Hey-o! I was wondering if you could do a Obey me platonic oneshot where the reader asks lucifer "hey why can't mammon indulge in his sin I mean asmo can and so can beel and I just don't get it" like they're genuinely curious bc they just don't understand at all and he get defensive in his usual avatar of pride way and subtly is like "why can't he???" And avoids the reader?? If this doesn't make sense or if you just don't wanna do it feel free to ignore this!
Whatever do you mean? (Ft. Mammon, Lucifer and GN!MC)
Warnings: Season 1 spoilers, Mentions of MC almost getting killed, minor injuries (?)
Word count: 0.6k
A/N: Thank you so much for your request! I'm hopeful this is sort of what you were looking for, I wasn't entirely sure where to take the story. The ending is kind of open, but I could definitely make a part 2 :D Also, finally after *checks calendar* 9 months, Lucifer finally makes an appearance in a story!
I think I added all the right warnings, if I should add any, please let me know!
-Ethereal ^J^
Story below, please don't claim as your own!
This week had been chaotic.
Things were almost always chaotic in the House of Lamentation, but you felt that this week had to have hit some sort of record.
Then again, you felt like that most weeks.
Regardless, by the time Saturday rolled around, you were more than ready to slip on your headphones and stay in your own world the rest of the day.
You hummed along to the music as you walked down the stairs.
Then stopped as something hit you on the head.
“Ow-!” You bent down, picking up the offending object. It was a very familiar pair of sunglasses.
Curious, you glanced up.  
“Whoops, my bad!”
Mammon was currently dangling from the chandelier, strung up by his ankles. 
You stared, dumfounded, at the ceiling. “What are you doing up there?”
“I’m baking a friggin’ cake.” Mammon rolled his eyes. “What do you think I’m doing up here?”
“You know that’s not what I meant,” you said, rolling your eyes right back. “Why are you up there?”
“Lucifer got all pissy when he found out I was at the casino last night,” Mammon said. “Said I had to ‘restrain myself when it came to my sin’ or something like that. I’ve only been there once this month! That’s not even that bad!”
“Last night?” You exclaimed. “You’ve been up there the whole night!?”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
You hesitated for a moment. The consequences from Lucifer could be extreme, but it’s not like you could just leave Mammon up there…
“Okay, give me a second, I’ll help you down.”
***
Soon enough, Mammon was down from the ceiling. (Basically, you cut the ropes and he hit the ground face first. Good thing demons were more durable than humans…) You’d told him to get out of here just in case Lucifer came back, and you didn’t have to tell him more than once.
You decided to hang back for a moment and clean up the ropes. Leaving a tripping hazard on the stairs seemed like a recipe for (another) disaster.
Suddenly, you felt a hand clamp down on your shoulder.
You jumped, dropping the ropes in your arms. 
“A-hem.”
Of course, you’d been caught by the eldest brother. Reluctantly, you turned around.
“Where’s Mammon?” He asked with an unimpressed glare.
“Um…geez…I dunno-“
Lucifer held up one hand, using the other to pinch the bridge of his nose. “Just…don’t. I was about to let him down anyways. But don’t do that again, understand me?”
You nodded quickly.
“Wonderful. I’ll be seeing you, then.” He started towards the steps.
“Wait, can I ask you something?” You knew you were probably pushing your luck, but you’d had this question for a while. “Why is Mammon punished for his sin so much more often than everyone else?”
He turned around to look at you. “What ever do you mean?”
“I mean, like, Beel literally tried to kill me over some custard. Levi tried to kill me because he got jealous I won a contest, Satan tried to kill me because he got mad— you get the point.”
“Yes, that’s true.” He said.
“I…I know it is…I was there. That wasn’t the point,” you clarified. “I mean like, they barely got in trouble for it-“
“Would you like me to punish them for it?” He asked.
“What? No, I-? Maybe? I don’t know!”
“You’re not making any sense,” he said.
“Just-!” You paused for a second to recollect your train of thought. You turned around, resuming your collection of the ropes.
“It’s just, why can’t Mammon indulge in his sin?”
“Can’t he?” Lucifer questioned. “Wasn’t he out all of last night doing that?”
“That’s not what I mean-!” You turned around to look at him, but saw nothing.
He was gone.
“Well…okay then,” you threw your free hand up, and headed toward the garbage. You’d get an answer out of him one day…you were sure of it.
(You weren’t.)

Y’all, I’m starting an M/C, and giving them distinctive personalities because I have no dedication to making OC’s so here’s a list of MC’s I’ve come up with!
+ brief descriptions,
I’ll only write for CisFemale, or attempt gender neutral though some female context may slip through, I apologize, I just don’t feel comfortable writing for male reader due to not having any experience, I hold nothing against male readers, I just have no experience and wouldn’t want to upset anyone if I write something wrong, thank you.
Angel Mc
- oblivious to romantic gestures
- nice overall average person without the anger
- loves to bake and cook, very domestic
- coddles Luke and has wings and sun halo on display always
-seraphim, has six wings, internally intimidated by the brothers due to Lucifer having been a Seraphim and fallen and fears of doing the same
- loves flowing white extravagant gowns, claimed there’s something ethereal about them
Toxic Mc
- Would genuinely hurt anyone and then find a way to make them believe it was their own fault
- Loves the physical body and temptations but it never goes past the surface
- Jealously doesn’t fuel envy, jealousy fuels wrath
- Makes the brothers cry and then makes them apologize
- Fears? Being alone and will manipulate anyone and everyone to stay so their never alone
- someone’s flirting with their toy? Clings to their toy and makes a show and once the competition is gone throws them to the side
- showy, narcissistic, hungry for all the attention in the world
- “Romance is dead and so it my heart”
Demon Form Mc
- Regular Mc, BUT! With a Demon form!
- Pretty average,
- Harem of Demons
- Is only human
- many flaws but! What they lack in brains! …. They make up in being a pain
- Chaotic neutral
- “What’s IN THE ATTIC!?”
- “Dead, I’m alive, but I’m dead…”
- Simp.
Domestic Sub Wife
- Cooks, cleans, bakes, watches the kids and keeps the nana sweet
- Takes orders and guess what? Actually listens✨
- wears knee skirts with thigh highs, always has a cute apron??? Is on the chubbier side
- Loyalty Level: Minecraft Pet Wolf
- flustered easily, goes quiet and avoids eye contact when complimented
- insult her man, she fluffs up and fills with the wrath of an angry mother hen who is more than willing to chase you down or away
- splurges on Lingerie and wears it everyday, is actually very lewd behind closed doors
Mammon MC
- “Beware of Mc” sigh on Mammons door
- “InsuLT MAMMON I DARE YOU”
- Ready at the call to bite, attack or snap in an instant
- sixth sense??? Popped into a room and gave Satan an evil eye who closed his mouth before he insulted Mammon
- interrupts Lucifer’s scoldings
- Hunts Mammon down and cuts him from the ceiling
- have you ever watched the movie Spirit? No? Watch it, that scene where rain gets between Spirit and the Native American and screams/neighs at Spirit agressively, That’s M/C
- Smothers mammon in love, is secure about their relationship,
- Swerves everyone else,
- Trusts Mammon and warned him that she DOES NOT PLAY the jealousy game
- Love is patient, Love is kind, Love does not envy
(Last updated: 9:06PM , 10/31/2021 )
This is my Crack Match up that I never wanna lose 🤍🤍🤍

Replaced part 2
Part 1
Genre: angst. Angst with a happy ending, fluff
A/N: The 2nd part in the replaced!mc au that I wrote a couple days ago. Enjoy! Its super long: 9 1/2 pages long with a 4.6k word count.
-------------------------------------------------
Blinding lights cloud Arella’s vision as she wakes. Her head turns to the side as she blinks, seeing nothing but a white vastness. Where was she? The human pushes herself up as someone calls out to her, a woman- no she’s an angel, Arella is sure of it from the way an ethereal glow seems to emanate from her form. She takes a moment to look over the angel in front of her.
Tan, freckled skin, black hair weaved with golden strands that ended at the middle of her back in soft curls, vibrant sea-green eyes- Arella thinks she’s the most beautiful thing to have ever existed. Her dress and wings are a pristine white save for the singe marks along the outer layers of her wings’ feathers and the bottom of her dress and the arrow that pierces through the center of her chest. It doesn’t take the human long to figure out who the angel standing in front of her is.
“Lilith...”
The angel only smiles sadly at her descendant. She crouches down next to Arella, brushing her curly black hair away from her face and the tears come forth almost instantly.
“They left me...” Arella’s voice is small. “They didn’t love me anymore.”
“But they do... And they always will.” The angel pulls her into an embrace as she speaks softly. “My brothers have always taken things for granted. It’s only once they’ve lost something important to them that they realize it’s worth.”
“What do I do next? What happens now?”
“Go back to them. Not as a human, but a demon.”
“How- !?” A terrible burning engulfs Arella’s body and suddenly she’s falling. Falling down, down, down, until the bright white light and Lilith disappear from view. Her skin- it feels like its burning away as she plunges deeper.
The next thing she knows, Arella is gasping for breath as air rushes into her lungs and the smell of Mammon’s cologne invades her sense of smell, his hold nearly crushing as he cradles her closer to his chest. She can hear Diavolo speaking but his words are garbled- a jumbled mess of word salad drowned out by the fire scorching her skin from the inside out. The way her entire body hurts is all she can think about as she succumbs to the comforting darkness of sleep.
-------------------------------------------------
When she wakes, its two days later. Everything feels sharper. Her sight is better than it’s ever been. She can hear the crows cawing from the aviary on the other side of the house. She can even smell the individual scents of the brothers who were still up in their rooms and...
“You’re awake?” Melissa’s soft voice makes Arella recoil. Even as a whisper, it sounds like she’s screaming at Arella. “Oh no, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt your ears.”
“It’s... Please... Just let me have a few moments...”
Melissa nods and just sits quietly beside the newly awakened demon. It takes a few moments to get a hold of herself and get her newly sharpened senses in check but Arella manages to push herself into a sitting position.
“Would you like to talk?” The blonde asks softly, “I feel like we should clear up a misunderstanding...”
“What’s there to misunderstand?” Arella asks. “It seems pretty cut and dry to me... they chose you and cast me aside like a broken toy that had lost its novelty.”
“I’m sure it felt like that. And it's my fault, that much I’ll agree to. I should have never asked them to help me land a date with Satan... this wouldn’t have happened, right? I can understand if you despise me.”
Arella laughs at that. She doesn’t know why but despite being mad at six out of the seven brothers for not communicating this to her, it was entertaining to her. Was that all it was? Was all of this caused by something so simple as that? Arella knew her boys often had a one-track mind but this was so ridiculous, both on her part and theirs. She rolled off the bed as she laughed, tears streaming down her cheeks as her demon form manifested itself for the first time. Melissa only peered over the side of the bed at Arella, a worried look in her brown eyes as the laughter died down and the former human climbed back up on the bed.
