not satan catching strays for beel's stomach 😭 poor baby

also this is very telling of how early into the nb story this is...i feel like everyone knows what beel's stomach sounds like by now, and satan wouldn't have snapped the way he did if it were later on in the timeline

so solomon's food must be AWFUL for beel to not even have a physical reaction to how bad it is. like if this peanut butter sandwich made him flip his shit, how poisonous is solomon's cooking ???

imagine this is solomon's cooking, but since it's on a smaller scale, it's not as bad

have we seen this happen before ?? i don't remember this ever happening. since when could he do that ????

...am i stupid or did he turn into ham. where did the ham come from. and where did barbatos go.

also ik this is supposed to be beel centric but there's literally no beel here ??? i'm kinda sad but whatever

the image in my head of them tossing the ham back and forth petrified is hilarious 😭 and then diavolo came in giggling like it's a game and it WORKING ??? no way that's all they had to do to calm him down

i still think it was solomon's. nobody else would do some shit like that

IT WAS SOLOMON'S

also drowning satan is INSANE behavior 😭 made him bob for apples in the middle of the RAD garden and everyone had to act like it was normal ???

[distressed-devilsitter]

So, it looks like a "mysterious force" 90% sure it's Barbatos pulled us into the past. We just...vanished.

Can you imagine the panic? The sheer terror when the pact was severed?

Mammon clawing at himself, trying to soothe this deep ache in his chest. Leviathan, with a deep-seeding anxiety in his gut, pacing in his room. Satan raging, turning the Devildom upside down to find you. Asmo calling all of his friends and fan club members, trying to identify the last person who saw you. Beel and Belphie venturing into town, calling your name, before discovering your cracked D.D.D. in an alleyway.

And, worst of all, that vauge sense of unease Lucifer has, before someone confirms his worst fears?

...now I have to write this.

[impish-ivy]

This scene! <3

We get protective older brother Mammon and protective Solomon!

[lordiavolo]

THEY FUCKING KILLED HIM

[rashomonss]

Readjusting

context: just a few somewhat angsty headcanons I have for when MC and Solomon return to the present after everything, enjoy!!

warnings: this does contain nightbringer spoilers

the past changes people

MC will often become more hesitant to talk to or even engage with the brothers. Due to being treated as an attendant in the past they now are used to it, so whenever one of the brothers tries to engage with them they find it hard to sit still or listen to said brother for long periods of time without feeling out of place.

MC will often mix up the fact that they are an exchange student rather than an attendant. When Diavolo claims that he wants MC to feel comfortable as an exchange student MC will respond with something along the lines of how they don’t need much because they’re the brothers attendant. Which in return gets a few confusing stares from others.

MC still carries out some of their duties as an attendant unconsciously. Such as keeping track of the brother’s schedules, events, student council meetings, etc. The brothers don’t mind at first however what they do find unpleasant is the fact MC always follows behind them instead of right beside them like they used too. This doesn’t register until one of them says something to MC, which they in turn respond with “I always follow behind all seven of you”. Which makes their hearts sink.

Still focusing on the attendant duties, MC will still continue to carry out anything asked of them without much of a fight. Since they were so used to carrying out such elaborate things when watching over the brothers in the past they are now used to doing such tasks for them. Most of the time this will confuse most of the brothers because MC is usually more vocal with their opinion on something.

MC will unconsciously be a bit harsher and stricter on the brothers than they usually were. Since being their attendant MC had to keep each of them on a tight leash so they wouldn’t get into trouble. So now in the present if they were to start fighting MC would be the first to show up to scold them instead of Lucifer.

MC will just straight up be petty with Lucifer for a while. Due to the things he said while they were in the past they still haven’t completely forgiven him. So whenever Lucifer mentions his “family”, MC finds themselves saying some remark along the lines of “well that doesn’t include me” or “just the seven of you I know. I leave you all alone” is enough to confuse and hurt the hell out of him. MC knows that Lucifer does really care for them in this timeline, but they can’t help it. His words really did hurt them deeply for awhile.

On another topic of MC’s attitude, Diavolo soon realizes that they are much more formal with him. The cute nickname Dia was dropped and he was always referred to by a title now. When Diavolo questioned them about formality MC simply explained that the past Barbatos didn’t like them referring to Diavolo in such a manner.

MC is now more vigilant around Satan, Belphegor and Barbatos, each for different reasons.

Satan is one that worries MC the most because they became used to having to deal with his violent outbursts and destructive episodes. So when Satan gets angry in the present MC will step in front of him and the brothers separating them. Satan soon grows confused when MC prepares a spell to restrain him.

