Good morning [Proceeds to post]

So swap aus amirite?

FORCOM HOTEL, Tried to look for an opposite of Haz-bin, am I aware of all the jokes that could be made with that name? Yes, which part of why it's staying

Adam, the first man, first soul in hell and prince of the mentioned, opens an hotel to help his descendants to go to heaven so he doesn't have to watch them fucking die again every year He may look bubbly but he is still kind of a bitch, however he just wants to help, believes everyone can be redeemed as long as they want to Not as naive as Charlie

Lute is very dedicated to protect Adam since, despite being more powerful than any other human soul, is still essentially a sinner Loosed her arm after getting into a fight with Agatha, she spared a couple and Agatha was just going to take her wings and halo, but as she fought back, she cut her arm to keep her at bay As determined as Adam, also all up for singing

Charlotte, she's normally referred with her full name but Charlie is okay too Younger Seraphin, not the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith but still close to them both to consider them as such Considers exterminations a mercy as she doesn't believe there's another option and thinks it's better than let them suffer an eternity on hell, thinks Adam's plan is giving sinners false hope Wdym her clothes looks like Saint Peter? Definitly no

Agatha, since Adam never named her after Vagina it just made sense for Charlotte to give her a normal name Since Charlotte is supporting her, she never had any doubts about what they were doing, convinced that this was mercy and that, anyway, sinners were in hell for a reason Tries to keep Charlotte from doing stupid things, but she normall doesn't listen

Adam and Lute are dating, Charlotte and Agatha are also dating, so not much changes

I designed the excorcist uniform with clowns and Charlie's full demon form as a reference and I really like them, imagine that thing coming down to kill ya I'm just now realizing I gave them the same mouths, but like that works Who is the Sin of Lust in here? Still figuring that one out sorry

FUCK I kind of changed the au again, not too much tho it's basically still the same thing Once I finish it all you will be able to see it here once I link it

PUZZLE: The recurrent Rhink storyline is not even new!!!!!!!

Ok, I must take a deep breath. I must preface this by mentioning the recent Rhink analyses I have made. If you haven't read these, please don't read this one either if you take an issue with my firm belief that Rhett and Link are more than friends, because, to summarize, this is exactly what I am saying in these posts plus that Rhett and Link are gradually preparing for the "Is it yet yet?" day. This is why they are releasing these videos lately, which are full of coded messages. For example, the "We Dug a Medium-sized Hole" is about their whole relationship, including a focus on their sexual life. The "We Hired an Excorcist to play DnD" is about them having to date and get married (to others) under the shadow of their Church. This is not the first time they take this approach though. This is the allegory in Hazel, where they both end up trapped in the "closet", the middle room, Hazel's forest inside, with no way out. And more obvious than any is their book The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek with their alter egos Rex and Leif fighting with the reform school of their very conservative town. There the symbolism is particularly strong.

For more details and evidence on that, see the previous posts:

They Dug A Hole

The "We Dug A Hole" Discussion

It has always been one story

But even this was not the beginning of the heavily coded scripted content. It turns out we can go all the way back to freaking 2015 and their GMM Sketchtober. Sketchtober was a project they did in October 2015 which was them essentially releasing five scripted videos just for the sake of it. To be fair, I do not see clear symbolism in all of them, so I will analyze them in an order that makes sense for this post. Bear with me here. However, I sense it's me not picking up on some of it and not that some videos really don't have a symbolism at all. Why, you ask? Because of the official video descriptions.

The post is long so I am putting the rest of it under a Read More. BUT!!! If you are interested in this topic but don't have enough time or willpower, open the readmore and read the last chapter, named "Puzzle". Trust me, that's where the most juice is.

The Nose-Looker

Symbolism significance: 3/5

This is the first video they released. The official description is "The nose is the window to the soul". The video starts with Rhett asking Link whether he would choose to only eat straight or curly fries for the rest of his life... Link cuts him off and confronts Rhett for staring at his nose and not at his eyes. Rhett is taken aback and admits looking at Link's nose, with the excuse that he just looked generally at the face and didn't know where exactly to focus. Link presses him to choose an eye to look at and makes a point that he is beautiful, which leaves Rhett speechless. After Rhett tries to manipulate unsuccessfully the conversation, he proposes that they should rather stop looking at each other. They start looking over each other's shoulders, which they characterize as "freeing". They see then a Ring girl and a falconer over each other's shoulders and I don't know if there is any symbolism in this or it was just to add a funny red-herring. The video ends with Link asking whether he could choose waffle fries, so I suppose something that is considered both straight and curly. Hmmm.

Aside from the suspicious fries talk, the obvious commentary here is that you can change the word "nose" with the word "lips" and you might as well have something that really happened. Even in GMM it was obvious how often Rhett looked at Link on the lips, so imagine how obvious it was in private. After the newsical kiss, after writing in his diary and taking the big decision, it wouldn't surprise me if this is the approach Link followed; to non-chalantly confront and expose Rhett, so that Rhett would have trouble escaping him.

Campin'

Symbolism significance : 4/5

This is the second video they released. The official description is "Just two guys enjoying the great outdoors...". Of course you know that all sentences that start with "just two of something" have a heavy sexual implication. This is the one most of the casual viewers found to have some innuedos, however the general concept behind it initially seems to be about people not being able to detach from technology and be immersed in nature. This, however, is once again the red herring. Watch this video and try to tell me they don't act like two people in a tent struggling to not have sex. They lie down to sleep supposedly, they muse about the beauty of nature and how they should do this regularly but then they are incredibly antsy and can't sleep. In fact, it's Link who always finds something annoying enough to disturb their effort to fall asleep. First, he needs to pump up his mattress. Second, he is too thirsty. Third, he is too hot. So, pumped up, thirsty and hot are Link's problems. At every mention of a new problem, Rhett jumps up and agrees that he has the same problem. As a result, they inflate their mattresses, they inject a hydrator in their veins and Link pulls his duvet and stays completely naked from the waist down. Then a cricket gets inside the tent and they leave screaming, only so we find out the tent was out of one of their houses (the whole detachment from nature thing). A neighbour sees Link running after Rhett with his junk out.

