#obey me lesson 16 spoilers

[nocreativityfornames]

The timing and occasion on which MC made the pacts with Lucifer and Belphegor should've been switched and here's why:

SPOILERS FROM LESSON 16 TO 20-14!!

I don't know if anyone has ever posted something similar to this but it's something I've been thinking about it for a while. I've never quite liked the way these two pacts were formed and to me, they were both timed weirdly and overall had little to no weight on the story, which sort of irritates me in a way.

I think our pact with Lucifer should've taken place at the party where MC was celebrated instead of the end of the season, it would've been much more meaningful that way and left way more impact than the disaster of a scene that lesson 20-14 was in my opinion. Because here's the thing:

Lucifer is the Avatar of Pride, one of the most powerful beings in all three realms, someone who's led an entire army through war and was maybe the first of his kind to rebel against its own creator. It's not easy to gain his respect, much less his trust, so for him to put his pride aside and offer a human the power to control his entire being, it's much more than a simple "possessive and horny confession", t's him placing his ultimate trust in someone, it's him showing just how much he's grown to care for you.

Because you deserve it. You were the human who put his dear family back together, who willingly ran head first into danger more than once just for the sake of protecting his brothers, who gave your life trying to help fix what he broke. You were much more than a simple exchange student, you were someone he had slowly come to cherish, who so gradually approached his heart that he didn't even notice you come in and before he knew it, all the irritation and distrust he felt towards you had turned into love and admiration. You were a precious presence in his life that he felt the need to protect but failed to do so.

So Lucifer offering to make a pact with you just shortly after all you had gone through was a way to let you know just how immensely grateful he was for all you had done for him and his family, to show you that you had not only earned his respect and trust but also his love. It was an apology for every time he had put you in harm's way and for not being there for you when you needed him the most. Lucifer offering you a pact it's him letting you know that he will never ever let anyone hurt you again and that he'll always be there for you from now on, it's him saying that you can lean on him as much as you need because you're now part of his family — the one thing he puts above all others and will do anything for.

Lucifer asking to make a pact with you it's him showing you mean the world to him while having no qualms about letting the whole three realms know you were remarkable enough to make the prideful Morning Star let go of his sin and give you all of him.

-

Now, let's talk about Belphegor. As I've seen many point out, the reaction to MC's death after lesson 16 as whole was terrible. There was barely any acknowledgment of what happened, no apology coming from Belphegor, and the weirdest thing of all: MC was not only completely okay with being close to Belphegor but also the only one trying to help him when all the brothers were more than rightfully being awkward around him. So let's just put it this way: the whole situation was beyond bizarre and we all like to pretend it wasn't canon.

But back to the matter at hand: Canonically, MC's pact with Belphegor is formed at Diavolo's birthday party. After he disappears from the main hall where everyone is and MC goes to find him on their own. That itself already seems wrong, I mean, I don't know about you personally but if I had just been murdered by someone a few days/weeks ago, I definitely wouldn't want to leave the side of those I'm safe with to go find that person alone. But Canon!MC is very dumb and we can't do anything about it so our only choice is to follow him.

We are also not given the choice to refuse the pact when it's proposed nor MC has the chance to speak a word about it. Now the way I see this, it's a clear sign that MC doesn't want a pact with him. They are scared and pressured into making a pact with Belphegor because they're not sure what could happen if they refused. Because then again, this is the guy that murdered them not that long ago and laughed at their dead body like he was having the time of his life. And the last time MC refused to make a pact didn't exactly go well either, with Satan shoving them into a bookshelf and threatening the hell out of them.

And if Satan reacted like that, imagine Belphegor. And there was no one around either, Canon!MC had made the stupid decision to go find Belphegor on their own and had no one to protect them at the moment. So they have no choice, they are frozen with fear and are ""forced"" to make a pact with him even though they dread the idea. It's just awful and I hate that scene so much I can't even put it into words.

MC's pact with Belphegor shouldn't have been formed so early. They should've had the time to heal from all the trauma, time to distance themselves from Belphegor, and to process everything they had been through. And then only later they would slowly start to warm up to him again, after they know for a fact he's truly sorry for what he did and deeply regrets it. After they are ready to face him.

And for Belphegor's pact with MC to be formed on their last day in the Devildom, it would've simply been beautiful. Because then Belphegor would've also had the time to learn to appreciate MC, to realize how special they truly were, for what he did to become one of the biggest regrets he's ever carried. Belphegor would've had the time to see right in front of him how you treated those you had a pact with, time to realize that to you, a pact wasn't about gaining power and status, but about forming a deeper connection with someone.

