sure you were comfortable with anything he did, even gentle touches to brush a strand of hair out of your face, or to get a bit of food on your cheek. 

“(y/n) you have a bit of cream on your cheek…may I?” 

NOT TO MENTION HOW SWEET HE WOULD BE <3

“Please, tell me all the ways that you do wish to be touched. I'll give you my undivided attention.” FELL TO MY KNEES AT WALMART

Would be so respectful of your boundaries~ the epitome of a gentleman!! 

Mammon:

“Oh! Y-ya are? That’s pretty cool…” 

You can tell from his facial expressions and how he’s stuttering he has absolutely no idea what that means 

After you explain it to him, he totally accepts you!! 

To him, head rubs and holding hands means everything <3 EMPHASIS ON THE HEAD RUBS 

And he would never give those up for anything in the world! He feels like a million Grimm every time you pat his head!!

And now that you’ve told him he feels so special!! He’ll be all like (y/n) told me…ME!! 

If someone tries to make fun of you for your sexual orientation, expect him to run to your defense and go into attack mode!!

“No one makes fun of my human, ya hear me!? If any stupids act mean to you, I’ll give 'em’ a piece of the Great Mammon!” 

It makes the “I was y/n’s first!!!” jokes so funny though ashdjksl

LIKE “mAMS PLEASE-”

Leviathan:

“Do you…still like me?” Poor baby is worried that he may not be good enough T-T

“Of course I do!! You cry out and explain, “I don’t feel sexual attraction at all, and I just never want to have sex in general. I love you lots Levi!! Thiisss much!!” You extend your arms out by your side as far as they can possibly go, which immediately puts a blush on his face.

His worries fade into happiness, and when you ask how he feels about it he goes, “I d-don’t mind at all! If it means I can still play games together all day with you and do the things we love together, it doesn’t matter to me in the slightest!”

He adds with a slight blush while glancing over to the side, “I mean that’s normie stuff anyways!! I’m comfortable like this with you!” 

He’s also over the moon that you trusted him with this and told him!! <3

Would gift you little pins like the ones adorned on his shirt with the Asexual pride flag!! So you can match with him too hehe

Shows you characters who are also asexual!! He would want you to feel represented, and you guys would also head canon characters together that you feel are asexual too!!

He thinks the way you say, “that’s me!!” when watching a show with an asexual character and your whole face lights up is the cutest thing ever! Levi knows exactly how it feels to see someone like yourself in the media, and how big of a comfort it is! 

This also opens up to squealing over kins together <3

Satan:

“Okay, that’s cool. We don’t need to do anything you're not comfortable with. I’ll show you how much I care about you in other ways. It’s your sexuality and it’s part of you…and I love every part of you.” 

You almost have tears of happiness in your eyes!! “Satan that was so sweet…”

“Oh, hush you,” he says with the biggest blush on his face

He’ll honestly be so proud of you for coming out because he knows it’s not easy! 

AND YES IN OTHER WAYS HE SHOWS YOU LOVE~ HE DOES INDEED <3

Because is there anything better than sex? Yeah, a really good book! 

He will read a lot about it and educate himself on the topic as much as possible!! Best ally ever <3

And he will read to you while you lay your head on his lap <3

Asmodeus:

If you were nervous about telling him cause he’s the Avatar of Lust - don’t be!!

He will immediately cup your cheeks and pepper your forehead with kisses~!

"Being with you makes me happy and I can see every day how happy you are with me! That’s all that matters (y/n)!" 

Would buy you pride flags and make his own with cute designs with the colors to support you!! 

THE MOST ROMANTIC GESTURES IN THE WORLD

He will adorn his bathroom with divinely scented candles and rose petals to bathe together with you - only if you’re comfortable with it!

Lots of self-care with him~ face masks, bath bombs~ you know it!

Oh and of course massages are a must!! It makes him feel close to you <3

Also, if you’re open about being ace, he will totally paint your nails white, black, and purple and make them look beautiful! 

He will constantly let you know that sexual feelings aren’t everything, and that there is so much more than that! He will always reassure you that he is there to give you love and affection~

“I will always be ready to give you so much love! Nothing will ever change that hon~”

Beelzebub:

You know all too well that Beel loves his food! So, you know just what route you should go with this! The cake analogy!! 

At first, when you start explaining how some people like chocolate and vanilla, he lights up and starts engaging intensely with your explanation 

And then when you tell him, “so basically, I’d rather eat cake than have sex!!” he immediately understands!!

All the talk of cake makes his stomach growl

“MC, would you like to go get cake with me?” to which you happily go out on a cake eating date with him!!

You grin and just KNOW you have to tell him about all the garlic bread memes 

And surprise surprise~ he loves them 

“There’s nothing better than eating food with you. It tastes even yummier when we’re together and fills me up in another way. There’s no better feeling than this.” :D

Belphegor: 

"That's fine, I still love you (y/n), it doesn't change a single thing."

CUDDLE SESSIONS CUDDLE SESSIONS

Belphie is so down to just cuddle with you! 

Sometimes he would like to rest his head on your bare tummy/thighs because he’s big on physical touch and it makes him feel close to you

And your heart!! Whenever he rests his head on your chest and hears the sound of your heart beating it makes him feel so warm and fuzzy

After telling him, you two lay on soft blankets together, hands intertwined. It’s so quiet and comfortable, and just as you think to yourself that this couldn’t get any better, Belphie mutters out in a sleepy voice, “I want you by my side forever and always…” Truly the magic words for this tranquil and enchanting moment shared between the two of you <3

On September 29, the traditional date of Michaelmas, I decided to have a celebration—but not in honor of the angels defeating their rebellious kin. Rather, it was a celebration in honor of Lucifer, both grieving his fall from perfect beauty and grace and celebrating that he now is among us, along with all that entails, guiding us to this day.

My understanding of the Divine keeps growing year after year, and Lucifer seems to become more and more central to my practice as time goes by. Exactly who he is and how I view him is complicated, and personal too… but if I have to summarize, I approach and honor him from a pagan perspective, but his significance in Christian mythology cannot be denied and is also important to me. He is, all at once, a rebel, a beautiful God of Light, the wild and untamed Horned God, the Prometheus who shares everything he is with us mortals, and the keeper of the pathways between this world and the next. He is enlightened and full of love and kindness, but is also like a wild beast—unpredictable and not always soft or gentle.

I love him dearly.

(Note that I also follow and honor the Goddess still; her relationship to Lucifer is equally complex and meaningful to me. Also, while I do consider myself a theistic Luciferian, I don’t 100% prescribe to the mindset that usually describes, nor do I think I’m much for the LHP otherwise, lol.)

I was happy I got to spend time with him, as well as fully share this aspect of my practice with my husband. I was happy they were super supportive, understanding, and even enthusiastic to share in this celebration with me.

Blessed be, my Beloved Morningstar. The Goddess and I honor and love you this time of the year.

(Pictured: my ever-changing holiday altar, as well as the blackberry cobbler I made for dessert—made sure to eat it after midnight to be especially rebellious!)

