• 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 or 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.

​

• 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.

 

• 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...​​