While there is not much of a story here, we should remember that there is something shady whenever Rhett and Link mention camping. Don't forget when they told Cuddle Queen Jean about two friends of theirs who once got lost in a hiking trail and had to spoon each other in the cold. CQJ said this could make them either "stop talking to each other" or the bestest of friends. Rhett added: "Right. Or more", which could suggest that Rhett knows how the relationship between "these two friends" evolved. They have also discussed how once Link forgot his sleeping bag and had to sleep together. In any case, there is some sort of significance in camping.

BFFs

Symbolism significance: 2/5

This is the third video they released. The official description is "They're so close they can finish each other's sentences". After staying too close to the microwave, Link develops the ability to finish Rhett's words and predict what he is going to say. Rhett manipulates him to believe this is not happening and then reveals himself as an agent who asks this Link to be withdrawn and recycled. Three masked men violently seize Link and a new Link without previous memory is offered to Rhett. Rhett introduces himself, clearly manipulating the new Link to think of him as his best friend. The music in this one is melancholic and a little haunting. The new Link is seen getting hypnotised by the microwave too.

While it's not very clear, I think the hint lies in the description. Apparently, by finishing Rhett's words Link violates some boundaries of their already extreme closeness. Rhett initially tries to talk him out of it and when this doesn't work, he recycles him. Perhaps this has to do with the church. The suspicion that Link wasn't straight could have been established early. Maybe Rhett saw it in himself to guide Link, to manipulate him that this is not actually the case. The fact that this seems to be happening again and again suggests that Link went through many periods of repression but his feelings for Rhett always emerged again.

Did You Get Me Anything?

Symbolism significance : 1/5

This is actually the fifth video they released but I am saving the fourth for last for reasons that will become clear very soon. The official description is "Never make a promise you don't intend to keep". In this one, Rhett and Link are amateur herpetologists who seek a rare monkey snake. The snake (devil? temptation?) bites Link, who falls into a temporary paralysis. Rhett looks deep into his eyes and can always tell what Link wants to be fed. Link's favourite foods apparently are: wood, dirt, living squirrels, glass and we also get a quick scene of Rhett with a toilet paper that I do not dare think what it implies (it's a joke ofc). At some point, Link almost seems to lose the battle, so Rhett tries to bring him to and promises to always feed Link with what he wants to eat by looking him deep in the eyes. Later, he seems to forget this but only for a moment. He gives Link a lamp to eat with Link appreciating this arrangement. Now, I don't know if this is entirely a symbolism but it probably is. We do get a "promise forever" and in light of everything else in this series of videos, it probably matters.

The Puzzle

Symbolism significance : 5000000000000000000000000000/5

This is one of the dirtiest videos Rhett and Link have made and I can't believe how under the radar it is despite its many views. Not only it is dirty but it is one of their most revelatory scripted work and, as you'll see below, in full sync with other content and spontaneous things they have said. To put it simply, this is their first time. I am gonna write a lot about this one, perhaps more than I wrote about anything else before.

This is the fourth video, so the last video before the "forever promise". The official description is "It's not all fun and games when a puzzle needs completing". Wanna see a similar statement?

On failing to push the shovel into the dirt at the first time, Rhett comments: "I don't know what I was expecting. And it immediately registered with me that this is not going to necessarily be easy or fun".

He's talking about the exact same thing. So let's actually start with the puzzle video. During a storm that keeps them inside their office, Link suggests they could play a puzzle to which Rhett responds enthusiastically. It was Link's initiative. Link was also the one who suggested they made as big a hole as possible. Leif in TLCOBC is the one who presses Rex to leave his own scooter and jump behind him on his own bike. (Just wait, it all clicks together in the end.)

We can be pretty sure that for quite some time at the beginning, Rhett and Link were really not good at solving puzzles or digging holes or biking together.

The gif is self-explanatory. Rarely have they been so clear, in fact. I don't know if their puzzle solving here is any accurate as a measure of their ineptness. Hopefully not, because, well, you would expect that men married for like 15 years at the time would be at least sliiiightly better at this than that. BONUS points for the very consciously chosen 80s amateur porno vibe and music specifically for this moment.

Eventually they get the puzzle almost complete. The puzzle, which pictures a dead grandpa inside a coffin, is however missing one piece. And you know the piece that's missing? THE HEAD.

Rhett and Link start to look frantically for the head (piece) and their panic rises. They stop and try to calm down by reciting this poem about the ocean and the calming lotion, which they repeated in their "Link straightens Rhett's hair" vlog. It doesn't help them though - the head doesn't just show up - so they panic again.

Now I will interrupt here to say a) we have the moment of Rhett failing to push the shovel in the dirt in the dug a hole video, b) we have that time Rhett said in GMM "For some time we had a little project called 'who is soft and who is moist '. It depended on the day", c) we have that time in GMMore Link told Rhett "Nobody is better than you at being flaccid", d) we have that slide GMM episode where Rhett said "I am gonna go hard but, you know, Rhett-hard" where Link interjects to say "Kinda limp. Got it" and then Rhett finishes by saying "- which is not as hard as some people" and e) I remember one time Link letting it slip that he had "helping" pills in his car.

