Actually writing for my fanfic blog ❌
Doing a low-quality analytics project ✔
I was talking to someone about the Obey Me! Character songs and I got curious about which ones were the most popular.
I've included the brothers' songs solo songs, the side character's songs, and the unit songs. Songs such as 'Sinful Indulgence' and 'Celestial Ray' were left out because I couldn't find the same data.
I used 3 different sources; the views for the"Song Title-Topic" section, the views of the most popular English translation video of each song, as well as how many streams each song got on Spotify.
Then I averaged the total views from those 3 categories over how many days each song has been out.
The numbers for this were taken down on June 22, 2022 (in case that's somehow relevant-)
So, first up: The brothers.
Are You Ready (Mammon)-10,274 views/day
Dreamscape (Belphegor)-8,342 views/day
Pomade (Asmodeus)-6,940 views/day
Arcadia (Lucifer)-5,670 views/day
Read My Heart (Satan)-5,083 views/day
My Chance (Leviathan)- 4,922 views/day
Hungry Six-Pack (Beelzebub)- 4,263 views/day
Mammon coming in first isn't surprising. Every poll I've seen regarding the demon brothers had Mammon as the overall favorite. Same with Belphie. We've got our protector...and Belphie in the top spots.
No one EVER tell Satan his song is behind Lucifer's.
As for the unit songs:
It's My Party! (All the demon brothers)-11,453 views/day
Passion (Lucifer/Satan)-6,453 views/day
Choose Me (Mammon, Levi, Asmodeus)-4,975 views/day
Telepathy (Beelzebub, Belphegor)-3,946 views/day
Eternal (All the demon brothers)-3,494 views/day
It's My Party! in first by a landslide isn't that surprising either. It's a bop. As for Eternal...I don't even think I've read the full translation. I did NOT come to this game to get into the feels-
Passion coming in second...pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the fandom.
And lastly, the side character's songs:
Crazy About You (Barbatos)-11,523 views/day
No. 1 (Diavlo)-8,803 views/day
Our Destiny (Solomon)- 7,459 views/day
Question Love (Simeon)-4,207 views/day
My Wish (Luke)-2,998 views/day
I'm extremely disappointed in all of us not supporting our son's music career better.
And now, the moment that *literally no one* has been waiting for: All the rankings together.
Crazy About You (Barbatos)- 11,523 views/day
It's My Party! (All the demon brothers)- 11,453 views/day
Are You Ready (Mammon)-10,274 views/day
No. 1 (Diavlo)-8,803 views/day
Dreamscape (Belphegor)-8,342 views/day
Our Destiny (Solomon)- 7,459 views/day
Pomade (Asmodeus)-6,940 views/day
Passion (Lucifer/Satan)-6,453 views/day
Arcadia (Lucifer)-5,670 views/day
Read My Heart (Satan)-5,083 views/day
Choose Me (Mammon, Levi, Asmodeus)-4,975 views/day
My Chance (Leviathan)- 4,922 views/day
Hungry Six-Pack (Beelzebub)- 4,263 views/day
Question Love (Simeon)-4,207 views/day
Telepathy (Beelzebub, Belphegor)-3,946 views/day
Eternal (All the demon brothers)-3,494 views/day
My Wish (Luke)-2,998 views/day
Not gonna lie, I'm kind of shocked that Barbatos' song was the most popular out of all of them. I figured it was going to be Mammon's or 'It's My Party!'.
I don't really have a good way to conclude this post...so...I hope you found this interesting :D

lucifer is a very particular man.
he wakes up early to enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning, the way the house of lamentation creaks wearily in the silence while his brothers sleep sounds in the their respective rooms. it's sobering. for a moment, he gets to be alone with his thoughts before the day begins.
he'll walk to the bathroom and clean himself up for the day in silence, before dressing and making his way to the kitchen. he appreciates the little things. the silence, the warm light illuminating his room as he unhurriedly prepares for the day, the way the permanent darkness of the devildom retreats ever so slightly as morning breaks. it's nice.
