THEORY: ROSIE IS CHARLIE’S REAL MOM (pls hmo)

SPOILERS FOR HH S2 LEAKS UNDER THE CUT!!

Okay, first let’s establish who Roo is.

Roo is the “root of all evil,” who is said to make an appearance far later in the series. Very little is known about her, but personally, I believe that she could be Eve.

Reasons:

- Adam is in Heaven, Eve is missing, despite both of them eating the fruit of knowledge. Eve is shown to have eaten it first, which set free all sin (this thing), which was contained in the fruit.

- Eating the apple first could have caused evil to possess Eve, turning her into Roo.

- In an interview, Vivziepop said that season 3 (or 4 I can’t remember) would delve more into family, which I think could mean a lot if we are going with the theory of Roo being Charlie’s real mother and with Lilith being away.

But why do I think Roo is Charlie’s real mother? Let’s look at the physical similarities:

- Both Charlie and Roo have red eyes with those little black slits

- Both have the puppy dog nose. Neither Lucifer nor Lilith have this.

- Charlie’s hand is able to turn into a giant claw, which Roo has.

Lucifer also made a comment to Adam about sleeping with Eve. I don’t think Lucifer would cheat on Lilith. If Lilith was infertile, Eve/Roo could have served as a surrogate mother.

Okay, so if Roo is supposedly Charlie’s real mom, why would Rosie be Roo? More importantly, if she is Rosie,what does she want to do with Alastor?

Based on the leaks, we now know that Rosie actually owns Alastor’s soul. So why do I still think Roo does?

(To clarify, I am not gonna leave clips for proof just out of respect for the team behind the show, but if you want to see what I’m talking about the leaks are not hard to find if you dig hard enough)

Firstly, Roo seems to act as a very ominous and mysterious figure, known to be dangerous and kinda acts as an urban legend in Hell. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for her to go undercover to keep her whereabouts and actions secret. In this case, disguising herself as the mayor of Cannibal Town. Second, there is a lot of eyeball imagery in regards to Roo and throughout the show. For example, the deal that was made between Rosie and Alastor was that Alastor would gain a large amount of power in exchange for something. We know that a majority of his power comes from his staff, which, you guessed it, has an eyeball on it. If we go with the idea that Rosie created this for him, we can associate it with Roo’s magic. Also, both in the hotel and in Alastor’s radio tower, there are eyeballs. Is Roo watching them?

Additionally, these last few may be a stretch, but notice how both Rosie and Roo have a big hat? Share a first letter in their name? Roo is depicted with chains, and Rosie is known to give out services in exchange for favors. Is it possible that she owns other souls? Rosie seems for some reason a lot more powerful compared to other Overlords, not to mention she is implied to be one of the few hellborn overlords.

Alright, last thing. If Roo is Rosie and Roo is Charlie’s real mom, what was the deal she made with Alastor?

Well, I believe that Roo could be jealous of Lilith and wants Charlie. It could possibly explain Lilith’s absence, who maybe made a deal with Roo? I’m still unsure of Lilith’s case on why she’s in Heaven, but Charlie and Lucifer I have a better idea of.

When meeting Charlie, Rosie acts very motherly towards her. You could blow this off as her being kind hearted, but given the evidence, I think it says so much more. In the leaks, Alastor tells Rosie he quit working at the hotel after “playing nice” because she promised him power, claiming “they really weren’t getting any closer to—“ before getting cut off by Rosie saying that quitting wasn’t his decision. Getting closer to what? Why does Rosie want Alastor at the hotel so badly? I always thought that Alastor just randomly showing up to the hotel for “entertainment” was kinda dumb. Maybe, he could be trying to get a hold of Charlie to bring to Rosie. It would explain his weird hostility towards Lucifer. Possibly frustration over his loss of control over Charlie since he had built up a trust? Maybe as part of the deal, Roo wanted some sort of revenge on Lucifer. It gets a little messy and it’s hard for me to put into words, but it makes much more sense in my head.

That’s basically it.

TL;DR: Eve is Roo, Roo is Rosie in disguise, Alastor made a deal with Rosie in exchange for power that involves gaining Charlie’s trust and bringing her back to her real mother and tearing the Morningstars apart as some sort of revenge.

- “HELLO????”

I agree with most of this, tho the OP's Charlie part was just not it.