“Are you... angry? With me?”
“Not with you but-” They were interrupted by the sound of three sets footsteps thumping down the hall above her head and before she knew it, Arella found herself back on the floor but this time pinned under Mammon who’s holding on to her with all of his strength as two of his brothers stood in the doorway having gotten there too late to stop him.
“Hey, Dumbass,” It’s Levi’s voice that she hears as he draws closer, “You’re going to crush her crashing into her full force like that!” The purple-haired demon tried to pull his brother away receiving a feral growl in response.
“Mammon, stop! Right now.” Arella tries to use their pact to enforce the order but.... It’s not there anymore. The Avatar of Greed only holds her tighter to him. There was nothing that would separate him from his mate- not after the way he was this close to losing her.
At some point by working together, Beel and Levi were able to pry the white-haired demon off of Arella and she sat up. That’s right... she had died so she no longer held pacts with the seven brothers. But if she had died, why was she here? Ignoring the chaos happening around her between the three brothers, she looked into the floor length mirror and softly gasped at her appearance.
A set of fluffy, feathered, black wings adorned her back while a set of horns jutted out from her head in a way that was not too dissimilar from Belphegor’s. She had black markings that framed the side of her face and reached out to just under her eyes and a crescent shaped one on her forehead. The newly turned demon only squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head. She’s supposed to be dead! Why still breathing and why does she have a demonic form all of a sudden?!
As Mammon and his brothers continued to squabble over Arella, she curled in on herself, holding her hands over her ears. “All of you, just SHUT UP!” Sobs shook her body as the other demons turned their attention to her. Their voices were too loud and her ears were still too sensitive to loud sounds to the point if felt like the sensory overload was going to make her head explode.
“’Rella... I...” The Avatar of Greed, now free of Beel and Levi’s hold, reaches out to place his hand on her shoulder but is stopped when one of her wings slaps his hand away.
“Get out! All three of you... you... you should have just let me die like I wanted...”
And it's with that that the three Avatars look between each other before slowly leaving. Once the boys had gone, Melissa slowly moved over to Arella’s place on the floor, wrapping her arms around the other female as she comforted her.
-------------------------------------------------
It’s nearly midnight now as the Avatars sit in silence in the common room. They had met to discuss a way to reforge the bond they had shared with the human-now-turned-demon, but no words had been said. They all knew who should be the first of them to do this but it was the how. How did they even begin to approach her at this point? Mammon was for having no plan at all, just playing the situation by ear. It’s not like she could overpower him in anyway. What’s the worst she could do? Kick him in the shins? Not something he hadn’t survived already.
“Well, since none of ya still have a plan yet- and it doesn’t look like any of ya are gonna come up with one soon- I'm going ta see her.” The white-haired demon stands and starts to make his way toward her room with no objections from his brothers as there was no other alternative they could offer him. He knows what she’s feeling- like she was abandoned, unloved. As her mate he wanted to fix all that- that was his responsibility. His brothers could make up with her later but he needed to do this right now. He was her first after all, he needed to be the first to talk to her.
As he opened her bedroom door, Melissa was leaving at the same time.
“So, you’re back... good I was just coming to find you. I tried to explain everything but I don’t think it worked and she still seems convinced you don’t love her anymore... Obviously this is something only you can fix so I’ll just leave you two to it. Also... I think she needs help changing back out of her demon form... she keeps knocking things over with her wings and getting agitated.”
The blonde gives her friend a pat on the arm as she headed off to find the others.
Slowly, Mammon entered her room. At the sound, the feathers on Arella’s wings puffed up, the wings herself raising to make herself more intimidating to him and he has to bite his cheek to keep from laughing at how ridiculous she looks like that. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it.
“Put yer wings down, baby. Ya don’t scare me. I wanna talk to you.”
“Well, that’s funny. I don’t want to talk to you,” Arella growled. “You made your choice and it didn’t include me.” She crossed her arms as she turned her back to him. It was cute in a way.
“Then how ‘bout I jus’ do the talkin’ then? Will ya just’ listen?” He offered her a deal, watching as her wings drooped slightly and he knew he had her. Even as a demon, Arella was incapable of not lending a listening ear when asked for it.
“Fine,” She huffed. “You won’t leave until you say whatever you want too anyway but I don’t care about whatever lies you have for me. I already know the truth.”
“Sure, whatever ya say, doll.” He moved to sit on her bed, goading her into talking to him.
“What’s that supposed to mean, huh?!” She stomped over to him a pout on her face. “I’ll have you know, I’m very angry with you. You-!”
Mammon cut her off with a kiss as he pulled her down on the bed with him. The surprise was enough to shock her out of demon form as she wrapped her arms around his neck. When he pulled away, he held her gaze with his.
“I’m sorry for not bein’ there for ya... I messed up- alla us did and we’re so sorry but don’t think for a second that I don’t love ya. Ya mean the world ta me.”
“You sure have a funny way of showing it, you infuriating demon. I heard the two of you flirting in the dining room that one night... You didn’t even ask her to stop.”
“Yeah, it sure probably sounded like that, didn’t it? We weren’t flirting with each other. Melissa asked me to help her practice her pick-up lines for Satan. She ain’t interested in me and I made it clear I wasn’t lookin’ for it if she was ‘cuz I had you.” he poked a finger at the center of her chest.
“But... but... You didn’t say anything. Why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped too.”
“’Cuz I’m a idiot and it never occurred to me what kinda impression you’d get from it. C’mon, Treasure, this ain’t news.” He tries to flash her a smile. “’N before I knew it, almost a year had passed... I felt really guilty and tried ta call ya... but you’d already made up yer mind... Ya got me good, kid. I learned my lesson the hard way...”
Arella frowned as she watched his eyes for any sign of a lie. “How am I still alive? How did I suddenly become a demon...? I carved that long gash up my arm deep for a reason.”
“We gave ya my blood... jus’ a small amount but it did the trick. We turned ya and ya healed up immediately.” He pressed their foreheads together. “None of us know what we’d do without ya. And the fact that we almost lost ya two days ago scares us... We’ll make it up to you somehow. Even if it takes thousands of years.”
“You, specifically, can start tonight. Do you know how many date nights or movie nights you’ve missed? How much I’ve missed just having you in bed with me? I’m not letting you go for the rest of the night!” Arella hugs him closer to her. “That’s what you can do start making it up to me.”
“Yeah, sure thing, Babydoll, but we’re gonna sleep in my room. Ya don’t need this room anymore.” he hums as he shifts his arms under her and lifts her up, carrying her up to his room for the night.
-------------------------------------------------
The pair sleeps so late into the next morning that they end up missing breakfast. By time they come remotely close to even wanting to roll out of bed, Levi is already banging on Mammon’s door.
“It's noon already, guys! Get your butts out of bed! You’ve had Arella too long! Stop being greedy with her.” It's not the Avatar of Envy’s typical wakeup call but desperate times call for desperate measures. He had a whole stock pile of games he was dying to play but was saving the initial play through to be with Arella and he couldn’t take it anymore. Unlike Melissa, she was actually in to all the niche horror games that were supposed to come out over the past year.
“What’s he ramblin’ about now?” The Avatar of Greed looks up at his door before letting his head fall back on the pillow as he groaned. “I don’t wanna get up yet.”
“Then you can stay in bed.” Arella presses a kiss to his cheek before rolling away from his grasp. “I think your brother is only interested in me anyway considering he’s not saying anything about the money you owe him.
“But I don’t want you ta go,” The demon gives his mate the biggest puppy dog eyes in an attempt to get her to come back to bed with him. “Levi’ll keep ya all day.”
“And you’ll have me all night. I promise. Besides, I missed hanging out with him.” She turns to the door. “I’ll be there shortly, Levi!”
“Fiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeee,” Mammon groans, sulking just a little bit and Arella laughs at his reaction.
“Oh? Is that a hint of sulking I detect coming from you?” Her tone is teasing, “You- the demon who’s been ghosting me for the past eleven months to the point where I thought you weren’t interested in our relationship anymore- is sulking because I’m going to end up spending the rest of one day with your little brother? I’m starting to detect double standards here, my dear.”
“Oh, shaddup,” He chucked a pillow at her head as they both laughed. “Just go and get dressed.”
“I will,” She made a ‘hmph’ like sound before running off to change out of her pajamas. “I’m stealing one of your flannels by the way.” She informs him as she walks out of the walk-in closet fully dressed.
“The hell you are!” He scrambles out of bed and chases her down as she leaps up the stairs and makes a break for it down the hall toward Levi’s room. As she runs, Arella thinks maybe being a demon has its perks after all.
-------------------------------------------------
“So what games are we playing first?” Arella makes herself comfortable on the floor next to the third born.
“It's another time loop horror game where if you don’t solve the mystery before times up your character has a permadeath and you have to go through everything again with the suspect being a new person each time. I promise this time it won’t affect us... Maybe.”
Arella laughs at that, remembering back to that time where they had to ferret out someone’s wish before the time loop reset. “Let’s just hope for your sake it doesn’t. I dread to see what Lucifer might do to you.”
“Yeah,” the purple-haired demon smiles as they begin the game.
After a couple hours of the two demons playing niche horror games, they took a bit of a break.
“I missed days like this... The days where we’d binge anime or play games.... I wish I hadn’t gotten forced into helping the others... Initially, I wasn’t going to since we already have one couple doing gross normie things. We didn’t need another.”
Arella laughs at that. “So, who was it that twisted your arm into helping?”
“Asmo bullied me into it. They were so relentless about it that I just got fed up and caved.”
“You know what, that tracks.”
“I really am sorry... You don’t hate me, do you?”
Her eyes widen at that. “No, Levi. I don’t hate you and I don’t think I can. You know I’ve never been one to hold grudges- especially with the seven of you. I always seem to forgive you guys eventually... And it seems like you all feel remorse for what happened so there’s no need to stay mad at any of you...”
“You know... Lucifer cried for you... when he and Mammon brought your body back to us two days ago... he was crying- they both were... And that’s when we really realized what we had done to you... that you were gone.”
“But I’m back now,” the demon says softly. “And this time, you guys won’t be getting rid of me. I’ll be around for the rest of your lives and I can’t think of a better way to spend it. Now, let’s get back to the game. I don’t know about you but I can’t wait to see what happens next.”
Levi only nods in return as he turns back to the tv.
-------------------------------------------------
“Arella!” Asmo links their arm with hers as they drag Arella off to their room. “How’re you feeling now? Better?”
“Uh... Yeah, thanks for asking. Where are we going?”
