My first theatre show has happened today. I actually think we did pretty good! Especially for a show with 3 different grades and different acting levels!
#Yeah some lines were missed#Some forgotten#But its live theatre#Me and sounds missed up a bit too#Pretty expected I would say#Havent gotten a lot of experience with the light board but Im getting better!#But after the show was over everyone went crazy#I was still in the booth so what I type next is from others pov#They began screaming and playing around#Some even ran out the door straight away to play in the hallways#When we got to the classroom they even threw stuff around like the notebook props#Then Ms (theatre teachers last name) came in and yelled at us#Yelling about some parts like the missed lines and all#Then everybody ran out the classroom leaving us two behind.#End quote#then me and sounds came down and saw the mess and decided to help the other two clean up the absolute mess#The actors Im managing are dumb.

The Syd Poll
the topic of this poll is one that is frequently avoided in the pink floyd fandom, but inevitably one we all consider – our individual views on what we think caused syd's psychological struggles (and by extension, led to his departure from the band). I think that – at least in this neighborhood of tumblr – this is a conversation we are capable of having in a way that is civil, nuanced, and at least minimally disrespectful to syd.
So, to help facilitate this, here are some ground rules:
let's all assume we have a mutual understanding of the complexities of this. syd could never actually be reduced down to a poll, and all of our viewpoints are limited in various ways
the poll options just serve as just a conversation starter, and responses are not necessarily a statement of absolute beliefs
feel free to discuss as much or as little of your own perspective as you feel comfortable sharing.
in the case that debates break out, please try to assume good intent – and also demonstrate it (unless, for instance, someone is being blatantly insulting beyond a misunderstanding that needs correcting)
please do NOT vote if you are not actually a pink floyd fan with at least basic knowledge about what we're talking about here.
The options I've included below are not meant to be exhaustive, they are simply the "theories" that I have seen most commonly circulated. I have also decided not to include combinations. I'm fairly sure we'd all agree multiple factors were involved. Rather than make the poll too complicated, I ask you to instead select the one that you think is the "most" important to your viewpoint, and clarify further in your tags/comments as you wish.
so. here we go.
READ BEFORE VOTING ^^^^
(note of correction: "late-onset schizophrenia" should just be "schizophrenia". the typical timeline for onset of symptoms is late adolescence/early adulthood, so syd would've been well within that period at the time)
#pink floyd#syd barrett#//#I will sacrifice myself and go first with way too much detail. hopefully it will help other people feel more comfortable talking#I chose consensual use of psychedelics. mainly bc I am fairly certain that he suffered from severe hppd#it stands for 'hallucinogen persisting perception disorder' –speaking crudely its 'did too much acid and got stuck like that'#I do NOT expect this kind of oversharing from anyone else but the reason I think that is because -I- definitely have that#its comparatively mild but I notice a lot of the same kind of impacts.#I'm more prone to dissociation and overstimulation. it takes more mental energy to communicate. my perception plays a bit fast and loose.#(again. it's not -that- bad. and NO pity for me this was a completely predictable outcome that I DO think is a little funny) but digressing#I can clearly see how if those symptoms were significantly escalated it would be just like what was described by ppl who knew syd#I think its very unkind to refer to him as a “drug casualty”#but I'm fairly confident anyone who's done acid would say by about hour 8 of the trip “okay. yah. too much of this could do that to someone#in other words –although I'm pretty sure syd was also neurodivergent– I do think its at least possible that the lsd couldve been enough#I'm happy to talk more about any of this in asks/dms if anyone wants. genuinely very cool with discussing it#but anyway. that's my take – obviously based entirely on anecdotal evidence tho so take that with as many grains of salt as you wish

I'm like halfway through the first Ghoulfriends book and main three are so annoying. I'm hoping it's like a character flaw thing, where they'll recognize it and get better over the course of the series, but oof. Gitty did these ghouls so wrong.
They're beefing with Cleo for no reason...Venus flipped out on her out of nowhere (in the middle of class, unprovoked!!) for using paper bags and then sprayed her with hypno pollen, meanwhile Rochelle, who is in her own relationship, is hardcore flirting with her man!!! I wish the author had been more original when it came to giving them a "frenemy" there are so many options aside from Cleo! (Honestly Operetta would have been an interesting choice, but whatever)
Robecca's characterization is the most tolerable, but she's incredibly rambly, and the author decided to give her a bad sense of time for...reasons. And despite being British, she uses oddly Southern phrases while talking...its super strange. With Venus and Rochelle, I can see where her mind went with writing their characters, but Robecca honestly seems so opposite to her canon personality.
