Alright I'm curious about your take on movie night with the undateables, including Luke since this is non- romance. Snack preferences, what movies they choose, funny stories from movie night. Whatever strikes your fancy with the idea is good with me. Thanks in advance!
Sorry it took a little bitĀ (Ā“Ļļ½ć) Itās my first time working with these characters so I wanted to give it my absolute best
Iām setting this up as individual movie nights so that each character can get the spotlight for a while; I hope thatās ok!Ā Also, a lot of them somehow ended up in a context of it being the first time youād hung out one on one lol
It feels like Simeon spends just about all of his time with Luke and Solomon, while you spend just about all of yours with the brothers.Ā So, you decide to have a movie night to finally spend some time together without having to divide your attention. Ā Purgatory Hall is the obvious choice of location, since its residents are much more ready to leave you alone when asked.
This angel is a traditional kind of guy, as angels tend to be, so popcorn is the only snack idea that comes to mind.Ā Traditional doesnāt mean close-minded, though, so heās more than willing to try out any snacks you bring along. Ā Actually, he encourages you to bring a bunch of snacks to try out together!Ā You can have a taste test while you watch the movies!
Simeon likes Hallmark movie-type movies a lot, mainly because they demand little emotional investment.Ā Movies like horror donāt scare him, but they do stress him out because he wants all the protagonists to get their happy ending!Ā Another benefit of Hallmark movies is that itās fun to try to guess exactly what will happen, since they can be so predictable.
Of course, he doesnāt want to monopolize your movie lineup, so if thereās something you want to see heās all for it.Ā If you want to go for something more thrilling, heāll power through it like a champ, but you can see him visibly cringing at some points.
Simeon is lowkey a movie cuddler, but like in a way that still respects your personal space bubble.Ā He wonāt spend the film with you in his arms or anything, but the entire couch is fair game.
Simeon apparently likes to talk during moviesāhe doesnāt mean to, but the thoughts kind of just come out.Ā Heās brutally honest about what heās thinking, so if youāre down with it, talking about and roasting the movie as itās happening is a load of fun.Ā āI donāt know MC, I donāt think this guyās all that great either? Ā Sure maybe he isnāt completely ignoring her, but look, he obviously has commitment issues; at least her ex was just busy all the time.Ā Look, Mr. Lone Wolfās beard is uneven. Ā Why does she want a man who wants to look rugged but canāt get it right?ā
Simeon also will accidentally spoil any movie heās already seen like this, so youāre best off watching films that are new to both of you.
He knew that you were a nice and fun person, but honestly heās kind of taken aback by how good you are to be around.Ā Since the only human heās usually around is Solomon, talking to one and not feeling like you need to second-guess everything youāre told is a new and welcome feeling.
Before you split for the night, he asks if youād like to do something like this again.Ā As an angel, thereās a lot that he hasnāt experiencedāa lot of food, a lot of activities, a lot of mediaāand youāre someone that he feels like he would be comfortable trying new things with.Ā You can expect lots of texts like, āHello!Ā I hope youāre doing wellć¾(ļ¼¾-ļ¼¾)ć Are you free tomorrow?ā
You probably decide to have a movie night after Luke ends up spending way longer than he expected to in the kitchen at the House of Lamentation.Ā On the condition that absolutely no demons are to join you two! Ā Ok maybe Beel and Levi are ok but absolutely no one else! Ā After a call to Simeon explaining that he isnāt coming back to Purgatory Hall tonight you guys are good to go.
He always brings baked goods when he comes over, plus whatever he was working on in the kitchen, so youāre more than covered!Ā The majority of it is things like cookies and fudge bark. Ā Theyāre easy snacks to grab a handful of.
Luke tries to insist that he wants to watch a movie with lots of violence or a horror film, or any other kind of movie that teenagers sneak into.Ā Heās doing it because heās so frustrated with everyone calling him a kid when heās centuries older than a human will ever be, stop making fun of him!!Ā For his sake and yours, you should tell him that you donāt want to watch that sort of movie, because if you let him get away with it heāll get too freaked out in the first 20 minutes.
Most likely youāll end up having a Disney marathon.Ā Theyāre so fun, and since the Celestial Realm is pretty isolated when it comes to cultural exchange, heās only seen a couple, so you can show him your favorites!Ā Also, heās not crying.Ā No, you saw that wrong.