The pacts you shared were proof of your strong bond with his brothers and all the love you had for them. And honestly, it broke his heart to be the only one in the family who didn't have that kind of connection with you. But he wouldn't dare ask for it, he couldn't ask for it. He didn't have the right, not after what he did to you that day. You were nice enough to forgive him, to treat him with kindness when all he deserved was your hate and loathing. He couldn't ask for more, no matter much he wished to.

So when you come around and ask him for a pact on your last night in the Devildom, he couldn't have felt happier. To know that you had come to trust him like that again even after all he did, for you to love him enough to want his pact mark on you for the rest of your life, it felt nothing short of incredible. He wondered what he had done to deserve you, because someone as caring and sweet as you should have no business staying close to someone as rotten as him. But he gladly accepts the pact after you confirm to him that's truly what you want. Belphegor then hugs you as tight as he can, sobbing in your embrace as he is filled with both the happiness of your newly formed pact and the sadness that you have to leave.

MC being the one to ask for a pact with Belphegor shows that they've come to trust him just as much as his brothers. And the pact itself is a sign that they've both come to overcome their past traumas and now feel more than comfortable with each other. It's proof of the strong and unbreakable bond they have.

Mc snaps from being lilith’s replacement and everything changing after everything everyone has done to them, they start acting like and dressing like her, soon everyone starts to notice…

I've definitely noticed that the brothers mention Lilith a lot, like maybe a little bit too much 🌝 anyways, I enjoyed writing this. The end is a little bit based off a similar experience I had but I hope you guys like it <3

TW : Self harm, implications of suicide, panic attack!

Slight spoilers for Lesson 16!

In the corner of the room sat a human, curled up and hyperventilating. The human wore a long white dress with a yellow bow in the back, just like a past angel. The appearance between the human and dead angel were uncanny, but there was on distinct difference; the dress the human wore was torn, and scratches covered their face and arms— nothing like how the angel would present herself as. The human knew this, you knew this.

In the corner of the room sat you, you looked like you got mauled by a bear, but in reality the one who caused the scratches was you. After months of mental and emotional torment, you finally snapped.

It all started when the brothers began to point out similarities between you and their dead sister, Lilith. From how you walked, how you spoke, and even pointing out the smallest of habits. It made you uncomfortable, but how could you say a thing? "I'm sure they're just reminding themselves of good memories, they'll stop soon," that was all you could tell yourself, you didn't want to upset them so you just sucked up the uncomfortable feelings for everyone's sake. You didn't want to anger them, you didn't want to end up with your throat crushed all over again, and you didn't want them to be upset. No matter how much hope you had, nothing got better.

Little things became big things, and big things absorbed everything. When you did something they didn't like, they'd remind you of Lilith, "Lilith wouldn't do that." You tailored yourself to be just like her, from the way she spoke and even her littlest habits— day by day, your hope began to fade. After awhile, they even made you appear like her— telling you to change your hair color to hers, dressing you in the dress she always loved to wear. Not wanting to cause a commotion, you sat there and sucked all of it up.

"MC!~ Let me fix your makeup, Lilith would never walk around with a scratch on her face!" Everything the demon brothers did told you that they didn't think of you as MC, but instead Lilith. They thought of you just like a doll, a doll that represented their beloved sister, so they dressed up that doll for peace of mind. They ignored how you felt about the drastic changes, forcing you to become someone you never were or wanted to be.

The day you broke was during a dinner with all of the brothers, everything was going alright; but slowly the conversation shifted towards you, or Lilith as they thought of. Their words jumbled up in your head, it felt like all you could hear was Lilith's name. Even though you tried to hold your emotions back, like a broken dam they spilled out everywhere.

"No! Stop it! Stop doing this to me!" Seemingly out of nowhere, you rushed out of your sit and threw the utensils that were in your hand. You could feel all their eyes starting, but somehow it felt like hundreds of more eyes were watching your meltdown. "Everyone is watching, everyone is watching.. no, please don't look at me! Please.." Your inner monologue clouded your thoughts, the outsiders words were drowned out. "What.. a.. talking," word after word was drowned out, unable to focus on what the brothers were saying. "I'm not Lilith! I'm not Lilith! I'm not Lilith! I'm not Lilith!" You grasped your hair, you were trying to convince the brothers along with yourself that you weren't their sweet little sister. Tears were flowing from your eyes like a faucet, like a little kid who turned on the sink but couldn't reach it to turn it off— sobs fell from your lips, everything felt confusing.

Were you talking to yourself? Were you talking to the demons around you? You didn't know, just like you didn't know if you were Lilith. Everything the brothers said and did, slowly and unintentionally made a small part of you think of yourself as her. Why were you so similar yet so different? Constantly scolding yourself when you didn't play her part correctly, but another part of you scolded you for forcing yourself to be someone you weren't. So many conflicting thoughts and emotions, now was the time you could finally free them.