Definately can see how it's kinda tiresome that she really does force everyone to go with *her* idea, but I don't think she's spoiled. I just think she truly believes that EVERYONE can be redeemed if they try hard enough. Tho I don't personally agree with this because, as OP said, Hell is in fact NOT full of only "suicides" and "sad overdoses" there are genuinelly foul souls there that fell FOR A REASON, BUT I think, and one of the VAs confirmed this idea thus I assume its the narrative, Charlie believes she can make anyone a good person by hard work and practice, so that they "redeem" for their sins indeed.

I do agree that it's annoying how only Valentino was the 'true' bad guy considering half of the crew there actually was bad (they are sinners after all), it was just kinda covered up with shit of 'excuses' to make up for it (as is often done in any show). I'm guessing Valentino was the intro for the Evil Vees we will see in S2, so we'll prolly get to see Vox being more evil too. They are supposed to be the 'bad guys' after all (which is hard in Hell lol so that's prolly why they made everyone else a little 'less bad').

As for elderly-young, I'm halfway there. Like sure the narrative is cliché I see it, but you must admit having someone like Adam and likewise dickhead angels up just because he's 'the first man' and people like Husk who is prolly in Hell due to suicide down..smells like nepotism a bit no? 🤏 also the whole deal with Heavens gov having NO CLUE that THIER men were doing literal genocide for YEARS in Hell because they considered it their idea of "moral"? And to excuse it with 'well no one has to know the rules! It's uhhh God's plan!' Pls be serious... In that situation, the 'elderly' didn't come off very clever honestly.

I also agree that more responsibility needs to be put on Lucifer as a character, I feel like ppl often forget his sins due to him being goofy. However his character is also a great example of the possibility of redemption. If Lucifer, LITERAL FATHER OF SIN, is able to feel bad and try very hard to do better, recognizes his wrongdoings and is actively supporting the idea of trying to redeem a sin, there's hope for everybody! Literally. I truly think that was the whole point of the show.

Honestly I assume we'll get much more stuff cleared up after next seasons coming. I am very curious about Lillith. Lowkey hope they don't actually make her into a bitch lol I like her 🥹 pls Viv

Can you talk about what you didn't like about hazbin? Am just curious, I didn't like the show that much either.

My main issues were the everything that brought up in episode was resolved in the same episode, the constant adding of characters, the fast pace of the first couple episodes (it got bit better done later on but still fast tho), unrealistic stuff like highly trained heaven amry v.s. a brunch of sinners that probably has no war experience. I think when we put it like that, we all know who gonna win.

Ejem ejem *Pull out a long list*

What I didn't like in the series is how Charlie is always trying to shove his ideals down the throat of anyone he comes across. He wants to redeem a bunch of human trash with no proof that it will work, he thinks about the sinners but doesn't think about how his victims who are in heaven will feel, or he doesn't think about the suffering of the hellborns. His people are the hellborns, not the sinners. If you want to help than help them, the Imps, hellborns, etc. Not the fucking sinners.

So I feel more than Charlie's ideal is a thing of wanting to feel morally superior. Since I feel like the typical spoiled rich girl who thinks she can talk and tell others how to live their lives.

The other thing I didn't like, at least for me, is the Chaggie. It feels like a cardboard couple.

Since what Vaggie feels is a BLIND devotion to Charlie due to her meeting her at a low point. And because of that his mind kind of catalogs her as a savior (there is an experiment about this where people have to cross a rickety bridge and get to the person at the end of the bridge).

What I also don't like is how they soften a lot of things about the sinners (but the Angel Dust and Valentino chapter is my favorite, they talk about abuse very well) as they somehow have to make the viewer empathize with some character.

What I also didn't like is that they make heaven look like the bad guy for not letting SINNERS into heaven. But sorry dear, those bastards had TWO chances to change and if they didn't take it it's their fault (when they were in life and purgatory/limbo).

I also don't like the typical bullshit that the young are right and the adults are wrong. I would believe you if the setting takes place on Earth or some fantasy place, But we are talking about HEAVEN and HELL.

And, like you, I don't like the supposedly highly trained army of heaven falling to puny sinners either.

And I also don't like how they make Lucifer as the victim of everything. You idiot, you ruined and doomed humanity, you took Adam's second wife away from him despite having Lilith, you sneered about it to Adam's face, you had Eve and Adam kicked out of Eden and forced to perish on Earth while you and Lilith had your asses squashed on your thrones inside a fucking castle.

And to top it all off, at the end of the season they sing. As if they hadn't killed the damned FATHER OF HUMANITY.

I hate this whole rending thing, if it were on Earth or in purgatory/Limbo I would let it go, but we are talking about the fucking HELL, HELL, where rapists, pedophiles, abusers, thieves, genocidal, homicidal, zoophiles, and a long etcetera go. We are not talking about light sins for which they go to Limbo for judgment, we are talking about hell where SERIOUS sins are, but that seems to be forgotten by most.

