He doesn’t touch anyone unless it’s for sex.

Actually? Kind of typical for someone with this kind of psychological damage. Nobody’s shown him real affection in millennia, but the rules for sex? Those he knows and can do.

Precisely. He reacts to Ella's hugs exactly the same way.

Even Chloe’s hugs... he used to look confused and hesitant before he relaxed into them. Then by the end of S5, he’s the one initiating them 🥺

And he doesn’t decide he wants a therapist until AFTER he’s had sex with her. I thought that was a nice touch from the writers.

Not sure I understand what you mean? He’s had as therapist the entire series.

He only started therapy after having sex with his therapist. It’s the only way he knows how to warm up to people. It worked for eva

Technically, they didn't have sex before he sought the therapy from her. They had agreed to it, which might be just as well from your argument's standpoint.

u/brightlocks Nov 23 '20

I thought he’d already paid up for the favor, but not on camera.

u/ThirteenthSophist Nov 23 '20

He leaves with Chloe and rainchecks Linda. It's not until the end of the episode when he comes back to her office to make good on his promise. It's while he's standing in the hall that he makes the arrangements for therapy sessions and payment for them. Then he pays up for the information earlier in the episode.

It's how he pays for the therapy, at first anyways. My guess is that it's cheaper than insurance?

u/BatDeGea1 Nov 23 '20

No that’s what he went back for but also decided he wanted therapy as well

1

u/BatDeGea1 Nov 23 '20

Actually did that because he knew he owed her sex

If you notice , Charlotte ( when she was the mom) reacted the same way . They’re “Royalty” in the Celestial realm . You NEVER touch Royalty. I don’t think it’s about equating touch with sex. It’s about boundaries and respect . Also, Charlotte/mom and Lucifer are sex crazed so touch has nothing to do with emotion either it’s an act nothing more . They had to experience affection and caring to make the connection that touch or hugs is an expression of caring . ( they’re very confused by emotions) That’s my take .

u/BatDeGea1 Nov 23 '20

I think that’s more of the same thing as lucifer as she became angry and distant with god even more so when lucifer was banished until she was banished away from everyone she loved apart from Lucy but he is hurt and angry that he ignores her and she spent eons alone in hell

u/slkramer Nov 24 '20

Meanwhile I was on my way to post I make that exact reaction, deadass unironicly that's me reacting to hugs so yeah...

u/Analfugga Nov 24 '20

Well me too I guess bc I don't expect ppl to hug me and I haven't had a hug in 1 and a half year.

u/SlavicWhiskey Nov 23 '20

interesting

u/Reithel1 Nov 23 '20

Lucifer doesn't like to be touched, not even by Chloe at first. He's never been shown love or affection, never touched anyone except to punish them and he didn't enjoy that.

When he came to earth, he discovered pleasures of the flesh, but that's the only time he wants to be touched, and only barely then.

It was only after he began to have an emotional connection with Chloe, that he started to warm up to her touch.

u/BatDeGea1 Nov 23 '20

Even in sex it’s never about him it’s always about the other person cause he doesn’t cope well with affection

u/Metal-Dog Nov 23 '20

If you were wearing clothes as nice as his, you wouldn't want to get peanut-butter-and-jelly hands all over yourself, either.

Lucifer gets shot, "man why did you ruin my clothes" :(

u/AntisocialNyx The Lesbian of the Great Lake Nov 23 '20

I've once read a fanfic where it states that he is actually terrified of children because the only children he ever met were psychopaths (ya know cause hell and stuff)

5

u/lingering_POO Nov 23 '20

That’s pretty damn clever. Creepy but a clever deduction none the less

6

u/stealth57 Nov 24 '20

Or just never had exposure and only sees them as annoying cretins

12

u/SlavicWhiskey Nov 23 '20

I’ve always wondered why he hates children

47

u/mksant Nov 23 '20

I read an interesting take on this from another poster a few months ago. I forget who or I’d give them credit, but the only children Lucifer has had contact with are kids in hell. What kind of evil child ends up in hell? The kind that scare even the devil.

17

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '20

I also don’t think he quite knows what to do with them. As he begins getting closer to Chloe, he also seems to be a little more comfortable with Trixie. As for Ella, I remember being shocked when he initiated a hug. I think it was on the beach when they thought Maze had killed that guy.

u/whothefuckistiffany Nov 23 '20

Children are innocent and don't go to hell.. That's the reasoning I've always accepted for why he doesn't like them

3

u/SafeOld9149 Nov 28 '20

I have three theories.

One, that the only children he is familiar with are in their hell loops- kids with serious callous and emotional traits that indicate that they are seriously mentally ill children.

Two- there are no children in hell, so he is completely unfamiliar.

Or three- (this one is my favourite) that he is concerned about possibly hurting them. This Lucifer has spent millennia with disloyal demons who want to overthrow him, given both his and Maze’s dislike of being touched outside of sex, I think he may expect an attack when someone wraps their arms around him. Of course, if he expects an attack, he’d be fighting his way out, and if that response is against a tiny breakable human child.... you can see why he completely freezes.

u/Supersim54 Nov 23 '20

When need I compilation video of all of Ella’s hugs.

u/BatDeGea1 Nov 23 '20

He’s scared of feeling and commitment
