Belphegor: Since it's impossible to know which part of my life is the middle
Belphegor: I've decided to have an ongoing crisis.
Asmodeus: I can't go. Stress is bad for the baby.
MC: What baby?
Asmodeus: Me
Reblogging this so I don't lose it because oh my god I love it
The eye of the hurricane. I like to think Cassandra sometimes called the brothers by the nicknames their dad used, given they were probably pretty close before his passing.
BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST
Man oh man, this one was way messier and off model than my last few updates but whatever, we got to keep this ball rolling! Life's been crazy so I've had to take some unwanted breaks in between updates. Thanks everyone for your patience as always!
One thing I wanted in this flashback was to really get a sense of how the brothers worked as an experienced team with Leo at the helm as a proper leader. It's something we never got to see much of in Rise and I felt it was important to include since half the team is already gone by the time of Replica. Team Dynamics Ted Talk under the cut!
We know from Casey Jr that Leo stressed the importance of listening to your team. A big part of that also means knowing how to communicate with them in general.
With Michelangelo, he keeps it short and succinct, trusting his brother to know what he's doing when in his element. This trust goes a long way with Mikey, having spent years of his youth as the baby striving for the respect he felt he deserved. Leo knows it's best to not bog Mikey down with details, allowing him to improvise as needed. This unspoken freedom has only grown over time as Mikey has dipped deeper into spiritual arts that, frankly, go completely over Leo's head.
The greatest sacrifice Leo has ever made was read Donnie's Big Book of Bad Guy Codes. While he doesn't remember ALL the numbers, he has memorized the ones that matter and it has helped tremendously in avoiding miscommunication with his genius brother. More importantly it silenced any of Donnie's usual belly-aching. As Leo's "twin"/"equal" the two still butt heads from time to time. Donnie respects his brother's authority (mostly) but will still push the boundaries of what he's allowed on a semi-regular basis. Give Donnie an inch and he will take the mile and then find a loop hole that allows him to go twenty miles more. This is partially due to him often being the one left behind at HQ, making the turtle just a TAD stir crazy. Leo does his best to keep him in line regardless.
Big brother Raph will forever and always be big brother to Leo. As such he holds a place of authority in Leo's heart and is someone he still regularly seeks counsel from in both the ways of leadership and more. Raph is always happy to support his younger brother and does a surprisingly good job (albeit after years of practice) of walking the line so as not to step on his brother's toes in the process. At least not since the secret of "the Key" blew up in their faces several years ago. They don't talk about that anymore. Leo is the leader now and he's done a great job in recent years as far as Raph is concerned. He trusts him to make the right call. The two have a close bond and regularly use mind meld to quickly communicate rather than speak ...this will be important to remember for the future.
Hope that overall feeling came through for this group!

Lucifer: Mc, can I talk to you for a moment? In private.
MC: Ooh, someone's in trouble.
MC: It's me.
MC: I don't know why I did that.
MC, texting Satan about a book they just read: A theif.
Satan, tired on drinking his fifth coffee: Thief?
Mc: Theif.
Satan: I before E except after C.
MC: Thceif.
Satan: No.
Asmodeus: When I was young, I left a trail of broken hearts lie a rockstar. I'm not proud of it.
Tired Satan: You're kind of proud of it. You work it into a lot of conversations.
Lucifer: We were just talking about catching that cat.
MC: What do you mean 'when I was young'? You're still leaving broken hearts every week Asmo.
After literal years I've finally remembered I have this blog. Rereading my old work was actually really nice, and while I'm not sure if my skill level is the same as it was I'm going to give it a shot at getting back into this whole writing thing
Mammon: I'm a firm believer in "if you're going to fail, you might as well fail spectacularly."
Asmodeus: Fuck, marry, kill- Lucifer, Beel and MC
Solomon: Fuck Beel, marry MC and kill Mammon.
Mammon, overhearing from the hall: I wasn't even one of the options, what the fuck?
