I love this idea about humans differences but that doesn't mean I still have faith in humanity
Yo ! Soooo it is often said that compared to demons and angels, humans are weak but there are some aspects in which human can succeed that the other species can’t ! I have an whole ass essay to do, a whole ass book to read but here i am bc imma a dumb bitch
Updated : 12/04/2020
The instinct
Of course demon and angels have instinct, in fact I believe that every living creautre has one. However the human instinct is particular. Where demons are guided by sin and angels by virtue, the human instinct is sharper and general. Like, even without being intimidated by pheromones/ aura or whatever, humans are the best to tell someone appart. They just know when the demon standing in front of them isn’t reliable. Even though their facade is joyful and authentic. They know better when someone is lying ect. A another thing about instinct : the hunch. Compared to demons and angels, even though every human doesn’t necessarily have access to the magic they have a sense of premonition.
Did you ever wake up with the feeling that something bad will happen during the day and it actually happens? Or put yourself in a situation that appeared normal but you knew that something bad will occur and it did?
That’s the human instinct. Something that the human naturally developed to compensate their “inferiority” to other species.
The pheromones
Humans emit pheromones just like angels and demons do. However, the purpose isn’t the same at all. For instance, Asmo uses his to seduce people, Lucifer does it to intimidate, Simeon might use it to soothe people when they’re down ect. They all are conscious when they use their pheromones whereas humans aren’t. Humans often don’t know when they exude strong pheromones. I hc that they genuinely let them out when they’re with someone they like, happy, etc (and naturally, when having strong emotion). They also use them as greeting.
Just picture Levi and Mammon being jealous or a surprised Satan when Solomon comes to visit the house of lamentation and both of you instinctively mix your pheromones 👀👀 Hoes mad but they can say anything because none of you are aware of what you’re doing
Also, humans pheromones have a more social use than the other. Other races study the fact that humans can only function in pack. Meaning that they’re at their best when they are together. Therefore, if a human is very angry, their fellow human will share that anger. Thus, even though MC can be closer to the bros than with Solomon, if they or he is angry or sad, they’ll empathize better with each other than with other species.
Imagine : it’s canon that Solomon fears Lucifer, but what if MC was angry against the firstborn and that Sol tried to step up between the two ? It already happened in the game but the sorcerer eventually backed down. So what if this time he interferes and doesn’t leave when asked to ? Lucifer is about to beat him up until he sees Sol’s pheromones enveloping yours, meaning that he went too far. 👀👀👀
The bond
As I just stated, humans are pack creatures. They can function individually but are better in groups. This is a strength because demons are egotistical beings. You may have noticed that when facing a problem, the brothers rarely consult each other. Also, even in the game, Belphie called Diavolo out several times because the demon prince often acts on an impulse, without asking for other’s opinions. The fact that demons are so self-centered is a weakness because by living with their own they do not share things with the people around them. Thus, they do not have the opportunity to create that bond. In the game, the only bonds among demons visible are the ones Beel and Belphie share. We can’t even talk about Lucifer and Dia because well, lessons 30 to 38 👀👀. I believe that Luke and Simeon share a bond because Simeon, in addition to being Luke’s legal representative, is always looking after him and the same thing goes around (even though angels are not self-centered I still perceive them as secretive though). The other bond that we can see in the game are human+demon.
Now about humans. Humans, in general, are social creatures. Thus, creating a bond is something they instinctively do. The brothers are tied because well there are brothers. Whereas humans do not need a special attachment to the person as they unconsciously aim for the preservation of the race. Solomon, as secretive and shady as he might be, is always looking out for MC, even though he didn’t know them before the program. If I remember well, at the beginning of the game said that humans got to stick together. Because that’s their nature. Therefore, the bond is important bc :
The more brain we’ve got, the easier you can find a solution
The more you are, the powerful you can become
Also, the bond allows you to know better the other, you can almost feel them. Know when the other is not doing well and stuff
I also hc that human can pick up really fast on body language because they are used to look for each other (spoiler of the episode in the cave: this is why MC kept an eye on Solomon)
Human souls are more powerful than others
And that’s on what? That’s on PERIODT. Do the Celestial Realm and the Devildom even make sense without humans? There can’t be good or evil without anything to balance the two. Humans are valuable tools because they’ll either add number in paradise or hell. Thus, when harvesting, human are not only tastier but the more the human was evil or good, the more powerful the realm will become.