but when he enters the kitchen, lucifer realizes something is wrong. it takes him a minute to realize it, but when he does, his lips curl downwards into a disappointed frown. the kitchen is completely dormant. it doesn't seem like an issue, but it's a stark difference from his usual routine. because this morning, the smell of coffee is absent from the air.
that's right. you spent the night at purgatory hall last night, didn't you?
your relationship is a cycle of small, considerate gestures back and forth. notes on mirrors, doodles on post-it notes, and his favorite-- coffee prepped and scheduled to brew for him in the mornings before he wakes. it's a gesture that has always made him feel loved. he didn't realize how much a missed day would sour his mood.
lucifer starts to brew his own coffee, but his fingers hang suspended over the grounds a few moments before he abandons the idea altogether. he pulls his D.D.D. out of his packet and drafts a short text to you, only satisfied when he hears the whoosh of the message sent.
i missed your coffee this morning. it's never as good when i have to make it myself. message me once you wake up-- we're going to that cafe we like down the street to make up for it.

Diavolo loves dressing up his lover in pretty jewelry. He loves seeing shiny gold, the same as what adorns his horns and forearms, laying across your skin and complementing your features. Seeing his colors on your skin feeds his possessiveness, makes him feel like he has his claim on you. Of course, he likes to mark you in other ways, bite marks and hickeys and cumming across your skin, but this is a nice option for more... public claims. He's also partial to the way the light catches on the jewelry, particularly when he's fucking you hard. It's almost hypnotic, watching your jewelry swing with the force of his thrusts, and it's easy for him to get lost in his movements until you're begging him to slow down, ease up, just any kind of mercy as he pounds into your sore body. But he can't help it, he just adores the sight of you as you're underneath him, sweat and gold shining together as he moulds you to the shape of his cock over and over, the most beautiful sight he's ever seen.

Ive had a theory OM NB the main villain is GOD... and he was the one who brought MC back and to fix the Adam thing. Like MC being powerful and God wanting MC on the Angels side if a whole out war breaks out between the 3 realms.
This will never happen but if...
Too much SPN and im going to write a fic
Iove your blog
While we don't really know who Nightbringer is yet, whether they're technically an antagonist or really meant it about bringing us to where we can be "happy" or what, one thing we are pretty confident about is that, for the story of both original and NB Obey Me, we are not on the side of God/angels.
(some Nightbringer spoilers below the cut)
Like, we're *dating* seven former high-ranking angels who rebelled and got kicked out of the Celestial Realm -- and Season 1 served to show the unforgiving cruelty of God/the Celestial Realm, with the case of Lilith as the example that was the catalyst for the war. It is never suggested to MC that the rebellion was anything less than justified. Then, one of Michael's first reactions to MC is to say that he assumed we would be a truly wicked person, for being close with the brothers.
Tumblr media
Plus, Simeon's punishment was to lose his angel status (after already being demoted once before), and in Season 3, God is shown to be his greatest fear.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now Solomon is pleading to MC very seriously to choose not angels or demons, but humans. Thus, it seems that God is at least not very kind, and moreover, literally none of the dateable characters would ask of us to side with him. So, yeah, probably at least some kind of antagonistic.
That said, we don't think he's the "main" antagonist...? Not that it isn't possible, but Obey Me has generally stuck to Michael and Diavolo as the acting leaders of their respective realms, with little to no direct involvement from either God or the Demon King at any point while MC has been around, and that's probably for the purpose of having narrative parallel characters between the realms. So we're likely not going to see him play such a big direct role, even if he'll sort of invisibly be represented.
All we can say for sure is that we would in fact fight God if it came down to it. 🥰

levi but his demon form is a small snake. dont get me wrong, i love a big monsterous guy but imagine... tiny guy.
tiny enough to crawl in your lap. tiny enough to fit around your arm, tiny enough to nap on your shoulder. tiny enough to be carried with you trough entire days. just big enough to place soft kisses on the top of his head.

-9pm-
Inside the box lay a ring, one with a gold band and a singular, large, white marquis cut diamond mounted high on it, adorned with two small Burma rubies on either side of the center stone.
Instantly you turned around to see Lucifer down on one knee, looking up at you.
