Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

So pretending Viv didn't retcon her own fucking lore drop on twitter by being like "omg!! If it wasn't obvioussssss, he was lying. Silly guy. Isn't the sin of WRATH such a egoistical, self absorbed PRIDEFUL guy"—

I'm very into this idea that Satan, and the Imps and all the Hellborn are the indigenous people of Hell.

Which would mean, that Lucifer got banished to a foreign land, immediately claimed ownership of it, allowed/told his wife to manipulate everyone with her singing, and then proceeded to flood Hell with human Sinner's that he also made legally above all the Hellborn. And then got...bored?? And quit actively being king to go make ducks and emotionally abuse his daughter.

Like, holy shit is Lucifer being a metaphor for white colonialism fucking INSANE. The running assumption (and Viv's bullshit on twitter) has been that Lucifer and the other Sin's were together as a group. That the circus theme, and the rings, and the Goetia was just the world they built. But, if Satan and the Sin's were just the indigenous people who lived there, that sure as fuck makes the circus theme more creepy?

Circuses have historically been horrifying displays of human cruelty. Human trafficking, the buying and selling of people with dwarfism as toys or pets, physical torture and extreme conditions, racisim, rape, animal abuse, just like...bad stuff. There were probably some circuses that were fine, but the vast majority of the time it wasn't done humanely or with any dignity to the people performing.

Lucifer, showed up and just like, forced the Sin's into a Circus they didn't want to be apart of? The Circus isn't a thing anymore, because Lucifer isn't as into it, and all of the Sin's seem perfectly fine not doing it anymore.

Thing is, who the fuck was this Circus for?

The only thing I can think of is Lucifer wanting to feel in control again after being banished, and trying to establish the Sinner's as the deserving and dominate "race".

He would've forced Queen B to humiliate and abuse her hellhounds to do...tricks and dances on balls or whatever the fuck, to show how lowly and animalistic they are. Hellhounds aren't like Sinner's. Sinner's are just people with animal traits, they're REAL PEOPLE unlike these dogs.

He would've forced Ozzie to make his Hellborn and Imps to do dangerous and unnecessary acts. The big difference between Hellborn and Sinner's, is that the Hellborn can actually die. So when the Sinner's see a Imp fall from a trapeze act, or end up set on fire and hurt, they'll see that they're inherently better because they aren't that frail. And again, historically circuses had a lot of human trafficking, sex, labor or otherwise. Ozzie runs the sex industry, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was overlap there in the start.

Mamm and Levi seem to be on the infrastructure side, building and maintaining the society and rings everyone lives on. We KNOW that Imps and Hellborn are underprivileged and lack resources. Hellhounds are forced into shelters where they're thrown out the second the little social funding they have runs out. Imps are basically constantly struggling, and never seem to have stable lives. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the support and care that the Hellborn need are being used to "fix" the "overpopulation" issue that Lucifer caused.

And Satan. Holy shit is forcing Satan, the original king to Hell, and the creator of the main indigenous peoples of Hell, to be the fucking "Law" absolutely horrifying. The fact that Satan is in such a high position of power(supposedly) and he's here, making an "example" of a Imp to get the bureaucracy off his ass and move on with his life. Well, if the god of Imps says that they're all disgusting rapists who are after the poor, innocent white Goetia then that must be true!!!! HORRIFYING. WHAT THE FUCK.

Lucifer forced the original gods of Hell to debase, and humiliate their peoples for the entertainment of his Sinner's, and then got fucking bored and left the circus to hide away in his castle. No wonder Ozzie is a consent freak and B is so concerned about people self harming.

There's a world, where Hazbin Hotel actually takes RISKS, and tries to do something interesting. But Viv backtracks every time. And also would never allow her villian characters to be...ya know....villainous. But Luci can't do more then be kinda a little abusive to his daughter but only in a sad way, otherwise he's not a gooodddd guyyyyyy nooooooo.

Anyway, I'm very attached to this indigenous Satan au. Fuck Lucifer, give the Imps their fucking land back you colonizing bitch, and let Satan be the king of Pride again. And stop forcing them to fucking celebrate your dad's son by claiming it's actually just about celebrating youuuu and your sinnn. Shut the fuck up you goddamn weirdo.

