turns out the only way to deal with your period as a trans man is to draw boys kissing. Scientifically proven.

@niobeaz (Things were getting long so new post!!)

I'm sure there's a lot of people on the internet and off the internet who are, understandably, a little alarmed with the realization of how unhealthy both Lucifer and Alastor's behavior towards each other is. Because, like, it leads to the "what if" scenarios coming to mind. What if Alastor didn't reciprocate? What if Lucifer had a jewelry from a different jeweler? Seriously, their behaviors are reminiscent to stalkers who kill people over perceived wrongs. It really is extremely lucky that they worked out.

But he's a rebellious soul at heart, really, and can't help causing them some inconvience.

Lucifer gets his ears pierced as a minor form of rebellion and goes to buy some pricey diamond earrings, and promptly gains a massive crush on the hot jeweler of the small but highly reputable family-run store.

This begins Lucifer's journey to get more and more piercings to have excuses to keep coming back over and over again, both to further attempt to alienate himself from his family and also to see those pretty brown eyes behind gold frames again.

Meanwhile, Alastor has gained a beautiful canvas to drape in all forms of gold and silver chains, adorn in rubies and diamonds and padparadscha sapphires. He doesn't quite understand the rumors going around about "Lucifer King" going through a mental breakdown and becoming a punk. This man looks utterly breathtaking, a picture of divinity and starlight. Wearing only jewelery that Alastor created, every chain, every ring, every piercing a set of gems and precious metals that he had crafted himself.

Lucifer is a fashion designer as is expected of him by his family, and to his credit he is genuinely very good at what he does. But before Alastor, he lacked any passion for his work, frequently imagining a life where he pursued his dream as an artist, as a sculpter or painter. He did his best work in children's fashion when he had his daughter, Charlie, but how often do you really expect parents, even rich ones, to be buying designer clothing for their children? Kids are messy and grow out of clothing extremely fast, it's not as often as you'd think even for people who see money as no object.

After Alastor, though? His passion came alive. He began experimenting and actually began comparing his suppliers to find the perfect fabrics for different occasions, from lace to linen to silk. He started comparing dyes, thread, weave, slubbing, started layering textures and playing with embroidery.

Whenever he began a new design sketch, he'd take the time to sketch out Alastor's face as well, adding makeup and headpieces that he'd think paired well with the rest of the design. He created an entire new line based solely on what he dreamed of Alastor wearing.

He began dabbling in lingerie. One sketch was a set made entirely of strings of irridescent black pearls. Another was thin silver chains lined with thousands of small glimmering diamonds, draping down like a waterfall.

Lucifer is actively ascending to a higher plane while Alastor is busy imagining the beautiful work of art he can create with this new gemstone just for Lucifer to wear. They are both equally obsessed with each other it is indecent.

Lucifer's only complaint is that Alastor is not wearing one of his newer works specifically made to be worn by Alastor. But it's okay... he'll find a way. After all, there's a fashion gala hosted by the King family coming up and Lucifer wouldn't mind collaborating with such an esteemed jeweler to create a masterpiece or two for the red carpet... A good excuse to invite him as a plus one, right? And a wonderful opportunity as well for a small family business!

I made the lace window a bit too big but whatever it gets the point across it doesn't have to be exact, we can use our imaginations

Anyways as soon as Lucifer gets a glimpse of that pretty, intricate lace hiding beneath those pants, his brain goes ZYOOM! Bye bye! It's very fortunate Lucifer isn't in charge of making any business deals but it's also extremely unfortunate that his family are the hosts of the gala because it means not only is he expected to be greeting people, but there are cameras trained on him 24/7.

@partlyspiders you are SO big brained and SO right

Not only is Alastor widely removed from social and digital mass media, modern technology in general, but he is also cursed to never have his picture properly taken by modern technology— which of course he doesn't notice because he doesn't interact with modern technology much at all outside of the work space. (And even then, very rarely. He does things the traditional way more often than not, unless strictly necessary.)

His mama knew of this curse since he was a baby and got around it by using a polaroid to take baby pictures of him. It is the only thing that works. That or only taking pictures from the neck down.

He will never shake the "tall, dark, and mysterious" persona after this.

Too bad Lucifer would never take any pictures for the paparazzi.

