Barbatos boosting our confidence one compliment at a time 💜

We should all take Barbatos's words to heart.

Even though it can be nearly impossible to do at times, each and every one of us should have confidence in ourselves. We all work hard and strive to do what we can for the people we care about most.

Most importantly... we are all very special in our own ways, which is something we should always recognize and embrace 💜

Everything we know about Solomon so far, lore wise.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR ALL SEASONS

➤ He's humanity's most powerful sorcerer (swd: 2-A) and one of RAD's first exchange students who has pacts with 72 different demons (swd: 2-2), two of which are Asmodeus and Barbatos (swd: 2-A).

➤ He was the one to rescue MC from Lucifer when the demon was threatening them during the dance party at the retreat, and when MC asked him how to control a demon who's in a pact with them, Solomon explained that they didn't have the magic abilities to that yet but lent them his powers, saying he was "interested to know what would happen if he did." (swd: 8-8) And his powers came in handy later on when MC and the others were escaping from Henry 1.0 and MC used his borrowed powers to summon Asmodeus and charm the giant snake. (swd: 8-13)

➤ He's in possession of the Ring of Wisdom, which grants him the power to control demons. It was given to him by Michael himself, as a way to help Solomon during a time when he was feeling "lost." (swd: 29-5)

➤ He made himself immortal by accident while researching new forms of magic and as a result of it, can no longer grow old or die. (swd: 36-3)

➤ He was the first to suspect that MC's powers were becoming a threat to the three realms when he connected MC's return to the Human World to the "natural disasters" that started happening in ancient locations that were connected to the other realms. And to test if his hypothesis was correct, he brought them to Devildom with him. (swd: 37-4)

➤ Being the one to find out about MC's "situation", he was also the one who told Diavolo and Barbatos about it (swd: 37-4). For a while, they were the only ones who knew, as the prince decided to keep it a secret until there was solid proof that MC was the cause of the disasters happening around them. Eventually, though, Solomon was able to convince Diavolo that it was a good idea to tell Simeon, making him the fourth to know. (swd: 32-16)

➤ After giving it some thought, he decided to go against Diavolo's request and tell MC about their powers anyway. He was beginning to tell them when Lucifer fainted, affected by MC's powers (swd: 36-18). The secret was out to everyone then.

➤ He stole the Night Dagger - the item that was supposed to be used on MC to sever their pacts with the brothers when their powers were proven to be a threat to everyone and everything around them - from Thirteen's cave. (swd: 37-9)

➤ When he found out that to use the Night Dagger to save the three worlds he needed to kill a high-ranking demon with it first he made a plan to kill Lucifer himself, but the idea of MC hating him because of it made him change his mind. (swd: 38-15)

➤ He took MC as his apprentice to help them learn how to control their powers (swd: 38-19) and from then on became their teacher, guiding them through the journey of becoming a full-fledged sorcerer.

➤ According to Michael, he's a decent human with a good head on his shoulders, but can be even more troublesome than demons at times. "He acts as if he understands his own powers, but he doesn't." The angel tells MC - who had been sent back in time to when the brothers were still angels in the Celestial Realm through a dream due to eating Solomon's cooking - before bringing them back home. (swd: 44-18)

➤ He founded the Sorcerers’ Society with one of his past apprentices who he later had a strong disagreement with, which led to Solomon distancing himself from the society. (swd: 45-4)

➤ His pact with Asmodeus was made in a tavern long long ago while the brother was drunk out of his mind. (swd: 53-16) Solomon saw that the demon was in no coherent state and took advantage of that to propose a pact between the two of them. (nb: 6-18 and 17-13)

➤ He met Barbatos even before he met Asmodeus when he risked death to summon the butler (swd: 53-16), desperately needing his powers to control time for reasons that are still unknown (swd: 49-A).

➤ He has Barbatos' grimoire, which the butler gave to him himself out of trust and respect for him. (swd: 53-16)

➤ After MC completed their trials to become a sorcerer and before the brothers left the Human World, he gave MC a sorcerer's ring. (swd: 59-11)