"MC, will you do me the extreme honor of becoming my wife, for now and all time?"
Badum.
You didn't have to think about it. There was nothing to consider. You'd told him once how you felt about the subject. Every memory of you and Lucifer flooded with only seconds in between each image. The night you made a pact. Your first kiss. The first time you two made love. When you two got back together. His first gift to you, the earrings. The ball where you two danced, then he made love to you in tandem with Diavolo. The night you became a demon, the way he looked at you with abandon and pride, forgetting he was in the company of others. Every night you shared together, every morning you two had coffee in silence. It was all there, the answer all along, never wavering, never ceasing, never waning. Pure, unadulterated, unbridled, unconditional love.
"Yes."
Lucifer took the ring from the box, and you instinctively held out your right hand, and he placed it on your ring finger. Slowly, he came to his feet and held your right hand in his.
You finally looked up to find his crimson eyes wide with what looked to be awe and admiration, maybe a touch of shock, too. With your other hand, you reached up and cupped his cheek. He finally came back to reality and softened once more, leaning into your touch.
"My bride," he murmured. You smiled, pulling him down for a sweet kiss.
"My groom," you muttered back against his lips. He pulled you into his full embrace, his hands wrapped around on your shoulder and waist as he sought to engulf you completely.
"In body and soul," he whispered.
"For now, and forever," you whispered back. It felt as though he was nearly trembling. You held him tighter, your fingers splayed on his shoulder blades.
Unable to help himself, he buried his face in your neck, planting kisses and nibbling at your divine flesh. Your tiny moans filled his ears only, causing him to only clutch you tighter. Both of your internal infernos burned brightly in the presence of the other, feeling complete yet needing the other closer.
Lucifer moved his head around, and while keeping his tight hold on you, he dipped you down, causing you to lean backward into his arms. He kissed you more, his tongue slipping in to greet yours lovingly. Though he wanted to take you then, he would have to wait as well.
You two remained that way for a while, exchanging words of love and adoration, promises of eternity, and sometimes just in loving silence as you held one another. It was pure bliss to be like this, knowing that finally, after all this time, after everything that happened between you two, had led to this moment.
"So this is my gift then?" You asked tearfully and playfully, running your fingers through his obsidian locks.
"Do you like it?" He whispered, nuzzling his nose against yours.
"It's perfect. It's very... us," you replied softly.
"I'm glad. When you told me there was nothing I could give you, I knew there was one thing I had to give: a promise of eternal commitment with me," he murmured.
"Did you really have to be so secretive?" You asked, reaching down to pull on his lapel. His hands wandered down to your lower back, just above your rear.
"Mm, of course. I couldn't have you ruining the surprise," he answered.
"And... Did you know...?" You trailed off, unsure about if it would ruin the moment to ask about Diavolo's gift.
"I did," was all he said. You knew it was more than that. Lucifer likely had figured you would say yes to him given what you received earlier than evening.
"Thank you for everything," you whispered. He nodded and kissed you passionately, drawing you in so close that neither of you could really breathe. You suddenly broke away with a laugh.
"Wait, did I really have to spend my day with Mephistopheles because you and everyone else were planning this yesterday?"
Lucifer groaned. "That was Diavolo's idea, not mine, and I barely agreed to it. We didn't want him catching wind of what we had planned. Otherwise, he'd stick his nose in it."
"Tsk, and there I was thinking about hanging out with him after being ditched," you retorted.
"Anything but that. I couldn't take it if another demon started wanting you, too. There's hardly enough of you to go around as it is," Lucifer teased but also bemoaned the idea.
You shook your head and laughed, like music to his ears, as it rang out in the quiet of night. Suddenly, you fell serious and peered at your new ring, glittering under the moon.
"We're getting married," you whispered in near disbelief.
"Indeed, and I hope you don't plan on changing your mind. Now that you've said yes, I have no intention of letting you get out of it," he murmured seductively.
"Oh? And what if I had said no?"
"I seem to recall you telling me that you were interested in a permanent commitment. I highly doubted saying no was a possibility," he replied a little hotly.
"Maybe it was about the ring," you replied.
