❛ You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast. ❜

❛ You are going to break your promise. ❜

❛ I understand. ❜

❛ And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you. ❜

❛ Oh, I will be cruel to you. ❜

❛ It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be. ❜

❛ But you understand, don’t you? ❜

❛ I am a demanding creature. ❜

❛ I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. ❜

❛ For you alone I will be weak. ❜

❛ I do not tolerate a world emptied of you. ❜

❛ In the dark, I have pored over the loss of you like pale gold. ❜

❛ I have looked for your face in the patterns of the ice. ❜

❛ I moved the earth and the water for you. ❜

❛ Because my magic is as strong as an arm. ❜

❛ Magic does that. It wastes you away. ❜

❛ Magic does that. It wastes you away. Once it grips you by the ear, the real world gets quieter and quieter, until you can hardly hear it at all. ❜

❛ You will always run away with her. ❜

❛ You will always lose her. ❜

❛ You will always be a fool. ❜

❛ War is not for winning. ❜

❛ But her heart was so cold that she could hold ice in her mouth and it would never melt. ❜

❛ You look like a winter night. ❜

❛ But if you must be clever, then be clever. ❜

❛ Be brave. ❜

❛ Sleep with fists closed and shoot straight. ❜

❛ She is so stubborn, her heart has an argument with her head every time it wants to beat. ❜

❛ How I adore you. ❜

❛ Tell me you want what you want and damn me forever. But don’t leave me. ❜

❛ Oh, quit that. ❜

❛ In his own country, death can be kind. ❜

❛ Bad luck relies on absolutely perfect timing. ❜

❛ Someone ought to write a novel about me. ❜

❛ I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived. ❜

❛ What is the world but a boxing ring where fools and devils put up their fists? ❜

❛ After love, no one is what they were before. ❜

❛ In the space of one heartbeat to another I loved you and I was lost to you. ❜

❛ No one is now what they were before the war. There’s just no getting any of it back. ❜

❛ How long your hair has grown. You could strangle a man in it. ❜

❛ I have survived, but I have not been spared. ❜

❛ After all, when all else is gone, you may still have bitterness in abundance. ❜

❛ I’ve a devil of a habit for being right. ❜

❛ Everyone is a criminal! ❜

❛ Naturally, then, humans fall into three categories: the criminal, the not-yet-criminal, and the not-yet-caught. ❜

❛ Forests have secrets. ❜

❛ We are better at this than you are. ❜

❛ We can hold two terrible ideas at once in our hearts. ❜

❛ It’s not so bad, my darling. ❜

❛ I look at you and it is like my throat being cut. ❜

❛ Do you think I am a fool? ❜

❛ Did you never think, even once, that I loved lipstick and rouge for more than their color alone? ❜

❛ I still want to kiss you. ❜

❛ I hate it here. ❜

❛ He’ll burn you down like wax if you let him. ❜

❛ Did I not come to you on my knees with a kingdom in my hand? ❜

❛ I am not a little girl anymore, dazzled by your magic. It is my magic, now, too. ❜

❛ My heart is being cut in two. I cannot bear it. ❜

❛ Nothing ever truly dies. ❜

let her chomp !!!!

[ladylilit]

anyway my main verse for lilith will be set prior to the seven-year absence and it will function on the narrative that lilith was plotting & scheming a full-scale revolution against heaven, cutting deals with overlords, facilitating discussion with some of the other noble families, etc. making preparations. whether lucifer is aware of this or no will depend on other writers but by default, the whole plot is kept hush-hush and she doesn't let him know because she presumes he'd be against it. still figuring out the details of the deal ( and i might wait until canon discloses this info ) but my lilith was not there willingly. she didn't leave him family by choice. toying with the idea of her being there so as to prevent hell from rebelling. hm.

— Angela Carter, from The Sadeian Woman and the Ideology of Pornography, c. 1978.

[ladylilit]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: the woman-wife-demon is the apotheosis of all that is evil, or so it was by way of doctrine. first, there was lilith, and then there were eve, jezebel, delilah, babylon. the woman-witch, the woman-whore, time and time the powerful woman becomes synonymous with wicked.

her irritation is a vile thing, manifesting in the flock of shadows which trails beneath the hem of her dark dress, dispersing like wild birds with her stride. the taste in her mouth is always bitter after these meetings with heaven. the parlour doors open and she spies her guest already awaiting. a demon-maid rushes forth to bring an ornate tea service tray, balancing cups, a teapot, and a dessert stand — lilith dismisses her with a gracious nod, and when the doors close, silence settles at the behest of privacy.

this is the queen in retreat, pearls clattering atop the dresser as she slips them off her neck and into the confines of their jewellery box, accompanied by her crown.