I have more, but it would be long enough.

[qqueenofhades]

did you watch lucifer season six and what are your thoughts pls and ty

Ahaha. Yes. Yes I did watch it. Then I cried for a literal hour and attempted to compose myself, only to start crying again when I lay down and kept on thinking about it. Then I had more feelings. Then I slept like the dead due to emotional trauma. Then I reblogged gifsets and had More feelings. Then @buffaluff and @flynnanimal watched it and also required emotional support due to drowning in their own tears. So, uh... we're all fine here now. How are you?

My main takeaway from the final season was the sheer amount of love for the characters, story, and fans that you could feel shining through all the episodes, and which made SUCH a refreshing change. I had feelings in my tags the other day about how a show about the devil was constantly goofy, hopeful, loving, and uplifting, rather than all the grimdark nonsense they could have easily done with it. (As I said, just imagine it as written by the GOT idiots?? NO THANK YOU.) The writing really loved everyone and wanted to give them a proper ending and emotional journey, and it wanted to show the fans that they weren't stupid for having invested six seasons of effort and emotion into this, and just... that is so much rarer than it should be? Compare all the movies and TV shows that treat their fans like the enemy, that want to outsmart them at all costs even if it means changing major plot elements, that ferociously guard spoilers and think that "shock value" means good writing, by throwing hackneyed cliche upon cliche and making everything Depressing, and just... Lucifer had its hiccups and slow points and missteps, of course, but I am SO glad they didn't do that. The entire show consisted of Lucifer slowly but steadily progressing toward being a better man, despite mistakes and setbacks and sometimes a little too much will-they-won't-they. (Season 3 was the only one where I got bored and skipped over the filler episodes with Pierce/Lucifer/Chloe in order to get to the end).

That is an essentially simple premise, but they stuck to it, and they didn't try to create more drama by randomly wrecking what they had already established. I wrote a fic all the way back in mid-season 2 (In Nomine Patris) that ended up predicting quite a few of the future characters who had not yet appeared on the show at that time, including Eve, Michael, and Azrael, and several plot points, including the very major one of Lucifer returning to hell for the sake of his daughter with Chloe. And while this might mean that I am just that good at guessing TV shows (I would like to think this....) it also means that the writers set expectations, followed through on those expectations, and didn't suddenly derail everything or turn it totally on its head just for the sake of cheap shocks. As we can all attest, they certainly caused PLENTY of drama, anguish, pain, and suffering, but they did it in a way that remained faithful to the overall premises of the story and the characters, and wanted to see them become the best versions of themselves. I cried my eyes out at the end and then thought, "hey, I might want to watch the whole series again," which, if you ask me, is the mark of doing your job right. There have been so few TV endings recently where I didn't immediately swear off the whole thing or have to pretend that canon didn't exist, so yeah.

As I said, it was just refreshing to watch something that had that essential deep generosity at its core, where the message is that everyone is worthy of love if they make the hard and painful effort to change and become better, and that even if earthly things feel small next to all this messy celestial drama, they still matter, and that you are loved no matter what. I loved that Amenadiel became God and Lucifer returned to hell as a choice in order to help all the trapped souls be able to work through their guilt and go to heaven. There were obviously certain echoes of The Good Place in that ending; I don't know if it was something they had planned all along or if the success of TGP, another series asking deep questions about life, death, morality, and human nature within the framework of a goofy heaven-and-hell sitcom, influenced it, but either way, it worked so well. Even if it tore my heart out and stomped on it on the ground, it was fitting and oh so lovely to see Lucifer, once the most selfish being in the entire universe, following in Linda's footsteps and becoming selflessly dedicated to helping other people. Just. Chef's kiss.

And of course, Deckerstar. The Hades and Persephone vibes were IMMACULATE this season, and while it did take Lucifer and Chloe the best part of four seasons to get together, they never significantly backslid, never had third-party issues or cheap cheating storylines once they were officially a couple, and Tom Ellis and Lauren German REALLY killed it this season in particular. It was never easy for them and sometimes the drama went on a little too long over the course of said six seasons, but the love story was beautiful and incredibly meaningful and always true to the fact that the actors and characters and writers (not to mention the fans) all loved it so much. They were so much the emotional heart of this, and when they went to hell together in episode 6x03 (where they turned into cartoons because wHAT even IS this show), Joe Henderson said in an interview that this was to give the fans a view into Lucifer and Chloe's future (after) lives post-6x10, and to offer them a basis to write fanfiction. I mean... the showrunner saying to the fans "here, we love you, have something to write fic about!" is likewise pretty shockingly rare. It's again an example of how this show always audaciously poked fun at itself, never took itself TOO seriously, and was always welcoming its fans and the people who loved it to do so, rather than making them feel stupid or taking joy in wrecking beloved characters or plots.