Finally did Belle!!! I was concerned that the recording level was too low, but I guess it's the effect of the low-ish karaoke and the three tracks. Curiously enough the sheet music only lists two parts for the last verse harmony, one the main melody and the other the higher harmony. I assume Quasimodo sings the melody and Phoebus the higher (and weirdly sweet) harmony, so what does Frollo sing???? Same as Quasimodo???? I just had Frollo sing the main melody, lol. I'm 99% sure I’m singing way too low for all these key changes, but otherwise I'd go into my dying cat range and trust me. No one wants that.

Belle (Belle)

Quasimodo Belle She becomes the word incarnate when she sings Like the herald of the dawn, her song takes wing I hear her call and on this earth at last I’m free I see her dance and glimpse the hell inside of me What golden treasure lies beneath her gypsy skin! Won’t Notre Dame attend my prayer and purge my sin? Tell If there’s a man who would refuse to leave her be Not even God could save him now from infamy  Oh, Lucifer! To you I call, attend my prayer To run my hand through Esmeralda’s raven hair

Frollo Belle She’s a hellish kite, a kin of Jezebel Who’d make me forsake my virtue for her fell She weaves a web of lies and casts her witch’s spell To turn my gaze from God and damn me in her hell Like Eve, she bears the ancient curse beneath her skin Temptress of old who traps me in her mire of sin Fell! This whore Delilah, is she Mary actualized The promised coming of our Savior realized? Oh, Notre Dame! Protect me, shield me from this fate Or let me through this Eden, Esmeralda’s gate

Phoebus Belle Even past those ‘witching eyes, can I be sure Is she still untouched, a heathen soul still pure? A single glance and all my reason melts to clay Before the fire of her dance, her Venus sway Beloved heart, for just this once, I’ll be forsworn Before I plight to you my troth the wedding morn Tell The kind of man who’d turn from her, a man of stone To spurn the promise of a wonder yet unknown? Oh, Fleur-de-Lys! Forgive me, give me leave, my dove To go and pluck sweet Esmeralda’s rose of love

All What golden treasure lies beneath her gypsy dress! Won’t Notre Dame attend my prayer, my will profess? Yes! And he, the man who’d lock her up and claim her bed Not even God can save him now, that man is dead Oh, Lucifer! To you I call, attend my prayer To run my hand through Esmeralda’s raven hair Esmeralda…

#notre dame de paris #nddp #musical #cristina sings #my lyrics #badly but she does #notre dame de paris english #so glad i cleaned up a lot of this #i even managed to keep esmeralda’s hair surprise #surprised me too

HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK AWHILE. I’M SO FUCKING SORRY; but you already know that. I already gave you some Alastor headcanons as you know, so here’s Lucifer and Vox for you!

tw - talk on mental disorders, unhealthy relationships (kind of), Vox being a micromanaging dictating asshole.

Jax x Lucifer (Luciax)…

• Honestly, when I wrote your first matchup I was a little stumped trying to find a male character that would fit with you aside from Angel. Now that the show is out and we have a good view of Lucifer, I would’ve had him first place instead of Alastor. You two just fit each other tbh.

• He enjoys the fact your chill, as I think that anyone who’s too strict or uptight makes him uncomfortable.

• The way you act so nicely to him, and genuinely enjoy your time with him..it’s sweet. Like a candy apple!

• Lucifer is a very awkward guy, so he understands and is extremely patient when you have those awkward moments. All he asks is that you’re patient with him too, which I don’t ever see being a problem.

• Oh, and he also can get really loud when he talks too. Especially when he’s excited over something.

• He can also get very silly when he talks. I headcanon he’s one of those bitches that talks super fast when they’re ranting about something or just talking about something they like.

• You both can be rule breakers together. I mentioned this before, I just don’t see him doing something like murder, but even then I don’t see you doing something like that either.

• He’s glad you genuinely care for him..and would take care of him like the dad you are. He jabs right back at you with the same fatherly like love too. I can see you two often fighting for who can be the most loving.

• He canonically suffers from depression, so he helps you as best as he can because of how much he can relate to it. Often times he’s a shoulder to cry on, or a person to give some advice.

• He stims with you! He’s come to realize how regulating it can be. His favorites are jumping and flapping his wings!

• He thinks your ugly laugh is really cute..he might tease about it but seeing any genuine parts of you makes him really happy.

• Lucifer adores animals just like you! In fact, since he’s now at the hotel more often you’d often get to see Keekee and Razzle!

• He spoils you with a lot treats. I don’t even think he’s aware that too much can make you sick. Even if you mention it, he keeps saying his power is at your desire. Even if it’s not okay he wants to please you as much as he can.

• I’d imagine he turns himself into a marketable plushie so you can kiss him. He also stays in his plushie if you want to cuddle, or just need something to squish!

• Lucifer is a giant man-baby tbh. So when you baby him, it’s the best fuckin feeling in the world. In return when you need it, he loves to do it to you!

• He watches a lot of anime and shows with you, though definitely sucks at keeping quiet and give his full commentary throughout it all.

• He’s a very touchy person, so that may or may not become an issue. I know you mask it, but I think the truth will eventually come out. At that point he might become distant for a little while until he figures out other ways to show affection. Like through gift giving! I say physical touch and gift giving.

• He’s smaller then you by quite a bit, so please make fun of him for it. Just tease though, because on a certain degree I don’t think he likes talking about his height too much.

• LUCIFER EATS UP EVERY STYLE YOU DO! Every outfit is like it’s own art piece, and it really gets him excited to see how creative you are!

• He’s also very interested in your hobbies! Gaming, anthropology, music, dancing, art, science, and cooking are the ones he most likely participates in with you!

• Especially music and dancing . We all know damn well that guy is a theater kid.

• He happens to know a lot of languages due to being (at one time) a higher power. It’s very easy for him to pick up everything you say! He even likes to flirt right back or say a snappy comment if you come out of nowhere with something.

• He overall loves how much of a creative and fun person you can be, and often matches how excitable and passionate you are. It makes him not feel so alone in a world we’re other often shut out his dreams, so to him, you’re everything his dreams could ever ask for.

Jax x Vox (Jox)…

• So you and Vox..I’m not sure how the two of you would’ve met or clicked, so I’ll leave that up to your imagination.

• He’s another person who likes how chill you can be. He has a hard time dealing with people that are temperamental or irrational, so having you as the type of person who’s easy going and not absolutely freak the fuck out all the time is good.

• He also likes his alone time, so if you can respect his he’ll respect yours

• Loud talking can annoy the fuck out of him. Sometimes he can handle it, mostly if the situation is already super hype. Though if he’s working and needs a minute of silence, he might bluntly just tell you to shut the fuck up.

• If he’s in a good mood, he might just start boosting about how much he loves you, and will often do things for you out of nowhere. I recommend loving him back during those times as well, as when he’s not in this mood he can get particularly nasty and moody.

