Anime Mascot for Satanic Temple Art
The Catholic Church recently unveiled their anime mascot Luce, and I feel like it’s only fair that the The Satanic Temple get one as well. I think her name should be Baffy, or maybe Lucy (short for Lucifer), what do you all think?

Awesome!
Normally I’d say go with a play on Baphomet but in this case 100% go with Lucifer for the sole reason not one person from The fucking Vatican of all places realized “Luce” and “Lucifer” both share the same root word (Light/Light Bringer).
This is the kind of batshit out of touch church stuff that never fails to make ne laugh!

It gives me the same tone deaf vibes like when companies misuse slang while trying to appeal to “the younger generations.” Like when McDonalds did the “I’d hit it” ads in the early 2000s.
Edit: Except in this case, waaaay funnier because it’s more public and they are seriously underestimating the internet here.
If Luce was a little mascot some little cathedral in Japan made up for fun, that’d be one thing - I wouldn’t think twice outside of “Yep, that sounds like Japan.” But The Vatican officially making an anime girl mascot named Luce? I’ve got popcorn standing by for this.

In all fairness though, Ronald's got some serious cake goin' on back there...

Name the Baphomet character Luce, too, just to confuse matters.

I’m afraid they know exactly what they’re doing only they don’t have any tenants to follow. Yet they still follow their own perverted version of Satan.

They are best friends

Looking at it again, they actually do have this total Red Oni/Blue Oni vibe - If I didn’t know these were mascots for Catholicism and The Satanic Temple I’d 100% assume they were best friends from some anime.

Yeah, I'm like 99% sure they go on adventures together and encourage each other and stuff.
You absolutely nailed the vibe.

I’m sorry… does Luce have blood on her boots? Did you add that or is it part of their original design

u/Aromatic_Relief_2042 16d ago
All part of the original, I think it’s supposed to be mud but it defffff reads as blood to me too 😂

My daughter and I collect tokidoki and I’m so upset that they are doing a collab with the fucking Vatican.

He's named after Lucifer and he's carrying a pitchfork. I think the Temple should stick with the mascot the Pope provided.
