the fact that crowley stopped jim from jumping out the window the moment it was clear that jim was not just gabriel fucking with everyone is so personal to me. because:
“okay, i know you’re testing them, you said you were going to be testing them. you shouldn’t test them to destruction.”
crowley was never going to let him jump out that window, he just needed to push him far enough to be sure it wasn’t gabriel.

Interesting thing I’ve noticed is that Alastor has parallels and contrasts to all three members of the Morningstar family.
Charlie’s the obvious one, they’re business partners and co-owners of the hotel. They do the same work but for different reasons–Charlie out of a genuine desire to help people out of bad situations and Alastor presumably to help himself out of his own. They share a similar color scheme and formal dress, and they’ve been described as having a shared sense of humor.
Lucifer is the Sin of Pride, and it’s undeniable that Alastor has that in spades. They’re clearly meant to visually parallel each other, as their outfits are incredibly similar with a couple of inversions (Alastor’s white outline with stripes on his red overcoat vs Lucifer’s red outline with stripes on his white shirt). As are their powers–Lucifer is associated with light, while Alastor seems to wield shadows. You can also notice that Lucifer’s hands in his full demonic form are identical to Alastor’s, black with red claws/tips.
They’re both attempting to influence Charlie as a father/mentor, Lucifer out of love and Alastor again out of his own desire for freedom. A stag is also a historical representation of Christ (and I will be covering Alastor’s multiple parallels to Jesus in a later post, I’m completely serious), and Lucifer is, well, the Devil from the Bible, which fits with their instant hatred of each other.
NOW LILITH. LET ME TALK ABOUT LILITH.
We don’t know a lot about her, and what we do know may be told by an unreliable narrator. BUT if we go at least by the broad strokes of Charlie’s opening story, we know that she:
1. Thrived in Hell via broadcasting her voice to the masses
2. Was highly ambitious and danced to her own tune
3. Despises submitting to anyone. (I.e. Adam, and just look at the dirty glare she gives Lute.)
And now, as we see in the finale, she’s currently (possibly trapped) in a deal with a greater power.
Sound familiar?

Giving up to peer pressure (and by that I mean @tomasitaoficial 's)
My personal interpretation of
King Asmodeus
Prince of Lust, Lord of sex demons, Nephillim, Amaymon's protégé, unofficial representation of Wrath and Sloth.
Each head expresses the extreme version of his current state of mind;
The Bull is wrath, desperation, impotence and other similar emotions. It tends to express the King's honest and brutal opinion on things and is the most comfrontational. It's mouth is hot as lava and can even spit fire.
The Ram is depression, hopelesness, compliance and nihilism. This head shows Asmodeus' more grounded, although pessimistic, views. It tends to defuse conflict, even through self destructing ways to lower tensions. Of course, it's also a big yes-man. It's mouth is ice cold like a corpse.
The human head is mostly a mystery, it has been dormant for a long time. It used to be awake in Ozzie's youth, but at some point after being caged in Hell, it's consciousness seemed to fade away. Ozzie's top clients say it's mouth is barely warm but soft enough to get the job done.