• Vox can be silly sometimes when he wants, which much like the last headcanon you should feel more comfortable to be more silly yourself. You should immediately cut it off when he’s working, as he definitely won’t tolerate it then and will probably get mad at you.

• He also gives you your favorite snacks to shut you up, lol.

• He can easily catch onto you though, so hiding anything will be hard to do. He’s especially pushy, and will get pissed off if you don’t let him help you or give you advice. Most likely because it leaves him feeling anxious, which is something he can’t have considering his overlord status. Any weakness is a massive threat.

• He’s also very quick witted, and often keeps up with your jabs at the same speed you do.

• He helps with your anger issues as best as he can, though that’s mostly when it benefits him. It’s nothing he’s not used to dealing with, considering how pissed off Val can get on a regular basis.

• He actually gives really good advice and is good at keeping you in check, though unfortunately as I mentioned it’s often for his own image as an overlord. He wouldn’t want to be know for a bitchy boyfriend, would he?

• Your ugly laugh make him laugh, so all in all I think it’s a good thing! Just little bits and pieces of you are the special parts Vox holds dear

• He often has to hold you back from fights, since starting them in Hell (especially when you aren’t an overlord, which I assume you’re not.) is 50/50. He doesn’t want to see your sorry ass getting hurt, so instead he’ll take care of it if he has the time, or will leave it to his contractors.

• He doesn’t vent often same as you, nor do I think he finds a need to dwell on such subjects either. If the time comes where he absolutely needs it, he’ll count on you first and foremost, considering you’re the closest person he can trust as an Overlord that won’t ruin his image.

• Likes to prank you by shocking you with your plushies. He often leaves little electric shocks in the furry plushies you have, and when you go to kiss them you get zapped. He finds it fucking hilarious, but I guess in your own way you can see it as him giving you a goodnight kiss back.

• Very rarely does he like to be babied. I don’t think he necessarily minds it, but he just doesn’t want you to get too fatherly/motherly, ESPECIALLY in public. However, I do think if he’s in a particular happy mood he’ll baby you!

• He watches anime and shows with you as well, but like Lucifer, Vox is the type of guy to give his own commentary throughout the whole thing. Like damn, you seen the Finale episode? Bro wouldn’t shut tf up.

• Vox gets a little nervous when you cry. Sure, he knows how to deal with temperament issues and some sadness, but when it gets to a point when you’re crying over something that genuinely makes you sad, he starts to get sad himself. At those times he often retaliates and gets mad at you, or just makes fun of you for crying.

• He makes fun of your height too, an often uses you as an arm rest. The overlords are well for 6’5 from what I gather, so you’re really small to them.

• He does like your style, and often points you to Velvette for other fashion stuff, as it’s not really something he’s into.

• If you’re ever into wearing suits or dresses though, he loses his shit. Full on head over heels.

• I think his TV head doubles as a computer cause of the way he had a computer error on his screen when Alastor pissed him off in Stayed Gone, so if you two are bored he’ll become your gaming TV lmao.

• He can also play your favorite music for you, and be your very own encyclopedia, I think. I’m not really sure how his TV head works but hopefully as we learn more we can get more of the picture.

• If he can play music from his TV head though, I think it would be really cute if he helps you fall asleep with a lullaby (though that might be a lame thing since I was in little space for almost all of this fucking week lol.)

• He spoils you rotten with gifts if you behave for him, mostly because he’s an overlord and he can; plus he appreciates you being under control just for his own image.

• Roasts the hell out of you when you get your words wrong. At the end of the day he doesn’t mean super bad by them since he is your lover, it’s simply not easy to avoid his teasing, especially when it boosts his self esteem.

• He thinks you’re extremely talented with all the crafty things you do, but with often exploit it to profit off of it for the both of you, even if you don’t want to.

• I think with some circumstances you guys could work, though be weary, as he’s sometimes too focused on what he’s doing to care for you all the time, which may or may not be an issue. Just know that he loves you, even if he’s not there all the time or doesn’t show it as well as others might.

Obey Me! Characters meeting Twisted Wonderland Characters

Request commented and made by @r4yyyyy

Hope it’s up to your standard<(^-^<)

May contain spelling errors. Maybe a bit OOC but eh.

Ace and Mammon

Riddle, Trey, and Lucifer already feel an headache coming-

At first they didn’t like each other all too much because both of them were glaring at each other every time the other interacted with Yuu or Yuki.

After confirming that no, the other isn’t trying to flirt with your best friend/human, they started to talk while Yuu and Yuki had to do something

And soon enough, Mammon was already asking Ace if he wanted to rob a bank.

And Ace being, well, Ace

Actually agreed to it, despite Deuce telling him that no, he shouldn’t do that unless they want both of their heads taken off by Riddle.

But Mammon persuaded Ace by telling him he, a demon, can easily defend both of them from Riddle, “just a human with magic” in his words.

Well, uh…

Not only did they fail to even get inside the bank, turns out Riddle’s collars affected demons way worst than humans.

Since demons don’t have a medium where magic flows out(ex. the magical pens NRC and probably RSA have) I’m going to take a guess that their magic circulates all over their body.

I’d compare their magic to like blood circulation or mana, so collaring Mammon would stop the magic from flowing into his head like blood would, making him light headed.

Now poor Ace has to deal with Riddle and Yuu’s anger.

In conclusion; chaos duo.

(Can be “chaos trio” but Deuce would probably refrain from interacting with those menaces)

Lucifer and Malleus

I’ve never heard silence quite this loud…

But once one of them decide to break the silence(probably by Malleus asking a question about something in Devildom that interested him) they’d probably exchange knowledge about their respective worlds.

“Overblots?” Lucifer would ask.

“Ah yes, I can see why someone would take interest in that, but first I should probably explain what exactly is ‘blot’.”

(Satan was interested too, he was probably eavesdropping)

The next time Yuu and Yuki see them both they’d be talking animatedly.

“Ohmygoshmyheart— why are they so handsome when they smile?!?!” Yuu and Yuki would collectively gush.

Sebek and Belphie

“Do you hate humans too?”

“Very much.”

And that sums up pretty much all their interactions.

But that’s because it’s the only thing they have in common.

If Sebek shouts and wakes up Belphie from his nap, hope to whatever deity they believe in the Valley of Thorns that Sebek gets back to Twisted Wonderland alive-

Someone get Beel and Silver to keep their brothers’ at bay.

Trey meeting Barbatos&Luke

Trey and Luke would get along immediately because of their interests in baking.

Barbatos was introduced to modern kitchen equipment and is absolutely fascinated.

Like Trey would show him a mixer and he’d be like “Dear Diavolo! You’re telling me I have been mixing things by hand when this contraption exists?!” and yes his eyes are indeed sparkling.

The fact that Devildom is actually behind modern technology is so hilarious to me-

All of them would exchange recipes.

Trey may or may not unofficially adopt/take Luke under his wing to teach him more about the recipes;)

Satan and Deuce

You’re just a little bit too much like me~

They both have a side to themselves that they want to hide from other people.

