⌕ spy x family - EP 23.
like or reblog if you save/use
Let's be real, as someone who isn't Jewish, I wouldn't even dare to do something like that to my partner's family, and if something like that happened with my family, I would be pissed off as fuck at my own family for disrespecting theirs like that.
On top of that, I hate the way many conservative Christians think they can just force their beliefs onto others. Fucking disgusting.
The Goyim are fucking wild, the way I would have dumped that casserole over that woman's head, also divorce that wife.
I wanted to hope on board the #CursedCatAlastor wagon over on Twitter, even if I was a bit late. It's just so perfectly stupid. 😂
Main cast are Goncharov himself, his wife Katya (née Michailov), and Andrey
One side character is named Mario Ambrosini. He is described as a “sad boi” and is involved in gambling.
Set in Naples and involving a drug ring/mafia. The plot seems to involve Russian organized crime attempting to get a foothold in Italy.
There is a Boat Scene. Katya survives via resourcefulness.
Andrey and Goncharov have a substantial amount of homoeroticism. Andrey also has an internet in Katya. This forms a true love triangle.
At some point, Katya threatens to shoot Goncharov. This is framed as a Girlboss Moment.
There is also a Beer Bottle Scene.
Katya fakes her death.
That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.
I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.
Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!
I'm jumping off a bridge. Their backstory is so tragic, I can't.
The fact that even Queenie being in the state she was, Kinger still found humanity in her, the fact that he risked his life knowing she could go crazy and attack him just so he could touch her one last time.
And the fact that Queenie allowed him to do it, the fact that she was able to keep control as a abstracted just so she could feel him. Because she loved him and he loved her back and both of them knew her fate, but in that moment, it was just them, their last moment together so both made it work.
This is such a powerful image I want to hug both of them.
horror and erotica are the same thing. flesh and meat and intensity. do you get it.
Loid: Touch her and you're dead.
Person after cat calling Yor: What are you going to do, kill me?
Loid: I never said I'd be the one killing you.
Yor: *Pulls out a knife*
I made a post about this on my Obey Me! side blog but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on why Asmo has 2 nail polish colours as opposed to the other 6 brothers, who have one? I theorise that he painted his nails teal in honour of Lilith but I have no idea
Ooh, I like that theory!
Asmo's nails are definitely intriguing - not only does he have two colours, but one colour is very close to that of his youngest brother, Belphegor.
Arguably pink could also then said to be similar to a combination of Lucifer and Mammon, but there are only so many colours after all.
Pink is very much used as the main colour for Asmodeus, with the Little D's of Lust all sporting pink. It's a colour associated with both romance and femininity in the modern age, though obviously those are qualities that change greatly over time.
One interesting thing to note about the traditional Asmodeus is how popular he remained, long after many other demons were forgotten. In France, Asmodeus was revitalised in the early 18th century (adapted from a Spanish satirical novel some 60 years before) as a witty critic of human foibles, a sharp new cupid, and the prince of dandies.
Many a novel and periodical appearance followed, all featuring a demon who gradually became more handsome as he laid bare the truth of human behaviour after dark. He was dressed in the most magnificent finery, and was very, very heterosexual 👀
(This is before men wearing ruffles and -gasp- fancy clothes was seen as an indicator of sexuality btw.)
That's something that was consistent with the Asmodeus of old too, that his sole focus was upon women, and he looked upon men only to destroy them in his jealousy.
More modern interpretations have changed this, as the Avatar of Lust would surely not restrict himself in such a way. As an example, the Asmodeus from Seven Mortal Sins is pansexual, female, and boobtastic.
Angels, and thus demons, don't really do the whole gender thing and I like that Obey Me acknowledges this at least somewhat by keeping the MC character as gender neutral, thus allowing all genders and sexualities (or lack thereof) to be immersed in the gameplay.

Teal is a fairly classic pairing with pink, and on its own reflects many of the same properties as blue - calming and serene - while avoiding the icier blue traits of loneliness and sadness.
Blue is the colour most preferred by men, which is obviously mostly down to societal conditioning of it being a Manly Colour for Manly Mens bruh, but teal is a nice subversion of those narrow restrictions.
Pink and a very teal-like blue were the fashion of choice in 18th century France, popularised by Madame de Pompadour. Coincidentally, this is at the same time Asmodeus was winning hearts and fluttering pulses across French literature.
Pink and teal are also reminiscent of the trans flag, embodying the traditionally masculine and feminine and more importantly, the reclamation and subversion of such.
(Required historical note - few things illustrate the nonsensical nature of gendered colours as the fact that only a few decades ago, pink was the colour of boys, and blue the colour of girls 🙄)
~
So, what does it mean for Asmo.
I'd theorise that it's partly to express a somewhat androgynous nature, a flirtation with the feminine and masculine both within and outwith himself. (And that in between and outside the binary!!)
It's a fitting look for the Avatar of Lust who seeks to charm all he sees, and perhaps expresses his solidarity with the breaking of stereotypical tropes that most likely seem preposterous to an ancient demon.
While the demons refer to each other using he/him pronouns, they are demons (and once were angels), not humans. Even if they've chosen to look like humans of a particular gender, that doesn't mean they place the same importance upon it as humans have to in a far more unkind society.
Wait, hell is kinder than the human realm?
... that sounds about right actually 😬

As for the theory of it representing Lilith, there's a good chance that could be correct. Few demons are associated with Lilith as often historically as Asmodeus, and in the middle ages, the famed Asmodeus of Solomon's legends was connected with that of Lilith, Adam's first wife.
At this time in history, Asmodeus was regarded as the King of demons, and thus Lilith became the Queen, parents to many, many demons.
(The other legend of Lilith came slightly later, this time having her leave Eden as she refuses to bend to Adam's will, and she beds Samael, the angel of death who carries out god's destruction. Christianity went with Satan instead, who has much of the same role yet is punished.)
Obviously, the relationship in Obey Me is different. But we know all the brothers were deeply affected by Lilith's death, including Asmo. A pledge to carry on her commitment to love - something Asmo greatly sympathised with - would not be surprising.