And her backstory was kinda mangled too. It's acknowledged that she was disassembled, and recently reassembled, and even that she previously lived with Mrs. Kindergrubber, but she's treated like a brand new student. No acknowledgement that it was Ghoulia who put her back together!
I understand giving the characters a fresh take, but it would have been pretty simple to integrate the actual canon. Robecca and Rochelle were introduced in the same movie, they were new to Monster High, just not new to all of the characters.
#monster high#monster high gen 1#monster high novels#ghoulfriends forever#oh and this author also describes cleo as coffee colored#can i just say that i fully expected to enjoy these#like i am kinda having fun hating on them but i bought all 4 at once lol...had i known they were so bad id have stopped at the first#and dont get me wrong i think rochelle's crush on deuce is really cute and interesting generally#but i did not expect her to be so upfront about it!#at the very least i expected her to be single lol!#every time i read robecca's dialogue its in a different accent#british australian or southern#ill probably use this post as a thread for my thoughts as i continue reading#i really thought these would be more like the Monster High Diaries books#those are so good in comparison...#text post#bad as they are i dont regret buying them#the covers are pretty and the illustrations#plus im happy to have all the gen 1 novel series

totally not what i intended to post today but also whatever, we ball. pinocchiop is my favorite vocap and i'm very autistic about both him and wxs, so, to honor the song campaign clues that we got today, allow me to present to you the reincarnation apple wxs cover line distribution i did some time ago — and why, in my humble opinion, it fits wxs much more than it fits niigo,
(the lyrics where the color changes each word are where the characters both sing at the same time but my notes app doesn't have the option to do a gradient)
i'm in no way expecting it to be an official line distribution because i did it based on my personal interpretation of the lyrics — and i feel like dedicating almost a whole big part of the song to each member might mess up with the game cut, but i also really would like to see them have solos of those parts — but they're here to help me explain my point better my point. so!
what i like about wandasho covers is that they are performers — and it should give them more creative liberty when it comes to their covers. that's why the reincarnation in this song could be simply treated as them getting into roles, reliving countless lives as actors. even though the accuracy of the lines sung is always nicely welcomed, the covers don't have to always be 100% fitting. and that's fine. especially in wxs' case, because that is a yet another story that they want to tell us.
people often say that the storyline fits niigo but i... don't see it at all? i mean, yeah, ena as the artist and kanade as the savior, that much is obvious (and i guess you could also say that mizuki as a revolutionary, but that is kind of a reach?). but what about the part describing the inventor that matches rui's backstory so well? what if you put main story tsukasa in the artist's place and draw the similiarities? what if you think about emu as the savior, comparing the savior's unconditional love to her wanting to save wonder stage and make everyone smile? the only match that doesn't fit quite well is nene and the revolutionary, but you can't have anything i guess. and then the adventurer part, which is a call back to the our happy ending set (i set out in search of an ideal — emu deciding to go with wxs in order to expand her knowledge and horizons) (and then you know, the end has come with the reincarnation apple)... and then lines like i'm not smart enough and i don't have a great cause could resonate with how people viewed emu and rui in the past.
"oh but isn't the start of the song a bit too dark and depressing for it to be a wxs cover?" kami no manimani starts in a similiar way and yet it still is a wxs cover.
and, putting lyrics aside, it just doesn't feel like a niigo song from the instrumental alone. i'm not a music expert so i don't have strong arguments for it, but for me it sounds absolutely like a wxs song. it even reminds me of sekahaji in a way.
does that mean you're in the wrong for wanting niigo to cover it? nope! i just simply want to explain why it fits. and i don't want people to complain that it doesn't make sense for it to end up as a wxs cover. because i will cry.
tldr: reincarnation as a metaphore for acting save me
#YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I ACTUALLY AM THAT IT'S WXS COVER. LIKE. GENUINELY.#i was advocating for wxs tensei ringo FOREVER and it was so hard to do in the society that believes in a niigo cover#people are still saying that it could end up as a niigo cover but like? they always tease anni covers in the unit order don't they?#besides come on you all HATED on godish. their presumable shadow shadow will sound much better than tensei ringo would pretty sure.#ri says things the tag#it's very messy i know. didn't expect to post it today and i didn't have time to prepare.#but i talked with my friend about it and went fuck it we ball. i am going to defend the cover choice with my whole heart.#wonderlands x showtime#tsukasa tenma#emu otori#nene kusanagi#rui kamishiro#project sekai#pjsk#prsk#I GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT IT THAT I FORGOT TO ADD THE ACTUAL TAGS??