As for filter, I think we were going under the assumption that something keeps getting into the way of photographers every time they try to take a picture, like a bird swooping in to block the view, or Alastor suddenly turning away from the cameras, so someone walking in between, etc, but the idea that the pictures are just straight up blurry or glitchy would be so interesting because that would elevate Alastor from "mysterious" to "this guy HAS to have some Actual Fucking Magic in him there is no way that's normal." Like there's no explaining that!!!

It's unpleasant that his new jewelry line led to him being interrogated over the man's disappearance but it's nothing a little charm and his impeccable acting skills can't handle!

Which of course would lead to an extremely tense confrontation where Lucifer is DISTURBINGLY calm while casually questioning their actions and involvement in his life and decisions. He looks completely serene when he starts asking them about their role in Alastor's increasingly bad odds at pleading innocence. Which leads to one of the most casual and confident threats Lucifer ever makes, leaving his family freaked out and unsure if he's bluffing or not. Lucifer's father would have his fear turn into anger and he'd tell Lucifer to get the fuck out of his sight for the next month, although he concedes that they'll help prove Alastor's innocence and stop fucking around with the investigation... Not because he feels threatened, mind you, it's just the right thing to do, of course.

Lucifer of course is extremely happy with this arrangement because he's honestly been sick of being under his family's thumb to begin with, can't they just banish him forever please and thank you?? This sentiment gets stronger when Alastor invites him and Charlie to stay until the month is over, CAN HE BE BANISHED FOREVER PLEASE AND THANK YOU??

Maybe after the Great Banishment, either Lucifer starts acting out to see what can get him banished again, or....Lucifer buys a house and tries (and fails) at rationalizing his offer for Alastor to move in with him (wouldn't it be quicker to collaborate! And we are already used to being roommates, we really shouldn't stop a good thing). Alastor of course agrees (and secretly goes through Lucifer's things to make sure he doesn't have any other jewelry not designed and made by Alastor) and comes to find a fully stocked closet full of Lucifer King branded clothing.

Alastor: oh what is this?

Lucifer, visibly sweating: oh I just had a few extra pieces laying around I thought you might like!

Alastor, amused: they seem to be perfectly tailored to me??

Lucifer, flailing and fleeing: idontknowwhatyoumeanthesearedefinitelyspares

Alastor would of course agree, unlimited access to his muse for the duration of their collaboration?? Access to Lucifer's LIVING SPACE, the opportunity to make DAMN SURE no other jeweler out their dared to try and encroach on Alastor's territory? Sounds like quite the deal to him!

God Lucifer is definitely rich enough to have a LOT of secret compartments all over the house and he definitely has more than one that's just a full on shrine dedicated to his obsession of Alastor. I kind of want Lucifer to know that Alastor found a bunch of hidden rooms and have a brief panic attack about it before discovering that Alastor hadn't yet found any of the shrines... yet.

And no he isn't bothered by Alastor invading his privacy, he's a pervert and definitely sorta hoped that Alastor looked through his underwear drawer.

That stocked closet though was already in Alastor's room when Al moved in for the collab though, I feel like Lucifer would take the professional excuse as a way to get Alastor into more of his clothes. Like "thank you for taking time out of your life to move here for our collaboration, here's a closet full of clothes that I personally made with my own two hands as a gift, how did I get your measurements? Don't worry about it, when you're in this industry long enough you get good at guessing people's measurements. :)"

Anyways. Charlie when she's old enough to choose asks to have her ears pierced like daddy, and Lucifer agrees and holds her hand while it's happening, and even gets a third set of lobe piercings in solidarity with her. Then they go to Alastor's to get her a pair of pink opal and rose gold stud earrings. Lucifer gets white opal on silver.

Lucifer loses his mind a little bit when he learns that Alastor is actually very good with Charlie and that Charlie likes Alastor. Like, Alastor gets down to her level to talk to her directly because "this purchase is for Charlie after all, she should get a say in what she wants to wear. And it's not like the price is a dealbreaker for you, now, is it Mr. King?" Charlie adores this sort of attention, the respect towards her personal autonomy and her preferences. And Alastor remains consistent with it throughout the entirety of his and Charlie's interactions.

(Is this me mildly venting about how I think adults forget that children are humans with thoughts and feelings and personal preferences and shouldn't be treated like they're incapable of expressing themselves in any capacity without adult intervention or control?? Yup.)