"Stop making me like her! I was never her and I'll never be her!" When you looked up you saw the brothers in shock, none of their mouths were moving and they were blinking. The only thing you could hear was your heavy breathing and choked sobs, you couldn't bare the tension. It was overwhelming, you wanted to throw up and scream. Like you always did before you became the doll of Lilith, you ran and hid— hiding yourself in the first place you could think of.

Heavy footsteps ran up the stair, to a hallway you never explored, you ran to the farest door. Always too afraid to go down this hall due to the constant moaning of the ghost that haunted this area, you never dared to mess with them— but now you were in a state of mind that ignored all the pain and fear building up. When you ran into the room you noticed how it had a large balcony, the room was empty, the only thing dividing you and the balcony was a door.

It was then you remembered Asmodeus' words, how Lilith never had a scratch on her. You couldn't think straight, tearing and tearing at the dress until the ribbon was gone and the hem of the dress was torn. You threw yourself into a corner, scratching and scratching at your face and arms. Asmodeus' words clogged your thoughts, you wanted to tear off all the makeup on your face and scar your entire body; of course because Lilith never had a scratch on her. You just wanted to prove to them, and most importantly yourself that you weren't her. You forced yourself to become like her, you allowed the brothers to treat you like a doll of Lilith, one they could dress up and force to mimic Lilith.

If it meant ruining yourself, you would do anything to not be seen as her. Tired of never being yourself, tired of taking hours to make yourself appear like her, tired of never expressing your true emotions, today was the day you could finally have the peace of mind you always craved.

Slowly standing up, you stumbled over to the balcony door; fumbling with the lock but eventually making your way onto the balcony. You knew what you were about to do, but you didn't try to stop yourself. Horrible thoughts filled your mind, and all of you wanted was to rest in peace.

Without hesitation, you climbed over the balcony fence and stood at the ledge. The wind rustled your torn dress, you could feel a smile creep onto your face; after months of constant pain, you were finally going to end it all. Not caring about how the wind would burst your ear drums during the fall, or how your body would crash onto the ground— you let go of the fence.

all I’ve been able to think about is mc and Solomon going back and forth about things only humans would know. by that I mean quotes from iconic movies, vines, trending TikTok sounds.

one day mammon would try calling MC “my precious” and suddenly the humans are laughing on the floor for 20 minutes.

why did MC tell Solomon that he lost “the game”? what game???

this isn’t a Chilis what is a Chili’s

why does Solomon keep saying “it’s defrosting” during the fall and why did he just say that he ate a tidepod????

no mc please apologize for saying “boo you whore” when asmo cancelled plans and why are you and Solomon on-stage in sexy Santa costumes

MC, Beel is on a rampage why are you worried about the broken table

why is Solomon dancing around with a jar of dirt??

what is zaza???? and why did MC laugh at a pot of macaroni

Belphie goes to Lucifer and says “yes ik I choked the human to death but they said “harder daddy” while giggling so please make sure it gets replaced I think ours is broken”

idk I have so many thoughts about the humans ™️ I feel like everyone will be so confused over them laughing at a black and white cheetah picture that says “farted”

Strong MC (lesson 16)

I'm calling this part one of the 3 AM chronicles, it was meant to be mostly funny, but some of them got kinda angsty and obviously, there's violence.

I just got to thinking, what if in a different timeline, MC is just jacked and ends up beating the ever-loving shit out of Belphegor?

I hope you enjoy!

Also, P.S. don't be scared to use the ask box, pretty please use the ask box, I wanna know what my audience enjoys because while I love writing and I write what I want, I also want to make some of you happy as well. :)

Lucifer ♥ 

He’s always been impressed by your strength since you first came to the Devildom, if not, a little confused. 

He’s seen plenty of strong humans, he knows body builders exist in the human world, but he thought it was a small percentage of them  

Never did he think that a strong human would be summoned to the devildom, specifically, a non-magical strong human. 

He heard a scream of absolute horror that sounded a lot like the youngest demon brother. 

At first, he’s confused, but also very concerned. Hadn’t he put a sound-blocking spell on the attic door? 

He’s quick to hurry his way up to the attic, only to see you... with the 7th ruler of hell, let me repeat that for those in the back; human who has one of the rulers of hell pinned beneath them, your foot pressing on the back of his skull, his arms bent around his backside, held in place by your knee, both of your arms struggling to keep his tail in place. 

He’s speechless. It’s not often the Avatar of Pride is devoid of any words, but this is one of those moments. 

Um. Thank goodness you’re not hurt? Yes, that’s the correct reaction. Oh thank my old man that you aren’t hurt 

I mean, he knew that was Belphie’s plan all along, to hurt the exchange student so Diavolo’s reputation is ruined, so at least that wouldn’t happen. 