The feelings bro
Demons are guided by their sin. Angels by virtue and human by none of them. They can experience heavy negative feelings but the same goes around for the better ones. Why is this an advantage? I don’t know lol. However, I believe that if you’re a sorcerer your magic can be stronger bc of that. You’re not limited by the rules of the sky nor by the underground ones so that only leaves a greater room for your power.
The determination
Demons think that humans are weak and stupid because they are only driven by their emotion. Like, they could endanger themselves and risk their lives just for pride or love where other species have a precise goal. I believe that the human determination is something that demons can’t understand. Also, just like emotions, the determination humans testify makes them stronger. However, because of this determination, they can easily be corrupted as they might tend to blind themselves with it.
Human attraction
There is something about the human that makes other species crave for them. There’s the value of their souls, yes but they may also exude something else that makes others want to involve themselves with them. Out out of the people living in the Celestial Realm, why did Lilith fell for a human? The brothers too have lived for like millennials. And as soon as they were in contact with a human they found themselves tending to them. This may make it easier for a human to get what they want, by manipulating or just using this charm of their.
I actually had others ideas but I forgot about them so i’ll probably update this
Masterlist
CONFIRMED THEYRE REMAKINF AC1???????????????
Mammon x Reader (Promise)
Warning: Angst, Hatred
Throwing his jacket in a random direction in his room, Mammon runs a hand through his hair before letting himself fall onto his bed. It's not the comfiest bed he's gotten, not that he often sleeps on it, but this time, it's as if the mattress is lulling him to sleep, the temptation to just close his eyes. But he doesn't. No, he can't.
Rolling onto his back, he puts his right arm in the air and looks at his hand, more specifically his pinky finger. The finger you placed your promise upon.
"I will never leave you, Mammon. I promise."
Those were your words and yet... Mammon lets out a sigh and puts down his arm, eyes staring at the empty ceiling. After you left, he was hurt. So, so hurt. His heart aches for you but he can never see you ever again. Tears well up in his eyes but he blinks them back, refusing to look weak even though there's no one else with him. He feels as if you'd judge him from afar.
The Great Mammon feeling hurt by a human. It's such a ridiculous thought to him and yet here he is, turning that statement into real life.
"You promise?" Mammon looks at the human, his human.
You nod, smiling.
"Lies." Mammon whispers, gritting his teeth.
"I promise."
"Lies!" He sits upwards and unconsciously turns into his demon form out of anger.
Realizing his own form and anger, he turns back to his normal self and hugs his knees. If he were to push away what little pride he has left, he'd pray to his own father and kill himself which would send him back to the Celestial Realm.
What did he do wrong? Where did it all began? How did he... Lose you? So many questions flood his mind, swirling around like a tornado but none can be answered other than you but you're gone. He could've ask you if given the chance but he refuses to and he regrets it bit by bit. Every. Single. Day.
"Damn it..." Mammon's voice crack, his shoulders slightly shaking. "Damn it! Fuck!"
He punches his pillow, the soft cushion harshly hitting the wall. "How fucking stupid..."
His heart aches so much. He wants to see you so much but he just can't. He refuses to.
Walking through the halls of RAD, Mammon hides a small gift box behind his back. He plans to surprise his human with an item he had bought with his own money that he worked on. He can't wait to see the happiness on your face. After all, he loves the bright smile on your face and every time you give him a smile, even if it's just a small one, he's just falling more and more for you. Truly, he is in love.
Just as he was about to enter your class, he hears your conversation.
"Yeah, Mammon's so annoying and so fucking stupid, I mean, did he really think that I actually like him? Bitch, please. He's just head over heels over me." Your laughter is heard.
