I don't care what Tabata does with Astaroth in canon. To me there's just something beautiful about there being a devil who already liked humanity, LOVED it even, and wanted to live with and be a part of them.

Now that I also post on Twitter, which unfortunately is evil and doesn't allow long format text posts like Tumblr does, I gotta drip feed this AU in little overview page format like this.

I'm planning to do several of these overview pages for different characters

Astaroth and Astaroth Junior - Two and half devils AU

I haven't drawn him in so long, I really need to get back to my usual AUs

She's got this speech prepared for whenever anyone in the village asks her why she settled down with Astaroth

Two and a half Devils AU - Leaving Hage

Asta's parents were never good at saying no to him

Sunshine x Sunshine protector (the ultimate relationship dynamic)

Local supreme devil dies from cuteness overload

Liebe, you can't just ask someone why they're not a real bird, that's rude

Yuno's reveal as the prince of Space is the worst thing that ever happened to Astaroth. He now gets nightmares of his son eloping with Yuno to a whole different country

Enjoy a lil drawing of Licita with baby Asta that Astaroth keeps in his pocketwatch. Also I've had enough of seeing my art reposted on different sites so from now on we're doing watermarks.

Two and Half Devils AU! - Finding Liebe

Local devil thought he was gonna get laid, was instead surprised by his wife bringing home a new child

Two and a Half Devils AU! - Home schooling

The fact that Hage does not have an actual school means that Astaroth got free reign of teaching his kids whatever the fuck he deems important, devil script included. If only his handwriting wasn't atrocious. (Don't worry, Licita still teaches them how to read and write in Cloverian)

I don't have much for you today, just a doodle of Astaroth picking up produce

Astaroth hating on Yuno for being obsessed with his son is just a textbook example of simp-on-simp violence and he refuses to admit it

Yuno is under naive belief that he can win over Asta's dad. He is wrong

Two and a Half Devils AU - 2 Types of Parents

Astaroth would most likely keep his kids in a bubble wrap if such thing existed in medieval fantasy setting, while Licita believes that kids can and should eat dirt (affectionate).

Black Clover thoughts - devil edition

Quick! Black Clover is coming back from hiatus soon and I need to share my silly thoughts about the devil lore before Tabata ruins it. Some of it is vaguely based of demonology, and some it is just my usual brain rot.

I got so much shit to say about Beelzebub. First of all I need to know what that bitch actually looks like, because how else am I supposed to draw him as anything other than his shadow form or the gremlin form? C’mon Tabata, don’t be shy babygirl, show me the face of the devil that was subscribed to Zenon’s gay depression for the past 20 years or so.

Also regarding Beelzebub, I came up with this whole running joke about how he invented Christianity, which originally started off as an MLM that was ran by him and a human he was contracted to named Jesus. Basically long story short after Jesus’ death he ended up possessing his corpse for a few days, which is how the crazy rumors have started and the ‘apostles’ which really was just Jesus’ downline (minus Judas who was the only one to realize he was being scammed) ended up spreading the news further and over time it spiraled into a religion. I choose to accept it as canon in my heart because I find the idea of a whole religion being accidentally invented by a devil to be hilarious and if I incorporate it into my AUs it means that Astaroth has to grin and bear Orsi and Lily’s good natured offers to baptize his kids, while choosing NOT to tell them that their entire faith is a result of a devil scam.

I don’t have that much to say about Megicula as of yet, other than my personal belief that since in canon she ended up taking Astaroth’s place during the Qlipoth she could’ve been his student/successor back in the underworld. I’m imagining full on ‘crazy disgraced mana theory professor and his sidekick that thinks her superior should probably be institutionalized, but is also writing down everything he says’ vibe. Add in to the fact that Megicula canonically shows no understanding of significance on interpersonal connections and her fascination with things that strike her interest seems rather cold and calculating, and all I’m picturing is this devil critter with a clipboard aggressively writing down stuff while muttering ‘interesting’ at the most boring and benign things about humanity and human realm in general, and I’m saying this specifically within the context of my Peanut Gallery AU.

Adrammelech’s lazy ass during the entire Qlipoth? Iconic. We know nothing about him yet we stan for the personality alone. According to demonology he’s in charge of Satan’s wardrobe, so the idea of him being like a royal stylist? Spectacular, no wonder he acts the way he does with Lucifero. Peak troll behavior.  Also, is that the reason why Lucifero looked the way he did at Qlipoth? Did Adrammelech roll up with some clothes on a hanger and say ‘today we’re doing a maxi skirt and tits out kind of look, people are gonna love this’? And Lucifero just went with it? I demand answers Tabata!

Speaking of the bitch himself! I sincerely believe that Lucifero is shit at what he does. I mean like Augustus level of incompetence. Silv and I had this running joke that the reason underworld is such a shit place to begin with is because Lucifero is very bad at managing it and that the lower rings of the underworld are their equivalent of forsaken realm, but worse,which explains why Liebe’s life there was so terrible before he got yeeted at the hellgates. Lucifero is the single most disliked political figure there but everyone is too scared to say it out loud because of his power. And all the other supreme devils in their political cabinet just have to put up with his ass.

And finally, for the honorary mention in this post - good old Lucifugus. According to demonology this guy is like the prime minister of hell, meaning that Lucifero just pushes all of his paperwork onto him. This man has not had a vacation in at least 5 centuries and he won’t have it for another 5. He hates his job, he wants to retire, he could sign Lucifero’s paperwork in fuckin crayon and his shitty king would be none the wiser because he does fuck all. No wonder he murdered Nacht’s family and all the other people at the ritual. He was probably pissed off at being summoned while he was in the middle of doing Lucifero’s work for him.