And the fact that both are related to their tempers is just— they pretty much kin each other ig.

Since Satan doesn’t really have a reason to dislike Deuce, he tolerates him.

Satan thought he and Deuce wouldn’t be that close.

*Satan’s older brother mode activated*

But he pretty much treats Deuce as if he’s his little brother.

Probably teaches and helps Deuce with his grades.

Would give Deuce books he has read and liked.

Satan probably teaches Deuce metaphors and euphemisms he had picked up over the years.

“Wait so washing feet can mean…?!”

“Hahaha, that would be the case.”

And by extension, Asmo would probably treat Deuce as if he’s his brother.

Asmo and Vil

Ahahaha, *Yuki and Epel nervously sweating*

Gosh if Vil even tries to point out something he thinks is “wrong” about Asmo’s skin or outfit?

He’d get it back 10 fold.

“Now that’s not how you wear a scarf you potato-”

“That should not be coming from someone whose colored hair tips look absolutely fried.”

“They look so damaged that it might even rival the way you part your hair and that ridiculous crown accessory you have.”

So Vil would either explode from anger or actually cry.

And Epel is just amazed. Like sparkles in his eyes amazed.

Rook is now walking eggshells around the both of them.

Asmo would probably call out Vil for his unnecessarily harsh insults/“advice” he gives to his dorm mates.

Asmo can and will annoy Vil by hypnotizing Rook and make him do whatever he wants to annoy Vil.

Series: Part 1 of Women of Eden

Summary:

Eve wasn’t sure how long she wept, but it felt like an eternity. Truly, it would’ve been an eternity if not for the hand that entered her vision and pulled her from her despair.

“Come, darling,” said a voice like the sweetest melody. “Even the Fallen need not remain on the ground.”

*

Despite spending her life repenting for it, Eve is sentenced to Eternal Damnation for the Original Sin. Betrayed by her God and separated from her family, Eve finds salvation in strange places – namely, in the arms of Lilith Morningstar.

Tears streamed from Eve’s eyes as she hurdled down into Hell. They stung her eyes and turned her vision red, but it was only after some made their way into her mouth that she realized she was crying tears of blood.

Hair that had silvered with age darkened to the brown it once was in her youth. Short, bony horns sprouted from just behind her hairline, and vestigial wings burst from her shoulder blades. In one moment, she saw her skin as it was when she lived in Eden; in the next she saw the skeleton beneath.

Eve screamed in anguish, in heartbreak, and in spite. Hadn’t she been a good wife? A good mother? Hadn’t she repented for her sin in the Garden? Hadn’t she been punished enough?

When she hit the ground, Eve felt more pain than she had ever known. It was worse than any injury, worse than the pain of childbirth, even worse than the loss of Abel and Cain.

She felt the betrayal of the God she had dedicated her life to, the final severance between herself and her children – who were either cursed to walk the Earth forever or promised an Afterlife in Heaven – and the destruction of everything she’d ever known.

And Eve wailed, laying in the crater she made when she Fell. She had no will to rise, no reason.

She had given everything to her God and her husband, and this was her reward. It was all for nothing. She’d never see either of them again. Adam was in Heaven – he’d passed years before her; he’d visited – and Damnation was about as Godforsaken as one could get.

Eve felt as broken as her promise in the Garden. As bitter as the aftertaste of the Forbidden Fruit. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair.

Seas of red tears poured over her cheeks, because once again, Eve was paying for her sin with her blood.

Eve wasn’t sure how long she wept, but it felt like an eternity. Truly, it would’ve been an eternity if not for the hand that entered her vision and pulled her from her despair.

“Come, darling,” said a voice like the sweetest melody.

Eve looked up and saw – for the first time in her existence – a woman who was not her kin. Long platinum hair cascaded over her shoulders and kissed the ground beneath her feet. Her silver eyes shone like moonlight, and she wore a dress blacker than the night.

She was blasphemy and salvation, she was glory and grace and safety and sin, and she was the most beautiful person Eve had ever laid eyes on.

“Even the Fallen need not remain on the ground,” said the woman, and Eve took the hand she offered.

“What is your name?” Eve asked, as the woman helped her to her feet.

“Lilith,” the woman answered.

“I’m Eve,” Eve told Lilith, feeling rather unsteady on her feet.

Lilith smiled. “Of course you are,” she said. “Who else would you be?”

Eve didn’t know what she meant by that. In fact, she found it difficult to even begin to think of what Lilith might mean – too lost in flaxen locks and moonlit eyes.

“Welcome to my kingdom, Eve. It’s no Heaven, no Eden, no Earth – but it is home. And I hope that one day, you might come to love it as I do.”

It was then that the pieces fell into place. Lilith: The woman Eve’s husband cursed with his dying breath; the one who was cast from Eden for wanting to lie above him rather than below. Lilith who cavorted with devils, with Fallen archangels, with the very serpent that had fed Eve the fruit that would be her Damnation.

Lilith who treated Eve with kindness from the very moment of their meeting; who spoke to her with endearments in a way her husband had never cared to; whose appearance left her awestruck in a way God had long-since been unable to.

And Eve knew then and there that she would follow Lilith across Hell and back again.

Shin Megami Tensei review

Upon the release of the SNES, Atlus, whose Megami Tensei games on the NES were already among the most well designed and memorable RPGs on the console, decided to take the foundation these games built even further. Slapping a “Shin” onto the title and fully distancing themselves from the original Digital Devil Story license, though keeping concepts like the COMP and Demon Summoning Program, the original Shin Megami Tensei, though still influenced heavily by Megami Tensei II, is the game that officially defined the identity of the franchise, becoming one of the most distinctive and influential games on the console. Today, we’re gonna take a look at just what makes this game so special. The version I played was the GBA version, using a patch that ports the official translation from the now defunct iOS version (thanks a lot, Atlus). Note that there will be heavy spoilers throughout this review, so those who wish to keep the story unspoiled, you have been warned.

Story:

Unlike Megami Tensei II, which had loose, but existent story ties to its predecessor, Shin Megami Tensei’s story and setting is a total clean slate. In the year 199X, an unremarkable teenager named Kazuya (note that I’m using the names from Shin Megami Tensei Character Profile: Steven Report I, effectively the closest thing to a source of canon names) begins to have odd dreams that appear to be shared with other people, those being Yuji, a noble and kind, though slightly awkward young man, Takeshi, an abrasive, vindictive, and power hungry delinquent, Yuriko, a mysterious woman who claims to be Kazuya’s eternal partner, and Yuka, a young woman with strange magical abilities who seems particularly tied to Kazuya. In the middle of all this, Kazuya begins to receive messages from a mysterious man named Stephen, warning that ancient demons from the Expanse are invading the human world, intent on annihilating humanity, and that the only hope of combating them is the Demon Summoning Program he invented, allowing one to communicate with and command these same demons.

