• The more we think about Lucifer and what he's gone through, the more horrible we feel... It's indescribably tragic. 

​

Lucifer genuinely thought he was doing something good. That humans could do great things. But his gift went more terribly wrong than he could have ever imagined. He lost the only home he ever knew. He lost his family in Heaven. All he had was Lilith (and later Charlie). 

​

Along with being eternally trapped, he is forced to see the consequences of his well-intentioned actions every single day. Forever. He has to see sinners violently attacking and killing each other, sexually abusing others, and making deals to own their souls.

​

We can't imagine how hopeless and heartbroken he must feel to see his gift being abused in such a way... There are obviously people who do good in the world, but Lucifer is never allowed to see them. He is only ever able to see those who use their free will to do the most horrible things.

​

We honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the reasons he began to self-isolate. Because he didn't want to see the horrors of his decision. He didn't want to have even more constant reminders of his shame.

​

We can't really blame him at all for being an absent king and having no interest in properly ruling Hell. What reason does he have in trying to manage it? In his perspective, there is probably nothing that he could do to keep the awful people in Hell under control. 

​

And this is only further worsened by his punishment of being unable to harm or kill sinners. There are apparently loopholes to this, such as his powers being able to be used through a weapon instead of himself directly, but this drastically decreases his capabilities as king.

​

It was also implied in episode 5 of season 1 that Lucifer previously did try to find good in sinners and try to help them, but that his efforts heavily backfired. Every good thing he tries to do for others always goes wrong. And at some point, when you experience nothing but punishment for everything you attempt to do, you will begin to feel like you can't do anything anymore. 

​

Lucifer has fallen into a miserable acceptance. That this is how the rest of his eternity is going to be. And on top of everything else, his wife vanished, who was most likely one of the only positive anchors he had in his life. All he has left is his daughter, who he fears wants nothing to do with him. 

​

We wonder if he ever blames himself for Lilith's disappearance... It was apparently so sudden that neither Lucifer nor Charlie have any idea why she left. He's probably spent the last 8 years ruminating over every single word and action that could have possibly led to her leaving without saying anything to him. He's not even sure if they're married anymore, or if Lilith still loves him. He has no idea if he'll ever see her again. But even so, he still loves her.

​

Despite all the madness, the trauma, and heartbreak, Lucifer still finds it in himself to be able to love and care for others, even if he's only currently able to hold those feelings for his family.

​

• This is purely a headcanon and the show currently hasn't shown anything to support this, but we really like the idea of Lucifer naming all of his ducks. Though he can't remember the names of most people, you could point to a random duck and he'd instantly be able to tell you its name, even being able to differentiate ones that look identical to anyone else. We just think that'd be cute...

​

• We also refuse to believe that he hasn't jumped into his pile of ducks and happily allowed himself to be buried in them.

​

• More Than Anything seems to be Charlie and Lucifer's motif. An instrumental version of it even plays during their conversation in episode 1 of season 2. And it bothers us a little bit that the reprise of that song is instead sung by Charlie and Vaggi. We still really like the sound of the reprise, but it was an odd choice.​

​

• Some people seem to believe that Lucifer had an affair with Eve based off a comment he made to Adam ("Your first wife didn't seem to mind what I had to offer, or the second."), and even the Wiki states it as a possibility. But we really, really disagree with that idea. Lucifer is so loyal to Lilith; that has been displayed time and time again. And even if he did have an affair, that is not something he would be bragging about. He would feel deep shame and guilt. We're confident that he only made that suggestive comment to Adam to rile him up.

​

• Ever since falling for Lucifer, we've never been able to see the devil in the same way. Whenever we see mentions of him in passing, our first thought is always of Luci... And we are no longer capable of seeing the devil in a negative light, despite how he's typically perceived.

​

Instead of fear and hatred, we want to send nothing but love and sympathy his way... We hope it makes him feel at least a little bit better and more hopeful.

​

• Luci's love for ducks has also rubbed off on us... They previously weren't an animal we thought much about, but now we find ourselves watching a lot of videos of them... And he is always our first thought whenever we see one.

​

• We've been thinking about why Lucifer hasn't created actual living ducks instead of only having rubber ones, but we believe he simply just doesn't want to subject ducks to the environment of Hell. They are above that!

​

• We love imagining preening Lucifer's wings... Since he has six it may take quite a while, but we don't mind.

​

• We want him to sing us a lullaby... We'd instantly fall asleep. 

​

• We think Lucifer's pridefulness is cute, and we would regularly smother him in praise. People think his pridefulness is bad now? We will happily do nothing but further boost his ego.

 

• Lucifer being the sin of pride has made us wonder which sin we'd be the embodiment of, and we think we'd be the sin of envy. The sins of pride and envy being together makes for an interesting dynamic...​​

​

• We've been trying to think of ship names for us and Lucifer... We've been basing them off us seeing ourselves as a dragon.

​

One of our first thoughts was Fallen Dragon, and a friend suggested Wings of Hell. However, we like Hellscales best, and it'll probably be the one we end up using most.

​

We tried to think of something that relates to Lucifer's love of ducks as well, but we don't think Duck Dragon or Dragon Duck sound all that good.
