This (side)blog is for us to share our Obey Me musings, headcanons, thoughts, analyses, and writings. We talk about it enough between the two of us, so figured we might as well share!
This blog is to fulfill our need to dive into the more otherworldly atmospheric elements of the Three Realms, as well as the magnificent and horror-esque aspects of what it means to be interacting with some of the most powerful demons (and sorcerer and angel) in existence, so that is our main focus. We are very into the demons being demons, and the angels being as terrifyingly monstrous as they were originally meant to be.
Also, we really love angst.
Please take a look at the rules linked below for some more info before following or sending asks/requests!
I’d love to see more character studies n analysis on other characters, similar with Asmo. I love how you were able to show the real horror of his character.
This is such a late reply but thank you so much for enjoying Asmo's character study!! 💕 We love him and his horror, and hate to see him so misunderstood in the fandom. </3
In case you haven't already seen them, here are the other character studies we have done (all reflective of the time we put them out, of course):
We'd like to do more character studies...we'll see if we get to any of them. They're a lot of work and time-consuming if we really want to get into things so...depends on how much of a rant we get into, haha.
Hello !! I'm v new to the tumblr obey me community but I've really been enjoying reading your (I think there's two mods? so both of you) headcanons :)
I haven't been able to play obey me much myself recently, but I'm stuck on ~lesson 42ish for SWD and ~lesson 28ish for NB. I'm mostly aware of (and don't care for avoiding) spoilers, so my question is
When MC returns to the SWD timeline in NB, is there any indication of passage of time at all? I'm assuming MC has spent at least a few months in NB, so has the same amount of time passed in SWD or does it kinda just pick up immediately where SWD got left off? Is there any acknowledgement of MC going to the past?
Thank u :]
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words and we're glad you've enjoyed our writing/headcanons -- and while late to answer, welcome!! ❤️
To answer your question, no, time did not actually pass in the "present" during the events of the first two seasons of NB. The time travel is treated in that very time travel way where, though months have passed in the past, MC returns to basically the same moment that they disappeared. The brothers feel some kind of emotional gap that definitely affects them once MC returns, but they don't really understand why they feel that way because they have no idea it happened.
Now, that's not quite to say that the time travel is never brought up again. Solomon, having followed us to the past, is aware that MC was gone, and he actually warns us that we shouldn't bring it up, in order to avoid screwy time paradox things. And NB season 3 does also bring up some big implications about MC's new double-pact status.
All of that said, though, the whole Nightbringer time travel plotline is...not really resolved. In the rush to tie up loose ends at the end of content last year, they focused a lot on resolving Simeon's whole angel-to-human-maybe-demon-nope-angel-again ordeal, which they hadn't finished dealing with at the end of OG and were still working through in NB at the time of the announcement. Because of that, we ended up getting no answers on exactly what Nightbringer sent us to the past for, what his actual identity is, the deeper repercussions of the time travel, or...anything else with all of that? We'll see if, in whatever upcoming new "projects" they've promised but not yet announced for OM universe, they get deeper into it, but for now, that's all we've got. We can only hope they bring it back for some kind of resolution in the future.
Been enjoying your writing for like 4 years! Thanks for being awesome
Four years...that means you're one of our earlier followers! Thank YOU so much for sticking with us all this time!! We're so happy that you've enjoyed our writing over the years !!! we swear we have more things we're working on sob
I gotta thank you so much for your blog!! It's like an obey me encyclopedia!!! Really helps with writing! Please continue your a life saver! ❤️
Ahhhhhh thank you so much!! 🥹
Haha wouldn't say we're quite an encyclopedia (the players that are helping support things like the Obey Me Wiki are more deserving of that!) but we're glad our posts/analyses can help with you writing!
We will do our best to continue -- we do have quite a backlog of asks and tasks to go through, which we will get to...eventually;;;;
"If you want to surrender, this won't take long." - Beelzebub
content warning: blood mention
The clash of metal and war cries fill Beelzebub’s ears, fingers tightening around the hilt of his longsword as he slashes through the heavens with frustration. It pained him to be fighting his brethren this way, to turn his blade meant for protecting the Celestial Realm to one fighting against it, but what choice did he have? Their father had forsaken their sister, condemned her to obliteration, and they were all meant to accept it and move on? To do nothing but bow their heads in deference? No!
