Chapter 163
Castiel finally braves the Twitter world on the day his secret collab with Taylor Swift is being released, not to look at reactions to that, but to see what his family is up to. Per usual, his feed is mostly tweets from Lucifer being a dork.
"How long do you think I could hide a cat in my room before anyone figures it out?"
"What if unicorns evolved into horses because other animals were always hunting them for their horns? #science."
"For the first time in Novak history, everyone else is out of the house rn and now I'm scared some monster is going to jump out of the closet help."
He retweeted someone asking him for a happy birthday with the words, "Hope your birthday is as fantabulishious as you!"
For once, Lucifer actually has a somewhat serious tweet, and while it's lightheartedly said, it seems rather sad to Castiel, though he may be looking too much into it.
Someone tweeted at him, "If @YourFaveSatan isn't in YouTube Rewind and at Vidcon, I'm rioting." Supportive fans like that are the best. No tearing anybody down; just raising up their favorite celebrity. A-plus for this person.
Lucifer's response was, "Probably not tbh. There's a difference between 'YouTuber' and 'random guy who posts videos on YouTube' and I'm pretty sure I fall into the second category."
He's clearly underestimating himself, because everyone loves Lucifer. He's definitely succeeding in the YouTube world, even more than some other YouTubers that accept the title proudly. Seven million subscribers is pretty amazing. It's ridiculous to claim that he's not one of them, and, of course, Castiel would love to tell him that. Unfortunately, he's still trying not to be a nice person, even though it's annoying and he hates it and can't wait until he can stop.
Fortunately, Samandriel and Claire seem to have his back, because they both tweeted reassurances — a brief "Lol nope, that's a lie," from Claire and a more thoughtful, "You must be on drugs or something because you're definitely a YouTube like the rest of them," from Samandriel.
Castiel can't help but find it strange that Michael didn't weigh in on this. The two of them are — or were, at least — best friends, and Castiel doesn't see that changing. Michael needs to get his ass back to Twitter, stat, and go be a friend.
Moving on through his feed, he finds a post from Gabriel that just says, "Sam's convinced pizza isn't a breakfast food and I've never been more disappointed in someone in my life."
Castiel wants to retweet it because yes, pizza is totally a breakfast food, but knowing his life, even something this little would be controversial for him to weigh in on. At least he can give it a like without people drawing conclusions — hopefully.
Next is a tweet from Lucifer, who retweeted one from the one and only Jacksfilms himself. Jack had tweeted out, "I just found out Castiel Novak has no idea I exist and I've never been prouder."
Lucifer responded to it with, "I'm so conflicted rn."
Castiel taps the original tweet and replies with a simple, "Alexander fuck you then." He's sure most people going through his replies — which apparently happens a lot — are going to be very confused, but the occasional Jacksfilms fan will understand the joke, and that he's not as oblivious to the guy as he sounds. And yes, the entirety of that last chapter was to set up this pun that maybe three people will understand.
Back to his feed, he finds yet another tweet from Lucifer. He always finds it amusing that for every other tweet he sees, there's at least five from his older brother.
"Big Balls by AC/DC is the Anaconda of the 80's."
Well, he's not wrong.
"I feel like I should do something productive for you but I kinda just want to binge watch Sherlock again tbh."
Castiel chuckles to himself. That definitely sounds like something he would do.
"Why do y'all hate on Katy Perry? She has some of the most iconic songs of all time. Firework is legit the best song to dance around the house to and if you don't agree, you're wrong ;)."
Castiel laughs at that. That sounds like something he would make a YouTube video of if he wouldn't get in trouble for using copyrighted music. Castiel would definitely like to see that.
He taps the tweet to look at the replies, because music stan Twitter is harsh, so they're probably tearing him apart for this, and they're almost certainly trashing Katy Perry. Lucifer should know better than to bring up other celebrities like this.
The most liked response is, "How much did she pay you to say that?" from someone with a picture of Camila Cabello as their profile picture. Yep, definitely stan Twitter.
Lucifer replied to that with, "She paid me with a bunch of absolute bops, so swiss swiss bisch." He ended it with an emoji of a little yellow face sticking its tongue out teasingly, probably so people know that he means it lightheartedly and doesn't want to offend anybody.
Of course, that tweet dragged in the Taylor Swift fans who are convinced that this Katy Perry song is a diss to their idol, and Castiel quickly slips past that whole conversation to avoid the drama. The music industry is rough. You can't say anything about an artist without starting a war.
The next most liked response is, "HAHAHAHAHAHA I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!" from someone with a picture of Taylor Swift as their profile picture.
Lucifer responded to that with, "Well, obviously. You can't hear Firework and not smile."
That person quickly backtracks with, "Dgjkvgdjiyesgh you noticed me what no sorry I love you!"
The next response to the original tweet is, "I can't believe Lucifer's a Katy Rat ugh," from someone with an Ed Sheeran profile picture. Apparently the only people who saw this tweet were hardcore fans of other singers.