I am willing to bet that at least at the first attempts they had, be it the awkwardness, the anxiety, everything that was at stake, their inexperience in this particular way of going at it, the secrecy or whatever else, Rhett had problems. So imagine if he actually took a helping pill and now watch what happens in the puzzle video:

Freaked out as they are, as nothing seems to be working, they decide to call the customer service of the puzzle company to complain. (Please God, Universe, please tell me they actually did this irl. Please). A Nora answers the phone and they complain they don't have the head. Nora tells them it's unlikely it's the puzzle's fault and Rhett and Link are basically fuming. Nora politely responds that this must be puzzle user error, which freaks Rhett. She further says all "puzzles" (pills) are tested by professionals and at this point their anger is hilarious. An out of his mind Rhett threatens to sue them and he stands up full of determination which is when Link sees he has the head on his raised arm. Freaked out again, Rhett however goes on with his threat. Nora senses the change in his voice and asks if they found the head. (PLEASE GOD TELL ME THIS HAPPENED AND IT'S NOT MADE UP.) At this point, as they don't know what to do, Link impulsively takes the head to his mouth, the puzzle piece, I mean. After an initial shock, Rhett screams nonsense at Nora to hide what's going on. Link starts choking and Nora hears his choking sounds and understands. Rhett keeps threatening her while simultaneously trying to save Link, in this way:

By the way his threat is: "I AM BEHIND YOU NORA. TURN AROUND AND SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND".

Turn around and say hello to my "little friend". This makes no sense with the context of the video. It's a classic "hard dick" reference. It's really one of the most glaring videos they have ever done.

The piece finally is ejected from Link's mouth and falls right on the puzzle and completes it, with this not at all lewd shot.

The head with Link's spit on it.

Nora perceives all of that. Rhett and Link, now very happy, confirm to her that that's what happened and thank her, but Rhett doesn't hang up the phone correctly.

Rhett: (still a little shocked) That escalated quickly.

Link: (content) Yeah, that's what happens when you put together a puzzle.

Nora: (politely) I am actually still on the phone.

Rhett and Link: ...

Nora: Well, I have you boys here, you mind answering a few survey questions?

Link: Sure!

Rhett: No problem.

Nora: On a scale of one to ten, how helpful was I today?

Rhett and Link: Ten?

Nora: Aaand on a scale of one to ten, how (inaudible) do you find the grandpa puzzles?

Rhett and Link:

It is reasonable to conclude at this point that their first time was great for Rhett, however he was entirely oblivious to the fact that for Link the experience was disappointing, if not painful. And yes, this is essentially established through their content too. Aside from the puzzle video, we have this:

This:

Notice their microexpressions.

We have a world darts game on GMM a few years ago where Link said: "I gotta dart first!" and Rhett muttered "Oh yeah I am used to that".

And of course, going back to the bike ride in TLCOBC:

After their falling behind in the chase for Alicia, Leif urges Rex to hop on his bike and let go of his scooter. Rex denies and defends his "scooter or pushing leg", supporting he simply hasn't trained it well yet, because it takes practice. After some argument, Rex cedes and hops on Leif's bike:

Rex abruptly hopped off his scooter and tossed it under a shrub on the side of the road. He stepped onto the two pegs jutting out from Leif’s back wheel, his hands on Leif’s shoulders. “Burn it.” And Leif did. He pedaled like he’d never pedaled before, rocketing forward even with the extra 150 pounds of lanky human freight. The fiery pain in his thighs was overwhelming, but as the boys rounded the last turn on Creek Road, the white dot reappeared ahead, and that was all the motivation Leif needed.

But despite all that they don't manage to catch Alicia and Leif is heartbroken:

“But…” Rex still had both hands and one foot on the fence. “So that’s it? We’re just giving up on her?” “I…I don’t know,” Leif said, wiping his wet cheeks, grateful for the cover of night. “Maybe.” (...)

Leif stared down the shadowy driveway, feeling like his heart had been injured.

But despite the obvious failure, Rex makes an unexpected comment.

“Hey, Leif,” Rex said out of nowhere (...) “Good call on the bike pegs.” Or not. Leif nodded and kept pedaling.

Even though they fail at saving Alicia, Rex is oblivious to Leif's heartbreak and his struggle. On the other hand, Leif seems to have regretted proposing the bike ride which was both very painful and eventually fruitless.

So above we have Link's barb that " a first time must be slow". Further above, we have him judging Rhett and saying he expected the hole digging to be more dramatic. And to go back to our puzzle video, Rhett had a ten that night but Link had only a two. I guess they were struggling so bad and when Rhett had finally some push from a pill or resolved the issue in whatever way, he went full force and with too much enthusiasm to last at all. (Plus there are running jokes even in GMM that Rhett doesn't last long usually, which might have to do with excessive enthusiasm!) This made the experience somewhat traumatic for Link though, as he didn't have time to adjust and enjoy this, and was building this up in his mind for a damn long time.

But we're still good. Judging from that GMM, they now have a rule of Link darting first. I wonder why they go back and back to this particular experience even in their scripts and not, say, their first mutually great time. Maybe this is off limits and off comedy, which would be totally understandable.

After this massive parenthesis, we reach the most crucial point. Nora asks the hardest question last: "And are you still embracing each other?"

This is my favourite moment. Despite Link's conflicting emotions and apparently their initial intent to keep this casual, they are just there still cuddling. It's important that this was filmed in late 2015. It suggests they realised super early that they weren't meant for casual. Then again, I don't know how they even believed they could do casual. You just don't decide to bone your best friend of 30 years casually, especially if you are supposedly a Christian straight married man. Lol casual. Medium. Judging from the digging a hole video, where Link first proposed the biggest hole possible and then downsized this to a medium hole so that he wouldn't scare Rhett away, it's clear Link never meant this to be casual but he did downplay what he wanted originally to convince Rhett, and Rhett was at a point that would let himself be convinced by anything.

As if ALL this wasn't enough, they add a post-title in the end, which is something they didn't do in any other of their videos. The font they chose was this:

Okay guys I GET IT chill now

Anyway these were my many cents for their old Sketchtober. The fact that these videos were filmed in 2015 certainly puts things into perspective.