Mammon ♥ 

Unlike Lucifer, your strength doesn’t make him worry any less. 

He won’t say it though, he’ll just kind of follow you around and say it’s his duty to protect you, only as your first man, of course. 

But he figured that you were safe in the house, so he didn’t worry nearly as much when you were home. 

He was just chilling in his room one day, scrolling through Devilgram when he heard Belphie’s scream. 

Well, at least it isn’t him that’s getting strung up by Lucifer. It was nice knowing you, Belphie 

… 

Huh. Isn’t Belphie supposed to be in the human world? 

He starts following the source of the screaming only to see you on top of Belphie, your eyes wide in shock, chest heaving as they stare at the back of the youngest’s head. 

Lucifer’s already ordering everybody back, so Mammon stays on the side lines and starts snapping photos, oh, these are going to going to sell so good!~ 

He can’t help but let out a little giggle, did Belphegor, the 7th ruler of hell, really get a royal ass-beating from the human exchange student? Absolute gold. 

He is, of course, worried. He kind of wants to jump in and punch Belphie himself, I mean, why the hell would you look so scared if he wasn’t being a little brat?  

With all due respect, though, with the state that Lucifer’s in, he figures it’s not a good idea to get in the middle of anything.  

Leviathan ♥ 

At first, he was kind of scared of you 

I mean, seeing you casually lifting weights with Beel kind of made him wimp out of making friends with you, but he was actually pretty shocked to find out you enjoyed the same things that he did.  

He has a bad habit of hiding behind you in social events. Not because he expects you to protect him or anything, because obviously even a strong human can’t beat a demon, let alone protect a ruler of hell.  

He was actually working on a cosplay at the time of the great ass-whooping, revamping his older Ruri-chan costume, to be exact. 

Huh, wasn’t that Belphie screaming? Weird.  

That was Belphie screaming. 

Belphie is not supposed to come back to the Devildom until the exchange program is over. Huh. Maybe he misheard it. So, he stays in his room, because why would be show anyone but convention folks his cosplay? 

Until he gets a text from Mammon. A pic of Mammon’s gorgeous, shocked face, with the caption “BRO GET YOUR ASS UP HERE” 

He trots his happy ass up to the attic, which he finds weird, how did Belphie end up here before anyone noticed him coming into the house of- 

LMAO THIS IS COMEDIC GOLD 

Wait a minute, if... if you beat the shit out of Belphie, what could happen to him if you got mad? 

He’s kind of caught in his head while this whole ordeal is going down, he wants to laugh, really, but he also wants to cower and hide. Did he really underestimate you? I mean, he knew you were strong but Belphie literally has the power of a demon behind him. He has a literal extra appendage, and yet you took him down. 

Freaky. 

Everyone was too engrossed in Belphie being humiliated to even make a big deal about his cosplay, which he couldn’t be more grateful for.  

Satan ♥ 

He’s always been grateful for your willingness to answer his questions.  

He would ask Solomon about human stuff, but a couple-thousand-year-old sorcerer isn’t really the prime example of a regular human. 

He really doesn’t have a lot of opinions about your strength, he was a little shocked, yes, and kind of felt the same as Lucifer with the whole “I thought only a small percent of humans were strong what the hell went wrong/right?” 

He’s getting his daily reading in one day, sitting down with a book and just taking a moment to himself, blocking himself away from the weight of the world outside of his room. 

He hears loud, thundering footsteps outside, like a tank is running through the house. Beel. 

He better not raid the fucking fridge again I swear to dad if he does Satan is going to lose his marbles. 

He immediately sets down his book and darts out after Beel, not saying anything quite yet, just wanting to make sure he isn’t wrongly accusing his younger brother, for some odd reason. 

Fully expecting the Avatar of Gluttony to dart to the kitchen, he’s kind of shocked when Beel takes a turn toward the staircase up to the attic. 

I mean, yes, he heard a scream that sounded an awful lot like Belphegor from the attic, but he kind of figured Mammon maybe just had a voice crack when he was being strung up again.  

And that’s when he sees it. 

Like Lucifer, he’s just kind of... shocked. Speechless. He knew you were strong but literally pinning down the 7th ruler of hell? That’s a big feat for a lower demon, let alone a human. 

Asmodeus ♥ 

He praises himself for his slender figure but he never said he didn’t enjoy muscle on his lovers, either. 

From the day you arrived in the Devildom, he’s begging you to carry him, or give him a deep-tissue back massage, or really, anything, he makes any excuse to be around you. 

He loves how strong you are, he can take a little manhandling, you know that, right MC? Just don’t be rough on his face <3 

He was sitting in his room on that fateful day, getting out his nail polish and waiting for you. You did mention that you had one more thing to take care of before you could join him, but should it really be taking this long? 