Bury Your Gays
Horror
a scriptwriter in hollywood who’s getting attention & an Oscar nom after working in the industry for years, but is being pressured by algorithm-obsessed producers to kill off the queer characters in the season finale of the show he writes
and when he starts getting stalked by the monsters he wrote (based on traumas of his past) he has to figure out how to survive, along with his best friend and boyfriend
#bury your gays#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#Yeah this was good! some creepy horror. some pointed discussion of corporate greed and algorithms/replacing artists#The bit at the end that’s like suddenly Corporate Gays! Queer Is Profitable Now (But Only Happy Queers!)#made me cringe in a ‘oh god that’s so accurate’ kind of way#There’s a few brief chapters that are full production scripts (sound effects/multiple VAs) which was cool (if brief)#and the way that related to the story was really interesting.#I will say - lots of discussion of bury your gays in tv (obviously)& discussion of recent trying to replace artists/writers with ai#but I feel like it skipped over the whole Cancelling Every Show With Lesbians (especially since the characters in his show are sapphic)?#Like that's very on theme and relevant; I would have expected a mention of it if nothing else haha#his best friend is aroace and I thought was handled pretty well#there's a bit at the end that's like her invisible identity helps her save the day which is obviously pointed commentary#but also it was her tech skills that did that not her sexuality?? so it felt slightly awkward. idk. not a major criticism lol#(I guess she is the kind of character to make it into a joke about that)#also is he named misha after. you know

Why I think c!Dream is Autistic - Part 3
[Part 1] - [Part 2] - [Part 3]
Alright, you’re gonna want to probably go read part 1 and 2 first, promise they aren’t too long.
Done? Long time no see buddy. :) Good deal. Now finally, the last reason(s) I think Dream is autistic is because of how it fits narratively.
Who better to frame as the villain than someone who is already on the outside, who is already different, weird, a little off, not like everyone else, obsessive, abrasive, and already setting off subconscious red flags of not fitting the norm. There’s a quote that most have probably heard by Andrew Smith that says, “People fear what they don't understand and hate what they can't conquer.” And does that not say it all? Talk about history repeating itself, real history. This truth is the basis of many real wars. And if communicating and thinking differently weren’t enough to garner dislike, sucess and intelligence are another foundation of hate and as I said in part 1, while not true across the board, high IQ is one way they identify people with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). So who better to frame as the villain than an autistic admin infamous for being one of the best Minecraft players.
Of course, I hear you ask - couldn’t you make the same argument for sociopaths/people with ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder) are they not also different than most people to garner inherent fear? The answer is: No, not really. Contrary to popular belief, people with ASPD are not the odd balls out but are more likely to be popular and well liked as they lie and manipulate others to get what they want. In other words, there is a more calculated persona/masking in both ASD and ASPD, but while ASD is just trying to fit in, people with ASPD often have an inherent entitlement to the things they want and are trying to gain power and stand above the crowd not in it. In addition, autistic people tend to be honest, to the point of inappropriate or rude because they are straight forward. In the dsmp, Dream’s default isn’t to lie in fact he tells a lot of truth before often being forced to change his answer [clip]. Unlike people with ASPD who lie because they enjoy the power it gives them and to get what they want.
There is of course empathy to be considered when comparing ASD and ASPD as perhaps the main difference between the two and I think there is a lot of evidence that Dream does have empathy. In fact, I think his moral compass is originally one of the strongest before the dsmp slowly wore away the edges. He returns items after wars, fixes creeper holes and destroyed property, helps people mine or gather materials, fights for the side of who was wronged first, constantly gives out food to feed people… etc. He does a lot of caring things he doesn’t have too. That give him no real advantage, but often even end up putting him in a sticky situation. I mean what better example do we need to prove he has empathy than him rebuilding Tubbo’s house [post]. There was no reason or manipulation or obligation to do that, he did it because he saw that Tubbo was upset. I mean I’ve said it before that we can’t truly prove whether someone does or doesn’t has empathy, but we can look at behavior and I’d argue that his less empathetic acts come much later on his arc and are not consistent across the board like they would be if he truly were a sociopath. Leaving us with the most obvious conclusion then that his logical mind that makes him look like he’s unempathetic and his masking must be because he’s autistic instead, which again aligns well with his high intelligence and obsessive development of skill.
