*casually slides a guitar over to Seph*
He spends nearly forty minutes strumming it tunelessly to almost comical degrees. Which royally pisses him off because he hates that he's not a natural at it like everything else.
Spends a week in the library aggressively glaring at a selection of instrument guides.
Comes back, picks it up, conducts a single immaculate set of chords and twangs, then proceeds to never touch it again. There. Ego satisfied. He needs his hands in good condition for swordplay anyway.
Interesting barb. Very very interestingđ

SEPHIROTH CAN READ ZACK.
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 canât ! 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 isnât 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 doesnât necessarily have access to the magic they have a sense of premonition.Â
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?
Thatâs the human instinct. Something that the human naturally developed to compensate their âinferiorityâ to other species.
The pheromones
 Humans emit pheromones just like angels and demons do. However, the purpose isnât 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 theyâre down ect. They all are conscious when they use their pheromones whereas humans arenât. Humans often donât know when they exude strong pheromones. I hc that they genuinely let them out when theyâre 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 đđ Hoes mad but they can say anything because none of you are aware of what youâre 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 theyâre 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, theyâll empathize better with each other than with other species.
Imagine : itâs 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 doesnât leave when asked to ? Lucifer is about to beat him up until he sees Solâs pheromones enveloping yours, meaning that he went too far. đđđ
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 otherâs 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 canât even talk about Lucifer and Dia because well, lessons 30 to 38 đđ. I believe that Luke and Simeon share a bond because Simeon, in addition to being Lukeâs 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 didnât know them before the program. If I remember well, at the beginning of the game said that humans got to stick together. Because thatâs their nature. Therefore, the bond is important bc :
The more brain weâve 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 thatâs on what? Thatâs on PERIODT. Do the Celestial Realm and the Devildom even make sense without humans? There canât be good or evil without anything to balance the two. Humans are valuable tools because theyâll 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 donât know lol. However, I believe that if youâre a sorcerer your magic can be stronger bc of that. Youâre 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 canât 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. Thereâs 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 iâll probably update this

The holy post
internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you donât get the physical copy but you still get all the great content
Iâve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they donât get any, readers donât know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people donât bother writing comments.Â
And this is what it boils down to:
I canât speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers donât care so much for the âomg youâre a brilliant writer!!â comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if itâs just your thoughts as youâre reading of âoooh x happened! I canât believe y said this! Whatâs going to happen now that z has happened?!â We literally just want to talk about what weâve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. Weâre not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist.Â
While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesnât need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someoneâs work thatâs telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldnât feel pressured to have to praise a writerâs abilities every time they want to comment.Â
In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. Itâs the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me âwow your art is so pretty!â itâs a LOT more useful to me to get comments like âI love their expressions!â or âthe lighting on this is gorgeous!â because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future.Â
The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. Itâs feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.
Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says âgreat chapterâ or âyouâre a great writerâ doesnât do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with âcomment anxietyâ find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.
So that fic the author hasnât updated in forever that youâre dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it.Â
