#yall know I had to include kintsugi okay

[obeymeswdwritings]

Hi! Can you please do an obey me! headcanon where the MC has back and leg braces like Viktor in Arcane and how everyone would react and help them out? Thanks! I love how detailed you are with your work

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Please let me know if I got anything wrong, I tried to stay pretty ambiguous about the why of the braces but chronic pain is brought up in Satan and Solomon's parts.

Characters- All

Gn!Reader

Warnings- Swearing, characters not entirely understanding human disabilities, Solomon's cooking, discussions/mentions of chronic pain, minor lore spoilers (it's stuff you learn really fast but I'm not sure when, I think lesson 14 or so? It is very minor but I still want to mention it)

Category- Headcanons, Aix reqs

Lucifer

He's a bit confused by the brace, it reminds him of the bandages he had to wear he lost his wings, but your back seems intact, and humans don't have wings (. . . right?)

He's not gonna ask. According to romance novels he stole from Satan human etiquette that'd be rude. Plus, as the Avatar of Pride, he'd be hypocritical to do anything that could potentially injure yours.

He continued in this mindset until a lesser demon bluntly went "why do you wear the brace? is it like a human version of whatcha do when you get a bone removed?" and thankfully, you just looked confused.

"You guys get bones removed?"

"I mean sometimes. but answer the question." Lucifer bristled slightly, how dare they, but you didn't seem too offended.

"I don't know how to explain it. I mean, it's a medical thing, but there's a lot of humans who don't get it, so I wouldn't really expect you to." the demon seemed satisfied with that answer, if a little confused.

He's still not gonna ask, just steal more books from Satan until he figures out what's going on.

Mammon

His immediate assumption is that you're gonna need him to help you with a lot of shit. Which from his limited knowledge, is borderline sweet.

He's going to complain a lot, though, although it's clearly loud and fake, just there for appearances.

If you choose to explain it, he'll ask if your brace works okay, if it's wearing out, if it's comfy. He'll even offer to buy a new one, one that's state-of-the-art and then some, even if he does make a couple excuses about how Lucifer would get mad if he didn't.

If not, he won't bug you about it, but will absolutely throw hands if anyone else does. Doesn't matter if you don't mind or whatever, you're his human responsibility!

If you find a personalized crutch with engraved flowers and what's borderline Kintsugi on it, don't ask, you know full well he'll deny involvement.

Leviathan

Anon, you may have referenced Viktor in the ask, but I think we both know he'd excitedly bring up Viktor and every other character with the sort of braces you have at first, even if he does apologize once the initial reaction wears off.

Frankly, he thought this was something shows made up about humans, since injuries inflicted on demons or angels that could leave a lasting impression need the amount of force that could probably kill a human several times over.

He's very sad that that's not the case though, and will ask a few questions, although he'll back off immediately if you so much as seem uncomfortable!

If you're comfortable with it, would you maybe want to do cosplays with him? he's super careful about the topic, not wanting to overstep, but there's a lot of characters-

He's going to want to know a lot about what it was like in the human world, especially with a disability, so whether you want to talk about the dog your friend had or the shitty healthcare system, he's down to listen!

Satan

He knows so much about human injuries, disabilities, and treatments from books that it's borderline scary.

Towards the beginning, there's going to be a lot of questions. He does his best to avoid invasive ones, not wanting to offend you, but if you're comfortable with it he wants to know how it affects other pain, what sort of influence it has on daily life, if your bone structure is altered, and all sorts of things.

Sometimes forgets that having one disability isn't the same as having them all. (ex: "Could you tell me a little bit about what it means to be anemic?" "No clue, isn't that like what vampires have?")

Means well, gets ahead of himself easily.

Asmodeus

Alright, just make sure to mention if you're in a lot of pain! Aside from that, he doesn't care that much, just makes sure that if you have exercises, you do them.

If your braces are bulky or, worse yet, uncustomized, rest assured that Asmo will make sure you have braces that are stylish and functional. He doesn't believe in the practicality vs. fashion debate, why have one when you can have both?

He's not gonna tone back his enthusiasm unless you need him to. Rest assured, he's not gonna coddle you as much as you might think he would. (Unless, of course, that's what you want! In that case, he'd be happy to oblige~)

Genuinely though, and it's not like you're the first person he's known with some sort of brace, he's not nearly as antisocial towards humans as his brothers tend to be.

Beelzebub

That looks painful, are you okay?

as a Fangol guy, he's seen more than a few injuries, and that looks way too close to the one that made his teammate need two bones removed for comfort.

Once you explain that while it's not always entirely painless, you still do technically have a bone, he'll brighten up quite a bit.

He'll carry you if you want! He's really strong, it wouldn't be a problem!

He's probably going to research what types of food are really good for humans, even if it takes forever. He's determined to help out however he can, even if you reassure him it doesn't bother you that much.

Belphegor

He though Lucifer said they'd gotten a normal fuckin human why is there a cyborg standing at the door to the attic

Oh. Wait. You're not- oh good. He was worried for a second. Now he's just confused.

Did some random demon do this? the fuck? obviously he's not gonna ask he feels like that'd be kinda rude

Actually fuck it he's considered blunt for a reason, he's just gonna wait a bit first, until he can mumble it out right after waking up so he can pass it off as a dream or being vaguely delirious from sleep if you're upset

Diavolo

Alright! A sorcerer and also you! Diversity wins!

He doesn't wanna ask in case it upsets you, since as mentioned, most injuries are pretty traumatic, but he's very curious and might ask about how common this is for humans.

Uhhh do you need painkillers? a new brace? they don’t have much tech in the Devildom but it’s the least he can do! 

You’re going to get better healthcare than you did in the human world, and it’s gonna be free. Congrats!

He’s very curious, and while he’ll back off if you want him to, he wants to know everything about human disabilities, injuries, and treatments. 

Barbatos

Well he knew obviously, but he’s still a little surprised

He’s fascinated by the concept of a brace to help with something like this, and might ask some questions about the history and invention of it.

For the most part, he winds up being the one getting the brothers and Diavolo to be chill about it, pointing out that they don’t constantly question Solomon about his potion mishaps. 

As you get to know him, he might offer tea that’s supposed to have a revitalizing effect on humans, as well as being a fairly strong pain reliever. Pro tip: take it, it tastes fucking fantastic

Solomon

He’s used to human shit, he is a human. 

He’ll offer to make chicken noodle soup on worse days pain-wise. Please, for your own sake, don’t fucking accept the offer. 

He might bring up potion experimenting, not to help with the pain but to give you wings, for some reason. Just make sure he tests it on someone else first, if you choose to take him up on the offer. 

He’s seen some shit, he’s not gonna care that much. (to quote: “I mean, it’s like- you know the, the refillable markers!” no, I don’t understand the thought process here either. I’m sorry.)

Simeon

He’s interested by the braces, asking what effect they have on mobility, if they increase or decrease it long-term

Asks if you’d be willing to help him write a couple of characters, since he’s trying to add more diversity to the cast but doesn’t know enough about disability and disability aids to do it right.

He’s casual with everyone, he’s not gonna act uptight around you, realistically speaking.

Luke

Luke would be concerned but not concerned enough to ask and risk upsetting you

He might mention it in passing, but only after he’s willing to admit he doesn’t hate demons, so it’ll be a while

Offers to try and find a mobility aid that might be a bit more useful than the crutch you have, which isn’t entirely suited for Devildom terrain.

there you have it! I wasn’t entirely sure how to write this, since I don’t have braces except an ankle brace, but I did a little research and hopefully it isn’t too far from what you wanted, anon!
