And then Husk comes over, carefully lays down on top of him, wrapping him up in his wings and purring

Headcanon:

At first whenever Satan was on dinner duty he would make foods Lucifer couldn't stand texture wise. There were no alternatives available, just what Lucifer couldn't eat. At that point they butted heads and fought even more frequently than now. Lucifer eventually gave up fighting Satan on this particular matter and resigned himself to eating in his study after dinner. (Satan knew Lucifer's texture issues instinctively, making them rather easy to seek out.)

The more Satan learned about norms and feelings, the more he adopted them. Yes, he had trouble feeling most emotions other than anger but he grew more into loving his brothers even if he couldn't feel it.

At first Satan tried making small portions of food Lucifer could eat alongside the stuff he couldn't. It was meant as a step to not exclude Lucifer from meal time without showing he might not hate him as much as he let on. Unfortunately that didn't work since Beel ate the food before Lucifer even had a chance to get his fill, if anything at all.

It took much longer for Satan to grow frustrated enough to furiously cook a meal that Lucifer could eat and would actually like. He was so strongly bubbling with rage that he nearly destroyed the kitchen! At the dinner table everyone could eat Satan's food for once, though he did flip the table when someone pointed out that Lucifer liked the food and decided to tease him about it.

I just stumbled onto your account. I just read the one with the Hazbin men getting married to their s/o.

Great work!!!

What stuck out to me was that on Lucifer’s one in parentheses, you mentioned that he’s Autistic.

Idk if you take requests, but if you do, could you possibly share your Lucifer autism headcanons?

Also, if it isn’t any trouble, could you possibly do anything with Lucifer with an autistic reader???

Anyways, that’s all I have to say!

Have a great morning/afternoon/night/day!!!

꒰ Lucifer autism headcanons + how he is with an autistic partner ꒱ ‧₊˚

Summary: Headcanons of Lucifers autism and some headcanons about how he is with an autistic partner.

Contains: Hints of depression if you squint, possible misinformation about autism

Note: Hiii! I'm so thankful that you requested ^^ I would like to say this before anyone reads, though. I am not fully educated on autism and if

Lucifers autism in general

• Okay, to start, Lucifer has both autism and ADHD. But today, I'm just gonna be focused on his autism.

• His special interest is ducks, and it's been that way since he first created them in heaven.

• Ducks bring him a sort of comfort, and they help him calm down most times. This is why the whole palace is filled with ducks.

• It can be really hard for him to sleep at night, which usually causes him to stay up way past midnight and sometimes actually stay up until morning.

• When he sleeps, he has a hard time staying still, and it's hard for him to stop stimming. (Pinching his neck, rubbing his feet together, tossing and turning, ect.)

• "Yeah, dad... I've got a pretty busy day ahead of me." "Oh really? Watcha gotta do today, Char?"

Now for the dating an autistic reader headcanons.

• When he first met you, he almost immediately fell in love. You two had so much in common! The way you would actually listen and understand how much he loved ducks and how you would be interested in your favorite thing in a similar way... it was perfect.

• He can talk with you for HOURS. Sometimes, you both just sit together in his workshop while discussing interests and, to be frank, that's always the highlight of his day.

• When you both moved into the hotel, you both had a really hard time with the change in routine. Lucifer, for one, started stimming a lot more and would often forget to eat or leave his room. He'd also typically put his attention on making sure you're adjusting alright, which is one of the reasons he'd always forget about himself.

• The way he flirts is a bit... odd. It's not weird, just a bit surprising. Typically, instead of hinting, he just gets straight to the point and tells you how he feels and what he wants.

What I can’t decide is if Heaven and Hell would be competitors or if they’d be one company with a lot of internal fighting.

Parallel Play

Mc arrives home after a long day of classes, walking to their room and working on their homework with the brothers bothering them every so often. They make their way down to the dining room after a few hours for dinner, eating the food Mc knows they like. They watch Lucifer from the corner of their eyes, thinking about what they'll be doing tonight.