➤ When teleported away by Barbatos as punishment for summing him, he found himself in a dining room where Diavolo and Simeon were arguing over which side should be the one to “guide” humanity, demons or angels. They asked Solomon to make a choice but he told them that humans don't need their protection, claiming that he wants humanity to be free and that's part of an agreement he has with someone. Then, everything goes black and an unknown voice ( who we later find out is Nightbringer ) accuses Solomon of being “difficult” and tells him that things would be easier if he chose his side, even bringing up MC to ask if the sorcerer would change his mind if his apprentice was to “get caught up in the middle of it.” In response Solomon asks if that's a threat and tells Nightbringer that he's acting like a demon, explaining later that he knows MC wants the same thing as him. The voice calls him overconfident for this, saying that Solomon is sure to the point where he becomes arrogant, and tells him that he is the one behaving like a demon. Solomon isn't surprised by this, replying that it's to be expected considering that Nightbringer is ���the one who made him who he is today.” (nb: 9-A and 10-A)

➤ He met Thirteen when he was still a child, and she wasn't even an apprentice reaper yet. The meeting was a surprise to both of them but to Solomon even more, who shrieked in terror when he saw her. According to her, Solomon's soul was as bright as MC's back then, but ever since becoming "The Witty Sorcerer" that changed and it no longer sparkles the same way. (nb: 11-10)

➤ Thirteen blames Barbatos for how much he changed. She told MC that Solomon used to be very lovable and innocent when he was younger, but that Barbatos let him experience whatever he wanted and that's the reason why nothing scares or fazes him anymore. (nb: 11-10)

➤ Although he's immortal there are still ways to kill Solomon by using certain magic and cursed items, and Thirteen is waiting for the day he dies to have his soul. (nb: 11-10)

➤ He was given the title of “the Witty Sorcerer” by Barbatos when the demon brought him to the Fountain of Knowledge for the first time while Solomon was on the verge of death. Barbatos then declared that the human was supposed to protect the spring, and Solomon stayed there until his wounds were healed. (nb: 11-10)

➤ He was raised in a place where magic was a thing to be feared and people were locked up and killed for simply having been rumored to have been seen using it. For that reason, Solomon's parents locked him in a basement away from the world when he started developing magic skills as a child out of fear of what the townsfolk could do to him and the rest of the family if they knew. (nb: 14-14)

➤ While locked away Solomon had a friend ( most likely another child ) who would visit him every now and then and chat with him through the bars of the window in the basement. Something happened to that friend, but Solomon couldn't bring himself to say what. (nb: 14-14 and 14-16)

➤ His life goal is to be powerful enough to protect humanity and to create a world where humans demons and angels can finally stand as equals (nb: 14-14 and 14-16), as opposed to now where humans are seen as an inferior race that to one side ( demons ) is prey and to the other ( angels ) are weaker beings that must be protected. That's also why he's determined to continue to make pacts with powerful demons such as Lucifer, to obtain more power from those pacts.

➤ In a book Satan found there is a passage about Solomon that reads: "Long ago, in a corner of the human world, a sorcerer of rare and extraordinary power was born. He was extremely unique, both in power and nature. As such, he was unable to find a place within human society, and was persecuted by his people, who refused to accept such an aberration. For quite some time he fought to suppress his own power; until he could do so no longer, and lost control. He ended up causing tremendous damage and destruction to the human world." "Once it became clear that the sorcerer posed a threat not just to humans, but to all three worlds, a lone demon appeared before him, offering him guidance. The demon made him guardian of the Fountain of Knowledge and gave him a new lease on life. And so, as the freshly minted protector of knowledge itself, he was thereafter known as 'the wise sorcerer, a title he retains to this day." (nb: 16-4)

➤ He fought a war against the Devildom by himself. (nb: 7-8) It started with Solomon proposing to the Demon King that the demonic realm partnered up with him and demons worked under him to further the Human World’s development, which angered the king and gave start to the war, which lasted 7 days. (nb card: "unforgettable past")

Gn!reader

-> I really feel like lucifer and barbatos would always challenge about who could act mc with more gentleman behaviour. Like bros would sending each other death glare and then turn to mc with the softest gaze.

Lucifer: MC, would you like me to court you to the dance saloon.

Barbatos: *tch* What a foolish request. As the butler of this castle it my duty to do so, just let me my dear *he says as he doesn't even wait your respond take your hand with him to walk you away gently. He feels lucifer's burning gaze in his neck*

Barbatos: MC my dear, i heard you were intrested in devildom night opera? Very well. I shall assist you to the the-

Lucifer: Not needed. MC is living in HoL and since they are in our responsibility to protect i will assist them to go theatre. Well then, have a nice day Barbatos. Shall we, mc? *he says as he hold your belly and takes you out from classroom and sees Barbatos's grip on his chin becomes tighter.*

One day, at Diavolo's Castle where he invited you and lucifer to have a tea party this chaos is also seen by Diavolo

Lucifer: They don't love their tea like that. Let me do it.

