I just noticed Mephisto matches with Barbatos (who is matchy with Diavolo) in the anniversary outfits in his SSR memory card
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These three were also the only three who had half masks in the masquerade event!!!
Anyway, The Royals with Mephisto chat group when? We got one for Purgatory Hall with Raphael..... it's just fair !!
And one for Mephisto and Diavolo as well, but also one for Mephisto and Barbatos too. because you can't tell me their relationship isn't deeper than the devs portray when Mephisto has lines like this about Barbatos's room:
Tumblr media
#also obviously chat groups like thirteen + solomon or thirteen + barbatos (+ solomon) as well!!!#but i was pointing this out teehee#..........................Anyway I feel like if I were going to make a meta post about Barbatos at this point#it would definitely involve his biggest flaw being his past self-isolation#+ diavolo being the one to break it (and later mc) means he prioritizes diavolo(+mc) over everything/one else#and it's very clear he has difficulty getting close to people#i usually think it's funny tbh#but i think the context it makes me the saddest in where i'm like... momma go to therapy....#is the obvious distance between him and mephisto despite being around as an adult in both his + diavolo's childhoods#while mephisto was being groomed to be diavolo's protector or whatever#i just feel like there's so much room to develop these threes' relationships#but the devs just don't want to do it because it interferes with the brothers getting all the screen time for no reason#+ how they only seem to want to make jokes about mephisto and diavolo's relationship 90% of the time#also just saying..... this being a flaw of barbatos's is also a reason i want him to interact with thirteen more#+ to know more about their relationship#because frankly she is a LOT like that too what with how she opens up exclusively to mc#......................... sowwy about the tag rant#i am simply cherishing and holding them autism style.#obey me barbatos#obey me mephistopheles#obey me diavolo#obey me#obey me nightbringer#obey me shall we date

The shit I see sometimes on this website, i swear.
Tumblr media
I speak spanish. I was born in spanish. I breathe and taste in spanish. I know spanish.
Something dies inside of me every time I read a fic clearly made by an english speaker trying to (re)create a hispanic character. It isn't about the differences between latino and castellano anymore; you can tell when a fic was made with Google translate.
And somehow most of these fics are smut.
Why? It's very cringey, so why??

For those who are unsure of whether or not they really have the "sensitivity to cold" symptom of fibromyalgia, because you think that it's just you not being able to handle colder temperatures like other people, that's one way of putting it. The other way is, when it's winter and the temperatures start dropping, do you feel your pain more intensely? Do you feel like you have more problems with your joints? Is your partner always commenting how cold your fingers and toes are, but it somehow gets more frequent in winter? Those are other ways to consider being sensitive to the cold.

Source (guys, GUYS, it's her CN VA!!!). Oh my god, I'm feelings things. Literally yesterday, I was complaining in the tags on one of Kafka's posts how characters like Yelan are so incredibly subjected to being reduced to just a specific trait or two if most. And then I wake up to her Chinese VA having gotten people together to make this entire ode for Yelan's birthday, and it's gorgeous. The sheer passion she must have to have for the character as to have gotten this made, makes up for everything. It's passion, guys, passion will get me every single time. God, I'm going to have so much to analyze in this thing alone. AaaaAAAAAa. God, some have already translated a few lines, but I'm waiting on people getting the whole thing. But I just, happy birthday, my beloved Yelan who I'll never let go of.
Also, I'm sure this translation isn't perfect, but I managed to scrape together a little translation of part of the VA's description for the video on her Bilibili and it warms my heart:
"When I came up with the idea of "making a song for Night Orchid", I struggled with several options, and finally decided to make a piece with a national style tone, with Night Orchid's unique style, and hoping to incorporate elements of opera (a little personal preference). The character of Night Orchid especially poked me, and I wanted to express her backstory through the song, so I chose a more narrative theme, dividing the "past" and "present" of Night Orchid with the acquisition of the God's Eye (Vision)."