UPDATED ROCKYMEDIA/MCYT HAZBIN AU (I might make two separate onesdjfjfk) ( @therummonster you requested to be updated so I update thee) :

Design things/how they look :

Sabre - since angel canonically(?) Hates his legs, I made Sabres legs chicken legs :D The way he looks(chicken-like) is basically mocking him for having bad fortune (since chickens normally mean good fortune).

Unicorn Mann - His horn is there cause he got stabbed in the head with an ice pick.

Tina - Disguised herself to look like a tiger Moth

Ryan - he has Paw feet- mimics a hellhound

Goldy - Has a bunch of golden patches on her skin.

Tony - Excorcist angel, also looks like a tiger Moth.

Kat - (in hell) resembles a cat :D

Cookie - also a exorcist angel, has a mainly Pastel color pallete.

Other stuff :

Ryan - Sold "tea" to people when he was alive (drvgs) and was also a thief- sin is still pride. Has a hell tea collection(if that exists). Originally reflected on why he was in hell and was like "well... yeah I was a bad person. Let me try and make myself better".

Tina - Met Ryan after she disguised herself, so Ryan doesn't know :3 Has a more vaggie-ish personality but still has og!Tina mixed in there. She still calls Ryan cutie and stuff like that.

Sabre - He wears long socks/boots/etc to cover his legs up- :3 Died in the 1940's bc of forced overdosage (by a "friend"). Very show-off-ish. Taller then everyone else, but mostly cos he wears platforms.

Unicorn Mann - ✨️Soda addiction✨️(as therum mentioned in one of the other posts, but since this is hell I think he'd (SOMETIMES[rough day]) would mix Alcohol w it- cos- ye- also that's just a common thing for some people to do)

Goldy - This might be butchering her character a bit but I kinda made her have a grumpier personality, she's still a bit silly and ignorant but yea- hell and all- kinda made her a bit different. All her teeth are gold.

Tony - doesn't know where Tina is and is worried about her :3 Died due to natural causes, got to heaven after Tina got trapped in hell.

Kat - Died due to gang affiliation and getting killed by the cops(Out of character for Kat I know but- A-). A little less timid than she was in daycare, she got more timid after she got sent to hell.

Cookie - Died from putting herself in the forever box after Tina died. She's also an exorcist angel and just doesn't know what happened to Tina since that was never adressed to her specifically.

Headcanon & AU Backstory: Valentino / Lovelace Firror

Lovelace Firror, commonly known as Valentino, is the father of Feloncio and Fonix.

Warning: Mention of drug abuse, porn, domestic violence

Appearances

Sleep Well

Solo

TBC

Backstory

(ps. the names of the life stage don't correspond to Youtube video titles)

Pre-adulthood

He was born in a developing country in Latin America.

His father was addicted to drugs and gambling, making Lovelace exposed to drugs as well during his childhood.

His father died when Lovelace was still a child, and he was forced to inherit his huge debt.

Unable to pay off the debt, he was compelled to sign a slave contract, trafficked to the US.

One day, Lovelace fed up with his owners and killed them, but he was shot in the side head, thus causing his memory loss.

Human StaticMoth

He was rescued by Ted Vision, who would later become Vox. Out of sympathy, Ted decided to take care of Lovelace.

Lovelace totally forgot about what happened before he was rescued.

Day by day, their relationship became close, and Lovelace fell in love with Ted. However, due to their gender gap, rumors and the struggle of sexuality, Ted decided to leave Lovelace.

They have never met ever since, for Ted had died in a broadcast accident.

The Entertainment Industry

Because Ted and Lovelace had an unfulfilled promise that they would on TV together one day, he decided to enter the entertainment industry as a talent scout.

The first actress he cultivated was Teresa Valentine, who later became his wife.

He also learned to direct films, although his films weren't successful at first.

"PornStar Family"

In fact, about his marriage with Teresa, Teresa was compelled, after she found out she was pregnant. Lovelace threatened her to marry him, or he would spread their intimate photos he took.

Lovelace consider marriage and family methods to control relationships. Maybe because of his forgotten past, he subconsciously wanted to fully control the situation. If he married Teresa, she, along with her kid(s), would be his. He could "own" them.

Lovelace made his kids enter the movie industry since childhood. Meanwhile, in the wake of "the Golden Era of Porn", he started to direct porn.

Although Teresa's surname had to be changed into "Firror", the public kept calling her "Teresa Valentine", as if it was her stage name. This irritated Lovelace sometimes. So, when deciding on his stage name as a porn director, he chose "Valentino". In his opinion, it was like "stealing" the name.

Lovelace started to go to extremes, and the life of the family started to be like hell.

Warning: Mention of domestic abuse, S/A in this [separated post]. Read at your own risk.

Teresa and the sons, Felix and Anthony, were all traumatized.

In the end, Teresa committed suicide, and his elder son, Anthony murdered Lovelace with razor wire.

StaticMoth Reunion in Hell

Lovelace, or Valentino, arrived in hell few days before an extermination. He found a temporary shelter to keep him safe.

On the extermination day, Vox was seriously injured and escaped into Val's shelter by accident. Although Val didn't know that Vox is Ted, he decided to let him stay until he recovered.

Vox and Valentino became closer day by day, and they made up their mind to become Overlords together.

Rivalry with Marquis de Sade

However, Valentino's path to become the Overlord of Sex wasn't easy, for there has been one already: Marquis de Sade, the Literature Overlord.

Valentino once asked Marquis for his manuscript so he could adapt them into porn, but Marquis despised him and turned him down.

Valentino and Vox came up with a plan to destroy Marquis: Vox guided the excorcists to Marquis' territory during an extermination day (Vox hid behind the TVs); thus, nearly all of the souls owned by Marquis was killed, including Marquis' two sons. Marquis himself was badly injured as well.