Mammon takes a moment to process your words and when he finally does, overcome by wrath, he barges into your classroom. A look of shock and horror is displayed on your face but Mammon couldn't care less. He threw the gift at the floor near you and clenches his fists.
"If ya fucking hate me so much, then tell me straight to my face! Here I thought that yer' sincere and aren't like my brothers at all but I was so fucking wrong!"
"Mammon, I-"
"No, shut yer' fucking mouth, ya' lowly piece of shit! I don't want to see ya' anymore! If I see ya', don't think I'll beat the shit outta ya'!"
"Fine! Just get out of my sight, scumbag! Your brothers were right about you!"
From that moment on, he avoids the human. It hurts him. Even after betraying him like that, stomping onto his trust like that, degrading him like that, he still loves you but because of you, he can no longer trust another other than his own brothers, not again. He doesn't want to get hurt anymore but he just can't bring himself to hate you even after everything you've done.
Mammon sobs and lays down on his bed. He fights his tiredness as the night lasts for a couple more hours, gradually losing sleep. It's bizarre how love can be so simple and yet so painful if not reciprocated or worse, been told that you're not loved.
Sephiroth and cadet cloud spend the day together!
Sephiroth is out on a solo mission and brought Cloud along to teach him the ropes. After a long day of work, they settle down at their campsite.
The glowing fire heats their faces, the cup in Cloud's hand is warm enough to lull him into a sense of safety, and he just can't get a thought out of his head.
"Sephiroth?" Cloud asks after a period of mutual silence.
Sephiroth looks up from his own tea. "Yes?"
Cloud looks back down at his tea. "Do you think we're friends in every universe."
Sephiroth considers.
"I don't know," he replies. "Are there others besides this one?"
Cloud begins to swirl the liquid in its cup. Anxiety has sunk it's teeth three inches deep into his shoulder blades.
"Maybe there are. Maybe there's one out there where we're enemies, you and I."
Sephiroth's eyebrows flash. He makes a quiet noise of amusement before setting his own cup on the ground in front of him.
"Well, if such a life even exists..."
Cloud feels Sephiroth's gloved hand weigh on his shoulder. He looks up, surprised to see the older man smiling at him.
"I'm glad we're not a part of it."
Small rant(?) kinda. Okay so in Obey Me! there's this text with Lucifer talking about a quiz
So okay. Basically everyone did okay (save for Mammon as he barely passed) and I wasn't surprised that Satan got 98% cuz ofc. He smart af (I couldn't crop it any more sorry)
And I know that Belphie is smarter than people give him credit for because it has been claimed by him that tests are so easy to him that he falls asleep. But I didnt expect THIS
100% FUCKING PERCENT? EVEN SURPASSING SATAN? Fucking WOW. I've always thought that either Lucifer or Satan is the smartest but damn. Nevermind.
Then again, maybe this subject is particularly easy for him compared to other subjects but if you played the hard lessons (18-15 & 18-17), even though Belphie doesn't want to do stacks of homework and assignments given by Lucifer shortly after getting out of the attic, he is actually commited to doing it despite his sin.
He could've slept, could've burnt it and give some shit excuse, could've bribed someone else to do it, anything, yet he still does it, with MC's help cuz doing months of assignments while learning on the way through in such a short amount of time is just crazy. He's been locked up for MONTHS and Lucifer never gave him any kind of education from RAD (he should've tho. Least he could do so that Belphie can waste time) and yet he scored the highest among his brothers.
Sure, you can back it up with him being a demon with centuries of experience but this is an exchange program which most likely means that Diavolo changed the syllabus so that humans and angels can pass alongside demons.
He may be my least favourite brother (I actually pretty much dislike him) but I really admire these positive qualities about him cuz I know if I were him, I'd go insane and cry.
This actually turned out longer than I thought
It's 2:23 am here and suddenly, I had the idea of Violet in modern clothing. Then, I had more ideas and drew Benedict and Leon as well... Idk if it was worth it but honestly, Benedict can step on me and I'd thank him. Boi wearing heels and another one having long hair? Sign me tf up. They are best bois and Violet is best girl
Oof thank you, Sol
How I wish Lesson 8-8 would have went:
It's always bothered me the lack of options we have when Lucifer threatens us so I decided to write something. I've been meaning to write this for a while and the inspiration finally struck. This is not beta read.
