who's your favorite sibling (if you REALLY had to choose)
for research purposes šŸ„°
Hmmm.. wellā€¦ Henriette was funā€”sweet, kind.
Charlotte? Ah, Charlotte isā€¦ complicated. Sheā€™s smart, capable, overbeā€”protective, but we couldā€™ve had a better relationship, you know? With all the things sheā€™s doneā€”well, letā€™s not digress (yet). She means well, but we couldā€™ve had a slightly better relationship.
But Maximilien. Oh, Maximilien. My brilliant, unwavering, virtuous, magnificent older brother. A man of principle, of intellect, of unmatched integrity. the most unfaltering, dedicated, principled man to ever grace this wretched Earth. There is no one like him. I admire him, I revere him. I would follow him to the ends of the earth without question, without hesitation. His mind is unparalleled, his heartā€”despite what his detractors sayā€”so immensely full of love for the Republic, for virtue, for justice. I trust him more than I trust myself, and if the world were a better place, everyone else would see what I see. Because anyone who says otherwise simply does not understand the magnitude of his greatness.
ā€¦But of course, I donā€™t have a favorite sibling. That would be absurd. Completely unreasonable. Unthinkable. Obviously.

The devil is on earth and it never made the news?
Hell on Earth; the Devil in Gotham?
While it is not uncommon for supernatural entities to appear in and around Gotham some citizens may be shocked to find that this does not solely involve standard supernatural entities such as Ghosts, Witches, Vampires, and the like (see related articles).
The occurrence of supernatural entities forming on earth has also applied to well known theological beings (see related articles), the Devilā€™s appearance simply being one of these many instances.
The Devil, or Lucifer Morningstar ( @morningstarscratch ) (see related articles) as he likes to be called, has been living in the United States for well over a decade and has taken up residence in LA on-and-off for around 15 years now.
Mr. Morningstar is the owner of famed LA nightclub, Lux (see related articles), and is considered by many to be a local celebrity. There have been no incidences on record of him causing any sort of public disturbance and, as far as we can tell, seems to be about as troublesome to the general populace of LA as your local librarian or barista.
We sent one of our interns to interview a few of Mr. Morningstarā€™s partners ( @crimsonknightly @johncon @kyle-the-artistic-one @wheelbarrowofstagefourcancer ) to hear their impressions of Mr. Morningstar, as well as several LA citizens who wished to remain anonymous.
Out of Mr. Morningstarā€™s partners who were contacted, only Ms. Knightly and Mr. Constantine were able to speak with us, here is what they had to say.
When asked about their relationship, Mr. Constantine (see related articles) stated that, while both he and Mr. Morningstar are quite busy people, Mr. Morningstar always makes time to see him. He oftentimes comes to watch Mr. Constantineā€™s band, Mucous Membrane (see related articles), perform.
He stated, fondly, that Mr. Constantine is a flirt, and that the man is rather fond of Martinis, sometimes simply holding one while going about his day.
When asked about his opinion on Mr. Morningstarā€™s moral character he responded that he didnā€™t feel qualified to answer as he believes morality to be subjective, but overall does not consider Mr. Constantine to be inherently good or evil.
As for Ms. Knightlyā€™s (see related articles) interview, she states that Mr. Morningstar is very sweet, though a bit protective. He checks in with her and the others quite often, sometimes daily.
When asked about his moral character she stated that he was most certainly a good person, stating that he had saved her. We were unable to find out what exactly was meant by that as she then had to rush off before our intern could get the rest of her statement.
All this to say that while yes, the Devil is living on earth, there is no reason for anyone to be alarmed. Mr. Morningstar seems to be a perfectly fine man, and if one insists on being weary of supernatural beings such as he, then this journal would like to stress that there are certainly many more pressing issues to focus on at the moment (see related articles).

Hilbert day!
Here to request some of this manā€™s backstory. It feels like we get only the small snippets he wants to tell us about but there are so many years where we donā€™t have a clue what Hilbert was up to. (Maybe intentional??)
So my question is can we have some more about his past specifically while he was a limious but before the incident?
hi pae pae!
this is an interesting one. i'm going to jump straight into it because i don't want to waste time. without further ado...
day five of tcw's 12 days of askmas--the mystery behind hilbert's past [tov and sai spoilers]:
alrighty, so i wanna highlight something you said in your ask, because it's a core part of my answer:
Maybe intentional??
100% intentional.
i've said this before on my blog, but everything about hilbert is shrouded in mystery because nothing about him is genuine. you are never given the "true, objective, unbiased" truth about hilbert, simply because it does not exist. there is no "lore" about hilbert that isn't, to some capacity, tainted by his own skewed interpretation or in how he deceives people and messed with their interpretation. at the end of the day, no one knows who hilbert limious is, because he himself finds power in being unknown.
i'll indulge you slighty, but only slightly, because in giving you lore, i remove the entire purpose of hilbert's character. there aren't a lot of hard, objective facts about the guy, but i will say a couple of things before i do grant you a couple: sai goes into hilbert's past QUITE A BIT. sai, and chapter 19 of tov. chapter 19 of tov is a HUGEEEE character for the plot and all the characters, because it is the chapter where not only hilbert's past is uncovered, but alan's spiral begins.
sai builds on that by having full segments of the narrative (3 chapters, i believe? 2-3 chapters) where alan 'goes back in time' and witnesses hilbert's past through the perspective of markum and jervee iyzela. it's some of my favouriie chapters, i'm not going to lie.
anyways... some hilbert facts for you:
his limious mentor was a man named coze limious, who was known for taking a regular man and making a limious out of him
he is from the elemental family, specifically an earth-elemental
by the time he "debuted in society" as a limious, markum was already high within von doro's leagues
he once "loved" (allegedly, accoridng to him) a woman named eden, who gifted him an iron-rose dagger with their initials carved on the hilt
hilbert's rivalry with markum predates the incident by decades for unknown reasons to anyone except for the two of them (and von doro).
when asked about where eden is now, hilbert responded with, "markum ja reminded me the cost of being a limious" and ended the discussion
when hilbert first debuted as a limious, he had debuted with 16 others. by the end of his career, he was the only one left
hilbert had gained such notoriety, fame, and support from the masses of soilaila, that when von doro tried to revoke his limious title, riots broke out until he was reinstated
the dragon hunts were hilbert's most famous 'accomplishment' and were what helped him receive his cult fanbase
the most famous dragon hilbert had ever killed was the purple dragon that seared the skies, larger than the entire lenoq ring. he had created a mysterious spear of his specialty magic and aimed it directly into the dragon's magic bladder midflight, causing everyone to cheer as the dragon fell to its demise.
note, the last post is a now deleted scene, but it showcased hilbert, at the end of the hunt, capturing the dragons body, climbing atop its body, and riding its back like a chariot as his party of dragon hunters dragged it back to the bazaar, where a live-descaling and declawing event occurred. he would wear the scales of his previous conquests as armour to the next.
anyways. that's all i'm willing to indulge.
thanks for the ask, pae pae! i promise you, you'll like my secrecy better when you read the lore from the actual book itself. i don't want to ruin it.

