hi asmodeus is actually a really self concious and lonely person, who is only able to make a limited connection through sexual pleasures with other people and not through actual bonding. heās desperate for everyoneās attention and approval because he doesnāt have anyone who actively and continually supports and acknowledges him as a person, rather than the avatar of lust. he pretends heās clingy to MC to have them sleep with him, but his clinginess represents more that of a touch stared child(ironically). especially after MC pacts with him, immediantly after heās all cuddly with them, something that wasnāt really a thing before.
asmodeus wants your constant attention and affection because the only other attention he gets are the same sexual ones. which iām sure he enjoys, but a being of lust is also a being of love, the two emotions being closer than people like to realize. asmodeus doesnāt just want someone to be in bed with him, but he wants someone who will give him all of their heart and love. point proven in the latest chapters where asmodeus makes the bet with MC.
asmodeus could have easily said āIf i win you have to sleep with meā but instead he said āif i win you have to say you love meā. if he really was just only horny and wanted to see you naked, he wouldāve made that very clear. but in that deliberate moment where he pulled you aside to be /alone/, but not in a private area, he wanted to have a moment of actual emotional connection with you. when he loses of course heās distraught, he doesnāt get to hear you say you love him :c
instead he cries, not very sexy, and says he doesnāt want you to leave. like this man straight up is crying in the club, come on. and if you choose the ākiss himā response he doesnāt be all creepy about it, he perks up a bit and happily says āI love you!ā.
another part of that scene is where asmo says how heās only ever thought of himself, but suddenly he thinks about you just as much, if not more. he says thatās not really like him, but it honestly is. someone who is used to only having themselves give them attention and love is going to be absolutely captured by someone else who does the same. MC actually caring about asmo and caring for him as more than a friend but less than a sexual partner is something new for him. heās like a little kid, latching onto the first signs that someone actually cares for him.
thereās way more instances than this one scene, especially the scenes at diavoloās castle where simeon calls out asmo on ājust wanting someone to love himā. if that wasnāt the case, then asmo wouldnāt have gotten so defensive. he wouldnāt have turned to you, a 3rd party, and ask you to agree with him. he wouldāve just been like ānah that aint it famā. like!! on his special guests interactions he even asks ādo you think weāre a good pair?ā and he looks so upset. āthats bc you got like one star!ā maybe!! but maybe thatās also him being insecure in his feelings!!
deal me your worst, asmodeus dislikers, as his biggest stan i will fight you back. this post was made by the asmodeus gangā”