Lucifer is fucking GONE on Alastor. It's been at least two full years of slowburn between them at this point, and yet Lucifer just keeps falling harder and harder as time goes on while still technically doing nothing about it.

Alastor on the other hand has actually not grown more obsessed over time, because he reached his maximum level of possessiveness towards Lucifer very early on with how overjoyed he was to have someone as his canvas. Alastor's obsession is also categorically different from Lucifer's in that it's not even really romantic or sexual in nature. It really has to do with him seeing Lucifer as the perfect model for his finest work. However the line is so thin that honestly all it would take for Alastor to seriously consider Lucifer as a potential significant other would just be Lucifer asking him out.

The ball will forever be in Lucifer's court, in other words. It won't happen unless he makes the first step. And he keeps chickening out from making the first step.

All of Alastor's previous panic and insecurities immediately die when he looks at Lucifer to find the man's face beet red and wheezing, a drastic departure from the usual "effortless" confidence he has.

Oh. Hello there, that's a new feeling. Alastor is suddenly very interested in where this is going.

"Well, Mr. King? When are you going to take me home?"

10:23-10:44

I vote Gabriel's the one who got the sketch (or a bunch of sketches) by bribing Charlie to get him one of the folders in daddy's office, and instead of opening it in private he takes it to the family and they all get traumatized together. What a fun bonding activity! Haha... ha...

Michael please have mercy—

And of course Alastor's mom knew. She absolutely saw where that was going, considering Alastor was the one working on every single one of Mr. King's commissions and didn't let her take any of them.

As for the sins, I like to think they were college friends of Lucifer's who are all working in the same industry in different ways, and they eventually all came to work directly under Lucifer. Ozzie's in marketing, Mammon's in financing, Bee's in PR, Bel's in textiles, etc etc. I think after the failure of Lucifer's relationship with Lilith due to his overcontrolling family, they had worked with him trying to give him a backbone and trying to help him push back against them, so this new relationship is honestly leaving them both ECSTATIC and also very, very worried.

Ecstatic, because Lucifer has moved on and has found happiness for himself, and worried because Lucifer is going pretty fast and Lucifer's family will not be happy about this and may try to ruin it all over again. Of course, their support has made a major impact on Lucifer and has helped him push back against his family, so it seems they don't need to worry!!

(The sins definitely had a hand in this obsessive mindset too with them trying to help Lucifer grow a backbone but shhh they're going to let the King family take the fall for this.)

But he's a rebellious soul at heart, really, and can't help causing them some inconvience.

He doesn't quite understand the rumors going around about "Lucifer King" going through a mental breakdown and becoming a punk. This man looks utterly breathtaking, a picture of divinity and starlight. Wearing only jewelery that Alastor created, every chain, every ring, every piercing a set of gems and precious metals that he had crafted himself.

Lucifer is a fashion designer as is expected of him by his family, and to his credit he is genuinely very good at what he does. But before Alastor, he lacked any passion for his work, frequently imagining a life where he pursued his dream as an artist, as a sculpter or painter. He did his best work in children's fashion when he had his daughter, Charlie, but how often do you really expect parents, even rich ones, to be buying designer clothing for their children? Kids are messy and grow out of clothing extremely fast, it's not as often as you'd think even for people who see money as no object.

After Alastor, though? His passion came alive. He began experimenting and actually began comparing his suppliers to find the perfect fabrics for different occasions, from lace to linen to silk. He started comparing dyes, thread, weave, slubbing, started layering textures and playing with embroidery.

Whenever he began a new design sketch, he'd take the time to sketch out Alastor's face as well, adding makeup and headpieces that he'd think paired well with the rest of the design. He created an entire new line based solely on what he dreamed of Alastor wearing.

He began dabbling in lingerie. One sketch was a set made entirely of strings of irridescent black pearls. Another was thin silver chains lined with thousands of small glimmering diamonds, draping down like a waterfall.

Lucifer is actively ascending to a higher plane while Alastor is busy imagining the beautiful work of art he can create with this new gemstone just for Lucifer to wear. They are both equally obsessed with each other it is indecent.