So you have an au about damen being abusive with laurent ?????
Please let me know more?? Any hcs or thoughts or anything pls
The capri fandom needs some dark aus fr
~🦌🌺
hello my darling!
I've been gone so long that I have no idea when you sent this and I'm deeply sorry for that!
I came up with the idea for an AU in which Damen's abusive way back in 2019/2020 (2021?) and to say I was a different person altogether back then is an understatement. I also haven't re-read the books in a long while so I can't say I recall everything I had imagined for this fic to begin with BUT!, I've got some fuzzy thoughts stored in the back of my mind that may satisfy some of the crave for Dark Damianos (a concept deeply slept on in my honest opinion but with how much people like to hate on him for free, it's best if we keep it sleeping lol).
DISCLAIMER: in my very private opinion, Damen has a natural darkness to his character that I find appealing (or would be appealing if I wasn't a coward) to explore. Those are the lenses through which I approach the abusive patterns he could come to develop in a relationship with an already emotionally/psychologically vulnerable Laurent. And also in my very private opinion, Laurent is a vulnerable character (for all reasons we as a fandom dwelled on to the point of exhaustion, but, most of all, in relation to how he sees and thinks of Damen — in terms not only of admiration but almost adoration, just as he did with his brother).
We all rememeber the scene at the end (?) of PG when Laurent is stepping on Damen's toes by saying bad things regarding his family and how Damen loses his temper and hits Laurent hard enough to draw blood. The guards step in to arrest Damen for hurting the prince and Damen takes full blame for doing it without showing a single bit of remorse whatsoever. Laurent is the one to talk his guards down from arresting Damen by pinning the blame of being assaulted on himself and that is it.
This idea (of an AU that never came to be) was forged mostly on the side of Damen's character that has a tendency to jump believe he is always right in the assessments he makes and proceed to never question the truth behind his own reasoning. And on the side of Laurent's character that always blames himself for every bad thing that has ever happened to him despite his own helplessness, and nurtures an unhealthy need for a role model to hold on to — once his brother, now his lover.
I'm going to leave all my thoughts for this AU bellow the cut, in case some people may find the matter too upsetting to read about. Trigger warnings for domestic, physical and psychological abuse, obviously! Proceed at your own accord and don't come whinning later🫰
so putting two and two together:
Damen is prone to angry outbursts or just violence in general. We see in more than one occasion that it doesn't take much for his 'bad side' to come out, which is a characteristic a lot of aggressors in this very patriarcal society we live in also showcase. And as their universe is ALSO incredibly patriarcal, this would check out.
As aforementioned, one of the most significative intances of Damen's violence is the day (after he had already slept with Laurent, after he admitted to himself he was in love with Laurent) where he he baits into Laurent's provocations and hits him.
Laurent's edge, I personally believe, though attenuated as it may be by the end of the cicle of abuse he endured all the way from his late childhood throughout his adolescence, will continue to be in place. It was wired into him as a survival mechanisms and old habits die hard. Whenever he is overwhelmed or any of his emotions slip from his iron-cast grip, he will likely spit fire and try and hurt whoever is within his reach.
Honeymoon phase being over, let's say the kingdoms were in fact merged (not going to get into any of that). Let's say Damen is the king of Vere as much as Laurent is the king of Akielos. Let's say their troups, their guards, palace servants — they are all unbiased and answer to both Laurent and Damen as their true kings equally.
Let's say Damen and Laurent continue to get at each other's throats. Lets's say they still got plenty to disagree upon and that their personalities continue to make them butt heads. Let's say their grudges, though they have agreed to leave the past be in the past, hold and come up again. An underlying resentment inate to their love. There's a lot of tension that I can see surrounding L/D's relationship. If you don't believe that it's fine, if you don't see it, that's more than okay. But I'm asking you to bear with me here.
They are having a heated argument in their palace about something that wasn't (shouldn't be) personal, but all of a sudden is. Damen says something that offsets a chain reaction in Laurent and he becomes a boy in selfdefense mode resorting to the good old habit of pushing Damen's weak spots just for the pleasure of making him angry and miserable. Damen has had a long day, he is weary, he is fed-up with all the kyroi, all the councelors making demands and telling him how to do his job. Laurent says the wrong thing at the wrong time and a moment later he is on the floor, with his hand on his cheek touching the burning spot where Damen slapped him. He bit his tongue in the impact and he can feel the blood in his mouth which he swallows.
There are no guards that come in this time, because they know better than to step into their king's quarrels. Damen tells himself it was Laurent who pushed him too far, he didn't mean to do it. Laurent agrees — Damen would never have done that if Laurent himself hadn't asked for it. Damen was good. He's only ever been good. He doesn't do anything without a good reason. Laurent is the one who fucks things up and pushes people too far. They make up.
Next time isn't that different. Nerves were high for a thousand different reasons. Laurent maybe got up from the wrong side of the bed. They argue. Damen pisses him off so he goes on to piss him off in return — just to give him a taste of what that feels like. In the back of his mind he remembers what happened last time they argued but he brushes it off as a mistake. Damen wouldn't dare to make the same mistake twice.
