Hot take but as a fandom we don’t talk about the effects of The Fall enough
Like yeah obviously we talk about the emotional trauma they have from it, but what about the physical trauma??
Lucifer has to stretch his wings everyday so they don’t start hurting halfway through the day, or sometimes walks around in his demon form because its more comfortable + most likely has permanent back pain (and, even then, he FOR SURE doesn’t take care of it the way it should.
Now he is talked about a bit more, but what about his brothers???
We all agree that Mammon wears sunglasses because he has light sensitivity. I’ve seen multiple posts about it and he even mentions struggling to look at the angels because they’re too bright for him, but what about chronic pain? Or maybe struggling to fly because he never had wings before. Lucifer can only do so much when it comes to teaching him, as he struggles to fly with one set of wings missing now. Mammon can fly faster than anything in the Devildom, but it took centuries for him get to that point
What about Levi’s tail bone aching for years when he first fell because his body is adjusting to having a tail? I saw someone mention Devildom children wearing special braces for their wings and tails because it hurts to get used to. Yeah he had to get one made for an adult because it hurt that badly.
Satan was never an angel, but his brothers talking about their happy memories or saying “you wouldn’t know/remember” because he was so angry and was never in the Celestial Realm likely tears him up inside. Not to mention some headcannons about him sharing some of Lucifer’s memories. I like to believe that they are all memories that Lucifer has from his angriest moments. Satan doesn’t have any good memories from Heaven, and only knows what his brothers looked like in pictures.
Now Asmo. I could write a 50 page essay on his character alone, but that’s only the emotional effect of the Celestial Realm AND The Fall.
He likely aches the same as Levi. He never had wings. Sure, having wings was an honor in the Celestial Realm. It showed status. But he didn’t want these wings. They’re ugly and demonic. He wanted the beautiful white wings that his big brother had, and he was so distraught that he tried to rip them off and bleach them.
Eventually, Lucifer banned the products he was using on them in an attempt to get him to stop, so instead he turned to pleasure. He keeps himself busy even if it makes him feel incredibly disgusting later. He can’t help it. It’s his sin.
I like to believe that, while Beel was Muscular when he was an angel, he’s more muscular now. He spent his first few days in the Devildom in a deep depression. He eventually started working out. It was far from healthy, though. He would push himself until he couldn’t stand anymore. He will never forget about how he wasn’t strong enough to save Lilith, and he never wants to fail another person again. Now he’s extremely strong, but it will never be enough for him. No amount of muscle will ever bring Lilith back.
It’s no secret that Belphegor sleeps a lot, but I wonder if it’s more than just being the avatar of sloth. It’s his way of coping with his anger with his father, his grieving over Lilith, and the pain that comes with falling. The physical and emotional pain is so great that he chooses to sleep. Normally, he would go to Lucifer, but he knows that he’s in no position to hold anyone else up. None of them are, and even though he says that he doesn’t love Lucifer, he’s lying. He hates that he overworks himself, and doesn’t want to add to it.
Call me crazy but there’s a reason why the characters mention the brothers being at their worst when the fall happened initially. This doesn’t even touch on the actual wounds that they had to dress. Plus trying to handle their sins? Yeah that was probably AWFUL.