Barbatos: My my, have you forgoten who's tea you came to drink tea lucifer?

Lucifer: Then do the tea like how you know my tastes. Ah but you dont know it well since you dont live with MC ri-

Barbatos: Very well. But i wont let you serve to them. Your poor knowledge about serving to them is out of lines.

*as the girls are fighting Diavolo turns and looks at your worried face*

Diavolo: Want to sneak away?

MC: ...yes please.

[In fact, he uses this issue to his advantage ;) ]

Scaring the Devil With Chocolate & Cookies

What did I make???? What the fuck did I make with chocolate and cookies that scared Diavolo?????

Satan’s worried about our mental state now??? What did I do???

[celestialrealms]

underrated way barbatos being a greed demon is shown pretty well is that he clearly has a thing about dressing mc up

[still-a-morosexual-help]

Polyamory really is the solution to all love triangles huh

[impish-ivy]

One of the best devilgrams in NB

💙Trust And Poison💙

Why nobody has talked about this devilgram is beyond me especially since Lucifer is such a popular character.

So the story goes that Lucifer asks to see you after RAD, and obviously everyone thinks he’s ready to lecture you. But twist! He’s actually in a great mood and even got you a rare treat—an apple of truth, to be exact.

If eaten this apple forces the person who eats it to tell the truth or die. And Lucifer wants us to eat it. He talks about how he’s unable to trust you and this will ease his worries.

Uh oh! That’s not good! What happens next?

Beel comes into the student council room and sees the apple and chomps it down!

Lucifer’s plan fails. Lucifer. Fails.

This hardly ever happens and it’s such an obvious way to fail too! He failed in such a silly way!

It then cuts away to a peeved MC who is upset that Lucifer doesn’t trust them and tried to force them to tell the truth. Lucifer in an attempt to apologize arranges you a tea party with Diavolo and Barbatos. He openly admits that he’s using Barbatos’s sweets as an apology.

You can even get a real genuine apology from him.

This devilgram has everything for everyone!

If you like Lucifer you get to see him be pathetic!

If you don’t like Lucifer you get to see him be pathetic!

It’s a win-win!

If you have this DG, read it!

[warper-in-training]

I'm kinda dissapointed at the devilgram, I think they changed the writers too..? hmm, it could've been better but it was too short for a UR imo, felt like a 500 word story lol. the start was funny though.

I wish the story was longer :<.maybe i'll rewrite it cause i like the concept..

spoilers for Barbatos vs Belphie

angry barb... means whumper ba- adds Belphie to the list of om whumpees

HELLO. this guy can make the stupidest shortest devilgrams worth it with that smile and and and

pFF world saved by Barb again let us celebrate 😀

[misc-obeyme]

do you have a favorite story arc/subplot in OM or NB? for me the time lucifer gets amnesia in OM s2 is my absolute favorite

Why yes, I would say I do have a couple parts that are my faves~

Spoiler warning for OG seasons three and four!

This is probably a very obvious answer from me, but I am fond of the part in OG season four where Barbatos gets cursed and starts following MC around and being obsessed with them. It's funny and you know he was not happy when the curse was finally lifted and it turned out MC could've removed it themselves the whole time...

I also love all of season three of the OG. We got so much Solomon time with him guiding MC through the tasks to become a sorcerer. And then there's that whole part of it with Barbatos and his grimoire and we get some of the backstory with those guys... and Asmo in that bear outfit omg he's adorable. I dunno, I just really loved all of season three. There was also that whole part with Mammon at the cafe where they were trying to dispel the idea that the coffee makes you fall in love or whatever, so he was supposed to pretend to break up with MC but he couldn't lasdkjfldfj it was so cute! And also the butcher is in this season and I just thought that whole part was hilarious, too.

Though I have to agree that Lucifer getting amnesia is also an excellent part.

This is all OG content... if I had to choose my favorite part of NB, it'd just be all the domestic content we get with Solomon. It was hard for me to really enjoy the bros in NB so far because it's not our version of them, you know? So it was like, will this even matter? And we're still not sure on that, but perhaps we'll get more insight into it soon.

[nerdy-talks]

So I finally got around to reading this Devilgram :

And it proved to be quite interesting, to say the least.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it definitely sounds like Solomon's first encounter with Asmodeus and the pact they entered into is what caused this entire incident.

