BEELZEBUB | the gluttony scene
- Any other time, he'd be joking that if he had to die, he wants to die eating. He understands that now's probably not the best time to tell you that.
- He feels a bit sad for some reason. He's not sure if it's the poor bloke's death on screen or the movie's gritty atmosphere in general.
- Ravenous hunger has its downsides, but most of the time he enjoys eating food. He can understand why being forced to eat would be emotional and literal torture for someone.
- He knows he could eat that much pasta without breaking a sweat, but he doubts it would be comforting to you so he doesn't say it out loud.
- He wonders how much he'd have to eat for his body to break down in protest of finally being too full, but he keeps that to himself too.
MAMMON | the greed scene
- It's not a horror movie but the dark vibe still gives him the creeps.
- He hasn't had to look away (yet) but he tucks you closer to his side so you can cuddle. You can hide your face in his chest for the gross parts if they bother you, he won’t tease you.
- He sorta gets an inkling about the greed motif— something about a scummy lawyer and money trading hands is his first guess about why this guy was targeted.
- Eh, close enough.
- There are a lotta ways to kill someone with greed without actually killing them, y’know.
- (He doesn’t wanna talk about ‘em though. He doesn’t want you to think badly of him.)
BELPHEGOR | the sloth scene
- What the actual fuck.
- He was feeling a bit sleepy watching the movie up to this point, but he's not anymore.
- He understands the interpretation of his sin, but he's surprised to see such an ugly version of it in a human world movie like this.
- If he senses that you're uncomfortable, he tries to distract you until the scene ends.
- Now seems like a great time to pause the movie so you can both get up and get a drink, or stretch—or maybe go for a nap if you're tired and don't want to finish it right now.
- (He's going to make sure you don't have bad dreams after this.)
ASMODEUS | the lust scene
- He's had custom sex toys made before, but something like this? Yeesh.
- Literally fucking someone to death seems so brutal, so unromantic. This isn't how he would do it, but he doesn't tell you that; he doesn't want to scare you.
- (If he had to kill someone using his sin, he'd fuck them before ripping them open from stomach to sternum.)
- (If he had to kill you with his sin, he’d make love to you until you eventually fall asleep. Your death will be instant and painless before he cuts out your heart and eats it.)
- He notices that this part of the movie made you squirm in your seat more than the others so far.
- Maybe a warm bath and cuddling in his bed will help you relax once the movie's over. He’s suddenly overcome with the urge to hold you.
LUCIFER | the pride scene
- It feels anti-climactic compared to some of the other portrayals of sin so far, but he appreciates the simplicity. He was afraid it would be needlessly gruesome like the others.
- Pride is insidious, the mother of all sins, the first deadly bloom that causes all others to fester and rot on the vine.
- He can’t help the way his mind wanders after this. As an angel, he tried to resist sin. As a demon, he embraces it. Humans are weak and he knows for many, pride is their downfall.
- You might not believe you could be pushed to make such a fatal choice, but Lucifer senses the way your own blend of pride lingers within you too.
- He keeps silent about those thoughts and he wraps his arm around you for the rest of the film.
LEVIATHAN | the envy scene
- He’s unusually quiet. He doesn’t complain or whine about how boring it is, and he doesn’t reach for his handheld either. Sometimes he looks puzzled by what’s on screen, and other times he seems contemplative.
- He’s a little surprised by the ending. Speechless almost. He understands envy, but to do all this?
- And the part with the wife, well...he thinks it's just a bit of an overreaction, don't you?
- He can’t help but glance at you once the movie's over. He thinks about life before you and life with you now; he can't imagine life without you in it anymore.
- Would he be capable of that type of jealousy if you didn't choose him? If he had to watch someone else live their own happily ever after with you while he suffered alone?
- Huh.
- When the movie ends, he distracts you with an impromptu game night in his room and he cuddles with you in his tub after.
- His tail curls around your leg as you drift off to sleep, and he realizes he'd do so much worse just to keep you by his side.
SATAN | the wrath scene
- For the most part, he's been less interested in the portrayal of sins. He's totally wrapped up in the mystery aspect of the movie instead.
- Throughout the entire film, he's muttered under his breath about certain things he noticed or his guess about what might happen next.
- (He’s read all the books mentioned in the library scene too.)
- He figured that the cop with the short fuse was going to be involved somehow with wrath. He actually thought the character was a bit annoying.
- He does sympathize with the cop's behaviour at the end—all he has to do is think of someone hurting you and it makes him seethe with rage.
- The reveal about the wife caught him completely off-guard but thinking about it later, it seems so obvious.
