i can't even pretend to appreciate all these girlboss redesigns/"updates" of female characters that seem to have had zero thought put into them beyond making her outfit more quote unquote "practical" anymore. like.. not saying i like the fact that every other woman runs around with their tits and ass out while all the dudes are fully clothed, but it's just like. please. for the love of god. if you're gonna redesign a character, redesign the character! don't just ctrl+t & drag the fabric down to cover her legs and call it a day!

idk!! like i realize this is a stupid, nitpicky little pet peeve, but there's just something so patronizing about someone resting on the brownie points they think putting a previously "scantily clad" female character in some uglyass pantsuit version of her original look will net them instead of bothering to put a little thought & effort into it and actually come up with something new for her? tits-and-ass designs are egregious & kinda annoying, yeah, but at least it (usually) feels like there was actual thought put into them lol

#this may be a super unpopular take i realize but its just....... rhrrgbnhb #going through the tpbs of waid's legion & there's concept art included #and the level of thought & detail is just !!#i don't even like this version of the legion that much but god the designs were so good #so very character-specific & made with so much care #whereas every rebirth redesign so far has just looked like these bitches went to h&m and called it a day #and it's extra annoying because these are characters that have existed for soo long at this point #like if you really just wanted to cover her up (which again. i don't even disagree with. at ALL)#she probably has like 376957656 alt designs through the years that you could pull from #instead of just taking the default outfit and making it boring hhrhgnv #it's so annoying!!!!!!! it's such a small thing i know but it IRRITATES ME!!!!!!#every day you see the most creative original gorgeous de-skimpified fan redesigns and then u look at what canon's doing #and it's just. the absolute least.... every time.... hate

hello its the Asmodeus anon from other fandoms me and a couple of friends were talking about Asmodeus and I brought up what you said about the children of the princes of hell, now if i found out my father was a demon and my mother a human was tricked... and I was also thinking of how the Obey me fandom treats Asmodeus.

I think a lot of people put Asmodeus down his character and his design, and Obey me does not do him enough justice.

Now if obey me wasnt a otome game I would like to see what Asmodeus we would have gotten, it is said that Asmodeus is the demon of lust and is therefore responsible for twisting people's sexual desires. It is said in Asmodeus Or, The Devil on Two Sticks that people who fall to Asmodeus' ways will be sentenced to an eternity in the second level of hell.

Asmodeus governs seventy two legions of inferior spirits. Now in D&D he is refered to a somewhat God. In Obey me he can charm people, like a trance like status, in C.C world he is an asshole, a demon powerful just under Lucifer and Samael.

in the book of tobit, Asmodeus is attracted to Sarah (i think in obey me case, Helene) and he slays her several husbands on their weddig night. But Raphael binds Asmodeus before he tried to kill another.

Asmodeus fled from Solomon's wrath and was forced to do his bidding in the book of Solomon and in the Talmud.

Some Catholic theologians compared him with Abaddon. Yet other authors considered Asmodeus a prince of revenge. (Which I think was quite ironic as I always thought Mammon would be a prince of revenge.

Hello again, anon!

I still don't really understand why Asmodeus is the least popular of the Obey Me characters. He's precious and I love him, so I don't know what that's about.

Asmodeus outside of Obey Me certainly has many different versions. They could have gone in all kinds of directions for him. And the interesting thing is that all of these different modern medias are taking the information about Asmodeus from the same ancient sources. I'm sure some of them use different information and I think in some cases the only thing they're using is the name itself, but there is a certain amount of history that's associated even with just the name.

Asmo in Obey Me especially seems to have just the name and the lust connection, but everything else about him seems to be completely unique to the game. If they weren't trying to make him a love interest, they definitely could have tapped into some of the more... well, demonic... stuff that he's done. Such as killing people and what not else.

I also think that there's a lot of room for fan interpretation of the demons' past. All of them have been alive for a long time, so we can easily fill in quite a bit of stuff if we want to. Like it's certainly possible that after becoming a demon, Asmo often went to the human world and ended up with a human/demon hybrid baby. I just imagine any children Asmo has as being incredibly cute.

But all of that would be headcanon territory since they don't give us all that history in the game. I don't think they could even if they wanted to lol. There's just too much of it.

#Asmo deserves better from the game for sure #at least they gave him a really cute card for this recent event #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me asmodeus #anon asks #misc answers
