Mammon and Levi are complete opposites.

Levi struggles significantly with any changes to his environment let alone settle in a different one. Mammon on the other hand will adapt to most changes and his surroundings without a second thought especially as long as he’s with someone he’s loyal to, his dedication allows him to move forward without hesitation. In NB Mammon’s biggest concern wasn’t his own comfort but earning the title of 7 Rulers to prove him and his brothers can live amongst the devildom and so his brothers can and adjust better in the Devildom without backlash.

Mammon is impulsive and acts in the moment, mostly driven by emotion which makes him flexible but also reckless. Levi on the other hand over analyses everything and any minor change is a blow because he thrives on routine and any disruption to his world he’s built for himself throws him off balance.

Levi needs a hobby or passion to thrive on, something he can pour his soul into, while Mammon is carefree and doesn't really care for a fixed passion or hobby of the sort he’ll do whatever catches his attention in the moment as long as he’s having fun and enjoying himself.

Their sins are also more different than what people think. Greed is hoarding and wanting as much as you can while envy is to hate others for what more they possess.

It’s obvious that Levi has low self esteem and sees himself lesser than the rest of his brothers. So, it’s likely that Levi envies Mammon's carefree attitude and traits that naturally come to him as part of his character yet feels so out of reach for himself. Mammon also outranks him which could further reinforce his feeling of inadequacy. Imagine being Levi and having to deal with the very sin that embodies wanting and gaining more while yours is to feel bitter at others for what more they have in a situation like this.

Envy can stem from insecurity— which is Levi’s case— the feeling of inadequacy can lead to harsh self criticism and judgement, and over time the pain and mental strain becomes overwhelming so the mind redirects it outward. You start hating others for what more they have than you, as a self defence mechanism, a coping method yet it’ll never rid the feeling of inferiority, in fact, it’ll only fuel it more. A cycle of hate that only gets deeper and deeper.

Do you think that’s why Mammon allows Levi to insult him most of the time who arguably insults Mammon the most out his brothers? Because he understands struggle with sin so that’s why he doesn’t get too mad since it’s a way of Levi coping with his sin. Especially because ever since the fall Mammon’s been the one to care and look out for his brothers when Lucifer couldn’t. Interesting idea.

Btw I made a small drabble kinda based off it here

Thirteen loves freedom. Her symbol is a butterfly which also represents freedom. She speaks her own mind, dresses her own style, lives on her own terms and rather spend time alone so others aren’t a problem.

MC in contrast who felt as if they’ve lost their freedom. Who felt burden ever since S2 (ironically Thirteen's first unnamed mention the lesson before the disaster) and since then were bound by duty to hone their sorcerer skills to protect the human/ 3 realms.

They'd caused damage to it. If they don't work hard to atone and protect the 3 realms they should have been the one stabbed instead

By S4 they were essentially blackmailed into joining the student council and since then worried about contributing with council duties, appearances, demons and their opinions on a human in power, nobles convincing Diavolo the human is a threat, RAD students protesting, Sorcerer’s Society who don’t trust them, all while still keeping up with Solomon's classes, continuing to improve their magic, keeping up with RAD classes and homework, and fitting in as the good human who brings everyone together, spending time with their— when was the last time they've spent time with their friends and loved ones? Once you think about their situation returning from the NB timeline it gets even worse. They still have to figure out what happened and who Nightbringer is, all while MC’s powers spiked up and were then tested by the ones they trusted and while there’s clearly tension between the 3 species & realms.

And then there’s Thirteen.

Thirteen exists outside it all. A reaper who isn’t bound to the Devildom, Celestial Realm, or Human World. She’s also said to be different from other reapers and operate her own way. She’ll only ever involve herself if it interests her —which mainly includes you— but otherwise she doesn’t care for the most part.

MC somehow makes enough time to spend with Thirteen at times in a cafe or walk around shopping helping her find new trap materials. Thirteen doesn’t ask anything from MC except their presence (and compliment her traps, of course). MC doesn’t feel like a threat, burden, or see expectations laid out for them. Even with all her chaos and unpredictability, it somehow brings a sense of comfort. Anyone else would question whether you’re right in the head for that. But with Thirteen MC feels something they don’t feel often anymore: Freedom. They admire her sense of freedom and relish in theirs when they have time to spare with Thirteen. It won’t break them free or entirely unbound, but it makes them feel less trapped. Less alone. They’re not alone.

I’ve never seen anyone link Asmo to Bleeding Hearts when it comes to “what flower is [xx] character” even though it fits him all too well.

The two common meanings for Bleeding Hearts are deep love and compassion but the other is the opposite symbolising sorrow and loss.

If we take the darker meaning for this flower, it is known for its beautiful appearance on the outside but tragic and sorrowful once you look into its meaning and origin.

Once the flower opens up the inner petals open and drop down to reveal the shape of tear hanging from the heart, then representing vulnerability.

Tell me this is not Asmo coded right now I dare you

Welcome~

I’ll make a masterlist when I have about over 5 or 6 posts so for now it’s an intro post.

Incase you couldn’t tell this is a sideblog for Obey Me! Which means I’ll dump most whatever thoughts or writings I have about it here. I repost more different interests or random stuff over at my main @peace-in-peices

There’s no NSFW so do what you will.

DNI if you like Luke in a romantic way or whatever ‘demoncest’ is. Not interested and I don’t want to think about it.

Tags I use:

pip.writes— fics, oneshots, chaptered fics

pip.rambles— ramble on about the game’s characters, plot, or my own (delulu) theories

Also I work on 10 things simultaneously— aka it’s hard to commit to one draft— on a rough schedule which is why I’m slow in posting things but I swear I’ll open requests sooner or later