“My room, of course! We’re going to have a little bit of a spa day. No offense, but your skin looks absolutely trashed. Plus, now that you have a demon form, I can show you all the best oils and polishes that I use on my horns and I heard from Beel that you have the prettiest black wings that are just like Lucifer’s- okay, the pretty part I added on but still! I know some inexpensive, but quality oils to use when you preen them that’ll keep them looking pristine at all times.”
“Thank you, Asmo, I appreciate it.”
-------------------------------------------------
As the pair sat on the floor in the Avatar of Lust’s room, face masks in place, Asmo pulled out their endless collection of nail polish. They took one of Arella’s hands in theirs as they thought about what colors would work best for her that wasn’t already used for their brothers.
“How would you feel about a magenta? Or maybe- no, Lord Diavolo’s nails are black so it would be a repeat... Oh, oh what about that glittery gold that you like when we pair it with a black base? I bet you’d look good with rose gold nails too.”
“What about black with a gold design? It would be a bit different wouldn’t it plus I can’t remember anyone having designs on their nails. Aside from when you do nail art on yourself.”
“That’s genius! Why didn’t I think of that? Anyway, let’s get started.” The demon sets to work on her nails, letting out a satisfied hum once the first layer is done. While they waited for it to dry, Asmo pulled out some issues of DevilStyle for them to read. Some of their outfits had been featured in the latest issue and since some of them had been ones Arella had helped them refine months ago, they wanted her to see how their hard work paid off.
“They look amazing, Asmo.” She smiles as her eyes shine. “Is that the one we worked on together?”
They nodded. “Mhm. Mammon even modeled one of them. That one specifically, I tailored to him myself so it would look its best.”
“Can I see it? How long ago did he do this shoot?”
“Three months ago.” They turned to the centerfold. “He looked fantastic in it.”
“That he does- but then again when doesn’t he?”
“Oh, you’re just saying that because you’re biased.”
“Mmm, you’re not wrong.” and they both laughed softly at that. “So... I heard you were the mastermind behind trying to get Melissa and Satan together?”
“Yeah... It took forever too. I only thought it would take a few weeks since he’s my brother and I should know his tastes better than anyone but almost eleven months? It feels like a failure to my matchmaking skills.”
“So that’s why you were always busy with Melissa, huh? At least it worked right?”
“Thank the stars it did. But I was starting to think that it would never happen. Sorry we didn’t include you in the planning- we really should have... I really caused you a lot of pain, didn’t I?”
Arella nodded. “It hurt a lot thinking you guys had grown bored of me. Especially with Melissa being so much more than I ever could be.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, look at me...” Arella makes an up and down motion with her hands. “She’s gorgeous. Long legs, blonde hair with pretty brown eyes that bring you in, skinny but not sickly looking. Right off the bat, she looked like she belonged here with you guys. And then you have me who regularly looks like a hot mess. I’m scrawny, far too skinny and I look like a midget standing next to any one of you. I guess for as much as I seem to fit in with you all, there’s always been a part of me that hasn’t. And I guess, once Melissa got here, it felt more prominent. Your little plan which took up everyone’s free time didn’t help.”
“I’m sowwy.... You’ll forgive me, right?” Asmo gave her the puppy dog eyes.
“What do you think, hmm?”
The Avatar of Lust threw their arms around her- careful of their face masks. “I knew you would. C’mon it’s time to get these face masks off.” They offered their hand to Arella as they went to go wash their faces off.
-------------------------------------------------
Arella admired her freshly painted nails as she walked down the hall. Unbeknownst to her, she was being stalked by a certain white-haired demon. He was quiet, sneaking up on her before he grabbed her.
“Gotcha!” He laughed as she let out a small squeak. “You’re mine now. C’mon, we’re goin’ out.”
“Out? Out where?” She wrapped her arms around his neck.
“A date, obviously. Told ya I was gonna make it up to ya for missin’ all them date nights...” he smiled as he set her down and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I’m not takin’ no for an answer.”
“Alright, Alright.” she hummed. “I wouldn’t tell The Great Mammon ‘no’ anyway.” She laced their fingers together. “So, where’re are you taking me, love.”
“It's a surprise, so I can’t tell ya.” And with that the pair made their way out on the first date they’d had in months.
-------------------------------------------------
As the days went on, Arella found herself being tugged in all different directions by the brothers. There were days where as soon as they got out of class, Beel was dragging her off to a new café that had opened up that week or Belphie was taking up the rest of her free time with multi-hour-long naps- something Mammon had some choice words about.
Satan and Arella would exchange books for light reading as they sat in the library together and discussed their favorites. Sometimes Melissa would join them too, just as ecstatic about the books she’d gotten from the both of them. Lucifer would leave her teas order specifically from the human world that she often enjoyed. They had even returned to their occasional late-night chats over the same teas.
At school, Luke would often cling to Arella- not caring that she was now a demon as to him she would always just be Arella, human or otherwise- while Simeon only observed them with slight amusement, only to pull the small angel away once they had to split up for classes. The older angel had taken to calling or texting almost nightly to check on her.
Solomon-bless his heart- had started hanging around more, making various dishes for her to try at lunch and asking for her opinions on them. Having never learned from her prior experiences with the sorcerer's cooking, Arella still ate them out of both curiosity and politeness. Now that she was a demon, for some reason Arella had actually come to appreciate and enjoy the meals Solomon would make for her. The pair even joked about Arella making a pact with him but it was just that: a joke.
Now that it was months later, Arella felt even more ridiculous about ever feeling unloved by the people in her life- something they had proven untrue with their actions. Even with Melissa staying with them for an extended period of time after what should have been the end of her exchange year, Arella never felt cast aside for the blonde again. The pair had even begun hanging out together on their own without the influence of their housemates- something that Arella had wanted since Melissa first gotten there.
“So, what would you like to do today, Melissa?” Arella asked as the two women walked down the street. “I know you’re getting close to your return to the human world... its only a few weeks off.”
“Yeah... I don’t even know where to begin.” The blonde sighed. “What did you do during the last few weeks before you left after the initial year here was up for you?”
“I spent most of my time hanging out with the boys. They were all really upset to see me go... Are you planning to come back at some point? And what about you and Satan? Are you two going to keep in touch? You’re very good for each other- like two peas in a pod.”
“We’re going to, yes.” She confirmed. “I’ll still have my D.D.D. when I go back so we’ll talk and video chat through there. I’m going to miss you all though. I’ve had so much fun over the past year and half and it's all thanks to you guys.”
“I’m happy to hear you say that.” The demon smiles. “No one here is going to forget you. Make sure you try to come back at some point. They guys and I would be very happy to have you back.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” Melissa hums as they enter the arcade.
After that it seemed like life had gone back to a somewhat normal house hold just with one more added on. Everything was at peace now even with some of the days where Arella feels less than good about herself. But she always had one of her seven demons there to remind her just how precious she was to them. During those times, she couldn’t think of a more suiting way to enjoy the rest of her long life.

Wrote an intro for a tf2 au I have, lemme know if you guys wanna see any more of it :) 👍
Death looked at the files in their hands- 9 people who had messed with the cycle of eternal decay and somehow gone unnoticed. The Reaper Imp who had handed them the files stood trembling in front of them, head hiding behind its clipboard as if the thin wood would protect it. Death’s cold eye sockets shifted from the papers to the imp.
“Nine mortal creatures. Nine. And humans, at that. Doesn’t your department focus specifically on humans?”
The imp opened its mouth to speak but its throat dried instantly. It shut its mouth and just nodded.
“Then how. Did. This. Happen?” Death spoke slowly, each word punctuated with a cold wind that pierced the imp’s very core. Once again, it couldn’t find any words.
The perpetual fog at Death’s feet thickened as their anger rose, making the imp start coughing. Their words were steady, but the continued rise of ethereal mist betrayed their emotions.
“Do you realize just how big of a problem this is? I have to take this up to MY boss. Do NOT let this happen again.”
Death pushed the choking imp out of the fog cloud. It fell to the ground gasping for air before scrambling to its feet and running away, whimpering like a hellcat dropped in the River Styx.
Death turned their attention back to the files in their skeletal hands. Nine people, damn it all. Confrontation with higher-ups never went well, especially when humans were involved. Having no other choice, though, Death raised their fog around them and wisped themselves up near the Boss’ office.
Lesser demons stepped out of the way as Death emerged from their smoke cloud, gliding towards the office doors with all the fake confidence they could muster. Before they even raised their hand to knock, the double doors swung open. Satan sat behind his desk, staring at Death expectantly.
“I hear there’s been a… mix-up, shall we say, in your area.”
“Yes, sir. I-I don’t know how it happened.”
It was Death’s turn to be afraid as Satan looked over the files. He skimmed them with mild annoyance, until he reached the seventh one. He read it over twice, and then he slowly looked up to Death. Their fog began to swirl around their feet agitatedly as Satan stared them down, burning anger clear in his eyes. He glanced down to read the last two files, then set them face down on the desk and looked back at his underling, fingers tented. Death swore the fires burning outside the office were crackling louder than usual.
Satan’s voice was quiet and slow, yet it shook the room. “You know this is an issue. You know this is a big issue. As such, I expect you to deal with this personally.” The amount of weight on that last word made Death’s metaphorical heart sink. Satan pushed the papers back towards them. “Take as much time as you need to fix this.”
Death understood perfectly. They were being temporarily fired, to use human terms. The only thing they could do was nod and pick up the files, so that’s what they did.
“Dismissed.”
Death had never wisped away faster.
-
Scout lay stretched out on the common room couch, his head resting on Sniper’s lap. “When d’you think Demo’ll be back?”
Sniper shrugged.
“He said he’d only be gone a few minutes. I’m not crazy, right? He did say that?”
Sniper nodded. “Relax, mate. ‘S not like he ran into the embodiment of death or somethin’.”
Scout did relax, only for Demo to slam his hand against the window and make Scout shriek and fall off the couch. Sniper laughed and walked over to the window, opening it just enough to talk.
“Bloody hell, roo, what was that for?”
“Sorry lad, I just needed to get yer attention. Is Scout alright?”
Scout raised a shaky thumbs up.
“Yeah, he’s fine. Probably just got the wind knocked outta ‘im.”
“Aye, fair enough. Could yae get everybody though? And gather them…well, in there, I guess.”
“Yeah, sure…what’s goin’ on?”
“Well…” Demo glanced behind him. “I may or may not’ve run into Death.”
The color drained from Sniper’s face.
“I don’t know whether ta laugh or cry,” Scout called from the floor.

Where they take you on vacation - 7 Brothers + Diavolo
Found out the edits are made by @devilgram​ who has such a beautiful blog and posts so many Obey Me! things that are so cool! You did a great job with all the edits! <3
Tumblr media
LUCIFER
Lucifer would like to take you to Romania, mostly because of all the stories of the great Wallachian ruler Vlad Tepes/The Impaler and wants to find out more about his ruthless yet effective methods of insuring no crime happens in his country ( and hopes they will work on his brothers too ).