Obviously, I loved Rory, the badass lesbian half-angel goth Deckerstar child straight out of My Immortal (seriously, she was SO edgy, it was amazing), because of the fact that Lucifer's entire arc was always about feeling abandoned by his father and that he was going to have to face it for himself. Dorky Devil Dad Lucifer trying his absolute HARDEST to bond with his daughter was simultaneously hilarious, adorable, and heart-wrenching, and yet again, the Growth. We all remember when he could barely tolerate Trixie touching him, and now we're here. Also, any variation whatsoever of "this is just a brief moment of time that we must be apart, love is eternal and stronger than death and we will never really leave each other" as a line is guaranteed to make me bawl my eyes out. So that was fun.

I got a big kick out of Ghost Dan running around and trying to get everyone to see him, and had feelings about seeing him in heaven with Charlotte and his beloved Pudding Pops at the end. I had feelings about how they handled Ella finding out the truth (or rather demanding to know why nobody had told her) and of course, I obviously loved Maze and Eve and their goth/femme wedding and the fact that they got a good three-season romantic arc (indeed, I wanted more of them). My god, Trixie is SO BIG, she used to be a tiny little nugget. I love that Linda was the moral and emotional rock all along, from the first episode to the very last, and that Amenadiel was Deeply Vindicated when Charlie's wings appeared at his first birthday party. I love how Lucifer in s6 is absolute thousands of light years from Lucifer in s1. And as ever, Chloe was Perfect. I am happy that I spent six seasons with these characters and saw them become better, and that I was never made to feel like an idiot for trusting the writers to end everything in a beautiful and emotional way. Because, well. They did. Sure, maybe I could go back and pick at a plotline here or a detail there, but I don't terribly feel the need to do so? It might not have been perfect, but it was perfect, and I am so grateful that it existed.

[anarchyforcanon]

Forever drinking my ‘all sam parallels are also lucifer parallels’ juice PLS tell us abt jesus!lucifer

mwahaha okay okay (just understand that this all makes sense in my head so i hope it does for yours as well)

So this also falls into my vague "reincarnation" hc as well, that someone doesn't have to die for Chuck to reuse a character mold, for example: Michael/Lucifer=Cain/Abel=Dean/Sam

Lucifer has two falls, when he was first kicked out of Heaven to Earth after he created sin in the Garden of Eden and created demons, and the second time where he was kicked from both Heaven and Earth into Hell for striking a full rebellion against Heaven. Lucifer created the first few demons, Lilith and Cain, before he fell for the first time. This goes slightly off canon, where Lucifer doesn't give the Mark to Cain until later, right before his second fall.

Remember when Anna threw herself from Heaven and was reborn as a human? Yea.. exactly what happened with Lucifer when he was kicked from Heaven to Earth, where he was born from Mary (Sam parallels.) smth smth about mary being the prequel (?) bloodline to the winchesters/campbells. At this point, Chuck has hidden himself inside Heaven and is giving no orders, so the (arch)angels are unsure of what the new energy on Earth is about and if it's a new project from God. They believe Lucifer to be hiding out on Earth, embarrassed from his fall and waiting for forgiveness from God, if that's to ever come.

This follows with the known story of Gabriel coming to Earth to tell Mary of her pregnancy, but instead of a celebration, it's a warning as the heavenly host is unsure of what to expect from the birth but they do not want to kill the child in case it is a gift from God (Sam and Jack parallels.) There is something dark coming from her womb as Lucifer still possesses the Mark of Cain.

When he is born, his human life roughly parallels the beginning of his angelic life. He believes himself to be the child of God as he truly is, but he doesn't know how true it is. Lucifer has a small amount of access and control of his grace, which allows him to turn water to wine, walk across water, yknow. It follows into the normal Jesus stories, except Lucifer is slowly falling deeper into the indoctrination of the Mark.

This is only a vague thought right now, but something about Jesus!Lucifer accidently relearning how to twist human souls on Earth into demons.

This leads up to where he was sacrificed on the cross. It's symbolic, as he created the human idea of sin and now he's dying for it. When Death comes for Jesus/Lucifer, he knew immediately that this was not a soul for him to take. Death had become well acquainted with Lucifer long before s5. Again, in parallel to Sam, Death returns Lucifer his memories along with the full access to his grace, leading to his resurrection.