Belphegor doesn’t worry MC as much as the other two, but after he found out they were a human in the past and tried to kill them again in response MC had to remain vigilant. They still do whenever they are alone with him. Which in turn makes the youngest guilty about the past.

Barbatos is someone MC keeps Solomon away from at all costs. After all MC was used to Barbatos teleporting the sorcerer around from place to place. It did become concerning when Solomon would show up later and later each time he came home. So to avoid that MC would make themselves and Solomon avoid the butler at all costs. However the present butler soon finds this behavior hurtful when MC constantly declines his offer to come over. In the end MC has a hard time remembering that this isn’t the past Barbatos.

Many soon noticed the strong bond MC now has with Solomon and of course they all become jealous. At first they noticed how MC would go to him for little things, or just prefer to be around him more, but when they asked about moving in with him rather than staying in the House of Lamentation it threw everyone for a loop. It made it even worse when MC said they’ll be there to help the brothers every morning like usual. They wanted MC to realize that they’re an exchange student not an attendant.

Many also notice how reliant they are on Solomon for certain things. Sometimes MC just needs Solomons presence in a room to be able to feel comfortable. If not MC will then become slightly annoyed or fidgety.

Solomon becomes more protective over MC without even realizing it. If he believes one of the brothers are being too bothersome to MC he will step in and whisk them away.

Solomon finds it easier to steal MC’s attention away now. Before when he would try and drag them away from the brothers, or even try and steal their attention for just a second it always failed. However with how close they both became in the past, if Solomon interrupts a conversation MC is having with the brothers MC finds themselves listening to him a bit more than the brother they were speaking with.

MC is much more reckless and blunt with their decision making now. Before they were a bit more collected with their thoughts. However being in the past made their impulsive decision making become a habit. Thus causing the brothers to sometimes question MC methods.

MC would often question the brothers as to why they weren’t in their demon forms. They suppose they just got used to seeing them in those outfits for so long now it became the norm.

[moinstar]

"But to hear that little demon say something like that to me, while hoping to hold me captive... it was just so adorable, you see."

[devildomditzy]

i like how at the beginning of the game Solomon says he “decided to follow you” all casually as if he didn’t have seven guns pointed at his head

[dustyforeskin]

I love MC's unrelenting commitment to chaos

[simeons-hips]

“fuck it we ball” vs “aight let’s head out”

[astaroth1357]

It Must Be Done (Chat Spoilers for NB):

MC: ..... *sets down their phone*

MC: I know what I must do.

*one hour later in the House of Lamentation, Mammon walks up the stairs to go get Satan for dinner, just to find their attendant already waiting outside of the fourthborn's door... putting on a bike helmet?*

Mammon: *walks up beside them, frowning* Eh? MC? Is that a helmet?

MC: *locks in the straps and makes sure they're secure*

MC: Yep.

Mammon: .... Okaaaaay? Are ya goin' cyclin' or....?

MC: Nope.

*the MC brings their hand up and bangs it against Satan's door before jogging to the far wall. They take just a few seconds to stop, flip around, and get into a running stance*

Mammon: What the hell are ya-??

*Satan swings open his door with a look of growing annoyance, prompting MC to start sprinting straight at him*

Satan: Huh??

*The blonde barely has time to process to what's happening before the MC goes airborne and careens head first into his chest, rocketing them both back into his bedroom*

Mammon: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!

*Mammon runs through the doorway and finds Satan sprawled out flat on his back with MC half on top of him, dazed. MC sits up and rubs their neck while he remains still*

MC: Ooooww... that hurt.... I told you it was dangerous.

Mammon: MC, why did you do that?! Are you insane?!? Get outta there he's gonna-!! He's...! gonna.....?

*Mammon watches in disbelief as Satan not only stays still, but slowly gets redder and redder from the tips of his ears down to his cheeks. Eventually he has to resort to masking his face behind his hands entirely while MC triumphantly grins*

MC: Was that what you wanted~?

Satan: *finally sits up, unable to look them in eye*

Satan: Please don't do that again...

Mammon: *watches the scene, getting more confused by the second* .... Y'all are weird. Come downstairs and eat already!

[nocreativityfornames]

After finally seeing the way Solomon's pact with Asmo was made, I'm thinking this man is SO lucky to be immortal. Because with how protective the brothers are over each other ( especially Lucifer ), I can perfectly imagine them getting together to go straight up murder him after Asmo tells them what happened.