Apart from the gorgeous landscapes from the mountainside, the possibility to go to the seaside, or see the different types of regional architecture ( like the unique Black Church ) from different cities, he’d also like to get a full experience of the language, the music, the traditions ( customs, clothes, foo ) and feel for a day like a native from the old ages. 
Even more, he’d find it very nice if you were to try out one of the traditional outfits, and would take a picture of you at the mountains, on a nice field, and put the developed picture in his coat, looking at it whenever he is working and misses you.
He can get pretty salty about the fact that there are still people who believe the Bran castle is Dracula’s true castle, instead of the Poienari fortress and wouldn’t hesitate to express his displeasure, but would appreciate the castle and everything displayed there nonetheless.
Also, would be the first to go to the Horror house, holding your hand if you get scared, and would feel incredibly proud that you trust him and feel safe around him, but would get such a kick out of using his demon form while at it, to scare the actors there.
His whole aesthetic draws people near as if they would actually approach a vampire royalty, which allows him to puff his chest out in pride, so hey, you’re dating a vampire now!
Would take you out at the fanciest restaurant, just to feel how the life at this place is.
Would love to take long walks on the beach at the sea, your feet in the water, holding hands, and just admiring the moon and stars while waves are your music.
You’d mostly stay silent and enjoy the atmosphere, but sometimes you talk a few words, and that’s when Lucifer is the most relaxed, calm and tender.
He would saying that he loves you with such ease for the first time in so long, and the kiss on your forehead would be so soft that it brings you more butterflies than any kiss ever could.
Lucifer looks so ethereal in the light of the moon, it’s almost like he’s glowing, and when you tell him, he’d actually blush softly, before chuckling and stroking your hair, not denying, nor agreeing with your statement.
---
Tumblr media
Mammon
Mammon loves to spend money and grab it, so what better place than Las Vegas?
He’d love for the two of you to dress super fancy and flashy, in matching colours if possible, go gambling, scam people and experience the luxury night lifestyle, go to clubs, loud music and expensive alcohol and all that.
But Mammon isn’t all about the flashy and exciting night time, instead, he would mostly love to just see the world with you by his side, and his goals is to make you happy, to he does everything he can to go sightseeing with you and reads in advance about whatever places you could visit and tells you some fun trivia about the place, he’s treating you to the fanciest food and drink places, and would spoil you rotten when going shopping, loving to see you do a little catwalk for him every time you get out of the changing booth.
He’d definitely insist on buying super cute animal Pyjamas.
He’s a huuuuuge fan of the “His Queen/Her King” trope and loves showing you off as much as possible, so get matching Tshirts or jackets and he would be SOOO proud and would laugh confidently and proud all the time, his arm around you, saying how cool you two are together and all that.
He wouldn’t admit it out loud, but he honestly doesn’t believe he’s good enough for you, but when he sees how your dazzling smile is always directed to him and you cling on his arm whenever you watch the Lights Show on the big buildings, see the beautiful fireworks or watch the impressive singing fountain...Well, he can’t help but blush and kiss your forehead, feeling butterflies in his stomach.
He’s the kind of guy who would spam his DevilGram with either couple pictures in different places you visit, or just cute pics of you or you two messing around, and his account is actually very popular for the #CoupleGoalz trend.
At night, he would like to either cuddle with you and watch a movie, or go drive through the city at night, watch the night lights, and go on a cliff, stargazing and chatting openly about everything, because honestly, this guy is always dismissed and insulted by his brothers, it’s always a relief and a fresh air when he can be himself and just...Talk with someone.

Tumblr media
Leviathan
Levi is the biggest weeb in the world, so the first place you’d visit together is Japan.
Anime conventions, wearing cute kimonos while going to festivals or roaming the streets of Kyoto or Akihabara, couple cosplay (Henry and the Lord of Shadows), buying merch of your favourite anime/manga/game, going to Vocaloid concerts, buying the newest Ruri-chan figurines, trying out new video games that just came out and so on.
Actually wants to go to a Pokemon cafe and fangirls SO much about all the cute pokemon themes there.
He would get you all the cutest Pokemon plushies, especially if you’re not all that into Pokemon but want to share that interest with him, so expect a Skitty, Vulpix, Shaymin, Eevee and all its Eeveelutions, Milotic plushie, while he would already be collecting plushies for the rarest Pokemons, but he’s incredibly happy that you want to do this with him.
He also gets an Ekans just for the Lolz and let’s out his tail, mostly for troll purposes, but it makes you laugh and he could swear his heart stopped beating and his cheeks were redder than ever.
He secretly got you a maid outfit and would love to see you wearing it, but he’s too embarrassed to actually say.
He would blush SO much seeing you in a kimono with a nice hair pin and a fan, while going to see the Sakura trees blossoming and you look like the Sengoku type of heroines from the dating sims he plays so much (to get experience and not fuck up with you), but somehow, you’re so much beautiful than any CG he’s every seen, no matter how gorgeous the art is.
He would get lots of packs of Pocky and despite not saying it out loud, would put a pocky in his mouth and you’d get the hint and munch on the other end of the pocky, in the end kissing him softly.
Levi.exe stopped working.
He would love taking pics of you alone, because you’re so beautiful, and would edit them to look as ethereal as possible, if you want, to even have fantastic backgrounds, and would take pride in how popular your DevilGram/InstaGram is.
He also changed his Lockscreen to have you with your hand in a half-heart gesture, while yours has him with the other half, so whenever he looks at the clock, or sees a new notif, he sees you smiling, with a cute kitten filter.
His Wallpaper is the two of you kissing, edited with a few hearts, sparkles and a little “I love you” written in cursive in a corner (you edited the pic and suggested you both use it, but he denied, so you changed it yourself for him too, while he was busy gaming, and he liked it so much that he couldn’t change it back to Ruri-chan.)
---
Tumblr media
Satan
Satan would choose England first for so many reasons!
He’s such a perfect gentleman and seeing everyone so polite and chivalrous there makes his heart bloom and would up his gentleman shills even more, wanting to impress you and make your heart skip with everything he does.
Loves to take you to different castles, see in real life everything he read in books and saw in movies or TV series, and he’s so mesmerised by the beauty of everything that he forgets he promised to be your guide, but his bright smile and the way his eyes sparkle in curiosity and glee make up for everything.
Besides, he’d definitely go back to you and explain in very precise detail the reason for his fangirling.
He’s a little nerd so bookstore dates are a huge YES, and more - CAT CAFES where you can read at your heart’s content. HUGE YES.
You’d both get our of there with tons of books that you will read together, cuddled up under the blankets while enjoying an aromatic tea that Satan prepared for you, together with some nice scones.
He’d want to go with you to Shakespeare’s grave, Dicken’s house, would like to see anything involving the Romantics and so on, since he’s in love with British literature.
Satan wants to go see the Harry Potter theme park so much, and would buy tons of merch for the two of you, and wants to go in full Hogwarts robes and wand with you.
Would take a gazillion pics of you together, that only you can see since it may ruin his reputation with his brothers for geeking out, but he’d love it if the universe was actually real.
He’d also take you to King’s Cross to take pic near the wall where you get to the 9 3/4 Platform.
And no trip to England could exist without a visit to Sherlock’s house, pretending to be detectives, and at Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum to admire all the figures and potentially take troll pics with them.
---
Tumblr media
Asmodeus
Asmo wastes no time in taking you to Paris, of course!
And the first thing you do is have a coffee at the restaurant located on top of the Eiffel Tower.
He would, throughout all the trip, take tons of selfies EVERYWHERE, and aeshtetic pics of either you alone, him alone, or together.
He’s a Devilgram and Devilr celebrity, after all!
Loves going to all the little cafes and drink a hot beverage with you while looking and judging all the passer-bys, how they would never compare to how beautiful and fashionable you two are.
He takes you to the Versailles Palace while wearing the most glamorous outfits, and despite all the pics taken, he will tell you stories of when he visited the place long ago, and more, will tell you of the paintings displayed, since he’s rather knowledgeable.
Asmodeus will take you everywhere, but first, the Lafayette Galleries, all while streaming every second there, to shop everyone how amazing the place is.
Would pics the both of you sooo many pretty brand clothes, new skin care routine and make up products, that you almost wonder where he has all the money from, especially to pay someone to carry them back to your place.
Would take you to a lingerie shop where he’d make you try on all the cutest outfits and would buy them all, especially because he thinks they will make you more confident and wants to make sure you never thing bad of yourself, because if you’re dating him, then you’re obviously the most beautiful being he’s ever seen, inside and out. (he doesn’t count here, of course)
His wallpaper is a selfie of you two smiling and making a peace sign, from the top of the Eiffel Tower, seeing all Paris in the background, at evening, with the beautiful sky and the night lights all over.
Would take you on a cruise on Seine, serenading and drinking a glass of bubbly champagne, admiring all the buildings and the happy people sitting on the banks of the River, enjoying the scenery.
And of course, there’s no perfect trip to the City of  Love without some very tender and sensual love-making, with so many compliments, praises, soft touches and gentle kisses from Asmodeus, followed by a relaxing bath with milk, honey and rose petals, scented candles, bubbles and ambiental music, and of course, a lot of cuddling all night long.

Tumblr media
Beelzebub
Beelzebub would want to go to Italy, since it’s the country with the best human food, and what better place to eat it them its home country?
Would actually love to go sightseeing with you and seeing all the pretty stuff there is.
He appreciates the architecture, statues and paintings of every historical place, loves to find out more about the country’s history and traditions and would like to take scenic pictures of all the places you visit...
And make a couple album where he puts pics with either you alone or together.
It’s his most treasured possession and nobody except Belphie knows about it, and while he is happy that his brother is happy, he would say it’s so cheesy.
Would have fun when doing the classic “Pushing the Pisa Tower” picture, would like to sing when you go on a Gondola ride in Venice, and pretend to be a gladiator at the Colosseum, while you’re his Caesar.
If you get him a necklace or a keychain, he’d never take it off and has it as his lucky charm, kissing it whenever he misses you or wants the day to go good.
After he understands how the food is made, he’d want to make it himself, so you cooking together would be so cute and fun, and the way you see the love and tenderness in his eyes as he looks at you laughing, while your face is covered in flour...
He’s such a precious and soft baby, and he loves you so much.
Also, he’d love to carry you around just for fun and because he loves holding you close to him, so either bridal style on on his shoulder, you say it, and he’s gonna do it.
Will also like to take lots of short videos with you two, just fooling around, giggling, laughing, making jokes, kissing, pretending to be kittens, having flour fights and all that, since they’re beautiful memories and whenever he’s sad, he watches them and he forgets the reason he was sad in the first place.
---
Tumblr media
Belphegor
Belphegor would take you to New Zealand, because he saw how beautiful and green the landscape were, thanks to the Lord of the Rings movies, so he wanted to see what would be like stargazing on such a flowery field, or sleeping in a Hobbit hole.
