theres something to be said about the fact that the "music doesnt matter, punk is actually all about being soft and tweeting vaguely leftist things and total pacifism" posers whose beliefs line up far better with the hippie subculture, and how that correlates to the fact that a substantial portion of the reason punk emerged as a subculture in the first place was as a counter against the hippie movement cause a lot of them clocked hippies as liberal yuppies that were full of shit and had no real backbone about the things they claimed to care so much about. interesting...

Sorry I saw like 2 things about your Accidental Overlord Vaggie AU and my brain supplied me with the hotel members overhearing this conversation between Charlie and Vaggie:
Vaggie: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I’M AN OVERLORD?!
Charlie: Well— you- you own souls, sweetie, I—?? I’m not sure how you didn’t know??
Vaggie: ???OF COURSE I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WERE ?? NO CONTRACTS???
Charlie: Vaggie—
Vaggie (probably pacing in circles): How the hell do I own souls?? That’s possible with no contract??? How many do I—
Vaggie (turning to Charlie way too fast): How many do I own?
Charlie: Uhm.. . .. so I don’t. I don’t really know–
Vaggie (about to pass out):
Vaggie is so wet cat coded, shed be shaking wondering wtf to do while Charlie tries to help the ebst she can
As for how the others would react? Well, Alastor already knows. Now, I'm not sure if this means Husk and Nifty would know or not, but I'm goign to sya that they don't know
I don't think Nifty would care really, maybe ask about HOW she got souls but nothing else, Husk I imagine treats her the same but with jsut a bit more respect because he doesn't need ANOTHER overlord out for his head
Pentious would probably brag about knowing an overlord to anyone out side of the hotel
The nsot interesting reactionw ould have to be from Angle, I have two ways on how he reacts
I can imagine him doubling down on the teasing because he knows he can get away and likes bullying an overlord because Vaggie can't really do anything about it, not with Charlie around. I also think he'd see it as 'getting back at Val' like, he can't do anything to Val but Vaggie is an overlord that he CAN do something to so I think it'd give him a feeling of power?
The 2nd option is that he's terrified of Vaggie now, not by too much, but he slowly stops teasing her unless their in the living room, and even then, it's minimal. I imagine if this route happened, he'd avoid being alone with her and just back off a lot, like a skittish cat. Because, like Husk, he doesnt need another overlord coming for his head. Maybe he spends more time outside the hotel cause not the hotel isn't a safe place for him. Not anymore
Both options definitely give a lot of angst, and I think Husk would be the one to pull him out of both, probably like ep4 because I imagine that they'd overhear the conversation between ep3 and ep4. So Husk would not only be talking with him about Val and all that but also his change in behavior towards Vaggie
Honestly, both are very angle things to do, bite harder due to fear, or back off due to fear. So, it either works, though. I do think option 1 is a bit more in character? Like, he's hiding his fear behind mean words, like he does in canon. Jsut, he doubles down. But again, I CAN see him relating either way
Honestly I wasn't sure if Charlie would know or not, but she's gonna know amd jsut casually not say anything, cause she thinks Vaggie already knows, JUST for the sale of this conversation-
