The Demon Brothers: Their Sense of Humor Headcanons
aaa my first post of headcanons! so this is me practicing writing about the demon bros and posting my writing for the first time to the internet 👉👈 i had fun writing this and i hope you can enjoy this too! 💕
Lucifer
A very teasing sense of humor, spoken with a small smirk on his face.
Somehow makes dirty jokes sound classy.
Makes puns and dad jokes with a straight face. He loves wordplay.
Appreciates clever jokes that needs you to think to understand them.
Dry humor. Tells jokes with a deadpan look on his face that sometimes ends up with you wondering whether or not he's being intentionally funny.
One of the brothers that has dark humor.
Mammon
This boyo is weak for puns. Especially the terrible ones.
Very cheeky and silly sense of humor. Can be a bit teasing.
He loves memes. Send him older memes and he'll crack up. Send him newer memes and he'll quickly search it up first before sending you back a variation of the meme that he finds hilarious.
Makes funny faces to you from across the room. Bonus point if you make funny faces back.
Makes jokes on the spot, improvising based on something that have just happened.
Laughs at his own jokes.
The kind of person that can't stop laughing before he can finish telling his joke.
Leviathan
One of the brothers who will laugh if you fall down. He'll definitely help you up, but only after he finishes laughing.
You'll have lots of inside jokes with him. It makes him happy if you two have inside jokes that only you two understand about.
Anime references sprinkled throughout his jokes.
"Hmm. Just according to keikaku."
Meme creator. He's up to date with the latest memes. Sometimes your messages with him only consist of you two sending memes back and forth.
Finds it hilarious when someone is getting roasted.
Laughs at self-depreciating jokes but if he tries to make them himself, he just sounds sad :(
Satan
Blunt and witty. Can be very dry.
Sarcasm galore.
Makes intelectual and well thought out jokes.
Topical humor. He'll make jokes that you'll understand only if you're up to date with current news and trends.
One time you've caught him reading a book on human history. He was hunching over on his seat, wheezing, because he "can't believe humans were that stupid."
On that note, tell him history jokes. This nerd loves them.
Offensive jokes but apologizes when your feelings are hurt.
Will chuckle at puns but you'll rarely hear him make one.
Asmodeus
Is weak for puns but insisted that he doesn't like them. Make some terrible puns around him and you'll find his lips twitching, trying really hard not to smile.
If you make a dirty joke around him, he'll be giggling. He'll tease you back with an even dirtier joke.
Also finds amusement when someone is getting roasted.
Most of the time, he's the one doing the roasting. He comes up with the best and hilarious insults.
Likes watching stand up comedies. You showed him a John Mulaney video once and he's been hooked since.
Surprisingly enjoys dark humor but you'll never hear him make one.
Beelzebub
Laughs at the silliest things.
Some puns goes over his head but when he gets them, he'll give you a wide, amused grin and tell you another pun as well.
Loves funny stories. He's got many funny stories that always make other people laugh when they hear it.
Laugh loudly when you send him the vine, "So I was sitting there, barbecue sauce on my titties..."
Is unintentionally funny a lot of the times.
Will definitely laugh when someone farts. He likes gag jokes.
Belphegor
Very dark humor.
Also loves self-depreciating jokes.
Slapsticks will get him chuckling.
He makes clever puns. He will let out a groan if you tell him horrible ones but he can't help smiling a bit.
He loves offensive and controversial jokes and he never apologizes for it.
A bit teasing sometimes.
The kind of person that will lean over and whisper funny comments to you while in a serious setting, causing you to cough to cover your laugh.
Belphegor's Favorite Scents
or alternatively, what does Belphie smell in an Amortentia Potion?🤔
Ozone and petrichor, the rumble of thunder, raindrops hitting dry soil.
“I like the rain,” Lilith said to him once, when they were so much younger—the two of them wet from head to toe, laughing and stomping in puddles.
He didn't understand why she liked it so much, but he joined her in the rain anyway. They went home shivering and Lilith had started sneezing halfway there, but the bright smiles on their faces stopped Lucifer from lecturing them for too long.
“I like the rain,” Belphie says, millennia later, Lucifer frowning at him as he leaves wet tracks across the entrance hall carpet.
Lucifer opens his mouth only to close it again. There's something in his eyes, the same thing that is mirrored on his youngest brother's face. Because Belphie isn't the only brother that misses Lillith. Not the only one who looks at the rain like it'll bring their little sister back. Not the only one that has thunderstorms on the roof of his heart.
And so, Lucifer sighs and doesn't lecture him for too long.
He smells caramel and roasted peanuts and butter.
“You'll feel as if you're floating through a sparkling, amethyst-hued dream. A dream glimpsed while gazing into a glass of wine lit by the night sky.”
It's a memory, he dimly realizes, one he used to remember fondly.
The cold evening air. Bright lights and loud music. Children laughing. The applause of a crowd as an acrobat lands safely on the ground. A man flying in the air, hands reaching the trapezes.
Broken promises of bringing Beel and Lilith to see the next performance.
“I promise you, it will be something truly special, like a wonderful, fleeting vision granted to you by the magic of a shooting star.”
The memory feels too bittersweet now; the magic has left him.
The soothing scent of lavender and jasmine.
It reminds him of his visits to Devildom Botanical Garden, falling asleep on of the benches, surrounded by purple and white. He liked the smell, he said once to Lucifer. The next time he went to the planetarium, he saw the same purples and whites in glass vases and pots.