❛  did i keep you waiting long? ❜ she grasps the edges of the tray, where it sat atop an end table, and brings it forth herself, the two little cups of tea steaming. with as many errands as they have between them, their weekly meetings had turned monthly, and lilith laments her awful mood, wishes she were arriving in better spirits. irritation is etched into her features, despite her attempt at maintaining stoicism, though medusa surely knows her well enough, after centuries, to discern otherwise. ❛  i had matters to attend at the heaven embassy and ... it took longer than expected. oh, you wouldn't believe their audacity! lucifer was supposed to attend but he was otherwise occupied and— ❜

@chthonicrage, [ lean ]

her spiel is cut short by the silent invitation to sit, to lean in. and she huffs, and she does, gold cascading down medusa's shoulder like waterfalls where lilith lays her head, legs tucked up, figure half-draped over the other woman. shoulder droops as she calms down, her scowl dissipating and giving way to a smile.

fingers gently caress the serpents which move toward her, petting one's head and booping the little snout of another. ❛  you must teach me to wield a bow, dear. at the next conference, i wish to drive an arrow through adam's head, like a pig roast. ❜ she's smiling but it's only half a joke.

[ladylilit]

someone teach lilith to swordfight RIGHT NOW!

[ladylilit]

something i want to incorporate in my writing but idk if it will be too weird to keep up with.... the omnipresent narrator / the male gaze / etc. commentary on how lilith is viewed or what is perceived of her actions juxtaposed with her actual thoughts and ideas.

[ladylilit]

playing with some lore, and i'm thinking of going a lil divergent from the show storyline that she & lucifer were cast to hell only after tempting eve... thinking.... lilith's death came at the hands of angels. after she fled the garden, she was 'drowned' in the red sea by three angels sent by God for her defiance and refusal to return to adam, and emerged a demon. lucifer eventually found her again and took her with himself.

@dark-ambition (Sir Pentious)

Of all people Pentious thought he’d ever lay eyes on, the Queen of Hell herself was certainly not one of them. He feels his heart seize in his chest, feels a bit of panic quickly begin to spike through him, both at how to react and at how to properly greet a being as mighty as her, and after a moment of gasping in shock at the mere sight of her, his hood flaring open to it’s fullest reach, he bows, and bows low. A hand on his chest and the other sweeping out behind him, almost as if he was bending down onto one knee.

“..Your Majesssty. It is an honor.” His voice cracks a little at the beginning, but he manages to keep most of his nervousness free. He can feel himself trembling.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: in our understanding, the figure of lilith becomes the snake hidden beneath the flowers, the she-demon, the woman-king, pulling the strings of the political stage of hell. a craving for power, you might suspect, a desire for independence. these are the mutilated parts of the story and she won't speak of them, so we are left to construct our own beliefs.

the dark demesnes of dawn have lain to rest here, at the palace grounds upon which fog gathers as though it were practising rituals, swaying and shifting in the half-light. the high halls of the manor are still drowsy with sleep. the premises of the architecture succumb to their dusty shadows, which see all and are ever-living ━ they clamber there, and slumber there, in the dark chamber that is she, beating with her blood’s beat, and moving with her heart’s heat. these shadows take the form of nobles, of sinners, of hell-born, the staff running around the halls, in the shape of contracts. the souls betwixt her claws. sometimes, she feels she has become one with hell for how well she has stepped into the role of its keeper. which is why, for the sake of this kingdom she has sworn to shield, she must take certain actions.

some things are simply necessary, the queen had told herself when she sealed the letter summoning her contact, wax waning into her sigil. her shadows had told her the serpentine inventor was worth the hassle, with all his talents, and with how dire the situation has become of late, scales tipping in heaven's favour with every extermination they commit, she decides it's time to utilize every tool at her disposal.

this is the heart of the palace, concurrently it is also the queen's most private of caverns. these are her own affairs that she has a right to conduct. lucifer is not here, away to attend matters in wrath ; she loathes to do this behind his back, but he never quite understood she had a fire in her where her heart ought to be, and his inaction would be the death of her.

and so, alone, the mistress of the house sits amidst her boudoir, one nail tapping lightly at the ornate armrest of the chair she occupies, chin laid atop the other as she eyes him with minimal interest. his trembling and trepidation, she enjoys, but she cares little for the flattery. better men have granted her cheaper admirations.

❛  how charming you are. ❜  lilith drawls with a smile that bears the hint of fang, a deep tone meant to lure and ensnare her guest closer, beckoning with a claw. he keeps a respectable distance between them, but she so hates to raise her tone. ❛ come now, i don't bite. you have been summoned as my guest and i wish for us to be better acquainted. won't you tell me your name, inventor?   ❜  she knows of course, but this is much more amusing!

𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐒. tall and strikingly beautiful, lilith was made of the same soil as man to be a perfect creature, though her banishment to hell perverted that beauty into 'sin', lending her charm an infernal, haunting air - she is an ancient terror, the mother of monsters, and she looks it. massive horns curve outward from her head, long & sharp nails, and sharpened canines.

𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐒:

my portrayal of lilith plays with the idea that, as created equal to man, lilith is a narrative foil to adam in that she is cut of the same cloth — she is unapologetically confident, arrogant, and narcissistic. she is also clever & cunning, the snake hidden betwixt roses.

she is not all evil. she is not all good. she fights for the causes she believes in ( the liberation of women, the safety of her citizens, etc. ) but makes no apology for her aloof demeanour. she holds a lot of anger ... at adam, at god, at lucifer, for having failed her when it mattered.

she loved lucifer, and their family, though perhaps not in the way he wanted. she didn't feel satisfied in that role.

my main verse is based on the presumption that, before she was taken to heaven, lilith was plotting a rebellion against heaven, making political moves behind lucifer's back to wage war against the angels and put an end to heaven's tyranny.