Lucifer's only complaint is that Alastor is not wearing one of his newer works specifically made to be worn by Alastor. But it's okay... he'll find a way. After all, there's a fashion gala hosted by the King family coming up and Lucifer wouldn't mind collaborating with such an esteemed jeweler to create a masterpiece or two for the red carpet... A good excuse to invite him as a plus one, right? And a wonderful opportunity as well for a small family business!

I made the lace window a bit too big but whatever it gets the point across it doesn't have to be exact, we can use our imaginations

Anyways as soon as Lucifer gets a glimpse of that pretty, intricate lace hiding beneath those pants, his brain goes ZYOOM! Bye bye! It's very fortunate Lucifer isn't in charge of making any business deals but it's also extremely unfortunate that his family are the hosts of the gala because it means not only is he expected to be greeting people, but there are cameras trained on him 24/7.

@partlyspiders you are SO big brained and SO right

Not only is Alastor widely removed from social and digital mass media, modern technology in general, but he is also cursed to never have his picture properly taken by modern technology— which of course he doesn't notice because he doesn't interact with modern technology much at all outside of the work space. (And even then, very rarely. He does things the traditional way more often than not, unless strictly necessary.)

His mama knew of this curse since he was a baby and got around it by using a polaroid to take baby pictures of him. It is the only thing that works. That or only taking pictures from the neck down.

He will never shake the "tall, dark, and mysterious" persona after this.

Too bad Lucifer would never take any pictures for the paparazzi.

As for filter, I think we were going under the assumption that something keeps getting into the way of photographers every time they try to take a picture, like a bird swooping in to block the view, or Alastor suddenly turning away from the cameras, so someone walking in between, etc, but the idea that the pictures are just straight up blurry or glitchy would be so interesting because that would elevate Alastor from "mysterious" to "this guy HAS to have some Actual Fucking Magic in him there is no way that's normal." Like there's no explaining that!!!

It's unpleasant that his new jewelry line led to him being interrogated over the man's disappearance but it's nothing a little charm and his impeccable acting skills can't handle!

Which of course would lead to an extremely tense confrontation where Lucifer is DISTURBINGLY calm while casually questioning their actions and involvement in his life and decisions. He looks completely serene when he starts asking them about their role in Alastor's increasingly bad odds at pleading innocence. Which leads to one of the most casual and confident threats Lucifer ever makes, leaving his family freaked out and unsure if he's bluffing or not. Lucifer's father would have his fear turn into anger and he'd tell Lucifer to get the fuck out of his sight for the next month, although he concedes that they'll help prove Alastor's innocence and stop fucking around with the investigation... Not because he feels threatened, mind you, it's just the right thing to do, of course.

Lucifer of course is extremely happy with this arrangement because he's honestly been sick of being under his family's thumb to begin with, can't they just banish him forever please and thank you?? This sentiment gets stronger when Alastor invites him and Charlie to stay until the month is over, CAN HE BE BANISHED FOREVER PLEASE AND THANK YOU??

Maybe after the Great Banishment, either Lucifer starts acting out to see what can get him banished again, or....Lucifer buys a house and tries (and fails) at rationalizing his offer for Alastor to move in with him (wouldn't it be quicker to collaborate! And we are already used to being roommates, we really shouldn't stop a good thing). Alastor of course agrees (and secretly goes through Lucifer's things to make sure he doesn't have any other jewelry not designed and made by Alastor) and comes to find a fully stocked closet full of Lucifer King branded clothing.

Alastor: oh what is this?

Lucifer, visibly sweating: oh I just had a few extra pieces laying around I thought you might like!

Alastor, amused: they seem to be perfectly tailored to me??

Lucifer, flailing and fleeing: idontknowwhatyoumeanthesearedefinitelyspares

Alastor would of course agree, unlimited access to his muse for the duration of their collaboration?? Access to Lucifer's LIVING SPACE, the opportunity to make DAMN SURE no other jeweler out their dared to try and encroach on Alastor's territory? Sounds like quite the deal to him!

God Lucifer is definitely rich enough to have a LOT of secret compartments all over the house and he definitely has more than one that's just a full on shrine dedicated to his obsession of Alastor. I kind of want Lucifer to know that Alastor found a bunch of hidden rooms and have a brief panic attack about it before discovering that Alastor hadn't yet found any of the shrines... yet.

And no he isn't bothered by Alastor invading his privacy, he's a pervert and definitely sorta hoped that Alastor looked through his underwear drawer.