Valentino stole the manuscripts after that extermination, but Marquis threw an angelic spear he picked at Valentino, wounding his antenna.

From then on, the public believed that Marquis had died, and that Valentino was the new "Overlord of Sex". However, they didn't know that hewas actually hidden, waiting for revenge.

Family reunion?

After Valentino found out his sons, Feloncio and Fonix, arrived in hell and worked for Vox, he asked Vox to lay them off so that Valentino can deal with his sons in person.

TBC

Trivia

(just the headcanon part)

Lovelace had a moth tattoo on his right arm.

Val hates to talk about his past. Those who know his past are his acquaintances when he was alive. If they spill the beans, Val would kill them.

Due to Val's poor eyesight, he isn't aware that Vox wears the same clothes as Ted Vision, thus recognizing him.

Val isn't immune to his aphrodisac saliva. It is his curse, making him unable to understand the true meaning and feeling of love and lust, culz he has been mesmerized by his own saliva.

Although Val lost his memory about his childhood of servitude, he sometimes has nightmares about it once he loses the control of his status quo.

Name Origin & Animal Concept

Lovelace: A nickname for a dandy fond of lace; homophonic with "loveless". It's also the stage name of a famous pornstar during 1970s: Linda Lovelace.

Firror: I created this surname. It's homophonic with "failure" — His life was fucked up, and he continued to fuck up others' lives with his abuse.

Moth: Moths are commonly known with "metamorphosis". The Valentino in my AU also went on a metamorphosis, from a slave to a pimp. Also, I took some reference from "Metamorphosis" (177013). That's one of the reasons I gave Lovelace two braids. (another reason is to match his antennas)

[p5x-theories]

Discussion: Which P5X character do you think would work best as a member of the original Phantom Thieves?

It can be for any reason, something like character dynamics, powers, or even just a design fitting in.

Oh, that’s a good question! And a tough one, hmm... I might actually break this down based on different categories, rather than just one character across the board?

Because, to start out, from a story perspective, I think Puppet might be the easiest one to literally fit into something like an additional Palace within the P5 storyline.

She’s a politician’s daughter, which sort of reflects Haru except that Haru’s dad hadn’t quite actually made it into politics yet. Puppet’s family, or maybe at least someone causing problems for Puppet’s family, could potentially be someone the Phantom Thieves come across in between Okumura and Sae’s Palaces, or something. (Though, in the meta sense, that probably would’ve slowed down the plot momentum at that point. But strictly in terms of something you could slot reasonably into the story)

Puppet ran away from home, as well, which could potentially provide the deadline for changing, for instance, her father’s heart (days until her father involves the police/starts a search for her, or something)

As for character dynamics, I think- okay, there’s no way to answer this one totally unbiased, haha, and it’s also tricky because it’s really easy to favor characters we know more about. So I’ll go about it this way:

Tomoko, Kiyoshi, Kayo, Yaoling, and Yui currently feel the least like the characters that are already in the Phantom Thieves, to me, so they’d be the most likely to introduce something new into the group? 

Tomoko parallels Shiho, who’s not on the team (though, as Ann’s friend, isn’t completely separate)

None of the PT are chuunibyou like Kiyoshi seems to be (not to mention an excorcist theme might be kind of funny alongside Makoto)

We don’t have any adult women on the team, across the P5 games, and Kayo in particular doesn’t overlap any existing teammate too much (maybe Ann is the closest, but they’re distinct)

Yaoling is from another country, and generally seems to have a slightly different demeanor than any single current member of the PT

Yui’s inherently interesting as a teammate who we haven’t met in person, and even her Will of Rebellion is based on her online game character

I know I also talked about character dynamics that I could imagine between the Wonder Squad and the Phantom Thieves in this post, haha, though that was during the second beta

Design-wise is another one that’s sort of subjective, though Wonder might be the automatic winner by default considering he literally has the same character designer, heh. That said:

There’s sort of a Phantom Thieves general color scheme pattern of primarily black/a dark color + a bright, saturated color. Obviously not every one of the Thieves fits this perfectly (Panther, you could argue Fox, prince Crow, Sophie, and however you might want to categorize Toshiro and/or Erina), but enough of them do that it’s sort of what I think for it. So going from there: 

Okyann, with her black and yellow

Puppet, with her black/grey and blue/cyan

Rin, with her black/dark brown and red

Maybe Soy and Moko, though I feel they maybe disrupt the color balance there a bit

On the other hand, there’s also just who feels most like a Phantom Thief, which is way more subjective, but for me, I’d probably list Moko (in a Robin Hood sort of way), Yuki (she puts the “phantom” in “Phantom Thief”), Okyann (she’s adjacent to like a heist/villainess cat suit, to me), Rin (she feels very “phantom thief but with clear Chinese influence”), and maybe Sepia but in kind of an “adult man who threw together the best Phantom Thief outfit he could on short notice from a costume store to try to impress the teens” sort of way, haha

As for powers, that one’s kinda tricky, since their powers literally are more unique and less “standardized” (so to speak) than the ones in the mainline Persona games, with more unique features. And I don’t have a super great grasp on all the differences yet, let alone what unique things the original Phantom Thieves themselves have been given, so it’s hard to say what might fit in best? So I might skip that category, if that’s alright, haha.

But definitely feel free to reply/reblog this with your own ideas, if you’re seeing this post and thinking something else!

I wanted to do this since you first done it to me - and I think now is the time! FRAUREVIEWS here we go! Alastor found words to be harsher than the switch and was more than familiar with the sting of both. Though the switch was a boy’s punishment… A closed fist was more suitable for raising a man.

Starting off sobbing - I'm done fore already oh no! :'<

Hushed words of comfort spoken into the crown of Alastor’s head to soothe in tandem as they both shook from the force of the demon’s sorrow.