Then Damen does. And just like the other time Laurent loses his footing from the strength of the blow. His eyes tear from the pain but they don't fall. Damen is fumming over him, telling him how Laurent pushes him over the edge. Damen, who is such a just, charming, fair king. A much better king than Laurent is, with his head in place at all times in a way Laurent's own never is. If he lost his temper, it was because he was forced into it.
Laurent is the one who went too far again; Damen simply reacted to it. He stands and tells Damen he was wrong for saying the things he said. He shouldn't have. Damen agrees; Laurent shouldn't have. They make up.
Every time Damen is forced to loose his temper with Laurent he get angrier with Laurent and becomes a little wilder. Laurent should not make him keep doing it! He doesn't mean to do it! When the anger subdues, after they make love, in the morning after, Damen shows Laurent the tokens of the love he still has for him — a new mare of an excellent breed for Laurent's private stables, a new imported book he would like for his personal library, a new delicacy their cooks learns to make as sweet as a human can handle just the way Laurent likes it.
Damen is a good lover. Most of the time. If only Laurent stopped bringing out his bad side.
Laurent understands how every time Damen hits him it's his own fault. He tries to stop himself from causing their arguments but he can't. He always ends up saying the wrong thing, he always disappoints Damen somehow and though he can keep his stance straight and his face void, deep down he's terrified he will eventually drive Damen away.
After the loss of his entire family, after the death of Auguste, of living so many years under the sadistic regime of his uncle, Damen is everything Laurent has. And Laurent, warped as he is by nature, tainted and wrong and bad at his very core, doesn't deserve him. He knows he doesn't deserve Damen, who is so honorable, so good a leader, so righteous and mighty. But he wants Damen and he wants him to stay. He wants to be good for him and for Damen to think he is good.
So when the slapping evolves into punching, Laurent searches his own words, his own actions for where the fault lies. And always he finds it. The exact word he said in a meeting with their kiroi and councelors that undermined Damen's authority. The exact moment he stopped to speak with an ill-intentioned courtier who flirted with him and he must have unintentionally flirted back. The provokation implied in a comment he thought was innocuous. And the fact Damen only found more and more of reasons to be dissatisfied with Laurent, despite him becoming evermore self-aware and trying so hard, so much of the time, to please Damen, meant nothing more than the fact that Laurent was a man full of flaws. It wasn't on Damen.
They both agree Damen's assessment and his morals could never be wrong. He is too good and honest a man for that. Laurent is causing all of it.
The oldest members of their guards notice the slow, steady shift. Those that used to compose the old Veretian prince's guard are worried. They whisper among themselves when they see a new bruise blooming in their king's fair skin or hear the shouts coming from inside the royal chambers. But no one dares to raise a voice against king Damianos. Jord or Lazar (or whichever of the prince's guards you like best) goes to Laurent to raise their concerns and ask if everything is all right between him and Exalted. If there is anything Laurent needs. Anything at all. They will stand by him come what will. But Laurent berates them and tells them to keep their noses out of royal business.
Damen is approached by Nikandros and inquired about it when one day Damen unintentionally leaves Laurent with a black eye. Damen finds that is the perfect opportunity to lament about all the ways Laurent has been driving him insane and making him miserable. That he is getting worse with time where Damen had hoped he would have settled and his temperament improved. That years after the events they lived through, he keeps holding Damen accountable for things that should be left in the past. That Damen doesn't blame Laurent for killing Kastor, or torturing him in Vere anymore, so why should Laurent still resent him for Auguste.
Nikandros understands. He feels sorry for Damen, that Laurent makes his life so difficult. He has witnessed their quarrels before, had seen the way Laurent evokes Auguste's name as a dagger to dig into Damen's heart.
Then it becomes common knowledge all around their court: Laurent is as unbearable and hard to reconcile with as he'd ever been, prideful and resentful and cruel. And Damen is the poor man who has to handle him atop a whole kingdom he has to rule. There is no soul in their kingdom that doesn't feel bad for Damen's situation.
What no one seems to notice is that Laurent has taken to flinch whenever Damen lifts his hand. That he tenses when he raises his voice. That he is much more succint and careful with his words whenever Damen is around, because he doesn't want to upset him.
All they notice is Laurent's worsening moods. His renewed bouts of broodiness and anger. That he takes anything and everything out on everyone — the servants, the guards, officials, nobles of the court, the walls and the furniture. Nothing seems to please him anymore. Everything sets off his rage. Which is something else Damen has taken to punish him for, in the privacy of their chambers.
Laurent never cries. Not when Damen tell him how difficult he is, how impossible he makes to love him. Not when he sees the several shades of new and healing bruises all over his body, not when he gulps mouthfuls of his own blood. Laurent hasn't cried since he was thirteen. But he gets more and more hopeless each day that passes and he is proven again no good man could ever truly love him because nothing good and pure remains so in his presence.
Laurent always brings out the worse in people, no matter how he tries to get things right.
But he keeps on trying. Because maybe one day he can. And maybe Damen will see there is good left in him to love even though he makes his life hard and harder every day. And maybe one day Damen will love him easily.
Because all he really wants is to be worth it of Damen's love.
And that's all Damen wants too. He already loves Laurent so much. He would never, ever hurt him again if only Laurent would stop provoking him into it.

