how do you think lucifer knew about pop culture and such? like even in season 5 when he was the original version of himself the writers hadn’t ruined yet, he uses a lot of slang and modern idioms. and i guess we could just say bad writing lol but what’s your opinion?

hiii hi lucifer's s5 pop culture references are one of my favorite dialogue writing choices of the show tbh! the tl;dr is that i think lucifer did a lot of digging around in nick's mind while he was hanging out in nick's body, but i'll like, show my work and stuff also lol

so, in 5.01, before lucifer has a physical vessel and is appearing in nick's dreams, there are no pop culture references in sarah!lucifer's speech, and very little slang. the same is true when lucifer speaks to azazel through the sacrificed nun in the flashback in 4.22.

the pop culture references start after lucifer has taken nick as a vessel and has full access to everything in nick's mind and body, not just whatever can be accessed through dreams. he also starts moving more casually and fluidly, with little gestural quirks that imo have a similar effect to the pop culture references: communicating with humans in human-oriented ways that humans will easily understand and that will make him more relatable to them (not necessarily more likable, but maybe less alien, at least)

so, i think the pop culture refs are picked up from his vessels' memories and thoughts! he got in there, he got total, internal access to nick's memories and his body's habits and his speech patterns and stuff, and starting using those materials in his own communication styles. and then maybe also picked some up through exposure once he had the basics down, after he'd been out of the cage for a while

speculatively, i'd guess this was part of why nick was appealing to lucifer as a vessel: from what we see of nick, we know that what he wears looks like he has a job that has him in work boots (so, probably not white collar, and probably therefore has a vernacular more similar to sam and dean's than someone who would be spending his days in a corporate office, for example) and has pretty standard spn-core ways of speaking. having nick as a vessel puts lucifer more in sam's world visually, in speech, and in movement style more than other possible vessels would. he probably knows a lot of the same pop culture sam does, and he probably talks the way people sam is comfortable and familiar with talk — so, if lucifer learns to talk like a human from nick, lucifer also will come across as a familiar, relatable type of person to sam (didn't work too well but like, A for effort). idk if lucifer would have known enough about human class structures etc to be able to identify nick as the right kind of human to learn human culture from in order to talk to sam, so disregard if that seems too circular...but imo it's smart from the writers/costumers/etc, even if it didn't factor into lucifer's choice at all

(all of this makes different angels' characterization really interesting, i think, because some of them do a lot of human-ifying of themselves like this, while others don't. does castiel not do it much for the sake of jimmy's mind/memory privacy, or because he just doesn't care very much about seeming human? what's up with uriel and michael using pop culture referneces but not much human body language? like i know it's largely inconsistency in writing and acting choices for different characters but just assuming it's actually character-based reasons, i love it. and imo it implies that lucifer is very curious about humanity, even though he wants to get rid of them, and is good with rhetoric in that he understands the value of speaking to people in a way that feels familiar (he sucks at rhetoric in some other ways lol, but he was doing a good job on that, at least))

Character Creation Tip #2 - Trying out a New Trait

After you’ve found a few character traits you’re satisfied with, chose one of them and follow these steps:

Write a paragraph (6-8 sentences MAX)

Use ONLY actions / behaviors that show this trait (up to x4)

Use ONLY physical features that represent/symbolize/define or enhance this trait (up to x4)

DO NOT state the trait itself or any synonymous adjectives (i.e. if your trait is “friendly” then this word should not appear in your paragraph. Also avoid adjacent phrases or words like “makes friends easily” or “kind to people” or “outgoing”)

Read the passage aloud to a friend / have a friend read the passage themselves and check that they could determine the trait with just your paragraph as a resource (don’t help them out!)

If someone else can figure out what type of character you were going for (or close to it), then you’ve likely chosen precise descriptions. If not, then take note on what answers you received based on your traits and recognize what your descriptions actually show and try again until you get it right. This exercise is where your audience is key. They will be your best guide for understanding how your work is received, and how you can change it to approach your end goal.

Vince: What kind of a person throws large parties he doesn't attend?

Nick: A person who likes large parties. I like large parties, they're so intimate. At small parties, there isn't any privacy

actually i think it's criminal that i have never shared my nick campbell playlist so here. it's a mix of songs that i think nick would for his persona to like, and songs that i think speak to deeper themes of his character