“I’ve got you. Shh, honey, I’ve got you.”

I am melting 🫠 nooo why is this so heartbreaking and sweet at the same time?!

Must they be plagued by the ignorance and rejection of their fathers for eternity? The cost of the scorn they’d endured seemed to grow ever higher some days.

Those goddamn Daddy Issues 🥲

“Let me clean your face, love. You’ll get a rash if you stay there,” Lucifer chided softly, manifesting a warm, damp handkerchief as he bent down to kiss Alastor's forehead for good measure.

SOFT LUCI IS THE BEST KIND OF LUCI I want to bite in my shirt RAAAAH

You’ll find someone special someday, mon amour.

Alastor was grateful for his mother’s memory, and wondered — not for the first time — what she would think of Lucifer.

NOT THE MENTION OF ALASTORS MOM?! 😭😭😭 Mink, what you do to me...

But he never left the sanatorium without receiving her prayers; his large, warm hands looking almost comical in her frail, cold grasp. Her hold on him was as fervent as the words and wishes she spoke to someone Alastor knew wasn’t listening. Though that didn’t make the act any less sincere or appreciated.

My heart - my poor heart!!!!

Perhaps it was the musician in Alastor subconsciously rising to the task, but Lucifer would never cease to be caught flat-footed by the demon’s impeccable timing. How Alastor’s fingers managed to perfectly sync with his kisses was a feat Lucifer could only describe as divine.

Jesus Christ, the rollercoaster is starting to rollercoasting... I'm going to feel dizzy 🫣

The silver lining of Lucifer’s descent was heavily in Alastor’s favor. Had Lucifer remained God’s favorite, he’d be in Heaven — a place Alastor had never planned to be. In truth, he never intended to be in Hell either, which is where luck came into play. He wasn’t destined for mortal companionship, but for something transcendent. Not a god to worship, but a sin. A king.

CALL 911 I AM HAVING A STROKE.

“I’m unworthy of your benevolence,” Alastor lamented, desperately kissing and kneading the supple skin of Lucifer’s chest. “But I’m devoted to you, always.”

Doctor: "She's flatlined - we need the defibrillator!" Frau:

An offering of gratitude and declaration of fidelity in a language they shared when words failed. When adoration was beyond articulation and the only thing strong enough to quell their aching hearts was propinquity. The evening had started with Alastor falling apart in Lucifer’s lap… but it would end with Lucifer falling apart in Alastor’s hands.

I am deceased. Don't send flowers, send an excorcist because I am coming back as a poltergeist to read it again and again...

Healing each other one day at a time.

WHAT. AN. ENDING. What a bittersweet closing line flashing the screen as they carry my coffin out of my house. 💀

Truly a masterfully written piece of angst and comfort, a radioapple must-read, Mink! I stand in awe of your talent, and truly am HONORED to have given the fortune of naming it with you!!!

It was surprising, even to himself.

Alastor couldn’t recall the last time he had cried, much less in front of a witness. Composure and a display of strength were hard-won attributes he had built upon himself. Each unpleasant memory in his mind was a brick in his fortification; the tears he denied himself to shed the mortar between them.

He hadn’t always followed his own code of conduct and taken the ugliness of life on the chin. Before he had found his own strength, he could admit to being swayed by the will of others. Alastor found words to be harsher than the switch and was more than familiar with the sting of both. Though the switch was a boy’s punishment… A closed fist was more suitable for raising a man.

Or so his father had thought.

Mama’s boy… Just my luck. I got me a mama’s boy... C’mere you little pansy!

The repulsion in his father’s words hadn’t lost any of its potency, even after all this time. Alastor recalled them with more clarity than the face of the man they came from, which only served to plunge him further in his despair. Hadn’t he proven his resilience? Not only in body, but in mind and spirit? Perhaps not as much as he thought, with the way he was sobbing. If his father could see him now — bereft of stoicism and drenched in tears, drool, and mucus — he’d have been absolutely disgusted. Alastor loathed how much that bothered him. The fear of inadequacy lurching in his gut like a bad tonic.

Hot, angry tears flowed down the streaks that shame had carved on his face. Not that Lucifer would be able tell the difference with the way Alastor had burrowed into his chest. It was merely a fresh bout for the candy-striped vest to soak up. The saline fabric was beginning to chafe Alastor’s face, but he didn’t feel ready to surface; arms tightening around his lover’s waist as his hands gripped Lucifer with a desperation he assumed was buried long ago with his innocence.

Stop hidin’ behind your mama and come take your whoopin’ like a man!

Alastor choked on another sob and gasped for breath, heaving in Lucifer’s arms as the angel held him firmly. Gloved hands petting red hair and anguished, downcast ears. Hushed words of comfort spoken into the crown of Alastor’s head to soothe in tandem as they both shook from the force of the demon’s sorrow.

“I’ve got you. Shh, honey, I’ve got you.”

So much love conveyed in so few words. Alastor still grappled with accepting it. Evidenced by more tears fighting their way through his clenched eyes and a muffled, heart-wrenching cry into Lucifer’s chest. The pain of it went straight through the King’s heart as he pressed a firm kiss to Alastor’s head, feeling the distress on his face as he did so. How he wished to unburden the demon of his suffering. More than anyone, Lucifer could understand what it was like to be wracked with such melancholy.

If only Alastor could remember what had set him off, if he had, in fact, been triggered at all. He had just woken up this morning feeling low. Why was he dwelling so much on things that were better left to the past? Unbeknownst to either of them, they were sharing the same thought. And both knew that dwelling on things that couldn’t be changed did nothing other than inflict harm. Must they be plagued by the ignorance and rejection of their fathers for eternity? The cost of the scorn they’d endured seemed to grow ever higher some days.