"Hm, I suppose, though, I seemed to have found your phone open one day to a visual discovery app where there was a section called "Lucifer" with, what was it? Rings, dresses, flower arrangements, décor–"
"Okay! So you found my Sintrest," you interrupted with an eyeroll and slight panic. You made that board when you and Lucifer had first started dating, so it was a bit embarrassing to know he had found it.
He chuckled and brought his face close to yours again. "I love you," he whispered, gazing at you lovingly, his gaze the softest it had looked in some time.
"I love you," you replied. His lips collided with yours once more to wordlessly remind you of the depths of his love.
"So, she said no, right?" Diavolo teased from the steps of the gazebo after just under an hour since Lucifer had appeared.
Your eyes rolled, and Lucifer made a show of making out with you more feverishly and groping you to make a point. The smile that graced your lips couldn't be helped; he was just being too cute. You had to be the one to break away, still holding his hand. Looking back at Diavolo, you softened.
"Thank you," you whispered to the prince. He smiled in return, simply happy to see you happy. Once more you looked at Lucifer, pure adoration in his eyes. He couldn't let go of your hand, or move away from you, for that matter.
Diavolo approached, standing at your flank. "I fair to say this could be the best birthday we've celebrated with you, my love," he murmured. When you looked up over your shoulder, his gaze was full of love and sincerity.
"I would venture to say this has been the best birthday of my entire life," you replied softly. Both of your lovers were of course happy to hear this. "I love you both, so much," you whispered.
"And we love you, MC," Lucifer whispered back.
"I do believe it's time for the final location," Diavolo stated, grinning.
A portal opened a few steps away. Lucifer took your right hand and walked through the opening, with you following the Avatar and with Diavolo, taking your left, following you both.
-10pm-
"Surprise!"
You were in the living room at the House of Lamentation, and all of your family and friends were there. Asmodeus squealed and rushed you immediately, forcing your lovers to let go of your hands when he collided with you in a feverish hug.
"Oh, MC!" He cried. "Let me see!"
You tilted your head in confusion, and then he brought up your hands, looking at your two rings.
"Oh, how darling! It's very you, my dear," Asmo beamed.
"Wait, did you...?" You started to ask.
Satan walked up and shook his head. "Oh, we knew. He wouldn't shut up about it yesterday. And then today, sweet hell, he was unbearable, pacing around the house, barking at all of us–"
A sharp growl came from Lucifer to shut up the fourth born, though he was still smiling down at you. Mammon snuck up behind Asmo and Satan and wriggled around them, taking your hand.
"Not too bad, looks like a 4.5 carat, D quality, probably cost around–" And he was promptly smacked and drug away by Satan. You couldn't help but chuckle.
"Shall we start the party?" Barbatos asked you, taking his station next to Diavolo.
"We shall," you beamed, nodding.
Solomon tapped his wand and the lights dimmed slightly, and music started to play. Everyone's voices picked up. The night was filled with endless fun, and you couldn't have imagined it going any other way.
Truly, yes, your heart was full. All those doubts, fears, worries, the inner turmoil, insecurities, they washed away in moments like this. In the moments where Asmo fawned over your gown, or when Diavolo and Lucifer tensely but silently argued who could dance with you first only to miss their opportunity as Mammon swept you away, or when Solomon offered his hearty congratulations on your engagement, it was all worth it. Nothing could be better, not in your wildest dreams or deepest fantasies. You never imagined this is where you'd end up, but to think it could be any different, well, it simply couldn't be. This was fate.
"Grimm for your thoughts?" Barbatos murmured, taking your hand and escorting you to dance. You smiled and followed easily.
"Ah, I'm just happy," you replied, looking into his green eyes.
Barbatos smiled politely, but his eyes were more emotional, and he only looked at you. "I am happy to hear that, mistress," he said in his lowest register, only for you to hear. "You deserve nothing less," he added.
"If I might," you started to say, hesitating. He tilted his head, listening to you. "You've been a lot more forward with your thoughts and emotions with me as of late," you observed. Barbatos' eyes flickered to concern, but you added, "I like it. I hope you continue to be open with me." He relaxed again.