Finally, and perhaps most notably, while a lot of times masking is associated with ADHD it is much more notable and important for an autistic person. Because we are not masking just to cover up our stimming or hyperactivity we are putting on a different face to blend in and be accepted and loved. We are shifting the very parts of ourselves to fit in a circle shaped hole when we’re squares. Which is a skill and habit I don’t find it hard to believe that Dream would use for his villain persona, especially since our (my) masks tend to change too based on environment, whether needing to fit into the family dynamic, student culture or professional world where the social rules change. Which is exactly what we see from Dream as his mask changes depending on who he’s with whether that be Tommy, a large audience, Wilbur, his friends, The Warden, Quackity, Badboyhalo, Techno… etc.
In other words, how fitting would it be if a character with the disorder infamous for masking had a literal mask. One that he literally had to take off to discovery who he was all along. What better example of the dsmp main theme of seeing things from other peoples point of view to gain understanding, than the extreme case of that. What better picture of communication issues than a disorder infamous for social struggle. Like not only does it fit so very well with Dream’s character, not only does it make sense with the symbolism of his mask, and the narrative, but it fits the overall arching dsmp story too, because by being autistic Dream is kind of like the ultimate version of the theme and for him to be a main front runner of the story just truly drives the point home in a beautiful and important manner.
#Hope it makes sense and that my points came across like I said I’ve been pretty nervous about this but I feel pretty strongly on this#not as a head canon but as object fact because in so many ways it makes sense#dreblr#c!dream#dream smp#autistic c!dream#I don’t think it’s just me projecting but something that fit the story so very well… it makes a lot of his actions and the actions of other#finally make sense while also being a beautiful example of how we need to consider not just each others pov and motivations but ways of#thinking. too often he assume we get it and we don’t and the moment we start to hear eachother out and assume others have good intentions#the better and stronger our relationships can be…#dsmp#dsmpblr#no one does it like c!dream#did someone order an essay?#you did and I hope you read and it met your expectations:) <3#autism#dsmp headcanon#and not to being real work into it but ccdream did say in an interview that he’s probably autistic and since he was a method actor it would#make all the more sense for his c to be as well… after all how can be create a character who thinks a different way?…#And if Dream is autistic damn what kinda of picture does that paint of the rest of the server… just saying… ;)

The 3rd DRB being a movie and by consequence screwing over the international fanbase is super disappointing. I feel like everything rides on BAT's drama track now. If Kuko doesn't get any kind of lore or development I might honestly be done with HypMic. I'll still like Kuko and BAT and stream the music but I won't buy anymore merch, I won't renew my hypster membership, and I'll just be apathetic about further development. Like my expectations are so low I'm already dreading another drama track coming and going with no plot progressions. I have so little faith in KR now, its so depressing.
i’ll share this think piece bc i agree with it and i feel like you might as well lol (it’s in jp but just run it thru a translator lol)
but it’s been a very long time hasn’t it lol?? bat’s 5th year anniversary is coming up and we’ve watched them basically have the same beat as dh; a very close knit story that deals with their bonds outside of plot, except since dh has rei, it felt like it was just a matter of time before dh were integrated into the plot and tragically bat doesn’t have that cushion lol
but i’ve seen jp dh fans gripe about the exact same things we are, desperately hoping the trio wasn’t about to be another track where they’re just drinking the night away and lo and behold, not only are rosasa aware of all that rei and chuuoku have done, the track went out of its way to show them not drinking their lack of development/integration away lmao
so i do believe that kr knows nagosaka fans are tired and i think they’ll give bat fans what they want too finally 😭😭😭 esp since they blatantly gave us a bat chuuoku parallel with the drama track titles (so there is a chance we will have to have chuuoku’s track for further context, as annoying it would be that bat can’t have their own thing in their own track lmao)
and yeah if the 3rd drb is deadass the movie way to shut out the intl fans lmao but i do think they have other plans in store for something else