After dinner Mc walks back to their room and changes into comfortable clothing. Mc checks their D.D.D for Lucifer's confirmation for them to go to his room. Once Mc saw Lucifer's go ahead they grab their blanket, squish mellow, fidget, and book. They leave their room and make their way over to Lucifer's room. Mc arrives at his room, knocking lightly on the door.

"Come in."

Mc opens the door, walking through to see Lucifer setting up his record that they've been listening to for the past few evenings. He sets the needle on the record as Mc gets comfortable in their usual spot, the music flows through the room. A comfortable silence falls between the two as Mc begins to read their book and Lucifer shifts into his demon form, beginning to preen his feathers.

The two continue to do their own thing, Lucifer occasionally asking Mc to help him get a hard to reach spot on his wings while he preens. Mc helps when he asks, but they continue to read their book as the music plays through. One of them gets up every so often to restart the record.

An hour passes and Lucifer has finished preening his feathers, opting to play with a dark colored tangle Mc had given him a few weeks ago when they returned from the human world while he focused on the music. Mc had finished their book so they cuddled up to their squish mellow while reading on their DDD.

Not long after Mc has their legs over his own while he quietly reads their book, his hand lightly holding one of their legs as he reads. Mc had stretched out, now playing with their fidget as they continued to read on their DDD.

The two switched what they were doing and how close or how far away they were to one another as they continued to spend time together. Soon they are cuddling one another as Lucifer silently watches Mc play games on their phone, his head resting on top of theirs.

Once it gets closer to the bed time they had set up, they get up and start going through their nightly routine. They take turns in the bathroom and while Lucifer is in there Mc gets out the squish mellows he hides and starts to arrange them on the bed the way they know he likes it. When Mc is in the bathroom Lucifer finishes getting his bed ready and cleaning up the rest of the room.

Lucifer finished reading his bed by the time Mc leaves the bathroom about to gather their things to leave when Lucifer gently grabs their wrist, stopping them.

"Stay with me tonight?" Lucifer doesn't look at them, his mask had fallen away hours ago.

"Alright Lucifer. Do you want to cuddle too?" Mc responds, knowing he doesn't ask them to stay often. He nods his head and they wordlessly get into bed.

The two take a few minutes to get comfortable before Lucifer gently pulls Mc close to him. He relaxes more when Mc cuddles closer to him, sharing their blanket with him and holding their squish mellow close. They say their goodnights, shut off the lights, and start to drift off.

"I don't know what this feeling is, but I think I love you, Mc." Lucifer sleepily confesses.

Yeah, not a lot to choose from for that particular niche. 

I do have thoughts! Sorry, it took me so long to reply, I had family over this weekend and was very busy wrangling baby cousins. 

These opinions are only my own, and while my brother is autistic, I am not; so I can’t speak directly to the experiences that someone with autism has. 

First off, Blanket Statement: you don’t need to have canon support to headcanon anything for a character, it’s valid either way. That said, I do think there is canon support for Lucifer being autistic. And while many of the characteristics he displays that support the idea of him being autistic could also be explained by Lucifer being an angel and unfamiliar with humanity, or by his time spent isolated in Hell, I think the proposition of autism is equally possible and a valid lens in which to analyze his behavior. 

Lucifer often disregards or doesn’t understand various social boundaries and appropriateness, but is capable of learning and adhering to them when they’re explained. He’s touch adverse in most contexts (sex being an exception). He’s fastidious. You could say the fiddling is his way of stimming, he often finds something to mess with, Chloe’s newton’s cradle, running his fingers down his suit, so on. He has a very short attention span when he isn’t focusing on something that holds his interest. (Could one consider punishing bad guys and finding desires as his special interests?) 

There are definitely some of the ‘typical’ symptoms that Lucifer doesn’t exhibit, he maintains excellent eye contact, among others. But that’s why it’s a spectrum! Each person is unique.