He’s used to hearing screams in the House of Lamentation, from Mammon being strung from the ceiling, and of course, screams from his own bedroom, but this was unlike any of those.  

It was Belphie, screaming, no, shrieking at the top of his lungs. 

Did he come back early? Oh, I bet he didn’t remember to keep those gorgeous nails of his painted. 

He hears the thumping of two pairs of feet racing through the hallway, and immediately he’s intrigued.  

So now he’s trailing behind Satan and Beel up to the attic, where he finds Belphegor, the 7th ruler of hell, pinned beneath... you? 

But... MC... why isn’t he the one being pinned? Has he not been good to you? 

In all seriousness, he’s shocked, horrified, even. You look so... frightened. Deep in his chest, he feels as though your heart beat is part of him, your thundering pulse. 

He doesn’t like seeing your pretty little face contorted in fear. 

Beelzebub ♥ 

He’s absolutely stoked that he gets to have a workout buddy in the Devildom! I mean, you can’t lift the same amount of weight as he can, because he’s a demon, and huge, and... yeah 

But still, you’re great to have around. He feels a little less hungry when he’s around you, it’s like you ease the pain, the pain of feeling like he’s starving all the time, and the pain of not having Belphie around. 

There’s not much Beelzebub wouldn’t do for you. 

That being said, there’s also not a lot he wouldn’t do for Belphegor, either. 

He’s been awaiting his twin’s return for who knows how long, so when he hears that scream from the attic, he’s confused. He starts to wonder if his mind is playing tricks on him, maybe he’s starting to hear things from being too hungry.  

No. No, there’s no way he could just ‘imagine’ hearing Belphie shriek. He can also feel a little pang in his chest, his heart rate picking up as if he himself were panicked. 

He wastes no time thundering down the hall and up the attic staircase, completely unaware that both Satan and Asmo are hot on his heels. 

He pushes past Mammon with one broad shoulder, staring down at you with Belphie pinned beneath him. 

Something in his head is so confused. Who should he be upset with? Should he be upset at anyone? Why do you look scared? Why is Belphie in his demon form? 

His mind feels like its going through a rinse and spin cycle. 

“...Lucifer. What’s going on?” 

The words roll from his tongue, his tone less of a question and more of a demand, the need to get some answers. 

Belphegor ♥ 

I mean yeah, you looked sort of strong, but he’s literally one of the rulers of hell. Really, his plan should have worked out fine. 

You just opened the attic door and of course, he offers you a hug. How can you protest? After all, he’s just been so nice to you. 

“In any event, MC, all I can do is thank you. Now I can finally achieve what I set out to do!” He says as he sprawls out his arms toward you, a hazy smile on his face. 

Blinded by the joy of finally accomplishing your goal of freeing Belphegor, you accept his hug, melting into his arms.  

“Ah... this really brings back memories. This feeling... I wonder how long it’s been since I’ve touched a human?” 

His comforting embrace starts to sing a different tune, his body suddenly tensing up.  

“So, MC... how can I express how I’m feeling right now? What can I do?” He scowls, his horns sprouting, his tail slowly unfurling and beginning to snake around your leg, his attire changing before your very eyes.  

You feel his cool, slender fingers lace themselves around your neck, his nails digging little crescents into the soft flesh of your throat.  

As your head starts to spin, he cranes his head back a little, letting out a giggle that turns into an open-mouthed cackle, his menacing canines gleaming beneath the dim glow of the attic lights. 

“Heheh... FUCK-” As quickly as his demeanor changed, so did the tables. The tables didn’t just turn, they did a fucking backflip. 

Before he can even get over the rush of adrenaline that clouds his thoughts, you’ve already escaped, scrambling to try and pin him. 

He’s shrieking like a banshee as the two of you tussle, his inner dialog just repeating “what the fuck went wrong” over and over again. 

This couldn’t have gone any worse.

The brothers accidently call MC Lilith (younger brothers)

I'm so sorry this is so late!! I've been swamped with school and work among other things so I didn't have time to properly write a fic!! I will try to be active more...

Just a thought, I might also write Enstars content...What do y'all think? 👀

I'm sorry if this is short!

Please forgive me if the characters are OOC, I'm still a beginner writer and constructive feedback would be much appreciated!

TW: Mild spoilers, references to lesson 16, OOC characters?

---

Asmodeus

Honestly, I don't see this happening unless something happens to get him thinking about Lilith (aka the lesson 16 incident when I think it's most likely).

If it does happen, he would immediately correct his mistake and get on with whatever he was saying.

"So, did you hear what was going on with that succubus today?! She was TOTALLY out of control! First, she was like, an HOUR late to class, and then, she just roasted the professor left and right! Satan was in her class, he told me, and oh boy, you should have seen him Lilith- Oops, sorry MC hun,-He was seething mad!" <- kinda like this.

