Armageddon: What Is This AU?

The Armageddon AU is an apocalyptic alternate timeline of Obey Me in which the exchange program was never created. This page is dedicated to all the juicy details of this AU that people (mostly me) cook up in our free time. Any and all contributions, whether it be headcanons, further lore development, speculation, art, or fanfiction, are wholeheartedly welcomed.

Be aware that this AU, by nature, is extremely dark and contains disturbing subject matter that may not be suitable to everyone. No punches are pulled here; this is an apocalypse.

~~~

To keep away from one intimidating essay, the main timeline is split up over a series of Lore Posts:

Lore I - The Beginnings of Destruction

Lore II - A Disrupted Balance

Lore III - A Scorched Celestial Realm

Lore IV - Hell Frozen Over

Lore V - Power-Sick

Lore VI - The Move to the Human World

~~~

There are also Character Files, which detail the roles of specific Obey Me characters in this AU:

Character File: Simeon

Character File: Luke

Character File: Satan

Character File: Michael

Character File: Raphael

Character File: Diavolo

Regarding MC

Character Files?

I’m considering putting additions on this blog called Character Files, where each post goes in depth about a specific character’s role in this AU. But at the same time I want to give others room to contribute, so I’m not sure yet.

I’ve added links in each of the lore posts to the previous and next posts in the lore series, to make the lore easier to navigate. I’m also working on a special Lore VIII and Lore IX- though those won’t be leaving my drafts for a loooooong while, as they’re essentially an epilogue to this AU.

(Additional content taking place at any point in the lore will still be created and accepted after the epilogue, this AU project is never going to officially “end”. I just want to make sure all the major stuff is out there for context before releasing all the lore, and I want to give you guys some time to digest the current lore before continuing.)

A Peek Into Angel Vision

So, in this AU, a large percentage of angels have been blinded. If not completely blind, with significant impairment. This may raise the question of, how can they be effective soldiers in the war? There’s a lot that blind people can do that can be surprising to a sighted person, but regardless, it’s hard to imagine being able to withstand the heat of battle without even being able to see your opponent. And if your comrades can’t see either, that makes it even harder. So I figured I’d delve a bit more into how the angels work around their limitations.

Like most blind people in real life, I imagine angels do a lot of compensating with their other senses like hearing. However, angels also have another sense that we don’t see in the real world: magic sense.

We’ve seen some indications in canon that angels and demons can “sense” magic. Many characters have pointed out sensing odd energy from a cursed object, and things like that. I think this ability could be extremely useful to blind angels.

Any angel or demon likely radiates some kind of magical energy or aura. Their very existence is entwined with their angelic/demonic magic, after all. So, an angel who can sense magic can figure out some pretty important things. Where other people are in relation to them, whether these people are angels, demons or humans, how magically powerful these people are, etc. They could also detect the casting of spells and possibly determine what the spell is without actually seeing the effects with their eyes. This sense would be extremely useful for blind angels to engage in battle, dodging spells and honing in on an opponent, as well as being useful for socializing with each other because they can be more easily aware of each other’s location. This magic sense is still extremely vague and doesn’t help with everyday, non-magical objects, so other workarounds are needed there, but nonetheless this sense is extremely helpful. In some ways, it’s even more helpful than vision- they can sense magic beyond things like walls that one couldn’t see past, helping to detect ambushes.

I also imagine angels began using some form of braille. This actually works to the angels’ advantage; not many abled humans know braille, much less demons. What started as simply the most accessible form of communication for disabled angels ends up becoming code language that is extremely important for conveying information from angel to angel without enemy interception. Braille has likely become the primary method of communication among angels, as there is such a small percentage of sighted angels that non-blind-accessible forms of communication have become obsolete.

It’s also important to note that whatever advantage the demons may seem to have over the angels due to their eyesight isn’t actually all that great. The demons’ eyesight isn’t perfect either anymore. Though the demons’ eyes were not physically damaged, they were drenched in complete and utter darkness for a quite long period of time before moving to the Human World. That inability to use their eyes to see anything for so long has done some damage, and some demons seem to “forget” how to see. Things like depth perception, visual discrimination, and distance determining become difficult for demons who have grown accustomed to not using their eyes, and it’s easy to visually overwhelm a demon who has only recently moved to the Human World.