He’s pretty sleepy all the time, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t take you to see the big cities as well, eat out, shop for souvenirs and so on, but his heart is taken by the simplicity and peace the countryside and forests hold.
Belphie would actually like to have his head on your lap as you stay at the bottom of a tree and read, much like Froddo Baggings would, waiting for Gandalf.
It’s a guilty pleasure of his, but he wants to see ‘Gandalf’s’ fireworks, and when a festival like that happens, he’d hold your hand tight, having a soft smile on his face and a tender look in his eyes.
Despite not saying it very often, he will confess his love for you.
It’s barely above a whispers, but it’s genuine.
It’s simple, small, but meaningful and beautiful nonetheless.
As you stargaze on the field, he’d tell you the names of all stars and constellations that you can see, and would tell you some trivia he knows about them.
Would take a few pics here and there, but his favourite one is one where you two are on the ground outside, both your heads on his favourite pillow, while looking at each other, both of you having such genuine and pure love in your expressions.
If he ever wakes up earlier than you, and likes to troll a bit, he’d get his tail out and tickle your noes, smirking at how cute your half-asleep reactions were, but would play innocent when you ask about it, only kissing your nose to make you forget and reassure you that it was only a dream (it wasn’t).
---
Tumblr media
Diavolo
Diavolo is so easily excitable, despite his age and title for the next Devil Lord, but honestly, he wants to take you to Iceland to see the Northern Lights that you spoke so fondly about.
There are so many pretty things to see in the Devildom alright, but none of them quite as fascinating to him as how the sky lights up with so many different and beautiful shades of green, blue and pink, it’s almost unreal!
Who would have thought that the Human world could hold such natural wonders?
He could have sword you were a witch or something, and just wanted to impress him with your magic, as if charming him wasn’t enough, but this beauty makes him behave even more like a child, leaving him speechless and breathless.
Diavolo would kiss and hug you, spinning your around so many times, if you allow him, you forgot to count, which is his way of thanking you for showing him this place and he’s honestly just so happy that he can share this precious moment together with you.
You tell him some old stories about how they say the ancestors’ souls watch over everyone from up there, and that even the animals who died have their souls there, living in peace and quiet.
Despite knowing it’s obviously not true, the tales humans come up with are so creative and make so much sense to their beliefs, he’s genuinely fascinated by all these old stories and would like for you to tell him more.
Iceland’s landscapes are also to be taken into account, and Diavolo will take thousands of pics of you literally everywhere, just because you’re so cute and he’s so damn happy and wants many memories together.
Would like for you to take a selfie with his phone, while at the Northern Lights, and would make Lucifer frame it so he can have it on his desk whenever he’s working, and whenever he gets bored, tired, or just misses you, he’d gaze fondly at the picture and would occasionally kiss it.

Take Care of Them
Warning: Hmm..? If you’re touchy on religion, I’d advise you to not continue reading. (I wrote this for fun)
If any of the characters are OC, tell me so I can try and adjust it.
Takes place after Lesson 18 but before Lesson 19
Pairings: Obey me boys x MC/Reader
Summary: God talking to MC in a dream or such about the brothers
Part 1-7
Chapter 8
The human jerked awake and looked around their room, their eyes landing on the envelope on their bedside table. Oddly enough, there seemed to be something else peeking out from underneath the envelope. They reached for whatever was hiding underneath the envelope and took notice that it was some kind of portrait.
Tears prickled at the corner of their eyes as they stared at the portrait. It was a picture of the six brothers when they were angels. The human let out a wet sob, their vision blurring as they stared at Mammon tackling someone that looked vaguely like Lucifer. Lucifer looked annoyed but they could see the tenderness in his green eyes as he stared at his younger brother. Asmo and Levi were sitting back to back. Levi had his eyes closed and his head was tilted back against Asmo’s shoulder, his purple hair was slicked back with a couple strands falling against his forehead. Asmo was staring off at Beel and Belphie with a large grin on his ethereal face. Beel was sitting on the ground while his younger twin brother was laying on his side beside him, one of his eyes open as he stared fondly at a woman MC did not recognize.
The woman had golden-brown skin and seemed to radiate happiness. She had long wavy white hair similar to Mammon’s that had hints of orange hiding in the white. Her hair framed her head like a halo and her purple eyes were glinting with delight. She wore a beautiful long tunic with no sleeves and a pair of leggings, as well as a pair of light brown lace-up shoes. Her medium sized dove-like slim white wings hung low on her back. The woman was turned towards Lucifer and Mammon, laughing heartily at the two.
This must be the eighth sibling, my ancestor, Lilith. MC mused as they went back to observing the brothers.
Out of the seven brothers, Lucifer looked the most different. Instead of having his black hair which faded into grey, his hair was platinum blond which was lighter than Satan’s yellow hair and his eyes were green instead of its now red color. Belphie’s hair also was different having interchanged while he was still an angel, the roots were white which bled into black.
The human turned the picture over and saw purple script write itself on the back of the portrait.
Pure soul,
I hope you enjoy this picture. It was one of my precious possessions but I wish to give it to you. I have a feeling that you might appreciate it more than I ever could. Cherish and keep it safe.
Camael, Symbol of Charity
MC hugged the picture to their chest, tears pouring out their eyes and down their cheeks as they choked on their sobs. They lifted the picture to their lips and pressed a light kiss against the image. They hid the picture in their drawer and took the envelope in their hands. They wiped their tears away with the back of their hand as they broke the seal of the envelope.
A smile replaced the frown on their lips as they read stories about Mammon, all about his mischievous ways and his interactions with his siblings especially Lucifer. They were surprised to read that Mammon was respected and loved by his siblings when he was still in the Celestial Realm and he seemed to be so generous towards everyone, almost always putting others before himself. They noticed that Mammon and Lucifer seemed to get along despite Lucifer acting like he didn’t like Mammon. Their smile slowly disappeared as the stories took a turn for the worst the closer it got to the Celestial War. Tears built up in the corner of their eyes when they read Mammon’s determination and contentment to stay by his older brother’s side despite not knowing what would happen to them after the war.
They watched as He wrote a small message for them once again at the end of the letter.
My child,
Stay on guard. Again, continue finding ways to unlock your angelic heritage and practice using my virtue’s powers. I see that Camael gave you a gift. If you wish, I can tell you about Lilith as well so you know more about your ancestor. I can tell you’re hurting for my fallen sons and while I cannot do anything anymore for them, I hope that I can provide you some comfort by telling you about them an in extension, Lilith.
God
Tears escaped once again before they put the envelope away with the rest of the other letters. They got ready, trying their best to hide the evidence of their breakdown before they left their room. They headed in the direction of the dining room, their head hung low as they entered the room. The chatter amongst the brothers seemed to die down, almost like they knew in an instant that something was wrong with their human, as MC sat down in their seat, slowly piling whatever food was leftover that Beel didn’t manage to get onto their own plate.
“Normie?” Levi called out but it seemed that the human didn’t hear him. The brothers shared worried glances with each other before Belphie leaned over and nudged them. “Oh, sorry. Were you guys talking to me?” They were startled, looking up from their food to see the demons staring at them with concern.
“You okay?” They turned to look at Beel who had his mouth stuffed full. “You…You seem down.” He swallowed before he spoke.
“Darling, have you been crying? Your eyes are swollen.” Asmo questioned, grabbing hold of their chin to turn their head to look at them. MC stared into the fifth brother's alluring peach eyes, tears swimming in the corner of their eyes.
They burst into tears which caused the brothers to panic. Just seeing the brothers worrying over them made them think about how unfair everything was. They didn’t deserve to be exiled from the Celestial Realm especially since it was all for their younger sister, a sister that they couldn’t save and lost because of the war. Just thinking about it made them angry.
They were pulled away from their angry thoughts when they felt a thumb brushing away their tears. They looked up to see a blurry vision of yellow in front of them before Satan’s calming voice cut through their daze, “Why are you angry? I can feel the rage building up in you.”
“I…I…” MC hiccupped, their voice getting stuck in their throat before they threw their arms over Satan’s shoulders. They buried their face into his chest as they screamed their anger and sadness away, their screams muffled by the blond’s uniformed chest but it didn’t stop the brothers’ heart from breaking when they heard the pain in the human’s cries. Satan ran his fingers through their hair, rubbing their head slightly and whispered, “Draw in that anger. Don’t let it control you.”
“I-I’m so s-sorry.” The human sobbed, shaking their head when the brothers tried to get them to explain the reason for their sudden outburst.
They felt a calming pulse coming from their hand and they shifted their blurry gaze to their hand. They saw the two rings on their left hand beating, sending comforting waves towards them. It was like Uriel and Raphael knew they were distressed and was trying their best to comfort them since they couldn’t be there with them. They slowly started to calm down, their anger and sadness dissipating as they shakily took a deep breath in.
They backed away from Satan, their eyes lowered as they whispered with a crackily tone, “I’m sorry guys.”
“What happened darling?” Asmo cooed, standing in front of them as he held their hand. They shook their head, removing their hand from the demon's grip and whispered, “It’s nothing. Just a bad dream.”
They stayed silent for most of the day, not acknowledging the concerned looks that the brothers were shooting them. At the end of the school day, they caught up to Lucifer who was, surprisingly, by himself and asked softly, almost nervously, “Lucifer, is it okay if I go visit Simeon at Purgatory Hall? There’s something that has been bothering me and I wish to talk to him about it.”
Lucifer looked like he didn’t want to allow it but took notice of the pleading look in his human’s eyes. He sighed before nodding, “Okay. Make sure you’re back at the house before curfew.”
“Thank you Lucifer.” MC looked around to see if there were any students loitering around, seeing that they were none around. They threw their arms around Lucifer’s waist, their head resting against his chest. “I’ll be back soon. Thank you so much. Tell the others where I am and don’t let Mammon come get me unless it’s past curfew.”
The human detached themself from the eldest brother before Lucifer could process the sudden hug and ran off, waving at the second strongest demon in the Devildom.
Lucifer shook his head staring after MC with enamor in his gaze before they turned the corner, disappearing from his sight.

How do you think the brothers + the undateables would interact with an MC who has long hair?
Hey, thanks for the request! Hope you like how this turned out! :)
The brothers and the undatables + MC with long hair
Lucifer
He thinks it makes you look ethereal and sexy hot beautiful
Low key likes running his hands through your hair when he's stressed or bored. He says it's out of habit of doing it to his own hair, but just enjoys how soft your hair is
He always makes you tie up your hair when you two go to bed together.