"As you say, mistress," he replied politely, smiling again.
The song was over and Barbatos bowed his head slight. "A pleasure, as always," he stated.
When you looked around you saw Lucifer sitting in an armchair, and the moment your eyes laid onto his face, he started searching the room, as if to look for someone. His landed on yours as you gracefully crossed the room, and he started to say something just as you sat yourself on his lap. He welcomed your intrusion, wrapping an arm around your hips. It was just you two in your own little corner.
"My love," he murmured, placing his other hand on your thigh. He scanned your frame and smiled. "I don't believe I've told you yet how stunning you look tonight," he praised.
"No, you haven't, and it was really starting to worry me, you know," you jested, bringing up your right hand to look at your nails and new jewelry to seem pouty.
"Don't fret, dove, we have the rest of our lives for me to tell you each and every day, multiple times a day if you wish," he replied with a smirk.
"I'd like to hear it a few more times since it's my birthday," you stated playfully, crossing your arms and upturning your nose at him. He caressed your jaw and pulled your head down down, your ear on his lips.
"You're the very essence of beauty. Your charm is so beguiling, it's enough to command me that I'd take you right here at your behest. If I were still an angel, your gaze and voluptuousness alone would make me fall from grace from the sins I'd want to commit against you," he whispered.
Your eyes went wide, and a flush of heat ran from your head all the way down to your core.
"Is that enough? Or should I tell you that your voice alone drives my thoughts so wild I can scarcely think straight when you speak to me, and it's all I can do to fantasize about taking you up to my room to have my way with you?"
"Okay, okay!" You yielded in a whisper. It felt like your body was now aflame with arousal and embarrassment.
You sat up again and looked down at Lucifer, and he gave you his signature half-lidded stare and smirk combination. In a huff, you looked away, but his hold on you tightened. Others were still having fun, Mammon up to his usual tricks of playing cards and losing against Satan and Belphie, Asmo flirting with Solomon, Beel asking Luke, Simeon, and Barbatos about the food. The prince approached once your eyes landed on his.
"Keeping her for yourself again," Diavolo tutted at Lucifer.
"She was misbehaving, so I had to set her straight," Lucifer replied.
Your jaw fell agape and immediately retorted in a hushed tone, "If anyone is misbehaving, it's you, you flirty old demon," snapping your head towards the eldest.
"See what I mean?" Lucifer stared at you, his smirk deepening to show his fangs.
"Indeed," Diavolo mused, coming closer to bend down to your other ear. "Maybe she needs to be spanked," he murmured.
Staring straight ahead, it was so hard not to react. Had you squealed like you desperately wanted to, everyone would have noticed. With an obvious gulp, you plastered a sweet smile and turned your head to Diavolo.
"Maybe you need to be," you replied sweetly, lids lowered. Diavolo's smile curled into a nasty smirk as well.
"How unbecoming for the future queen," he muttered in a falsity of disappointment.
"MC! Stay right there, I need a picture of you three!" Asmo squealed with his D.D.D. in hand when he saw you three together. Diavolo stood behind the chair, appearing behind you and putting his hand on your shoulder. Asmo quickly took a few and smiled.
"Oi, MC, we had a question since you said yes to Lucifer and all," Mammon said, approaching with everyone slowly turning toward your direction.
"And we heard that you and Diavolo are getting married too," Belphie added.
"Hm? What is it?" You asked, welcoming the distraction from the two ornery demons that would have relentlessly teased you into oblivion.
"When's the wedding? Or should I say, weddings?" Satan asked with a smirk.

Admiration
Tumblr media
Genre: Fluff? I think?
Pairing: Simeon/MC
A drabble inspired by the Gem event.
Not proofread >< I haven't written in a while due to my busy schedule, so I don't really how to feel about this T^T
Tumblr media
Simeon loves to be around you.
There’s something about you that pulls him in. Whether it’s your smile or your actions towards others, he’d find himself intrigued to know more. Just who exactly are you?
.
You’re a kind human; that much he could interpret just from observing you.
Always trying your best to help others, you were selfless and kindhearted. You never find it in yourself to snap at the brothers even though they’ve caused you too much trouble, and Simeon wonders, are you not an angel?
