so i wrote a thing about dream and lucifer,,,

@zeromarker​

this is the most bewildering, perplexing reply i’ve ever gotten, i, just can’t stop thinking about it, because, i’m sorry, i just, i literally forgot that the lucifer tv show exists & that the sandman tv show hasn’t hit season of mists (where maze and lucifer make out with tongue in front of dream),,,

...anyway, lucifer and mazikeen are. canonically married after lucifer (2000) and share the same last name and kiss and have sex and lucifer canonically is a pillow princess for her,,,

so

yeah they did get together

i'm genuinely soooo over the moon abt this series rn listen

like. i wasnt sure what they were going to do with dream country. but oh my god the fact that they released a bonus episode means that season 2 would go DIREC T L Y into season of mists.

one thing i'm enjoying immensely is the ppl who have not read sandman, who don't know what lucifer is abt to do. i am deeply >:) about it

some things that s2 could bring, following season of mists, include

i think personally the gault storyline could have been improved slightly by leaving the end of it until after dream comes back from hell, since then the hypocrisy would really hit dream. like imagine. dream goes "we can't change who we are~" and then actively has to confont the fact that that sentiment is actively harmful, for example, to lucifer

but at the same time i understand why they would 1) want to wrap up that plotline, and 2) not make their main character seem like a total bitch right at the end of a season, so, it makes sense

basically s1 is good content plleeeaaasee give me a season 2

thanks so much!!! :DDc

honestly, lucifer's character design varies so much based on who draws him, not just the comic/adaptation version, imo. i think i did a post like this before actually

in general my favorite versions of lucifer are the ones that emphasize the angel part, and the ones that emphasize the Gender. so i prefer versions of lucifer where his hair is a bit longer, and he's not a Buff Dude. i like when his design is a little more neutral

hence, my favorite versions of lucifer include (not really ordered since i like them for different reasons)

i'm mehh about other character designs from the lucifer (2000) series and sandman. frankly i really don't like a lot of the sandman design -- he's very Muscled sometimes. and he's just so...Cis Male-Coded in the art, while he's pretty explicitly not either? so i'm not a big fan of most of the lucifer series character art of him.

the covers, on the other hand, can be really lovely. like . the one where he's being carried by death. (for lucifer 2016, the best cover is the one w mazikeen and lucifer having a tender moment)

i'm also of the opinion that tom ellis is fun and cool, but the lucifer tv series really really feels soo different from sandman lucifer, so like, not really the same character? lucifer from wicdiv has a very good design tho -- not the same character but very good vibes nonetheless

i also don't realllyyyy like the lucifer (2018) version -- or rather, i liked him in the beginning w the beard, but later he just felt very. idk, the sharp acrylic nails are a Lot. that being said, i think theres something to be said about the idea of him having to rebuild his entire body while in agony, and what that form looks like because it was built while he was in a very vulnerable, hurt mindset. like, he's sharp and pointed and it fits with the character being harsh and violent in that moment, as a reaction to being imprisoned.

since lucifer is a very metaphysical character, there are some interesting character design bits that stick out to me that are his choices, e.g., his hair color. it seems to me that his hair is a sort of ginger, but that he sometimes alters it to be blond (this can be seen in lucifer #8 p. 19 when he comes back to lux). i don't have much of an explanation for this, but it's an expression of how he presents himself in the human world

his eye color. some artists draw it blue, some draw it gold; i personally like the interpretation that they're more gold when he's emotional & there's some more Power there.

his wings, too. it's clear he has a choice what type of wings to have, since it changes between panels -- i think it's most interesting to analyze when it changes, and what that reflects. for example, his wings become batlike when he and michael are falling into yggdrasil and remain so for a long time -- reflecting his emotional state throughout that part of the series.

anywayyyy there's your way too in-depth discussion of lucifer morningstar's character design. tldr im gay

SANDMAN TV MADE SOME REALLY GOOD CHOICES AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM AT FULL VOLUME

this is basically my favorite piece of art i’ve done in the last couple of years so. here :)

don’t mind me. dumping art i did like a year ago but never posted

i think i stared at a lot of like. sailor moon images when i made this

anyway lucifer deserves a nap with his husband

maze, watching lucifer set the giants on fire but sort of accidentally also setting the naglfar on fire just a little bit: .......hot

sea hawk and mermista have always reminded me of lucifer and mazikeen

Just remembered to respond to this reply. Anyway, it’s because I co-wrote it 😅