That was one of the first things they had bonded over, sharing self-deprecating laughter to hide from their aching wounds. When love is built on a foundation of hurt, it’s only a matter of time before the walls crumble. Most times they were Lucifer’s, and sad as it was, it felt much easier to navigate. The angel was much more comfortable wearing his feelings, after all, and he’d had millennia of experience weathering his storms. Alastor was no stranger to being the shoulder to cry on. If anything, it came to him too naturally; a trait he couldn’t be sure was born in him or a side-effect of the wall he had built.

When Alastor buckled under the weight of his grief, it was devastating. He repressed himself for such long bouts of time that the force of his woe had the impact of an avalanche. Sadness, anger, shame, and regret cascading through his lithe frame until he was utterly hollowed out. Lucifer’s task of mending him was only beginning, he knew. It would be days before Alastor returned to himself, but he was more than willing to put in the work. Stitching his love back together with his needle of assurance and thread of devotion.

It was impossible to tell how long they spent this way. Alastor kneeling on the floor between Lucifer’s legs, knees sore and body aching, face still smothered in the drenched clothes donning the angel’s chest. Lucifer on the sofa in their bedroom, comforting the demon with every ounce of strength he could muster.

Until finally the tears stopped, replaced with uneven, sometimes stuttering breaths and hiccups. And soon enough those were gone too. Lucifer’s right hand rubbing Alastor’s back as his left cradled Alastor’s head. Before long, the demon was stirring. Sniffling a bit as he nuzzled his face into the mess of fluids he had left on the King’s vest and shirt. Lucifer didn’t mind, knowing that he could have it all gone with a snap of his fingers, but it wouldn’t do any good for Alastor to try wiping his face on his clothes in the state they were in.

“Let me clean your face, love. You’ll get a rash if you stay there,” Lucifer chided softly, manifesting a warm, damp handkerchief as he bent down to kiss Alastor's forehead for good measure.

It wasn’t a very convincing threat, both of them knowing that if Alastor did suffer a rash Lucifer would heal it in an instant. But Alastor conceded, and gingerly peeled himself away from the safety of the angel’s chest. His poor face was raw from tears, eyelids chapped red with irritation; dried salt crusted his cheeks like the vestiges of sea foam on the shore.

Alastor knew he looked awful. He could see himself reflected in Lucifer’s eyes proving as much. Every bit of moisture his body had was soaked into Lucifer’s chest, and he could feel the headache promised by dehydration blooming in his forehead. He was wrung out and exhausted but nearly began crying again, too moved by the tender act as Lucifer gently wiped his face. His Sire hushed him, voice calm and gaze full of adoration. Not even bothering to clean himself up before ensuring that Alastor was taken care of first.

The swell of affection Alastor felt in that moment was overwhelming, and he swallowed thickly as he closed his eyes, succumbing to the comfort of his lover’s hands tending to him. His father’s cruel words fading into darkness with every soft swipe of the warm cloth.

You’ll find someone special someday, mon amour.

Alastor was grateful for his mother’s memory, and wondered — not for the first time — what she would think of Lucifer. She had been a God-fearing woman, after all. A fear that she did not pass down to her son, choice of partner aside. He had turned his back on God long before his eyes had set their sight on the fallen angel. If she could see him from Heaven, he hoped that she would be happy. The Devil wasn’t all he was made out to be, if the way he cherished Alastor wasn’t proof enough.

His mother never pestered him about settling down, but worried for him deeply when they realized that she was sick and wouldn’t be getting better. Alastor was self-sufficient by then, with a year of working at the local radio station under his belt. Not that he didn’t take her concern to heart. If anything, when it came to her, he took things all too seriously. He wasn’t weighed down by the need for partnership or marriage, especially not when his career still had traction to gain. Alastor would try to tell her as much, assure her that she had nothing to worry about, and they would drop the subject and speak of other things. But he never left the sanatorium without receiving her prayers; his large, warm hands looking almost comical in her frail, cold grasp. Her hold on him was as fervent as the words and wishes she spoke to someone Alastor knew wasn’t listening. Though that didn’t make the act any less sincere or appreciated.

It was a brand of care Alastor thought he would never know again after his mother finally succumbed to her illness. The near-decade that passed after this had only cemented that fact. He didn’t seek companionship nor did he deny it when the mood struck. But beyond his small circle of friends, Alastor was content with his solitary life. Besides, a partner or spouse would have only made his nighttime affairs much harder to juggle — if not damn near impossible — and having the reputation of an elusive bachelor only helped with his fan base when it came to his radio segment.

It wasn’t until Lucifer had broken through his defenses that Alastor understood how he had barricaded himself from the world. And that he wanted support and comfort and understanding more than he cared to admit.

There are things you need that you can’t take care of on your own.

Basked in the warmth of Lucifer’s affection and his mother’s memory, Alastor hummed and opened his eyes, a tired smile curling his lips. Lucifer smiled back at him, expression benevolent and soft as his hands found their way back into Alastor’s hair to resume their petting. And grateful as he was, Alastor couldn’t ignore that Lucifer had yet to address the mess setting into his clothes. He fought against the pain as he uncurled his fingers, stiff from the grip on Lucifer’s waist, and silently began unbuttoning the candy-striped vest he had come to adore as the angel’s signature.

“Hey, you don’t have to —”

Alastor stopped him with a kiss, his fingers continuing their work as Lucifer sighed against his lips. The tension in both their bodies deflating as they shared hungry pecks and inhaled each other’s breath. All the while, Alastor’s hands remained busy with the undoing of buttons. First on the vest, then on the white shirt beneath it. Each open button providing relief like the snapping of a taut string.