Last artwork before the year ends! I sketched this back in summer and really wanted to preserve the linework so i tried to keep the rendering to a minimum (more difficult than anticipated…)

Christmas Eve family gathering is already making me want to rip my hair out. According to my mom I’m being rude because I put my headphones on simply to... *checks notes* Respond to a text because I couldn’t hear my screen reader through all the conversation and to block out the noise because I was starting to feel a bit overstimulated by how loud it was getting.

“Kiss my grits Scrooge”

Quick Gideon based on a sign me and my friends saw in a thrift store (under the cut)

I regret not buying this sign every day… what does “kiss my grits Scrooge” even mean…

They finally did it everybody they said the thing!!!!!!!

"How much do you love Charles Xavier?"

"HOW DARE YOU ASK ME SUCH A QUESTION???!!!??!!?!!??!!??!!!"

HE SAID THE THING !!!!!!!!!!

[speak-see-hear-touch-think-not]

Reminder: You don't have to feel happy during Christmas. You just don't. Don't let "tradition" or peer pressure guilt you into forcing yourself to be "happy"

Holidays are very overstimulating and tiring as they are, you don't need to push yourself even harder

If you're feeling unwell in any way you're not doing anything wrong and you are valid

neil josten, who, for most of his life, never owned more than what he could fit in his duffel bag. he never carried anything that wasn't essential to his survival - his binder keeping track of the famous exy prodigies included. he never lugged more than his weight, and he never stayed anywhere long enough to obtain sentiments.

neil josten, who directs matt and dan to his living room. they are hauling in a tree into his and andrew's apartment. their friends got stuck with the job because nicky demanded they get a tree, but the little pines and needles rubbed against neil's scars uncomfortably, and andrew claims he didn't want the tree in the first place so he resolutely refused to any manual labor. nicky quickly left for germany, and the rest of their friends were either unavailable or whined too much about the work (kevin).

he walks up to the tree - a real one, with the scent of pine and warmth and christmas overflowing the apartment - and hangs an ornament. it's a useless, metal thing that he'd carried around for half a year. he purchased it when the olympic team played in rio de janeiro and kevin forced him and their merry band of friends to go touring around the city when they got the chance.

he hangs another ornament, a little orange paw to represent palmetto state university. he doesn't live in south carolina anymore, but he'd collected it as a reminder of the university that flipped his world upside down. andrew hangs another one beside it, and although he claims to be scrooge and hate all things merry, he collects just as much, if not more, ornaments than neil, and he makes hot chocolate for the two of them. with marshmallows and cinnamon sprinkled on top.

he runs into an unanticipated problem with the cats. or, well, just one - sir (short for sir fat cat mccatterson) seems to love the ornaments. it is a fight every single day to prevent him from climbing the tree and breaking everything they own - all christmas decorations included.

neil josten, who knows that ornaments are stupid, completely useless, and non-essential items to survival. it burns money that he could use as passage tickets, obtain new identities and new passports, and for temporary food, clothes, and shelter. but he lives in a warm brownstone in brooklyn with two cats and a boyfriend who burns nutmeg-scented candles to enrich the air with christmas spirit (though he will never admit to such intentions). but when he's done, and he steps back to admire the christmas tree that lacks lights but does not lack ornaments, he find he doesn't mind. he doesn't mind that he owns more clothes and shoes than he knows what to do with, that he's bought and made ornaments that he doesn't really remember the purpose of, or that, for once, he doesn't feel any desire or need to run.

he's content where he is, with more than he could ever fit in a duffel bag. he has a life.

the tree glitters with all his happiness and life.

sabine learns knitting and gifts shin ugly christmas sweaters and she's so proud of them that shin doesn't dare criticize them.

hera and ahsoka thinks it's hilarious-- until sabine hands them their own ugly christmas sweaters with such a big smile that they can't say no.

jacen gets an ugly sweater as well but he just loves it so much, his older sister made his new favourite piece of clothing.

ezra thinks it's incredibly funny and wants to make fun of ahsoka and hera, but a few days later he too gets an ugly sweater and sabine is so happy that everyone just loves her ugly sweaters.

(oh, and chopper gets one as well) (sabine even makes sweaters for bo-katan and the armorer)