#vee got an ask#long form storytelling is difficult to balance and difficult to wait on lol so i give a lot of leeway for stuff like this#and it’s probably a good thing bat’s personalities are so engaging idk if they would be as liked if they hadn’t been 😭😭😭#i’m………… cautiously hopeful lol#bc i can see this track further developing bat’s bonds and like yay!!!!#but it’s still a little unfair that the other divisions can bond bc of the plot but bat can’t lol#it’s also why i am very worried of the bb bat parallels in the way plot moves around them#so i choose to believe in the obvious bat chuuoku parallel that we’ve kinda never gotten before#outside of chuuoku pink accents kuukou and jyushi share lol#like they know they’ve created an enigma in kuukou and they have to know show don’t tell storytelling can only go so far#it’s part of the reason fp is so popular lmao#so i’m like 75% this is kuukou’s time in the spotlight lol it was at like 85% up until the preview#but i think terminus being what it is and hayama-san saying this is kuukou’s time to bloom and the expectations ik kr knows we have#is pretty much saying that’s on lock lol

Wip - fairy wings portion
First wing done. Buttonhole stitch was a meeeeessss most of the way through 😭 after doing the other wings I did cave and redo the worst of it
Much better on the first long wing. Bc I’m using mouliné floss I don’t love how the backstitch doesn’t lie very flat without pulling tight, which would then probably overstretch the organza
So for the large wing I did Holbein stitch instead, which kind of turned into semi-split Holbein, where I make sure I pierce through the previous thread when going up or down into a previous stitch. That seemed to make for a straighter line, too. Idk if it’s just this thread and fabric combo but doing regular backstitch makes the stitches seem a little wobbly even though I’m going through the exact same hole
A couple days later I finished stitching the wings For the second small wing I used I think a size 3 needle for at least the buttonhole edging, which turned out nice. Not very tenable though bc I can barely fit even a single strand of the mouline through the eye without that tail end frazzling quickly
Was p nervous about removing the stabilizer since this fabric is so delicate. No problems from the outside, but the inside was trickier. I did a bunch of stuff to try to make it come out easier than it did on the small wing up top in this pic…
I took a sewing needle and gently poked along the stitch lines just to get through the stabilizer but not the fabric. Then I used that needle near the edging to start a tear and switched to tweezers to carefully pull it away. But I also used cuticle / hangnail clippers to cut away along the inner stitching so that I wouldn’t be yanking on those. Took a bit, and I think there are still tiny bits of stabilizer stuck between the buttonhole but it’s not noticeable enough for me to care after working on this for like 5 hours straight today
I cut out the short wings but I’m so nervous that the organza is going to break off, so I painted the raw edges with clear nail polish lol. For the big wings, I put some fabric glue on the back side all along where I’ll be cutting so that hopefully that will keep the fabric from fraying once I cut it. I’m leaving that for tomorrow bc by that point it had been 6 hours of working on it and obvi the glue needs to set
After that it’ll be pompom cutting, shaping, and “dyeing” and then assembly :x
#wip#embroidery#real pepper crafting hours#it’s always so funny saying ‘oh all that’s left is a few more steps’ which each end up taking Way longer than expected…#before I tore away the stabilizer I was considering doing this again on a smaller scale to make lil fairy earrings but now I’m not so sure#I prolly wouldn’t bother with veins or anything just making a pretty cutaway#maybe cotton floss would be easier to work with. but then there’s no sparkle :/#hmmm hang on maybe I could crochet with some white sparkle crochet thread and use the mouline along the outside…

A few people in the tags on my Agatha romance plot line poll are voicing the same sorts of thoughts I had. I did not like her romance plot line because she had all these lines in the two previous books that, to me and many others, were implying her aromanticism. To have a chapter from her POV where she expresses feeling broken due to a suspected inability to feel that type of attraction only to later have this “resolved” by her finding the right person was extremely frustrating and disappointing.
Even beyond an aro reading of the character, it’s disappointing to see her coupled up at the end of the third book. So much of the first book was about subverting the expectations that come from these types of stories. One of these expectations seemed to me to be not just that the chosen one gets the perfect girl, but that all the characters are neatly coupled up by the end and have romance as a part of their story. In the first book not only is Agatha not with Simon, the chosen one, her supposed destiny, she’s not interested in coupling up and fulfilling that expectation placed on her by the world in which she lives and by the type of story she inhabits, at all. It feels like backtracking on her character growth to watch a romance play out for her in the third book.