Just as Stephen warns, demons begin appearing throughout Japan, and chaos rapidly overtakes the country, with a JSDF commander named Gotou using the situation to launch a coup and instate martial law, causing the American military to move in, intent on restoring order. Attempting to work through the madness that his life has become, Kazuya meets up with Yuji and Takeshi, who have similarly found themselves directly involved, allies with a resistance led by Yuka intent on keeping Gotou or the American military from destroying the country in their struggle, and discover that Yuriko is an agent working for Gotou. Eventually, Ambassador Thorman, the commander of the American forces in Japan, is revealed to be Thor in disguise, a high ranking agent of God working to bring about the Millennium Kingdom, a plan to bring about an eternal paradise for God’s followers, at the cost of the lives of all who do not worship Him.

In an attempt to rid Japan of the demons, Thor has a cluster of ICBMs launched at Tokyo, and with no other way to escape, Yuka is forced to send Kazuya, Yuji, and Takeshi to the Diamond Realm, a section of the Expanse ruled over by En no Ozuno, in order to save their lives. After escaping from the Diamond Realm, the trio discover that thirty years have passed in the time they’ve been away, that demons continue to infest the ruins of Tokyo, and that the remaining human population has been reduced to taking shelter within the ruins of Tokyo’s wards, with only two cults holding any significant power: the Messians, devout followers of God who attempt to provide charitable services to the wasteland, yet ultimately wish to continue the plan to bring about the Millennium Kingdom at any cost, through the creation of the Basilica, an enormous cathedral that will ultimately be used to summon God Himself, and the Gaeans, followers of the fallen angel Lucifer who seek to prevent the creation of the Millennium Kingdom and restore the old gods that God once banished to the Expanse to power, yet ultimately prove to be obsessed with power above all else, happily oppressing anyone weaker than themselves and resisting any attempts to build a proper society.

Confronted with the seemingly hopeless nature of the wasteland, and the lack of obvious other powers besides these two extremist groups, Kazuya’s group begins to fracture, with Takeshi’s lust for power driving him to discard his humanity and ally with the Gaeans, while Yuji’s kind, yet naive nature causes him to become taken in by the Messians’ stated goals, while failing to see the sinister forces that drive them. In the end, Kazuya is forced to make a decision: ally with the Messians, and bring about a peaceful, lawful society for those who believe in God’s salvation, at the exclusion of all others, ally with the Gaeans and create a world a truly chaotic and free world for the strongest of men and demons, or, against all odds, take a neutral stance, attempting to keep law and chaos in balance, at the cost of making enemies of both factions and risking becoming an extremist little different from them.

To cut to the chase, a very large part of what made SMT1 so notable when it came out was the sheer bleakness and complexity of its setting and writing. What certainly could have been a straightforward story of good versus evil is instead a tale of the dangers of ideological extremism, and how any cause, regardless of its intentions, will only cause more harm than good if it does not know how to moderate itself. While the different subseries of the franchise tend to prefer their own messages, and the later games in the series usually pick one specific faction to theme their stories around, for the most part, this is the foundation later games would follow. Law and Chaos, despite both having their fair points, are simply too dangerous to trust with humanity’s future, and Neutrality, even if not good, at least removes the most dangerous elements from the world. While it does draw from Megami Tensei II’s plot quite a bit, and frankly has gotten more than a bit repetitive over the decades, it’s still very impressive for something from a 1992 game, and even more so considering plenty of games afterwards were, and still are, more than happy with binary, blatant good and evil morality systems. The cast also set many standards for the series, such as the general personalities of the Law and Chaos representatives, and the recurring character of Stephen, the inexplicably ageless scientist who totally isn’t based on Stephen Hawking and provides you with COMP upgrades throughout the game. It also gave some more distinct identities to certain demons, such as Belial and Nebiros being the caretakers of Alice, who makes her debut her as well, and the four archangels, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael, being God’s highest ranked agents, though there are a few wonky things, like demons like Thor, Odin, and freaking Loki being Law aligned.

That said, while it’s probably fairer to them than some other games in the series, the portrayal of the factions is still far from perfectly balanced. While the Law faction is actually pretty well written, with a decent amount of good actions and intentions that almost make them seem appealing, contrasted by the brutal methods they employ to achieve their ultimate goals that surpass what Chaos ever manages, Chaos does not fair nearly as well. Besides Takeshi, who’s still a much more abrasive, petty, and violent character than Yuji, and, if you’re feeling generous, Yuriko, there is no Chaos aligned character who comes off as even somewhat decent. Yama, who’s taken it upon himself to judge the crimes of humanity, and claims that the use of the COMP to control demons is akin to slavery? Gladly lets you go free when Chaos aligned, showing that “crimes” are only worth punishing when they aren’t done to further his cause. The various endgame bosses like Surt, Astaroth, Arioch, and Asura, who claim to stand for freedom and fight against the suppression of emotion that God desires? Declare you a mindless puppet and try to kill you for willingly siding with Law or Neutrality, bitterly refusing to accept their own defeats afterwards, showing that they only respect the freedom and power of those who choose to benefit them. Even Lucifer, who appears a few times throughout the game in the guise of Louise Cypher, who usually comes off as at least somewhat reasonable and sympathetic? Repeatedly tries to lure you into getting killed, just for not explicitly siding with him. Obviously, the other members and bosses of Law are just as hypocritical and manipulative in many ways, but the fact that even the regular, random NPC Gaeans vocally stand for destruction and the violent oppression of others, with nothing to indicate they really intend on anything beyond that, makes Chaos come off as the blatantly evil faction of the bunch, way more than was probably intended.

This also just ties into a bigger overall problem with the story, namely that it’s just way too dark and depressing for its own good. While focusing both on a present day and post apocalyptic setting is actually pretty unique for the series, more than anything, it just rubs in how much the characters lose over the course of the game. Allies and loved ones die, vanish, or leave you for the sake of their own goals, and sensible people appear less and less the deeper you get into the game, conventional morality nearly totally stamped out by the extremists’ pursuit of their goals. Additionally, it ties into another big problem I have with the alignment system, namely that the story barely changes before the endgame, no matter who you choose to align with. Ally with Thor and kill Gotou, the source of the demons infesting Tokyo and swearing allegiance to God? He nukes Tokyo anyway, and leaves you for dead for good measure, for no apparent reason. Help Echidna, who seeks to destroy the Basilica entirely, by killing the angel Aniel? She doesn’t go through with it in the end, making that choice completely pointless for a pure story standpoint. While obviously technical limitations, and the many constraints of storytelling, mean that only so much variation is possible, it also means that no matter what you try to do, the world ends up in an absolutely horrible state, to the point that the Neutral route doesn’t really accomplish anything besides keeping anyone else from winning. It’s more than enough to kill any real investment in the story. That said, while it does fall flat in places, the story of SMT1 still deserves credit for what it does accomplish, and it does manage to be a properly harrowing experience.

