Gabriel:*gives Michael his phone, Adam is calling* Here, your boyfriend is calling

Michael: He is NOT my boyfriend!

Michael:*answers the phone* Hello, sunshine!

Gabriel:....

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

Sumeru made Genshin suddenly feel like a horror game. I found my first leopard AFTER hearing it, triggering a flight or fight response I didn't now I had. My first Ruin Drake encounter was also the first encounter with the withering zone.

But by far the scariest thing is the Fragment of Childhood Dreams domain. With its giant, overgrown pit full of cloudy water that I dropped into before finding out were to go. With the freaky ominous music in the background. My massive Thalassophobia is making itself very apparent.

[Cas and A disheveled Gabriel meeting up with Sam and Dean for ice cream after a day at the park]

Sam:*shocked when he sees Gabriel* What happened babe?

Cas:*holding an ice cream cone,sitting on Deans lap* Instead of feeding bread to the ducks Gabriel fed them bird seeds and they all turned on him.

Sam:Turned? *wide eyes* as in..?

Cas:*pulls out his phone,shows him a video he filmed where Gabriel is standing on a bench,clutching bird seeds to his chest while all around him ducks quack angrily*

Dean:If he was standing on a bench then why does he look like the ducks walked over him?

Cas:Watch.

[In the video Gabe jumps off the bench and properly trips over his own feet,ducks attack,pecking and start stepping over him]

Sam:*hugging Gabe* my poor baby.

Dean:*laughing* Aw man that’s awesome. Send me that.

Gabe:Your boyfriend didn’t help me at all!

Cas:If I would have helped you I would have never filmed a great video.

Gabe:You threw more bird seeds at me!

Cas:*smiling* it was very funny.

Derek: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Boyd: Several traffic violations.

Erica: Three counts of resisting arrest.

Stiles: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Isaac: Also, that’s not our car.

Jekyll: I turned out perfectly fine! I'm perfectly okay!

Jasper: Sir, this morning you thought a ghost made your toast.

Jekyll: I DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN! YOU DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN!! NO ONE ELSE PUT THE BREAD IN!!!

Steven: There's right, there is wrong. . . And then there is you.

Jake: So what am I?

Marc: Nothing short of an absolute catastrophe.

*loud thudding noise*

Derek, sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose: What was that?

Stiles: A box fell down the stairs.

Derek: That sounded a lot louder than just a box.

Stiles: Isaac was in it.

god dream having talked about how he was a bad kid and did a lot of stupid stuff and made life stressful for his parents and feeling like a burden to people but bad willing to give him a second chance when he was younger and unbanning him on a server and that turning into bad taking dream under his wing and helping him through some of the worst parts of his life (dream’s own words) and bad offering dream the money that was meant to go towards his rent in order to help dream start his youtube career and help this little kid he met on a minecraft server and watched grow up chase his dreams and now dream doing the same for the young creators he meets from letting tommy onto the smp despite his reputation of being a nuance and now being one of the first people tommy comes to when he needs advice or a guiding hand, or him whitelisting ranboo, a newbie streamer with little to no connections, because he saw potential in him and helping to open so many doors,,, just the way that dream’s motto is bring your friends with you and uplift the people around you because that’s what bad did for him :(

Sam: (drunk) hey! You’re my favourite bitch

Gabriel: I… didn’t realize I was your bitch. Or that you had other bitches

Sam: your other personalities are also my bitches, but this one’s my favourite.

Gabriel: awwww…I think?
