I find it so painfully heartbreaking that Solomon just...laughs off all the derision, the name-calling, and possibly even did "evil" things on purpose because it's expected of him at this point. (He had not always been like this as Thirteen pointed out before). There was a time when he was "innocent". When his soul sparkled. When it resembled the kind of soul everyone in these god forsaken (pun intended with spite) three realms seemed to associate with the ever loved MC. He's just...worryingly carefree. And because he's like that, he feels even more of a tragic character to me.

Sometimes it even seems that he himself would seemingly make up excuses on why he's hated. Oh, it's because I'm a sorcerer this. I might have won a war against Devildom single-handedly this. I have forgotten. But maybe, I did something bad, that. Hon, you were doing that to SURVIVE. You don't have to be a faultless person to deserve compassion. You don't have to be MC to deserve to be loved.

In 1805, Napoleon was accidentally picked up by Time Travelers Bill and Ted and dropped off in 1988. While the time travelers were picking up other historical figures Billy the Kid, Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Genghis Kahn, and Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon spent his time bowling, eating ice cream and going to a water park in San Dimas, CA (Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Flm)

I once separated Grundy and Croc when they were locked in battle over who would eat a hog floating in the sewer.

Thinking back on it, it’s so obvious Solomon isn’t as emotionally intelligent as I additionally thought he was. Which knowing his childhood and background…yeah that makes a whole heck of a lot of sense.

[hanakihan]

listen

I know FGO has young master as MC but like consider

old man/woman as a FGO MC where they legitimately ended up in this mess by literal pure accident, maybe being someone from staff

like the idea of absolute humiliation to enemies to learn that their ass was kicked not even by a master candidate but a fucking old ass staff member who accidentally happened to have small aptitude for magic

[nocreativityfornames]

Do y'all remember these chats?

Like please, I can't tell you how much I love the idea that they actually followed up with this and ended up becoming one of the most popular channels in the whole Devildom.

Their channel name could be just "HoL," because House of Lamentation, y'know?

I can imagine demons going to watch a video for MC out of curiosity because they're interested in seeing what the human living with the Seven Rulers of Hell is like (or simply going for the brothers since they're pretty much celebrities in the Devildom and have many fans already) but then ending up a fan because they like MC's personality and the dynamic with the brothers dbhsjsjd

And what this could bring to the Devildom? It would be amazing. I mean think about it, demons would be tuning in, watching MC, and unconsciously becoming more tolerant and accepting of humans. Because although the Devildom consumes human media like music, movies, anime, etc, they don't really have the chance to see what an actual human is like (how they navigate ordinary situations, interact with others, their sense of humor, etc) due to the fact that they have their own social media and streaming platforms with no humans in it. Because again, why would demons go through the trouble of having YouTube, Twitch, or IG when they have perfectly good demon content creators to follow and obsess over on their own demonic platforms?

And going back to the silly side of things, these idiots (affectionately) would make such good content. Like the brothers mention in the chat, there would be gaming content with Levi, ASMRs with Beel, beauty videos with Asmo, scandal worthy stories with Satan and Belphie, etc. But also, and these are silly additions I'm making: pranking videos of the brothers messing with each other, Beel doing workout routine tutorials, Satan raging at badly written books, the brothers doing challenges...lmao

And the angels and Sol could show up as guests sometimes (which would also help the audience grow more accepting of non-demons) making videos with the whole crew together the most chaotic shit ever. Like, look at the variety here ppl

It's funny because I've always liked the idea of MC becoming a streamer/content creator on the Devildom (there are multiple streamer mc posts on my page pff) but I didn't even remember these chats existed till I went to revisit the og game stuff.

Fucking amazing. Yes, I'd watch the shit out of that channel.

I wonder if it's a design choice or the devs themselves can't make up their mind, but why did Solomon's eye colour "change" in NB? The chibi sprites in the OG show his eyes are shades of grey to brown/almost gold-bronze.

The NB chibi sprite shows his eyes to be dark blue and brownish-gold.

Don't even get me started with the cards and merch that can't make up his effing eye colour

To my Solobesties (I'm calling Solomon stans this now. I think we formed a strange kinship after lesson 17 even if we never interact lmao), especially artist solobesties, hats off to you and your service to the community.

My personal HC is kinda a spoiler for uhhhh something I'm writing, but here it is:

"It's just…your eyes are like you: I can't figure them out." "MC, I-" "No! No! Solomon, I'm sorry! No…it's not like that, I promise! Look at me, won't you? Please look at me." So he did. His eyes trembled as he met with yours. How could he have hidden this part of himself for this long? How could you not notice? How could you forget? How could Father be so cruel to him and you for simply existing? You traced the corner of his lips with your thumb as you held him by the cheek. He was leaning onto your right hand, unable to maintain his gaze. He was surprisingly bashful. Adorably shy without his facades. But he looked like he would crumble even with a gentle word so you did not say anything. He looked at you expectantly, then looked away as your gaze burned onto him for too long and muttered, "You can't figure me out?"in almost a whisper, after a long-drawn out silence, weighing in his words, watching your expressions and body language. Afraid, so deathly afraid. You smiled. "It's like I'm looking at a mirror. Sometimes it's silver, sometimes it's midnight. When you look at the world around you and then look back at me, I feel like you've captured the sky and the oceans in your eyes. It's beautiful." His face was red all over, even to the tips of his ears. It was such a shame. You haven't even said everything you wanted to say to him yet. That he was the moon and the stars to your daytime; gold and silver gazes, looking after you from afar in the many branches of realities he couldn't be as honest with you as he was now. Ah. What will you do without him now? How can you give this up after remembering everything? You knew it was selfish, but you love him. Both of him. Every part of him just as much as he loved you and every part of you that existed. But now, you had to say goodbye. Again. How truly unfair.