Gameplay:

The basic gameplay of SMT1 is pretty similar to that of Megami Tensei I and II, and since I’ve written reviews of them, which you can read here and here, I won’t go into a ton of detail on it. The bulk of the gameplay is first person exploration, in the style of Wizardry, with a world map that you traverse in between locations. You have six party slots total, with demons being able to occupy three of these slots at a time, later upgraded to four, and the methods of acquiring demons is either recruiting them after encountering them on the world map or in other areas, or fusing two or three of them into a new demon, as demons cannot level up or use equipment. Summoning demons requires money, and keeping them summoned outside of the world map requires magnetite, with demons taking damaged when magnetite runs out. Your human party members can equip both melee weapons and guns, and use either to attack in battle, and attacking generally consists of wildly swinging at whichever enemy the AI decides to target, which is pretty annoying when enemies appear in large numbers. It’s very standard early SMT fare, and frankly, it’s not very interesting. Not busted like some combat systems, but very far from being one of my favorites.

That said, SMT1 does make some notable improvements and additions compared to the older games, some of which are unfortunately only present in the PSX and GBA versions. The party system has been altered to be more akin to Wizardry, with the first three slots representing the front row, and the latter three slots representing the back row, with whoever is in the back row taking less damage from physical attacks. Demon abilities are now clearly divided between magic and extra abilities, the latter of which take the form of attacks like fire breath, group hitting physical attacks, or charging, and are now freely selectable to use in battle, unlike earlier games, where the use of them was completely random. Stats have undergone a slight tweak, with there now being six in total instead of five: strength, which influences the power of physical attacks, intelligence, which influences max MP and magic defense, magic, which influences magic attack, with both of these combined influencing the rate at which a character learns spells, vitality, which influences defense and the maximum HP of a character, agility, which influences the speed, accuracy, evasion, and defense of a character, and luck, which influences miscellaneous elements the critical hit rate or chance to ambush enemy demons. The mechanics of guns have also been changed, as besides the properties of the guns themselves, which have different potential target amounts and base damage, they also require bullets to work, which, alongside differing damage values of their own, can also come with special effects, namely inflicting status ailments like sleep or stone.

Compared to MT1 and 2, however, where every stat was useful to level for both human party members, the changes to stats here encourages much more specialization. Magic is completely worthless to Kazuya, as intelligence is what helps with demon negotiation, and luck is really only useful on him. Additionally, while melee weapons do end up stronger by the end, for the vast majority of the game, you’ll likely only find yourself using guns to attack, except in cases where it’s simply not effective. Guns that can target multiple enemies are pretty easy to come by, the status effects they deal can be devastating, and, most importantly, it’s extremely difficult to come across melee weapons most of the time. Knife stores, your initial source of melee weapons, completely vanish after the apocalypse, and the only source besides a few weapons from scripted events or treasure chests are from enemy drops, which aren’t frequent enough to rely on. Therefore, agility ends up way more useful than strength before the endgame. Ironically, this is the exact opposite of MT2′s situation, where guns were near useless past the early game, even considering the even lower frequency of weapon drops.

Since I’ve mentioned demon negotiation, that’s something that’s gotten a large overhaul. In earlier games, it was a simple affair, just a little menu of choices to either try to bribe the demon to your side, persuade or soothe them to increase your chances of success, or attempt to threaten them into joining. Here, however, things have become much more complex. Instead of instantly being presented with a menu like before, you’re now forced to persuade whatever demon you’ve encountered to even hear you out in the first place. Before beginning your attempts at negotiation, you can choose to take either a friendly tone, or a threatening tone, with each leading to different sorts of conversations. Demons also have several different possibly personalities, though each specific demon type will always have the same personality, meaning that Shuten Doji, for instance, will always have a “grumpy old man” personality, while Rangda will always have a “haughty noblewoman” personality. While there are certain paths that always seem to end in failure, and ones that have greater chances of success, and you can learn what answers to take for the most consistent results overtime, unfortunately, it still just comes down to pure RNG in the end, with demons sometimes aggressively fighting off all your attempts to please them. Once you do get through to them, you can either ask them for money, magnetite, request that they leave, or ask them to join you, at the cost of resources like money, magnetite, healing items, and gemstones. All of these tend to give better results if you really manage to make a demon like you beforehand, tending to give larger amounts of money and magnetite, along with usually requiring less resources to get them to join you. You can also threaten them to join you for free if you take the intimidating route, but this usually requires you to be several dozens of levels above your target to have even a chance to work. While it’s a lot more interesting than the old system, it’s also much, much more frustrating to deal with.

SMT1 also made vast improvements to the amount of demons that are recruitable, thanks to the overhaul of the alignment system. In the earlier games, alignment only went so far as evil, neutral, and good, with evil demons being completely unrecruitable, neutral demons being recruitable through negotiation or fusion, and good demons only being acquirable through fusion, only showing up as enemies in a few very specific instances between both games. In SMT1, however, moral alignment was changed to dark, neutral, and light. Neutral demons work the same, as do light demons, for the most part, only being obtainable through fusion, as they simply refuse to listen to you even in the rare instances you encounter them as enemies. What’s significantly changed is dark demons, as while they still can’t be obtained through negotiation, they can now be obtained through fusion, with only a few exceptions among them all, like the Undead race, the Fiends, who make their debut in this game, and most of the Foul face. Therefore, while there’s only 255 demons in the game, not counting bosses, compared to MT1′s 142 and MT2′s 250 demons, 237 are obtainable for your party, compared to 65 in MT1 and 129 in MT2, which, needless to say, is a gigantic step forward.

But of course, the far more significant change to alignment is the addition of Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments to the mix. Every demon has an ideological alignment along with their moral alignment, with the vast majority belonging to either Law or Chaos. Through the player’s actions, Kazuya’s own alignment can be changed, either through big story events, such as agreeing to kill Thor for Gotou, or vice versa, or smaller actions, like choosing to use the services of Messian, Gaean, or Neutral healing ashrams. While, as I said, the overall story doesn’t change much depending on your alignment, it absolutely changes your experience in terms of gameplay. Not only do you fight different bosses depending on your alignment, with a Neutral playthrough having the potential to fight every single one of them, but the demons you can use, and the ways you can acquire them, changes too. Law aligned characters are restricted to Law and Neutral demons, as Chaos demons reject all attempts to recruit them, and while they can be fused, they aren’t useable in combat. This applies vice versa in the case of Chaos, while Neutral characters can use demons of any alignment. Ashrams that match your alignment cost less to use, so you’ll find yourself hanging around areas with Ashrams that match you, and the differences in stats and abilities that each race tends to have makes for very different parties. It doesn’t mean you can completely ignore one faction’s demons, as more powerful races like Deities and Tenmas very often require demons of the opposite alignment to fuse, but it’s impressive just how many ways your alignment affects the way you play the game, to a degree many other games can’t match.

