When you understand that kids and teenagers being salty about literary symbolic analysis comes from a very real place of annoyance and frustration at some teachers for being over-bearing and pretentious in their projecting of symbolism onto every facet of a story but you also understand that literary analysis and critical thinking in regards to symbolism is extremely important and deserves to be not only taught in schools, but actively used by writers when examining their own work to see if they might have used symbolism unintentionally and to make sure that they are using symbolism effectively:

Lilith feelings about the faithful angel x devote deity relationship are those of most exotic pet owners
She wouldn’t trade Lucifer for the world but if you make a joke about how you wish you had an angel boyfriend that worshiped you she will plot your murder right there and then
Lilith: oh you think its cute and funny for your partner to be ~so faithful, No!get a grip, this isn’t like picking up some boytoy from a bar, an angel devotee is a lifelong commitment and responsibility
Lilith: Are you ready for your words to become their Absolute Truth? Are you prepared to manage their active need to die at your feet at all times? Their basic inability to prioritize their own needs over your wants?
Lilith: Do you want to be in a relationship that has at least a one sided toxic codependency but more likely has a mutual toxic codependency, Do you?!? No? Then No, You don’t ‘want an angel partner.’ Shut up.
Don’t get her fucking started on fallen angels and all the baggage religious trauma they bring from their last divinely appointed purpose, people just jumping into cross-species relationships like a cute trend without doing any damn research on cultural and biological gaps

btw part of what's at stake in accepting that the family form is inherently unjust & harmful to children is, you don't have to have endured an anomalous degree of violence, coercion, or abuse in order to have been traumatised by your family & your childhood. it is an inherently violent & terrifying situation to be completely at the mercy of people who have total material and financial control over you. it is inherently violent that they have the legal right eg to hit you or deprive you of privacy, whether or not they personally exercise these rights. all of this also applies to the other most obvious population made vulnerable by the family form, the elderly

I am curious what cherubim's status is.
They are not Officially Fallen the way Lucifer is. They fully retained their angelic essence.
Is their case like Vaggie's? She was punished for not following orders by her direct boss. They were punished for a mistake by their direct boss. Just with less mutilation.

Stuck on the idea of vampires as a kind of reverse fae, or like someone's twisted, perverse attempt at moulding humans into fae.
They're repelled by liminal spaces.
A vampire could never enter fairyland, not just because they'd never be welcomed, but because most of the usual entry-ways are naturally barred to them.
They can't cross running water. They can't be seen in mirrors. They will wait forever at a crossroads, unable to pick a direction to go in. They can't even step over a thresh-hold unless there is absolutely no ambiguity about whether they are welcome inside.
They crave human blood, iron and salt, but are repelled by herbs and plants. They are supernaturally prevented from harming you unless the rules of hospitality have been invoked.
A fairy may replace your newborn child with something unnatural and ever-hungry. A vampire will do the same, but with your grandmother's corpse.
The fae are typically associated, even in stories where they're the bad guys, with flourishing and purity. Vampires, even in stories where they're the good guys, are typically associated with decay and corruption.
The fae turn ancient human burial mounds into fancy halls for their courts. Vampires take ancient human castles and let them grow mildewed and cobwebbed, exchanging the beds for coffins, turning them into burial places.
Fae don't tend to live among humans, but can generally pass for them with relative ease if they so choose. Vampires nearly always live among humans, but tend to find not revealing themselves a huge struggle.
I can't think of many stories I've read where fae and vampires even exist in the same universe, let alone ones where they actively interact. I feel like their enmity is almost more inevitable than that between vampires and werewolves, however.
The rivalry between vampires and werewolves is, essentially, the rivalry between two apex predator species who share a territory. (Even in stories where the werewolves aren't actually hunting humans.)
The vampires hate the werewolves because the werewolves interfere with their access to prey. The werewolves hate the vampires either because they consider themselves aligned with humans (the prey species), or because they are also predators and the vampires are competing with them.
By comparison, I think there's some story potential in the fae finding something genuinely creepy and uncanny valley about vampires.
They're immortal, like them, but also dead. They can be beautiful, like them, but that beauty is something they actively require humans to sustain. They like to inhabit beautiful and ancient ex-human dwellings, like them, but they actively work to make those places dark, damp and empty.
Fairies who are unflappable in the face of all sorts of Otherworldly monsters, can look an eldritch horror in the eye(s) without blinking, and have never been phased yet by any human, but will recoil from even the weakest vampire.
Vampires who hate fairies just as much, but in a more envious way. The way that the creature for whom immortality is a curse is bound to hate the creatures for whom immortality is an eternity of sunlight and laughter.
Maybe their touches burn each other. Maybe vampires can't stand physical contact with anything so alive and vital. Maybe immortal fairies become ill from too much exposure to the undead.
Maybe they fight over the human population when their territories overlap. The fairy need for servants and people to make deals with, competing with the vampire need for thralls and blood to drink.
Just… fairies and vampires. We need more stories about them interacting.

Angel: I'm so happy, I could kiss you! Husk: Um...Neat. *later* Husk, lying face down on his bed: I said "Neat," Vaggie. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid. Vaggie, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, man. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Charlie confessed her love for me? Husk: Didn't you thank her? Vaggie: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked her.

You know when someone goes through your blog on a mass like-spree for a fandom? I love those like, 19 notifications in a row. it’s like “Ah, I see you’re well into a fixation. God bless.”

Lilith doodles, still getting used to her but boy is she fun
There should be more Lucifer hanging off her and her horns like a perch (it’s the least awkward way to get their faces close together)

One day I will do full character pages with the Archangels designs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today is not that day, have this instead
Been thinking about the kind of art and depictions they’d have in Heaven (specifically what they would even do with the ones of Lucifer) and I ended up with a lot of brain worms about symbols and posing and how they’d be grouped with each other
And now I have Artist rendering of statues, depictions of archangels tend to simplify their halos out of respect and for utility, different combinations are used for different meanings and will put emphasis on different aspects of their duties, Gabriel+Raphael is a symbol of progress and medicine, Gabriel+Michael is a symbol of military strength and protection
the core trio (Lucifer, Michael, Raphael) would normally mark areas of authority, and diplomacy, Uriel and Gabriel’s are at the entrance to the Archives and the surrounding laboratories,  Observatories and communication posts
….-I am only realizing now how much mental heaven world building I’ve done
I do have plans to do ones for Jophiel and Zadkiel too be on the look out for that in the future
