If The Lord Is Testing Me, I Have Failed.

I feel this about the set MC appearance (and one reason I like Obey Me! is that they don’t do that). I got a boy cut and no curves and I dress like Saul Goodman on drugs and I want my androgynous representation GOD DAMN IT.

But also I’m trying to learn Chinese so props to AL for helping inspire me to study.

reasons why afterl!fe is better then Obey Me

pros & cons

obey me ;

pros ;

• nice and well developed (some) characters

• good plot

• devil points are easy to get (daily missions, events, etc)

• fair prices (devil points, vip, etc)

• gender neutral, no set gender for the player

• has no appearance for the mc, so you can put whoever in it

cons ;

• nightmare events. the rates are unfair, and only depends on luck (i have shit luck)

• favoritism. they play favorites with the characters AND players.

• new lessons. they’re great, but the amount of strength is ridiculous. its becoming to where you HAVE to spend money to play.

• events. theyre great, cards are amazing, but the prizes and amount of event points you need is becoming bullshit. 93k points? 127 points per battle, 3 plays a battle. its becoming insane.

• ap. the ap doesnt need to take 5 mins to get just 1. its insane as well. takes like, 8 fucking hours to get full stock.

After L!fe

pros ;

• in different languages (chinese, english, japanese, korean, thai(?)) for players around the world (mainly in asia & countries with english as a main language) can play

• dont play favorites. they’re equal with characters AND players. (for download milestones, you get 10 premium tickets but have to log in at a certain UTC time.) the characters are getting their own SSR cards (i think they already have a separate SSR card per character, the rest are events).

• events. they’re easy to play through. very nice plotline, + its very long. the prizes in the events are fair.

• ap (sp in this case) is easy to get. it takes 1 min to get 1, which goes by very fast.

• the characters. theyre well thought out and have different and unique personalities. they have backstories that make them them, and are different for each character.

• there is no set dating option, just the characters & you (the manager). you can choose which character you want to favorite, but wont get really intimate options with them.

• prizes (or gifts for the characters) are easy to get throughout the levels. the levels are fair as well.

• plot is well thought out.

• side characters (nyang leader, sei housemaster (let me have sei >:() as well as the characters/animal hybrid things from the levels get introduced to the plot.

cons ;

• money prices. love the game, characters, and stuff. but the money prices, $5+ for one pull, yeah kiss my ass. 👺

• ep. why does it need to take 30 mins to get 1 refill. maybe lower it or something, to maybe 15 mins instead of 30?

• the amount of storage it takes up. stop making me fill my storage up with only after l!fe i have photos 😭 and other shit

• set appearance and gender. ok, i dont mind the gender but the appearance, it needs to stop i swear. im done with the mc having brown hair and no other hair color. its annoying. maybe i want the mc to be someone who got shit on by a goblin >:( and the gender, yeah it’ll be a bit upsetting for those who are non-binary and male.

thats about it. thanks for listening/reading <3

Hello fellow linguist! What do you think Demonic would look/sound like? I imagine it’s some kind of Greek/Latin/Aramaic bastard child. Maybe it’s the language of the Voynich Manuscript?

Let’s. Make. This. Happen.

My biggest issue with Obey Me is that there is supposedly a full alphabet for the Devildom (and quite possibly a language by extension) and it is mentioned like. Once.

I would absolutely love to see exchanges like:

Mammon: Hey, MC, can you pass me that?

MC: Pass what?

Mammon: You know the... the dry sauce!

MC: ???

Mammon: UGH stupid human language. The [D̴̞͂ȩ̶̐m̵̰̝̼̾ơ̶̢̰̜̿̇̓n̴̪͂͌͒i̸̥̰͇̹͑̏c̸̲͚̉͋ ̵̹̈́ś̵͙͚͓͗̃̍c̴̼̊̇͐̕r̴̺̳̆͠e̶̺̬̜̪̎e̵͇̱͕͛̓͘č̶͈h̶̬̬͐͑̔i̷͇̒̃̕n̷̯̄g̷̻̍̄́́]

MC:

Asmo: Oh, he means the salt

Mammon: YES, THANK YOU

Unbothered MC

When I get yelled at by opposing counsel, I just stare blankly at them and say “okay” repeatedly til they feel stupid. It’s amazing would recommend 10/10.

You know that in-game scene where we danced with Lucifer in his demon form and he almost crushed our hand? Well, if there was an in-game option, I would've kicked him in his groin for threatening me & almost breaking my hand :p

YES!

I was wondering why the options were so tame 😭

Like where’s the option to pick a fight 🤣

Destroy his pride by destroying his ability to produce kids-

This reminds me of that National Geographic article that said, statistically, everyone of European heritage alive today is a descendant of Charlemagne. That is, everyone alive in Europe in the ninth century who had children is related to everyone of European extraction today (including Charlemagne’s unfortunately named kinfolk Drogo and Pippin). So, mathematically, if Lilith lived eons ago, basically every human is related to her in some fashion, and probably a good fraction of humans would be her direct descendants. So…

WE ARE ALL MC!

Not a request, just curious about something. Idk if I should say spoilers or not but just in case, spoilers. I just started playing but I know that MC is Lilith's decendant but doesn't that mean Lilith had kids and those kids had kids? Wouldn't it make more sense to say that MC is Lilith's reincarnation or am I just reading things wrong here?

NOOOOO

MC is NOT Lilith's reincarnation.

