Any guesses as to what’s going on with Michael in this AU?

(if you’ve already been told, shhh! No cheating!)

I just remembered the Ring of Light is a thing and it could have some super interesting possibilities in this AU given its ability to regulate out-of-control magic.

I guess this event confirms that Raphael does actually like Solomon’s cooking and isn’t just planning to use it as a murder weapon or smth 

“Our prayers are no longer pleas; they are threats.”

-Raphael

Like seriously.

Imagine this.

“But now the sky is burning, and I scream and wonder...”

Gahhhhh I have so many ideas in my head if only I had skill

Some day I’d really like to get art of this AU captioned with matching “Together, Against The Sisters” lyrics 

Thirteen wondering why all the candles are suddenly burning at 10x the usual speed 

YOUR AU IS JUST- *CHEF'S KISS* ITS SO GOOD I'M INVESTED IAGRBASRGOSARG

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Thank you so much for your support! :) 

Character File: Solomon

Solomon, along with Michael, was one of the first to realize the signs of impending doom. Solomon was able to detect the concerning increase in magic throughout the Devildom and the Celestial Realm, and the imbalance this created. With his knowledge of magic, he was able to predict from the magic he sensed that the Celestial Realm and the Devildom were in trouble. Such a disturbance in the magic balance wasn’t safe for anyone.

As such, Solomon reached out to check up on things and figure out what was going on. The first person he contacted was Michael. He and Michael had been familiar with each other since before the Great Celestial War, and had taken up a sort of work partnership over the past several centuries leading up to the Armageddon. As such, Solomon was extremely surprised when he got no response from Michael after reaching out. Now even more concerned by Michael’s silence, Solomon reached out to other angels to try to get an idea of what was going on in the Celestial Realm. They, too, gave no useful responses. The Devildom wasn’t cooperative, either. Many of the demons Solomon had pacts with perished in the early stages of the Armageddon, leaving him with few sources of intel.

Much like during the magic crisis in Season 2 of canon, Solomon worked tirelessly to get to the bottom of this and fix it. The more he researched, however, the more dire the situation seemed to get.

Eventually, Thirteen, having her own reasons to be worried about the Armageddon, reached out to Solomon for answers, only to find a very weary Solomon in a borderline panic pacing around his estate. The two frenemies agreed to team up and search for answers together.

This isn’t part of the AU but after reading your post about Michael ,what are your honest thoughts of people hating on Raphael and them thinking he is also “evil” or “bad”?

I think Raphael's reputation is far more deserved than Michael's. We've seen countless examples of evidence of Raphael being blatantly abusive, both physically and verbally. I'll be honest, from everything we heard in Season 3, I hated Raphael's guts before he ever showed up on screen.

That said, in Obey Me it's never that simple. For example, Lucifer is the same way. The two both engage in very toxic and inexcusable behavior. I think it's a little hypocritical how people will overlook Lucifer's misdeeds while condemning Raphael's. Though, this may very well be because we've had a lot more time to familiarize ourselves with Lucifer's "good" aspects, while Raphael is a fairly new character who we really only know from his worst aspects right now. With Lucifer, we've seen a lot of WHY he is the way he is, we've seen how much he loves his brothers and we've seen a much more tender side to him, we've seen what he's really trying to do even if he's going about it all wrong, and we've seen him trying to improve. We haven't seen this with Raphael yet.

I think people are making fair judgements based on what we know so far, and I think Raphael is FAR from a good person, but I also think Raphael will end up being a lot more complicated than we're giving him credit for and I look forward to the character development he'll get in the ongoing season.

I have a question. How has Beel been doing? probably horrible, I'd imagine. but.. the food problem. how would he be handling it? would he resort cannabalism? or...?

...good question. I never entirely figured that out. I toyed with a few things, but never found something I really liked.

A while ago, someone brought up the idea of Beel taking a bite out of Belphie, and there being a big bite mark on Belphie reminding Beel of what he did. I do like that idea.

I also toyed with the possibility of the brothers sealing Beelzebub in some kind of artifact or pocket-dimension to keep him from eating them. I have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand, it probably makes the most sense because we all know Beel would be incredibly dangerous otherwise, but something just doesn't feel right.

There's also the possibility of Beel turning his hunger on anyone who threatens the brothers. The brothers would face many threats from all parties during the war, and Beel would have no problem munching down a few of them. He may get his sustenance from their enemies on the battlefield.

Honestly, I'd love to hear other opinions on this.