Fusion has also been tweaked a bit. Along with retaining double, triple, and special fusion, though the latter has been reduced to fusing Cherub, Throne, and Dominion for Uriel and Barong and Rangda for Shiva, marking the debut of that latter method, there’s also a new type of fusion called sword fusion, involving combining a specific couple of special swords with specific demons to make stronger one. Knowledge of this mechanic and what you can use with it can easily get you the Hinokagutsuchi, one of the strongest weapons in the game, and the strongest one you can reasonably acquire, as soon as you obtain its base form, the Kusanagi, but nothing in the game ever indicates what demons work with it, meaning that for those playing blind, it’s either an extreme form of trial and error, or a completely ignored mechanic. Human enemies that can be recruited like demons have also been added, with the special ability of producing a random result when fused with any demon. You can see this in advance, so you’re not just shooting yourself in the foot, and often it’ll result in something weaker than you need, but there are times these random results can save you a lot of effort. This game is also the debut of the system of unlocking boss demons for fusion by defeating them, though it’s really inconsistent. Demons like Vishnu and the Archangels can indeed only be fused by defeating them, but Yama, an optional boss assuming you’re either Chaos or Neutral aligned, is fuseable no matter what, even though Niou, a boss you also fight if you choose to fight Yama, is locked out of fusing otherwise. By contrast, Ravana, a story boss for Law and Neutral, is also only fuseable after beating him, but Indrajit, a separate boss who fights you immediately after Ravana, is fuseable well beforehand. These inconsistencies can be pretty maddening, and the lack of anything in the game to indicate this mechanic even exists makes it even worse.

Frankly, maddening is the perfect word to describe this game. All things considered, it’s easier and less punishing than MT1 and 2 in many ways. The effectiveness of guns makes dealing with hordes of enemies much easier, and light demons are generally very useful. It’s just that there’s so many frustrating elements throughout. The encounter rate, while more than tolerable early on, becomes so much worse after the apocalypse, with encounters happening on the world map literally every few steps. Sometimes, random encounters will actually turn out to be two or three encounters in a row, as in, enemies pop in immediately afterwards without even leaving the battle screen. Equipment is so absurdly expensive that there’s almost no way to afford it besides negotiating money out of random encounters for hours on end. While some dungeons can go on a little long, but are overall tolerable, the final dungeon, the Basilica, is a sixteen floor behemoth that can literally eat up an entire day all by itself, all while the most obnoxious track in the game plays over it. It’s the worst final dungeon I’ve ever gone through in a game, and having to do so three separate times nearly destroyed my sanity. The game also really doesn’t like to make it clear what you’re supposed to do at times, with a few easily forgotten NPCs giving you hints at best. For example, the first location you’re supposed to go through after the apocalypse, Shinjuku, requires you to talk to a specific NPC hidden in a side area you may well not even know about before you can challenge its boss, despite him not telling you anything more than the other NPCs scattered around the area. It’s not terrible, since there’s no encounters within Shinjuku at this time, but it’s needlessly a cryptic moment if you’re not intent on mapping out the whole area and speaking to absolutely everyone. There’s also just tons of moments of obscurity that you’d never figure out without looking up a guide. Beyond sword fusion, there’s sidequests like an optional boss, Kazfiel, who can be fought in Tokyo Tower as a Chaos or Neutral character after the Aniel and Echidna incidents, but only if you haven’t visited it beforehand, which is a pointlessly cruel move when it’s an out of the way area most likely wouldn’t even find without trying to explore on their own. There’s also buildings that get rebuilt and offer you a choice of three items late in the game, but said items get swapped out for rare equipment if you visit during specific moon phases. Obviously, the game never even hints that this could happen, or what phases to visit each building during. The best set of Neutral armor can be found on the world map by visiting the mansions of the Four Devas after meeting Taira no Masakado, himself an optional, hidden NPC, but nothing in the game indicates this process could lead to anything. The crowning moment of awfulness, however, goes to the mechanics of the Fiends. In certain areas, specific tiles with trigger forced fights. Most of the time, it’s a generic enemy you could encounter elsewhere in the area, but rarely, it’ll be a stronger and sometimes exclusive enemy, such as Bigfoot or Cyak, and even more rarely, as in, a 1/256 chance, you’ll encounter one of the three Fiends, Pale Rider, Daisoujou, and David. These enemies give massive amounts of experience, and have a chance to drop some of the most powerful weapons in the game, but said drop rate is apparently also 1/256, which translates to something that would destroy your life if you really wanted it.

And really, there’s no reason to destroy your life over them anyway, because the game is already pretty damn broken, in your favor. For a basic example, the Zio line of spells has a very high chance of electrocuting anyone hit by them, causing them to skip their turn if hit before they can act. Yuka learns Zio spells, and you’ll likely be leveling her agility quite high anyway. Do the math. Assuming you can get it, which isn’t difficult to do once you know what demons you need for it, the Hinokagutsuchi is disgusting broken for the point at which you can make it, and remains so even up to the end of the game. And while the sheer power of most endgame demons can be excused, since you have to make them yourself, there’s two examples that absolutely cannot. On the Chaos route, you outright directed in an unmissable encounter towards Beelzebub, one of the absolute strongest demons in the game, who proceeds to join you for free, regardless of your level. That’s bad enough, but the Law route feels like the developers just stopped caring by the end. Not only are you directed to recruit Vishnu, the actual best demon, for free, but you are required to recruit Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel as well, all of whom are also some of the absolute best demons in the game. Sure, you have to give them up to access Asura, the final boss of Law, but nothing’s stopping you from sweeping the entire rest of the dungeon with this team before them. Even without these free boons, you’ll be strong enough by the end of the game that most encounters are just annoyances, and the bosses give tons of EXP, without being nearly strong enough to justify it. While it’s nice that the game doesn’t try to be impossible, it honestly just makes the experience even more boring by the end. Most bosses boil down to Yuka casting Zionga until either she runs out of MP or the boss dies, and most bosses can do so much damage that it almost feels like it’s intended. All of these elements come together to make one of the most draining gaming experiences I’ve ever gone through, to the point I had to take multi month long breaks inbetween playthroughs, not helped by just how long each playthrough takes.

Finally, to touch on some of the features exclusive to the ports of this game, the most convenient addition is being able to access the automap just by pressing the L button, when originally, the feature was kept behind several menus, which was horrible. That alone justifies not playing the SNES version to me. Additionally, a colored bar is present near the bottom of the screen during exploration that indicates how likely you are to get into an encounter, turning more and more red the closer you are to an encounter. That doesn’t mean it’s always accurate, as you can easily get into an encounter a single step after getting out of one, but it does help. Finally, and most notably, is the addition of A-Mode DDS, a sort of extras menu. Not only does it contain multiplayer functionality that I barely understand, but it also gives access to a demon dictionary, which allows you to see the stats of an demon you’ve encountered across any of your playthroughs, as well as read upon on their lore, like later Demon Compendiums in the series. There’s also the Visionary, a movie gallery of sort that shows extra cutscenes made specifically for the GBA port. To watch these, however, special key items need to be found within the main game. These are shared across all save files, and a good chunk of them are dropped by bosses, but many others are found in what are otherwise empty rooms and areas in earlier ports, appear only after certain events are triggered, or only become available after completing the game, possibly with a specific route, at that. The optimal route order for acquiring them all is Law, then Chaos, then ending with Neutral. Honestly, for the effort you have to put in to get them all, they unfortunately don’t add a ton. Some of them help clear up tiny questions left unanswered otherwise, or give additional characterization to the cast or bosses, but there’s nothing super important there, and others are just plain filler. There’s nothing wrong with just looking up a video of them if you don’t want to go through the effort of getting them all. Finally, beating the Chaos route specifically unlocks the Demon Bank at the Cathedral of Shadows, the location where demons are fused, which allows you to store a number of demons to take out whenever you want. While you can’t use this to get ahold of multiple copies of one demon, it’s actually very helpful, as you’re limited to holding a pretty small number of demons for a good chunk of the game, and saving a demon you could use for fusing something else later helps a ton. It’s definitely one of the most helpful additions, though why Chaos specifically unlocks it is beyond me. Overall, it’s not wrong to call SMT1′s gameplay dated, because it is in many, many ways. While it does take some important steps forward, it also retains a lot of the worst elements of RPGs from this era, and I don’t blame most people from wanting to avoid dealing with it all.