#this is made worse to me that Penny also has a romance plot line in the final book#so we’ve gone from book one where some characters couple up#one starts and ends in a relationship that isn’t important to the story or her personal character arc#and one chooses to run off on her own#to book three where all main characters have romance arcs#not my favorite! when I loved the way the first book handled romance plot lines so much#I do think there is an argument to be made that ignoring an aromantic reading#agatha ending up with a woman does not necessarily walk back character traits and development from carry on#because she’s running away from a heteronormative world#but is too trapped within those expectations to yet realize#she may experience attraction to women instead#but 1. when she talks about wishing she had a crush on a girl because it would explain things about her#that feels pretty clearly aromantic to me#and 2. I HATE when a character feels like something is wrong with them because they aren’t falling in love#and the resolution to that conflict is them falling in love#makes my aromantic heart very angry#I don’t say any of this as a dig at people who did enjoy it . Just my thoughts on the matter#Simon says#agatha wellbelove#fine tooth comb

Denchuuuu denchu denchu. I think they're the cutest I wanna know more :] Sending you 1, 2, 8 and 21 for funsies from the pride prompts ^^
1. What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?
Denchu is genderfluid and uses any pronouns (he/she/they/and more?).
2. What's your oc's orientation? (Romantic/sexual/platonic alterous ect) Do they have opinions about it?
I'm not sure if this has a label but Denchu is attracted to masc-presenting people. any gender
8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons?
I think he definitely tends to downplay how he feels about being genderfluid because he's used to presenting as Girl and it's "easier" to present as Girl. They probably experience the feeling of "I go by any pronouns" and proceeding to only be referred to be she/her and then get frustrated later. Maybe there was a period of time where she didn't want to use she/her at all and ultimately circled back into including it because she still liked being Girl
21. Free ramble card wee
I would not be surprised if Denchu started figuring their stuff out after Kanu confides to them about being a trans guy, inspiring them to figure out their own stuff (says this as if they're not my characters and they're out doing things of their own free will)
#asks#denchu#splatoon#splatoon ocs#my ocs#the logistics of 'is there gender expecations and such in splatoon' when I feel like the world of splatoon would be pretty forgiving#but then again. I have not given it much thought#and ultimately I'm not like. super interested in exploring 'is society transphobic and do they have hangups about it'#although the elite soldiers being mostly female is like. does octarian society give status to them due to that. hmmmm#at the end of the day I feel like splatoon doesnt really care. just fuck it we ball. maybe thats the easy way out#Idk maybe I should have expected this going into oc pride asks it would be boring to just say yeah. theyre this. no real reason#ANYWAYS enough complaining from me. thank you for asking about denchu :3#also realizing that these asks are more conductive if I take them as opportunities to develop the character rather than go#well ummm. I didnt think about it so I don't have an answer for you

idk if it means anything really, but i think it's interesting how after all their time together as a couple in a christianity-adjacent world, lucifer and lilith only had one (1) child, and it was only 200 years ago at that
#for a show based on a religion notorious for the expectation put on women to become mothers (especially at a young age)#(and in certain extreme cases the only real role of a woman being essentially that of a breeding tool/incubator)#it's a neat detail (though quite likely unintentional) that the Ultimate 1 Most Horrible Sinner Couple betrayed heaven's rules#then went on to have a long (happy? generally successful?) relationship without needing/rushing to have children#presumably satisfied with one another rather than feeling obligated to make themselves “useful”#I feel it really highlights exactly the sort of differences that came of lilith choosing lucifer over adam#like no wonder amirite.#freedom for lilith was as small and inherent a thing as bodily autonomy (👀); as getting to have a relationship where she can be loved for#who she is instead of what services she can provide#the show obviously mentions this a lot in other ways but to me a main example of this is the childlessness in their marriage#again idk if it means much but i haven't seen this talked about much i know this specifically is not talked about in the show either#but it's a pretty obvious deviation from what christianity teaches women and what lilith would have especially known to be her role at the#beginning of humanity where they needed to do a lot of ~populating~#even nowadays the expectation for women to become wifes and be subservient to their husbands & the role of sex being purely reproductive#all that time but only 1 kid & so late too just goes to show how absent those roles + rules + expectations were once lilith rejected adam#(and therefore heaven)#which. the detail itself can be interpreted in different ways as can the reaction to this particular interpretation. but personally i'm just#happy for her that she (perhaps/presumably/temporarily) got to experience a loving relationship based on mutual respect and equality etc.#so like good for her#this doesnt really have a point i just thought it was a cool detail#rant post#shitpost#kind of#hazbin hotel#lucilith#i am not trying to generalize christianity itself here btw#and when i say extreme cases i do mean *extreme* as i know it's not reflective of the religion as a whole or it's principles#but in the hellaverse specifically it does seem like those teachings and mentalities and heavily unequal gender roles *were* meant to exist#so the specific lack of their fulfillment with lucilith seems important