If you ask him to braid your hair he would probably do it but "Only because you asked me really nicely." (liar, he loves braiding your hair)
Mammon
Always plays with your hair as payback when you ruffle his
When you sleep together it always gets in his mouth or on his face. (who are you to complain mister??? just like Asmo you sleep in the fucking nude smh)
Jokes about you cutting your hair but if you actually take that into consideration he starts pouting, he just really likes it
He has no clue how to braid your hair but learns all for that cute face you do when he's done braiding it w-what are you talking about?!?! He clearly doesn't have a crush on MC!!!
Leviathan
"You look just like *insert character with long hair*!!!"
He makes you cosplay some of his favourite anime protagonists and almost dies of cuteness when he sees you
levi.exe has encountered an error. Would you like to restart the program?
Somehow, every time you two sleep together your hair ends up below his head so good luck trying to get up
After years of professional cosplaying he can do braids even better than Asmodeus, we talking about some crazy level braiding. You don't even have to ask him to braid your hair
"lololol MC the hairstyle *insert protagonist* has would look way better on you lmao! Let me try it!"
Satan
You leave hair everywhere just like...a cat
Thinks it's cute when your hair falls in your face when you want to read and like the gentleman he is, he always tucks it behind your ear.
Just imagine what I just wrote above and let it sink in....yes I adore him
Likes it when you let your hair down but if you do a cat ears hairstyle he might short circuit
If you go to sleep with your hair down he will tie it up or braid it for you while you are asleep. Not the best at braiding but he really tries and he always gets a kiss from you afterwards.
Asmodeus
Hair care dates are a NECESSITY. You won't even get to touch your own hair, he insists to wash it himself
Sometimes your hair gets on his face when he sleeps with you and always complains about that (Asmo you sleep in the fucking nude, you're not one to talk).
Your hair may find it's way into Asmo's mouth when you two kiss or it keeps appearing on his clothes and so he always has a hair tie or two with him, just in case.
He is really good at braiding and doing hairstyles, he will insist on doing your hair every morning before school (but he always demands a reward ;) )
Beelzebub
He always plays with your hair and loves brushing it before bed
After one night in which your hair got into Beel's mouth and he began chewing on it, you make sure to always braid it
Just like Asmo, he is always prepared with a hair tie for when you two eat together so it won't get in your food (or his)
He will be delighted if you ask him to do your hair. He has experience back in the celestial realm where he would braid Lilith's hair all the time (ouch my heart-)
Belphegor
Your hair is so soft that he falls asleep petting it/playing with it at least once
He thinks your hair is perfect to lay his head on while he takes a nap, Diavolo have mercy because just like with Levi you're in for a loooooong night
Just like Beel, he used to braid Lilith's hair back in the celestial realm so he has some experience, but might fall asleep while braiding because of how relaxing it is
When you two take a nap together and your hair falls in your face, he moves it away and gives you a kiss on the cheek, but would never admit that he did that (tsundere)
Simeon
He sees your hair and immediately makes some sweet nicknames for you like rapunzel, princess, dandelion (if you have curly hair)
When he asks you to braid your hair and when you say "yes" he's all OwO. Has a little experience and it turns out really good, he may even put some flowers in your hair (I love him so much ahhh)
If your hair finds it's way on his face while you two sleep, he just brushes it away. Really doesn't mind your hair at night that much.
His hair puts shampoo commercials to shame and offers to help with your hair care routine even when especially when you ask him to wash your hair for you
Solomon
"Hey, MC! Look at this!" *uses your hair as a moustache*. Always jokes about how long your hair is but actually really loves it (you can take the headcanon that Solomon is a softie around MC out of my cold dead hands)
When your hair ends up on his face while you two sleep he uses magic to make it stay into place and then kisses your forehead
Ask him to braid your hair and you might regret it. He doesn't know how to braid hair, but is willing to learn all for you
"MC, look at me!" *uses magic to make his hair longer*
Yeah, he has a lot of fun
Diavolo
"Is long hair part of your human culture? Did you ever cut your hair short? CAN I BRAID IT?!?!?"
Makes sure to pamper you with hair care products all the time and brush your hair for you "Anything for you Beyonce MC~"
You two usually sleep in a mess of tangled limbs, so your hair may end up on his face 9 out of 10 times
He has no idea how to braid hair but you two are having fun trying to teach him
Don't ever cut your hair. Don't do this to him ;_;
Barbatos
Lots of compliments ♡♡♡ he loves it
Well, exept for when he starts finding your hair everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE
On the floor, on the couch. How did your hair got on the ceiling? He won't question it but please, tie your hair
When you two sleep (does this man even sleep?? let's pretend he does-) it will get in his face wherever he likes it or not. Nightmare time~
Bonus: Luke
He thinks your hair is pretty and always compliments you.
He likes braiding your hair and you give him a flower crown to show your gratitude and he lowkey starts crying
Makes you tie it up when you want to help him in the kitchen tho
Hes a supportive little brother~

THE 20 GREATEST GHOST SONGS – RANKED - KERRANG!
Tumblr media
From Opus Eponymous to Prequelle, we rank the greatest compositions from Ghost
Words: Sam Law
Photo: Tom Barnes 
Undoubtedly the breakout band in heavy music over the past decade, it’s been a wild ride for Swedish creeps Ghost. Melding elements of hard rock, doom, classic metal, psychedelia and outright guitar-pop – then daubing on the corpsepaint – their combination of deceptively digestible sound, occultist ethos and anti-ecumenical aesthetic has captured the imagination of music fans and sling-shotted their live ‘rituals’ into arenas on both sides of the Atlantic.
Of course, mysterious mainman Tobias Forge (aka Papa Emeritus I-IV, aka Cardinal Copia) has had his struggles. In 2013, the band was forced to temporarily rebrand as Ghost B.C. for legal reasons in the U.S. The initially intriguing, fluid anonymity of his bandmates’ Nameless Ghoul personas (even Dave Grohl apparently once donned the cowl) became a sticking point, too, as the collective sued Tobias in 2017, failing in their suit but also dispelling some of the precious mystique.
That Tobias has endured – not just surviving, but flamboyantly thriving in the heightened spotlight – feels like proof his band are here to stay. New music is eagerly anticipated in the not-so-distant future but, for now, we rank the 20 tracks on which Ghost have built their unholy empire thus far…
20. MUMMY DUST (MELIORA, 2015)
‘I was carried on a wolf’s back, to corrupt humanity / I will pummel it with opulence, with corpulence and greed!’ Arriving on a wave of staccato percussion, spiked with gnarls of riffage and flashes of synth, this pounding cut from 2015’s Meliora – named after the insubstantial detritus of years past – plays out as one of Ghost’s most compelling indictments of the avarice of mankind. Although its creeping instrumentation, growled baritone and choral climax don’t exactly show the Swedes at their most inventive, Mummy Dust has been elevated massively in the live arena, with Papa leaning into the lurching malevolence before showering the audience with ‘money’. In Ghost we trust.
19. WITCH IMAGE (PREQUELLE, 2018)
Ghost might have traversed a full spectrum from gouging metal via classic rock to shimmering guitar-pop thus far, but the further their sound has strayed into the light, the harder the lyrics have drilled down into darkness. It’s never been truer than on this underrated ditty from Prequelle. A textbook three-and-a-half-minutes built of sweet acoustic and rich electric guitars surging towards its massive chorus, you can practically taste the relish as Tobias ladles the syrup onto some of his darkest words. ‘While you sleep in earthly delight, someone’s flesh is rotting tonight / Like no other to you, what you’ve done you can not undo…’
18. CON CLAVI CON DIO (OPUS EPONYMOUS, 2010)
After the baroque organ intro of Deus Culpa, it’s the throbbing bassline of Con Clavi Con Dio that truly pulls back the sacristy drapes on Ghost’s compelling debut. Translating crudely as ‘With Nails, With God’, the title Con Clavi Con Dio is actually an attempt at clever wordplay, drawing comparisons with the nails of crucifixion and the conclave of bishops at the head of the church as Tobias sings, ‘Our conjuration sings infernal psalms and smear the smudge in bleeding palms.’ Theological musing aside, it’s the dark swirl of sound here that truly draws the listener in, with gauzy layers of guitar, synth and vocals – not to mention the devilish tritone interval – building into a towering cathedral of subversion.
17. FAITH (PREQUELLE, 2018)
No relation to the oft-covered George Michael classic, the fourth single from 2018’s Prequelle feels like a defiant statement of the band’s arena-straddling prowess twelve years in. Powered by snarling six-strings and pounding drums – custom engineered to get tens of thousands of fists pumping – it’s seething proof that this band’s heaviest sounds are still among their best. At the same time, we get a furious flash of the man behind the mask as Tobias takes aim at his ex-Nameless Ghouls with some serious lyrical barbs: ‘The Luddites shun the diabolical, a fecal trail across the land / Although it stinks, feels and looks identical / And a pack of fools can take the stand.’ Oooft.
16. PER ASPERA AD INFERNI (INFESTISSUMAM, 2013)
Riffing on the popular Latin phrase ‘Per aspera ad astra’ (‘Through hardship to the stars’), Per Aspera Ad Infini literally translates as ‘Through Hardships To Hell.’ Its churning sound diabolically matches up. Layering on riffage that calls to mind the epic doom of heroes like Candlemass, marching-beat percussion and a lyrical treatment revolving around that title chanted as a mantra, there is sinisterness throughout. Its defining quality, however, is the fragility and despair Tobias manages to summon as he begs with ecstatic fervour, ‘Oh Satan, devour us all / Hear our desperate call.’
15. SECULAR HAZE (INFESTISSUMAM, 2013)
The lead single from 2013’s sophomore LP Infestissumam immediately built on the spooky foundations laid by Opus Eponymous with broader pantomime atmospherics and – on its live premiere in Linköping, Sweden, where Papa Emeritus II was unveiled – the first branches of their expanded mythos. A carnivalesque organ sets the tone of mischievous eeriness before the pendulous musicality hits full swing with Papa inviting us in: ‘You know that the fog is here omnipresent when the disease sees no cure / You know that the fog is here omnipresent when the intents remain obscure – forevermore!’ As if their mainstream-invading intent wasn’t clear enough, its single release even came with a B-side cover of ABBA’s I’m A Marionette featuring Dave Grohl on drums!
14. SEE THE LIGHT (PREQUELLE, 2018)
Another barely-veiled reference to Tobias’ struggles with ex-bandmates, See The Light is also one of his band’s most shamelessly uplifting compositions. Feeling like a positivist ’80s anthem – shot through with a little venom – its tinkling keys, soaring synths and understated, rumbling riffage propel an effortlessly memorable message about transcending the ill-will of one’s antagonists. Sing it together: ‘Every day that you feed me with hate, I grow stronger!’
13. DEUS IN ABSENTIA (MELIORA, 2015)
Riding on the metronomic beat of their Monstrance Clock, the closer on Ghost’s third album (translated from Latin as ‘In The Absence Of God’) is an extravagant exercise in arch theatrics. Benefiting from Klas Åhlund’s grandiose production, Tobias comes across as both demon and angel, extending his dark invitation: ‘The world is on fire, and you are here to stay and burn with me / A funeral pyre, and we are here to revel forever.’ Concluding with a hymn-like Latin chorus, it feels like the ultimate corruptive culmination: a musical sacrament truly touching only to those in the know.
