Rib and Cricket cause existential dread!

Of course far far away from canon, but this is my mental image of Breeze from Mistborn. I always think about him as a mix between LOK's Varrick and Lord Henry Wotton personality-wise, with a bit of MCU Loki, just because green suit and styled black hair

Anyone else disappointed in Lucifer Season 5B?

I seriously yelled "wth is this, Supernatural?!?" at my TV in the final 15 minutes.

And WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO IN SEASON 6???

There's nothing to do. Season 5B felt so lackluster compared to previous seasons. The stakes didn't feel high enough. The deaths didn't hit hard enough. The jokes weren't there. They were winding down and it felt like it.

The hell is it that my favorite shows always have terrible last seasons???

[littledevil-jpeg]

Oh shit, they right. I don't think this was deliberate as well, I think they just forgot

DO YOU LOVE THE COLOR OF THE SKY, MR MINECRAFT?

Aka me bullshitting Phil’s wings and outfits + everyone’s anatomy.

I would like all of you to know that he definitely drops Techno and maybe Tommy.

Edit: oof that drop in quality. Rip.

However far into headcannon territory this is, I'm on board. S6, please, be better than 5b🙏

the way michael hates himself so much he was ready to accept death both times without even trying to fight it

how do you play a kind prank on someone?

I’ve told this story before, but I will again.

When I lived in London, there was an old widow who lived near me. She had almost nothing to her name thanks to the laws at the time, except a small room in a house full of lodgers. She frequently made the difference in her meager living by doing spinning. Trouble was, she was almost completely blind and had very frail hands. She would nod off in her chair–the one piece of furniture she had–and leave the wool in the basket. I could see her from the rooftop that I liked to sit on, just off of Fish Street. And I knew her at sight, because she was always meeting her daughter in front of a particular shop I used to frequent. One night, I saw her nod off and the spindle hit the floor, and I thought, “I’m bored, and isn’t this a fun game to play?”

So I went and did it. I like spinning. It’s calming. It troubled me not one bit to do, and when the habit persisted, she began to wonder about it. She started leaving me presents and relying on me a bit, going to sleep on her mat, rather than sitting up in the chair. The spinning would always be done. 

What wrong with giving an old woman magic, if it is within your power to do?

I found her body when she died, by that very means, and made sure someone else knew of it. It makes me very happy that when she laid down that night, perhaps not feeling her best, or perhaps knowing it was time, she said to herself, “My little imp will come tonight and see to me.”

And I did.

GOLD

I just had to do this. I'm sorry!

I laughted out loud at this T.T And I was wondering why that landing looked so awkward, now I know🤣

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HE TWISTS HIS ANKLE AHAHAH

Mikey

[littledevil-jpeg]

In continuation of this, I just got a crazy idea. Maybe, in the vein of Ella's recent 'development' and discovering her darker side (I must admit, due partly to disliking Ella and partly to boredom, I skipped most of her solo scenes), they'll have her and Michael be together? Would that not work, at least in some capacity, to enhance her "broken picker" idea, and maaaaybe achieve some dual development? For her&him, through, I don't know, a redemption via relationship for Michael? Obviously, done by everyone and their grandma (I mean it: Hordak, Flynn Rider, Lucifer himself, Meruem, Killua in a way, Annie, just off the top of my head), but as we've seen, this show is not above tired cliches (evil twin? I still can't get over it), may as well take one of the better ones. Of course, the execution will make or break this, and though I have little faith left in the writers, if you'll excuse the word "writers", of this show after 5b, I still have some. So perhaps this is one way they'll do it. I'm still 100% convinced Michael will have something to do with saving Dan from Hell and helping him move on or, unlikely, come back to life (that's another thing. Much hypocritical, to bring Chloe back because it's "not her time", but not Dan). Ella, eeeh, we'll see. Maybe they'll manage to make me actually enjoy her time on screen, maybe they'll surprise me.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or some shit, but I'm seeing some potential in Michael, as per the hint at the end of season 5b. Overall, the themes and flaws of his character can be written very, very well, and generally fall into the stuff I enjoy in character writing: insecurity, envy, cowardice. All of these I've seen being done exceptionally, with a negative or positive character arc, which in this case, if it is, will probably be positive - let's be honest, there's little space for Michael to fall as a person, he can only grow.

