WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.
Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.

So in my “will-i-won’t-i” with Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss (where I procrastinate and don’t watch the shows and only absorb the content through TikTok, Tumblr and sometimes Twitter) I came across Staticmoth/ VoxVal.
I saw the scene with Angel and Valentino. His abuse and disgusting behavior. I have an idea on how this moth asshole behaves.
And I have seen some people think that their relationship would be toxic, that Vox and Val, if the predictions are correct and become (or are revealed to be) a couple, would beat the shit (physically, mentally and emotionally) out of each other on the regular, but I think the idea that him and Vox having a healthy relationship could be such a punch to the gut plot wise.
Because that would mean Valentino IS capable of understanding consent. He KNOWS what working with someone else means without disrespect. He FULLY knows what sex is supposed to be like.
But that’s is between equals. Vox? His equal. Fellow overlord.
Angel? His property. Why would he give a shit about his thing?

as someone who has worked in courtrooms and actively is in law school i. i just have to talk about the cleo v doc case.
i finally got around to watching doc's entire POV after being too busy. i saw clips over and over again that were just calling my name. and oh boy did the full vid not dissapoint. my mouth was wide open the whole time in both shock and laughter. surprisingly, some of the proceedings of the court were accurate to typical US court proceedings!
here's a list of events and actions that stood out to me for their questionable realism:
- skizz's opening line was pretty accurate to how most plaintiff/prosecutions begin -"your honor, opposing council, members of the jury"
- most courts don't let you... submit evidence in opening statements but i love the hustle skizz!!
- honestly skizz's entire opening statement would have had a jury on his side
- but no jury? this would be a jury case
- honestly joe's baby defense i could see playing out in court
- joe really held up the batshit defense arguments stereotype and i love that for us 🧡
- arguing in opening to have the case dismissed... baby that time has passed. not even discovery can save you now
- i get the feeling neither joe nor doc knew the plaintiff was going to call witnesses which is not only major illegal but also so fucking funny
- this is the type of questioning a proffessor would show what leading a witness looks like
- literally during both of joes cross' i was crying it was so funny
- also ren's "i cannot recall" yeah!! that's good.
- should have brought up husband status
- skizz. please. it is not "disposition". beef did not give you a "disposition". it's "deposition". please. i'm crying.
- really good relevance objection! and skizz didn't say "relevency" so +3000 lawyer points!
- the judge firing missles at both councils is a feature i think the lower courts should implement
- DEFENSE DIDNT GET TO PRESENT A SINGLE WITNESS???
- like they had no case. the witnesses are your case. they didn't begin their case to even rest it. help?
- no experts testified but i think if D did get a witness they could've had an expert testify to either doc's baby or insane status and that would have really helped.
- joe's mens rhea argument in closing was SO GOOD. like that really was the glove moment of this trial.
anyways i'll be thinking about this for 1000 years.
