Lucifer imagines

So @sparxaf and I were talking and please don’t ask how it came up but basically, may I present, Lucifer with a Nan.

Hear me out.

Lucifer’s Nan comes to thanksgiving dinner. Yes they celebrate thanksgiving in hell. MC is NOT prepared. Satan is also there (duh). We briefly discussed whether it’s funnier to be Satan’s mother or his mother in law (the latter).

————————————————

Satan, angrily sitting at the dinner table: 😡

Mother in law, serving food, grumbling: Lilith could have done so much better.

Satan, furious: I am literally SATAN I am the MOST important Demon in the UNIVERSE

Lucifer, into his dinner: 😏

Satan: KEEP LAUGHING LUCIFER SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT FOR YOU

Mother in law: See, such a temper. No wonder she never comes home tsk tsk.

Satan: 😡

Mother in law: *continues to put Satan in his place. Gives Lucifer a kiss on the head and hands him a lollipop.*

Lucifer, a fully grown man, his feet now on the table, smirking at his father, licking a lollipop like a smug four year old: 😏

Satan, about to implode the entire universe: 🤬

Later:

MC: okay Luci what are you thankful for

Lucifer: I’m the epitome of good looks and sexual desire

MC, fed up: What about books, you like books.

Lucifer: *grumbles*

MC: Or me, you idiot?

Lucifer, sulking as he pushes his food around on his plate: Sexy idiot.

I just read you post about Alex and I agree!!!! I mean I’m on his route and I like him thus far but you’re right he’s just kinda…. Inconsistent??? Like in last week’s episodes he doesn’t want to kiss the first night your back in the villa to be respectful. Sure completely understandable. I get it. But what surprised me is that he’s will to sleep with mc the next night in the hideaway???? Tbh I clicked “go all the way” expecting him to say he wanted to wait and that it was too fast for him but he was absolutely down?? And I was so confused. I was like dude didn’t you say you take it slow and now you’re gonna sleep with someone you haven’t even known a week?? I liked him initially bc he was a guy who didn’t like to rush into things but I guess what he meant was wait 10 minutes then he’ll be down for anything lol

Haha, that's the reality of Alex. Much like midwestern US weather, if you wanna watch him change completely, just wait a few minutes 😆

I really liked how he wanted to be respectful of Estelle the first night, but you're right, he changes his tune fast. I was surprised that, at the challenge the next day, he gets so hot and bothered by MC's run that he'll make out with you, to the point of you wrapping a leg around him, and it seems like there's grinding, all while Estelle is basically standing beside you both.

I just think it would have been more interesting if 1) it turned out his "take it slow" stuff was just something he did to differentiate himself from the rest of the boys, but he got so caught up in MC and being horny for her that he lost track of that false persona or 2) if the writers really played up his distress with how much he wants MC and it being counter to his values about relationships. Like if he seemed a little torn about moving too fast, but being too drawn to her to slow down. And you could add in his worry about Evan making him territorial, so he moves faster because he's worried about losing MC if he keeps slowing them down. This could lead to a really nice arc of MC reassuring him that she's happy with the pace he's set (or that she's not and she dumps him). Either of those would be interesting and would use this singular trait of his that is beaten into us, to its fullest. But they'd both require writers who intentionally made him inconsistent so they could use it to drive the plot. And welllllll... let's just say I'm not giving Fusebox the benefit if the doubt when it comes to their writing.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Anon! I was kind of worried that no one was gonna agree with me 🥰

Oh my god, I'm in love. This is stunning. Make it a tiny cottage instead of a giant house and then move me in immediately.

In terms of inconsistency when it comes to Alex’s pace, I would like to draw your attention to the reassurance scene you can have in the Villa with your boy, where they can assure you of their intentions after their original partner has been all over them. Alex notably says at some point in that conversation (and this is a bit that’s unique to Alex’s route) that he’s “husband material”, and when the MC says something like “not boyfriend material?”, Alex doubles down on how he wants that next level kind of thing.

Keep in mind during this point in the convo, your LI is trying to convince you to stay with them in case your having doubts. So a man who says they “move slow” has told a person he’s interested in that he’s “husband material” on like day 5 of knowing them. (And yes it’s a reality show where they’re isolated with only each other but STILL)

Now in Alex’s defense, and I highly doubt Alex is intentionally written this way and not just suffering from authorial inconsistency, BUT I DIGRESS. In defense of saying he wants slow but acting in a fast manner, I myself and a few other people I’m close with kinda do this in real life. For me personally, I’m usually quite slow with about 96% of the people I dated, doing the same things Alex did of being upfront about where my head’s at but going slow in the physical aspects and other things you would expect in a relationship. But that 4%, again for me personally, was fairly fast paced because I myself ended up being down bad and not even realizing I was on a speeding train towards feelings.

Long ask long, It’s more than likely Alex is just suffering because of bad writing, but there is the chance that Alex is a slow burner usually so that’s what he’s expecting, hence why he’s saying it. And MC is just that like, 4% person that he isn’t even aware he’s falling for at the speed of light. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for drawing my attention by sending this twice 😂 I received the first one, but I ended up with a lot of anons and didn't know where to begin.

Yeah, I played the new eps and I referenced this very thing in my post. He went ALL IN once we were in the main villa. It's not like I don't think there's a world where a person *could* be this way, it's just that it doesn't really work in fiction. At least not the way it's presented in the fiction of the game currently. The tricky part of writing is that it has to be both more real than real and then less real than real. For instance, I have a best friend who is a BIG personality. I mean over-the-top. Love her and love her gigantic energy. She has amazing stories. But she's also surrounded by friends who are writers and every one of us has attempted to base characters on her and they never, ever work. Like no one has managed it. Because no reader ever believes that her antics are "realistic." She even took a writing class herself and wrote a paper that was essentially just a story about herself and no one in the class found it believable 😂 Sometimes reality doesn't play in fiction.

I love the idea of Alex just sort of losing his shit when he has a super strong connection, so I don't disagree that it *could* work. I just don't think it's working right now, because yeah, I 100% think it's just poor writing. Nothing about it feels intentional.

That said, I still think even if he was coming at it from that perspective--like he's 96% slow-motion in relationships and MC is just part of the 4%-- it would still cause problems. Mainly that any MC worth her salt is gonna view him as being manipulative. Telling her what she wants to hear while still trying to get inside those underpants. Which would be interesting, but I just don't think that's what Fusebox going for. Though to be fair, I'm not sure Fusebox even knows what they're going for either.

Thanks for the message, Anon!

For real, though. I'll go to second base with you 🤣