💫 MC is GN 💫
Warnings: mild language maybe, intimidation, slight pain
“So ya know as long as you don't have a partner I guess I could maybe go ahead and pair up with you for a little bit,” the white-haired demon suggested with a bit of blush on his cheeks.
MC resisted the urge to roll their eyes at Mammon and quickly downed the champagne they were drinking.
“Mammon, why not just admit that you want to dance with MC?” Satan teased with a knowing smirk.
MC sighed and set the champagne flute down on a tray as a server walked by, tuning out of the conversation as their eyes swept over the dance floor. By this time, Levi had joined in and they heard the words “tsundere” and “LMAO”. Leviathan was the only person MC had met in their life that said “LMAO” out loud. It was hard to believe that this was the same demon that almost killed them a couple of weeks ago. If it wasn't for Lucifer, they would have surely been dead and on their way to, hopefully, the Celestial Realm.
Lucifer. MC grimaced at the thought of the demon.
“MC, come dance with me. Now.”
MC felt their spine stiffen as he appeared in front of them. “Speak of the devil,” they grudgingly thought to themself.
“No,” MC replied simply. They did not want to play these games with Lucifer today. If he thought that MC would just roll over and -
“I do not believe I offered you a choice,” Lucifer said and firmly grasped MC’s wrist, pulling them onto the dance floor.
MC glared at Lucifer, their eyes boring holes into the back of his head as he led them through the throng of dancing couples.
“Do you know how to dance?” He asked, turning around to face MC.
“Do you know how to take ‘no’ for an answer?” MC shot back at him, feeling the anger they normally managed to quash starting to come bubbling up to the surface.
Lucifer let out a dark chuckle at that, one hand taking MC’s in his own while his other encircled their waist. He stretched his wings out to their full length as his eyes pierced through MC.
“Do not test my patience, MC,” he warned, warm breath fanning over their neck.
MC clenched their jaw in annoyance but nodded stiffly.
Lucifer pulled them in close as he took the lead. It had been a while since MC did any type of ballroom dancing but they were able to match his pace. They would not let this demon intimidate them.
“In general, there are all sorts of reasons why one might ask someone else to dance,” Lucifer began.
MC narrowed their eyes.
“I don't remember you asking me,” they hissed as he spun them briefly and pulled them back against him.
Lucifer only smirked and continued, “For example, they might be interested in them, they might want to touch them, or they might simply be doing it out of politeness.”
“None of which is why you asked me. Get to the point,” MC growled refusing to wince as he lightly dug his nails into their back - a warning.
“Or it could be because they want to have a private conversation,” he whispered into their ear as he turned with them before adding, “What is it you're plotting with Asmo?”
He suddenly dipped MC before pulling them up, grip tightening around their hand and their waist. MC flinched at this, their body tensing up as the demon leaned in closer to them.
“Let me make one thing clear: I respect my brothers’ freedom to do as they wish. However, if I ever sense that you’ve become a threat to either Diavolo or us...then I will show you absolutely no mercy. Understood?”
His grip tightened even further and MC tried desperately to wrench their hand from his own. It hurt. Lucifer was holding them so tight that they couldn't move their upper body. MC saw red.
Ever since they were forced into this exchange program against their own free will they had been bullied, intimidated, and belittled by these demons. Not that most of them hadn't come around and ended up becoming good company but MC had just had enough. They raised their foot and slammed it down on top of Lucifer’s. MC used his surprise to wrench themself free from his grasp.
Lucifer’s anger flared and MC could see the dangerous aura radiating around him. Just as he was about to grab them by the throat, Solomon cut in between them.
“Pardon me. Well, looks like a new song has started. I'd love the chance to dance with MC. Might I cut in?” The sorcerer asked, looking between the two of them and hoping it was enough to stop whatever storm had been brewing between the two.