Even he couldn’t fathom being in your shoes and dealing with everyone with such a gracious heart.
.
You’re patient and understanding.
Despite being a human among a society of demons and angels, you never really looked down on any species, including your own. You believed that every species has its own beauty that hides deep within.
Always trying your best to understand others, you treat everyone with respect and mutual understanding.
No wonder you have everyone wrapped around your fingers.
.
You’re one brave human; Simeon noted as he heard from Luke how you protected the little angel and Beel from Lucifer's wrath during the incident with the Grimoire.
Even though you have no powers to protect yourself, you stood your ground against the demons, never faltering or making mistakes.
And when you’ve finally unlocked your hidden potential as a sorcerer, you did not step down from a challenge, always wrecking your mind to solve the obstacles with patience and carefulness.
.
Now Simeon understands what exactly has made you so attractive to him.
You’re a human with many specialities and skills.
Simeon also understands why he’s feeling the way he is right now. And he hoped you notice this immense admiration of his someday.

Tumblr media
⟬ meme / @zorkaya ⟭
’ You came back. ’ @ Mammon (said with a soft, adoring smile)
Tumblr media
At first, it seemed like such a silly thing to say.
This was his home, where he slouched on the sofa and dozed off in bed. This is where he scratched his head when homework became too difficult, where he raided the fridge at midnight because he suddenly had the craving for sweet, velvety pudding.
This was also where he knew to find her, and that made this home more than anything.
Then it didn't seem so silly that she was happy to see him after he had been gone for most of the day. He wouldn't have noted the drag of time if he had done something fun, but his bone-deep desire to spoil his moonbeam meant he had spent the day buried in paperwork for a company he couldn't even remember.
Soon enough, he would quit, but he needed those paychecks for now. Seeing her darling face and hearing the tenderness in her voice, remembering why he had endured, made it all worthwhile.
Tumblr media
"Ya thought I wouldn't? C'mon, ya know me better than that." She did. He didn't say that just to appease her because there was no point. She didn't need to have smoke blown up her skirt — she was observant, she was astute, and she understood him on a level that no other had.
Surely, she knew he would return because he had someone worth coming home to.
But because she had exposed herself, he couldn't resist the urge to tease.
"What, don't tell me ya missed me." His fingers glided against hers, until only the tips touched. Then, swiftly and with the deftness of a thief intent on stealing her heart all over again, he gave her a twirl. "Night's still young, treasure. What's left of it is all yours. Ain't nothin' gonna take me away from ya."

ngl i kind of miss the era of fics after hunting palismen but before season 1b where hunter slowly befriends luz’s friends and family under the guise of studying wild magic/espionage/whatever they were setting up with hunter spying on luz in season 2a that they didn’t have time to pay off in the show. and he finds a loving mother figure in eda and gradually realizes that belos and the emperor’s coven are bad before bravely standing up to his abuser and permanently moving into the owl house to be luz and king’s grumpy older brother.
i know his arc in canon didn’t go like that and tbh despite having more episodes to interact with him than darius or camilla eda ended up being like. the least parental towards him out of the three. but i really like that fic concept? not very action-y so i get why they played his arc out this way in the show but hunter’s heel turn in the show didnt. really feel like it was in his control? he has doubts about helping belos in every episode he appears in bc he was growing to care about luz and her friends. and ofc he finds out that belos is evil in hollow mind and ends his redemption arc by choosing to help hexside fight off the scouts.
but he was forced into all the realizations about belos by outside factors. he leaves the emperor coven not because he made an informed decision about how it was bad but because he knows belos would kill him if he didn’t leave the coven. and then when he helped the students at hexside it was because the teachers were about to trade him for gus if he couldn’t prove that he was trustworthy. i guess in the human realm he does get to learn what counts as a normal childhood and loving family, but that ties more into his post-redemption arc about found family rather than this being what makes him realize that belos was evil.