my driver hotness rankings
besties and behateds of the jury, this is maybe the most unhinged thing i will ever post but it is my sistine chapel it is my mona lisa. this is to me what citizen kane was to orson welles. i will prove to you today that my driver hotness rankings are objectively correct. i have assembled the evidence i have constructed my argument. (love you ell this one's for you.)
20
nyck (iā€™m so sorry). look someone has to go last. i am not prejudiced against short kings but it must be acknowledged that in combination with the face he is giving gnome. also i have seen the shirtless pics, and he is more ripped than george for christā€™s sake there are so many ridges on his torso. he looks, to steal a phrase from patton oswald, ā€œpainful to fuck.ā€ and i donā€™t have a vibe check on him yet so there is nothing else to compel me (benoit blanc voice) also i am not yet convinced heā€™s fast, which would increase his standing, because, say it with me, being good at things is hot. check back in after a few races. the thing where they tied him to a wheel rack was funny but not enough.
19
pierre. heā€™s fooled so many people into thinking heā€™s attractive with his beard contour and his donald trump ass haircut covering a truly atrocious hairline but there is no force on earth that can cover being a crypto bro. i have known so many and they are, without exception, the worst and more irritating people on the planet. if you own an nft you are not hot. if you TALK about it you are less hot. he has abs or whatever but i honestly think he is too ripped, similar to nyck. and i havenā€™t even mentioned the fact heā€™s a pedophile! his narrative used to be compelling to me because he got kicked out of red bull and i love redemption but he is a mid driver and a bitch and christian was right to fire him.
18
lando. this one may be controversial but iā€™m right and i can prove it: he looks like heā€™s twelve years old. who am i, pierre? i think the fuck not. admittedly he has nice eyes but he has a very oddly-shaped head. i could snap him like a twig, which looking at my dating history is not necessarily a deal breaker, but it is if heā€™d whine like a little bitch the whole time. he has never known the touch of a woman and he never will. the vibes are also atrocious: heā€™s a spoiled brat, and his interests are twitch and golf?????? he might not say racial slurs but he definitely crosses the street if he sees a black man. says he feels ā€œuncomfortableā€ being around gay men with his shit off. bitch. i must clarify that i don't actually hate him but he has committed the worst crime to me: being a little irritating.
17
checo. people say he looks like tom cruise with a double chin but i just watched top gun and no he fucking does not. he looks more grizzled than fernando but in a haggard way not in a rugged cowboy way and heā€™s got a dad bod but not in a hot way. and the vibes are fucking off, absolutely swagless. fucking come on heā€™s had two seasons of getting his ass HANDED to him by max every week. i know itā€™s hard to be maxā€™s teammate or whatever but i am pointing to him and saying MID. i donā€™t know anything about him personally except heā€™s got rich sponsors, he probably cheated on his wife, and heā€™s a homophobe. however he will move up if he goes full rosberg in 2023 and ruins christianā€™s life i do not pretend to be unbiased. the thesis of this one is that it is not hot to be boring. but if he becomes interesting i will change my mind.
16
oscar. see lando. he looks like a child! i do not believe he is 21 they are LYING because he's actually 14 and it should be illegal to let him drive. i do not believe he remembers obamaā€™s first election. heā€™s up higher because i believe he is considerably more attractive than lando he has a sweet honest face i would kiss his little cheeks. but is he hot? ask again in five years. the narrative is also compelling to me because he did said ā€œfuck the frenchā€ and that is hot that is HOT, but again, as of yet no vibe check. i see something in his eyes that indicates to me he may win the twink war but until first blood is spilled that is only hypothetical. sorry oscar nothing against you honey.
15
kmag. ok look. maybe i just donā€™t remember what kmag actually looks like but the picture on the f1 website is not flattering he looks like the stock photo wincing old man. i donā€™t think heā€™s unattractive really but i cannot put him above the rest of this list i fear! when he got pole that was really hot but what else is he giving? talking about balls? that wasnā€™t hot when dan did it and itā€™s not hot for kmag either. the vibe check should have enough data to produce something but it is coming up empty!!! i just do not know iā€™m sorry kevin. you do not have the x factor. you are not irritating, but to me, you are boring.
14
estie! you know he was below kmag but today i saw that gifset of him with long hairā€¦. i could fix him (get him a hair stylist) heā€™s uncomfortably lanky. rat man may be affectionate, but rat man nevertheless. also i played myself by comparing himself to the flushed away rat because now i cannot see him without thinking about that. heā€™s got a really hot girlfriend which means heā€™s probably a feminist (will go down on a woman) and i know he doesnā€™t come from money. both of these things compel me tis true! but they are not enough to overcome the tragic truth that he looks like a cartoon character
13
hulkenberg. look ell i know i said he was conventionally attractive and i stand by that. he IS. but he also looks like a fucking ken doll. he has the GR wax doll disease. he went into the uncanny valley and he fucking founded a city-state there heā€™s building fucking governance structures and supporting a small private army to defend trade routes. his skin is so likeā€¦.. tight. uncomfortable. and he is not redeemed by the vibe check. a million fucking races and no podium? and he wasn't only in shit cars! he was supposed to be a world champion coming up through the feeder series and he fell short of his potential. falling short of your potential is narratively compelling, but not in a hot way.Ā i am pressing the big buzzer that says MID. boring.
12
lance. literally forgot about him until i got to number seven and then i was likeā€¦.. wait a minute wait a fucking minute. he and nando are mirror opposites lance is here purely by virtue of his conventionally attractive little face. i can hear the ghosts of my jewish ancestors telling me to settle down with the nice billionaire jewish boy. but you know what? his voice is fucking irritating as shit and he has the least interesting variety of daddy issues. heā€™s got no fucking personality and heā€™s a nepo baby and heā€™s a mid ass driver and lawrence will not convince me otherwise by holding a gun to nandoā€™s head and making him say shit about how good his stupid little failson is.Ā 
11
NANDOOOOOOO ok i know this one is controversial but i donā€™t give a shit itā€™s my list. i know heā€™s fucking eighty do you think i care? no. i couldnā€™t give less of a shit what he looks like. all that matters to me is that he wakes up every single day and chooses to be a mischievous little bastard who fomentsā€¦.. something. el plan etc etc. yes he fucking blackmailed mclaren yes he has committed war crimes yes he is a misogynist. what is this twitter? i do not have to be morally correct here. and lest we forget he is in fact a fantastic fucking driver (hot). let the slow dismantling of the stroll dynasty begin. and he has the most important variable in my calculations: he is interesting.
10
guanyu. my problem here is vibe check coming up empty. heā€™s reasonably good looking, heā€™s nice, he seems to be in love with val (good taste! see the coffee video) heā€™s the second most stylish man in the paddock mostly by virtue of the competition being fucking pathetic. heā€™s a little short but i am not prejudiced against short kings! but personality wise i fear there is not much there although probably this is on me for being a dumb american and not speaking chinese. also heā€™s like. ungodly rich. like richer than stroll. and the CCP of it all is not beautiful. perhaps most damningly: is he a good driver? i do not know! give him another year, but the jury remains undecided. he is right in the middle but i reserve the right to move him up pending developments
9
logan. you donā€™t know how much it pains me to put this motherfucker in the top ten. he looks like he was recruited into the us military directly out of high school because he was failing english and knew he couldnā€™t get into college, but unfortunately he is also objectively very handsome. heā€™s not higher for obvious reasons (florida. donald trump.) but i cannot put him lower purely off the virtue of his captain america fucking face. fuck him i hope alex makes him cry real tears on track by lapping him in every single race. but he is hot. maybe he'll prove me wrong and he can stay here! but if he brings fucking..... jd vance or whatever as a guest to a gp it's straight to 20 i shit you not.
8
alex. out of all the men on this list alex is probably the one i would most like to date. heā€™s nice, heā€™s reasonably charming, heā€™s a feminist, heā€™s got the angst of losing that red bull seat without the pierre of it all, heā€™s got the compelling homoerotic friendship with george but you know what this is not sashā€™s list of dateable men it is driver hotness and we must acknowledge the fact that he is not particularly good looking! like estie he has a fucking banana nuts hot girlfriend, but facially he is not always giving. heā€™s cute; heā€™s not necessarily hot. heā€™s this high only because i kept bumping him up because i was like ā€œwell i canā€™t put him below fucking LOGANā€. also, while i believe heā€™s a good driver, is he REALLY good, or just good? beating the shit out of latifi does not convince me of anything! like mick beating the shit out of mazepin itā€™s pretty much guaranteed to happen.
7
max. ok ell hear me out. right now he is not looking too hot but it's because of the bad haircut and heā€™s not racing. being good at things, say it with me, is hot and the only thing, the ONLY THING in maxā€™s life is being good at racing. heā€™s fucking fast. also, he seems like heā€™s actually kind of a fun guy. when he laughs at his own jokes that is very cute i think. the little eye crinkles. the cheeks. when heā€™s got his hair grown out a little and a five oā€™clock shadow goingā€¦ he can fool me into thinking heā€™s actually good looking and doesn't a little bit resemble sid the sloth from the ice age movies (sorry. but it's true) and the version of him i have made up in my head and convinced myself is real is extremely fucking compelling!!!! admittedly the kelly dynamic almost knocked him down but it takes two people to make a dynamic and i guarantee you i would not be giving any maternal energy at all. i think i could fix him (introduce him to pegging)
6
yuki. thatā€™s right fuck you. heā€™s funny as fuck and we could do karaoke together. i would carry him around in my tote bag and he could eat off the childrenā€™s menu at restaurants (cost of living is high you save where you can.) heā€™s giving face and heā€™s giving body heā€™s actually so fucking handsome and the reason people are sleeping on how beautiful he is is because of the particularities of anti-asian racism, where ā€œwesternā€ people read traditionally east-asian features as unmasculine, and therefore they are either fetishized or dismissed as romantic/sexual partners entirely. well iā€™m anti-racism bitch! yuki is HOT! also i know heā€™s not that good at driving or whatever but do you know whatā€™s even hotter than being good at things? not giving a SHIT!!!! yuki is the spiritual successor to kimi raikonnen on this grid iā€™m fucking right and iā€™m the only one brave enough to say it. f1 is a hobby for him and he treats the sport exactly as it should be treated (with disdain, like itā€™s a mild inconvenience or errand on par with vacuuming) maybe this is inconsistent with my "being good at things is hot theory" but you know what? fuck you. it's my list i do what i want. if i contradict myself than i contradict myself
5
george. yeahā€¦ā€¦ iā€™m quite frankly a little shocked and upset heā€™s this high. i know i made this list myself but iā€™m not keeping track very well in all honesty and iā€™m about four drinks in. but you know what? iā€™m not blaming alcohol. this is accurate for my hotness rankings. iā€™m a bit of a george girl at the moment. every new fact i learn about him makes him more compelling to me. he's the george bit of alex's homoerotic relationship with george! really i only need one story about him to compel me: getting himself into the merc driver program with the power of microsoft powerpoint. heā€™s the most ā€œheā€™s just like me frā€ driver on the grid for me and iā€™m a big enough woman to admit that. the version of him iā€™ve made up inside my head has a personality and you know what? unfortunately for the haters he has proved them all wrong and heā€™s an excellent fucking driver. i donā€™t think heā€™s better than lewis but he stood up to the pressure of that second merc seat fucking fantastically even with his biological father there judging his performance the whole time! and i know he looks a little bit like a robot but it must be admitted! he is attractive! heā€™s got a great body! idk iā€™m gaslighting myself i guess itā€™s my deep-seated american desire to infiltrate the upper classes of england and bring it all down from the inside. but iā€™m keeping him in spot number five. and fuck anyone who disagrees.
4
valtteri. i mean. other than yuki the closest to kimi we can get on the current grid. lost his merc seat and immediately said ā€œmy ass will be fully out for the rest of my life and there is nothing you can do about itā€ can you imagine the amount of time toto wasted just saying ā€œno valtteri you cannot post hole on instagramā€. heā€™s a feminist heā€™s an icon! heā€™s not an outstanding driver but heā€™s solid! by number of wins currently fourth best cunt on the grid i believe! the mustache! he has alex albon energy in that i would actually date him but i think heā€™s more attractive. he is the only blond-haired blue-eyed man on the list who does not even a little bit activate the ā€œnazi detectorā€ in my brain which is admittedly a little overactive in the current political climate. i donā€™t know love isnā€™t rational. but i love him. i love him, your honor. and you will not convince me otherwise with facts (he's not really objectively all that physically attractive)
3
carlos. look the ferrari boys were pretty close together and ell i know you disagree with me here but ultimately it comes down to one thing i will discuss in the charles ranking and a couple things i will discuss here. yes heā€™s hot. fucking obviously. itā€™s barely worth pointing it out heā€™s outrageously attractive. but as i have said many times hotness is about more than the physical! and the vibe check is mixed. he does have the most compelling flavor of daddy issues (father is loving and supportive but still an unattainable ideal. the closest thing to god on earth for carlos sainz jr is carlos sainz sr and what a terrible legacy that is to bear) but on the other hand golf! and he has a weird and not very sexy voice! and heā€™s probably violently catholic! and thereā€™s stories about him being kind of a dick to fans! i did not verify either of those things but fuck you this isn't journalism. and, most damningly, i believe that when it comes to driving he isā€¦ā€¦ FUCKING MID. there i said it. he got lucky his first year with and heā€™s still in denial about being the second driver to charles leclerc. have you seen the fucking instagram? girl fred vasseur may say he'll let it be decided on track but charles is coming to family dinners in the vasseur household. delusion is not hot unless itā€™s in a funny way (see: fernando, el plan). and i swear to christ if he messes up even a single race for charles this season because he thinks heā€™s better i will knock him down to the bottom of his list without remorse.
2
charles. itā€™s my list fuck you. other than george, charles (the version of him i have made up inside my head) is the most like me on the grid. he isā€” pause for dramatic effectā€” fucking COMPELLING. (benoit blanc voice) you know i love a narrative and heā€™s got a fucking narrative. he plays the piano (hot) heā€™s got the sexiness of the french language without the lameness of being french (yes i believe monaco is a historical mistake and a geopolitical aberration and should be incorporated into france and all those cunts should pay taxes but objectively monaco is very sexy!!! walt whitman i contain multitudes) and heā€™s got the catholic guilt of driving for ferrari without the lameness of actual catholicism (looking at you carlos) is he the most interesting bitch in the world? no. but he can hold a conversation, he has more interests than just racing and video games, and heā€™s much funnier in french, and as these boring ass guys go heā€™s pretty funny even in english. also, again, takes two to make a dynamic and i am funny enough for any two people on the planet. also, and this must be said, heā€™s a fucking excellent driver. BEING GOOD AT THINGS IS HOT! AND we have not even mentioned the fact that physically speaking he is what we call a Specimen. heā€™s got body, heā€™s got face. i know you donā€™t think he does ell but with respect you are wrong. heā€™s got the cheekbones heā€™s got the nose heā€™s got the fucking ridiculous shoulder to hip ratio, heā€™s got the hand porn. he has literal protagonist eye syndrome (they appear to be different colors depending on the lighting) heā€™s fucking insanely hot.
1
Lewis. I mean itā€™s just quite literally the only correct answer. heā€™s giving face, heā€™s giving body. the tattoos! dan thinks he has cool tattoos but he has pete davidson disease lewis actually has really cool tattoos. but his hotness is literally the least compelling thing about him. heā€™s multi-talented (music??? so hot) heā€™s not just a racer, but like, letā€™s not discount the fact he is the best f1 driver of all time. like iā€™ve established itā€™s hot when people are good at things (except golf). heā€™s not a businessman heā€™s a business, man. heā€™s got mad fucking drip. his politics are.............. of mixed quality really but by comparison he's practically bernie sanders. of all the drivers heā€™s the one i think i could make a socialist if i had a twenty minute conversation with him. i could get him to read marx i could get him to read zizek. not even to mention the compelling fucking narrative of his life. the karting years the brocedes of it all the mclaren civil war he is producing CONTENT. yes he speaks like a motivational poster and the dog account is cringe but the flaws make him human. if he were too perfect he would be less hot.Ā 
this is the judgement of the court

