#not saying consent and self control shouldnt be valued#because fuck yes they should be #but it completely destroys what their characters are supposed to be #and totally destroys the concept of a sin

Sins Being Neutered By People Who Don't Understand Sins

The embodiment of lust caring about consent and the embodiment of gluttony caring about self-control is the adult equivalent of this.

#helluva boss #negative #spiritual #fr it's so freaking jarring #Ozzy caring about consent could MAYBE be explained as more people experiencing lust = better for him #instead of just one making another person miserable #if everyone is feeling lust then it increases the energy he feeds off #but Bee seemingly caring about someone partying TOO hard? bro. she's GLUTTONY #partying too hard is kind of Gluttony's THING #again you might explain it as Blitzo giving off rancid vibes at the party and contaminating the flavor of the energy by disturbing the vibe #but i highly doubt he was the only one going to the party to drown his sorrows in booze and sex #that he was the only one covering up his problems with overindulgence #so why is it only ''bad'' when he does it?#make it make sense #seriously that's all i'm asking #internal fucking consistency #religion is not a cool edgy ~aesthetic~ you can pick and choose from like a buffet table #if you are going to set your raunchy edgy black comedy in Literal Hell:tm:#you should at LEAST do the legwork to portray the concepts you're co-opting accurately and have them ACT accordingly #Lust isn't just about sex it's an all consuming desire for something like power or violence #it's about seeing others as objects to use for your own gratification or advancement. it's not seeing them as PEOPLE.#gluttony is more than eating a lot it's about overindulging to the point of excessive wastefulness #harming yourself by your overindulgence but also harming others through over-consumption #by making your characters the embodiment of these vices instead of just naming them after them #you are shooting yourself in the foot if you make them act counterintuitive to their natures #like making Poseidon afraid of water or horses it just doesn't work
