Warning I will be rambling and yap im not sure how much sense it will make but buckle up if you’re willing to read thank you

While I’m not one to really voice my opinions on specific chapters until they’re completely done I feel this one needs to be spoken about more. Mainly because I feel this chapter has a lot of nuance in it, the way it read to me is very different. It almost felt like Simeon had the overwhelming sense of responsibility to take care of Luke and Raphael and felt guilty for causing them both so much sadness seeing his want and desire to be a demon as selfish. I honestly felt that Simeon would much prefer to be a demon (or stay a human if necessary) much more than ever becoming an angel again, the line “I’m no longer running away” feels like it would fit better if he did become a demon or stayed a human being able to acknowledging that he can’t keep trying to stay on both sides and and not taking the time to think about what he wants for himself and not feel the need to constantly do things for others. His reason for being turned human instead of a demon is because he would’ve greatly preferred being a demon hence his punishment was being turned human and not demon like his brothers. He saw how happy everyone was after they fell and they all care for each other like they did in the celestial realm. But again he still felt responsible for causing Luke and Raphael to feel abandoned so he pushed his wants away and he only became an angel again because he said out loud he wouldn’t mind it and since father and Micheal wanted to get Simeon back to the celestial realm they took the opportunity to do so while he had that window of guilt and shame for “being selfish”. If it was just babel that made him an angel because he truly wanted it I don’t think it would transfer over or even really effect anything again everything that happened in babel didn’t really happen outside of that little pocket babel is in. So all in all I feel this whole thing with Simeon ended in the opposite direction it should’ve, I’m not saying that anyone’s wrong or right since it is what it is but I just needed to yap about my opinion on the story.

The End of Simeon’s Journey

In the end whether he became a demon or an angel was up to him. He had to want to be an angel again, he had to miss and love his home and friends. If he didn’t care at all then why be one? It makes perfect sense, it was a deliberate journey of self discovery that could have easily gone either way.

Something More Curious…

The biggest part I wanna talk about though is that not even six of seven of the strongest demons in hell noticed Simeon was no longer human or demon, but LUKE DID

Lucifer and the game have hinted many times that Luke has seraph potential and I believe he will be on Michael’s level one day. The little angle is going straight to the top.

The confirmation. Simeon is an angel again and it’s what he wants. It had to be his decision in the end.

thinking about how angels and demons treat their kids compared to humans, like-

was the demon kings neglect really extreme enough to be some form of abuse in actual demon society? Why is Luke expected to cook for Simeon and Solomon? Why is Luke treated so- weirdly??

For Diavolo, I think he was overselling his tragic childhood a bit- I'm your average Diavolo hater but I seriously do think he was just severely under socialized and if he was around other children and their parents he would realize that hey, my dad definitely has something against me but he's a pretty basic demon parent™️ (also he would resent his own species less frfr)

I say this because of the casual(?) way he treated that death trap his father called teaching in nightbringer, I like to imagine that he's actually grown since his comically lonely childhood and is able to rationalize it properly.

Anyways this post is actually mostly about Luke

so, I feel like Luke wouldn't understand what to do if you held your hand out to him, like I imagine angels don't really chaperone their youngest that directly,

(considering how much they put the little lad to work and how in nightbringer Luke took over the cooking entirely??? Like- immediately?)

so Luke wouldn't understand the very human desire to protect their stupid offspring in small ways,

human children are barely alive and will fully walk into the street if unsupervised, angel children will not.

If you were out in public with Luke and you're leaving a store and you do that silent stretching out your hand for them to take that parents do he would just stare at you like "why's your hand in my face 🤨" it would probably be real awkward

(Sorry for rambling I didn't sleep will probably delete this and rewrite it better tomorrow?)

Just to state the obvious, we're seeing a theme of people masqueradeing as Barbatos

Or atleast trying to lol

Diavolo's plan seems hugely dependant on all three races as a whole being individually under one definitive ruler, (Michael, The Demon King) with this being undoubtedly and obviously false for humans I really just have to wonder if he even truly understands that fact.

He knows compared to demons and angels there are a small amount of humans, but does he account for how widespread and disconnected from each other we are?
