I think you could have a very long and impassionated debate on whose legacy was bastardized worse: Jesus Christ or that poor little Japanese dog
#On the one hand christianity has been around a lot longer and has caused many a war#To say nothing of the modern evangelical movement in the united states#On the other its a major world religion impossible to generalize and the majority of its followers are perfectly normal or even good people#You cant be a casual doge fan the way you can be a casual jesus fan

We as a society need to lean into Mario and Peach’s noblewoman-and-knight dynamic way more than we presently are.
The tenderness! The chivalry! The elegant nobility eased by comfortable familiarity! These two are the living embodiment of all those fancy paintings of 13th century knights and their lovers and I for one want more.




#like c’mon mario is literally a modern medieval knight#except instead of slaughtering innocents in the name of christianity he battles a fire-breathing turtle-dragon every so often#this man is down so fucking bad and would do literally anything for peach and she’d do anything for him in return#‘but peaches all this emphasis on romanticism is cringe’ THEN LET ME BE CRINGE THEIR DYNAMIC SLAYS ME#peaches has opinions#mareach

So pretending Viv didn't retcon her own fucking lore drop on twitter by being like "omg!! If it wasn't obvioussssss, he was lying. Silly guy. Isn't the sin of WRATH such a egoistical, self absorbed PRIDEFUL guy"—
I'm very into this idea that Satan, and the Imps and all the Hellborn are the indigenous people of Hell.
Which would mean, that Lucifer got banished to a foreign land, immediately claimed ownership of it, allowed/told his wife to manipulate everyone with her singing, and then proceeded to flood Hell with human Sinner's that he also made legally above all the Hellborn. And then got...bored?? And quit actively being king to go make ducks and emotionally abuse his daughter.
Like, holy shit is Lucifer being a metaphor for white colonialism fucking INSANE. The running assumption (and Viv's bullshit on twitter) has been that Lucifer and the other Sin's were together as a group. That the circus theme, and the rings, and the Goetia was just the world they built. But, if Satan and the Sin's were just the indigenous people who lived there, that sure as fuck makes the circus theme more creepy?
Circuses have historically been horrifying displays of human cruelty. Human trafficking, the buying and selling of people with dwarfism as toys or pets, physical torture and extreme conditions, racisim, rape, animal abuse, just like...bad stuff. There were probably some circuses that were fine, but the vast majority of the time it wasn't done humanely or with any dignity to the people performing.
Lucifer, showed up and just like, forced the Sin's into a Circus they didn't want to be apart of? The Circus isn't a thing anymore, because Lucifer isn't as into it, and all of the Sin's seem perfectly fine not doing it anymore.
Thing is, who the fuck was this Circus for?
The only thing I can think of is Lucifer wanting to feel in control again after being banished, and trying to establish the Sinner's as the deserving and dominate "race".
He would've forced Queen B to humiliate and abuse her hellhounds to do...tricks and dances on balls or whatever the fuck, to show how lowly and animalistic they are. Hellhounds aren't like Sinner's. Sinner's are just people with animal traits, they're REAL PEOPLE unlike these dogs.
He would've forced Ozzie to make his Hellborn and Imps to do dangerous and unnecessary acts. The big difference between Hellborn and Sinner's, is that the Hellborn can actually die. So when the Sinner's see a Imp fall from a trapeze act, or end up set on fire and hurt, they'll see that they're inherently better because they aren't that frail. And again, historically circuses had a lot of human trafficking, sex, labor or otherwise. Ozzie runs the sex industry, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was overlap there in the start.
Mamm and Levi seem to be on the infrastructure side, building and maintaining the society and rings everyone lives on. We KNOW that Imps and Hellborn are underprivileged and lack resources. Hellhounds are forced into shelters where they're thrown out the second the little social funding they have runs out. Imps are basically constantly struggling, and never seem to have stable lives. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the support and care that the Hellborn need are being used to "fix" the "overpopulation" issue that Lucifer caused.
And Satan. Holy shit is forcing Satan, the original king to Hell, and the creator of the main indigenous peoples of Hell, to be the fucking "Law" absolutely horrifying. The fact that Satan is in such a high position of power(supposedly) and he's here, making an "example" of a Imp to get the bureaucracy off his ass and move on with his life. Well, if the god of Imps says that they're all disgusting rapists who are after the poor, innocent white Goetia then that must be true!!!! HORRIFYING. WHAT THE FUCK.
Lucifer forced the original gods of Hell to debase, and humiliate their peoples for the entertainment of his Sinner's, and then got fucking bored and left the circus to hide away in his castle. No wonder Ozzie is a consent freak and B is so concerned about people self harming.
There's a world, where Hazbin Hotel actually takes RISKS, and tries to do something interesting. But Viv backtracks every time. And also would never allow her villian characters to be...ya know....villainous. But Luci can't do more then be kinda a little abusive to his daughter but only in a sad way, otherwise he's not a gooodddd guyyyyyy nooooooo.
Anyway, I'm very attached to this indigenous Satan au. Fuck Lucifer, give the Imps their fucking land back you colonizing bitch, and let Satan be the king of Pride again. And stop forcing them to fucking celebrate your dad's son by claiming it's actually just about celebrating youuuu and your sinnn. Shut the fuck up you goddamn weirdo.
#idk where exactly the Goetia fit. if they're like the hellborn or if they came with Lucifer. im leaning to luci tho#this also works under the assumption that the rest of the hellborn are a product of lilith as the mother of demons#but thats ehh#normal hellborn might not be like the actual creations of Lilith idk#god i hate sinsmas#i hate so much fantasy cuz it just assumes so much of Christianity and colonialism is just....how it all works?? thats just how culture is?#stop adding Christmas to things i hate you#its like no one can imagine a world where modern Christian capitalism DOESN'T EXIST#why does every fantasy world have a Christmas equivalent#the toymaker luci au I've been rotating with the council fuks so hard y'all dont even know#this has absolutely been added to the show lion!au#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel au#hazbin hotel critical#hazbin hotel lucifer#helluva boss#helluva boss critical#helluva boss satan#racisim#colonialism

