#But I could be wrong

[sadlynotthevoid]

I've actually read a chinese novel in which the main character and the love interest did the second to last. It was hilarious.

I mean, they did have a one-night stand once before that, but they were really unserious/friendly about it. It's to the point that they could have met any other way and the dynamic would still had worked, but the author wanted to write bed scenes.

The best part is that the main character did have an actual trashy ex.

we’ve all heard of the fake dating trope… but have u considered.. fake exes trope…..

‘my new romance-obsessed friend asked me who my last date was with and i was too embarrassed to say i’ve never been on a date so i blurted your name and it turns out they know you’ au

‘i didn’t want to tell my friend who my real date last night was so i just pointed at a random stranger (you) but now they’re storming over to interrogate you and you’re playing along??? okay’ au

‘a mutual friend tried to introduce us, but we already knew each other from LARPing but we’re both too embarrassed to admit that so i jokingly said we used to date and oh god now our friend wont stop interrogating us about it’ au

‘im egging your house for a dare but your parent is a cop and they’re yelling at me so i told them that you were my ex and you wronged me and now you’re coming outside and please go along with this i don’t want to go to jail’ au

‘my current partner is a huge asshole and i need a reason to break up with them so will you pretend to be my possessive and violent ex’ au

‘we’re contestants on a reality show and we kind of hate each other so the producers told us to pretend to be warring exes for the ratings so now we keep inventing crazier and crazier things the other did while we were dating’ au

Is it weird to be a cis woman but want to be trans? Not trans man but trans woman. Like, I tried to imagine myself as a dude but I couldn't really put myself in those shoes. But if I was a trans woman, I don't have to deal with the unwanted subscription and probably taller

I mean lots of shit is "weird" but if you're asking me if it's dirty or evil I'd say you're probably fine

thinking about how wildly different the vibes between destroy love (bison’s song) and hurt me please (fadel’s song) are, even though both are about the same experience—being betrayed by the person they loved.

in the destroy love music video, bison is literally chasing kant with a gun, ready to “destroy” him. the song is fueled by anger because bison trusted kant completely, only to feel humiliated when he realized kant’s love was a lie. his lyrics are a challenge, daring kant to keep up the act while bison plays along, determined to get his revenge.

meanwhile, hurt me please takes a completely different tone. fadel is being beaten up by style and almost masochistically reveling in the pain. unlike bison, fadel never fully trusted style; deep down, he always knew style was deceiving him. but he let it happen, allowing himself to be hurt because he loved the illusion of being loved—even if it was fake. even after discovering the truth in ep 6, he confesses his love to style and lets him embrace him, clinging to the pretense just a little longer.

i feel like these songs seem to hint at how the brothers will approach their revenge on kant and style. bison will be terrifyingly ruthless, while fadel, like in the music video, won’t be able to bring himself to hurt style back, even when he gets the chance.

also, it’s interesting how fast love (style’s song) stands out. it’s a bright, carefree love song, completely free of angst. i think that’s because style is the most emotionally honest character in this show. he doesn't hesitate to admit that he likes fadel, despite knowing the truth about him. the lyrics are quite literally about his fearless attitude toward love, showing how he doesn’t care that fadel is a hitman.

kant is the opposite of style in that aspect. he's so hard to read. as the character who ties the entire show together, he’s still the hardest to understand. we know the least about his true feelings, which is why i'm super curious about his song! i feel like it's gonna be about regret? asking for forgiveness? we'll see.

Okay, maybe this is just cos Valentino is my favorite character (equally tied with the Vees in general, of course), but I honestly wonder about how he would die.

Mostly, it seems like he would die because the fandom demands it. He's terrible and abusive, and so, theoretically, he must die. But I dunno... something about all that doesn't fit well with me.

Okay, so let's talk about Valentino getting killed off. There's no way for him to be changed and redeemed and he's too horrid to be able to live, so he dies. Gets crushed and stamped out and we just move on to some arc where Angel has to reconcile that his abuser is dead (which is all cool) and what that means for him.