That stocked closet though was already in Alastor's room when Al moved in for the collab though, I feel like Lucifer would take the professional excuse as a way to get Alastor into more of his clothes. Like "thank you for taking time out of your life to move here for our collaboration, here's a closet full of clothes that I personally made with my own two hands as a gift, how did I get your measurements? Don't worry about it, when you're in this industry long enough you get good at guessing people's measurements. :)"

Anyways. Charlie when she's old enough to choose asks to have her ears pierced like daddy, and Lucifer agrees and holds her hand while it's happening, and even gets a third set of lobe piercings in solidarity with her. Then they go to Alastor's to get her a pair of pink opal and rose gold stud earrings. Lucifer gets white opal on silver.

Lucifer loses his mind a little bit when he learns that Alastor is actually very good with Charlie and that Charlie likes Alastor. Like, Alastor gets down to her level to talk to her directly because "this purchase is for Charlie after all, she should get a say in what she wants to wear. And it's not like the price is a dealbreaker for you, now, is it Mr. King?" Charlie adores this sort of attention, the respect towards her personal autonomy and her preferences. And Alastor remains consistent with it throughout the entirety of his and Charlie's interactions.

(Is this me mildly venting about how I think adults forget that children are humans with thoughts and feelings and personal preferences and shouldn't be treated like they're incapable of expressing themselves in any capacity without adult intervention or control?? Yup.)

Lucifer is fucking GONE on Alastor. It's been at least two full years of slowburn between them at this point, and yet Lucifer just keeps falling harder and harder as time goes on while still technically doing nothing about it.

Alastor on the other hand has actually not grown more obsessed over time, because he reached his maximum level of possessiveness towards Lucifer very early on with how overjoyed he was to have someone as his canvas. Alastor's obsession is also categorically different from Lucifer's in that it's not even really romantic or sexual in nature. It really has to do with him seeing Lucifer as the perfect model for his finest work. However the line is so thin that honestly all it would take for Alastor to seriously consider Lucifer as a potential significant other would just be Lucifer asking him out.

The ball will forever be in Lucifer's court, in other words. It won't happen unless he makes the first step. And he keeps chickening out from making the first step.

All of Alastor's previous panic and insecurities immediately die when he looks at Lucifer to find the man's face beet red and wheezing, a drastic departure from the usual "effortless" confidence he has.

Oh. Hello there, that's a new feeling. Alastor is suddenly very interested in where this is going.

"Well, Mr. King? When are you going to take me home?"

10:23-10:44

I vote Gabriel's the one who got the sketch (or a bunch of sketches) by bribing Charlie to get him one of the folders in daddy's office, and instead of opening it in private he takes it to the family and they all get traumatized together. What a fun bonding activity! Haha... ha...

Michael please have mercy—

And of course Alastor's mom knew. She absolutely saw where that was going, considering Alastor was the one working on every single one of Mr. King's commissions and didn't let her take any of them.

As for the sins, I like to think they were college friends of Lucifer's who are all working in the same industry in different ways, and they eventually all came to work directly under Lucifer. Ozzie's in marketing, Mammon's in financing, Bee's in PR, Bel's in textiles, etc etc. I think after the failure of Lucifer's relationship with Lilith due to his overcontrolling family, they had worked with him trying to give him a backbone and trying to help him push back against them, so this new relationship is honestly leaving them both ECSTATIC and also very, very worried.

Ecstatic, because Lucifer has moved on and has found happiness for himself, and worried because Lucifer is going pretty fast and Lucifer's family will not be happy about this and may try to ruin it all over again. Of course, their support has made a major impact on Lucifer and has helped him push back against his family, so it seems they don't need to worry!!

(The sins definitely had a hand in this obsessive mindset too with them trying to help Lucifer grow a backbone but shhh they're going to let the King family take the fall for this.)

But he's a rebellious soul at heart, really, and can't help causing them some inconvience.

Lucifer gets his ears pierced as a minor form of rebellion and goes to buy some pricey diamond earrings, and promptly gains a massive crush on the hot jeweler of the small but highly reputable family-run store.

This begins Lucifer's journey to get more and more piercings to have excuses to keep coming back over and over again, both to further attempt to alienate himself from his family and also to see those pretty brown eyes behind gold frames again.