He starts off on the other side of the couch, one again trying to be mature and shit, but that wonāt last long.Ā Anyone who sees you huddled together like that will be punched in the gut with the sheer level of sibling energy yāall are radiating.Ā Lucifer almost doesnāt want to mock him. Ā Almost.
That thing where immediately after consuming a piece of media, you imagine yourself as part of that universe?Ā Luke loves to talk about that sort of thing. Ā āIf I lived there, Iād have given Gaston a piece of my mind!ā Ā āOk but if I was a piece of furniture what do you think Iād be?Ā I can totally see you being aā¦ā
āI think youād be the footstool that acts like a dog, Luke.āĀ āHey, Lucifer, you werenāt invited to our party!!ā
You might (will) have to fend off a few nosy demon brothers to protect your demon-free movie lair.Ā Luke swears that next time you have to come over to Purgatory Hall, but heās having way more fun here than heās willing to admit.
He also learns that most of the brothers will listen to you without complaint.Ā He will definitely keep this in mind.
This kid angel has so much energy, how is he still awake after five movies?Ā You absolutely have to establish a bedtime because he literally will not go to bed until you do.
Itās quite rare for you to have a break from the seven avatars of attention hogging, so if youāre going to have a movie night, Purgatory Hall may as well be a godsend.
You may want to be careful about getting there, because if Asmo catches wind that you and Solomon are having a movie night without him, heās going to show up unannounced and then refuse to leave.Ā Solomon can come pick you up if you need. Ā Just, heāll be waiting a block away so Asmo canāt catch up.
Solomon is a ādinner and a showā kinda guy.Ā He will offer to make dinner. Ā Do not let him do this. Ā Either make it yourself or order takeout.
Youāll pretty easily agree on alternating who chooses the movie.Ā You get the first, he gets the second, you get the third, etc. Ā Definitely isnāt letting you choose first to lure you into a false sense of security about the DVD in his hand, what made you think that?
Solomon is the kind of person to lie about what sort of movie heās put in.Ā āSolomon what is this supposed to be?ā Ā āOh, donāt worry about it.ā Ā Itās gonna be a weird movie.Ā You just have to wait and see.
He is going to rip into your movie choices.Ā He liked how they worked with this, and that was impressive, but these bits?Ā Did they think they could get away with that? Ā What was the budget? Ā Rest assured, though, he expects you to do the same for him.Ā In fact, heāll be quite disappointed if you donāt.
He prefers a setup on his bed rather than on the couch.Ā Heās also one of the ones who keeps to himself in terms of personal space, although thatās not to say that he isnāt relaxed.Ā Some might say heās too relaxed, but thatās just who he is: too relaxed in any situation.Ā On the surface, at least.
As the only humans in the Devildom, some of the night is probably spent reminiscing on how different things tend to be here.Ā Solomon does feel bad that you in particular have had to make so many changes to your life and habits with no warning. Ā He has his magic to rely on, so heās glad you have your reputation of āthe human that made a pact with the student councilā to keep demons from messing with you.
If you want, heās happy to let you sleep over so that you donāt have to explain why youāre coming home so late.Ā He also encourages you to not say anything to your dorm mates. Ā Wouldnāt it be fun to make them wonder? Ā Theyāre always breathing down your neck, arenāt they?Ā Make them squirm a little bit. Ā Youāre going to get a scolding for sneaking out regardless. Ā Itās incredibly cruel; you know they worry sick about you more than is called for.Ā Will you play along? Ā Thatās up to you. Ā I advise you not to.
Like Simeon felt like he needed to second-guess everything around a bunch of demons and Solomon, Solomon sometimes feels like he needs to keep himself guarded around a bunch of demons and two literal angels.Ā You, however, are a human. Ā You have common ground, and Solomon can see how your vulnerability here translates into strength. Ā Heās not quite ready to admit it but, your ability to survive on character and not power is inspiring to him.Ā Shortly before you go home/to sleep, he mentions something about himself, and for once it seems like heās being honest.
You have the movie night at the House of Lamentation, under Luciferās promise that heād keep everyone else busy.Ā Itās Barbatosā first day off in 325 years, and he doesnāt want to take any chances of Diavolo forgetting that fact and giving him an order.
It may come as a surprise, but Barbatos wants nothing more than to order a pizza.Ā If he managed to get enough time off to have a movie night with you, he doesnāt want to have to think about preparing food.Ā A single night where he can just hang out and eat less than perfectly prepared cuisine is exactly what he needs to unwind.