MC let out the breath they were holding and shot Solomon a grateful look.
Lucifer took a moment to answer, quelling his anger towards the exchange student that he was just about to squeeze the life out of. He could not murder them. It would cause Diavolo’s exchange program to fail but he would not forget this moment.
“...Fine. I get the feeling that you've gotten the message and you understand what I'm telling you, MC. I'm glad we got to have this little talk,” he spoke with a quiet kind of fury that betrayed that last sentence.
“Likewise. Message received,” MC replied in a cold tone, looking into his eyes with a hardened gaze.
They felt a bit smug when he turned and walked away with just a slight limp for only a split second before wondering if they had just dug themself an early grave.
“...You look pale and Lucifer looked like he was about to murder you. What happened?” Solomon’s concerned inquiry brought them back to the present.
“Just Lucifer being, well, Lucifer,” MC replied, not wanting to divulge too much information, “Thank you for coming to my rescue there.”
“No need to thank me. Think nothing of it. This is the Devildom. When it comes down to it, you're human, and that makes you different. Never forget that,” Solomon replied, leading them into a new dance.
His grip was much gentler and less controlling. MC was grateful for that. They had enough manhandling for one night.
This is perfect

i will be ruthless and im not holdin back!! ok now say it with me😈
I kin Lucifer and I have a hard time reaching out to my friends for help even when i know i need it. I don't want people to get worried about me so i mask my issues and help everyone with thier issues, completely disregarding my own needs for a break. in the end i feel alone because regardless of saying im ok, i want someone to truly sit with me and ask me if im ok, but i fear that moment because im not used to dealing with my own issues
I kin Mammon and i just want to feel seen and loved. sometimes i do stupid/dumb things to get the seratonin that comes from making people laugh. i feel like no one ever listens to me and it makes me feel insignificant and like the last one to get picked. i truly want to be myself and fear that if im not the odds one out by doing little dumb things people will think im essentially worthless and most likely think im borning. I have a hard time talking about my feelings and want to so desperately, that if i do i won't know what to say or where to start due to the many emotions i've bottled up throughout my life
I kin Leviathan and i have very bad anxiety. i have a difficult time making friends and part of that reason is bc im scared they already hate me or want nothing to do with me. I know my interests are different from what is considered the norm but i so desperately want to talk and ramble about said interest for hours to someone who will at the very least listen. I get bashed about the things i like by my family and although i dont show it, this hurts me deeply. I lock myself in my room and indulge myself in my favorite things bc each character makes me wish i had certain aspects of them and makes me wish i lived an interesting life but bc of my anxiety it's extremely hard for me to do so. Im also used to being the last one picked and often assume i will always be the last one picked no matter how many times im reassured and deep down i want someone to relish in my own interests with me and truly love and care for me
I kin Satan and i have a horrible realtionship with my father. I Loathe my father and the tension arises every time we a near one another. A part of me feels terrible that i loathe my father because i know he has his own mind and emotions and i want to forgive him for what he's done but in the end I know it's fruitless to forgive him bc he has put me through alot of pain and hurt. i wish things couldve been different and we couldve had a normal bond. I also hide my emotions very well and am ashamed of ever feeling angry bc it makes me feel like i am horrible person. im also not used to affection and have only ever seeked or felt genuine affection from my pets. I also fear as if i have no personality and that im boring.
I kin Asmo and i feel like i need to act confident around others in order for them to like me because im too scared to show people my insecurities because i fear they will never view me the same again and leave me in disgust. I want everyone to like me and I also can't handle when someone doesn't want to be my friend or doesn't like me bc i feel if there's something wrong with me. the need to act confident and cute all the time makes me oblivious to the fact that my insecurities shine through at times and make me even more oblivious to the fact people like me for who i am, insecurities and all
I kin Beel and i have some form of sepreation anxiety towards my favorite person. i often get a sudden fear that something bad will happen to my fav person even though everything is ok. I get made fun of or scolded by my eating habbits and it makes me feel absolutely terrible because i'm trying. i also care very deeply for my family/friends and will do anything for them. i place unnecessarily guilt onto myself and perfer to do so, so that no one else has to bear the burden.