Now, he connects the smell to the stars. To the meteor showers and the bright moon and the two stars that shines close to each other.
“Those twin stars,” he says softly on the rare occasions when his twin joins him in stargazing, “they're our stars, Beel.”
And they'll keep talking all night, recounting constellations, lying down shoulder to shoulder, until both of them are lulled back to sleep by the floral fragrant.
You join Belphie on nights when sleep eludes you. He is wide awake though everytime you do and he finds himself preferring to gaze at you rather than the stars.
When you fall asleep next to him, he makes you dream of galaxies.
Asmodeus’s Favorite Scents
Or alternatively, what does Asmo smell in an Amortentia potion?
The smell of muted saffron and something smoky.
Ozone. Mint blue flames flickering in the shadows. Spices and sparks. Burning ice and something sweet on the edge of the coldness. The air charges with old magic, something dangerous brewing under the surface that sends him shuddering in anticipation.
Asmo is mostly neutral towards Solomon but he can't deny the rush he feels when Solomon summons him, when he practices his magic. After all, it's the reason Asmo agrees to a pact with him in the first place.
His magic is different, one-of-a-kind, and oh so powerful. He doesn’t think he’ll find anything else quite like this.
(Until you.
You keep surprising him, summoning him without a pact and with a greater magic than his current pact-holder. You're a mystery he wants to learn and, oh, how delicious your magic feels in his blood.
“I've made up my mind. Make a pact with me,” he says to you.)
A floral scent that he recognizes as the smell of roses.
It makes Asmo think of the perfume that he has only worn once after buying it because he doesn’t want to waste it. Of his favorite pair of earrings, pink diamonds resembling the shape of flowers. Of the roses in his room, flowing down the footboard of his bed and placed in glass vases.
(“The purple ones means enchantment and love at first sight,” Asmo says with a wink, when you ask him about their meanings, “and the pink roses means adoration and love, just like how the world adores me!”
Except you, he wants to say, you who never fall for his charms, you who he cannot command to love him.)
It makes him think of sketches of clothes he designs just for you, pages upon pages of breathtaking dresses that he thinks will suit your style. Of pink paint splattered on his hands.
"I didn’t know you could paint, Asmo. Would you ever consider painting me someday?" you ask, half-joking.
He would. He have. His last work in progress is a painting of you, surrounded by roses, pink ones, and he wonders what drove him to paint the golden halo around your head.
He never shows you the painting.
Something familiar and sweet, that smells like honey and vanilla.
Asmo feels as if he’s smelled this somewhere before.
Like the bakery he always goes to when he wants freshly baked Wicked Cupcakes, like his scented candles scattered around his room, like hugging you as tight as he can without hurting you and feeling your heartbeat against him and burying his nose in your hair and—
Oh.
He sits down, a growing pit in his stomach. The realization he may like you more than he likes to think he does hits him hard, and he has to admit that he has been thinking of you more than he thinks about himself.
He never imagined it would be this scary, loving someone.
The Demon Brothers: Shopping Headcanons
the demon bros go to the mall together, how bad could it be? 🛍️🛒 they're definitely one of those loud families, y'know? the one that takes up the entire walkway or causes a mess somewhere that blocks the mall traffic😂
Lucifer
Has prepared a list of the things he needs to buy.
He knows what he wants to buy and where to get them and only goes to those stores.
Gives the parent of a loud and crying kid a very judgemental stare.
Usually buys his clothes in high-end boutiques but if he goes to the mall and something catches his eyes from the store window, he's willing to check it.
Will never be seen shopping in sweats. He's one of those people who go to the mall looking like they're going to a fashion show.
Satan asks him if he needs some help with the groceries and Lucifer's pride gets Very Hurt and Offended.
“I can handle it, thank you very much," he huffs. Which he regrets a little later, not that he will ever admit that he maybe needs some help.
Mammon
Begs Lucifer to buy him the newest watch. Lucifer refuses.
Tries to sneak food into the shopping cart when they're shopping for groceries but he's not very subtle about it.
Makes tiktok videos with Asmo in one of the aisles.
He either overspends—buying the most expensive and unnecessary things, blowing up his money like he just got his first paycheck—or he's the most frugal shopper you have ever met. There is no in between.
“Oh, I got some coupons for that.”
“Wait a sec, lemme check my phone, I have an online code for the discount..”
“I wanna use my reward points to pay for this. They ain't expired yet, I think.”
Gets into a fight with another customer at the sale racks and clearance sections.
Negotiates the price with the uncomfortable and annoyed cashier who just wants to finish ringing up his purchases because he is holding up the queue.
Leviathan
Manages to walk through the crowd without brushing shoulders with other people, all while his eyes stays on his phone. It's a talent.
The stroller. Walks really slow.
Doesn't try to sneak in more junk food and snacks anymore, just straight up tells Lucifer before putting his food in the cart and hopes Lucifer is in a giving mood.
Goes with Satan to the bookstore to check out the comic books and manga sections.
The kind of person to check the menu online first because deciding what to buy at the counter of the mall café is Very Stressful.
Goes to the electronics store because he wants to check that new headphones. Doesn't buy anything, orders it online when he gets home.
Goes to the arcade if the mall has one.
“Wait, let me check it online first, maybe we can get it for less the price if we order it through their website.”
Satan
Goes to the pet store just to see the animals.
“Satan disappears again.” “It's fine, he's probably in the bookstore as usual.”
