Where A Demon Has A Surplus Of Sin And Nothing To Counteract It - Tumblr Posts
I thought I’d share this head canon with you and see your thoughts on it. Food in the devildom is made the same as the human realm, but as it is told by Lucifer that purer souls taste better. It is also mentioned that hells coffee becomes more bitter the more you love the person. It seems like food is less of its contents and more of the intention of the cook. Perhaps, not saying he is though, Solomon can actually cook well but because his intention is sinful or all for his personal gain it therefore tastes bad. MCs cooking is good regardless of your character for them because their intentions are good. They love the brothers and thus the food is delicious. Same with Barbados giving to Diavolo without desire for a personal gain makes his cooking great. Characters may cook with mixed emotions. Mammon might love his brothers but if his intention changes from “let me do something nice for ya” to “maybe they’ll pay me for my hard work!” It adds that extra bit that makes it taste off.
the 👏 secret 👏 ingredient 👏 is 👏 love
Ok but that makes a huge amount of sense!! It's less about the physical food itself and more about the emotions attached to it - the process as a means of becoming
If we think about a demon's regular diet (i.e: souls), they're used to consuming what amounts to a person's being - their memories, their dreams, their thoughts, their feelings. But souls are a finite resource and so there has to be a way to make it stretch. Thus - what can they consume that is a) formed and created over time, b) influenced by emotion and desire, and c) often has sentimental meaning - memory, if you will?
To physically make food from scratch, no matter if you're a line chef or at home baking, there is intent. You're cracking eggs like your guardian showed you once. You're mixing in this brand of flour because an older respected relative used to use it all the time. You're making this meal because you know it will make your friend smile - these are all things that influence the way a dish tastes. And it's just enough to give the food you make a soul of its own.
However, if you're making food with purely selfish intentions at heart, or maybe even feeling particularly negative about what you're doing, then that's the opposite of what can sate a demon. Demons have a surplus of sin - they need food with other 'nutrients' like love and joy.
I really, really love this hc bc it's honestly very sweet in a way 💛 thank you for sharing it!
