#obey me spoilers
please excuse me while i both cry AND throw up
My other favourite relationship in this event is Lucifer & Luke’s
Lucifer just coming down to look for Luke and then reassuring him in his own rough way.
The fact that they washed up in the same area? Absolutely makes me think Lucifer dived in after Luke and brought him to land and then stayed with him
Lucifer worrying that Luke would trip and fall? Good shit
Lucifer with Luke in this event:
Okay but,
Mammon & MC being partners - the implication that they’ve been together longer than they’ve been with the crew and then the rest of the event actually showing that they arepartners;
Mammon finds a second map and shares it only with MC/is willing to share the second treasure only with MC
They’re both willing to go behind the others’ backs and work together
How easily MC tosses him a sword and moves to protect him. How easily he accepts it and cheers them on but also says that being protected would cramp his style and that they need to let him get the next one. Do they have a count? Do they keep track of who protects who or how many enemies they take down? That last line strongly implies they have a tally
How he questions Solomon’s orders but instantly follows MC’s orders despite not knowing what’s wrong
They washed up together so they probably tried to stay together when the ship went down
Him being absolutely worried about MC and MC pretending to be injured just to worry him. The way he falls for it but almost instantly realises they’re just being a dick
The way he phrases it, it’s implied that MC frequently gets in trouble and makes him worry
Were they there when he lost his eye? Does tossing a sword to him and moving to cover for him come so easily to them because they’ve learnt to help cover his blind side?
I’m frothing at the mouth. I need to know more about them
God this event is so good - it has so much room for expansion. From Satan’s father to how Lucifer gathered the crew to all their adventures and how they got a big bounty on their heads to Diavolo’s town and their new crew dynamic to just the idea of pirates navigating a magical world full of monsters (Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas vibes anyone?) You could make six seasons & a movie purely from this event and I’m all for it
Why is MC so fucking funny-
Okay okay so fantasy pirates right?
Hybrids and magic orbs and all that. But the brothers + MC all seem to be human.
They’re also not related like usual and are just a crew that Lucifer picked up.
So being human and not related chances are they’re over a wide range of ages closer to what their personalities are like.
Since they’re human, their ages would be counted like normal people so Satan would be the youngest,
Aka Lucifer being closer to his 40s & Satan being closer to 18 (or something to that effect)
So imagine when Satan says this:
Lucifer is still his father. But he doesn’t know and Lucifer probably knows but he’s too emotionally constipated to say it but it’s partially why he got Satan on to his crew
The Drama✨
No but seriously. Imagine how pissed he’d be! There’s so much potential here.
Why’d Lucifer leave? What’s the treasure? How pissed Satan would be to find out the father he seems to respect so much is Lucifer? Imposter Syndrome as he questions the reasons behind Lucifer letting him join the crew? Bitterness when he realises Lucifer had known all along?
Add to that the magic & fantasy elements and the implication that MC & Mammon were together prior to joining the crew and are willing to go behind the backs of the others to find their own treasure
That’s a show I’d watch in a heartbeat
Mammon & MC being partners (in crime) is my absolute favourite thing ever
’s one of those buy-one-get-one-free offers except one of them plots to rob you blind and the other’s a shameless enabler
@lesson-anon hey I hope you’re doing okay! You didn’t ask for the last two lessons but since this was more or less started for you…
That stupid show still has me in a chokehold and then om! has to roll out the fucking pirate event in the same fucking week what the actual fuck im trying so hard to be normal about this (again sorry @ anyone following my main blog) I also spent a fuck load of dv to get mammon’s new UR and still nothing im this closeto losing my shit
I’m gonna start answering asks after this & open my ask box again
As Usual;
• Links (to screenshots and theories) are in bold!