Solomon is the biggest tease, I swear. But that only makes me love him more TwT

And I love Barbatos for being so upfront lol

I also found this funny :

Again.... Those brothers. He says those brothers!

Solomon is upset they interrupted his date with MC, so his response is to try and jinx them. But don't worry! It's for "scientific purposes". Because that's totally believable *sarcasm*

Solomon the Petty Sorcerer xD

‼️NIGHTBRINGER DEVILGRAM SPOILERS‼️

masterlist | brothers' devilgram | dateables + side characters devilgram | events | hdd ch. 1

isn't this not how that works or am i dumb

couldn't they just take turns ?????

yet another levi star wars reference...unless tsl is this world's star wars or something

i feel like it was a fake. no way barbatos would've just left it out in the open or in a place where it's location could've be easily detected

he's the time demon. he saw this coming. no way in hell that was the real flower after everything that happened in the hdd event 😭

...ok so maybe it was the real thing. but barbatos wouldn't do anything without reason so i don't think he's panicking too bad

yk i thought the wings would take them to a place to relive their memories, just like they had to do in the hdd story. but this is equally as cute, if not cuter than that

he's so 🥺

SENTIMENTAL SAPPY MAMMON FTW i need more of this in the main story before i unalive

i love him so bad you don't understand

[kuranprincess18]

ah yes, an out of context Luci screenshot 🥴💙

[celestialrealms]

🤨🤨

[still-a-morosexual-help]

Love it when characters casually reveal some insane childhood trauma with a nostalgic smile on their face because this is just a normal part of their childhood how fun! to the absolute horror of those around them who are very much in the 'that's not normal what the actual fuck' boat

Okay but here's what makes me tear up:

This conversation happens in a devilgram where Diavolo is picking apples for Barbatos to make an apple pie for him and it cuts to a flashback that shows Diavolo wanted an apple tree to impress his new angel friend and excitedly tells this to Barbatos. Barbatos then helps Diavolo plant an apple tree in the forest

Isn't that rattling your brain!!!? Aren't you foaming at the mouth!?!?!

The Demon King enchanted this forest to be full of things that could hurt and kill his child, all in the name of preparing Diavolo to be a better king

Then Barbatos helps Diavolo plant apple trees in it, because Diavolo wants to share it with their enemy, a gesture of friendship and good will that would eventually bring peace to the three worlds* which in turn helps Diavolo grow towards becoming a better king

Diavolo's father created a deadly survival course for a child so he wouldn't get bored, something that would keep Diavolo away from him, and the man who actually raised Diavolo spent time with Diavolo helping him grow apple trees in it

A labour of love grown and tended to for years, if not centuries, just so Diavolo could give his friend apples (another gesture of love) built upon the soil of something that was meant to push and punish Diavolo into being the ideal ruler

*(over a series of meetings Diavolo & Lucifer become friends -> Lucifer starts questioning things in the Celestial Realm -> Lucifer, pushed by the sentence against Lilith, starts a war in the Celestial Realm -> Lucifer seeks sanctuary in the Devildom -> Diavolo helps Lucifer + reincarnates Lilith -> Lucifer pledges his loyalty to Diavolo + through Lilith's line MC is eventually born -> through MC & the brothers' fates being tied Lucifer accidentally picks MC for the exchange program -> MC showing that people from all three worlds could not only be close friends but family starts mending bridges + MC wanting to stay in the Devildom permanently gets everyone actively pushing for peace leading to them becoming part of the student council/government and challenging the views of the older/more conservative demons -> all this eventually kickstarts both Diavolo & Lucifer's character & relationship development -> Diavolo learns to be a more considerate ruler & person who listens to others instead of immediately jumping in with his own plans & ideas + Lucifer learns to actually push back against Diavolo & not just be his 'Yes Man')

Also this Devilgram is called "The Seven Apples"

and with lines like,

"Still...I hope that all this effort bears fruit, someday"

"With enough care and attention, I'm certain that it shall."

"Ah, well. Good things come to those who wait, and all that."

And talk about the future of the Devildom and how they pick exactly seven apples, the whole tree talk/metaphor is 100% about gaining the friendship & trust of Lucifer and his brothers by putting in the effort, care and attention to one day, years in the future, have seven shining apples with you

BUT, EVEN WITHOUT THAT DOUBLE MEANING,

It's not just a tree.

It's all about love, isn't it and the things we do for the people we love.

MC trying to make a Halloween themed dessert... I'm not sure if I should feel proud of the creation or insulted 🤣