Graphics:

The SNES version of SMT1 also drew heavily from Wizardry in terms of its visuals, by which I mean it looked really, really bad. Both the world map and first person areas looked really bland, with Kazuya’s room, for instance, only having a computer, and otherwise being a bunch of blank walls. Not only was it monotonous, but it often looked extremely unfitting for what the areas were supposed to be. Thankfully, the PSX and GBA versions made massive improvements over this. The world map looks much better, and areas actually look distinct and sensible, with special rooms often having special prerendered backgrounds to represent just what they’re supposed to be. Obviously, the GBA limitations make these look very crunchy at times, but a bit of crunch is still preferable to a bunch of blank, identical walls. It also added a few neat effects, like the camera slowly scrolling upwards upon encountering the bosses within the Basilica, doing a very good job of conveying the sense of scale and importance to them. Sure, the increased saturation of GBA games hurts the atmosphere a bit, but it’s hardly a deal breaker. Plus, the scrolling while moving is much smoother than in the SNES version.

The character sprites, on the other hand, continue to be smudgy, lacking in detail, and overall just, bad. Honestly, I feel like they look the most tolerable in this version. The lower resolution and general crunchiness of the other visuals make them fit in better, while they look terrible in the PSX version, with its fully 3D environments. The demon sprites, on the other hand, are much better. While MT2 was already a big step forward, this was where Kaneko really started getting their designs down. Demons like Michaeal and the other Archangels, Jack Frost, Arahabaki, Beelzebub, or at least his Baal Zebul form, Decarabia, Nebiros, and Abaddon received their iconic designs here, while others like Belial, Cu Chulainn, Shiva, Mara (no, I’m not posting what that, and yes, it looks exactly like you’d expect), and Surt getting designs at least pretty close to what would come later. The sprites in general just look really nice, and while most of them do use the same body templates, plenty actually avoid being pure palette swaps, with Stonka and Rakcharango having their distinguishing eye and demon mark, respectively, which manages to keep them looking distinct. That said, there’s still cases of blatant palette swapping. Barong and Rangda still look the same, Indra is blatantly a swap of Zouchouten, Koumokuten, Jikokuten, and Bishamonten, who are already palette swaps of each other, and so forth. The worst case is with the angels of the Divine race. Angel and Throne look the same, and Power, Virtue, and Dominion are identical as well, something that’s very easy to notice if you upgrade them in a linear order. Archangel’s design, which is otherwise unique among the Divines, get reused for Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel when they’re in your party, which leaves Cherub as the only one that actually has a unique design. I get that space and technical limitations play a part in this, but it’s hard to ignore. Still, that sums up SMT1′s visuals, a mixed bag with some parts that look great, and some parts that just don’t.

Music:

The SNES version of SMT1 has a very distinctive soundtrack, thanks to just having a very distinct, metallic sort of sound to it that shows up in almost every song. It makes for a very good soundtrack that I love to listen to, with songs like the battle theme, the haunting Law theme, the Cathedral of Shadows’ theme, the theme of the mansions of the four devas, and of course, the Ginza theme sticking out to me. Of course, the GBA’s sound capabilities were far below that of the SNES, and the soundtracks of many SNES to GBA ports came out pretty bad because of it. All things considered, though, I feel like this one is pretty well done in comparison. Definitely not better overall, but most tracks manage to retain their feels, including those that I mentioned above. I’d even say I prefer a few tracks in the GBA version over the SNES version. The Neutral theme, for instance, is downright obnoxious in the SNES version, but is actually pretty calming in the GBA version. Ginza also sounds pretty great, and the level up theme, which was pretty offputting original, sounds more fitting now. I have to commend the porting team, they managed to make convert it all pretty well.

Conclusion:

Overall, would I recommend SMT1 to most people? No. Even to people who like modern mainline SMT, this one is a type of brutal I would not even think of trying to put others through. If you’re really, really curious about how it all started, and have the necessary patience, you might be able to get through it, but seriously, just do yourself a favor and just do a single playthrough as Neutral. There’s not enough else to warrant repeat playthroughs. Still, even if it was miserable for me to go through, it was a hugely ambitious game for its time, and its influence on the series is still evident today, and for that, I can respect that.

Sorry about my bratstard son (Luke), he probably kins Draco Malfoy or something (it's a joke, please, I haven't read HP in over a decade)

On the other hand, love Mammon standing up for his emotions, even if it's absolutely detrimental to Lucifer's health and his own well-being. Honestly, good job bb, be the mildly sane one here.

LUKE IS A DRACO MALFOY KINNIE-

“My Michael will hear about this!”

And yay! I’m so glad people like Mam standing up for his own sanity lol

Hello…? Hello..? This is stupid thing on..?! Oh!- Uh, hi!

Greetings and salutations guys, gals, and non-binary and neo-pronoun using pals - The name is Reese, or Ray, whatever ya like honestly.

I began writing fanfiction 2-3 years ago in the Harry Potter fandom, but that slowly fizzled out cause, y’know, cough cough burnout… But now I’m back, more enthusiastic than before!

This blog is for Hazbin Hotel for now, but that may or may not change in the future.

But enough fic talk, this show is about me!

I’m not too good at explaining myself, or introducing myself, so this may be a bit over sharing or under sharing depending on how far into this I get, so apologies in advanced, friends.

As y’know, the name is Reese (or Ray) and I’m 16 (17 in a few months) and am a junior in high school.

I’m a theatre kid, I don’t consider myself an impeccable singer (despite what others say), but I will admit, I can hold a small tune. I also am kinda sporty kinda guy. I play baseball and hockey as of recently.

This is probably either the most unique or lame thing about me depending on who’s talking, but I love biking, I even own a motorcycle (I just bought it a few weeks ago 🙏). Probably one of the best ways to spend my time.

I’m very family oriented and I love my friends, including my online friends! So if anyone wants to be friends, hmu ig lol.