When Lucifer had informed him of his plans, Beelzebub did not hesitate to join him. After all, he had sworn to protect the very angel who had given him a chance, who had taught him how to harness his great strength and power for the good of the realm and shut up the other angels like Raphael who only belittled him. Lucifer had become his dear eldest brother, and he trusted in his judgment. Those who joined him all agreed -- they could no longer live like this, no longer live with a veil over their eyes that hid them from the truth of this world.
“Beelzebub!” A voice roars above the ringing impact of metal -- one of his fellow cherubim looks down at him, a mix of emotions in his bright eyes. “Why are you doing this?”
“You know why.” Beelzebub retaliates, both with words and blade. “Don’t act as if we haven’t made ourselves clear, Rikbiel.”
“This is pointless!” The other angel yells, coming in for a second attack. Beelzebub parries, using his strength to shove Rikbiel back. “You cannot change what has been decreed!”
“Why not?” The two circle each other in the air, glimmers of their higher forms peaking through flesh -- the jaws of a lion baring its teeth, the sharp eyes of an eagle sizing up its prey. Rikbiel does not answer, coming in for another blow. Anguish envelopes them both, neither having ever wished for it to come to this.
A distant familiar cry suddenly grabs Beelzebub’s attention, and he glances to see his twin fighting a battle of his own -- but there is blood soaking his robes, a pained expression twisting his face. Belphie ..!
“Please,” Rikbiel pleads in anger, teeth gritted. “If you want to surrender, this won’t take long.”
“Never.” Beelzebub snarls in response. Without waiting another moment, he slices through one of Rikbiel’s wings, earning a sharp cry from his former comrade. He thrusts forward again to pierce through his shoulder, soaking his blade in angelic ichor and adding another pained bellow to the chorus of war.
“I’m sorry, Rikbiel. I wish it didn’t have to come to this.” His voice is low, sorrow in his violet gaze. He swiftly removes the blade and turns away, not wanting to watch as the other falls through the clouds below.
Hi! Love your work, and congrats on 4000+ followers. May I request 🗡️ + Beelzebub with MC? I think it be interesting.
Thank you for your fantastic work!
Thank you so much!! ;//u//; We're glad you do!
"Let the knife leave its mark." - Beelzebub/MC
content warning: blood, MC into Beel being demonic
The tension in the air is palpable, thick enough to cut through and heavy enough to suffocate.
You’re not supposed to be here, but here you are – hidden behind a large stone column as a scene plays out in this room, a scene you are not meant to see.
It was requested that I do a drabble for each of the demon brothers in this fashion of showing their more true, demonic nature. Can also be found on Ao3 here.
Beelzebub does not like getting taken for a fool. He'd much rather devour them.
content warning: violence and body horror towards the end
Large, intimidating, and the strength to crush you with one fist. Beelzebub had a certain reputation in the Devildom, though at times it was overshadowed by his well known appetite. The Avatar of Gluttony was, well, gluttonous. When he wasn’t in the Coliseum winning the hearts of Fangol fans, or at the gym working up a sweat, he was eating anything and everything. Others would murmur about his endless pit of a stomach, but were too scared to say something to his face lest they become his next meal.
Those that were more well acquainted with him also knew of his often kind nature, a trait that some would try to find a way to exploit. Who wouldn’t want the ear of one of the most powerful demons in existence?
“You look so good with all that blood splatter on your face.” - Belphegor & MC
content warning: gore, violence, blood
You had been warned time and time again to always be careful, to never go out past curfew on your own, to never let a stranger charm you into helping them lest you became their next meal. It’s dangerous, you have been told time and time again. You didn’t always heed that warning.
You hadn’t meant for this to happen -- “Of course you didn’t,” Belphegor had muttered -- but now you watched as the seventh-born raked his claws through the flesh of the demon who had tried to corner you earlier. They shriek in pain as Belphegor tears them open, his expression set in a scowl.
The pleas for mercy are ignored, and it does not take long for those cries to fade away to silence. Belphegor steps back from the now slumped body, slowly turning to you with a slightly irked expression.
This realm and your time spent with the Seven Demon Lords had begun changing you, in ways you couldn’t quite describe or articulate. As you stare at the visage of the Avatar of Sloth, your gaze lingers on the dark ichor that paints his skin. His violent-pink eyes observe you, unsure how you will react to seeing him in such a state, and so he is quite surprised when he hears the next words that leave your lips.
“You look so good with all that blood splatter on your face.”
