The name's Wren. 30+y/o, ftm(he/him/his), white, queer. This is my personal blog where I post about stuff and things, mostly. twitter is @BlaackbiirdWren. tiktoks is @blaackbiird_wren. art tag is #myart. ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/blaackbiird
personally I don’t think people lean enough into the fact that Lucifer could fucking demolish Alastor without breaking a sweat. There’s too many fics where Alastor’s threats scare Lucifer and like what??
I love their antagonistic relationship. I love the idea of their rivalry, of them needling each other and pushing each other to break composure. I love the idea that Lucifer is emotional and easily annoyed/pissed off and Alastor loves playing off that.
But if Alastor ever genuinely threatened Lucifer? There’s no way Lucifer would take that seriously, or lying down. Of course he’d put Alastor in his place if he ever actually needed to.
I need more fics of Alastor attempting to threaten Lucifer, or pushing Lucifer too far, and then learning exactly why he’s the king of Hell.
The very best thing about The Phantom of the Opera is that it shows us a possibly supernatural occurrence, then gives us a natural explanation that is infinitely crazier than the supernatural one would have been.
What if there was a ghost in the opera house that was killing people?
Requires you to accept the existence of ghosts, but otherwise is a straightforward story.
What if the chief contractor who built the opera house was a deformed circus freak who used his experience building palaces and torture chambers for sultans to keep building secret passageways and torture chambers in the basement when construction halted during the Franco-Prussian War, and then kept living down there working on an opera and killing and blackmailing people who crossed him and also training a pretty opera singer that he wants to marry?
There is nothing in the world that could have prepared me to expect even half of that.