Just quietly slinks off from the group and then joins them again sometime later, holding a bag of new books.
Gets mistaken as a store employee.
Sneaks in food to the grocery cart and actually succeeds. Lucifer only realizes that there are extra groceries in the cart when he's already at the cashier.
Gets asked to record the tiktok videos Mammon and Asmo are doing.
The person that judges you after he glances at your cart and see what kind of groceries you're buying.
Somehow gets out of helping Lucifer with the groceries.
Asmodeus
Goes inside every stores that sells clothes or accessories.
Yes, he will try all of these clothes even though he knows he's not buying most of them. He just likes playing dress up.
Takes selfies in the changing room.
Buys the new products of his favorite cosmetic brand. His palm has shades of pink on it from sampling the lipsticks.
“Sorry, I can't help carry those grocery bags, I'm just too delicate for such brutal hard work😔. I'll leave it all to you, my strong brothers😌.”
Overall is having a great time, even if he's just window shopping. He enjoys shopping for the experience and not just the things he buys.
That one person who holds up the line because he's flirting with the cashier.
Beelzebub
Puts a lot of food in the grocery cart.
“Beel, you can't open it yet, we haven't paid for it— oh shit, okay just— just don't throw away the empty packages and we'll let the cashier scan those later.”
Checks out the sports store because he broke his sport shoes from the last Fangol match.
Offers to wheel another cart so Belphie can sleeps in it while they're grocery shopping.
Refolds the clothes back and reorganizes the products on the shelves. He doesn't like it when they're messy.
Stops at every snack kiosk.
Walks faster when they've finally finished all the shopping and are now heading to the mall food court before going home.
Belphegor
“Can I just wait in the car? Just leave the window open a little and I'll be fine.”
Finds a bench or a seat and just stays there until one the brothers comes and tells him they're moving to the next store.
Will sit on the floor near a wall if he can't find a place to seat.
Insists that he needs more pillows and blankets. Lucifer compromises with him and he only gets the new blanket.
Browses through the toys store to see if there's a plushie he likes.
Sleeps on one of the beds in the furniture store. Sleeps in a grocery cart. Also sleeps standing up in the most inconvenient spot.
Lets out a loud, relieved sigh when they all finally sits down at the mall food court. Complains that his feet is killing him even though he spends 89% of the trip sitting on the mall benches.
The Demon Brothers: Creative Outlets Headcanons
they are all immortals and when you've lived longer than you can remember, you're bound to find a creative outlet to destress, alleviate boredom, or you know, to just have fun!
Lucifer
He’s a busy demon. If he’s not working, he's sleeping, or cleaning up one of his brother’s messes, so he doesn't have that much time to just relax and explore his creative sides.
That said though, it doesn’t mean he has no hobbies at all.
He plays the piano. He used to play it every morning, back when he’s still in the Celestial Realm, when he’d taught Lilith how to play the piano every morning and she’d sat besides him as his fingers moved across the keys slower so she could copy him.
Nowadays, playing the piano feels very nostalgic and bittersweet, but you’ll hear soft, bittersweet melodies drift from the music room once in a while.
He also composes his own music, but that's an even rarer occurrence. The last time he created a new music piece was centuries ago.
(Ever since MC came to Devildom though, he's been itching to write music for them.)
Practices calligraphy for fun. He has a whole set of brushes and ink and lettering pens. His handwriting is already beautiful but his calligraphy is even more amazing.
Another thing he does is gardening. He's got a great eye for landscape architecture, he's the reason why the house's backyard is pretty.
He plants decorative plants and likes to cross breed flowers so the House of Lamentation's backyard is full of pretty shrubs and unfamiliar flowers.
He is usually joined by Beel as he is the other brother that finds gardening very relaxing.
Mammon
He definitely shows his creativity by coming up with the most absurdly brilliant, out-of-the-box, original schemes to make money.
Mammon can draw, like really good. His drawings are very realistic. He prefers to use traditional media: charcoal pencils, graphite sticks, blenders, erasers, drawing pens, brushes, and maybe some watercolors.
He usually does architecture sketches.
But if you check his drawers, you’ll find several sketchbooks of his brothers in different candid poses. MC alone has taken up three whole sketchbooks. Mammon makes sure MC doesn’t see those sketches though.
Crashes Asmo’s Art Day regularly, claiming that if Levi’s invited then the Great Mammon should be too. Asmo and Levi always complains but they let him stay anyway.
Mammon also has a natural talent on jewelry making and metalwork. He makes jewelry from buttons, beads, pearls, diamonds, and crystals. From small pendants to elaborate neckpieces, simple anklets to ornate hairpins.
Mammon has made metal bookmarks for Satan because the book lover always misplaces his bookmarks or destroys them in fits of rage when he doesn't like a book's ending.
He sculpts wood. It takes him months to finish one small piece because he only does it when he's really, really bored, he prefers to make his much more profitable jewelry.
He keeps all of his sculptures in his room, small and detailed pieces of wood engraving of Devildom native animals lining up on one of the shelves.
Leviathan
This is canon but he draws! He doesn't think he's very good at it, but he really enjoys it.
Unlike Mammon who likes to draw with his charcoal pencils and drawing pens, Levi prefers to draw digitally. He still switch to traditional media now and then though.
Has a monthly scheduled “Art Day” where he and Asmo hang out together, Levi draws with his sketchbook or his drawing tablet and Asmo paints. They basically just gossip and hype each other’s art.
Dabbles in making short animations but feels like it’s just not something for him. He makes short comics though.