As if you had been momentarily possessed, your hand suddenly comes up to clasp over your mouth as you can’t quite believe you spoke those words aloud. What is wrong with me?!
There is a moment of silence, Belphegor’s expression unreadable after the first hint of surprise. You then hear a low rumble, and it grows into a laugh -- Belphegor is laughing, a sight made all the more eerie at the blood still covering his face. He comes to your side, a hand gently pressed to your back as he begins to lead you back to the House of Lamentation.
“My, seems our little human is becoming more of a demon after all.”
Next up in this series, Belphegor. I had some trouble with this one and actually completely scrapped my first version.Can be found on AO3 here.
Belphegor didn't care much for what others said. But when he did, he made sure they would never forget just who they were facing.
content warning: mention of hallucinations, paralysis, torture/strangulation
Belphegor might be known for his sleeping habits -- he was one you could find asleep anywhere, any time, in any kind of position -- but he also possessed his own mighty, terrifying powers. He used his tendency to sleep all the time as a distraction from this fact, letting others often forget that he was one of the Seven. After all, how harmless could a demon who just wants to sleep all the time really be?
He smirked to himself at the thought. It made for quite a fun affair when he decided it was time to remind someone that he was the Avatar of Sloth.
Congrats on 100k likes!! Is there any more room or space left? If so, Belphegor and 7 pls!
Thank you!! And you're the lucky last one we're doing. <3
Belphegor + 7 | "Better Days" - Currents
cw: depression talk
It's said that when humans have a sleep paralysis demon haunting them, they often feel an unyielding weight upon their bodies, rendering them unable to move. It's a tried and true trick that Belphegor knows quite well.
"Is this what it feels like?" he muses, sprawled out on his bed as he stares at the ceiling, eyes tracing a pattern of painted stars. He's been doing this for the past ten hours, unable to get himself up to do much of anything else. The weight pressing down on him was suffocating, so why did he also find it so oddly comforting? Had he just gotten used to the heaviness? Used to the hole that had dug itself deep into his chest?
"Belphie, you haven't eaten anything all day." Beelzebub's voice draws him out of his thoughts. Lazily turning his head to meet his twin's gaze, he lets out a long sigh.
“You wanna be a saint, but you know you’re a sinner.” - Belphegor + MC
Belphegor had long found humans fascinating, but especially in how they seemed to strive so hard to be "good" even despite an equal fundamental proclivity to sin.
As an angel, he'd found it quaint, even sort of cute. As a demon, he found it far less endearing. And as a demon who found himself quite fond of such a human, it could be downright frustrating.
"What's wrong with you? You want to put all this effort into being a goody-goody even down in the Devildom, surrounded by demons?" he says with annoyance, tugging on your sleeve. "Come on, let's go take a nap together."
"Belphie, no, I can't right now!" you respond, removing his grip as gently as you can. It's been a stressful few weeks, what with exams on histories of places you'd never even heard of and lessons on controlling magic you hadn't even had until recently. There was sudden new pressure to do well on these midterms, after Diavolo's announcement that you would be graded on the same standard as the demons now. And then your regular chores around the House of Lamentation...!
To Belphie's chagrin, that has meant that you haven't had a single moment to spare for lazing around in bed together lately.
He rolls his eyes. "Who cares? It'll be fine. Just come nap with me and I'll teach you later. Just give in, I know you don't really want to study any of this."
"Well yes, I don't want to do all this work, but I have to! Easy for the oh-so-powerful Avatar of Sloth to say -- you just sleep through your lessons and do fine, but I can't do that, okay?! So I'm going to be good and study right here like I need to!"
"Please, you wanna be a saint, but you know you're a sinner," he answers.
"Oh, big words coming from a former angel!" you snap back before you can think them through. Your hands fly to your mouth immediately. "Shit, I'm sorry -- I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that."
The silence back from him is deafening, feeling like it stretches on far too long. He doesn't meet your gaze, and he doesn't say another word.
Hi, I'm just curious about Mammon and Beel's more demonic nature. they seem to be the most kind ones out of the seven which means that they can be truly brutal when it come to protecting MC. Like they say the nice ones are always scary when they finally snap. what your thoughts on that?
Although it can be easy to forget, a lot of the kindness actually just comes from the fact that we see them through the eyes of MC, who has quickly grown close with all of them.