I kin Belphie and i act as if nothing matters but i secretly am very worried and care alot about my friends/family. I also stay up very late because i feel like i have no control over my life during the day and for some reason i feel like staying up late gives me some kind of control. I also hide my emotions with a sarcastic tone and usually think about the the mistakes ive made in my past while i cry in bed. i dont ask others for help emotionally and i want someone to care and listen to me as well as to relish in a calm peaceful life.
I kin Diavolo and i fear that telling ppl i care about them isn't enough to get the message across so i constantly gift people things in hopes to show them i care. i also fear gifting things too much drives people away from me, i also dont get included much with friends and feel as if i have done something wrong. i also feel very upset when a fun time is over because the feeling of happiness goes with that moment, so i constantly throw little parties and whatnot to relish in the joy but feel upset once it's over. i can also read people well and get put on edge or very cautious when i cannot read someone
I kin barbatos and i constantly take care of others never once letting myself take a break. I hide my emotions behind a smile in order to not worry others and because i dont want dont ppls sense of depency on me to be ruined. i rarely let myself take breaks bc i fear that i wont be there for the person i care about when they need me.
I kin solomon and i usually supress my emotions to hide the fact im not very used to being shown affection and that im not as confident as i seem. I also am a very private person but the fact im so secretive makes me disliked by some bc they think i dislike them. i also wish my friends would include me in more events with them and when they dont i bury myself in an activity to hide the fact im upset about it
I kin simeon and i want to know and make sure they everyone is ok. i know just how to push and pull people's buttons but i wont abuse this because i care about those people. i'm also very hard to read and perfer to give people advise rather than answers to their problems. The constant taking care of others makes me forget that i also need time to just myself. It takes alot and i mean alot to anger me but once it happens it's not very pretty.
I kin luke and I want to take care of everyone and often forget to take care of myself. People often dont take me seriously and so i often i find myself baking as a coping mechisim bc it makes me feel in control of little things. I also have a hard time admitting that i care about others and i'll unknowingly show my affection that i do care about them by giving them little gifts and advice. im also very oblivious to certain topics and are i get mad when i get left in the dark about certain topics.
PLEASE LOVE HIM!!
He’s just so big n strong and loyal-
TW: Angeal being one of the best characters. Dom!Angeal Sub!Reader, Dirty-talk, Slightly bratty reader, Kitten/Puppy petplay themes, Choking- if you squint. Mentions of daddy kink- like one mention. Angeal being the perfect lover.
SFW
Angeal Angeal Angeal
Also known as the most reluctant member of Shinras Three Stooges
Really the only one with common sense
The sane ones always get left behind-
Anyways
Angeal as your bf is just perfect???
He’s literally amazing. 100/10
Loyalloyalloyalloyal
He’s like 6′5 hes so big help-
Patient with a healthy side of stern to put you in your place
i mean-
He deals with Zack on a daily basis. Patience is in his blood at this point.
Not to mention constantly stopping Genesis and Seph from constantly fooling around.
He’s not the type to go off and date randomly. I think the person he does go for will be the one he marries.
A one and done type of guy
Though he does worry because he is a SOLDIER and it could put either you or him in danger so he would be hesitant.
So you’ll just have to be patient with him.
Not huge into PDA, but makes sure to kiss you long and deep before he goes off to train or a mission.
He is most definitely teased for it.
He’s the type to bring you flowers from his garden, slightly blushing when he says that he planted these flowers in thoughts of you.
Angeal is a natural caretaker and so in his mind he wants nothing but to take care of you and all your needs.
Would want you to move in with him to be closer and to spend more time with you.
Is always ready to cuddle you if you need it, buys extra blankets just in case.
Is definitely making you breakfast in bed
(haha probably cause you cant walk)
Would most def buy you anything you asked for. He just loves you so much.
If you guys are having a problem he will immediately address it. Sometimes his teacher voice comes out when he does it though so it feels like a lecture when you’re talking about feelings and how they should be displayed between the both of you.
Keep reading