If you didn't mind it much, he would be glad and get on with his story.

If you did get offended, however, he would definitely apologize and remind you that even if you are related, Lilith is Lilith and you are you. He wouldn't want the distance between you two to increase, after all, you are his MC, and he loves you and your adorable face to pieces!

Beelzebub

Again, I don't see this happening with Beel too much. You're someone he cherishes deeply, so he makes it a point to remember your tastes.

If something's on his mind and he does get the two of you confused, he's heartbroken and tries to make it up to you in any way possible.

If you didn't care too much about it and forgave him, he would envelop you in a great, big bear hug.

If you did get offended, he would understand your feelings and give you some space until you're ready to talk to him again. He would feel lonely until then, but when you do come back, he'll be waiting.

Belphegor

I'm sorry Belphegor stans, but I feel like Belphie can mistakenly call you Lilith a lot, but no need to worry! He's usually half asleep when he does that.

One thing I find really nice about belphie is that he's the only brother to emphasize the fact that Lilith might've been his sister, but you were irreplaceable to him as well, so he can't mistake the two of you while he is fully awake.

Since this could be a common occurrence, if you did decide to confront him about it, he would, (like everyone else) apologize, but say that he doesn't remember it (as he was half-asleep). He does cherish you a lot though, so if this becomes a common occurrence he'll try his best to differentiate you two, even when he's not completely awake.

[unfriendly-entity]

everyday i think about lesson 16 in obey me and i still wish i had the option to resent belphie for a time and also process??? that i was literally murdered??? like they went “you and belphie r now besties bc you are a distant descendant of his sister!” like no the fuck i am NOT his bestie he literally killed me get this guy off of me can i go process this for like 20 minutes?? gee whiz

[that-one-pretty-bitch]

After lesson 16 MC be like-

MC: What’s up guys? I’m back. Belphie: What the- you can’t be here. You’re dead. I literally JUST killed you. MC: Death is a social construct.

Okay, so we've had pieces of info about their first meeting for a while now, but after collecting everything I could on these two to make my recent posts I was able to put them together and here it is.

First, there are the two times the story was briefly told in Obey Me! SWD, this one being from lesson 53-16 when Asmo discusses his first meeting with Solomon and then asks Barbatos about his:

And this next one being from lesson 49-A when Asmo asks about it for the first time and Solomon doesn't want to tell him:

And we learn what happened in the aftermath from Thirteen when she tells us about it in Obey Me! NB lesson 11-10:

So Solomon risked his life to summon Barbatos using an incantation and was left on the brink of death because of it, all because he "desperately needed his powers to control time", and after their interaction and whatever happened there, Barbatos took him to the Fountain of Knowledge and declared him the new protector of it.

By the way, they didn't make a pact during their first meeting but later on instead, or at least that's what I got from Barbatos saying:

I'm saying this because "eventually" is vague enough to be open to interpretation and could mean that they did make a pact during their first meeting and that it only took some bargaining for Barbatos to agree. But the way I saw it was that the pact was made later on.

So, the questions left unanswered from this are:

1 ) What made Solomon want to control time badly enough for him to seriously risk his life for it?

2 ) Did Barbatos help Solomon by using his powers to control time like he wanted him to?

Because it never says that Barbatos agreed to Solomon's "desperate need", and it doesn't say why Solomon was so desperate for it in the first place, only telling us that there was something he wanted enough to risk death for it.

But it does answer WHY later.

At first I thought we didn't have more info on their first meeting, but then I remembered this little moment from Obey Me! NB ( that I added to my post afterward and here's the screenshot from the post because I was too lazy to open the game and go to the lesson again ):

So Solomon almost died summoning Barbatos because he desperately needed his powers to control time after causing serious destruction to the Human World with his...?

Well, maybe, the passage does say that Barbatos appeared before him and not that he was purposely summoned by him, but it could be that the book is just depicting what people at the time thought happened, since it makes it sound like that was their first meeting when Barbatos himself said that Solomon summoning him was how they first met.

Anyway, let's assume I'm right and that's what happened and the reason why Solomon needed Barbatos was to fix the damage he did to the Human World unintentionally.

THE MAIN THEORY: Solomon summoned Barbatos to save his childhood friend's life, who was affected by Solomon's powers going out of control.

This is something that Solomon tells us in Obey Me! NB lesson 14-16, that he had a friend while he was locked up in the basement as a kid. He tells us the story of how they met and says that from then on the friend started visiting him regularly and that they would chat through the bars of the window basement and that's how their interactions went for however long. But then while telling us about them he suddenly stops:

And thus this became my current theory.

