"Can you go tell Mammon and Levi that dinner is ready? We're waiting on them." Lucifer decided this task was best left up to you.

Everyone else had turned up at the usual time and sat in their usual places. Beelzebub was salivating into his napkin and staring a hole into his plate. Satan had passed him a piece of pocket candy out of pity, which sated the Avatar of Gluttony for a whole three seconds.

The fact that everyone was willing to wait without immediately digging in showed just how highly they valued family. How heartwarming. You agreed to the task and got up before Beelzebub started flooding his seat.

Past the living room, down the hall, up the stairs. As you got closer to your destination, sounds got louder. Thuds, shaking furniture, shouts. They were coming from Mammon's room. You stopped in front of his door to assess the situation.

"Back off, nerd!" Nearby demonic power made the hair on your arms stand up.

"Tell me! Where," something slammed against the wall to your left, "is Beatra!?" A high pitched whistling noise signified the use of magic projectiles.

The situation had been assessed. It was a typical sibling spat. You knocked, loudly. Something wooden could be heard splintering to pieces with a loud crack.

"I told ya, I ain't seen your stupid toy!"

"She's a figurine! Rraaaghh!"

It wasn't exactly a hearty "come in," but that was your cue to intervene. You opened the door.

Leviathan was slumped face-up across a broken table with his older brother in a headlock. His hair was smoldering. His tail was throwing debris every which way while he smacked his brother's head like a drum. Mammon, meanwhile, was biting Leviathan's arm with the tenacity of a piranha. He was clawing at his younger brother and spastically flapping his wings, the spurs of which would get caught on Leviathan's clothes and leave scratch marks on his skin.

They didn't notice you walk in. You raised your voice and said, "hey. Dinner's ready."

The fighting immediately died down as the two looked up. Mammon's wings slowed to a flutter. Leviathan's grip relaxed. The malice in the air dissipated. They looked like two kids being caught red-handed stealing cookies from a jar.

"Like... right now?" Mammon asked.

"Yeah," you responded.

"Oh, okay. We'll be down in a minute," Leviathan assured you.

"You better, Lucifer's getting tired of waiting." With that simple yet effective warning, you exited the room. Looking at all the damage was making you anxious about the house's budget.

Once the door clicked shut, it wasn't long before the bickering resumed. Accusations of "this is all your fault!", "I know you took Beatra!", and "hurry and get up, idiot!" were hurled at one another as you made your way down the hall. You took your time, putting one foot casually in front of the other. There was a flurry of activity, but no violent continuation.

By the time you reached the stairs, Mammon and Leviathan flew out of the room and raced to catch up with you. Their demon forms were gone. Mammon panted, using what little breath he had left to ask "what's for dinner?" while Leviathan worked to blow the smoke in his hair away.

One thing I really like is when the om fandom assigns toxic traits to the bros based on their sins yessss make them eviler please the game sands off every edge

Yeah, I like that too to some degree...

While far from me telling others how to write and read the characters, there's some interpretations I just don't enjoy at all, dislike even. And I think it's related to people trying to do that.

The 1st example that comes to mind is Lucifer. It amuses me how it feels like the fandom is as dead set on misinterpreting him as his own brothers are.

I'll explain. More than once now I have seen the brothers expecting Lucifer to be/act snotty and egocentric.

- Noone expected him to vote for Asmodeus in the blood moon ceremony. They expected him to vote for himself and win.

- When Levi and MC have to make Satan's wish come true (seeing Lucifer kneel before him), everyone once again assumes Lucifer would not cooperate (I'm so tired of being idiot MC sometimes).

- They mock him implying he's a show off and self agrandizing. This one is a constant as far as I've seen.

And as frustrating as it can be, once again, it's not called the House of Communications. All the characters are garbage at comunicating with each other. At least that is consistent. So of course noone gets anyone.

But, regardless, he votes for Asmodeus. Of his own volition without anyone asking him to. Because he wants to.

He kneels before Satan. All we had to do was just ask.

He shrugs off everyone's mockery.

Listen everyone is a fucking dumbass in one or more aspects in this game. No doubt, no doubt. And he is too. Such a dumbass, you guys. But he's not the kind of dumbass that has such a shalow definition of pride that it would get in the way of solving things. Or doing "the right thing". Yes, such caricature of a prideful character is very widespread in media. Thousands like that. But, stay with me here, look at the core of that caricature. More often than not it's rooted in the fear of Shame, and being looked down on.

Lucifer does not strike me as someone afraid of shame. At all. He's confident. Confident enough to do anything without batting an eye. Yes, he has an ego obviously. He knows he's powerful and knowledgeable, and sometimes it gets to his head. But he doesn't brag, usually brings it up as a warning or when context needs it. He values honesty. And cooperation. He admits his mistakes. He admits MC has changed him for the better. He gives orders because he deems it necessary to bring upon some order, not because of his status. And, because he's confident, he trusts his own judgement.

Whenever he's mad at something, it never comes across as indignation to me. Because his dignity is simply untouchable. Whether he's wearing bunny ears or a unicorn onesie. He can be bashful about it sure, but it would never even grace his self worth to make him act like the cartoon of an offended bourgeoisie. That's what his Pride is about (just IMO of course).
