Beezlebub Was Raphael - Tumblr Posts
Ok so everyone talks about how Crowley might have been Raphael before the fall.....But what if it was Beezlebub????
I mean it makes sense, why else would they be the LORD of Hell while Hastur and Ligur are Dukes???? Why is there a heirarchy in Hell (Just like in Heaven) and Beezlebub is at the top of it (just below Satan, obviously)??? And also, everyone ships Beez and Gabriel because let's be honest, it's hilarious. But in the series, in the ONE SCENE they are together, they don't fight or bicker. In fact, they work together and seem to hold no ill will even though Beezlebub is LITERALLY THE LORD OF HELL. It's almost like they knew each other before the Fall. And wouldn't it make sense for Beezlebub to be a fallen Archangel if they are in the highest possible position in Hell and is in charge of all of the demons? JUST like Gabriel, Michael, etc, are in charge of all of the angels and have arguably the highest position in Heaven.
It would also add to maybe why Beez fell. Maybe they were the ones who liked the humans (Unlike the angels, Beezlebub is NEVER shown talking bad about humans) and Crowley followed Beezlebub. Not Satan. In fact, Crowley fell for "asking questions" (why the humans aren't seen as more than rats in a maze?) and "hung around with the wrong people" (Beezlebub).
It also explains why Beezlebub, or rather "Hell" likes Crowley so much even though he doesnt really do anything evil, AND why Hastur and Ligur don't trust Crowley (because he, along with Beezlebub, fell AFTER the rebellion)
Ok ok ok... Rant finished
Edit: I refer to Beezlebub as "they" because the angels/demons are beings who dont have a specific gender and I dont think they ever specify in the book or series what gender Beez presents as
