Most Likely to Try to Bed You: Brothers and Dateables (sans Luke)

In my defense, I was left unsupervised. So this is written from least to most likely. And I included why they might hold back.

Suggestive Content Ahead--Sexual Themes and References and Adult Language

May Contain Spoilers if you haven't finished season one

11. Barbatos

The much-beloved and ever serene demon butler is not about to try anything, unfortunately. Being around you is enough for him, and what if he makes you uncomfortable with unwanted advances? How awkward; your friendship would never be the same.

10. Simeon

I know! The angel is only second to last. Truth be told, Simeon isn't wholly aware of the true meanings of his feelings. Even when he does realize... oh dear... He's not sure what to do with himself. You'd never be able to tell anything is different about him. He's still a sweet and subtle flirt, albeit an internally flustered one.

9. Beelzebub

Behold the resident teddy bear. Beel likes you; like, likes you likes you. He thinks you're attractive and nice. You're so good with his brothers too... But he isn't truly pushed to act on his feelings. He doesn't like being selfish, and he worries that if he makes advances towards you, it might hurt his brothers' feelings (doubly true for belphie). Unless you initiate something, he is pretty content keeping things the way they are.

8. Leviathan

Oop! Coming in hot at number eight! His sin eggs him on a bit in this case. The thought of someone else hanging out with you? Let alone touching you? It sends him spirally so hard and fast: he's dizzy for days. He wants you. But what if you reject him? He couldn't take it. He'd die for sure. For now, he'll wait. The more time the two of you spend together, the more you'll like him. Right?

7. Belphegor

thin fucking ice belphie. He knows how he feels. And he knows others feel the same way. Unlike Beel, he isn't going to make room for his older brothers... Unless it's Beel in question. Otherwise, Belphie is happy to attempt to monopolize your time and affection. Let him sleep in your lap; he's so tired... He'll wrap his arms around your waist while standing to rest his head on your shoulder. Is he asleep or smelling your hair? Who knows. Watch his hands though, they be wandering.

6. Diavolo

the prince himself -3- The Prince of Devildom must admit to himself that he enjoys your company more than is necessarily appropriate. He finds himself thinking of you... and your body. Whoops!! He'd flirt, maybe a bit terribly, and compliment you enthusiastically. If he can get you alone, then he'll tell you. Bluntly. And Diavolo will gladly take you then and there if you let him.

5. Solomon

heuheuheu This saucy sorcerer wants to get into your bed on day one, if for no other reason than it would piss off everyone else. He flirts and gives light touches. Focuses on you so intently when you speak, you get embarrassed by the attention. He makes it clear early on that if you ever want a bed partner, platonic or otherwise, he's available. After all, he has an excellent grasp of human anatomy.

4. Mammon

he's your first man, damn it!! Anyway. Mammon is a fuckin mess about it. Greed incarnate, he needs to have you. You're his, don't you know that already? Well, he plans on making it clear to you. He hovers. Constantly. He gives you trinkets and demands you spend time with him. When he musters the nerve and gets you alone... he's still a mess! Completely red and incoherent. He finally gets to the point through action--maybe kissing you, holding you, or pinning you down. He wants you so bad; he looks stupid. And he knows it.

3. Satan

is this a surprise to anyone?? Satan has read enough books to know where this is going, lol. There are no downsides to wanting to bed you. After all, it'd piss off Lucifer, and he'd get laid. Win-win! He doesn't need to demand time alone with you. The library is one of the places you often visit for solitude and comfort. And if he's there too, is it really a surprise? He'd stare at you so much that you noticed. He'd pretend to be sheepish at being caught... but it's part of the game. He wants you to know he likes you without saying it out loud. He wants to create tension so thick it'll be a relief when you finally kiss him.

2. Lucifer

the cannon is coming for me According to our beloved source material, depending on choices you make in Season 1... Lucifer breaks. His compounded logic and unshakeable discipline pale in comparison to the joy you bring him. He can feel his self-control eroding away whenever he's alone with you for more than a minute. He knows you must have some feelings for him as well. Why else would you avoid his gaze like this? Why would your skin be so warm? He seduces you only after he's sure you'll say yes.

1. Asmodeus

were y'all expecting someone else?? Asmo wanted in from the very beginning. How interesting that you're immune to his powers. He didn't go out of his way to seduce you at first. Just unsubtle hints and persistent flirting. But post pact? Woof. Good luck. He knows what buttons to push, what questions to ask, how much of his clavicle he should show to make your mouth go dry. It's amusing for him, figuring you out as a sexual being. He's quite content being a casual partner to you and makes himself perfectly clear on multiple occasions. He can sense lust like an alcoholic senses happy hour. If you're horny, he's on his way, babe.

Like this talk of new characters is revealing some gross shit in the fandom tbh.

1) Not everyone who is playing Obey Me is a woman. Like yes a female character would be great for women who love women but you know men and nb people who love women also play this game right?

2) Why do all of you seem to think MC is a woman? They’re not. They can be literally anything because they are a sheep. And we as the players get to decide what they are for ourselves- but not for anyone else.

3) Even if MC was a woman, that wouldn’t mean a female character would automatically be her rival? Don’t be sexist, and also, the female character could be a lesbian or something.

4) Also, why are we assuming a female character would want to date the boys anyway? Literally nothing has been confirmed about this yet so why are we jumping to that assumption?

5) On that note, we don’t even know if it IS a female character. Stop assuming people with that body type have to be women.

And as I already said on another post, the boys like all genders. So a male or nb character could also hypothetically be a rival to the MC.

I’m excited about the new characters personally. And I get y'all are excited too. But I’m already seeing bad and concerning takes about them and I’m already getting irritated to be honest.

Note

not to be basic but 😳 do you have any thoughts on the demon brothers courting MC? Like any specific Devildom culture aspects that come into play? (Maybe something SUPER important that MC writes off as “oh huh. wonder why my ~friend~ is all nervous today”.) wink wink romantic demon tension wink wink.

Apologies for the long wait on this but YES, we love thinking about Devildom culture(s) and possible traditions, and courting ones are certainly fun to imagine!

We've come up with a handful here (plus a special bonus at the end), so we hope you enjoy them!!

DEVILDOM COURTING

Sharing Bloodseed Fruit

There are a few different kinds of fruits in the Devildom that can have romantic meanings when shared with someone you're interested in.

Bloodseed fruits, which vaguely resemble human-world dragonfruits on the outside and pomegranates on the inside, are the most popular of these by far.

The number of seeds you each eat is meant to be representative of how long you will stay in love with one another.

The average bloodseed fruit has around 1,000 seeds in it, with especially large ones able to have up to 1,500 seeds.

Which of course means the demon brothers and royals aren't going to settle for anything less than the largest ones they can possibly find to share with you.

Favored by: Diavolo, Lucifer, Beelzebub

It's not uncommon for Diavolo to invite you over for tea. Today, however, you've scarcely seen any sign of his loyal butler, aside from a single moment where he delivered both tea and a much smaller plate of sweets than usual.

"Does Barbatos have a lot going on today?" you wonder aloud.

"Oh, no," Diavolo laughs. "He's keeping his distance today out of respect for me. You see, I invited you over for...something rather special."

He takes your hand then and places a massive, spiky-looking fruit onto it. "I suppose you wouldn't be familiar with this, but this is a bloodseed fruit. They're rather rare, but we have a legend here in the Devildom that lovers who share one will stay in love for how many seeds they each eat," he explains. "And so, MC...would you do me the honor of sharing this with me?"

Matching Makeup

In the Devildom, there are certain patterns that one paints on their face that are based on their yearnings or desires, or signify something about the wearer.

These looks are usually only worn for special occasions -- and there is one event in particular where if you wear a certain matching makeup look with another, it signifies being together.

The Bacchanal of Illumination is a special time in the Devildom, where a variety of colorful demonic flora bloom and glow with an ethereal light once every few centuries.

Since ancient times, it has been customary to celebrate the three day window in which these flowers bloom with great revelry, parties thrown throughout, and imbibing an intoxicating drink created from the sap found in these flowers from past seasons.

It is considered good luck if a couple finds a flower in these fields the exact shade of the makeup they are wearing, signifying a healthy and long relationship.

Favored by: Lucifer, Asmodeus, Barbatos

"There we go, now we match!" Asmodeus giggles with delight, finishing the last flick of makeup over your cheek before turning you around to his mirror with a flourish. "Let's go show the others, hm, darling?"

You nod enthusiastically, excited to head out for this festival that everyone has been talking about lately. You've hardly taken two steps into the common room, however, before the rest of the brothers alternately gasp and/or pounce on the Avatar of Lust.

"ASMO, WHAT THE FUCK!" Mammon shouts. "Why the fuck does MC have that makeup, you bastard --"

"Because they're mine, of course," Asmo just grins back cheekily, draping himself possessively all over your shoulders. "Should have done it yourself if you wanted them!"

Offering a Passiflora Hellbloom

Purple and white with a crown of barb-like vines around a protruding spike ending in an eye-like orb, these Devildom flowers can look quite bizarre to humans at first glance.

However, if offered to a love interest, they represent passion, affection, sweetness -- and agony, if the recipient refuses it.

You see, giving a single flower of this kind to someone is seen as equivalent to asking them to be in a relationship with you, and accepting the flower is to accept the relationship.

The giver can also cast a spell before giving it, where if accepted, the flower will then actually undergo a second blooming where it sheds the vines, and the spike opens up into a set of brilliant petals.

Favored by: Mammon, Diavolo, Leviathan

"Ahhhh, that was fun!" you exclaim with a stretch, ready to head to bed after a long night of gaming with Leviathan. "It's late though, I should probably get to sleep. Good night, Levi!"

"A-a-ah, MC, wait!!" he calls out to you just before you reach his door, his voice unintentionally almost a shout with nervousness. "Wait, I have something for you." He pulls a long, thin stem of a bizarre-looking flower from somewhere in his room and thrusts it towards you.

"Oh, what a...nice flower," you smile politely, taking it from his hands.

"Y-you'll really take it?! I know you probably don't want this from me, but you'll really accept it?" His words are gushing out with excitement.

In his excitement, sadly, he forgets to tell you what the flower actually means. But Asmo will be sure to tell you when he sees it in your room tomorrow.

Passing a Red Candle

Candles can often be symbolic in magic, and the Devildom is no exception.

Red candles, in particular, are known for representing the fire of love and passion.

For this reason, when a demon gives someone a red candle, it's akin to a confession -- essentially, they are "giving the fire of their love" to another.

The House of Lamentation, by the way, has a lot of red candles that just happen to be sitting around all the time...

Favored by: Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan

"Oh, Lucifer, perfect timing," you say as he enters the dimly lit library. You quickly thrust the plate of the red candle you were holding into his hands, explaining, "Would you hold this for me for a sec? I'm trying to get this book out, but it's so firmly wedged in here, it's a bit stuck, and I didn't want to put the candle somewhere where it could fall over."

The barest hint of a blush crosses his expression before it's quickly replaced with a mischievous smirk.

"Oh? MC, you ought to be careful who you give a candle like this to in the Devildom," he murmurs, placing a finger under your chin to turn your gaze back to him. "Or I'll have to take this as a sign you mean to surrender yourself to me."

Written Story

For demons, giving someone their grimoire is the ultimate sign of trust, as it is akin to surrendering complete power to that person.

Long ago, demons sometimes actually gifted each other their grimoires as part of marriage ceremonies, though it has generally fallen out of practice at this point.

However, the sentiment of the act is still quite popular, and as a symbolic equivalent, nowadays demons will sometimes write down a story from their life as a gift to their beloved.

Especially popular is for couples to choose a story about each other, such as when they met, a special date, etc.

Favored by: Satan, Belphegor, Barbatos

Come up to the attic, the text you get reads. I have something for you.

Even after everything, it's still one of Belphegor's favorite places to nap. You gently push open the door, half expecting him to already be asleep, but even though he's sitting comfortably on the bed, he's definitely awake and looks uncharacteristically nervous.

"What's up, Belphie?" you ask, taking a seat next to him.

"I told you, I have something for you." He passes you an envelope patterned like the worn cover of an old leather-bound book.

Inside, there's a single slip of paper, with just a short handwritten story describing the night he made the pact with you. You tilt your head at him with some confusion. "Thanks...? It's very sweet, but...what's this for?"

"Trust." A small smile tugs at his mouth, though he himself hardly even notices. "I told you I believe actions speak louder than words, didn't I? So here it is. All of my trust."

Gifted Locket

A much more direct way of courtship, some demons have partaken in the tradition of gifting a locket to their intended partner.

While this might sound rather ordinary on the surface, there is something particularly special about these lockets -- they are imbued with a special, intimate magic.

When one opens the locket, it pulses with the other's heartbeat -- mirroring it in real time.

It also feels warm, as if you are holding the other's hand instead of the locket.

Favored by: Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor

Beelzebub has never really been one to particularly fuss about with over-the-top romantic gestures, but with his brothers all fighting over you all the time, he wants to do something to express his feelings to you too.

"I wanted to give this to you," he says sweetly, handing you a lovely red jewelry box.

Inside, you find a beautiful, intricately designed locket, and to your surprise, it quickly warms in your hand when you click it open. And even more surprisingly, it begins pulsing as well.

He holds his hands over yours, mirroring the warmth from the locket. "So you can hold my hand any time you want," he explains with a gentle smile.

"Thank you, Beel. It's wonderful." You rest your head against his chest, feeling how the rhythm of the locket perfectly matches the reassuring, steady beat of his heart.

The Boutonniere's Challenge

At high-class Devildom weddings, it's common practice to serve something called a boutonniere elixir, a special kind of sparkling demonus with a single flower floating atop.

On its own, the drink tastes somewhat plain, much like any other kind of sparkling demonus.

However, if two individuals hold the chalice at the same time, even for just a moment, the cup reacts by warming up to represent the strength of their connection -- the hotter it becomes, the better a match they are.

The demonus inside, in turn, also transforms, lighting up and bubbling over, and becomes infused with the taste of the flower inside.

It is considered incredible good luck for both the pair and the marrying couple when a chalice of boutonniere elixir is spilled from the abrupt searing heat.

However, due to the pain of burning their hands on the goblet, it is often referred to as the "Boutonniere's Challenge."

Favored by: Satan, Asmodeus, Barbatos

"What a beautiful wedding!" you remark, clinking your glass against those of the others around you.

Just then, someone bumps your arm, causing the cup to start to slip from your fingers when one pristine butler quickly rushes to catch it. But, at the sudden feeling of searing heat against your fingertips and blinding light against your eyes, it only serves to make both of you drop it. "Ow!" you cry.

To your utter confusion, this somehow sends a wave of applause rippling through the entire wedding crowd.

With an apologetic smile, Barbatos takes your hand and pulls you towards him, completely ignoring the fallen chalice. "My apologies, MC, I should have been more careful, but it would appear that the cups think we're a good match. Now...let me heal that burn on your fingertips. Perhaps with a kiss?"

BONUS: Ceremonial Proposal Knives

When one wants to propose in the Devildom, they do so with beautiful, intricate ceremonial knives.

At the base of the blade, the proposing demon inscribes their personal sigil on one side and the intended recipient's sigil on the other, making each knife unique to the pair.

The handles, which can be made of various magical materials -- bone, onyx, gold, the wood of a special tree, etc. -- are personalized with engravings.

These engravings can tell a small story, or just be very symbolic of the relationship the involved parties share.

What makes these knives most special of all is that it is customary to infuse a part of oneself into the knife -- whether it be a feather, a scale, their venom, or blood, they are giving a part of themself to you.

If the recipient chooses to accept, the two of them hold hands over the blade, cutting their palms open to form a blood pact in the shared wounds.

The shared blood then seeps into the blade, imbuing it with both their magical energies.