All this is only rough thoughts but there's something so yummy about the believed human savior to also be the boogeyman as well. And just the crisp symbolism of both the past and future that's possible. You also have the addition of when the Archangels find out that Lucifer was Jesus, they lie to the rest of the Host about it. This is why Castiel believes Jesus to be "just be a man."

Chuck copying a lot of the details from Lucifer’s human run on Earth into Sam’s story. From Sam falling into indoctrination (Mark of Cain/demon blood parallel,) Sam “dying” for humanity and being resurrected from the Cage (Lucifer dying on the cross and being resurrected by Death,) and other teensy tiny things. Chuck is unoriginal when it comes to writing his stories, as he believes them not to be copies but new drafts that he can test out. As you know, his creations are just toys for his amusement.

last line meme

so I got tagged by @theherocomplex, who did more than just a line, and then had to double dare me with this whole “@faejilly ALL OF IT, ALL THE LINES” SO HAVE SOME LINES

this is, oddly enough, not from any of the more active WIPs, i am for you or the Big Bang fic or the weird procedural-ish-thing I just started, but yesterday I popped into the priest!kink thing I started awhile ago (which tends towards theological musing more than smut despite my best efforts) and suddenly wrote in that? IDEK guys. Brains are weird. 

It begins with a prayer.

It's an especially bright one, sharp and powerful in its desperation. It has the weight of Angel-blood behind it, making it louder, making it sing.

It's been a long time since Magnus heard a Nephilim pray.

Most of them don't know how, not really.

The few that might aren't willing to take the risk.

True prayer, the kind that Angels and Demons can hear, the kind that supposedly goes all the way up to God, down to Lucifer, requires the sort of submission the Nephilim are too arrogant to attempt. You have to give yourself up entirely to your question, open yourself up entirely for the answer.

Which means you're vulnerable to whomever, whatever, decides to respond. Very few people can hold tight enough to their own soul when the world comes calling, and true attempts at prayer end in possession more often than not. Not always by Demons, there are all sorts of spirits in the world, but he's never heard of someone actually being answered by an Angel.

Angels seem like dicks. Magnus wonders, sometimes, if his father is as much of an asshole as he is because he's a Fallen Angel, or despite it. Wonders if the Shadowhunters were doomed to be as self-righteous as they are because of the influence of their Angel blood, or their human souls.

He doubts he'll ever get an answer.

I legit have no idea who’s writing atm and who would like to be called out on, so IF YOU WANT, PLS BLAME ME. No pressure example tags? I guess: @glorious-spoon @antivanruffles @codenamecynic @rubyvroom @evilsapphyre

origami grasshoppers update

oh boy i almost forgot to tell the whole story behind this omg

so here’s the thing: my fav uni professor always uses grasshoppers as an example of non-human behavior etc (bc you can argue that dogs might have consciousness and grieve and stuff, but grasshoppers are really just grasshoppers, they don’t do moral or rationality etc.)

but that doesn’t change the fact that a grasshopper is oddly specific you know? and also it’s just really funny to hear him talk about either humans or grasshoppers and how you are not gonna ask a grasshopper why it jumped on the table and stuff

anyways

me and a bunch of friends decided to thank him for his inspiring and interesting lectures and the great year we’ve had by giving him a basket with origami grasshoppers. some of you may know that i often fold origami dragons and leave them in random spots, and well, a few months ago i found out that this professor found three of them (about the size of a lucifer) and now keeps them on his desk. so this really was the perfect gift

we ended up folding about 50 grasshoppers in like, 2 days? six people helped making them and all of them had little faces (some had googly eyes and it was great)

and this professor is like, incredibly humble and really doesn’t think much of himself. first lecture he said that he would try not to use all three hours bc ‘i don’t like hearing myself talk for three hours so i can only imagine how you guys must feel’ (we literally looked at each other like ‘???’ at that moment bc we really don’t mind)

and honestly, he was so happy when we gave it to him? it was a closed box we put the grasshoppers in and he was like ‘do i open it now or?’ and we were like yes pls. and he opened it and just went ‘oh wow the grasshoppers! did you guys make all of these? i love that! this is great!’ and he even made a joke abt how these grasshoppers would be a bad example bc ‘these are actually quite soulful’ and it was?? so cute?? he was so happy??

when we left he was still holding the basket against his chest and we just couldn’t stop smiling for the rest of the day