He wants to be able to make his own video game someday though. Maybe after he learns programming.
He makes the most detailed cosplay outfits for his own cosplays. He sews really good and patches his brothers clothes when they ask. Where do you think Asmo learns how to sew his own clothes from?
Really good at dancing and he really likes it too. He's a natural at it. From the most intricate traditional Devildom dances to freestyle dancing. He can make new moves on the spot and can copy any moves from one look.
He’s a shy baby though, you’ll rarely see him dance when he’s sober.
Except when he’s playing DDR (Demons Dance Revolution). Then, it’s like he’s the most confident demon in Devildom.
Satan
Satan writes poetry when inspiration strikes him. He has also written short stories but he always comes back to creating beautiful poems. He’s got a way with words.
Photography is something he has only recently taken interest in but he has a great eye for taking breathtaking shots.
Has become the family’s go-to photographer.
“Satan, take a picture of me and Mammon!” “Satan, take our picture, quick!” “Satan, help me get a picture for my Devilgram!”
He’s the reason Asmo’s Devilgram pictures always look like they’re taken professionally in a photo studio or something.
Satan loves art, likes to stroll through museums and stare at paintings for hours, but has little talent in creating them. Even so, he still likes to paint even if he's not good at it.
Sometimes he just wants to slap paint on a canvas and make a colorful mess. It's fun.
He joins Art Day every other month.
Another thing he does is knitting! It relaxes him. It gives him something to focus at when he's angry (um, angrier than usual), just to give his hands something to do that doesn't involve breaking anything. The simple patterns he makes are easy enough that they don't frustrate him.
Rarely ever finishes his knitting though, you'll just find this 5 meters long knitted fabric in one corner of his room with the ends coming undone because he calms himself down enough to stop knitting.
Asmodeus
Regularly designs, cut, and sew his own clothes.
Has a lot of sketchbooks full of drawings of flowy dresses and stylish coats and many aesthetically pleasing shirts.
He has started his own clothing line and sometimes collaborate with Majolish.
But for the most part, he designs clothes for himself and himself only, he doesn't want anyone else to wear clothes as fabolous as his.
Nail art? Nail art.
Asmo paints all of the brothers nails and sometimes he'll persuade one of them to let him do a complete manicure, with glitter polish and shiny studs and all.
Yes, even Lucifer. You just never see the results because Lucifer wears his gloves almost all the time.
Asmo creates beautiful makeup art. He doesn't really like a lot of makeup on his own face though, so his brothers' faces are his canvases.
He also has a great eye for interior decorating and flower arranging. He restyles his room every month.
Not many people know it but he paints. And he's very good at it. He has done a painting of each brother, the paintings can be seen on the walls of the House of Lamentation's hallways.
Art Day with Levi (and sometimes Satan or Belphie) is spent with him in front of canvases, chatting with his brothers, paint splatters on his hands. It's the only day that he doesn't mind looking a little messy.
Beelzebub
He cooks, of course! And bakes too!
It's one of the times he’s willing to wait to eat because cooking the ingredients first rather than just straight up eating them will make the foods taste better.
Half of the food in the kitchen are his creations. Anything he can make on his own from scratch, he will; jams, ice cream, sauces, juices, bread, chips, etc.
Likes to experiment and always do something different than the original recipes.
He garnishes his cooking like it’s something you order from a five star restaurant.
Beel is another demon who has a green thumb. He likes taking care of plants and doesn't mind getting a bit dirty doing it so gardening is another hobby of his.
If Lucifer plants ornamental plants, Beel grows useful plants like herbs and vegetables and small fruits. He's also good at topiary.
Always has an idea for a DIY project.
His creations is scattered all over the House of Lamentation. Belphie's drawer divider is made out of yogurt cups. Broken drawer knobs recycled into Asmo's jewelry organizer. The coat rack. The bathroom towel holder.
Even Lucifer's hanging Demonus rack is handmade by Beel when he's bored one weekend, with Mammon's help for the engraving decorations along the sides of the rack. Beel's got a bit of Bob the Builder in him.
He is very good at singing. His voice is clear and he has a broad vocal range. Has been caught unconsciously humming in class many times.
Has definitely sang Belphie to sleep.
Belphegor
Does his pranks counts as a creative outlet though?😂 Between him and Satan, Belphie's ideas are the most creative and out of the box, resulting on some of the best pranks they did.
Belphie does origami. It's relaxing, easy enough to learn, and doesn't take much effort and energy to do it.
Has stacks of origami papers in his room: standard origami paper, foil paper, traditional Washi ones, the leather-like Momigami paper, all kinds of paper.
He especially loves to make little origami stars and keeps them in glass jars in his room.
Belphie also has adult coloring books.
And kids coloring books.
Coloring is relaxing to him. It's very calming to just lay down and fills a page with pretty colors for a while. It's not a tiring way to destress, he can color without moving from his bed, and it feels satisfying when he finishes a whole page.
He sometimes joins Art Day if he's not too lazy to move. Still prefers to color alone where it's quiet though.
He also journals. It's another thing he can do that is inexpensive and not energy consuming. He writes about anything that comes to his mind, his thoughts, his ideas, memories.
Definitely keeps a dream journal.
Also I headcanon that as the Avatar of Sloth, sleep and dreams are some of the things he can manipulate. He enjoys creating dreams; the worldbuilding, the story, the details. He can be really creative when it comes to making them, spinning the most vivid and imaginative dreams.