So by potential I mean some interesting character development, to spice it up, a redemtion arc, or in general something to give Michael a little more depth and complexity. Lucifer seems to imply at the end that Michael can change, and that actually got me really interested and thinking about his arc in season 6. Tom Ellis gave an interview where he said he wouldn't be playing the double role between Michael and Lucifer as much next season, which perhaps implies Michael won't be appearing as much in 6. So maybe my speculation is off the mark, but if it isn't, I'm really intrigued by where they take the character and his inner conflicts. Now that Lucifer's maybe (?) become God, or at least earned Heaven's acceptance, suddenly I feel like his character isn't as interesting anymore and doesn't have as much space to grow, as much potential left in him. I tend to root for the characters that are not victors or heroes, and I do like an angsty redemption arc (Endeavor, Jaime Lannister, Reiner in a way), and even more than that I like a character who's constantly in a clash with themselves and their flaws. And flaws like envy and cowardice are the more disgusting ones (unlike wrath and self-hatred, because while these can be done just as well, they aren't usually portrayed as truly dispicable), which is why it's all the more rewarding to see a character struggle with them. For this reason I liked, say, Endeavor so much, for how real and actually repulsive his fears, jealousies and insecurities were, and what he let himself do because of them, and how he dealt with that. Lucifer much angsts over people blaming him for things he didn't do, but it's much more interesting when a character gets retribution for something they did do, knowingly and out of their own free will (again, Jaime, Enji). Lucifer sees himself as a monster when he isn't, but it's much more interesting when that happens with a character who really, really is, or was, and better if they are not that person anymore.

Then, Michael's thing is fear, and just like Lucifer was uno-reversed with the desire question, I hope to see some of that for Michael next season. Maybe something to do with Dan in Hell and helping him out, maybe a Meruem-like storyline with learning about humanity and being humbled, or maybe generally growing into less of a dick. Of course, I'm aware the show's called "Lucifer", not "Michael", so I don't really expect much at all. All I'm saying is that there's a heap of potential there, and I really want to see what they do with it.

[littledevil-jpeg]

Okay, I am no simp for one-dimensional characters, but THIS. It's probs Tom's acting more than anything (wouldn't want too much credit to go to the, khm, "writers") but in that moment he looked so human. And then the redemption arc hint... season 6 better take notes on this failure and break out the good writing.

Oh no I hope I don't fall...

*defeated, kneeling Michael entered the chat"

I...

Forgive me new God but your brother 😌

[littledevil-jpeg]

i understand why some people would like lucifer 5b…….. but that’s not me. i thought it was so bad. i hate the god storyline for lucifer so much, and how chloe quit the lapd, and how they killed off dan trying to make it seem meaningful when he’s been nothing but the punchline for five seasons, and how quickly eve and maze got back together, and just……. no. no. not for me

[littledevil-jpeg]

Okay, so last post I was giving Lucifer 5B some credit for getting me interested and intrigued about a shitty character, so, as all things should be balanced, here comes the other side of the question. I'll say right off the bat that Lucifer was never a show I took seriously, all at once because of the tone, the way they chose to develop and delve into the themes, the monster-of-the-week format (though also done in spn, there it's redeemed by the darker tone and more subtle theme-development. Obviously, this is S1-S5 I'm talking about) and again the overall way this world works. I've been known to accuse Cobra Kai and even Breaking Bad for coincidence-bending, but they don't even come close to the level of Lucifer here. Then, of course, there's how easy everything is, like a bloody sled on ice: drugs - no problem, kill someone - no problem, infiltrate a mafia group - no fooking problem. How? Well, glaze over that, it's not that important. Except it is. Remember how in that same Breaking Bad Walter's team spent considerable chunks of the show planning, hiding evidence, preparing, measuring little details, diligently covering up their tracks. And they were only involved in a measly drug manufacturing business. Imagine the shit Lucifer runs, with crime bosses, drugs, demons and prostitutes piling out of his front door. Obviously it's a show about angels and demons, and the realism isn't the focus of the program, but still, these things matter. There's always a convenience to it. Like, oh, you need to infiltrate the Russian mafia or some shit? Don't worry, I know a guy - and poof, problem gone. That's not even to mention the universe bending out of shape all around Lucifer, everyone (Chloe especially) putting up with his humiliating bullshit, the fact that he would be kicked out the police in anything even remotely resembling real life, that the mc's get away with almost everything, the unrealistic dialogue that no human irl ever speaks, the second-hand embarrassment, the cheesy "morale" speeches, the dull, predictable cases that are all done by the same formula... and more. So okay, there's a lot, a lot, of problems with this show. Which is why no one really takes it that seriously, we all know it's kind of trashy. But "kind of trashy" is one thing. Now, when season 5 introduces a genuine "evil twin" that we're meant to take with even a bit of seriousness, in the footsteps of such chef d'oeuvres as Dispicable Me 3, when that twin is the most caricature-like villain in recent history, when the allmighty is a buffoon with half a brain, forget omniscient, and isn't even in-line with the stuff he's done before, when one of the main cast is offed as though mid-sentense, with no lead-up, no foreshadowing, no preamble, like a toss of a dice, when the main character is on a race to become God himself, and his love interested Mrs God, and when, oh, Jesus fucking Christ, just stop already! I truly wonder if the writer's room a big dart board with all these drunk-ass ideas stuck onto it, and they blind throw to make the next season. It's finally hitting me now, as I'm writing this, what on god's green earth I watched yesterday.