If the child, writes Plotinus, does not show any talent and seems unfit for a more serious career, the parents say that it would be best to give it to a trade. They do it today the same as they did a thousand and seven hundred years ago. The difference is that they were then aware of the mediocrity of the person who practised the trades. Today, however, the untalented, not so much with their numerical predominance, but rather with and due to the nature of modern civilization, considers itself the sustaining element of humanity. At this moment, there is no mention of Bernard Shaw's comment, who, with his usual inventiveness and his usual frivolity, considers the chauffeur-type to be the man of the future. At this moment, due to the power of technology, he who is usually called technical dictates. Which is just another name for a craftsman. Technology is not and never will belong amongst the representatives of the human spirit. But the overcrowded schools today are the technical colleges and universities, because a person without skills can easily get a well-paying job following what he learned here. This person dictates the standard of thinking and lifestyle and taste and morale and mood. To achieve the lifegoods are the easiest to him. This man has a so-called success.
We are not talking about technology. What we are talking about is the technician. A. Perronā“ā“ says that the technique is puerile, typically a product of the imagination of the adolescent child. Everybody has a more or less developed technical age, but by the age of eighteen, in the normal man, it passes away. The technical imagination, once it reaches intellectual maturity, is only stays in the hands of the man without higher qualities. It is a pity, says A. Perron, to speak of the realisation of particularly great values in connection with technology. Behind all technical civilization is the Jules Verne idea of wanting to furnishes the world like Captain Nemo furnishes the Nautilus. If the hundred-seater turbine-jet aeroplane is to be valorised in spiritual terms, it must be we have to admit that it's value is not more than a carousel's. Rather it is less.
The literature of technocracy is large, but unusable, says E. B. Wallaceā“āµ. The opinion of every author is decided by some sympathy or aversion, as if it were impossible to take a disinterested position on this issue. Technology has become the focus of tensions in worldviews. Spiritualists reject it principally and unconditionally just as materialists praise it. European thinking does not have, and has never had, the unbiased measure that can determine the significance of technology without preoccupation. With a few exceptions, our thinkers have merely framed the passions of history well and badly, but there has been no one who could see the whole thing from above. European thought is the 'gifted personality', but do not stands in the sign of an absolute spirit. It takes more than being an interesting person to the truth.
Mircea Eliade claims that the earth's chthonic rhythm is pretty slow, and the goal of technology is to speed up this rhythm. Human takes over the role of time. What the earth's physical-geological-chemical life creates over thousands of years, man can do even in a matter of minutes with his technology. Man melts metal, cleans it of elements that do not belong there, or mixes it appropriately with other elements, shapes it and makes tools. It shortens natural processes, and what it achieves is always the more in shorter time.
Here is one of the interesting theories of European man, which is as much witty as it much is frivolous. The author do not really tell us the most important thing. What is the purpose of this shortening? Why do people take over the role of time and speed up processes?
Tumblr media
Man's behavior towards nature can be of three types. The first is metaphysical, which wants to lift up every speck of dust in nature and wants to ennoble it. This primordial behavior for us, after it has completely disappeared even from historical religions, has preserved by the tradition of alchemy. Alchemy wants to turn the world into gold, that is, it wants to raise it with every atom to the world of the incorruptible and imperishable spirit.
Tumblr media
The second behavior is man's paternal care for nature. Archaic cultures arose from this care. Where farming and animal husbandry are still intact, this spirit lives on.

The third behavior became common with the passing of the archaic era, and it is the robbery of nature. If one take a look today to the mines, the scorched primeval forests, the plundered seas, the slaughtered animals and primitive peoples, and the billions of civilized bondman slaves, one can have no doubt as to what is happening here. For a short time in the last century, it seemed that socialism would create a perfect change in the way of life, and everyone believed that it would end this exploitation. The opposite happened. Socialism is a European theory just like the others, it is not a solution to a crisis, it is only a product of crisis, that is, it cannot grasp things from above, it only articulates the difficulties with great difficulty. Instead of creating a radical solution, it only intensified the robbery and rather justified his crimes with a stupid ideology.
Some consider the life-destroying nature of technology to be a forced consequence of overpopulation. This frenzied robbery economy would make no sense anyway. The authorā“ā¶ delights in the usual horror statistics that we all know: how many people were on earth in 1800, how many in 1900, how many we will be in 2000. He secretly hopes that nuclear war or an epidemic will thin our ranks. If this did not happen, the situation would be hopeless. In a few hundred years, there will be four people per square meter on earth, which means that we will have just as much space to stop as on a crowded tram. These people, says G. B. Balling, will have a socialist ideology of a high order compared to today's simple barbarism. They just won't have anything to eat. The predatory nature of the technique is beyond doubt. However, this robbery is a compulsion that must be continued because there are many of us. If we had a normal economy, more than half of humanity would starve. Invention, says the author, is a function of population density. The anxiety caused by the ever-increasing population forces people to create more and more opportunities for robbery, and to exploit those opportunities with ever faster and more efficient methods. If the population of the earth were to decrease to the level of 1800, technology would cease to be eighty percent, if only because there would not be enough of us to maintain the industrial estates employing a large number of people and the densely stratified occupations. Cybernetics would disappear like nylon and canned pineapples.