12. STAND BY HIM (OPUS EPONYMOUS, 2010)
The track that started it all. Inspired by that irresistible lead riff – stumbled upon while practising for another band – Tobias foresaw a deep, dark well of potential waiting to be tapped and threw himself in headlong. Although Stand By Him’s schlocky lyrics feel gleefully on-the-chin nowadays (‘The Devil’s power is the greatest one / When His’ and Hers’ holiest shuns the sun / A temptress smitten by the blackest force / A vicar bitten blind in intercourse’), they paved the way for everything that followed. On top of that, its soaring ‘It is the night of the witch…’ chorus line even rivals that of Donovan’s Season Of The Witch (an obvious influence) for sheer spellbinding catchiness.
11. GHULEH/ZOMBIE QUEEN (INFESTISSUMAM, 2013)
One of the less immediate tracks on Ghost’s second album was also its most important. A staggering, seven-and-a-half minute opus that unfolds from its sorrowing piano line and Papa’s desiccated hiss through a swaggering midsection to a conclusion full of proggy bombast; this was proof of the untold breadth and depth of their vision and sound. Pushing from their basis in ’80s classic rock through the looser sounds of the ’70s and right into ’60s psychedelia, this ode to the titular zombie queen (‘Up from the stinking dirt she rises, ghastly pale / Shape-shifting soon but now she’s rigid, stiff and stale’) feels like Tobias’ first real attempt to stretch his (cursed black) wings and remains amongst their most rewarding compositions.
10. RITUAL (OPUS EPONYMOUS, 2010)
Anyone who remembers Ghost’s ethereal emergence from the shadows likely does so with this earworm writhing in the back of their mind. Combining the slick melodies and wry fatalism of prime Blue Öyster Cult with the crunchiness of Pentagram and Saint Vitus – soothing organs and a driving bassline pulling away – they had the musical formula nailed. It was the imagery contained therein, however (all ‘bedouins and nomads’, fallen angels and ‘smells of dead human sacrifices from the altar bed’) that captured the imaginations of a congregation ravenous for a fresh take on ancient evil. Here, the doors to the sanctum were truly open.
9. YEAR ZERO (INFESTISSUMAM, 2013)
Tying into the Ghost B.C. renaming necessitated by their Stateside legal wranglings (the year zero being the pivotal point between the B.C. and A.D. timelines), Infestissumam’s sixth track developed into one of the greatest showcases of their dark majesty. Opening with a powerful Gregorian chant (‘Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer’) calling to mind Jerry Goldsmith’s legendary soundtrack to The Omen, Ave Satana, the direct riffage and bludgeoning choruses that follow hammer home a sense of sheer monstrosity. Typically, the Year Zero concept is subverted, with Forge (and, reportedly, guitarist Martin Persner) picturing an ancient antagonist far predating biblical times: ‘Since dawn of time the fate of man is that of lice, equal as parasites and moving without eyes / A day of reckoning when penance is to burn, count down together now and say the words that you will learn.’
8. MIASMA (PREQUELLE, 2018)
Just when you think you’ve got Ghost figured out, they pull something like this. The first of Prequelle’s two extended instrumentals feels like showboating from an outfit whose legitimacy some fans had dared question following the acrimonious departure of so many players. Rearing into view as an expansively primitive space-rock soundscape, layering up into an ’80s prog epic, then exploding in a kaleidoscopic whirlwind of synths, Michael Jackson riffs and the best metal saxophone this side of Norway’s Shining, it was proof that Tobias’ vision would not be dictated solely by his own crooning King Diamond fixation and that it, frankly, knew no bounds.
7. ELIZABETH (OPUS EPONYMOUS, 2010)
Four years since their formation, Elizabeth felt like the break Ghost had been waiting for. Released on 7” vinyl (with the less-ear-catching Death Knell on B-side), the Mercyful Fate comparisons were immediate, with many seeing the sense of eerie grandeur and kitsch luridity at play as directly descended from the great Danes’ 1987 classic Devil Eyes. An ode to infamous Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory – alleged serial killer and bloodbather – sees Papa getting his teeth sunk in lyrically: ‘Her pact with Satan, her disposal of mankind / Her acts of cruelty and her lust for blood makes her one of us!’ The fine balance between sensuality and sin has yet to be bettered.
6. RATS (PREQUELLE, 2018)
The lead single from 2018’s Prequelle feels like a bridge between the (relative) heaviness of the band’s past and the unfettered theatricality of the album that was about to follow. Powered by a straightforward riff and piercing organs, dazzling solos and a rogue harpsichord, its introduction of the Black Death concept in which the album would wallow (refracting contemporary grievances through the filthy lens of the 14th century bubonic plague) felt both atmospherically appropriate and deliciously alive. The Scandi-pop ‘oooh-aahs’ in the chorus remain one of the band’s most gleefully irreverent touches, too. And the question of whether ‘them filthy rodents still coming for your souls’ is reference to Tobias’ old bandmates has provided rich fuel to keep the metal gossip mill turning.
5. MONSTRANCE CLOCK (INFESTISSUMAM, 2013)
In the Roman Catholic church, the monstrance is an (often ornate) receptacle in which the consecrated communion host is displayed for veneration. A monstrance clock was an aesthetically-similar Renaissance-era timekeeping device capable of displaying date, time and a wealth of other celestial information, often used in church rituals. We suspect that Ghost just liked the faintly cheeky sound of the phrase when quickly spoken. Still, the song they wrought from that initial giggle is utterly unforgettable. Deliberately paced and overflowing with evangelical zeal, a slow build flourishes into a splendiferous closing chorus that’s turned many an arena into a church of the Dark Lord: ‘Come together, together as one / Come together for Lucifer’s son!’
4. DANCE MACABRE (PREQUELLE, 2018)
If Rats was pandering somewhat to the existing fanbase, Dance Macabre was the other side of the coin. A shamelessly retro ’80s-style power ballad that’s as light on overt Satanic references as it is heavy on the cheese, some fans saw it as a form of selling-out: a dilution of devilish imagery in service of greater American radio-rock appeal. Perhaps they had a point. From its fist-pumping percussion and effervescent guitar solo to that ‘wanna, be wit chu’ chorus hook, however, it’s executed with enough committed precision and knowing panache to stand on its own terms, and a whole legion of new fans couldn’t help be swept along through the gateway and on to far darker delights. Tobias’ explanation that this is a soundtrack for people living like there’s no tomorrow – as many literally did during the plague – adds an extra dimension. Best experienced with the gleefuly vampiric music video.
3. CIRICE (MELIORA, 2015)
It’s strange how things work out sometimes. Originally conceived with producer Klas Åhlund as a nine-minute instrumental deep cut, Cirice was chopped down and reworked into Meliora’s irresistible lead single – becoming the song that really kickstarted Ghost’s stratospheric ascent. An insidious opening combusts into an infernal crescendo before lurching into the band’s most bludgeoning riff to date. All the while, Papa’s beguiling vocals reach out, full of dark romance, for new converts to their corrupted congregation. 2016’s GRAMMY for Best Metal Performance felt like just reward for such inspired work. The Roboshobo-directed music video – featuring a school talent show that’s almost as horrific as the ones we remember – is another stone cold standout.
2. SQUARE HAMMER (POPESTAR, 2016)
Following the unprecedented success of Meliora, Ghost found themselves suddenly commanding crowds far larger – and more diverse – than they’d seen before. Most of the ingredients for these grander live rituals were already in place, but they lacked the barn-burner early in their set to get these massive rooms onside. Dropped as the standalone original track on the Popestar covers EP, Square Hammer gave them just that. Abstractly melding the cultist themes of Satanism and Freemasonry, the concept of selling one’s soul – ‘ready to swear right here, right now, before the devil’ – was hardly new, but the outright pop energy of those surging synths and that exuberant chorus clearly signalled that the game had changed.
1. HE IS (MELIORA, 2015)
If Ghost’s diabolical mission statement is to make the Luciferian ideals more palatable to the masses, then He Is must be their masterpiece. So perfectly camouflaged – with twanging acoustic guitars and reverberating vocals that could’ve been nicked from the golden age of AOR – is their message, that they could drop this at any Christian rock festival and only the most switched-on devotees would know the difference. Openly indebted to giants like Kansas and Journey (and less openly to more recent occult acoustic acts like Ancient VVisdom), there’s a burning light to the sound. The use of divine-sounding Latin (‘Nostro Dispater, nostr’alma mater’) to identify the titular ‘He’ as the dark lord of the underworld is just another characteristically twisted masterstroke. Kneel at their altar.

What do you guys think? 
Personally there’s a few I’d replace and Ritual is always my NO.1.

TAFAKKUR: Part 338
INTERPRETING DREAMS: Part 2
DREAMS: A SPIRITUAL APPROACH
Ahl Allah (people who have proximity to God) said that: "The spirit has two windows for the world of Barzah: sleep and inspiration. In dreams, sometimes a person sees future happenings directly and sometimes in symbols. The latter should be decoded. If the sensory organs are closed to the physical world, and the internal mirror (the heart) is clean of all evil and polished, spiritual beings and unknown writings in theLawh-i Mahfooz can be reflected and seen in this mirror. But if the senses are occupied with the material world and the internal mirror is rusty, the spirit cannot view the world of Barzah. Rather, it becomes busy with images left in the memory from the five senses. When a person dies, however, the spirit can view the metaphysical world and learn about the world of the Unseen (ghayb), for the senses and the body can no longer serve as obstacles. By inspiration, people can learn many previously unknown things. But if their hearts are not clean, they will not recognize and understand the actual source of these inspirations".
Ibn Khaldun devotes a portion of his book al-Muqaddimah (Prolegomena) to dreams:
"A dream is a spiritual activity that consists of seeing and observing the forms and shapes of entities reflected to the spirit from the Unseen (ghayb) after the spirit enters into the metaphysical world during sleep. When people are awake, they do not contemplate their spirituality, for they are occupied with their carnal and physical functions. Thus they forget the information reflected from the Unseen. Since people reduce their connection with the flesh and physical existence while asleep, they become spiritual entities somewhat like other spiritual beings and, when they turn toward the world of the Unseen, can observe angels and other ethereal beings [lateef entities(6)]"
The bond between body and spirit, merely a connection, becomes ideal during dreams. With this development, the human spirit becomes an incorporeal being and can perceive without the help of the body and the sense organs. In this state, the human spirit is lower than an angel, because an angel's perfection comes from its nature and creation. As an angel's intuition or cognition never develops, it cannot improve itself. However, as long as the spirit inhabits a physical body, it can develop and grow in metaphysical understanding. This ability can be classified into two groups: special (belonging to the saints in the form of gifts) and general (found in everybody in the form of contacting the Unseen).