But the thing is, for some reason, I don't know if I see things happening that way given the way they've portrayed Valentino's relationship with the other Vees, especially Vox. There are actual brief shots where Valentino does seem to have an actual genuine affection for Vox without the same toxic abuse slipping in. The two are placed on this equal footing where they can both taunt each other, grab each other's cheeks and shake one another when they're angry and upset. Val merely flicks Vox's hand off when Vox grabs and roughly shakes him as opposed to a backhand that Angel gets for telling him to go fuck himself.

Then there's the question of both Val and Vox's antennas being broken in some way, how they seems to have a past together in this partnership. Valentino, as a character, seems to have more to do with other characters than simply being only Angel's abuser is all I'm saying from this. He is deeply connected with the big villain of S2 which is said to be Vox and the Vees as a whole.

So here's what I'm thinking.

I don't think Val can simply be killed off as "He's an abuser and therefore deserves it, and that's it."

For one thing, what about the porn industry Valentino controls? I don't think the awfulness of the sex abuse ends with simply Valentino, even if Angel were to be the righteous one to take over. Sure, it might be better, but there's still so many systemic issues there. That's just Hell in general.

Secondly, can Charlie and Angel kill him? Charlie stopped her father from killing Adam even after all he's done. Ever after Adam slaughtered so many of her people, she still stopped Lucifer and told him it was enough. Niffty just didn't get the memo. Could Angel face his abuser and kill him? I don't know. Their relationship is complicated and fucked up.

Thirdly, what about the whole thing of redemption? The thing about Hazbin Hotel is that part of it seeks to understand what redemption means. Who deserves it? Can anyone have it? Even the worst? The root of all evil? And the thing is, no, Val doesn't deserve redemption or the chance to change... But that's the thing... It's not about that. People can change if there is a chance offered. And of course, once that chance is offered and denied, it's fair game to kill Valentino off. But I still think it should be there.

Because that's what Hazbin Hotel is about. Redemption and what it means rather than who deserves. It's about changing a system for good.

And lastly, I'm not against Val dying. I just want it to be with purpose. If anything, if he dies (which he most likely will), I want it to not be entirely due to Angel, but Vox (and Velvette, though we haven't had as much interaction, he still clearly means something to her) too since those are the two character whose arcs he's most tied to.

I just think it's important to consider when we talk like "Yeah, lmao, Val is so gonna get killed off next season". Well... what if he doesn't? What is Val's purpose in the series?

Ok I need to know if anyone else thought this or if I completely misinterpreted these lines. So during Little Brother when Pony does his monologue, he says that “you could still smell the cigarettes he always smoked, Winstons”. And I first heard this and I kinda did a double take. Because we all know Dallas doesn’t really have a place he considers home, he constantly moves and I guess we kinda have to assume he doesn’t really have a family. But my questioning comes in is that, do we know is his legal name is actually Dallas Winston? Or does he call himself Dallas Winston (specifically Winston as his last name) because he likes that cigarette brand? Like has he attached the emotional value to that as a constant in his life, and therefore has chosen to call himself Dallas Winston?

Unpopular opinion: I think Peter Gabriel's version of Heroes should play during the byler kiss, not David Bowie's

prime mover, from my very overthought lyric analysis i did a while ago, is about rape and being a prime mover isn't a good thing but no one wants to talk about that

Idk if this is a hot take or not, but I don’t think Jon, Martin, and Jonah are actually trapped in the computer in tmapg. I think it’s more likely that they left some kind of imprint/impression on the tmapg universe that made Norris, Chester, and Augustus.

There are many, if not infinite, universes. Since Jon’s voice is what pulled the fears through, it makes sense for part of him to be wherever the fears are. (This could either mean he is split into millions of pieces, or that an impression of him is left. I think it’s an impression caused by that means he could exist somewhere).

Of course, they could have just landed in the tmagp universe and that is why we are following that universe. I would love to “see” Jon and Martin again. But, I don’t think that’s where the story is headed.

But hey, that’s just a theory. A PODCAST THEORY. Thanks for reading!