Solomon's powers, which have always vastly surpassed your usual human's, start getting out of control and becomes a threat to the world, endangering one of his loved ones ( much like MC's in S2 with Lucifer ). And desperate to save their life and out of what to do, he summons a demon he knows can control time to help him.

Judging by how Solomon struggles to tell the story to MC though, we can assume that it didn't end well.

Maybe Barbatos refused to save his friend/had no way to do it ( he can only travel through timelines and not actually go back and change the one where he is ) and Solomon had to accept the fact that they were dying and say goodbye and this was the moment when he made this promise to them to become a good sorcerer, learn how to control his powers and protect humanity.

Or maybe Barbatos did try to save them/told Solomon how to do it but it ended badly somehow and that's what brings Solomon pain when he tries to talk about it.

If you’re comfortable doing this ~ could you make a fic where MC makes it clear that they may have accepted Belphie they haven’t forgotten?

Like family meal after the incident, Belphie is all bitchy that things are awkward between him and brothers saying MC has forgiven him and MC says that while they tolerate him they do not like him.

I need someone to acknowledge MCs pain, especially for MC to acknowledge it.

I think about this so much, like they literally glossed over the fact Belphie killed MC and it makes me so mad 😭 I hope you'll like this! ^^

Edit : I just posted part 2 of this <3

Spoilers for Lesson 16!!!!!

You never once thought you'd end up with a fate like this, fate truely is cruel. Thinking a painful death would never happen to you, you failed to see the fact that it didn't matter who you were or what you did with your life; fate will always have it's way with you one way or another. So when the incident occurred, all you could seem to ask yourself was, "Why?"

Even though it's been almost two weeks since the incident, it still felt as if it was only yesterday. Painfully vivid, you remembered exactly how the Avatar of Sloth murdered you in cold blood, the way his tail crushed your throat; forcing you to choke to death on your own blood and his sadistic laughter. A diabolical act done as a form of revenge even though you had genuinely done nothing wrong. While you understood his pain, he directed it as someone who never even hurt him. You forgave him but you didn't forget, you will never forget what he did to you that day. It has haunted you since the moment it took place and you believe it'll terrorize you until the day you die.

So now, here you are at the dinner table with all of the brothers. Everyone decided that it was a good time for the family to finally have the first dinner together where everyone was present, this meant is was your first dinner with Belphie since the incident. You were understandably nervous, hoping that it wouldn't be as awkward as you we're expecting it to be.

Everything was quiet once all the food was set out, even Beel's chewing seemed quieter than usual. Lucifer cleared his throat, "I hope everyone enjoys the food.." Even after what Lucifer's words not a single human or demon spoke, the tension was very visibly chewing away at all of you. "Oh come on... somebody just say something." The silence was once again broken, much to your surprise Belphie was the one who did it. He looked pissed off, he understood why the tension was present; because of what he had done to you not too long ago. "Uhh well, I was thinking of going to Majolish tomorrow, I need some new clothes because my old ones are starting to get a bit worn out." In an attempt to start a conversation you told the brothers about your plans, which had worked for the most part. When almost all of the brothers began to speak, one was still left out, not saying a word. "MC, you should've told me! That way we can go together!" Asmo happily volunteered himself to be your shopping mate which then caused Mammon and him begin to argue about who should go with you.

You smiled to yourself, enjoying the fact the brother's arguing reminded you of two little kids fighting over something miniscule. Something in the corner of your eye caught your attention, next to Beel was his twin who had an irritated expression on his face. You didn't know if you wanted to point it out, afraid that maybe if you do it might just irritate him even more. You began to fidget with your fingers, you truly did want to get on his good side and become friends with him! But after how he brutally murdered you and only accepted you after it was revealed that you were Lillith's descendant if made you feel as if he still hated you but only tolerated you because you were related to Lillith. "Oi, Belphie, MC! The two of you look so down, what's up?" Mammon pointed out your guy's gloomy expressions, when you heard your name your head shot up and without noticing you casted a glance to Belphegor.

While maybe you didn't seem to notice, everyone else in the room did. "Mmm, don't worry about me! I'm alright, I'm just getting a bit-", "Sad?" The dark blue haired demon cut you off, you looked over to Belphie who looked even more pissed off now. "No, no! Just.. tired, that's all." Your eyes returned back to your food, the room had once again gone silent but only for a brief while, "You heard it from them, they're fine so stop thinking they're upset is because of me. MC and I are friends now, they're okay with everything." Those words felt like a stab to the heart, you had never once told him any of those things and now he was putting words in your mouth.