They’re not necessarily good dreams though. After all, he is still a demon, his dreams will most likely mess up your mind than make you smile in your sleep.

Reacting to MC Complimenting Them
this is very self-indulgent😌😌
anyway, the MC is written as gender-neutral “you” and it’s kinda long but i hope you enjoy reading this!💕
Mammon
Oh, this boy lives for your compliments.
It’s not like he’s never gotten a compliment before. Usually though the flattery is only because someone is trying to get something from him or it’s spoken sarcastically to mock him.
So, when you compliment him, his first response it to narrow his eyes at you, confusion flits across his face as he tries to see what it is you want.
Then he sees the look in your eyes and the lack of mocking tone, and he realizes you’re being sincere with your praise.
His eyes widen, disbelief and surprise fills him, heat spread to the tip of his ears and across his face.
“Wha– ya can’t just say somethin’ like that outta nowhere!”
No matter how many times you compliment him, he will always be flustered by it, cheeks darkening as he thanks you, softly giving you a compliment back.
You can see that he’s really happy about it; he can’t stop smiling the whole day! He’s got this goofy smile in his face as if he just won a lottery ticket. Your compliments are his confidence booster.
He’s not used to people saying nice things about him so he wants you to know that he’s very grateful for your kind words.
Expect some gifts and extra clinginess, he’ll want to spend even more time with you now.
Just, just praise him. Even something as simple as telling him that you like spending time with him will make him melt. Mammon craves validation.
Leviathan
Blush galore.
HIs brain short-circuited. Did you really say that about him? Him? He’s another that blushes easily, embarrassed eyes darting towards anything other than you, hands coming up to cover his face.
He’s taken aback, especially if you compliment him out of the blue, but he feels really happy.
Well, at least until his insecurities come creeping back into his head and then he’ll doubt the sincerity of your praise.
Is he sure that you meant to say that to him? Maybe you’re actually making fun of him. What if you only said it because you felt sorry for him? There’s no way you actually think he’s anything but a weird, yucky otaku. After all, there are lots of better demons, more talented than him, more interesting, more attractive than him.
That’s why he’s quick to say, “No, I’m not... I’m not really- There’s no way that what you say is true! Don’t make fun of me!”
You have to be patient with him, he can’t accept compliments at all, but you can help him to slowly break this bad habit of his. It’s hard for him to see his own value sometimes.
Over time, he’ll catch himself before he starts self-depreciating and after a while, he might even be brave enough to stutter out a compliment back to you.
“I think you look stunning... Not– not like that! Wait, I mean, yes like that but I– I mean–” ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Please take mercy on this boy and stop him before he passes out from embarrassment.
Asmodeus
He’s used to getting compliments. He’s Asmodeus, the Avatar of Lust, the most beautiful being in all three realms. He’s gorgeous and amazing, he knows it, people also know it.
But you, oh, you just keep surprising him, don’t you?
Because he’s used to compliments about his looks, his mesmerizing eyes, his clothes, the softness of his skin, his smile, and so on...
However, you compliment him on his thoughtfulness, how you think he’s a great listener, that you love how he always seems to see the beauty in everything and everyone, that he’s a great friend, that he’s a very creative person, and he just–???
His flirty smile will turn softer, a touch bashful, and the look in his eyes will tell you that he’s surprised but very touched by your words because he rarely gets complimented on anything other than his appearance.
His heart feels like bursting out of his chest and he wants nothing more than to drown you in kisses and hug you close. He’s absolutely filled with adoration and love!
He’ll be quick to say something nice about you too, telling you how adorable you are, how you mean the world and more to him, and maybe he’ll even offer to show you how grateful he is for your kind words ;)
“Oh, sweetheart, you know just what to say! Compliments from you always make me happier than when other people say it. Come on, now it’s my time to show you just how much I appreciate you.”
Lucifer
He absolutely loves it whenever you compliment him. Your words feed into his pride and ego.
Your compliments make him stand straighter, chin tilted up a bit higher. It makes him very happy and satisfied to know that he has impressed you.
His reactions depend on where you give your compliments. If it’s in public, he’s very cool about it. He doesn’t want other people to know just how much your words affect him. The only indication that he’s actually really grateful for your compliments is in the way his gaze softens when it lands on you.
But it’s different when you’re in a more private settings where he can let his walls down for you and worry less about his reputations.
If you time your compliments right, you’ll be rewarded by the sight of his eyes widening in surprise and the tips of his ears turn bright red in record time.
You’ll notice the subtle blush that spreads across his cheeks and his smirk turns into something softer and he will look at you as if he’s wondering what he did to deserve you.
He’s falling more and more in love with you and he’ll show you just how much he appreciates your kind words. He’ll be softer around you for the few hours, taking a break from his work to spend more time with you, giving almost anything you ask for.
Although, be prepared to be complimented back with a more passionate praise. He will make you as flustered as you made him, if not more.
The Demon Brothers: Road Trip Headcanons
the demon bros go on a family vacay!🌃🌉 where? in devildom? the human realm? who knows! but they’re stuck in a car for hours together, they’re bound to drive each other crazy😌
Lucifer
Lucifer is definitely the one driving. Switches with Mammon halfway the trip.
They got lost at least twice. Someone keeps distracting Lucifer while he’s driving, causing him to take the wrong turn or missing an exit.
“Everybody out of the car! The next rest stop isn't for hours.”
Lucifer threatens to leave anyone that spends any longer than an hour in the gas station but it's mostly an empty threat and the rest of the brothers treat it as such.
Also threatens to leave one of his brothers right here in the middle of nowhere if they don't stop bickering. His threats aren’t really working...
You bet your ass Lucifer brought some travel size Demonus.
Acts like the road trip is such a big hassle to him but is lowkey glad that he can spend some time with his family together and away from work.
Mammon
Is probably the one that suggested the road trip in the first place.
Fights with Asmo over who gets control of the car radio.
Someone keeps kicking the back of the seat and he will find out who it is sooner or later.
He gets shotgun because of ‘big brothers privileges’.
“Y’all can cramp back there until one of you learn to drive or have your own car.”
Mammon is the kind of person that likes to buy souvenirs from every single tourist attractions. Thankfully, his brothers are there to be his impulse control.
Points out every single thing they pass by.
"Look, mountains!" "Wait, wait, is that a sheep?!" "That diner looks weird, let's go there!"
Has tried to fight a wild animal at one point of the trip.
Leviathan
Levi plays games on his handheld the whole car trip and surprisingly doesn't get motion sickness at all.
Complains when he doesn’t get a signal because his game freezes when he’s in the middle of a raid.
Keeps asking to turn up the car's AC when it's already freezing.
Levi sits there quietly, the sound of Asmo and Mammon bickering muffled in the background, glad that he didn’t forget to bring his headphones so he can listen to his own songs in peace.
He sings out loud though, and it’s annoying the rest of the brothers at first but it turns into a family karaoke in the car. They all end up badly singing along to songs for hours. At this point, Lucifer is just glad that his brothers aren't fighting anymore.
Can never sit still. It drives Satan mad.
Satan
“Everyone, please, can we have ONE MOMENT OF PEACE OR ELSE I’M GOING TO START THROWING ONE OF YOU OUT OF THIS CAR, thank you.”
He’s already cranky the first hour of the trip.
Is probably the one who keeps kicking Mammon’s seat.
He brings some of his books and reads quietly for half the trip until he gets motion sickness. He’s lowkey jealous at Levi who can keep looking down on his phone without feeling sick.
Satan gives very detailed information and ‘fun’ facts about any tourist attraction they're going to or passing by with an excited, “did you know that—” The other brothers patiently listen to each and every ramble.
Takes pictures of everything. Also gets dragged around by Asmo because Asmo found “the most aesthetic place ever!” and he wants good pictures.
Asmodeus
First of all, there is no such thing as packing light when it comes to this demon family trip but Asmo is on a whole other level. Half of the baggage is Asmo’s stuff.
Already starts a fight with Mammon twenty minutes into the road trip, complaining that he has the best music taste so Mammon shouldn’t be allowed to change the car radio channel.
Asmo refuses to eat gas station food. Thankfully, Lucifer doesn't really like them anyway, so they stop at a restaurant.
Complains alongside Levi when there’s no phone signal.
“Lucifer, drive a little slower! I need to retouch my makeup.”
Starts a game of truth or dare and has been one of the reasons Lucifer almost crashes the car twice. Truth or Dare is now banned in the car.
Beelzebub
Beel, ten minutes into an eight-hour road trip: "When can we stop and eat?"
How does he know the best place to eat at every trip destinations? No one knows but, hey, they’re not complaining.
He’s also in charge of making sure there is enough snack for everyone.
Get scolded by Lucifer for drinking fluids because now he has to pee again.
Beel is the brother that starts telling funny stories that turns into “remember that time when you...” and they all bring back every embarrassing stories they know of each other. (That's how they find out that Lucifer never ever forgets anything that has happened.)
He wants to see every tourist attractions but sadly they don’t have time for all of them :(
Belphegor
He sleeps through most of the car trip, what did you expect?
He snores when he's in a very deep sleep so Belphie keeps everybody awake, except for Beel who's already used to it from being his roommate.
Always wants to seat near the window.
“....I spy with my demon eye–” “Shut up, Belphie.”
Belphie comes up with the idea of telling scary stories. He also causes Mammon to jump in his seat and scream so loudly that Lucifer almost crashes the car. Scary stories are now also banned in the car.
Says, “are we there yet?” every hour just to be annoying.
Always complains about leg room from the back of the car.
Reacting to MC who Sleeps in Awkward Positions
demon bros reacting to mc who sleeps in weird and funny ways that's actually really comfy for mc😴
Lucifer
Does a little double take because he can’t believe you’re able to stay asleep so soundly while being in such uncomfortable looking positions.
Will wake you up to tell you to fix your sleeping position.
After the first few times of you insisting that you're very comfortable with the way you sleep, he stops waking you up.
Still moves you quietly in your sleep though, he's just afraid you'll hurt your neck or something.
He tucks you in, fixes your blanket so you won’t get cold, and kiss your forehead before going back on his way, maybe chuckling under his breath from the funny poses you make in your sleep.
Mammon
If you just happen to fall asleep in funny positions like sleeping upside down on a couch or unintentionally doing a pose in your sleep, he just laughs about it.
Maybe takes some photos about it and teases you later when you wake up.
If you fall asleep with your limbs bend around in weird angles, he’s going to freak out a little.
Will immediately wake you up and make you move to better positions.
Keeps checking in on you for the next few hours to make sure you don’t move back to your weird sleeping positions.
Leviathan
He thinks your sleep positions are hilarious.
Takes a picture of you and send it to the House of Lamentation group chat.