Why does Lucifer need to become God? Why does a war in Heaven even have to be introduced? Why not focus of the more intricate inter-personal conflicts on Earth, on the characters and their mentalities, on those meaningful arcs that hold actual importance, and emotion, and down-to-earth (lol), well, meaning again. Why do we need a heavenly war? Why does Lucifer need the approval of the angels, when the moral seems to be that he makes himself who he is, not his status, not his people, not his past and not the Silver City (an excellent moral, by the way, so credit where it's due. This self-actualisation business is the second best thing in the whole show)? I get that this is why the majority vote doesn't work, but then what does work? Are they ment to self-actualise into becoming God? Now, I'm aware it's left uncertain whether Luci really is God, so I won't go there for now, but then we have the issue of his resurrection. Was it a reward for self-sacrifice? That wouldn't fit so well, considering all the previous sacrifices that were much more impressive than this one. And what's the philosophy behind that - he's acting out of love? But to what end, if by dying he practically fucked all the other people on Earth, including the very same Chloe he just brough back down? Are these really the qualities for a God to have?

Or did he once again self-actualise, but this time he actualised himself to life? That would truly be a stake-killer. I saw a theory that he finally saw himself as worthy of Heaven, which doesn't quite link to coming back to life. Well, these are perhaps, once again, speculations, and maybe this will be cleared up next season. As for Lucifer's God status, it's a shitty move on the writers' part. Not only was the execution rushed, but thematically, again, Lucifer becoming God to feel worthy of Chloe is nonsense. From a plot and theme standpoint, why does this need to happen? This Godly status holds no meaning, no emotional worth, it's not fullfilling, not symbolic of anything fitting other than that same old "bad to good" and I guess the irony of the Devil becoming God, but the irony is an empty one if it has no real meaning. Which is the case. The whole thing is empty of substance, and I don't know why they went there. You know, it's hollow anyway, not least because Lucifer really doesn't deserve it. Even this season, he is nothing but a child - he acts and thinks like a child, he unchangeably does the same "projecting" bs from season to season to season with no actual sign of emotional maturity other than that in the words of other characters. But you can say he's different all you want, it's not gonna work if the subtle signs of his change aren't there. Say, imagine if Endeavor kept running his mouth about atonement, but kept dutifully abusing his kids - this is that. And yeah, Lucifer loves Chloe in his own way, cares about her, and even comes out of his self-absorbed little world for her, which by the way bugged me about their uneven relationship since season 1 (you know, treating her like shit with a flimsy excuse and then "making up" for it with a grand gesture of sacrifice or a round of angsty suffering. Time after time, every time.)

And finally, of course, there's the issue of how inconsiderate it is to Chloe for him to become God. I mean, it's dead obvious no relationship will be possible there, not without becoming even more unhealthy than it already seems. Themathic significance and meaning aside, even then, even in-universe, it's a shitty thing Lucifer does, again, for himself. So that he feels worthy of Chloe. What she feels, once he's made it his goal to do something, essentially doesn't matter anymore. And the plot fascilitates this splendidly, I mean, she always forgives him without fault like a well-oiled machine. Always, whatever he does, and it's gotten old a long time ago. We know Lucifer can do anything, anything at all, and he will be forgiven - by Chloe, by Maze, by Dan, by Linda, by Amenadiel, by anyone that he needs to forgive him. You'll be lucky if they don't do it the same episode, and extraordinarily lucky if it takes them three or four.

There are many other things to discuss this season, like Dan's ridiculously badly written death, Chloe's whole character stagnation, the, khm, the musical episode, the saturaday morning cartoon villain problem, the fact that Michael manages to descieve an omniscient being, and God himself. I might do those separately, might not, we'll see, as those aren't nearly as interesting to dissect as the above.

Aaaand, anyway, if he is now God, I strongly suspect they'll play the angle of "even though he's God, he stills feels shitty, as true self-love/worth comes from elsewhere" and the usual thing.