You let out a quiet sigh, "Uhh.. Belphie, I never said that." With a frown on your face you looked your murderer right in the eyes and for once in awhile finally spoke your mind. "I really don't mean this in a bad way, it's just well, that day you really hurt me both mentally and physically. I still have nightmares about what you did, it's like I can't escape it.", once again the tension was back; this time even worse than before. Belphie scowled, "I thought you forgave me, I apologized." The others in the room stopped everything they were doing to listen in on the conversation, they gave it their full attention in fear that maybe Belphegor would attack you again. "Do you think it's easy to go through something like that?! The only reason you guy's accepted me was because I'm Lillith's descendant, I feel like you only treat me well is because you see me as her!" Due to your heavy frustration you unintentionally yelled, in the moment you were so overwhelmed that you didn't pay attention to it. A few of the brothers assured you that they didn't see you as Lillith, but instead your own person but that didn't ease your pain. "It hurt so much! I couldn't even scream for help, I only wanted to help you and you killed me! I saw my own dead body and almost none of you seemed to care!" Tears rolled down your cheeks, you knew you had the right to upset but it felt as if the brother's didn't think the same. "MC..", Beel looked at you with pity and guilt in his eyes, and so did the rest of the brother's. "We're sorry for not being better to you, we truly did treat you horribly." , you cut off Satan, "Shut up, I don't want your apologies! I just want to see genuine change, I want you guys to treat me kindly!" You sat up from your seat, you were conflicted if you wanted to walk away or continue with the conversation. "I've been treating you well ever since then!" Belphie began to argue back a bit more, his tone of voice changed and he too stood up from his seat. "Yeah because you found out I was Lillith's descendant! You strangled me, crushed my throat, and left me to choke to death on my own blood! I haven't healed from what you did to me, you asshole!"

"MC and Belphie, please calm down!" Lucifer attempted to de-escalate the situation but the two of you only shot him annoyed looks. "I'M mad too! I lost my sister—", "I didn't kill your god damn sister! Don't take your anger out on me, I wasn't even alive when she died!" He looked stunned, he knew it was true and also knew it was pointless to counter what you said. Beel grabbed onto Belphie's sleeve, saying his twin's name and trying to sit Belphegor back down. "All of you are vile! You guys have threatened me, attempted to kill me and even killed me! Don't just ignore what you guy's have done!" With your sleeve you wiped off the snot that was running from your nose, you felt like you were a little kid who had just lost something beloved, and in return wept and wept until you were a tear, snot, and drooling mess. Deep down you knew that the "beloved" you had lost was your trust and humanity. You had practically been revived, while you were still human you no longer felt like one. All of your trust in the brother's was gone, they skipped over the issue and acted like nothing happened.

"MC! I demand you head to your room right away, we'll discuss this tomorrow." In all honesty, you were tired. Tired of arguing and crying, you knew it was time to just give it a break and rest. Maybe once everything was solved you might feel a bit more at home in Devildom, you truly hoped that would be the case.

It's his destiny

I’m too shy to request from anyone so if anyone sees this and wanna do something with it feel free and tag me BUT

I am the youngest sibling and I am the only sister to brothers who spoil me so how would the demon brothers feel knowing that MC plays the same role in the family dynamic as Lilith and was killed by the ones who were supposed to take care of them just as Lilith was killed by the angels like how would this make them feel

VERY MINOR LESSON 16 SPOILERS

“Want a hug?” Simple words. Nothing mean or hostile about the inflection, but it sends a jolt of fear through your very core.

You scramble away from Belphegor, and back up right into Satan’s arms. He’d been walking over to sit near you, and the timing worked out, so that you bumped into him.

“Huh?” Satan’s hands ghost over your sides. He’s holding you, but leaving an out to run away.

“Y/N? What’s wrong?” Belphie tilts his head innocently. Those violet eyes of his innocent as a lamb’s.

Murderer.

You want to scream, but all you manage is a whimper.

You turn your face into Satan’s chest and pray he will hold you close and not let him get to you. Please, keep Belphegor away.

Satan’s hardly confused, half expected you snapping like this at some point. He saw the shock sink on that first night, the night you died. He saw the signs, the flinching, the change in appetite, he saw you.

And he holds you close.

“Belphegor, please leave.” It sounds polite, almost. The way Satan forms the words, like he’s speaking to an unruly stranger rather than his brother.

“But-.” Belphegor's protest falls short.

“Leave.” Satan’s chest rumbles against your face.

Smart, safe Satan. You had been so dumb.

It takes a minute to realize that Satan is calling your name. With your heartbeat so loud in your ears the outside world had faded so far.

“Hm?” It’s a choked, restrained sound. Weak.

“Are you doing alright?” Satan’s hand smooths over your head, petting your hair down comfortingly.

“I- I don’t know what came over me there… I should— I need to apologize…”

“You don’t need to do anything.” Satan disagrees, a frown heavy in his voice. “Let us both calm down for a bit. We can discuss what happened later when we both have clearer heads.”