“Look at the way this normie sleeps lol”
After you wake up, he will ask you if you're comfortable sleeping in such uncomfortable looking positions.
If you say that you're uncomfortable, he’ll wake you up the next time he finds you sleeping awkwardly. If you say that you're comfortable, he won’t do anything about it.
Satan
A bit concerned, but if you say you're comfortable, he’ll just nod and accept it.
He’s a bit fascinated about it though, in a somewhat clinical way.
Like, what makes you sleep that way? Is there a psychological reason behind this? Does sleeping in certain positions has any benefits for your human body?
The more strange and uncomfortable your sleeping positions, the more amazed and curious he is.
Will just put a blanket over you without moving you from your funny and strange positions.
Asmodeus
Immediately wince when he sees the way you sleep.
“Oh, that cannot be good for their body!”
Will wake you up softly and guide you to a better position, even if you insist that you were comfortable.
He just can’t stand to see you sleep in such uncomfortable positions.
Offers to sleep next to you and holds you really close to him, just to make sure you don’t move to another awkward position of course ;)
Beelzebub
He’s used to Belphie who sleeps like all his day job is a contortionist.
Will just take a seat beside you and continue eating his snacks.
Although, if you fall asleep in a position that is uncomfortable looking enough to make him wince a little, he'll slowly and quietly try to move you into a better position without waking you up.
Otherwise, he'll leave you alone.
If you complain about hurting your neck or something from sleeping the wrong way, he’ll wake you up the next time you sleep awkwardly.
Belphegor
He sleeps in inconvenient places and in extremely uncomfortable looking positions all the time. He gets it.
Knows that it most likely is much more comfy than it looks.
Won’t let anyone wake you up just to make you move positions. He knows he hates it when someone wake him up just to make him move; he doesn't want your sleep to be disturbed.
“They're fine, they’re sleeping, don't bother them.”
Definitely joins you and sleeps beside you in an equally awkward position.
Holding Hands With the Demon Brothers
Lucifer
Lucifer holds your hand with a soft yet firm grip, comforting and gives you a sense of security, his thumb caressing your knuckles.
He likes holding hands with you. He’s not too much into PDA, but hand holding is an appropriate and tasteful way to show others that you’re his.
His hands are calloused and really warm. However, it’s not often that you get to hold hands without his gloves on.
Lucifer is one of the taller brothers so holding hands while walking together can be a bit awkward if you’re quite shorter than him. That’s why he usually opts for putting his hand on your back or offering his arm to you.
Mammon
He goes for your hand slowly, a bit shy and hesitant, giving you enough time to move away if you want.
If you hold hands often enough, he’ll get more comfortable over time and hand holding will be something both of you do all the time.
He’ll make puppy eyes at you if you let go of your hands just for a minute.
Really likes to swing your hands together when holding hands.
Leviathan
His hands are very cold because his normal body temperature is really, really low. Sometimes it can be too cold for you to properly hold hands with him. But, hey, on the bright side, no sweaty palms!
Levi is shy about any kind of PDA so hand holding with him is better done when there’s not a lot of people around.
You’re almost always going to be the one that initiate the hand holding because he just can’t get himself to do it. He keeps overthinking things :(
He likes the kind of hand holding where the two of you interlock your pinkies together.
Satan
When you hold hands with him, he always wants to intertwine your fingers together. He just wants to be as close as he can with you. Also, he thinks it’s more romantic.
You have this thing where he gently squeezes your hand three times as a silent “I love you”. He always blushes a little when you squeeze back three times but he can’t stop the smile that spreads on his face.
Holding hands with you calms him down. Just do the squeeze when he’s in the middle of losing his temper and he’ll just stop, mind processing your action, before his shoulders relaxed and he squeezes back.
Now and then when his hands are intertwined with yours, he’ll bring both your hands up and give a soft kiss on your wrist or on the back of your hand.
Asmodeus
He really loves it when you two hold hands. It’s an intimate gesture that doesn’t necessarily have to be sexual.
His hands feel soft. Like, you know his hands are soft before, you’ve seen him use hand creams and all sorts of beauty products, but when you touch him, it feels much much softer than you thought it would be.
The way he holds your hand varies. Sometimes it’s just a loose grip, sometimes he wants your fingers to interlock, sometimes he takes your hand in both of his.
He’s playful and a bit teasing, running a finger down your arm first before finally clasping your hand.
Beelzebub
His hands are warm, the warmest out of all his brothers.
Beel’s grip on your hand is loose, he’s a bit worried that he might hurt you from holding you too tightly.
He has pretty big hands and likes to feel the way his hand cups your smaller ones.
He’s a tall guy, so the height difference between you and him might make holding hands when walking together a bit difficult to do comfortably, so he prefers linking arms with you instead. That way he can also hold his food to share with you.
Belphegor
Hand holding with him is very relaxed, your hands on top of each others, his finger rubbing circles on your palm.
If you’re the one that’s rubbing circles on his palm, he’ll fall asleep really quickly. It’s very calming.
You usually hold hands while cuddling and laying in bed together. He likes playing with your fingers until both of you fall asleep.
Now and then, he’ll gently squeeze your hand in his sleep to make sure you’re still there next to him.
What’s In Their Phones?
check out my masterlist to see more headcanons!
Lucifer: his phone has task management and planner apps, news app, a game that he downloaded to help Levi fulfil his ‘add 10 friends’ quest (Lucifer secretly starts to play the game in his free time too), an app that reminds him to take breaks and eat/dehydrate, a grocery list, and candid photos of you and his brothers.