• Dialogue is HEAVILY paraphrased & the events are HEAVILY summarised/edited so this is in no way a substitute to playing the actual lesson
• Each paragraph represents one chapter of the lesson, I write each paragraph immediately after playing the chapter and so in one paragraph I might theorise what’s gonna happen in the next chapter/paragraph
• Solely gonna focus on “Mammon’s Route”
• language and (somewhat vague) situations
LESSON 72
MC goes to ask Mephisto to help get the opinions of the RAD students about the exchange program but he’s being a racist little bitch about it (Mammon calls him out , Mammon vs Mephisto 1 , Mammon vs Mephisto 2) & MC pulls out the “oh man that’s too bad that you can’t help me, Diavolo was really counting on it. He really sang your praises. That’s too bad. Maybe I can ask Lucifer, I’m sure Diavolo won’t mind. He might even like it bett-” Mephisto agrees to help. In the council room everyone is working. Lucifer who is working on their ledgers with Barbatos leaves to go fix their copier after Beel broke it and Barbatos asks MC if they want to help him with the accounting. MC, who is canonically bad at maths, agrees. Barbatos is impressed by their positive attitude but Mammon ends up correcting their mistakes. When Mammon complains about not being allowed to work in the math side of the council work Lucifer says it has nothing to do with his ability and everything to do with his trustworthiness around money. Belphie tells MC that their 2nd trial feels a little too easy
MC meets with Simeon at a restaurant and the two of them see Luke talking to a demon outside. They share classes together and both like sweets, they had stopped Luke to tell him about a new menu at another restaurant. Simeon says people seem to really love Luke which makes him blush. MC tells him about their report and asks for his opinion on everything and Luke has just grown up so much and I’m so proud of him! Simeon suggests that MC interviews Thirteen as well and Luke gives them some of his home made sweets. At RAD they come across Solomon and ask if he could get in touch with Thirteen for them.
MC & Solomon meet Thirteen and get instantly attacked by her, only for them to leap out of the way. Solomon, bless his heart, defends MC against something Thirteen said except unmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. MC bribes Thirteen with Luke’s sweets to get her to help them. Solomon, just now realising that Thirteen has a sweet tooth, offers to make some sweets for Thirteen which leads to them talking about the first time Solomon brought Thirteen food. Thirteen says she has no opinion either way about peace or the exchange program but for now as long as she’s not bored she won’t cause any trouble.
Thirteen asks Solomon what his thoughts are but they’re cut off by the bell, Solomon asks to take MC on a little date after school and they go to buy potion ingredients with him. He later takes them to The Phantom Spring, a place he’s wanted to take them to for a while but they haven’t gotten to spend time alone since the human world and he says they should use this as a breather from the trials. They thank him for caring. They ask what else they’d get for being his student and he offers to massage the tension from their shoulders.
Solomon says as long as the human world isn’t put in danger he doesn’t mind Diavolo’s plans/exchange program and that he’s actually enjoying being a student at RAD. He then gets serious and asks MC how much they know about what’s going on with Simeon and they say Simeon hadn’t been ready to talk about it with them. Solomon however says that the more people Simeon feels comfortable talking with as things get bad the better it’d be. Back at the HoL Lucifer asks how the report is going and tells them Mephisto was looking for them , (Mephisto vs the brothers?).
Mephisto is upset that MC didn’t go find him immediately after they found out he was searching for them and instead came the next day. He’d finished collecting all the data from the RAD students but all the pages + the final draft of the newspaper had turned blank. Later in class when they tell this to Luke he says that it’s one of the 666 mysteries of RAD. Mammon says that happened to him once but no one believed him & Belphie suggests MC take the half finished report to Diavolo for now. MC goes to see Diavolo, who is happy for the distraction from paper work, he notices the report in their hand and asks to see it only to find out all the pages had turned blank. It’s at this point that I’d have gone on a homicidal rampage
Mephisto catches MC before they break their neck after crashing into him on the stairs. The documents that vanish are only ones that can be deemed important and the two of them decide to team up to solve the mystery. Diavolo overhears and offers to help but is dragged back to his office by Barbatos (rip). The two go to the library where they find Satan and fill him in on what’s happened. Mephisto asks Satan where the especially rare books are and Satan says they’re kept in the restricted section
Anyone other than student council members who need access to the restricted section need permission from Diavolo. But Satan says fuck the rules and breaks them in, MC follows their tingly magic senses towards the section on cats and you know what…why are the books on cats in the restricted section?????????????? The pages in some of the cat books are blank and Satan obviously freaks out and changes into his demon form. Mephisto spots a lesser demon and stops Satan from trying to kill it. MC uses their magic to trap it. Satan & MC take them back to the council and according to the Reference Guide on Lesser Demons this particular type likes playing pranks on others, specifically hiding peoples’ important information (*someone sent an ask about lesser demons some time back, I’ll answer it as soon as possible). Diavolo reveals that MC’s real second trial was to solve this particular mystery as it was bothering all of them (and MC really is unpaid labour at this point right?) And doesn’t this mean MC’s officially part of the council now? Since there were only 2 challenges and 1 preliminary challenge? All of which they completed?
