claudia BEYOND justifiably hating lestat and louis and dying hating them because they didn’t see her as a person with her own agency and treated her like a child at best and a toy at worst and both are ultimately to blame for her suffering BUT louis and lestat both genuinely loving her (in their own fucked up and deeply inadequate ways) and seeing her as their daughter and being irreparably traumatized by her death and their culpability in her suffering and the knowledge that she died hating them and it’s their fault and they can never make it right ever

when people respond to trans women who have something to say about what they've experienced or witnessed as a trans woman with "haha what do any of these words mean. anyone in this thread smoke weed. none of these words are in the Bible. wow sometimes I stumble across a corner of the internet I never thought possible. op go touch grass" it is 100% coming from a position of privilege rather than whatever holier than thou high IQ normalperson stance they think it is. you haven't seen this shit before because you have the privilege to not be targeted by lolcow forums or called a paraphile for being into bdsm. trans women, women of color, autists & schizos etc--especially if many of these intersect--often don't have the luxury to be ignorant to transmisogyny and racism and ableism, or to not be targeted by neonazis for simply having a blog, their ""neet status"" is irrelevant to these things actually. this shit isn't exclusively online for them! many irl queer groups end up dominated by privileged white transmisogynists maybe because that's the status fucking quo. maybe be fucking nice for once and listen to things women have to say. the amount of meanspirited replies I've seen towards women talking about shit they've personally experienced recently is grating. it costs nothing to be nice and mind your own business. you don't have to act like underprivileged groups are hysterical psychotic freaks who care too much.

Everyone loves to bitch to the bartender in other languages. Unfortunately/Fortunately for them their bartender understands them. Vaggie was just talking to herself in Spanish, when Husk responded she almost hit the roof.

Angel continues to try and say the filthiest things in Italian to get a reaction. Husk just responds in any language but English or Italian. Sometimes it sounds like he's flirting back?

Charlie keeps trying to get him to teach classes, he refuses, but he does offer to teach her a few phrases here and there, mostly Spanish to impress Vaggie.

Hazbin Hotel is actually healing my inner ex-Christian so hard.

No joke, I nearly started cheering when Lute called Charlie and Vaggie’s love “vile and blasphemous” (and then burst out laughing when Adam immediately followed it up with “Hot as fuck though”). I know that may sound weird considering that I am, in fact, a lesbian, but here me out:

Seeing Christians being explicitly homophobic onscreen? It validates me. It makes me think “Oh yeah, I’m not crazy, Christians are that hateful!” And, call me crazy, but I think homophobia being tied in with villainy is a good thing. Neither Adam or Lute are supposed to be good people; they are very obviously the villain, and that establishes their behavior as bad. Someone on Twitter said that Lute gave them religious fanatic vibes and I couldn’t agree more.

And here’s the thing, too: it’s explicit homophobia, not some dumb metaphor. There’s no way to take it as anything else. And I really need that. I need to see Christians being explicitly homophobic onscreen in the same way that other people need and create worlds where homophobia doesn’t exist.

But me? I want my pain and suffering acknowledged. I want the harm that Christianity does acknowledged. Homophobia is real and the religious kind doubly so. I related to Vaggie so much in that episode; I felt her trepidation about going back to Heaven. Felt like a good metaphor for escaping a fundamentalist church only to be forced to visit again.

And Viv is not afraid to explicitly point this out and criticize them. Like, yes! Say it! They are hypocrites! They don’t care about people being better, they only care about punishment! They maimed one of their own and left her to die because she spared a child! They’re homophobic freaks! They would never see the good that Angel does and how he’s improved and is wonderful, they only see that he’s a drug addict and a sex worker and think he’s worthless for that even though Jesus broke bread with sex workers and people considered the dregs of society. (And of course Angel is gay on top of that.)

And another thing: not only did the Adam line make me laugh, but the second homophobic Lute line about “he blew his shot like the cocks in his mouth” cracked me up too. It reminded me of the pilot where Katie Killjoy said “I don’t touch the gays” to Charlie, which is a line that made me laugh for 4+ years straight. When I told my brother that was the funniest homophobia I’d ever heard in media, he very wisely said, “All homophobia is funny if you think about it.” And you know what? He’s right. It is funny, because it’s so fundamentally goddamn stupid, so let’s give characters ridiculous lines so everyone can laugh at how idiotic they and their beliefs sound.

I need to say things I cannot publicly say on here.

"I grew up Catholic...and I'm not a very good one anymore" 🤣 my lapsed Catholic self can relate to him sm haha

It's also funny seeing him realize in real time how many times he's played a priest 💀

Nick Nelson's Reluctant Yeah

It's well established that Charlie uses a blanket "it's fine" during many interactions in order to downplay troubling moments, mollify and comfort others, or conceal inner turmoil.

Nick, on the other hand, does the reluctant "yeah."

---

To confirm something he doesn't like, even if he's the one saying it.

To get a negative interaction to stop.

To try to convince himself (or Charlie) of something he doesn't believe.

To appease the crowd, even when he doesn't want to.

To make someone else happy, even if it's detrimental to him.

To agree, despite no real inner resolution.

To reassure, even when he's not okay.

To disguise his real stressors (and avoid stressing others).

To mask his regret.

Nick is a people pleaser, and this is how he does it when, deep down, he doesn't feel comfortable or in total agreement with the situation. Thankfully, we see a little less of this in S2 than S1. Let's hope for even less in S3. You can do it Nick!

Bonus: Nick's Genuine Yeah (most often present in Charlie's vicinity)

These are better 💕

“Charlie and Vaggie’s duet is worthless, since it’s a recycled melody from Charlie and Lucifer’s song”

Almost like… that’s the point. It’s a parallel to show who the most important people in Charlie’s life are. They’re even animated similarly on purpose. 😭