Lilith got reincarnated as a human EONS ago and had kids and those kids had kids and then those kids had kids, etc...

We are, as MC, a descendent of Lilith. Like. A million and then some Generations down

Hope that helped

Another story time chiming in:

I prosecute child exploitation cases, so I get a lot of reports from real gross mf’ers. The past month or so, I’ve had a couple cases where people with illegal -material- have also had various Satanist/Wiccan/occult paraphernalia in their houses. The agents I talked to were like, “it’s so weird that these people have this stuff, they must be REALLY messed up if they’re satanists.” And then I whip out my Satanic Temple membership card (because of course I have one, I’m a lefty troll). And I’m like, “oh look, on our membership card it says ‘thou shalt not harm children’, I think I need to report them to the higher ups.”

The look on their face is PRICELESS.

And then I indict the assholes with kiddie pictures, because fuck them, but I find it endlessly amusing to troll stodgy southern American Christians who wither from depictions of Satan like a vampire recoils from garlic.

Story time!

Today at work l got asked the wildest question. Mind you at my job we are like the only ones left in the building so our boss has been real laid back with the dress code, so im able to wear some of my alt. graphic tees. And the one l wore today has a chibi Baphomet in a pentagram that say ‘you have a beautiful soul, give it to me’ And everyone in that office knows that is my aesthetic and normal dress wear, so they are cool with it; I even get asked often if I practiced that religion/witchcraft, of course l leave them running in circles about it haha. But a older coworker comes up to me and this is our convo.

CW: “cool shirt, if you don’t mind me asking but who is that character on it?”

Me: “Oh, its Baphomet!”

CW; “ and where is he from”

Me: *brief pause in my mind* like lol what

Me: “uhhh...hell?”

I mean his name might not as famous as Lucifer Morningstar or Satan, but come on if the beast head/legs/hooves with a humonaid chest doesn’t scream ‘demon’ - like you cant be that shut out that you dont even know, you’re religious too, surely you’ve seen pictures before.

I mean, she might of genuinely not of known 🤣 HAVING SAID THAT THOUGH, speaking from personal experiences, old people just LOVE to question anything "different" about people, and then just give you those judgey eye's because they live for that shit 😂

Old person: I see you have your nose pierced..*those judgemental eye's* back in my day we didn't have that kind of stuff..Good thing too, its strange and unnecessary and doesn't look nice. 😑

Me: Yeah I've got my pussy pierced too Barbara, wanna comment on that while you're at it? 🙄 Fuck off. 😂

OMG I’d buy Luke a little Prince Charming costume and have Beel go along as Cinderella. I’m sure I’ve got a Fairy Godmother costume lying around somewhere for me as well...

ok beel is my least favorite bro and all but i just thought of how mf cUTE it would be to take him trick or treating omg

like going house to house with him all happy cause he got a shit ton of candy and maybe mammo can tag along (cause duh FREE candy plus he goes anywhere MC goes what) and luke can come too cause he baby and deserves to have fun as a kid like YALL 🥺

Hello fellow idiot!

Also I’m thinking of like, in Arthur’s route, you get threatened by some random barflies, which, yeah I’ll glass y’all in the face any day of the week. And I think some college bro punks try to start shit in Isaac’s route? I’ve killed off a lot of my brain cells with quarantine drinking, so my memory might be iffy.

Also, IRL tip from my time spent working with law enforcement: if someone tries to grab you/lure you away and take you somewhere, scream, run away, do whatever it takes not to go with them. Your odds of getting out alive are a lot better if you put up a fight before the asshole gets you to a private place.

This has been a PSA from your friendly local embittered old feminist former prosecutor

This has been bothering me since I started playing otome games, especially the Ikemen series (aka “Kidnapping for Fun and Profit Romance”). Why are the MC’s always helpless as shit and/or shaking in their boots as soon as the love interest gets into some kind of scuffle?

My daddy didn’t teach me to throw a haymaker so some malnourished nineteenth-century twat could pick me up and carry me away. When the MC is threatened by an antagonist/random mugger/whatever plot device, I want an option to say, “Bitch I can bench-press you and your Dickensian orphan buddies, go eat whatever sewer rats you use as a protein source and come back to me in a couple months.”

Maybe it’s a cultural thing, and the Japanese market likes their protagonists sweet and innocent, or maybe I’m just white trash, I dunno. Give me an MC who is about to take her earrings off and turn her rings in ‘cause she is gonna step to these fools.

In summary:

I know a lot of people weren’t on board with Mammon’s proposal, but the undateables having to play second fiddle sold me 1000 percent.

And then the “you gotta marry me” bit at the end made me so gushy.

It was my favorite, come at me bro

Dammit Mammon.... How did you know dedicating songs to me was my weakness?

Sorry boys, Mammon won the proposal audition. The rest of you can go home.

All their tiddies are bigger than mine ;_; but they could maybe wear one of my big sleep shirts for failed political campaigns that I get from thrift stores?

Mammon in a Perot/Choate 1996 shirt would be on brand af, I guess.

(also literally every time my husband - a foot taller and 120 lbs heavier than me - buys me clothes, he insists on going to the register by himself and asking the cashier how they think he’d look in the outfit. Send help plz)

You remember that trend where your favorite character wears your clothes?

He's trying to cover his tiddies, I don't know if that's clear

Having eaten scorpion, that actually doesn’t sound too bad. Like a bug-pub fusion snack!
