In an epic swimming pool battle, Steel is grabbed by his throat and hoisted into the air by Kid Thing. The giant stud is powerless as he struggles to breathe.
thinking about lucifer post-cage, in pieces from it because nothing could come out of that isolation whole, begging sam to let him in. and it doesn’t sound like a voice, obviously, it’s a whine of tv static and the creak of a window opening and crunching glass spilled on the floor and a knock on something hollow and the last echo in a cave before it’s all silent again. but sam hears him, and he hears him saying, help me help me help me. you spend a couple million years in a locked basement and remember more words than that, and then you can talk. day in, day out, everything sam hears is lucifer, all the rumbling, hissing, coughing, crackling noises of the world, lucifer’s in them. no vessel means that all he can do is surround sam (is it suffocating? yes. lucifer would like to be suffocated. he would like something, anything, to press itself so close to him that he can’t breathe, but nothing does, so he does it to sam instead.)
a wounded animal. and sam is so, so human. he can’t just leave lucifer like that, in pain, not after weeks trying to block him out. weeks where lucifer just got more desperate, louder, screaming at sam because he couldn’t tell if sam heard him at first (if sam was even real, if he was even free at all.)
he’s got to let him in. if he can’t do anything else right, maybe he can stop one being from suffering. just one.
Ridiculous but plausible mental image of Gaeric doing a round of squats and Sabi just grabbing onto one of his arms or his back and clinging to him as he goes up and down and up and down and up --
Pushups are a fun time (not) with a giggly eight-year-old who insists on lounging on his back and wrapping her arms around his neck in an unintentional chokehold in order to not fall off.
Basically, Gaeric has a workout routine, and Sabi will be a part of that routine whether he likes it or not.
Like the way they animated this clearly showed that eating pizza this was is unnatural. Like kiryu dropped some on his front and he had to catch it with his other hand because he chose to eat from the pizza like he was plucking grapes off the bunch