"Weird things about humans The Demon Brothers used to believe in" Obey me! Headcanons

☁ This was so much fun to write! I had this sitting in my drafts for a long time because it was also very difficult to come up with (I had ideas only for Asmo and Beel at first) but the research I did to get some inspo was also very fun and it gave me another idea ;)) (I really didn't know how to properly title this :x)

Also, don't take it too seriously, some of these ideas may not make sense on the grand scale of things but it was all just for fun :)

──────────────────────────────

Lucifer

He's not the one who would believe in any stupid stuff, he had done his research on humanity... At least that's what he thought. He was a high-ranked angel back in the day and people worshipped him. When he fell down to Devildom, he thought nothing had changed (maybe to fulfill his pride). Imagine his surprise when he had learned that they, in fact, despise him.

Mammon

For the longest time, he thought that humans see just a few colors like dogs or sum. You noticed it when he was saying strange things like: "Your outfit looks very cohesive today, Y/N. You're doin' a great job even if it's so hard for ya." You had to prove to him that you see all the colors that he does.

Leviathan

Demons have their "true" demon forms so humans must have their "true" forms as well, right? He had seen "Hulk" and various anime, he's not stupid. He eventually learned that no, humans do not transform into any other form... He doesn't want to talk about it.

Satan

He had read Dante's "Divine Comedy" and was so intrigued by how he described Devildom in the first part of the poem - "Inferno". Not gonna lie, he was cracking up a little while reading it because his ideas were so far-fetched. For a long time, he thought all humans believe Dante's version to be a true representation of hell.

Asmodeus

He had no idea humans can't bathe in boiling hot water like demons. He found out about it shortly after you came to the Devildom. He prepared a bath for you with essential oils and rose petals after he had seen how the new environment stressed you out. You saw the bubbles on the surface of the water and steam coming out of the bathtub. You looked at Asmo in terror.

Beelzebub

It's common knowledge that humans are more fragile than demons but Beel took it to a whole new level. One time he accidentally hit you on the head with his elbow when he was digging through upper cabinets. He seriously thought you were going to die and raised an alarm only to find out it takes a little bit more to kill a human.

Belphegor

He used to visit the human world often before Lilith's passing. He stopped for a couple centuries because he couldn't bring himself to look at humans anymore (he was also locked in the attic lol), but it's not like a lot could've changed during that time, right? A century feels like a week for an immortal demon... Huh? Drones? Teslas? Skyscrapers? Oh, shi-

28/3/21 (don’t give a shit how long this is, imma use this stupid amount of attention my rant got properly)

Now maybe it’s tokenistic,.. maybe tumblr doesn’t have as much media presence as Twitter or Instagram..

But where fucking else on the internet or on major social media platforms do you have Black Lives Matter be pinned as number 1 on trending for the past 9-10 fucking months??

And now I believe they’ve done the same for Stop Asian Hate?

Some people may say it’s an empty gesture but if you’re wanting information or resources or just wanna keep up to date with what progress (or lack thereof) has been made, in either mission, then it’s right. Fucking. There.

And those all lives matter, racist, bigoted motherfuckers out there that are trying to suggest that only one of the movements can exist at a time or are in any way in competition with each other and therefore cannot support each other, you are gonna have to shut your fucking mouth and get the fuck away from my blog because you don’t deserve to be here unless you manage to pull your head outta your ass, educate yourself and do the right thing.

Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate are fighting their specific fights. There is no denying that. But their message is the same.

We deserve to live without persecution or fear because of our skin and/or where we come from.

As someone who is AAPI, but not living in America, just wanna make it clear.

This right here is fucking history, and I’m hoping y’all are staying safe.

A post on Breonna Taylor and how her murderers have still not been punished accordingly, a year after her death

A fair point about performative activism, which is something I hope I am not guilty of doing (even as a POC) but probably am:

Article on how BLM and SAH are fighting on the same field (albeit a different battle)

A donation master post for BLM organisations, black owned businesses etc. it’s a bit older so maybe not all the links are active but I figure it’s still just as relevant