Rika's Appearance in The Ssum (June's Route Day 36 Spoiler)
Yeah... honestly I'm already suspicious of her intention the moment she mentioned about wanting to come to his atelier. I'm gonna assume that this is during her initial stage of creating Mint Eye ideals and all that.
And Cheritz, for goodness sake, you will never catch me saying V and Rika has a good personality or make a good couple etc. Nope, never. So stop forcing these options into my face please. 😩

I do think Piu Piu's analysis is interesting as well. Especially if you're already familiar with MysMe lore.

Pregnancy with multiples, but for each baby you remain pregnant for longer?
good good shit right here. i don't know of anyone ever remembered the meme where someone was very confused about human gestation and said something along the lines "wait if you're pregnant with twins then you're pregnant for eighteen months?!"
except it really happens so if you manage to have twins the first one is born at nine months then the second comes nine months later. though for me i personally don't believe i would have any more than three in this situation because that is roughly 36 months of carrying babies, giving birth three times, and having a belly the entire time while caring for newborns and toddlers. that is three years of my life being nothing but pregnant. fantasy is fantasy but if that were real life i would probably go crazy
though if we talk about consecutive pregnancy where you can still potentially get pregnant with another fetus and deal with having fetuses of different gestation sizes is also very very good

Imagine coddling Homelander.
Like he has had the shittiest of shitty days and he is going off on a tangent, pacing the room cursing and raising his voice. He's frustrated and angry and fed up with the shit he deals with.
You, in your ultimate wisdom of your beloved, stand up and walk towards him. He stops pacing to look at you, clearly a little confused. Before he can ask you reach up and cup both sides of his face and coo at him. "My poor baby boy, so upset, so angry. Look at you." You are using a tone very similar to a mother with her child.
His anger seems to subside almost instantly, his pupils blow out and you feel the weight of him leaning his face immediately into your palms. He's nearly melted to the floor.~
and it would work every! single! time! AUGH. please, i could read 50k of just 'homelander is tenderly snuggled and soothed of all his trauma.'

One time I made golden syrup to use for something I was baking. I used up a bit, but I accidentally made way too much, so I sealed it up nice and tight and put it away in a dark, empty cupboard where nothing could destroy it.
Flash forward a month later, I get the jar out to use for something else and there's an ocean of ants drowning in it. Turns out there was a tiny crack in the jar and all the ants sniffed out the sweet sugary syrup and came out from god-knows-where and let all nine circles of hell loose on their bounty, only to be mummified alive in amber treacle-y hell.
Some part of me finds it pretty tragic that ants, small enough to dodge radiation, resilient, loyal, strong, these wonderful, overall near-invincible creatures-
Yeah, some part of me finds it pretty tragic that they managed to squeeze into the tiniest crack in the impenetrable wall guarding their treasure and rushed in to claim their bounty, only to be defeated by a trap spun from liquified sugar and human ambition.
I don't know if I identity more with the jar or the ants (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