Announcement

This is just a bit of a status update on the blog.

Due to real-life circumstances, I’m going to be a lot less active online starting the coming Tuesday, March 22nd. I plan to still update this blog as usual, as I’ve saved up weeks worth of content in my drafts. I still plan to pop onto my blog each weekend to click publish on something from my drafts. However, there is a slight chance I won’t have the internet access to even do that.

So, if this blog goes dead for a month or so, I promise it isn’t because I abandoned this project. No, I am still wholeheartedly invested in making content for this AU and seeing what I can inspire others to create. Know that I will come back as soon as I possibly can, and I have much more planned to come.

@vera-deville oooh thank you for the tag!

Last song: Funny this is mentioned because I’m listening to music rn lol. Jyc Row’s “Nerath, Goddess of Nightmares”. If it seems familiar, it’s because it’s part of the series that inspired me to create the Armageddon AU, Infinite Eclipse!

Last Show: The Mentalist! I’m super into it rn.

Currently Watching/Listening to: Again The Mentalist lol. Also Infinite Eclipse, again.

Current Obsession: in Obey Me hell as always lol 

I’m also writing an original fantasy novel that has been taking up a liiiiiittle too much of my brain space lately.

Ask game!

Tagged by @bdeblueyes sorry I’m getting to this so late, I was focused on work and drawing!

Rules: Tag 9 people you would like to get to know/catch up with

Last Song: Not counting the soundtrack to the movie I’m watching, the last song I listened to on Spotify was “Snow Fairy” (the first opening theme to Fairy Tail). The one before that has been stuck in my head though. It’s this song from ‘given’ that I don’t know the translation for.

Last TV Show: given. And I cried just as much as I did the first time I watched it

Currently watching/listening to: Aladdin. It’s a familiar movie that I can easily fall asleep to, and it’s also sentimental

Currently reading: I also am reading a lot of fics, but I am also reading a lot of webtoons, and Dracula.

Current obsession: Yes. Take your pic from any one of my hyperfixations. In a very broad scope, though, bl anime. The stories are just so good and the boys are so pretty to draw.

Lore V - Power-Sick

<-------(Lore IV)-------«

Along with the undeniable effects of the bolstered magic on the realms as a whole, specific angels and demons were particularly vulnerable to what has been dubbed power-sickness. Power sickness is typically found in the ranks just below Father and the Demon King- so, Diavolo, Barbatos, and Michael. Power sickness occurs because these demons and angels have strong enough powers that amplifying them is dangerous, without being powerful enough that their bodies are able to handle this increase in power.

In angels, this manifests as an extreme fever, as though they’re burning from the light inside them. Their body will begin to glow and radiate a heat that makes others around them uncomfortable, but is only a true danger to themself.

In demons, this manifests as intense cold. All body heat seems to vanish, replaced with an unnerving cold that brings dread to anyone who comes in contact. The surroundings of an afflicted demon will appear darker, as though they are radiating the darkness inside of them.

In both, chronic pain and lethargy are common symptoms.

Lyrics that fit the AU Characters

So, as many of you probably already know, there’s a specific song that inspired this AU, and I figured I’d match some of the lyrics up to characters.

“The dark side of light,

I gave you devotion

My blood and my life.”

-Lucifer

“I trusted your stars

they were once my guide

but now they are falling,

along with the sun.”

-Belphegor

~

“Breaker of day, I gave you

My sword, my heart and my faith.

But now the sky is burning

And I scream and wonder

When did your fire become so cold?”

-Raphael

~

“Cold winds

Will come like a storm

Destroying everything,”

-Diavolo

“Everyone we love.”

-Mephistopheles

~

“What’s worth fighting for,

The reason to win,

Our land, our home, the air we breathe!”

-The Coalition

~

“What lives beneath the sun

Is written in the stars!

Why can’t you understand?!”

-Michael & Lucifer

~

“One by one

We’ll fight

Side by side

We’ll fight!

Together!”

-Simeon