Of course, things can be even reversed. It is not at all certain that the regularization of robbery was caused by overpopulation. It could easily be that the exploitation that has become general, that is, the conscious breeding of slaves ā€” just to have as many workers as possible and the labor as cheap as possible ā€” caused such a horrible increase in the population. It seems that they want to explain the organized robbery economy with the necessity of population density, which is nothing more than a lame excuse. One cannot be careful enough with a theory that ascribes some crisis in life to external causes and wants to absolve the person from mandatory responsibility. The first reason is always the individual. The responsibility must be assumed not only out of fairness, but also because it makes sense, so there is a possibility for the person to change the situation he has recalled with his own will.
There is also an authorā“ā· who attempts to bring technology and the office to a common denominator. The two really have something in common in life-destroying mechanization. One could also say that bureaucracy and technocracy are both by-products of modern utopianism. The author considers the office to be older, but technology to be more harmful. Today, in their demoralizing effect, they work together in wonderful harmony, as if both have the goal of exterminating life. G. W. Ballington is otherwise a more thoughtful type of journalist, who noticed the life-destroying effects of the two modern phenomena, but who did not notice the functional difference between office and technology. The office is always a question of humanity, the tension between the organism and the organization. Technique is the question of the living and the inanimate, the tension between the organism and the mechanism. The aim of the office is to corrupt the joy. The technique is a suicide attempt.
The natural consequence of man's activity to acquire more in a shorter time is twofold: one is that life speeds up, and the other is that it becomes more and more empty. E. B. Wallace calls this phenomenon loss of life-essenceā“āø. Always more in less time. In ever shorter time, as far as possible. Run or swim a hundred meters in as little time as possible. Throw the javelin as far as possible. Jump as far and as high as possible. Lift as much weight as possible. This is the modern hero. How many bricks does the Stakhanovist lay in one hour? The speed of automobiles is two hundred kilometers per hour, so are trains, and airplanes travel at the speed of sound. One person manages thirty machines, the other forty. It is necessary to accelerate the development of plants with radiation. You have to produce more in a smaller area. More people need to be accommodated in fewer places. Bunk beds, two-level bunk beds. To make use of space, time, material, strength and energy. This grandiose idiocy is called rationalism. Rationalism is the metaphysics of robbing life. The faster someone runs a hundred meters, the less sense it all makes. There is a performance that is absolutely absurd. Rationalism is a great example of how could be something is reasonable and completely nonsensical as well at once.
Let's plant as many sugar beets as possible in as small an area as possible. This is what is reasonable. Take advantage of it. As fast as possible. No one has ever asked the question, what happens to the time you save when you do something faster? The word production is used misleadingly for this phenomenon. It's more clear as the day that it's a robbery. Sow twice a year. Growing five kilo potatoes. To introduce growing of oranges and bananas in the Arctic Circle. Shortening the production processes. The shortest way under the fastest time. This is what Mircea Eliade calls the acceleration of the rhythm of nature, when man takes over the role of time and dictates a faster pace. He wants to swim the hundred meters faster, but he doesn't know what to do with the time he saved. M. Eliade is certainly not a musical person and does not know the difference between rhythm and beat. Nature, life, thinking, and art have a rhythm, a pulse given together with life. And the mechanics are cadenced. The machine is automatic. Rhythm and beat can never be confused. If you use beat instead of rhythm, the result is loss of life-essence. The dance is rhythmic, the military step is cadenced. The heartbeat is rhythmic, the metronome is cadenced, even if numeric values of these two is the same. Rationalist thinking is an abbreviated and accelerated thinking from which the essentials of life have disappeared. Rationalism is the mindless pace that stands in one place, which has no meaning that can be called by any name. It is the modern chase and the record and the performance, the speed, the lust for life, and hurrying, and the foaming and the lagging and the dizziness and the absence of essences, when the individual is nothing more but only existence in Nothingness.
In every civilization, says Perronā“ā¹, there is a degree which may be called the minimum of spirituality, and there is every indication that this minimum is the same in all civilizations. A productive life is only possible on top of this. When a person reaches the freezing point, his life is not controlled by spiritual forces, but by pseudo-spiritual compulsions, which we know from the psychology of the weak-minded, the immature, the primitive, and the psychopaths, and which the common parlance calls obsessions. Obsession is a mere psychological phenomenon without spiritual content. A. Perron claims that if a person descends to the spiritual minimum because he loses control over himself, he can become a free prey to all abnormalities. The abnormality is precisely that a person is governed by an obsession instead of a rational spirit. In general, a person without talent can be recognized by the fact that their life contents are pseudo-spiritual. Lack of talent is actually a kind of intellectual minimum. The life of society depends on the wealth of talents within it. The dissolvance of society begins with the disappearance of talents.
Rationalism is actually an obsession that arose from the spiritual minimum of European civilization at the beginning of the modern age. Technology, un rĆŖve dĆ©faillant, a fainting dream, was born of this pseudo-spiritual compulsion. What does this dream dreams? Jules Verne novels. Airships and airplanes and wireless telegraph and radio and television, rocketry and sustainable flight, travel on the stream of fire to the center of the earth, electromagnetism extracted from the air, and solar energy stored in boxes. Captain Nemo sits in his Nautilus, twelve thousand meters under the sea, alone. The submarine has its own power plant, shining light everywhere. He has his own way. Its own oxygen generator. He presses one of the buttons and the invisible organ plays Bach's Mass in B minor. He presses the other button and the television plays Hamlet. In the meantime, he gets hungry, presses the third button, and the table rolls in, with an eight-course lunch and port wine. He presses the fourth button and see the Moon and Venus and Jupiter up close through the telescope. Pressing another button, the submarine starts and rises to the surface of the sea, there is another button, the Nautilus grows wings, rises into the air and climbs to the top of Mount Everest. Captain Nemo sits on deck and smokes a pipe, watching the hurricane raging in the mountains, while he presses a button and a glass of fresh grapefruit juice appears on the table. He only needs to know which button to press. Captain Nemo is very careful that if he wants to listen to the Sunday sermon in Westminster Abbey, do not press the button that fires forty shells per minute from the automatic rapid-fire cannon. Captain Nemo is a colossal man because he takes all of this seriously and swears by the push-button theory. He invented and built all this himself. If this charms a sixteen-year-old, it is understandable because this is his world. If this is a mature person, then un rĆŖve dĆ©faillant. However, if it becomes to an entire civilization, then it is a collective lunacy. And if this collective insanity prepares for war and makes tactical weapons, then that is what can be called suicide. Captain Nemo is a dangerous opponent. Not because he is smart, but precisely because he is unheardly limited and short-tempered and without talent. Because he's mediocre. Because he is immature and has no idea about the values ā€‹ā€‹of humanity. He only cares about which button he press. If he were a student, there would still be a chance that it would be worth it. But he is a grown man, so the situation is hopeless. Captain Nemo lives below the spiritual minimum and doesn't even know what he's doing, like the student who gets drunk from sudden knowledge on how to develope chlorineā€”and poisons the whole house.

More recently, the name homo faber has been coined for the mediocre people. Homo faber means crafting man. This is the one about whom Plotinus says that he is unfit for a serious career. If one wants to understand this man, one must turn to the Hebrew tradition. This tradition teaches that creation is only perfect if it passes through four stages. Creation is born in the realm of potentials (aziluth) as possibility and thought. From there it moves into the virtual world (berijah), this is the first step of realization. Then it must be shaped (jezirah) and finally physically made (assiyah). Homo faber only lives in this last, fourth circle. It deals only with what needs to be done manually and physically. What is usually called an invention today is such a monstrous creation that does not affected by the spiritual phases, which is why it is such a wasteful creation. That is why most of the machines are strange and grotesque. The machine was not made to be an object of joy forever, like a work of art. All machines are gnome-like because they are mere fabrications. The Homo faber is such a clumsy man. The operation of the machine is scary, and comical at the same time. The machine is stupid. There is hardly anything more ridiculous than watching the ever-repeating motions of it, as it spits out the tin elephants from itself. Since each thing is not only itself, but also a symbol and a sign of something else, the question must be asked, what is the machine a symbol of? The machine is a symbol of the rational function, of the human ability below the certain spiritual minimum, which was just mentioned, that is mediocrity, that is, lack of talent. Since the machine only moves in the circle of doing (circle of repeated mechanical acts*), it only does something that can it done, and nothing else. Therefore, all technical creations, like sound records, photographs and reproductions, these are only factitious objects, machine-made copies.* The machine does not create, but repeat. That's what's so outrageously comical about it, because life can do many things except repeating. The machine stands outside of time. It has no metaphysics. And if someone were to ask what the metaphysics of this lack of metaphysics is, the answer would be that the fear of time appears here. Man has managed to create something that has no awareness of passing away. However, this work is, unfortunately, idiotic and can only say the same thing over and over again. What does not know death does not live. The machine has no guilt, no conscience, no religion. The technique, let's say, is ineptia mysterii (insensitive to mystery, or to be more precise, to human spirit, and the mystery of inward and intimate humane relations*). Therefore, it is ultimately an occult phenomenon.
People like the machine because it is obedient.
The advantage of a machine over a human is that it does not require freedom. The dictator's ideal is the machine.
The machine is just practice, without any theory. But we know that practice is depraved theory.
The machine is reason manifested, technology is rationalism manifested. Accelerating and shortening intervention in the processes of nature. A kind of artificial and counter-nature where things are predictable because there is no life span.
Technology is an attempt to make people live without sacrifice. The machine is liked by the person who believes that he is at home on the earth.
Machine sentimentality (electric chair).
Technology is the triumph of the outside world, that is, technology is proof that even the wildest phantasm has a greater reality than the outside world.
Whoever builds on the outside world degrades humanity.
Technology is the desacralization of human work.
The comforting nature of technical civilization eliminates the tragic. Now there is only accident.
Sacred and profane work. There is no fruitful work without valeur liturgique (liturgical value*, M. Eliade).
There is no separate sacred and profane work. Work is the realization of dreams. Mediocre dreams (Verne novels, technique). Technique, being inspired by the fear of time, is an insurance against passing away. Illusion. This is the mechanical ideal of immortality.
A never been imagined materiality.
Technology is the fainting of the spirit.
Inventing technology is not productivity.
Technology is a defense against the threat of genius. The craftsman hides in his craft so that he does not have to deal with serious matters. Hence the spiritual deafness of technical man.
The technical person has a freak sense of reality.
Technology and genderlessness. A hermaphrodite machine, neither begets nor gives birth. He excretes. The infernal character of machines.
Technical civilization and narcotics.
Unproductiveness of machines.
The machine is a projection of the subspiritual layer that is instinct and reflex, the base of the machine is Pavlov's world.
A mechanized nightmare like utopia.

I was just thinking about the chainsaw man au earlier today and someone liked the old post so im gonna talk about it a lil bit :] Specifically Fred/Spookerā€™s whole dealio
So. It starts with Toast temporarily being out of commission and him and Ghost realizing that having a two-person devil-investigation team, while effective, is not the best in cases of emergency. Because of that, Toast recommends that Ghost hire someone new before the next investigation, that way they donā€™t leave someone stuck with a devil and Ghost doesnā€™t have to put his life at further risk. Neither of them are too sold on the idea at first, but eventually realize that the number of people who actually know them has dropped dramatically since they started their business.
With the structure of the AU, Ghost and Toast are collectively misanthropic because theyā€™re basically married to their work and donā€™t seek to meet new people or make friends outside of it. So when most of their friends and connections either died or went cold, they just didnā€™t think to make new allies in their place, and theyā€™ve just realized that might catch up to them. Plusā€” Ghost struggles to understand and get along with people, while Toast is working through a lot of trauma and is scared to make new friends. Luckily they put their lives first, and make a little eBay ad to try to get a new member.
In enters Fred! Heā€™s about the same age as Ghost and seems a little skittish as soon as he meets up with Ghost. Initially waving him off as being dead weight, Ghost decides to give him a walkthrough of a job instead of an interview to try to scare him off. However, the job runs slow and the two get to know each other over time. Fred admits that while heā€™s had a couple encounters with devils before, which is why he said he thought he might be able to work with the team, he actually just really needed the money and was running out of options. Heā€™s obviously anxious Ghost is going to be annoyed at his initial dishonesty, but Ghost concludes that being too invested in wanting to ā€œtake downā€ any specific demon is counterproductive to what theyā€™re trying to do, so it might be better Fred is less personally involved.
Over the course of the job(s?), the new guy shows a lot of intelligence and understanding not of the devil, but the world around them and what seemed to be manipulated. Heā€™s incredibly down-to-earth and is able to use his grasp on reality to stay calm when things start to get a little freaky. Ghost slowly comes to the conclusion that this guy might actually have a fighting chance and future in this career that he thought no one else would be able to survive, not least of all because heā€™d gone this long without being scared off. While originally Spooker only has one mission with PIE before him being a ghost ever came up, I think in the AU Ghost and Fred went on a few different jobs taking down weaker devils like practice rounds or something. Toast is in jail, probably for arson, through all of this and gets to hear Ghost slowly warm up to this guy he initially thought was hopeless. Toast had mixed feelings about the whole thing, but was mostly just happy Ghost wasnā€™t throwing himself into danger aloneā€” and to a lesser extentā€” that Ghost was making friends.
Then, Ghost comes back in kind of mopey and explains that something happened. Ghost got overconfident and the pair ended up biting off more than they could chew, and only Ghost made it out. Toast at first tries consoling him, but Ghost cuts back in to blurt that ā€˜Fredā€™ is now a fiend of the devil that killed him (probably something like a devil representing things hiding in the darkness) and is still legally working for the team. Now, actual Spooker is here, and Ghostā€™s resentment of him isnā€™t unbiased or because heā€™s annoying, but because that guy is a devil who killed the first proper friend he made in years. Even as Spooker tries showing that heā€™s on the teamā€™s side, Toast is the only one who accepts him as a real member of the team (after he is forgiven for the arson). Unfortunately for Ghost, Spooker is actually more helpful to the team, even managing to actively save Ghostā€™s life in a way non-devils couldnā€™t. However, Ghost becomes more bitter and irritable after this incident, and concludes that having anyone else work for PIE is stupid dangerous and canā€™t happen again.
Until Chris comes along a fe years later, of courseā€” and this one doesnā€™t die! Chris probably isnā€™t invited into the case, but sneaks along because he recognizes the school theyā€™re investigating as the one he went to as a kid, and became worried for the students and followed Ghost in.

I Have An Announcement To Make
Literallyā€¦
I love all my sisters.
I love my Israelite sisters.
I love my Muslim sisters.
I love my Christian sisters.
I love my Jewish sisters.
I love all my Abrahamic sisters.
I love all my modest practicing sisters.
I love all my sisters.
Yā€™all ALL my sistersā€¦
We should get into the habit of knowing that we are all family. This whole earth is our brethren, children of God, that He created. And how beautiful it would be if we came together for what we have in common, instead of separating ourselves for what is different. The more we realize that we donā€™t need to compartmentalize in order to stay true to ourselves, and we realize that it is One Love that truly makes us ourselves, and helps us all to follow God betterā€¦ the world will CHANGE.
There will be less discrimination, less exclusion, less competition, less confusion, less misunderstanding, less bigotry, less division, less loneliness, less fear, less hateā€¦
There will be more love, more community, more knowledge, more wisdom, more life, and more godlinessā€¦
I am a Hebrew Israelite woman, that is the faith I choose and the faith that chose me (Amen).
And one major thing that God has taught me through the growing of my faith, is that He wants us all to unify under Him. This is what mankind is missing. This is the one part of it all that mankind is missing, or ignoring even.
We need to unify.
Especially us that know the ways of the Abraham (or Avraham, Abram, Ibrahim: depending on what you follow). As he stood before all mankind to teach the ways of the TRUE Most High, the One True Creator. To lead the way into true monotheism, the belief in that One True Creator and no one else.
We need to work harder to see what we can add to each other, instead of thinking that we will take away from each other if we stand to SHARE the walk in the way. Realizing that we can share our journeys with each other. And it will enhance our true godliness and our true understanding of God.
To support and enhance one another in the same goals: To follow Godā€¦. This is the way of God.
Godā€™s most demanded command, is LOVEā€¦ and more over unified unbiased unequivocal LOVE. LOVE that is given without remorse and given freely. To truly love one another, there must be unity.
This is why in Jamaica we coined the phrase: One Loveā€¦ because this is the calling of God. To be of One Love. To be of the same mind as your neighbor. To love your neighbor as yourself. Understanding them and accepting them fully, no matter what differences you see in or around them, because those differences donā€™t matter. What matters is that you love them regardless of all that. That you see them as you see yourself regardless of anything else.
Divided, we fallā€¦ while the goal is to be risen, the goal is to be of above, of Heaven, and as it is in Heaven, and NEVER fallen.
Once we realize that God truly said to follow Him and not religion. Is when we realize that religion is only the WAY you choose to follow God, and following God TRULY is not attached to one religion or another. Then you realize how we are not so different you and I, and we were never meant to be. Only meant to be One under God. The One True Creator. No matter what religion we choose to follow Him with.
In addition:
This is why most things speaking of God has the concept of ā€œOneā€ in the teaching and verbiage.
For He is One of One, and One of His kind.
The One True Creator.
Treat God and the Messiah Yahusha as One, and you will move mountains.
For Godā€™s love is One.
Itā€™s about UNITY.
*in my Queen Latifah voice*
I digress to sayā€¦
For my sisters who do listen to music, or donā€™t. You can choose whether or not youā€™d want to listen to the song Iā€™m leaving you with today.
Keep in mind, that we ALL come from mother Africaā€¦
The main quote I want to emphasize is this one:
ā€œThink of how beautiful it would be, before God and man, to see the unification of all Africansā€

The Grace/Soul of Death
A/N: I might have the itch to write for this fandom once in a while. I enjoyed the show and canā€™t wait for the 2nd season. And yes, I made Azrael female here, because I wanted to.
Fandom(s): Hazbin Hotel
Lucifer Magne/Morningstar & (Sister)Azreal/Reader
Charlie Magne/Morningstar & (Aunt)Azreal/Reader
Summary: As the Archangel of Death, your purpose is to be the direct counterpart to God: creating the balance of nature. The end to his creations. Impartial and everlasting. For this, youā€™re the only one able to travel between the worlds of Heaven, Earth, and Hell freely. So even after your brother, Lucifer, became fallen, your relationship remained.
Headcanon
Content: Fluff, sibling relationships, siblings, platonic relationships, mild angst, family, demons & angels, supernatural, comfort, afterlife, immortality.
Warnings: None.
Main List
Tumblr media
Compared to the rest of the archangels, you looked the most different among them, even for all the differences between you as siblings and not looking exactly alike.
With beautiful grey, six feathered wings and black hair, contrasting the ivory wings and lighter locks of your brothers and sisters.
Perhaps morbidly or ironically, you were incredibly beautiful. Many creatures alike tended to gawk upon seeing you for the first time. Your usual appearance seemed like a fantasy; a Greek statue or a painting, something almost surreal, which said a lot for an angelā€™s usual beauty.
Your looks were crafted to entice the living and the allure of the end. Tempting a person to willingly give up their soul like a siren to a sailor.
Earth is usually your domain, as Death primarily reigns over the world of the living.
Youā€™re the only being able to traverse between all three realms of Heaven, earth, and hell without qualms or restraints.
Already dead souls perished by things like angelic weapons werenā€™t in your jurisdiction. Their lives had already been over.
Your appearance would morph to a humanā€™s personal perception of death, whether it be their greatest fear, comfort, or something they didnā€™t consciously understand as their souls left their bodies.
Among the mortals over the years, you were called many names and visualized with different faces in cultures. Thanatos, Anubis, the Grim Reaper, Hel, depicted as a man in most times with a variety of names but their purposes were one and the same.
Even with the conception of Death being depressing and morbid, your name, Azrael, meant ā€˜Help from Godā€™, and without you, the world wouldā€™ve gone chaotic without a balance.
It does get on your nerves about the many misconceptions and ignorance people have about you. The amount of arrogance one has for life is a headache.
You know every information about any and all souls. From their time of birth to death. It seemed intrusive but your photographic memory was a side effect to what you are.
Before Lucifer fell, you two were close. When he talked about his ideas, curiosity and dreams, you listened to them. Never scrutinizing or warning him to think too far compared to your siblings like Michael and Gabriel, or the other angels who were wary of his ideals.
You were impartial and unbiased with your job. You had to, death favoured no one.
As the physical manifestation of Death, you couldnā€™t disappear from existence yourself. Unlike angels of mortal souls, a pure blooded angel, an archangel at that, was made of grace instead of a soul. And archangels were born with a purpose, unlike humans.
Your main responsibility was to ensure death remained in the living world, though you yourself couldnā€™t decide where souls would go in the afterlife. Only their end of living.
You didnā€™t have to be present to every humanā€™s end. Your very existence was what mattered to earth, like a plague taking its course each life in due time.
Compared to Michael, Godā€™s right hand and chief of the angels, you had a bit of a closer relationship to your Father than one would think. Being created as his counterpart and all.
You wielded a weapon known as the Death Scythe, deadlier than angelic weapons and the sharpest blade that can cut anything. Even though a scythe was its usual form, you could change it to anything you wanted. With such a weapon, no could aside from yourself could even lift it.
Youā€™ve made plenty of trips to Hell. Personally witnessing the Pride Ring grow and expand with sinners as Lucifer and Lilith ruled and made a new home and life.
Lucifer was happy that you never saw him any different unlike Heaven. He at least had one family member around. You were his favourite for staying by him all this time.
Your relationship with your other siblings werenā€™t as close as with Lucifer. You didnā€™t often see each other for being busy so it was rare to even be in the same room together.
Your family wasnā€™t the same after your brotherā€™s descent.
His daughter, Charlie, even got to know you when you visited your brother. Referring to you as Aunt Rea. Curiously asking questions about the mortal realm and watching you and her dad do magic together for her.
You and Lilith were well acquainted with each other over the centuries, but you wouldnā€™t call yourselves particularly close. You did respect each other though.
The first time you reaped a mortal soul, which was Adamā€™s, it personally relieved you since that meant he was gone. He was a headache. But it cut short when you realized he was going to Heaven.
When Lucifer became hyper-fixated on ducks, you indulged on this hobby of his with him. Lending a hand on his duck-making and being the audience when he presented his creations.
He even made a rubber duck based on you. He keeps one beside his family version on his desk, giving you the other with another set of him and Charlie. You keep them in a safe place.
Youā€™ve been to Lu Lu World, Luciferā€™s other passion project that he took great pride in. Your brother still hates Mammonā€™s guts for making a ripoff off of it.
The Day of the Dead is actually your favourite mortal holiday. Which is something else for an immortal being surrounded by fleeting human traditions. Itā€™s the holiday where humans donā€™t look down on death but understand the beauty and importance of it.
Along with celebrating the souls who mattered to the living, the vibrant colours, costumes, music, festivities, it was honestly on one of these rare time that you felt happy.
When Charlie came to you about her rehabilitation project, you unfortunately couldnā€™t offer much assistance. Since being the Angel of Death meant you could only be a neutral party.
You werenā€™t a fan of the Exterminators and Extermination Day. You thought Heaven was always too paranoid, and you still detested Adam when he somehow became the leader of that army. They made you releasing souls, sinners or not, to the afterlife seem pointless if they were to just cease existing because they wanted to.
One time someone had mistaken Adam for you, it got you severely peeved.
And for his bigmouth, Adam wasnā€™t stupid enough to pick a fight with Death herself.
When Lucifer and Lilith parted ways and Charlie became independent, you were your brotherā€™s only frequent visitor when he got more reclusive.
For feeling disconnected with his daughter and lonesome, he was grateful you were still here with him. Even when time changes throughout your immortal lives, your familial love for each other stayed timeless. King of Hell, fallen angel, or the Devil, he will always be your brother.

