This Is So Cool!

This is so cool!

I've been enamored with time loop stories ever sind I watched Star Trek when I was a kid. There are some really fun and thought-provoking ones throughout media history.

That love has kinda rekindled since watching the Loki TV series. So that fic rec hits right up my alley. Thanks! :D

Fun scifi interlaced with fantasy elements of Hazbin is just the perfect mix of that. So so sooooo fun!

Thank you so much <3

I would like to ask "2. How did you come up with the idea?" for "the world we knew (over and over)", please! :)

the world we knew (over and over)

something about me is i have ALWAYS been a sucker for time loop fics. i'd been tooling around with a couple different hazbin time loop ideas, trying to make it work in the context of the worldbuilding + plot (let me tell you, there are not very many pivotal scenes in s1 to frame a time loop around!) before it occurred to me that i REALLY wanted to crack open alastor & charlie's relationship, and what better way to do that then by also cracking open lucifer & charlie's relationship too? and toss in some queerplatonic rivals radioapple while i was at it? i definitely owe a lot of inspiration to one of my favorite loki-centric marvel fics in the whole wide world, fun with time loops by infinite_monkeys, which is the single funniest / most emotionally wrenching time loop fic i've ever read. absolute comedy gold.

He's trying to fix the cracks.

I subscribe 100% to the HC that Alastor kept Vox's old head. They are fucked up about each other.

Name ten female characters you like, you get zapped if it's jsut a male character you call a babygirl or other feminine nicknames because I can't see people calling Lestat coquette again

FINALLY! Someone says it!

Charlie is overcorrecting on sympathy precisely because SHE HAS NO CLUE HOW TO READ THE ROOM. You can see it throughout the show so often. The way she dismisses Vaggies very real concern about talking to the Angels was our first hint and it happens within the first ten minutes of the entire show.

That's what she ultimately needs high empathy people like Husk and Angel for. I don't know if empathy is a skill someone can learn realistically... Though...looking at Alastor... I think he has learned a fair few things from Rosie in that regard. And he is using that knowledge to his advantage.

Absolutely everyone at the Hotel is not only a has-been but they are all burning trashfires of emotional baggage. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM.

charlie's low empathy/high sympathy desperation to help people without ever really understanding WHY they feel the way they do + vaggie's complex about needing to be useful to the people she loves or else she's worthless = charlie completely mistaking vaggie's self-sacrifical behavior for an expression of love and not the trauma response that it is, because all she's grasping are the literal words out of vaggie's mouth and not the alarming nuances of terrified self-hatred lurking underneath

Marvelous fic. Marvelous radio.

Gathering a fresh towel from the pile in the linen closet, Lucifer turned and opened the shower door. 

His cathedral radio stared back at him. It sat primly on one of the inset shelves, nestled next to his body wash and a small rubber ducky. He definitely hadn't moved it this time. 

With growing horror, Lucifer watched as it switched on, as it wavered between channels before the dial came to a stop. Music flooded the room, the jangle of a synthesizer, of electric guitar. When the fuck had the radios learned about the '80s? 

A voice began to sing, echoing in the resonance of tiled walls, and Lucifer felt dread pool in the spaces between his bones. 

I always feel like somebody's watching me

Tell me is it just a dream?  

Scene from the latest installment of We Should've Been Enemies; Forever Yours, Nocturnal Me.

I forgot to add this to the fic. I don't know if I will now after the fact, but I still had to share it somewhere. My custom Lucifer radio continues to bring me joy. Every time I'm writing WSBE and I mention it, I look at it on my shelf and marvel that it's real.
