Late to the Satan worship party

Lucifer in agony, just in Time for his Birthday!

"Demon" (Angel) form redesigns!

Bonus part one: Simeon 🪽

Obey Me made me world build like nothing else and I feel like sharing it. These are kinda-sorta headcanons, but it's more like the stuff I've imagined outside of stuff even relevant to the games.

Immortality Lore:

Demons are immortal, but previously could die when killed (meaning if the body/spirit is destroyed enough, they would stop recovering). Under Diavolo's reign, death is not allowed without his permission. Yes, he can do that.

This is another of his staple well-intended decrees that cause many downstream issues. Murder becomes torture, assassination is now very, very difficult (though not impossible).

Nobility exists (princes, dukes, presidents, etc as per the Ars Goetia) but it's not necessarily a flex bc like. Pre-Diavolo, you inherit your title when your predecessor dies. When your whole family is fr immortal, the generational wealth/power stretches thin

Because of this, somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of demons can claim nobility. Hell will always have some flavor of aristocracy because even if all Duchess Eisipho claims is a tiny apartment shared with three roommates, she doesn't really want to give up that title.

Post-Diavolo, achieving death/close enough goes the following ways:

You go through the euthanasia process, sign forms, go through proper channels, and are permitted to die with dignity. Takes a while and suffers from the indignity of convincing someone else to let you die.

You can't bear to wait that long. You go to insecure or not properly warded off areas around the circles of hell (different headcanon: hell is made up of clusters of circles that are divided by sin, all separated by empty voids). Looking into the voids is not the same as looking into the sky and doing so long enough triggers void madness. Your brain is gone. You might feel freedom in this.

You go MIA and nobody can track down your magical signature. After a certain amount of years, your family can petition that the king allow your body to die rather than continue suffering, assuming that's what's happening to you. If you're fine, you won't be killed right away but from that point on you are functioning on immortal but not invulnerable, you CAN be killed. Some circles are proactive and auto-apply death petitions to cold cases after time has passed (which of course causes other problems)

Execution. Death penalty. He's the king, he's allowed to just kill you lol

[Long con assassin mode] - if you're clever, rich, and resourceful enough, you can kill someone through death of a thousand cuts, specialized poisons and curses, or orchestrate some way for you to fuck up so bad the king has no choice but to execute you.

Only exemptions are deep sea deaths because those are largely unexplored. Nobody up to is completely sure what the sea demons are doing down there or how they work.

THAT would be so nice~💚💚!! tho i feel satan would not be content staying at home and truly longs for something to do but this will free up his time for me which perhaps is a more pressing matter =w=)/

Warning, long post ahead. Second warning: this is a problematic trope and I like it anyway. Very much a fictional scenario that is horrible irl

I don't know where to start with this one because it's a staple otoisekai scene and if you're not careful, to it sounds a lot like glorifying aristocratic violence against the working class.

The crux of it is:

You have reincarnated as a rich noble somehow. Sick right?

You have reincarnated as one of the most hated nobles in the country and your noble parents don't care about you. Not so great.

You are at the mercy of servants who technically are off lower status than you, but get away with/are encouraged to make your life hell on earth

This trope typically occurs if you were a doormat, cowardly, timid, terrified of confrontation/being disliked, or otherwise a victim that never stopped up for yourself in your previous life.

This sets up a very particular wish fulfillment fantasy - that is, putting your bully effigies in their place without fear of retaliation

So you have the set up:

And the payoff:

It should be obvious why these scenes are popular (and usually fairly shallow) - smug bitch who's less pretty, less smart, and less cool-headed than your endlessly beauteous self-insert, what's not to love?

There's always a motive for why the slap has to happen- the maid will betray you in the future, they're complicit in your previous death, they specialize in serving three course meals of rotting garbage:

No matter what it is, it happened because you allowed yourself to be disrespected. Imagine if you could solve all your problems like this.

It might say something bad about me, how much I enjoy maids getting put in their place. The power imbalance of a maid maid realizing her freedom to act so cocky was actually a privilege given by her master and that privilege is now permanently revoked:

The transition from unwarranted arrogance to despair:

Most importantly, "I never told you to raise your head," "Were you given permission to stop bowing?" and "I never said you could speak to me" are all god tier statements (in fiction). I eat this shit UP.

Someone apologizes and you have the authority to tell them to shut the fuck up. They get flustered and apologize again, clearly meaning no bad intent. And you may freely punish them for it, as is your divine right😌

It's specifically the abuse of power that takes these from from good to great.
