#and i never knew how to approach it

[laismoura-art]

Nah, Lúcifer was an ASSHOLE this whole song and I wish Al keeps annoying the shit out of him to humble him down!

Matter of fact: Luci was an asshole in general, to Charlie and to everyone else in the hotel. He looked EVERYONE down! He looked with disgust to Al's bar and treated him like shit and let's be real:

Alastor did not deserve to be treated like that

Like, what did Al even do wrong?? (To Lúcifer I mean)

Walk with me:

Luci enters the hotel and fully ignores Alastor even though he literally RIGHT BY CHARLIE'S SIDE!

And one important thing I noticed, people usually comment on Al's murderous gaze towards Luci, but did y'all notice he only has it when no one is looking? And by the time Luci may acknowledge him, he has a much more welcoming face?

Watch the scene again and you will notice till before the song starts Alastor never let either Charlie nor Luci notice how displeased he is, take this moment for example:

When he wipes his hand Luci is not looking, but the moment he looks again :D

I think there's also one important thing people overlook about Alastor:

He takes pride in the hotel! Sure, he doesn't believe in redemption or anything of the sort, but it doesn't matter cause he's not here for it!

He is here to be the manager, he's here to make sure things happen, he's here to help and improve the place, and hell! Look at this place now compared to the pilot and tell me he didn't do a fine job!

And he is PROUD of it! Truly! Just look:

Look at him talking about the renovations, him introducing himself as the manager, him talking about his radio show and about the name he chose!

Man's PROUD! He loves this silly little project regardless of it working or not!

And... how does Luci respond?

Yeah. Not your best moment, Luci.

Now, unfortunately, I've reached the limit for pictures, but I also wanted to talk about the moment that came afterwards, the one with Charlie.

The moment everyone loves to call Al's big manipulator moment, but I personally like to call:

Al just straight up spilling facts:

Charlie says "if it wasn't for Alastor, none of this would've been possible" She's right, Al did improve the place greatly!

Then Alastor says "Charlie has a vision that I consider unique" again, true. That's literally why he came! Believing in her or not, her vision IS unique, and he made sure to point that out when they met!

Then comes the "I'm happy to fulfil her bizarre requests" truth number 3! He provided them with a working staff, a maintenance team, security (himself, lol) and even made them a TV commercial TWICE (even though he's heavily against it)!

You gotta give the man some credit, he is THE helping hand!

Meanwhile her dad couldn't even bring himself to PRETEND he was supportive.

Heck, at least Alastor is there doing something, what were you doing Mr. Angelic power??

And then we get to the song. OH BOY! The song!

I gotta say, I'm 110% team Alastor in this episode!

Hell's Greatest Dad was less about Alastor trying to one up Lúcifer and more about Lúcifer trying to sell Alastor as useless to Charlie in comparison to him.

Just notice how the song is about Lúcifer offering his power to help her with the hotel.

Luci, honey, that's not why you've been called!

Charlie NEVER said she needed help with the hotel, heck! If anything, she wanted him to see she could handle things herself! And the help she has she's got all by herself, that she convinced Vaggie and charmed Alastor into helping her, they are her wins, the hotel is her win!

And all her dad has to say is that is needs a literal angelic intervention that her "bellhop" cannot provide.

I'll rephrase: Charlie convinced one of the most powerful beings in hell to invest in her project and her dad treats it like it's no big feat.

Do you y'all realise how WRONG Luci was in all this?? To both Charlie and Al???

Al was defending himself and his position in this song, and if the way he found it was to rub in Luci's face that he earned Charlie's affection by simply BEING THERE FOR HER, then SO BE IT!

Ok, that was ENORMOUS! Hi, OP! I hope you like reading!😅💕

Ok but

The inherent classism that Lucifer had with his bellhop, busboy comments towards Al? Something a mixed man from the 1930s would have immediately been alert to. And maybe that’s why he was so pressed over Husks leash comment? Or am I over thinking it?

[cheekblush]

so it was officially my crush’s last day at work 🥲

asking this as a fellow stone with some questions about where that comes from personally. are there things you like doing or imagining on your own but don’t like in practice, or are you stone in most of your fantasies, too? for me I only respond in a stone way when I’m with someone. on my own I like and imagine plenty that I can’t enjoy so don’t really want when I’m with a partner

more the former, like 60/40 or 75/25 (most of my fantasies involve things im not comfortable with with someone else, some of them are stone-specific). there are things i like fantasizing about on my own, but when it comes to in practice i am definitely not as comfortable with it. although i have capital D fully Divested with partners i trust, it takes a LONG time for me to get there (like well over a year), its usually a once-only or extremely rare event, and i havent let anyone touch me intimately or penetrate me in about 5 years (save for my pap smears, lol). i feel like with the right person i could explore that again, but it would take a monumental amount of trust. i think my brain is conditioned to "youre disappointing someone when you say no to this specifically" and i would need a lot of support if i ended up still not liking it.

i also think a lot of it is connected to the fact that ive only recently been touched or interacted with in a way that i DO like, so my body in general is extremely unpracticed/inexperienced with connecting my pleasure to my physicality. i dont think this is a cure-all by any means, but i have a feeling that if i got to a point of trust with someone to be able to do that more often, i think my body would respond very differently than it has in the past.

It has long been argued that Monty Oum had major plot points for RWBY nailed down, and that seasons past 3 were following those road maps

I do wonder how detailed those maps were, and how large the gaps between them are (or if they even exist)

I'd also be interested if, considering the chance of the show proceeding are increasingly slim (and also I don't know if a continued rwby would be the same show), if rwby writers would be eventually willing or able to release those road maps for public viewing

one of the more morbid things about the anesidora project is that early on it just didn’t work dude . they didn’t know how to make it work or they fucked up in some major way and there’s a solid few people that just . went under and never woke up . or woke up in a body that didn’t work . i think about them a lot