Prediction based upon the Chosen People, a Nation of Priests. ATOMIC WAR.. Prediction based upon the Chosen People, a Nation of Priests. ATOMIC WAR SOON AFTER 14 NOV. 2023. https://youtu.be/rg7ZCqwesu8 Predictions based upon the Chosen People of Yahweh. Matt 13v24-30 is getting fulfilled. Tares would be burnt. https://youtu.be/xCP4_8JQ2ws PREDICTION BASED UPON THE "CHOSEN PEOPLE" OF THE DEMIURGE YAHWEH, BRAHMA, KHUDA, ETC. www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/CPeople.htm We are very lucky to have a demonstration nation of Priests, the moral teachers, through whom we learn all the moral laws. Abram was of the Semitic race and was loved by both the black Negros and the white Aryans and he, a Nobel Man, was picked up from the Iraq area, the cradle of humanity to settle in the Middle East as Adam, Sarah as Eve and Yahweh gave them the "Promised Land" as the Garden of Eden. So far, the generations of Abraham remained faithful to Abraham and Yahweh, the sons of Man called "Salt of the earth", they enjoyed the best fruit of the earth whilst when they had become liars and murderers, John 8v44, then the same land became barren and the unfaithful "Saltless" people were kicked out of the Promised Land called exodus remembered as "Sukkot" in which they had to leave for a foreign land (Egypt, the land of the faithful Elder son of Abraham, Ishmael) as "slaves". Jesus told this story in the Parable of the Prodigal son Isaac and how they suffered under the cruel Pheroh and Moses, the First Prophet liberated them as the repentant faithful sons of Abraham in which case, there was no more "rift" among the brethren as Moses had made them faithful to Abraham, Father bof the Faithful sons", creating "Eros, the tribal love" among them called the snakes (rifts) were lifted up in the wilderness. But this trait of the Jewish patriarchs did not vanish but became stronger at the times of Christ Jesus depicted in the "Crucification of the Most Righteous Person Jesus" by these thorough "Saltless" people on earth called the "Tares", trouble makers and their fate is foretold by Christ Jesus in the Parable of the Farmer, Yahweh, Matt 13v24-30 when the End of this Dark Age called "Kalyug" comes, I will bundle up the Tares in Israel and burn them yjrough the Atomic War expected on 14/11/2023 wjen Israel is 75 plus six months of intensive war in the name of Yahweh whilst in the Seventh Month, the Middle Candle of Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. represented by all merciful Christ Jesus, the ATOMIC WAR in which the faithful tribal sons, Wheat Plants, that are found in Africa and the Brazillian jungles will survive. The Cycle of the Four Ages is represented by Swastika. Much more in my Youtube Videos; channel One God One Faith. All this you learn through "intuition" taught not by the humans but by God within you if you are not greedy but contented with your lot. The "Blood Money" as depicted by the Temple High Priest and his stooges, especially the American Jews controlling Mammon and Media belongs to the sons of most High Satan Al-Djmar Al-Aksa who will vanish from the planet Earth leaving the 144000 tribal people to enjoy the fruits of the earth. Finally, let us glorify our Supernatural Father of our supernatural "soul" Elohim, Allah, ParBrahm, etc. by Eating the flesh of Jesus and His second coming "Christ = Satguru Nanak", "His Word" Preached by them by lending our ears, Mouth, and take it to our heart, the Stomach and digest it by the teeth of "Logical reasoning" to Brew "Logo" and Preach it from the Rooftops called Drinking the Blood of Christ within our own heart called the "Innerman" and not the inner woman, the Disciples of Pope, Rabbis, hireling Dog-Collared Priests working for Mammon and not God that deliver the sugar-coated sermons of falsehoods far sweeter than honey that creates sectarian riots such as Catholics and Protestants. Jesus established the Church of God, One Fold, the Fellowship of the Royal Priests, headed by One Shepherd, the unbiased like the little children Christ Jesus and His Second Coming Christ = Satguru Nanak. A typical example of the Church of Satan is the Church of England headed by King Charles whose soldiers are not like the serving ones of the Salvation Army but the killers and looters.

Talking about beliefs and religions
Tumblr media
(under the cut I'm going to talk about different beliefs, opinions and religions. If you're uncomfortable with any of that do not continue! Love yall)
So, sometimes I like to talk to different people on the internet and even more so I enjoy it if they have complete opposite beliefs. So, my most recent one was a talk. With a young white American man that firstly said he wanted a nice woman to settle down with and then eventually got into yelling the word f*g. I asked him what his beliefs were and he said God and all the bible and everything.
But, something interesting that I find is a lot of people that 'follow' the bible, just pick and choose which rules to follow. They will gladly scream about gay people but yet it's fine to wear mixed fabrics or get a hair cut because 'well it was written a long time ago.'
When I asked him if he respects all other beliefs as long as they don't hurt anyone he said he respects everyone, but then he continued to call everyone else's beliefs distorted and wrong.
There is a lot of things I don't understand, some things in religion, some things online or even not understanding some things in the lgbtq community.
But, that's my issue. I can educate myself better, and if I still don't understand I can still respect it, I don't need to be so angry it becomes my life.
I don't agree with a lot of religions but I don't scream at them all of them because there's millions and millions of humans on earth, they all have different minds and will therefore have different beliefs.
However, I do not respect you any longer when you start threatening me and calling me names just because I talk of my own beliefs. Especially when those beliefs are to love myself and the earth.
When people don't respect others opinions and beliefs (when they don't harm anyone) their argument becomes null.
That's why this world is pretty corrupt, all different leaders believe in all different things.
In my own opinion a leader should be someone that has an unbiased opinion and belief. If a leader has no religion or set beliefs I think they could be even stronger to lead people because they're willing to listen to everyone.
I believe that these people like to feel angry and fight, no matter how much it corrupts the soul they were just created to thrive on hate.
And I don't listen to them if they don't listen to anyone else.
If you have a religion and someone else has a different one, neither of you are wrong! Both of you follow in what you believe and find a sense of self within it and that's beautiful.
Life can get really frustrating and painful when a lot of us are told we're disgusting or predators just for loving someone. But, I want you to remember that no matter your belief, your religion, your sexuality or anything else, you're beautiful and deserving of so much... Unless you're a cunt then I will crush you hulk style.
Love you šŸ’•

His words stung, not quite in a negative way but in an accurate way. Such scarily accurate advice considering nothing was told, but it was common sense after all. It hurt even more to hear it from an unbiased party.
Silence fell between them, only cars driving, horns honking, and the sound of their steps lingered between the two. He was contemplating if it was too soon- but the alternative would be to wait until dinner. Fuck it.
"Yeah, I love my job..." he answered, an impish smile crossing his lips as he let out a defeated sigh. "I love it, I love meeting the people, I love creating things for people and seeing them happy. I'm incredibly blessed..."
But... "It's funny you say that, because it's also kinda why I'm in this place to begin with." He laughed, loosely and highly unconvincing. His eyes were drawn to the side walk as he finally brought himself to speak up. Surely, if this was too much information, Sailor would stop him...right?
"About Six months ago." six months, one week and three days. But who's counting? "I was engaged to probably the most perfect woman to walk this earth." And that was putting it lightly in Andy's eyes.
"She had gorgeous red hair, the most beautiful hazel eyes. She had a bangin' body and the kindest soul. I mean it, she was the sweetest girl I ever met. She was supportive, she had her own business. She's driven ...I admired the hell out of that woman." Clearly, he had been harboring these words for what felt like an eternity. "She didn't need anybody- not a man, no one. She kicked ass. "
Just thinking of that woman was enough to cause him to smile. His eyes were drawn up to the sky and he let out a sigh of almost relief. Relief to get this out of his system. "And we got engaged, and the short version of it- I was too caught up in my own work to pay attention. Ya know, she loved that I had my own thing goin' but I couldn't put it on pause long enough to focus on her. " It was embarrassing to admit, but the truth. If he was to be honest with himself, he was the problem. "She gave me an ultimatum and I tried to hold my end of the bargain... The problem with lovin' a strong woman is she will leave if you don't hold up your end."
He turned his focus back towards his guest and smiled, mocking his own pain. "So now, I'm being dragged out and taught to live a little. And I guess they're hopin' it'll knock some sense into me."

