Something about Asmo makes me fucking crazy. The fact that his party girl persona is just that- a persona, one that he’s hanging on to by his fucking fingernails. There’s a UR+ card I got ages ago (it’s a snow related card. Cannot remember the name off the top of my head) and one of his unlocked chats is just so devastating. He’s so incapable of being honest about how he feels/what he’s thinking that he’s practically begging the MC to listen to what he’s saying, to try and understand what he’s telling you. because if he had to come right out and say how he feels about you or himself or anything at all it would destroy him. He’s clinging on to the ghost of a reputation he had before the fall and constructing a new one around its long dead corpse. To acknowledge anything outside of that would pick apart what he’s worked so hard to convince people of. And when Simeon calls him out on it he has to deny deny deny, he’s irritated and uncomfortable because he’s aware of it. Like yes he can be so silly and whiny and even toxic but the thing is that Asmo is smart. Like, really smart. He knows he’s a house of cards, and whenever anything threatens his stability he has to find a way to come out on top. He has to have control or else it’s all coming down. I mean that’s even showcased by the pact offer between him and the MC (I’d argue that it applies to his pact with Solomon as well). Idk I’m just obsessed with characters who have the world and everything in it but all they want is to be genuinely and deeply loved. Bonus points if they’re in Asmo’s position, where surface level affection and adoration from others is guaranteed and equally desired but doesn’t scratch that itch, doesn’t fill that void with something they know they’re missing but just can’t figure out. I rlly wish Solmare had done more with his character because he has so so much potential that they just hint at before pushing him aside. Ironic that even the devs don’t want to fully explore past the charade they gave him

asmodeus with naturally brown eyes but thinks those aren't "alluring" or "compelling" enough for the prince of lust so he wears colored contacts and/or does a spell to change his eye color

He very much does this. Not to get boring and talk about the theology of sins but lust is about projection of personal desire onto a person without consideration of their humanity. At least in theory right, the way we talk about the sin of lust is greatly affected by purity culture, at least in the U.S, but i digress. Brown is the most common eye color in the world, there is no reason to degrade it as basic or dull, but people do it anyway. As the object of all the world's desires given physical form, he can't be seen with such a basic set of eyes. It's what you want right? He can't be doing this for no reason.

Not that I would recommend this anime, but my inspiration for the way Asmodeus's powers work comes from Seven Deadly Sins's avatar of lust Gowther. He is a robot, an artificial life form who wants to understand human emotion and uses his ability to edit people's memories and perception of reality to try and achieve that goal. This Asmo can do much the same, he can warp your mind until you think he looks like your perfect person and he's been around long enough to play pretty much any role, at least for a night. "That's all I'll need" as the saying goes. But he still looks the same. He still has to live with himself and the way he looks, or does he? Is he still himself or is he the perception of the people around him?

He's uh, not doing very well at the moment. Hopefully you'll be somewhat ok with that, he does really value your opinion, MC.

"I would die for you, I would kill for you" okay but would you live for me. Would you go outside and watch the birds go by for me. Would you breathe in the air and savor it and think about how it tastes just that little bit sweeter for me. Would you stop self deprecating for me. Would you love yourself for me.