Lucifer replied with, "One of my friends in high school had a pet rat named Ratscal and he was the cutest thing in the world."
Castiel is fairly sure that's not true at all, but no one else would know he's lying, so crisis averted.
The next most popular tweet is from a Demi Lovato fan who said, "Truer words have never been spoken."
Lucifer replied with, "Yasss, love a woke Demi stan!"
Castiel just stares at that for a minute. Did he actually just say that? This is the very definition of a stan Twitter tweet. It's the exact type of person he hates seeing when scrolling through his mentions. Did Lucifer really just become one of those people?
Deciding he's had enough of this war of the Katy Kats, he goes back to his feed and scrolls through it instead. He finds a conversation with Dean and Lucifer, so he goes back to the beginning, which isn't very far.
It started with some random person posting a picture of Dean's likes, the only visible ones being from Lucifer. The picture is captioned, "I'm pretty sure @Impala67 just highkey stalked @YourFaveSatan's account and honestly same."
Lucifer quoted that tweet and said, "Well, obviously. I've known him for years. I'm like the second brother he's always wanted!"
Dean replied to that with, "More like the creepy cousin I try to avoid at all times."
Lucifer retweeted that as well with the words, "R00d. What'd I ever do to you? (Don't answer that. I'm sure there's a long list.)"
The best part is knowing that there's absolutely no list at all. Lucifer and Dean are actual children together. It's definitely not the side of Dean that the rest of the world knows, so they could assume that Lucifer really does annoy the crap out of him, but knowing them, they probably don't care.
The next tweet on his timeline is from Anna tweeting the link to Bella Talbot's newest new single, simply saying, "This is such a bop."
Castiel rolls his eyes. He's decently sure she only tweeted that because she knows he doesn't like the girl, but it's none of his business. It probably is a bop, honestly.
Next is from Lucifer, who retweeted Taylor Swift's tweet about a new song — which is her collaboration with Castiel, but no one knows that yet — and said, "OMG YASSS THE QUEEN IS BACK!"
As much as Castiel would like to give that tweet a like, he can't, because he's still pretending he isn't happy about this new song. Actually, it will be interesting to see what people say about Lucifer's reaction after Castiel has already voiced his unfavorable opinion on it, so he decides to look at the replies.
The most popular is, "Queen? That's Taylor Swift's tweet, not Camila."
Lucifer replied to that with, "Both kweens," with a crown emoji at the end. For once, the tweet he replied to has more likes than the one he replied with, meaning this is such an unpopular opinion, even his fans can't support him having it.
Another reply is, "Lol Taylor's cancelled."
Lucifer responded to that one with, "Then cancel me too because I want to be in her club. Idc what club it is."
The next response is, "Gotta side with Castiel on this one," from someone with Selena Gomez as their profile picture.
Lucifer replied with a picture of Castiel, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez at some awards show, almost like a peace treaty between the three of them for the sake of the conversation. "Yo same."
One of his favorite replies is, "Okay Taylor's cool and all but ITS BEEN WEEKS TELL CASTIEL TO RELEASE SOMETHING!"
Lucifer just responded with an emoji with zipped up lips, which looks mysterious but it's really just because he doesn't know what's going on with his brother for once.
It takes a while to finally find someone looking forward to this song, which leads Castiel to think that Taylor Swift is probably the last person he wants to be collaborating with. He just has to hope a lot of these people are going by his fake thoughts on it, not their actual opinion of her, because otherwise, this song is going nowhere, and definitely not to number one on any of the charts.
Lucifer's next tweet is in response to someone asking why he never responds to any of the questions Jacksfilms asks for his videos. "I'd feel bad if my stupid answers got in the way of the answers that deserve to be on YIAY (which are also stupid answers but in a good way, ya know?)" And true story, the author's answer is in his video called something like "What makes you you?" so y'all should go check that out because I'm famous, bisch!
The next tweet on his feed is Anna's reaction to Taylor Swift's new song, which is, "Ready to break some more records?" It's a bit of a reach, because her popularity has been dying down a bit, but knowing her fandom, they'd refresh the YouTube page every thirty seconds for a month to up the view counter to break some records, they're that dedicated.
Samandriel tweeted something about politics, with comparisons between two of the candidates, favoring the democratic one over the homophobic asshole of a republican Mike Pence, and below that is a reply from Michael that just says, "You might want to fact check that."
Michael doesn't usually call people out, so that's interesting, but it's no surprise it's on something political. It's so casual, too, which isn't seen in politics very much. It's cool that he wants to spread correct information, but not when it comes to Pence, because as an openly gay man, homophobia in the White House is not high on Castiel's wish list.
And, finally, to conclude his time on Twitter became this chapter is way too long, Lucifer tweeted out the very important question of, "If I sew an ice cream cone to a horse's forehead, is it a unicorn or a unicone?"
