idk if it means anything really, but i think it's interesting how after all their time together as a couple in a christianity-adjacent world, lucifer and lilith only had one (1) child, and it was only 200 years ago at that

#for a show based on a religion notorious for the expectation put on women to become mothers (especially at a young age)#(and in certain extreme cases the only real role of a woman being essentially that of a breeding tool/incubator)#it's a neat detail (though quite likely unintentional) that the Ultimate 1 Most Horrible Sinner Couple betrayed heaven's rules #then went on to have a long (happy? generally successful?) relationship without needing/rushing to have children #presumably satisfied with one another rather than feeling obligated to make themselves “useful”#I feel it really highlights exactly the sort of differences that came of lilith choosing lucifer over adam #like no wonder amirite.#freedom for lilith was as small and inherent a thing as bodily autonomy (👀); as getting to have a relationship where she can be loved for #who she is instead of what services she can provide #the show obviously mentions this a lot in other ways but to me a main example of this is the childlessness in their marriage #again idk if it means much but i haven't seen this talked about much i know this specifically is not talked about in the show either #but it's a pretty obvious deviation from what christianity teaches women and what lilith would have especially known to be her role at the #beginning of humanity where they needed to do a lot of ~populating~#even nowadays the expectation for women to become wifes and be subservient to their husbands & the role of sex being purely reproductive #all that time but only 1 kid & so late too just goes to show how absent those roles + rules + expectations were once lilith rejected adam #(and therefore heaven)#which. the detail itself can be interpreted in different ways as can the reaction to this particular interpretation. but personally i'm just #happy for her that she (perhaps/presumably/temporarily) got to experience a loving relationship based on mutual respect and equality etc.#so like good for her #this doesnt really have a point i just thought it was a cool detail #rant post #shitpost #kind of #hazbin hotel #lucilith #i am not trying to generalize christianity itself here btw #and when i say extreme cases i do mean *extreme* as i know it's not reflective of the religion as a whole or it's principles #but in the hellaverse specifically it does seem like those teachings and mentalities and heavily unequal gender roles *were* meant to exist #so the specific lack of their fulfillment with lucilith seems important