LO RANT:
Okay, Iā€™m just going to say that Iā€™m really very upset. I hope this blows up and I even hope some lore olympus fans see this but the way that some people are reacting is just disgusting. Iā€™ll try to keep this short because Iā€™ve got other things to do but Im just going to outlet all my rage into this because Iā€™ve been absolutely dreading this episode for a while now.
I knew Demeterā€™s haters were going to be multiplied by 10000x after this episode and itā€™s just as I said. I hate it so much, I donā€™t know why every time a woman cries, or gets upset, or sheā€™s stuck in a terrible situation itā€™s used as something light and not even taken seriously. Why are the insults of Demeter thrown around as a joke? Why is it that when Demeter does literally fucking anything everyone acts like sheā€™s ruining the world. I know I have a huge bias of Hades and I know I share my dislike for him immensely but even from an unbiased point Hades is not a very fleshed out or well developed character. Weā€™re supposed to believe that heā€™s one of the good guys and that heā€™s just framed as a monster and how in his past heā€™s been uptight and absolutely horrible to be around but we do not see any development. Iā€™m so sick and tired of Persephone and her ā€œloveā€ and her ā€œtreatmentā€ being the only thing that carries him. I despise that the only development that he has at all is being ā€œin love.ā€
I say this because you literally canā€™t even remember Hades being nice to anyone who isnā€™t Persephone or doing things that are even decent for anyone who isnā€™t connected to Persephone. Heā€™s such a poorly written character that he legit cannot find any sort of healing by himself, why canā€™t we just let him sort out his emotions and do something thatā€™s actually development worthy. Heā€™s always talking about how much of a terrible person he is and how no one fucks with him but he never gets his shit together, he continues to treat people around him terribly and abuse his power without remorse. There is no healing, no love, no development. Like honestly if you give me three valid developmental changes that separates Hades now from Hades then that doesnā€™t revolve around Persephone, I will give you a fucking badge and I will become a fucking Hades stan for crying out loud.
Next thing is how is this love? How is Persephone having to be the reason of his existence love? How is Persephone being the only thing he has love? The man needs fucking therapy, heā€™s so emotionally attached to her that itā€™s unhealthy. This is not what love is about, youā€™re not supposed to use your spouse or your lover as some fucking therapist or something youā€™re supposed to deal with your problems beforehand. Not saying that you deal with it all by yourself of course, but you need to have a balance. Too much of anything is bad for you and in this case too much reliance on Persephone coddling and fixing his problems is one of the main reasons why this relationship doesnā€™t work. Romantically or lustfully, they both help each other because theyā€™re so into how they physically look. Ever notice that actually? Whenever they mention each other most of the time itā€™s about physical appearance, thatā€™s quite literally the only thing that they share. What the hell do they help each other with that isnā€™t some form of Hades trauma dumping? Have they ever resolved conflict that didnā€™t effect the other in a bad way? Have they ever sat down and had a real down to earth conversation with each other that didnā€™t involve them flirting and lusting with each other? Itā€™s so annoying that thatā€™s literally all of their conversations, not saying that people who obviously like each other canā€™t flirt but it becomes a problem when thatā€™s literally the only thing they do.
Also Iā€™m so sick and tired of people saying, again, that Hades is better now and that heā€™s not the same person. YES HE IS. HES LITERALLY THE SAME FROM BEFORE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER HAS CHANGED. If heā€™s suffering everyone is and there is no in between and weā€™ve seen that happen so many times, this man doesnā€™t have consideration for anyone who isnā€™t Persephone and itā€™s getting fucking tiring. Iā€™m getting fed up with this comics poor writing, if you wanna parade around and say how developed and well written your characters are please have the decency at least to make them that way. Stop fucking telling us shit and show us please itā€™s getting so enraging and infuriating.
Also, I hate that in this fandom so many fucked up characters are praised for everything they do. Even to the fucking main character which everyone shouts that they stan and they protect but they donā€™t even call out any of their faves who have actively hurt Persephone. A lot of fans have such animosity towards Minthe fans but I will say this, at least most Minthe fans acknowledge that sheā€™s done terrible things and they donā€™t stray away from the fact that sheā€™s not a great person. Iā€™ve seen so many people who favorite other problematic characters not even bring up what they did and even went as far as to sweep it under the rug, gaslight people into thinking itā€™s false, and even defending the disgusting things that they did. Itā€™s really concerning how this fandom will bend over backwards for the characters who do the exact same fucking shit that they hate other characters for.
Another thing is that I absolutely hate how weird and sexual everything had to be between them, especially by Hades. Itā€™s so incredibly disgusting how every single boob shot, lip shot, and body shot is from Hadesā€™ point of view. Like why canā€™t Persephone just be in clothes that fit her, that sheā€™s comfortable in, that she gets to pick out. Everything about her has to resort to Hades thinking about sexual things and this wouldā€™ve been fine if Persephone was actually in charge of her own sexuality. There are some rare times when she is but for the most part itā€™s everyone else treating her like sheā€™s a sexual object on display that they can ogle at. Literally thereā€™s so many unnecessary panels of Persephone doing normal things with her boobs out and donā€™t forget the countless poses and positions that sheā€™s constantly in to make her look weirdly inappropriate as well. I just donā€™t get it, why canā€™t Persephone have any control why is her being cute surrounded by the idea of her being powerless with big boobs and a tiny waist and stuff. I also donā€™t exactly enjoy the fact that the only real endgame to all of this is Persephone giving up her virginity to Hades, thatā€™s what most fans are ready for and thatā€™s how they want it to end. Me personally, it makes me feel uncomfortable that people comment about Persephone finally having sex with Hades and stuff so passionately. Iā€™m not sure why I feel like this but it always makes me incredibly sick, maybe Iā€™m the only one.
But anyways the last thing I wanna say is that I absolutely hate that everyone is just so strict and cruel to Demeter, they canā€™t possibly see her side of things but theyā€™ll go through hoops trying to defend Hades and bully other people who have differing opinions. Speaking of that, Iā€™m very glad that there hasnā€™t been any real toxic fans interacting with me. Iā€™ve seen how rude and disrespectful they can get so I really am happy that everyone who views my page are such bright wonderful people. Hopefully it stays like that but you never know, this post might be the one to wake them up. But anyways, thatā€™s the end of the rant and I probably made it even longer than usual (which I apologize for) but if you really made it this fair I applaud you because I know itā€™s a lot. This episode just really triggered such anger within me because of how powerless and defeated Demeter looked while Hades shouted and insulted her, even going as far as to invade her personal space. Itā€™s all so disgusting and so many people have let it slide which just makes me eye roll. I had to defend her because not many people ever do it seems. But like I always say these rants are meaningless outlets for me and my opinions to write my thoughts down and how I interpreted the media, if you agree or disagree is both fine we donā€™t have the same brains so weā€™re not always going to agree. Also, I mean no disrespect to the fandom (thatā€™s not toxic) but I did want to call out the bullshit that some fans do seem to pull with these situations.

ok, iā€™m on season 3 on my aos rewatch. literally three episodes in and i already have something to say (i have much to say about episodes 1 and 2 as well but people have already said them lol they play a part in my future criticisms when i get to certain episodes though so look out for those if if you want idk)
3x03 showcases Jemmaā€™s disorientation and repressed trauma (anyone remember ā€˜put it neatly inside the music box so it doesnā€™t interfere like everā€™? this episodeā€™s portrays it well) from being stranded on an alien planet forā€¦ letā€™s go with 4,722 hours, among other things, and damn i donā€™t even know how i even got to like ftzsmmons until season 4 the first time around.
so Jemma gets back from Maveth. sheā€™s in the med pod and wakes up from a nightmare, as if ready to fight. it had only been mere hours since she got back. that speaks to how much sheā€™s been affected by her experience, and not just the physical disorientation from Earthā€™s gravity to being startled by a phone ringing.
which is why iā€™m so disappointed with Fitzā€™s response to her being back.
hereā€™s one of the red flags in 3x03:
S: Iā€™m not accustomed to this many distractions.
F: Yeah, well I'd imagine you must have a lot to take in: extraterrestrial materials and specimens to examine, andā€“
S: My curiosity faded once the fear set in.
iā€™m a bit appalled, to be honest; what else did this man expect? she was stranded on an alien planet. if it took them so long to figure out that the monolith was a portal, what more for Jemma? i realize this may sound a bit unfair to Fitz because ofc who would know how to react to someone who went through that, but the disorientation shouldā€™ve clued him in; also, hadnā€™t they asked about how she was able to survive (imo the Will reveal is a bit unrealistically slow because no one asked her how she lived)? Bobbi was there when Jemma reacted to the phone ringing and excused herself, and told Fitz, ā€˜sheā€™s adjusting. give her time.ā€™ you know what he does? he books out an entire restaurantā€“a fancy one, might i addā€“that heā€™s been holding out for monthsā€“which, by the way, also didnā€™t help because knowing that particular information, Jemma ā€˜itā€™s my faultā€™ Simmons is the kind of person who would absolutely fold into the slightest sign of peer pressure (sort of unrelated but rewatching it reminded me of kilgrave from jessica jones or wilson fisk from daredevil because iirc fisk had done it for vanessa multiple times (the context of the iconic ā€˜you embarrassed me in front of vanessaā€™ scene) and ngl it sounds like something kilgrave would do (yikes i wonder what that says about him)) not to mention bringing her outside, of all places.
IN CONTRAST to Daisy, arguably the most empathetic on the team (iā€™m aware this sounds biased but i really am looking at this as unbiased as i could), buys Jemma flowers as a ā€˜feel better soonā€™ gesture and as a reminder for the name change (where she also doesnā€™t pressure Jemma into getting it right immediately, ā€˜you can call me whatever you wantā€™), visits Jemma in her room where sheā€™s most comfortable, and while iā€™m not really okay with Daisy basically saying ā€˜we need you back in the fieldā€™ she also says, ā€œI know you don't want to talk about what happened yet, but when you do, I'm hereā€“for whatever you need.ā€ she doesnā€™t try to fill in the blanks or assume what Jemma needs, sheā€™s offering Jemma for someone to be there, for what she needs. kind of interesting for me to see how much Daisy and Fitz contrast here but also unknowingly sets up the atrocity that is season 5 where empathy had been the answer all along (i.e., Coulson giving the serum to Daisy instead, giving Coulson the choice to live via the serum instead of sweeping aside his life like it didnā€™t matterā€“like itā€™s just basic mathematics ahem) but also damn Jemma you kind of deserve better than that.

So.. Honestly I wasn't even gonna make this post cause Hazbin criticism has overwhelmed me to the point I'm actually numb to it and can't find myself to care anymore and just pass it off as someone's hot take that I don't agree with but they do indeed have the right to say it so I just respect it and take my leave.
But the couple criticisms I cant wrap my head around, are the ones surrounding Vaggie.
Tumblr media
(Btw. This shit about to be long as fuck)
So I wanna go through two of those criticisms and just give my two cents. While also trying to be as unbiased as possible.
(that's gonna be hardšŸ˜«)
Vaggie may be my favorite character but majority of what I'm saying will come from what I've seen from comics or the Pilot and kinda squash that in with my own opinion and theories aswell.
Starting off with Vaggie being a stereotype:
Yeah I gotta be honest I don't see it man. People say she's a stereotype for both lesbians and Latinas but I just don't see it. They say Lesbian stereotype because her name is "Vaggie" which sounds like Vagina (apparentlyšŸ’€) and Lesbians like...Vagi-.
Look man you get the ideašŸ˜©
and Angel Dust mentioned that and made a joke about it in the comics which brought even more attention and anger. Which I think it's just a misunderstanding but people being mad about it is valid.
But I think it's a misunderstanding because I don't think Vaggies name has anything to do with the fact that she's lesbian at all. Had it been so.. why would her name still be Vaggie since BEFORE she was confirmed Lesbian? Vaggie still had that name even in the comics where her and Angel Dust were still a couple and before she was written to have any involvement with Charlie at all as a couple, friend or even acquaintance.
Not too mention that, (And I think a lot of people either forgot this, didnt care to search it up or just did not know in general). But Vaggie is not her full name. Her full real first name is Vagatha. Which honestly doesn't even sound like vagina anymore. It's literally just Agatha, but with a "V" and Agatha is a real name that people have had before. And most likely still carries on somewhere in the world. In fact a very famous writer is called Agatha Christie. I think Vivzie got inspiration for Vagatha off of her or Agatha Harkness, the witch from the Marvel comics. Agatha also means "Good women" in Greek so I mean there's that aswell cause as we've seen, out of the whole cast, except for Charlie of course, Vaggie is definitely the more down to earth demon.
Or maybe she just got creative and made it upšŸ’€,
Just heard Agatha and decided to slap a "V" on that bish.šŸ˜‚
who knows man. But yeah I really doubt she just got the name just off of the simple concept of Vaggie being a Lesbian. My theory is that something happened in her family or her past in general where they cut her name down to Vaggie instead of her full name. But that's just my theory.
Anyways time for the Latina stereotype claim:
Appearently people think Vaggie is this always angry edgy stereotype of a latina.
And to that I have to say....
Did.. Yall... Not watch....the pilot?.
No no sorry.. Wrong question. Let me rephrase
Did yall not pay attention to ANY of the Vaggie scenes in the pilot? If not let me refresh.
Let's see.
1. Tells Charlie not to sing and she sings anyway.
2.Angel Dust fucking bails on them when they needed him most and leaves them to make a fool of themselves on the news.
3. The entire news audience literally makes fun of the person she loves (that' being Charlie) and her idea and one of them literally throws hands with Charlie.
4. She has a whole limo ride back to the hotel with Angel Dust who doesn't even give one damn that he did wrong on his word to be there in Support of the hotel.
5. ALASTOR