this is still my scenario of what happens if we can see mammon again
mc back from nightbringer timeline mc's gender is not mentioned; can be read as platonic or romantic.
Tumblr media
“Poof”
You turned around and there he was, your first demon, your first demon, your first demon, Mammon.
He didn’t change a lot. You didn’t know how long you’d gone, but Mammon looked the same when you suddenly disappeared. His white hair was still a little bit messy as always, the same black T-shirt that he always left in your room, his leather jacket seemed new - he probably just bought it, his boots were muddy - he just came back. The shopping bags were scattered around his feet (this was where the sound came from). How much did he make when you were gone, you thought to yourself, but it must have been a good amount. Your look stopped at his face, he was wearing very familiar sunglasses - it was a gift from you, you were pretty sure - you bought it for him when he lost his old one; but through the sunglasses, you could still see him looking haggard, tired, desperate and now surprised - which broke your heart in million pieces.
There you were, disappearing for how much time who knows, and suddenly coming back, standing in the middle of the living room, looking at him with two swollen eyes and a smile. There he was, still so shocked that he couldn’t say a word or move an inch. Am I hallucinating, Mammon thought to himself. But you looked so real and he was not high, or drunk. He was completely sober.
He didn’t have to think twice or he didn’t need any testimony to prove that you were real. Mammon could feel your pact with him started to reform and reconnect, Mammon could hear your heart beating loud and fast, Mammon could see your face covered in tears, and he could see him, himself reflecting in your eyes.
He could see his reflection in your eyes and you could see your reflection in his shiny blue eyes, and somehow, it was enough.
“Hey Mammon, I’m so happy to see you again.”
“You idiot human.”