You know, it's a tragedy that there are no (or very little) Vampire x Christian stories out there, not for angst or theology or forbidden seductiveness or whatnot but for the sheer comedy of it all. I mean, the Christian would technically be immune to all of the vampire's shenanigans, like for example...
Vampire: Fool, I am the most powerful vampire in the West. Nothing but the force of an entire holy temple could even deign to scratch me
Christian: Idiot, I AM a holy temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19, fear me and the Spirit inside that can burn you to ashes
#this thought was brought on by a conversation i saw on the km shea discord#and also my need to theologize everything#it would be so funny to me too if we added the fact that the human Christian was also anemic#(not because anemia is funny. especially not if it's chronic. just the fact that the vamp couldn't bite the human)#truth be told it doesn't even have to be a romance to me. just a chaotic comedy duo#lemon duck quacks#lemon duck tales#yeah this is funny#for the words!#one day i will write all my deranged supernatural story ideas that involve way too much Christian imagery and comedy#but for now....#anyway how to make the most unbiteable human that you cannot help be drawn to as a modernized vamp?#Christian and likely chronically iron deficient#i am very sorry if this is offensive#but you know#vampires

Are christians against lgbt stuff just homophobes and transphobes by default?
Being against LGBT ideology and lifestyles, yes.
Being against LGBT *PEOPLE*, no.
The Bible makes it clear that homosexual relationships are a sin because it's outside of God's design for us, and that we are either male or female, and whatever gender we are born as, we are forever. (That doesn't equal personality btw, females are free to be tomboyish without rejecting their femininity and males are free to be more *stereotypically* feminine without rejecting their masculinity)
I'm not *phobic* of anyone in the sense that I'll discriminate against them for not believing what I believe.
Are there Christians (or people who say they are) that act in an unChristlike manner towards LGBT people? Yes.
Is that all Christians? No, and it shouldn't be any Christians.
Christians are called to love all people while still calling sin bad.
We are to speak against sin with gentleness and respect to LGBT people, not be rude or hateful towards them.
Also LGBT lifestyles are NOT bigger than any other sin btw. ANY sexual behavior outside of marriage is sin, including heterosexual. People don't get a pass because they're straight.
#poyo#christian kirbo hours#I hope this helps anon#I'm not against anyone but I will be against their sin#I also have so many problems with modern gender ideology that I'm not gonna get into here

maaaan i'm not even heated about it because i should've known better but i wish i could post about the bible as a cultural and literary document without weirdos flocking to my blog 😔 i've always loved the storytelling of the bible (even though i left the church!) and there's so much to unpack when you view it as a piece of literature instead of a piece of scripture! but alas........oh well theres other books
#the literature class i took about the bible was my favorite course i've ever taken!#especially when u supplement the narratives with modern archeological/anthropological findings#but that is on me for expecting christians to see someone go “btw i am engaging w the bible strictly as a piece of literature”#and decide “unacceptable. time to proselytize.” that's kinda their main beat huh#religion