6. There Being a literal bar In a place where sins are discouraged and Charlie and Vagatha most likely are trying to help people sober up if they had any drug addictions. Which I'M PRETTY FUCKING SURE THEY DO.
(*cough* *cough* Angel Dust *cough*)

7. Alastor AGAIN! šŸ’€

(Btw I love Alastor. He's a great character, and an asexual icon such as myselfšŸ˜Œ. But I gotta admit, it's funny this man literally mistreated Vaggie in majority of the scenes they shared and nobody said nor mentioned anything about it, but some people were so quick to call Vaggie a toxic partner when she pushed Charlie's face away in the comics because of... Oh.. Idk... PERSONAL SPACE BRUH! You know even couples are entitled to their privacy. That shouldn't come as a shock but....I guess it does. )
I mean do I really have to explain why Vaggie being a stereotype of an edgy angry Latina just doesn't fit? I would hope not but screw it.
Well first because Vaggie is Salvadoran which actually makes her Hispanic, not Latina. šŸ’€ I Mean Hispanic stereotypes do exist don't get me wrong but I still just don't see it fit in this case.
It doesn't fit because Vaggie is reasonably understandably angry in every scene. Literally every scene! When she's angry you can clearly see the way she's being treated aswell in that scene and it's always like shit!
I think its the tone of these scenes that make people just kind of skip over them, cause they were played out so well into this looney toon slapstick type character comedy to disguise the abuse and absolute mistreatment of Vaggie towards majority of her pilot screentime.
However I will admit that Vaggie does indeed have anger issues that she needs to work on. That most likely being one of her main character flaws that we might see more of and explore more in the actual show. But it absolutely had nothing to do with her race, nationality or anything close to that manner. And as a Hispanic myself, I just gotta say. I'm so tired of being put in this box and the characters I relate and can see myself in being put into a box where you can't fall out of line from your race like you're not your own fucking person. It's just so... Meh and controling. šŸ˜’
I remember when people called speedy Gonzales a stereotype and they tried to get rid of him in the looney tune shows and Hispanics were Not having ANY OF IT! It was so funny to seešŸ¤£ they fucking fought for that fucking mouse and I was right there with them man. Fuck you. Speedy Gonzales is the shit and you will not take him from us. āœŠšŸ¼
AnywaysšŸ˜‚ got off trackšŸ’€
Like yeah Vaggie had a stick up her ass but literally anyone would if you had to go through half the shit she went through.
And she didnt even have that stick up her ass in the beginning of the pilot either. She was actually sort of calm and collected and was just focused on helping Charlie at the news station. I mean yeah she was a bit worried but not FOAMING AT THE MOUTH WITH ANGER or edgy in the slightest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway when it comes down to it. Vaggie is the most misunderstood character in Hazbin Hotel in my opinion and I think that has to do with people's lack of interest in her and some people's huge bias hatred towards Vivzie and her work.
Either way I just want to make it perfectly clearšŸ‘Œ
that I'm not here to tear you a new ass over your opinion. I was just giving mine with points and facts to follow it up. That's all.
Whether you continue to hate Vivizies work and believe Vaggie is a stereotype is in your own lane to do so.
Just felt like I had to say that cause the last time somone felt their opinion was attacked by me I got told to get stoned to death and or kill myself sošŸ˜‚.. Just avoiding the chance of that bullshit again.
I'm gonna end this off by saying thank you very much for those of you that read the whole thing and for those I may or may not helped see a side of Vaggie they probably missed the first time around watching the pilot.
Here's a cookiešŸŖ
It's whatever flavor you want it to be.

Timeline, what timeline? Fuck the timeline.
Idk what Iā€™m doing at all. Here be
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Batman takes one look at the situation and gets a headache.
So Phantom clearly is utterly out classing Red Huntress and with the way she metaphorically gained power is making a territorial creature of debatable sapience power display. The ghost is, for lack of better wording, unfolded over the roof of the city hallā€¦ basking. The ghostā€™s actually terrifying like this, obviously not playing in the humanoid shape thanks to their invasion of its territory.
Phantomā€™s unflinching in the face of Red Huntressā€™s shots and belligerent attacks. Itā€™s only when Superman touches down beside Bruce that the ghost stirs. Lazarus eyes land on them, and the ghost pulls its tail in like a giant snake. When it stops moving, peering down from the roof, the ghost is alarmingly different in size to its usual shape. At the length of two school busses and with a upper body now comparable to a small car Phantom is alarming to see, adding on the new extra arms and sparking gaseous almost fins.
Ah not the Huntressā€™s rise in rank, their arrival did this.
Butā€¦ Batman has read everything he could find on this ghost and not even when it battled its king did it take this form. Phantom has always shown itself as human so what about themā€¦ when Superman touched down.
ā€œRed Huntress fall back,ā€ the girl heeds him even if itā€™s with a growl but sheā€™s willing to listen to the adults at the moment so newly under their watch she doesnā€™t have the daring of the younger team.
ā€œWhy?ā€ Sheā€™s keeping Phantom in her peripheral even as she addresses him.
ā€œI was going to bring this up with you later but it seems Phantom beat us out in activity, Superman would you listen to this, donā€™t turn around, I have a theory backed by scientists outside the bias sphere.ā€ Huntress shoots a look at the still Phantom, but is willing to sit on her still hovering board and listen closely. The named alien turns his back to the ghost and Bruce swears when the opening is given.
The large ghost swats the man out of the air with its tail, and Superman careens into the sidewalk. ā€œDonā€™t!ā€ Batman stops the teen beside him before she launches an attack.
Superman pops up from his spot looking at the ghost bewildered. Bruce sighs, ā€œas I was going to say, Superman donā€™t look away from the ghost and stay out of swatting range, scientists outside of Amity Park have proven that Phantom is sentient and is proving sapient from a scientific perspective unbiased by the Fentons.ā€ Red Huntress looks at him like she wants to argue so he pushes on, ā€œAt the very least Phantom is to be treated as a very dangerous predator, because thatā€™s what it displays behaviorally. Phantom is a territorial Earth based ghost, likely not the same as those that come out of the portal. Heā€™s a natural prevention to invasion, and has been defending his lair or home from invaders.ā€
The ghost hisses suddenly from its perch and Batman looks up in time to see the arrival of another ghost. The one obsessed with boxes. The small ghost is slow moving as it sets down a box in front of Phantom before booking it out of range. Unimpressed eyes stare after the Box Ghost, but Phantom doesnā€™t take up its regular pursuit of the invader.
ā€œIf that theoryā€™s right why didnā€™t the damn thing go after Boxy,ā€ and Bruce, The Batman, grimaces at the girlā€™s arrogance.
He doesnā€™t answer cause Superman has caught on and answers in her stead, ā€œbecause Iā€™m here. In the reports most properties damaged in ghost fights are damaged by humans. Occasionally electronics are fried, but ghosts typically move or steal items. Iā€™m the big threat here cause try as I and other big name League members might, we cause a lot of property damage in our fights. Thatā€™s a territory threat to Phantom.ā€
The Red Huntress looks at Phantom with wide eyes behind her visor and the voice modulator makes the crack in her voice more pronounced, ā€œI went up the totem pole when you came, this is a threat display. Phantom, sometimes said it had to stop play fighting before it would vanish. How literal would that be?ā€
Batman jolts at her words, ā€œVery.ā€
He looks up at the entity that is watching the way the little ghost went.
And that is when the Mayor exits the building, walking out of a door only for Phantom to slam its arm down around him. The man, Vlad Masters, looks up at the ghost suddenly holding him hostage and sighs.
ā€œReally?ā€ His tone is conversational, and Batman wonders how he is so calm. ā€œI have errands to run but if youā€™re going to be on the roof please let the office ladies do their work and Margerie needs to leave to get her son early.ā€
The ghost grumbles, but moves its arm, only to scruff the man by his suit jacket. Vlad Masters doesnā€™t so much as flinch as the ghost picks him up. ā€œSeems Iā€™m not talking to you heroes today, would one of you email me so I can talk to you distantly?ā€
Superman in his Midwest manners is quick to reply, ā€œCourse, uh do you need umm help there.ā€
ā€œNo, no,ā€ drawls the mayor when Phantom has completed an arch around the heroes and set the man down by a vehicle. ā€œOur city's resident ghost menace has decided that youā€™re after his humans, what with taking Miss Huntress under your wing. Now if you donā€™t mind I do have errands.ā€ And the man gets in his car and leaves.
The Red Huntress clatters a little as she touches down on the ground. She looks small in her suit as she looks at Phantom, ā€œSo youā€™re as smart as Mini?ā€
Bruce wonders what that means but based on the screech Phantom letā€™s out itā€™s nothing good, and the fact Superman has to haul them out of the subsequent line of attack says more.
Once theyā€™ve been successfully chased into the suburbs, Phantom twists and vanishes out of sight.
The new heroine stands in the middle of the street a conflicted air settled on her shoulders. ā€œShow me that research.ā€ She whispers, and Bruce wishes internally that he had the power to read minds.
A few hours later Amity, and Red Huntress specifically are under siege. And Bruce finds himself scrambling through books on gatekeepers sent by Constantine under a energy dome. The girl in question napping in an improvised cot desperately resting.
The ghosts fight by attrition, and evidently play fighting with Phantom has become a no go.
Prompt
The justice league FINALLY investigates Amity, and realizes that theyā€™ve made a grave mistake by letting a burgeoning hero shoulder a large problem without any training or support. They rectify this immediately by offering a position in the JL along with an assortment of mentors and other teen heroes to bond with.Ā 
Red Huntress receives this invitation in front of Phantom, while actively trying to hunt him down.