Really, Beelzebub comes across as terrifying at first! It's not quite a matter of whether Beel will "snap" and become scary, but more just a simple question of whether he likes you or not. He's the physically largest of the seven brothers, is first described as having a "very grumpy look," and destroys an entire kitchen wall over a cup of pudding. Though he is often quite sweet, he also does speak quite bluntly to the other brothers at times, snarky when he sees fit. And let's not forget, he used to be Lucifer's bodyguard -- to reiterate, he was a bodyguard for Lucifer, then the most powerful angel in the Celestial Realm! And it speaks to how important MC is to him that he offers to guard them the same way he did for Lucifer back then. The thing with Beel is not that he's someone kind who will snap if someone hurts MC, but rather that he's totally aware of his strength and makes active choices about using it to protect the ones he loves.
That said, he will snap when it comes to his sin of gluttony, and we've seen that multiple times. As referenced above, he completely wrecks a wall of the kitchen early in the game just over a stolen pudding. He nearly wrecks the whole Ghost Cafe in Lesson 26 over the staff refusing to bring him more food. When he's hungry, he's prone to tantrums bad enough that even the other brothers struggle to contain him, and he will throw a fit if he doesn't get food when he wants it.
As for Mammon, he's the second-most powerful for a reason! He's certainly got it in him to be dangerous, and unlike Beel, he does seem more like someone who has the potential to be brutal if he snaps. But, critically, one of Mammon's great strengths is that he doesn't snap. He doesn't fly into fits of rage like the other brothers; no matter how upset he is, he doesn't really have a tendency to emotionally flip to demon form. When he steps in to try to calm Lucifer down from wanting to kill Luke over the grimoire in Lesson 6, he doesn't go into demon form at all, and same for when he's distraught over MC in Lesson 16. Every time he does go into demon form, it's something he's consciously chosen to do, not purely fueled by emotion.
What he does instead is express his feelings openly -- a bit ironic perhaps, for such a tsundere character, but even if he isn't literally honest about his feelings, he's someone who's emotions are very easy to read. In that sense, when Mammon gets angry or upset, he's someone more likely to just express his feelings loudly and then get over it pretty quickly. He gets into arguments with his brothers all the time, but when they insult him, he just yells insults right back and doesn't hold grudges about it. There's not much bottled up there to burst, which is probably why his anger isn't usually a "snap" kind of thing.
Plus, while Mammon is quite kind to his brothers and MC, and even to a poor little girl he happened across, he's also got his scummier side. He won't hesitate to lie, cheat, and steal in the name of greed. If he thinks he can swindle someone out of something for his own gain, he's perfectly okay being not-so-nice to them. His sin usually just gets expressed a little less violently, but at the end of the day, he's a demon just like the rest of them.
"Everyone's got some tragic history." - Beelzebub + MC
"Why would he do something like that?!" You're practically screaming, tears streaming into the second bowl of ice cream Beelzebub has gently pushed into your hands.
He places a hand gently over yours, guiding the spoon to your mouth in an attempt to make you feel better. "I'm sure Asmo didn't mean it that way," he says, a deep sympathy in his voice but also a firm resoluteness to defend his brother.
"Beel, he destroyed my mother's necklace because he thought it was ugly!" you wail. "He tore it off my neck and ripped it apart right in front of me! I haven't seen her in years, and now the only thing I have of hers here is in pieces! Why does it even matter to him if it's ugly or not?!"
The demon goes quiet for a long moment before responding simply, "Because he's afraid."
"Afraid of what?!"
"After we fell, we all had a hard time adjusting," he explains after another moment, digging a spoon into his own much larger bowl of ice cream. "He changed a lot after that. So did Mammon, and Lucifer. All of us. For Asmo...you know he used to be called the Jewel of the Heavens, right? Everyone said he was the most beautiful angel in the Celestial Realm. But when we transformed into demons, he looked so different from when he was an angel. That's what everyone admired him for back then, and then it was gone. So he was really scared for a long time."
"Yeah, but that was such a long time ago, wasn't it?" you answer, exasperated. You do feel bad for the Avatar of Lust, hearing all this, you really do -- but it doesn't change what he did or how important that necklace was to you. "He's not scared anymore! At this point, he never shuts up about how beautiful he is!"
"No, I think he still is, deep down," Beel responds insistently. "He never hated things just for being ugly back then."
Angry as you are, it's hard to say no to Beel, especially hearing how much he cares about his family. At your silence, he tries one final appeal, "Please, MC, try to forgive him. Everyone's got some tragic history. But I'm sure he didn't do it to hurt you."
"Okay," you give in at last. "I'll try."
The relieved smile he gives you in response feels sweeter than the now-melting ice cream still in front of you. "Thanks, MC. Let's go see if we can get your necklace fixed tomorrow."
Thank you so much!! Going to combine these two because they give the same vibes, hope that's okay. <3
"How come you don't detest me?" + "I'm waiting on the day you don't want me tomorrow." - Belphegor/MC
“How come you don’t detest me?”
You’re caught off-guard by Belphegor’s question, slowly turning to him as you both sit silently in the planetarium. His gaze is on the stars above, lips taught in a straight line as he does his best to keep his face expressionless. You ponder the best way to respond, the sound of water from the fountain all that fills the space. Things had been tense between you recently, Belphegor seemingly taking more chances to push you away just as it seemed you two were growing closer. Was this another attempt to insert distance, to hold you at arm's length?
“I did, at first.” It’s best to be honest, you think. It was true that your relationship had been an … interesting one, to say the least. “But, time has passed. You know how important you are to me now.”
A ‘tch’ leaves his lips, gaze lowering as he shakes his head before bringing his knees to his chest. There’s a heaviness that surrounds him, sinking into the atmosphere around you. “I just … I don’t understand. I don’t get you.”
“What do you mean?” You ask warily, unsure where he was going with this.
“I just … “ His hands go to his head, claws digging into his scalp as he tries to form the words he wishes to speak. “You’re too nice. After everything I did, you still manage to smile and spend your days with me.” His body is trembling, you notice now. Basked in the dim moonlight like this, he looks so terribly vulnerable, like a lost child being swallowed by the shadows. “I...I feel like I’m waiting on the day you don’t want me tomorrow.”
“Belphie…” Your arms go to wrap around his shuddering frame, your lips going to gently rest against his temple. There is an ache in your chest, wanting to comfort both him and yourself but you know that it will only hurt to speak assurances that cannot be guaranteed. “I … I can’t promise things will always stay the same. I don’t know what the future holds, neither of us do, but…” You brush the hair that so often obscures half of his visage to the side, gently placing your fingers around the demon’s jaw as you turn him to look at you.
“But what I know is that now, in this moment, I want to be with you, Belphegor. Isn’t that enough?”
The look in his eyes tells you that he’s not sure if it is, but he leans forward to rest his forehead against yours, his body having calmed to a still in your embrace. His voice is soft yet heavy with a longing that wraps tightly around your heart.
The Temperance Tarot card signifies that you have found your inner calm and have a good perspective on things. It is a sign that the relationships in your life are harmonious. You have learned not to allow yourself to be dragged into other people’s conflict or to let minor issues knock you off balance. Instead you adapt to the situations with a clear mind and calm heart and keep your balance. Temperance can also signify that you have found peace and tranquillity and you are feeling content. Temperance indicates that you are truly in touch with who you are inside, what you value and your own moral compass.
Hot dog. Cheeseburger. Mashed potatoes. Cheeseburger. Lasagna. Cake - the entire cake, not just a slice. Another hot dog.
You watch in amazement as Beelzebub, seemingly oblivious to the bickering of his siblings, stuffs a third entire cheeseburger into his mouth.
"--well you're the most useless embarrassment of a big broth--"
"--at least I'm not obsessed with my own--"
"--you're just a scummy thief who steals from--"
Even as forks are starting to fly across the dining table, he looks so tranquil among it all, as he gulps down a whole bowl of curry - including the bowl. You can't help but admire his peaceful smile a little.
"There's no point getting involved," he told you once. "They're always like this, but they're fine. We're all family, so they always make up eventually."
And yet, he was the one most concerned when Belphegor and Lucifer had their falling out. And when Lucifer shrank for your first sorcerer trial, he took his role of guarding his eldest brother very seriously. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to what's going on with his brothers; just the opposite, he loves them so much that he can tell when something is seriously wrong or not. The things that really aren't a big deal, just won't be a big deal to him.
Though he's the second youngest, you think he might actually be the most mature, aside from Lucifer. While the other brothers fight amongst themselves all the time, he's still focused on what's most important to him: family.
"Hey - Beel, don't take advantage of their fighting to steal their food," Lucifer lectures from across the table, as Beel has half of Mammon's plate in his mouth already.
Okay, family and also food. Food is still important to him too.