The spirits of Prophets are purely spiritual, for they transcend the body. This state is the highest rank of spirituality. Its onset could be observed whenever a Prophet received Revelation, for his
body's perceptive faculties would enter a dozing-like period different from regular sleep. In reality, sleeping is greatly inferior to such a state. Concerning this state, the Prophet said: "The (good) dreams of a believer are one part of the forty-six parts of Prophethood (Al-Bukhari, vol. 9: no. 116). Some Muslim scholars interpret this hadith as meaning that when the Revelation began, it was in the form of dreams for the first 6 months. (His Prophethood lasted for 23 years in total, and so the first 6 months would constitute l/46th of this period.)
A Prophet's dreams are not ordinary, for they come true exactly as they are seen. All Prophets had dreams in the first stage of their Prophethood. This only indicates the association of dreams to Prophethood, not the reality of dreaming to the essence of Prophethood, of which dreaming constitutes only a small part. In addition, it is an innate human ability that allows us to reach spiritual and unseen worlds. The smallness of this fraction (l/46th) contrasts the relationship of this common ability to dream with a Prophet's ability to contact spiritual and unseen worlds.
Contacting these nonmaterial worlds is very difficult, although it is a general potential for human beings. Many obstacles prevent us from making the best use of this ability. The first one is the external senses. God made sleeping an innate and natural characteristic and state of mind so that we could bypass, temporarily, these external obstacles. During sleep, one can try to understand the reality behind events and also have some of his or her concerns addressed in dreams. For this reason, Prophet Muhammad regarded dreaming as a harbinger. He said: "Nothing is left of Prophethood except al-mubashshirat (harbingers, glad tidings)." His Companions asked: "What are al-mubashshirat?" He replied: "The true, good dreams (that convey glad tidings). Only pious people and you have such dreams" (Al-Bukhari, vol. 9: no. 119).
The nafs-i natika can perceive and think only via the human spirit, for they are tied to each other. Creation, through combining and synthesizing physical elements, prevents ethereal entities from influencing material objects. Since the human spirit is both ethereal (lateef) and located within material entities, it needs a means (the nafs-i natika) through which it can receive the stimuli of material things. The nafs-i natika, which fulfills this function, acts within the human spirit and has both internal and external perceptive abilities. Internal perceptions come through the brain's faculties, while external perceptions come through the five senses.
These means of perception, despite their innate abilities, inhibit the perception of metaphysical realities. The external senses, which are all corporeal, are used by the nafs-i natika so often that they become exhausted and require sleep to rest.
Even though the spirit can leave the body, tired senses inhibit the nafs-i natika from perceiving metaphysical realities. God implanted within the spirit a desire to depart from the material realm, as shown by its turning from the external senses toward the internal senses. As the night's coolness helps this departure, the body's natural heat withdraws deep inside the body and the spirit, which causes the nafs-i natika to ascend to the spiritual realm. The human spirit remains inside the body. This is why people fall asleep.
When the human spirit leaves the external senses and supervises the internal faculties, the nafs-i natika's tasks are alleviated. This reduces the obstacles to its ascent, which allows it to deal with sensory images. Imagination engenders virtual figures by synthesizing and analyzing sensory images, because the carnal soul perceives, observes, and becomes mostly accustomed and familiar with these figures. This is the basic habit of the nafs-i natika. After this, the collective sensory powers, which gather all external sensory perceptions in the brain, observe those images as if they were actually perceived with external senses.
During sleep, the spirit does not deal with internal or external powers. Rather, it grasps its spirituality as if it were a physical perception, and acquires information about the Unseen. The human spirit then submits these images directly to the imagination, which either accepts them totally or puts them into resembling shapes (symbols). Dreams that result from the latter process require interpretation, for the meaning is not immediately clear. If the nafs-i natika analyzes and synthesizes the images acquired through external senses and hidden in its memory with what it perceived from the Unseen during sleep, the dream is confusing and mixed up.
In an authentic hadith, the Prophet says: "There are three kinds of dreams: those inspired by God during sleep, those from angels, and those inspired by Satan" (Al-Bukhari, vol. 9: no. 144). This does not invalidate the above argument. Dreams that need to be interpreted are from angels, while confusing and mixed dreams come from Satan. The latter are beguiling and erroneous.
Most of our dreams are neither deliberate nor intentional. When one's spirit focuses on the Unseen world to learn the hidden reality about itself or something else, the reality of these things may reflect on it instantly, and the subjects of concern may become clear. If this is not the case, the spirit cannot see and observe whatever and whenever it wants to during sleep.
Medieval Islamic literature records many instances of pre-Islamic Arabs relying on soothsayers who also dealt with dream interpretation. For example, Shiqq (from the family of Enmer bin Nizar) and Sutayuh (a descendent of Mazun bin Garsan) were well-known soothsayers. Sutayuh had no bones in his body, except for his skull, and so could be folded like cloth.
The most well-known stories about these soothsayers are Shiqq's interpretation of Rebia bin Muzar's dream heralding the Abyssinian invasion of Yemen, and Sutayuh's interpretation of the famous Persian scholar Mubezan's dream. Chosroes of Persia sent 'Abdulmesih to ask Sutayuh to interpret Mubezan's dream. Sutayuh said that it foretold the coming of a new Prophet and the destruction of Chosreos' kingdom.
'Abdulgani an-Nablusi states, in light of Qur'anic verses and the Prophet's hadiths: They shall have glad tidings in this world and in the Hereafter (10:64). According to some Qur'an interpreters, glad tidings in the earthly life means dreams about a person regardless of who dreams; glad tidings in the Hereafter means seeing God.
The Prophet said: "One who does not believe in true dreams does not have a sound belief in God and the Resurrection." 'A'isha, the Prophet's wife, stated that: "The commencement (of the Divine Inspiration) to God's Apostle was in the form of true dreams in his sleep, for all of his dreams turned out to be true and clear as bright daylight" (Al-Bukhari, vol. 6: no. 478)
The Prophet once told Abu Bakr as-Siddiq: "I dreamed we were climbing up some stairs, but that I was two steps ahead (of you)." Abu Bakr interpreted this as follows: "O Messenger of God, after God raises your soul to heavens near Him and grants you His Compassion, I will give for another 2 1/2 years".
Your Lord will approve you (Yusuf) (as in your dream) select you and grant you the knowledge on interpretation of dreams (12:6), and 0 my Lord. You have indeed bestowed on me (something of) sovereignty, and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams and events... (12:101). According to these verses, God granted the knowledge of dreams to Yusuf (Joseph).

Papas+copia with a partner who prefers to be very submissive in bed? especially one who enjoys body worship and praise kink ;^3c. Thnks!
- For Papa Nihil a lot of his rougher more intense dominant bedroom shenanigans would have been in his younger years. He is mostly aware of his own limitations now to be y'know kinkster surpreme. The most physical punishment he can handle giving to you is spanking over his lap and even that can take a lot (partly because he's taking such deep breaths). Body worship and praise is actually a lot more his speed now! He will see you walk across the room and just "I've never noticed how beautiful your body moves in it's strides." He's always finding new things to complement you on physically, such as how your eyes light up in passion, or how your stomach feels so perfect when his hands move up it. He loves telling you how good you are, not only as a person but as a member of the church. That you should be proud of yourself, as he is.
- This is Papa I's arena. Not necessarily the submissive but body worship and praise? Unparalleled. The king. He can have you spinning with all the things he finds beautiful about you. He could write prose about the way his heart pounds when his gaze meets yours. How his very blood aches in his veins to be close to you. The way he will look at you in bed once you tell him shyly you like body worship… like a deity at his altar. Satan made you in the very image of the unholy ethereal. Take this man to church because you are a gospel. Goes into verse over each and every scar and mark you might dislike. Inbetween kissing his favorite parts and tasting them on the tip of his tongue, he tells you how lovely you are and how important you are to his life. And, most importantly, how deeply he loves you. He's more than happy to take the guiding hand in things (as long as you're alright with initiating most of the time or not being *super* active). Soft dom x10. More likely to tell you he's disappointed in your actions than any actual punishment (but you will feel your heart break and its somehow so much worse).
- Papa II generally prefers a submissive partner 9 times out of 10 (possibly less). He is more than happy to have a feeling of control of a situation than feel vulnerable but that's another topic for another time. He's incredibly attentive in an actual dominant role. You have a safe word. If there is a scene, he wants to discuss it first and what you both want out of it. Aftercare is a must. He tends to be more on the strict side. Doesn't have patience for a real brat type. Which is why praise is actually quite fun for him. He likes telling you how good you've been. How proud you've made him. How well you take everything he gives you and more. His body worship is more subtle than his elder brothers. More of showing than telling. Like, you might make an offhand comment about something you dislike and suddenly hes giving it a lot of attention the next time you're in bed. But if you need to hear it? He's gentle and tells you things how he sees them. That you are beautiful in his eyes.
- Papa III is a chameleon in terms of being a switch. He can almost sense where you're at on that scale and plays to it well. This definitely goes for a submissive partner. He's got a wolfish grin and its directed at you, babe. He's more lax on the actual dominant stuff- he doesn't like feeling like a hardass in the bedroom. Lots of teasing and begging. His praise is at times best in the heat of the moment. You're both hot and heavy and suddenly he's cursing in a mix of Italian and English, "Your eyes are so- fuck you feel so good- you're so fucking beautiful-" he has you bouncing on his cock telling you in the filthiest ways how amazing you are. His softer material comes after, in that lazy gentle haze where he's holding you close. Reassurance of how happy he is to have you beside him. When you're with him, he makes you feel like the most important person in his world. For body praise he likes kissing and marking as he speaks. Hickeys on your thighs just to remind you he was there and loving every inch. If you forget how he loves your body, well, he would love to show you over and over.
- Copia tends to lean submissive in his own mind. Just a tad. The idea of being vulnerable to someone else in that way is intoxicating, so of course he understands why you feel the same. Will actually have a lot of deep conversations with you on the topic once you're, like, close. But it always turns to how much he loves seeing that pleading look in your eyes when you so desperately want him to fuck you. Copia is similar to Papa I in that you really just want to please him naturally. Something about the way he looks at you when you do. Tends to be moderate in terms of roughness and patience. He's not overly harsh or strict but he also has strong limits of what he'll put up with in a submissive/dominant scenario. His praise comes on a silver tongue that sounds so genuine and sincere you could weep. Because if you're really his partner and not a one-off, he sees you that way. He truly does. His voice almost shudders when he speaks like that as if in awe of you before him. How you look. Fuck, how you always look. He'll tell you how difficult it is not to lust after you constantly with how attractive you are to him. That he could play with your hair or kiss your neck for hours.