Out of habit, he insists that whatever you want to watch is fine.Ā If you remind him that this is just as much for him as it is for you, heāll suggest you look up what new psychological thrillers are trending.Ā Whenever a scary scene is playing on the screen, thereās the tiniest smile gracing his face the whole time. Ā Itās a little disconcerting, but something tells you that you shouldnāt bring it up.
If you do bring it up against all better judgement, though, heāll explain that the villain in the film is being so messy.Ā Given the circumstances, itād be better for him to do this or that.
āDonāt ask how I know all of this.Ā Iām just saying, if you find yourself with a body to dispose of, alive or not, you know who to call.ā
Time spent with an off-duty Barbatos grows more relaxed as the night progresses.Ā You split the sofa 50/50, and over time you can see his posture relax from stiff and straight to leaning against the arm with his feet up.
Oh, yes, heās also brought along a nice bottle of wine to share.Ā He made sure to get something that should affect demons and humans equally, of course.Ā If heās going to get inebriated, youāre going down with him.
Turns out, working for the Demon Prince for all eternity gives you a few grievances.Ā Also turns out that the Demon Princeās butler becomes quite loose lipped and downright snarky when heās had enough to drink.Ā āāWhich flavor do you think Lucifer would like best?ā Ā I donāt know, My Lord, might I suggest you ask him yourself?Ā No, no, I hear you laughing, MC!Ā This happens every time!ā
Thereās still a movie playing, but why would you watch a movie when Diavoloās butler is such a gossip?Ā You definitely know things you shouldnāt by the time the night is over, but you swear an oath of secrecy.Ā And, although he regrets how liberal he was with his stories the next day, it does feel nice to have some of that off his chest.
And, well, heās already gone this far, so he hopes you arenāt too surprised when you receive a text from him a week later: āOk SO.ā
You guys decide to do the movie night at the palace, mainly to avoid Lucifer.Ā Diavolo wants to get to know you better, and he knows that if Lucifer is around heāll end up making you the third-wheel.
Barbatos is going to be around, so Diavolo leaves it up to you whether you want to make it a party of three.Ā (Barbatos is still in on-duty mode, of course, so his time here is much less relaxed than in his solo scenario.)
Diavoloās read about movie nights in Youthful Fun 101, and he wants to try out the whole snack list.Ā Popcorn, pizza rolls, sodas, you name it, heās got mountains of it.
If you suggest also making ice cream sundaes, heāll be the happiest demon in the entire Devildom.Ā It seems that the esteemed Demon Prince really loves chocolate sauce.
Really really wants to watch your favorite movie.Ā What sort of Devildom host would he be if he didnāt get to understand the Human World from his guestās perspective?Ā Whether itās something like Gone with the Wind or something like Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2, heās enthralled.Ā So this is Human World cinema!Ā Thereās something so imaginative about it, even in the driest moments!
After your favorite, heās got a checklist of iconic movies to get under his belt.Ā Not all of them end up holding your attention, and you develop a voting systemāafter the first 15 minutes, you hold a vote on whether to keep the movie going or to move on.Ā Since thereās only two of you, only one of you needs to like the movie to keep it going, so you give yourselves one immediate veto each.
Diavolo uses his veto on the first movie he wasnāt super into, and you have to keep reminding him that thereās no secret second veto that he can use.Ā Cut him some slack, this level of democracy is unfamiliar to the future Demon King. Ā He does end up really liking some of the movies he tried to avoid, so he learns to chill pretty quickly.
Also insists on watching the movies in a massive blanket fort.Ā Heās not a movie cuddler, per se, but he is an emotional movie watcher, so you can expect him to grab your arm during an especially sweet or sad scene.
Youāre going to have to clarify whatās realistic and what isnāt sometimes.Ā No, thatās not a real animal. Ā Yes, that event really happened. Ā That may or may not be true, we arenāt sure.Ā Diavolo please this is a conspiracy theory.
If you thought that this wouldnāt end up in a sleepover, I donāt know what to tell you.Ā Maybe you just tried to watch way too many movies and passed out in the fort. Ā Maybe you tried to call it quits and then he gave you big puppy dog eyes until you agreed to have a slumber party.
Side note, but Lucifer is still recovering from seeing Diavoloās car appear unannounced at the House of Lamentation and then being told that itās actually here to pick you up and that he absolutely canāt come along. Ā Has he been replaced?