It's no wonder Lucifer despises this man, his first introduction to Solomon ( in the og timeline ) was probably Asmo telling him and the brothers that he had gotten a pact with him while completely drunk and out of his mind. Or in other words, he had been manipulated into giving someone complete control over him while not even being in a state where he could give proper consent.

And going back to what Lucifer told us when Solomon first made an appearance in omswd, you can see his clear resentment towards him:

What he's basically saying is that Solomon is the type who'll do ANYTHING to get into a pact with a demon if he has the opportunity to do so.

And remember, this is one of the dialogues you get when you give Lucifer a certain item in the PRESENT ( sure, he says "before" and we don't know how long ago it was, but it was for sure after the whole thing with Asmo ).

( the credits to this image go to @boozye, by the way )

And that combined with his behavior when telling this story of how he met Asmo on two separate occasions, you can see he feels no remorse at all, to the point where he's laughing at Asmo's reaction to waking up and finding out he had basically signed away his freedom to a random stranger.

And when we show disapproval over this, he basically brushes it off as: "that's the way you're usually supposed to treat demons"?? Like... WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, SOLOMON???

And the way he says this feels so icky, he's talking about demons like they're nothing but toys, something he can use and do whatever he wants with it.

And maybe I'm reaching by bringing this up, but this is literally how the devs chose to describe the way Solomon views the brothers:

( credits to the image: @enbyobeyme )

And going back to the Lucifer thing, I wonder how he feels about Solomon being the only one who was able to follow MC into the past. Because as much as he has grown more tolerating of Solomon over the course of the game, I sure as hell wouldn't consider them friends.

This isn't a Solomon hate post by the way, I love his character and how complex he is, I've just been holding off till we got the full story from him to post this.

Also, I made a follow-up post to this, if y'all wanna check it.

[onyourowndaisymae]

as much as solmare has been slipping lately i have to say i am absolutely in love with the way they've written asmodeus in nightbringer. the new game has breathed so much life into his character and i am so obsessed. asmodeus getting so drunk that he gets tricked into a pact because he had someone he loved, like genuinely gave a shit about, ripped away from him and he drank until he was wailing in public. asmodeus being fond of angels even after they all fell, holding little ill will for their past. asmodeus genuinely fearing that one day he'll grow comfortable with being a demon and he'll be unrecognizable to himself. asmodeus being friendly towards satan, even when the rest of the house is terrified of him, and going out of his way to make his brother feel included. nightbringer has been giving us such amazing asmodeus content and i will never ever shut up about it

[melverie]

Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE how ever since they all found out that MC is human and was brought here against their will, it was Lucifer who kept insisting that they shouldn't be the ones to trap MC in the Devildom. That whether they want to stay or not is a decision MC has to make themself and that the brothers should support them no matter what they end up choosing

And now that the moment is finally here, now that MC has confirmed that they indeed plan on heading home, and now that all of his brothers agreed on helping them get back, having forged a pact and lending their powers to do so—

Now that he knows that he's the final piece needed to send them back; that the lingering idea of the yet to be forged pact between them is what's stopping MC from potentially leaving their side for good, leaving his side for good—

Now that they have finally gotten to this point, he realizes something. And he's unable to live with it

And so, he goes back on his word.

He's taking that choice from them.

"I don't want to."

Lucifer's pride is what keeps his voice leveled and neutral, as if it were just another day. As if he everything was completely fine. As if he didn't feel this pain in his heart, almost as if someone had rammed a dagger through his chest over and over and over again

To most people, he'd appear to be in perfect control of his emotions—if only his gaze wouldn't completely obliterated that frail façade of his. The way his beautiful dark eyes shimmering with a hint of blood red silently plead, beg MC to stay...

Internally, he is breaking apart because he knows what he is doing isn't right. He knows that he shouldn't trap them like a bird in a cage, and yet he can't help himself. Not in this situation. Not when it comes to MC

'No'

He—Lucifer, Avatar of Pride himself—is the last thing trapping the very person that finally made him realize what his sister had meant forever ago

'I won't let you go'

How one day, someone would stumble their way into his life, and how he'd love them so wholeheartedly and so deeply that everything else would become trivial as long as he'd get to hold them in his arms

'I can't let you go'

Someone that he'd happily throw away everything for, not even considering any alternatives if only for the shred of a chance at just one last tomorrow with them

'Please stay with us. Please stay with me'

Everything.

'I cannot lose you, MC'

Even if they'll never forgive him for it.

"I'm not going to forge a pact with MC."