Accidental Confessions
Characters- All except Luke
Gn!Reader
Warnings- Swearing, mentions of demons being horny, confident and vaguely flirtatious MC [I’m sorry, didn’t know how to write this completely without that characterization], suggestive themes
Category- Headcanons
Lucifer
Lucifer tends to write feelings down while in the comfort of his study, an old vinyl playing. It’s how he copes with feelings, by getting them out and keeping them in a leather-bound notebook, deep in his desk. 
He manages to forget that he put in a different drawer on that one damned day, when he had to ask you to get the paperwork for your stay.
You were taking a little too long, and when he went to check on you, he found you standing with the notebook in your hands, a shell-shocked look on your face as you flipped through.
haha fuck
he could feel his face heating as you carefully, almost reverentially put the book down and walked over to him.
“Luci . . .” Lucifer flushed deeper, not bothering to make excuses. He wasn’t about to make any more of a fool of himself.
“I apologize, I didn’t mean for you to see that-” you cut him off with a tight hug, tangling your fingers in his hair.
“It’s fine. I mean, obviously we need to talk about it, but it’s not like I mind.”
Lucifer nodded into your shoulder, hesitantly bringing his arms up. that was fine. anything was fine, as long as you didn’t hate him. He could handle it. 
Mammon
He’s got a little bit of a habit of talking to Goldie and also his wall, he was without Goldie for a while after all, about anything and everything.
Some could call it unfortunate that you walked in towards the end of his rant about Lucifer, and towards the beginning of the one where he was yelling about how he “likes yer stupid pretty face and yer way too fuckin nice to everyone and it’s gonna get ya killed and then he’s gonna get killed.”
You lean on the door for a bit, waiting for him to notice you and taking in his tirade in the meantime. When he does notice you, he turns bright red, spluttering denials and excuses about how he was practicing for a play or talking to Goldie, just that that’s it, until you make it clear you’re unconvinced.
“It’s fine if you think I’m, what was the phrase again? Oh yeah, ‘ridiculously fuckin hot’, yknow, I know I am.”
Mammon gets flustered easily, that’s always been true, but hearing you tease him is enough to make him practically melt.
Of course, you’re going to have to initiate the conversation about where you stand, but he’s more than happy to have it, regardless of what he might say.
Leviathan
He’s in the middle of a sin-induced rant when you open the door for one of your bi-weekly gaming nights.
“I-it’s so unfair! They didn’t even know that jerk but they were paying so much more attention to them anyways, and o-obviously they wouldn’t pay that sort of attention to me but they didn’t need to ignore me! They never do that, and-”
“Who says I wouldn’t pay that sort of attention to you?”
what the fuck when did you get here what the fuck
Denial. It was about this or that or he was repeating lines from something but he swears it’s not what it seems like.
You gotta initiate a hug or something, just reassure him you’re not upset, and you were just being polite earlier. You didn’t expect them to talk for so long.
At this point he’s melting, trying to cover his red face as he frantically continues to stammer out something, anything, for the sake of saving face.
despite how much he shies away from it, it’s important you explain what you like about him, start the conversation, or at least make sure he knows you’re not upset.
Satan
Most cat owners talk to their cats, and he’s definitely not an exception to this. the poor thing often has to deal with him discussing everything that comes into his mind, and that’s mostly you.
Also the plot of the last book he read, but that was mostly just him being upset over how sweet and wholesome the relationship was. 
(”they were just- it was so sweet and domestic and oh my fuck I want that holy shit” “bookstore dates! Do you know how genius that is? if someone fucking took me on one of those I would propose on the spot”)
It’s adorable, and you should savor it for as long as you can. He’ll notice you eventually, but for now enjoy the rare sight of a Satan with absolutely no filter.
He doesn’t bother with being embarrassed, you’re the one who didn’t fuckin knock, so really it’s not his fault.
He’s a little nervous but he figures that if you were uncomfortable or anything you would’ve just made your presence known, so there’s probably nothing to worry about.
Still, no eye contact.
Asmodeus
he talks to himself in the mirror. Really, is there anyone who would understand him as well as his reflection? Of course not!
So it’s been a long day, he deserves some time to just complain, and somehow the topic wanders to you, the way you’re genuinely nice, or at least not a total dick, to everyone and gentle to him in particular
It’s been a while since anyone saw him as more than his sin, or a narcissistic asshole, so obviously he has some emotions going on.
He’ll realize you’re there as soon as you actually walk in the door, but decides that the easiest way of dealing with conflict is avoidance and just keeps talking. You could stop him immediately, but it’s probably best to wait.
He’ll get restless after a little bit, worrying that he should’ve stopped talking once he realized you were there.
Not that it would’ve mattered, he can only tell if people are inside his room, not right outside of it.
the correct move to take here is probably to walk towards his vanity mirror and hug him from behind. he likes affection, especially the sort that just feels warm, safe, and loving.
He hates verbal communication, so he’ll wait for as long as he can.
Beelzebub
Beel didn’t really confess accidentally as much as sooner than he intended.
You see, he was planning on telling you, since he felt bad not letting you know, and you just happened to stumble in while he was trying to figure out what to say. 
he’s just pacing his room, anxiously fiddling with his hands as he says one thing, shakes his head, and changes it.
Once he notices you, he’ll apologize, both for not seeing you sooner and for everything he said. 
Beel is a ‘hope for the best, plan for the worst’ kinda demon, so you’ll have to make it clear exactly where you stand.
Out of everyone, he probably needs the least reassurance that you’re not upset, willing to accept it the first time you say so.
Belphegor
He doesn’t usually sleep-talk, but of course he just had to when he really didn’t want to.  
Belphie’s pretty straightforward as a rule, but he’s also kinda shit at feelings.
It takes a lot to wake him up, so just wait for as long as you can before you get restless. Did you bring a book?
When he does wake up, it’ll take him at least ten minutes and your vaguely smug expression to realize that he was talking in his sleep, upon which he’ll ask what he said.
Stay silent or tell him, he’ll figure it out pretty fast either way. 
well shit, he thinks, they’re going to tease me for this for years
He knows you’re not upset, upset people don’t look smug
Diavolo
With Dia, it just kinda falls out during a conversation. You made a good suggestion, and he excitedly agreed, a happy “I love you that’s perfect” leaving his mouth.
It takes him a while to realize what he said, and he pretends it was fully intentional once he does realize.
He’s never going to bring it up again, aside from dropping affection into his sentences more often. With everyone, not just you, though, he doesn’t want you to be suspicious.
Barbatos
this man is very composed. It’s shocking that he said anything, let alone accidentally. 
It just goes to show that regardless of how powerful, overworking is still something that can happen to demons. 
You’ve probably been there before- tired, burnt out just enough to lose your filter completely, just sleepy enough to make silly mistakes without realizing.
So really, despite how surprising it was, it was a little bit expected that he’s say something out of the ordinary. 
You’ll learn fairly fast that Barbatos, when he’s extremely tired, lacks any type of filter. 
He won’t remember it after a night of good sleep, but he said several things that could be considered interesting, such as that he thought you were really gorgeous (the word ethereal was used a couple times), really smart, and a good person, with references to Devildom courting rituals mixed in.
Solomon
You were completely used to hearing someone knock on your door at three in the morning, thanks to your insomniac housemates. 
Still, you weren’t expecting Solomon, holding a suitcase that almost certainly contained at least a third of his sorcery things, with an expression halfway between “contemplative” and “I just ran a marathon”.
“Hey, I need the blood of a mortal for this, technically it’s supposed to be human but I don’t work because of the, yknow-”
“just fucking get in here, Lucifer’ll lecture me if you make too much noise.”

hahahahahaha nothing to see here please say you couldn’t read his handwriting
you could? ah. excuse him while he ascends to the Celestial Realm