(this is also why i like to compare hunter to peridot from steven universe rather than zuko. i know on a surface level hunter and zuko are both angsty boys with a scar and an abusive father figure. but zuko had a journey bonding with civilians and the gaang where he learned why exactly the fire nation was wrong. and his decision to leave the fire nation, after zuko got back all his privilege and his fathers favor, was meaningful because it showed he was willing to give all that up to do what was right. meanwhile hunter, like peridot, had nothing left to lose by the time they join the protagonists. they fought against the villains because they were trapped with the protagonists and would die if they didn’t. i’d say even peridot had more agency in her redemption arc than hunter because she was given a chance to go back to homeworld but instead chose to save earth anyway and tell off yellow diamond.)
every confrontation between hunter and the villains during and after hollow mind was forced on him. in his earlier episodes, hunter did some small betrayals towards the coven to help luz and willow. but during the final part of his redemption (hollow mind & labyrinth runners, where he fully does a heel turn towards the protagonists’ side), saving gus from getting his sigil was the only major action he chose to do. in every other instance, his options were either help the protagonists or be killed.
this isn’t a bad thing. i like hunter’s character arc. it’s definitely more about coming to terms with one’s trauma than about anything bad hunter actually did. so they kind of brush aside his redemption arc once it’s over and the major focus is on what comes after. which i think is how toh does most of its redemption arcs? like with lilith or to a lesser extent amity. hell even mattholomule. once the character realize they’re wrong they get on the protagonist’s side and there isn’t much lingering tension about the harm they did. because once they’ve dedicated themselves to helping the protagonists, there isn’t much more they can do to make up for the past harm and toh definitely isn’t trying to preach anything about punitive justice.
so for hunter he realizes belos is evil and going to kill him in hollow mind and decides to help luz’s friends stop him in labyrinth runners. and after that he permanently joins the gang and helps fight belos and the rest of his arc is about finding himself after his redemption. which with how they wrote his backstory and arc so far i am more interested in this than seeing him haggle with the moral quandaries of working with belos and slowly realizing that he wants to be a Good Boy.
but man. those season 2a fics are so good. they’re like an au where hunter’s redmption arc is more like zuko’s than peridots and they give him a LOT more agency. in those fics he might get forced to stay with the owl family at first out of plot contrivance, but by the end he chooses his new family. and he chooses luz and eda and the rest of their friends and family over every privilege he had in the emperor coven, and over belos. and even though it might be a bit cliche, i still think that idea is really powerful.
#toh#the owl house#hunter toh#hunter noceda#hunter clawthorne#the way his arc plays out in those fics and the way his actual arc went are subtlely different#but that difference is significant to me#its taking responsibility for your crimes as a pawn of a dictator and finding that the people who actually love you will still forgive you#its looking at luz and her family of criminals who genuinely love and support each other#and looking at the emperor coven and all its prestige but with the underside of impossible pressure#and occasional praise and manipulation from an uncle that SHOULD love you but only uses that love to hurt you and get you to obey him#and realizing that no. you deserve to be treated better than that#that a humble life spent running from authorities with a family of genuine love#is leagues better than the power and glory from perpetuating a cycle of abuse#its hunter coming to terms that the environment he grew up in was horrible to him and continuing living there with that knowledge#before deciding that hes ready to leave belos. that he has a support system outside of the coven who wont treat him like this#as opposed to having the worst night of your life as you realize everything you know is a lie#and being forced from the only home you ever knew through no fault of your own with no support system you trust#and only after you have nowhere to go and nothing left do you start building everything back up again#and either way hunter realizes there is a light at the end of the tunnel#i think the second arc does have more of a place in the show but man i love to see that first arc explored in fics#maybe in a full season 3 they would have combined both ideas and they definitely planned to have hunter spend time with the owl family#but well never know#shut up pandora

i knew they had the same taste in movies...! interesting, too. they seem to anticipate the worst with curiousity, and not paranoia; they view it all objectively, too.

Just played Lesson 13. Still don't like Lilith's presence much but DAMN we got World Building and Diavolo characterization- That's pretty good. ( Won't elaborate for spoiler reasons but yeah liked it enough I suppose. )
Kinda been waiting to get some stuff on Diavolo and Barbatos so eager to see what comes next.