Mammon: there’s a lot of screenshots of things he wants to buy, multiple e-banking app, money management app to keep track of his earnings and expenses, random pictures of you and him together, store coupon texts, and somehow there’s always at least 3 missed calls from ‘DO NOT ANSWER!!!’
Leviathan: lots and lots of games, videos of his brother’s shenanigans, a VPN app, an Akuzon app with a premium account, 300+ downloaded songs (they’re either anime-themed or Sucre Frenzy songs), tons of memes, and a note app which has a detailed list of the amount of money that Mammon still owes him.
Satan: overall his phone has a few productivity and task planner apps, cute animals pictures, downloaded cat videos, an app to read e-books, a meditation app (it calms him down), 250+ contact names (he knows a lot of people), puzzle games, and beautiful photos of you taken in secret.
Asmodeus: multiple social media apps, photo editor apps, screenshots of chat messages to send to Levi (the two of them have a lot of “can you believe this???” conversations), an app to customize phone icons, online shopping apps, and his camera roll is full of gorgeous selfies with good lighting and angles.
Beelzebub: fitness and workout tracker, embarrassing pictures of the residents of the house of lamentation (he never actually uses them to blackmail anyone, Belphie however...), games he finds cute, Devilflix, 1 unread voicemail (he was in the shower), and an app to search for restaurants around him and browse their menus.
Belphegor: white noise app to help him sleep, some lo-fi songs, an adult coloring app, 99+ tabs opened in the browsers, recordings of you telling him to wake up (that he now uses as his alarm), 27 unread emails, and a universal remote app because he’s always too lazy to search for the TV remote.
Silly Things You Fight Over
here, have some petty fights with lucifer, mammon, levi, and belphie 😤😤
finally got back to writing after two whole weeks of midterms. got a bit of writing block so this is some writing warm ups to get the creative juices flowing💫
Lucifer
You keep forgetting to turn off the lights at night, he keeps forgetting to close cabinet doors, and someone keeps keeps stealing the hangers from your respective sides of the wardrobe. (It’s actually both of you.)
Somehow, he always takes the trash out 3 seconds before you need to throw something away and it frustrates you to the Celestial Realm and back.
Can you believe that you actually have had fights about who’s more tired between the both of you…
Also, you know the kind of fights where the two of you are agreeing to somethig but neither of you realizes it until one goes, “Wait, why are we arguing about this? We’re both saying the same thing! Neither of us wants to go to Diavolo’s party!” and then you both kiss and go on with your lives. That’s it. That’s your kind of fights.
Mammon
If you so much as look at the TV remote when he’s watching his show…
Once when you were playing monopoly, you bought the property he wanted and he sulked for the rest of the day. This happens every single time you two play monopoly.
“You squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube, not the middle!” “It’s just toothpaste!”
Both of you once had a full blown fight about how to spend hypothetical lottery winnings. It was apparently hilarious to the rest of the House of Lamentation and they never live it down.
Leviathan
I kid you not, the two of you once had an argument about the last slice of pizza and it escalated into a sword fight (because of course Levi keeps TSL swords in his bedroom). It was a fun and exciting duel until Levi broke the cursed vase in the hallway and Lucifer found out about it. Now you have a rotation schedule on who gets the last slice of pizza.
“How much percentage do you have?” “12% but—” “Give me the charger!”
Every week, on game night, you always fight over who gets which controller, even though they’re both the same, identical controller.
One time, you watched one (1) episode of anime without him and Levi wouldn’t talk to you for three whole weeks because “you cheated on me, MC! I trusted you!”
Belphegor
Belphie: *wakes up after an eight-hour sleep* “And another thing—”
Catch the two of you having a blanket tug of war and grumbling to each other in half-asleep states until one of you decides to roll over and flop on top of the other to get some body warmth.
You watched Inception with Belphie one night and the two of you had a long, heated debate that dragged on for weeks over whether the guy was still dreaming or awake at the end of the movie.
Belphie and you once got into an un-good-natured pillow fight, complete with feathers flying, sheets thrown across the room, and a lot of yelling. At one point Belphie even tried to throw his mattress at you. Lucifer was livid at the mess you both made, especially when he heard that it was all because “you” were being mean to Belphie in a dream.
moira. (satan x reader)
au where soulmates have one another’s names tattooed on them. wrote this as a warm up so it’s short, but i hope you enjoy it✨
When you were born, your mother saw the name written on the inside of your right wrist and he fainted, clutching the cross around her neck. Your father cried for his child’s fate.
Since then, they tried their best to make sure you go to church every week, teaching you how to fold your hands and pray, encouraging you to read the bible until you remember its content inside out. “You can still be saved,” your mother said to you one Sunday after the sermon as your father talked with the priest in a worried tone.
You don’t mind. You think it’s a great opportunity to learn about your soulmate, or at the very least, your soulmate’s species. You drink up every narrative about demons—the Legion, the demon in the desert, the snake with the forbidden fruit, and anything that is nowhere near holy. You don’t stop there though. Studying demonology books, secretly meeting up with witches, searching anywhere for any clues about your soulmate.
And so, years later, when you find yourself taken to Devildom one evening, you’re not as scared as they expect a human might be.
“...and that one there is Satan, the fourth eldest of us.”
Your eyes meet striking green eyes and the demon returns your smile with a knowing one. “Nice to finally meet you.”