In the locked lesson, in the council room, Diavolo has read MC’s 2nd ed. report that Mephisto had calculated the stats of the results (because once again MC is canonically bad as maths). Diavolo is being an optimist about the results while Lucifer’s being a pessimist.
The hard lesson shows the time Solomon first brought food to Thirteen. She still had it out for him to an extent and he had to face a trap that took the form of angel Lucifer which Solomon saw through as Lucifer had just (somewhat recently?) fallen. The two argue for a bit (well Thirteen argues) and Solomon hands over a home cooked meal to her :)
In the chats:
Thirteen messages MC for the first time because she sees them as being not as bad as they could be and MC asks to meet with them for the interview
Barbatos was to punish Satan, Mephisto & MC for breaking in to the restricted section but Diavolo & Lucifer brush him off
• 80% of the exchange students think they are doing “something silly” by aiming for peace and harmony (yikes) But they are willing to go along with the plan
There are 6 exchange students. 80% means 5/6 (83.3%) students think so - that means MC’s literally the only exchange student that 100% believes in Diavolo’s goal which technically makes sense but yikes
• 60% of the student body doesn’t like the exchange students which yikes but it’s also hilarious because canonically a good number of the normal people in RAD/the Devildom are attracted to MC so like,
FUCK all of ‘em exchange students! but especially *pointing at MC* ~fuck~ that one ;)
Diavolo:I’m impressed they managed to get Mephisto to help them :D
Meanwhile, MC: *name dropping Diavolo every two sentences to get Mephisto’s simp ass to help them*
The books on cats are in the restricted section.
The restricted section can only be accessed by the student council or with permission from Diavolo.
Satan is extremely possessive about the cat books.
He even refers to the books as ‘his’ despite them being the library’s, which Mephisto calls him out on.
So the HC is:
Satan pulled some bullshit and managed to convince Diavolo to put the cat books in the restricted section because he wanted to protect them from ~✨the grubby hands of the common RAD student✨~ and he obviously knows no one on the student council will care enough to try & read them/check them out
Ok ok HC:
Mystery #1 of the 666 Mysteries of RAD
There are always 666 Mysteries. MC & Mephisto just solved one? There’s a new one the next morning. It affects RAD for the whole day as a debut and then settles in with the rest of the mysteries, spontaneously popping up at random intervals
edit:
Apparently according to one of the audio dramas this is canon
This is so fucking funny
“Mephisto’s looking for you but you don’t have to go if you don’t want to”
“Mephisto’s looking for you but feel free to keep him hanging”
“Mephisto’s looking for you but I highly recommend you ghost him”
“Mephisto’s looking for you but he’s a real fucking douchebag and it’d make my whole fucking day if you just pretended he didn’t exist. I’m letting you live in my house for free. Think about that.”
MC:
She could not have been more clearly talking ‘bout you
I’m so fucking proud of him. Also the last two lessons of OM! have been really on point with the life lessons huh
Mephisto:*enters the room*
Mammon:
Mammon being just constantly done with Mephisto is my favourite thing ever
The way it’s almost always Mammon who comes along as moral support
Obey me: “Hey Mo, in chapter 61 we’re going to introduce the possibility of the MC being able to stay at the demon lord’s castle instead of the House of Lamentation”
Me: “oh my god that sounds like a dream come true! Barb was the only romanceable option that didn’t confess to MC, so this could be a great opportunity for Barb lovers like myself to finally get some Barbatos content in the canon story that we dreamed of! Maybe some profession of Barbatos falling in love while we stay at the castle.”
Obey me: “don’t worry, at the beginning of chapter 62, MC made the off screen choice to still stay at the House of Lamentation.”
Me:
