Secrets Of Devildom: Envy Demons (Part 1)

Secrets of Devildom: Envy Demons (Part 1)

Those who have read the theory of the 7 Og and the cycle of life (thank you @sparkbeast20 for the cooperation) know that there are many gaps in the annon, and many of the events that occurred in the annon are not explained, and/or left implicit without any context.

For those following these moments of theory, you may notice that I have been talking a lot about the demonic classes, their "history," and culture before, during, and after the fall of the brothers, focusing most of these moments on philosophical/mythological debates, pointing out plot points that few would see and understand.

Well, we have already talked about 5 of the seven sin classes, namely Greed, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, and Wrath.

Today we will talk about the most common emotion, Common in all human relationships present at all times even if we do not realize its existence......

….(insert supernatural intro)…

...We will talk about Envy.

But before starting this theory moment, I ask you, dear reader, to keep an open mind for this moment, and if you want to point out any flaws, or if I am forgetting something, remember that this is just a theoretical post. I won't be upset if you want to add something to this conversation, I just ask that you reblog and tag me so that we can exchange theories on the subject.

Like all theories about demonic classes, I will begin with the famous question: what do we know about envy?

For Aristotle, envy is like a wound that arises when we see another person's good fortune, a feeling stimulated by "those who have what we desire." The English philosopher Bertrand Russell described it as a powerful cause of unhappiness, indicating that the unhappy person is not only affected by envy but also bothers or at least desires the life of others. Russell, however, saw envy as a driving force behind economies, as well as an element that helps maintain democracy.

In Psychology, envy is defined as a displacement of energy, where the individual's focus shifts to the satisfaction and pleasure of others, to the detriment of their potential. It is a psychological pain that arises when we compare ourselves to others and feel that our values, self-esteem, and respect are diminished. Envy is the painful perception of what we lack, aroused when someone possesses characteristics superior to ours.

Sigmund Freud, the renowned Austrian psychoanalyst, saw envy as a result of unconscious hatred, rooted in childhood and intimately linked to anger and depression.

In the spiritual context, envy is related to the emptiness of the soul, indicating a serious problem in how the individual deals with the world. It is a sign of an inability to grow, resulting in a desire to hold others back. Envy originates in covetousness and, when uncontrolled, can lead to destructive attitudes, such as attacking others' achievements instead of seeking one's development.

With that in mind, we can conclude that Leviathan, once a celestial general, saw his life turned upside down after experiencing incredibly traumatic events: war, revolt, loss of his sister, the fall followed by the event of Species Change, and exile from the place he considered his home. 

[A/n: Man, doesn't that open another can of worms? Just thinking about it makes you understand how screwed the brothers are.]

We can then analyze that these events triggered an identity crisis, leaving Leviathan feeling lost and purposeless. He saw himself as a useless opportunist in a world where he no longer had a defined role. His proximity to Lucifer and Lilith during the Great Celestial War reflects his loyalty and sense of justice and his family. However, upon becoming a demon, Leviathan found himself trapped in a cycle of jealousy and self-pity. Feeling inferior and unjustly treated, he withdrew from the outside world, opting for a life of seclusion and escapism through his passions: anime, manga, and video games.

Leviathan's behavior is a manifestation of the trauma he carries with him. His jealousy and self-deprecation are symptoms of his internal struggle to find his place in the world. He often lashes out in anger when he feels threatened or unjustly treated, and his ability to summon Lotan reflects his need to protect himself from his fears and insecurities.

However, it is in his interactions with other characters that we see a nuance in his personality. His relationship with MC is a turning point in his journey, as he finds in MC a true friend and confidant. Through MC, Leviathan learns to face his fears and accept himself, regardless of his flaws and imperfections.

His relationship with Lucifer, Mammon, and other demon brothers is marked by conflicts and rivalries, reflecting his internal struggle to find his place in the hierarchy of Devildom. However, it is in moments of vulnerability that we see a more human facet of Leviathan, where he seeks connection and acceptance.

Considering these aspects, when we compare the characteristics of Leviathan and his relationship with the other avatars, we can assume that the Third Circle of Hell, the Circle of Envy, is a competitive environment, full of envious people who constantly seek high status and boast about their superiority.

In this competitive environment, there is immense development in various sectors, with a strong focus on technology and entertainment.

We can infer that, compared to other circles of hell, the Third Circle is more dependent on the others, mainly on the First (Circle of Pride) and the Second (Circle of Greed), which significantly support it.

Based on that card with a futuristic background, we can imagine the Third Circle would be a mix of the equivalent of Japan, Tokyo, and Atlantis in the human world. I believe it's more like a blend of the Tron universe and Naboo from Star Wars, or even Kamino, with a futuristic and technological setting, perhaps even located at the bottom of the ocean.

Thus, considering that in the Circle of Wrath, the inhabitants are scholars with explosive temperaments, we can conjecture that the inhabitants of Leviathan's Circle would be nerds, geeks, and otakus with inferiority complexes and tendencies to let their imagination run wild, unchecked.

We can also think that, due to its dependence on neighboring Circles, many of the technologies and developments of the Third Circle are controlled or contained to prevent them from falling into the hands of the chaotic public of the other realms. I'm sure more than half of the paperwork Luci does is aimed at containing and controlling the technological flow developed in the Third Circle.

But what do you think of this theory? Do you think I described Levi well? Or did I psychograph him a lot? And about the kingdom of envy, can you imagine something like that? If so, comment and/or send us your perception of this theory, I would love to cover this subject.

Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise it’s motivational-

• Those emotional scenes you’ve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you can’t articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesn’t mean it’s not impacting the reader. 

• Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasn’t necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now it’s gotta go. It doesn’t make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.

• There are several stories just like yours. And that’s okay, there’s no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story “original” is that it’s yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.

• You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But don’t accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Don’t be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things won’t improve, and that’s not you. It’s going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise you’ll like the outcome.

Até que sou uma pessoa forte, reconheço. Mas eu não merecia ter passado pelas situações que me fizeram assim, foi cruel demais. E o que aprendi com tudo isso, foi me trancar cada vez mais. Meu coração agora é uma fortaleza, minha alma uma muralha e a confiança não passa de uma velha conhecida que agora vive distante.

Secrets of Devildom: Demons of Wrath (Part 1)

I'm back my people with a special gift for you, I present another theory from my expert on the secrets of Delvidom, so stay tuned for possibly sending a double post on the same topic. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Those who have read the theory of the 7 Og and the cycle of life (thank you @sparkbeast20 for the cooperation) know that there are many gaps in the annon, and many of the events that occurred in the annon are not explained, and/or left implicit without any context.

For those following these moments of theory, you may notice that I have been talking a lot about the demonic classes, their "history," and culture before, during, and after the fall of the brothers, focusing most of these moments on philosophical/mythological debates, pointing out plot points that few would see and understand.

Well, we already talked about 4 of the seven classes of sins, namely Greed, Lust, Sloth and Gluttony 

Today we'll talk about the second most famous emotion in Hollywood, the deadliest animal instinct...

….(insert supernatural intro)…

...we'll talk about Wrath.

But before we start this theory moment, I ask you, dear reader, to keep an open mind for this moment, and if you want to point out any flaws, or if I'm forgetting something, remember that this is just a theoretical post. And I won't be upset if you want to add something to this conversation, I just ask you to reblog and tag me so we can exchange theories on the subject.

Like all theories about demonic classes, I'll start with the following question: what do we know about wrath?

According to psychology, wrath is an extremely complex and potentially harmful emotion that we all carry within us from birth. It is born alongside fear and pain, regardless of each individual's circumstances. Like all emotions, wrath has different levels, from mild annoyance to blind passion that can lead to destructive acts.

However, learning to deal with it is essential, as unexpressed or repressed wrath can cause significant physical and mental damage.

In spirituality, the sin of wrath constitutes an aberration of the instinctive feeling when we are attacked. In essence, this capital sin is a disorder that establishes the exaggeration of what is proper to the human being, that is, self-defense, and PROTECTION.

Considered a passion, wrath is a violent need for reaction provoked by physical or moral suffering or contrariety. In these circumstances, the person feels compelled to unleash their anger in physical manifestations to attack the other person or silently.

As already mentioned in a certain motto of a well-known alternative universe's evil order, "peace is a lie, there is only passion."

Wrath is the feeling of an intense desire to repel or punish those who threaten us, but it can be fair when moderate, seeking to punish only when necessary. However, if there is no moderation, it can lead to excesses, especially when a harsher warning is needed.

Violent desire accompanied by hatred leads to the pursuit of revenge, manifested by signs such as impatience, bad mood, and violent words. Lack of control can lead to hatred, resentment, and violation of charity and justice, resulting in betrayals, murders, and wars, affecting interpersonal relationships.

Knowing all this, we can presume that, just like each avatar of the 7 sins, their "realms," "Feuds," or circles, as Dante described them, reflect the nature of their lord. In this case, we can presume that, like Satan, the 5th circle reveals itself in two contrasting faces, revealing a world of duality and mystery.

The visible part of this presents it self as a tourist attraction, with breathtaking landscapes and controlled wrath demons. The inhabitants of this part are intellectually superior beings, with knowledge of various subjects and understandings of vast knowledge. We can then think that in this breathtaking landscape, there are numerous tourist spots focused on intellectual developments, such as museums and libraries.

We can also imagine that these streets boast majestic architecture and lush gardens. However, these same inhabitants conceal a wrath that burns in their hearts. This is the facade that visitors contemplate, a superficial paradise where appearances hide the true nature of this circle. We can also think that there is a certain prejudice among the inhabitants of this small "paradise," where any inhabitant who blatantly displays any kind of "passion" is seen as a being of low status, an animal without due control of their being. This place would also be protected by vast magical walls that separate the inhabitants of this superior metropolis from the wilderness.

Furthermore, we can infer that over the centuries, the Colosseum has evolved, maintaining its roots as a place of punishment and sadistic entertainment. Even today, in the dark depths of the 5th circle, these traditions persist, fueled by the thirst for power and cruelty of its demonic inhabitants, traditions upheld by the traditionalist noble families that little understand or comprehend the changes that Diavolo imposed in Devildom.

I can imagine that this place could be one of the few remaining sites of the old lord of wrath that has remained to appease the noblest houses. A gem to feed the desire of these demons without them interfering with the plans of the future demon king. The spectacle of pain and death continues to attract bloodthirsty crowds, while prisoners fight not only for survival but also for the chance of redemption in a world plunged into darkness.

But what do you think of this theory? Do you believe that the 5th circle would have this kind of duality? Would Satan really leave this part of the old lord of wrath intact or would he simply switch the F*** button and just do it his way?