Perhaps it was the musician in Alastor subconsciously rising to the task, but Lucifer would never cease to be caught flat-footed by the demon’s impeccable timing. How Alastor’s fingers managed to perfectly sync with his kisses was a feat Lucifer could only describe as divine. As if the acts were always meant to be one, never separate. It made the golden blood in his body turn molten; roiling through his veins as he sighed and chased every touch with relish. He was not often given these affections without needing to ask, whether with a look or an outright plea. Games that Lucifer was content to play, knowing that anticipation and a good tease left them both more than satiated.

With the collar of Lucifer’s shirt loosened, Alastor straightened his back and bent his neck to suckle and kiss down the angel’s pristine throat. The demon took his time with this, hoping to convey his gratitude and desire with every press of his lips against the milky skin beneath them. When Alastor made it to the junction between neck and shoulder, he was unable to resist the urge to sink his teeth in; the flesh yielding to his fangs like a ripened peach, and the nectar that soon coated his tongue was a gift in itself.

Lucifer hissed through the bite, hips jerking in space between them as Alastor groaned and languidly sucked and licked the blood rising from the wound. With his hands free from buttons, Alastor let them explore. How he adored the feeling of Lucifer’s small frame beneath them. Endlessly fascinated by the twitches and sounds he could elicit from the angel with little more than the slightest drag of his claws against sensitive skin.

Alastor released himself from Lucifer’s neck with a salacious pop and licked his lips for good measure. The whine that escaped Lucifer from the action had Alastor’s ears and groin at attention. The low creaking sound of antlers branching out mingled with their shallow breath. Alastor’s crimson eyes drank in the almost bashful look on Lucifer’s face, accented by a golden flush that made his abdomen tight with hunger.

How lucky he was, truly.

The silver lining of Lucifer’s descent was heavily in Alastor’s favor. Had Lucifer remained God’s favorite, he’d be in Heaven — a place Alastor had never planned to be. In truth, he never intended to be in Hell either, which is where luck came into play. He wasn’t destined for mortal companionship, but for something transcendent. Not a god to worship, but a sin. A king.

An angel.

“I’m unworthy of your benevolence,” Alastor lamented, desperately kissing and kneading the supple skin of Lucifer’s chest. “But I’m devoted to you, always.”

It was a sentiment he had expressed before, feeling much like Mary Magdalene washing Jesus’ feet with her tears. But it made Lucifer’s heart jump all the same; its rapid beat calling to Alastor like a siren from under skin and bone as his teeth latched to Lucifer’s breast. Their pleasured moans harmonized as Lucifer cupped the back of Alastor's head, encouraging him to continue with a whisper of his name. Alastor happily obliged. Tongue lapping at the pert nipple, hot and fervent, as his mouth and teeth provided a deliciously sharp suction, drawing out the ambrosia in Lucifer’s veins.

Lucifer struggled to remain cognisant, lost and overwhelmed as Alastor’s mouth peppered a trail of kisses from right to left. Alastor shifted slightly between Lucifer’s legs as teeth sunk into the top of his left pectoral just as Alastor’s left hand palmed his groin. The wanton cry that echoed off the walls of their bedroom only served to make Alastor desperate for more. Eagerly succumbing to his need to worship the angel, the agony he had suffered earlier behind him but not forgotten.

An offering of gratitude and declaration of fidelity in a language they shared when words failed. When adoration was beyond articulation and the only thing strong enough to quell their aching hearts was propinquity. The evening had started with Alastor falling apart in Lucifer’s lap… but it would end with Lucifer falling apart in Alastor’s hands.

And they would wake in the morning with tangled hair in wrinkled sheets. Sharing hushed jokes and lazy kisses as the early morning sun colored their room in a hazy, pink glow.

Healing each other one day at a time.

So my catechist was talking to that one girl from my class who wants to study psychology (one of the girls i've talked about in one of my previous posts) and she did mentioned that "hey, this job can be really tough, it's more than you think it is" and i was like YES FINALLY SOMEBODY GETS IT and then she was just like "you need to know that good psychatrist needs to also be in contact with a good excorcist" and tbh i don't even fucking know what i except from catholics at this point, i should have known better.

[ckret2]

Is it okay if I share this to you: I think both Striker and Stella are gonna backstab and kill each other. Striker is obvious, he already offed Stolas so why would he stop there when Stella and Octavia, two people who could easily take Stolas' position after he dies, are there? If he's gonna depose the higher ups, might as well continue with Stella and Octavia. Meanwhile, I think Stella would immediately try to kill Striker after he kills Stolas cuz 1) he already showed himself to be capable of taking down a high-ranking demon and she doesn't want that running around + eventually, it'll traced back to her 2) she already armed him with an excorcist weapon and again, the higher ups will find out that she supplied him with the weapons and she'll be in deep trouble and 3) if she genuinely cares about Octavia, she wouldn't want an imp capable of taking down her powerful husband killing her and her daughter.

Also, I think it would be fun if we get a fight scene between Striker and Stella, especially if it's proven that, while she isn't as strong as Stolas, Stella can put up a fight.

Love how this ask is phrased as if Stolas has been killed. Like, not only as if it's guaranteed but also as if it's already occurred.

I could definitely see them turning on each other—how violent it gets depends only on how much time they get together for their dislike of each other to escalate. (And I do assume they dislike each other; we already know each dislikes what the other one IS.)

But Stella doesn't strike me as the type to, like, see Striker as a real threatz I have a hard time imagining her regarding imps as full people with their own interior lives, she probably thinks she paid him to do a thing and once he's done the thing he's no longer relevant to her life. And I also doubt that Hell's nobility would care that much about an assassination as long as the person who ordered it is of equal rank and isn't a threat to the rest of them, and anyway she's not taking out political rivals or anything, she's ONLY murdering her OWN husband, no big deal!! So I don't think Stella is likely to attack Striker first, at least not out of self-defense for herself or her daughter. (She doesn't seem particularly close to Octavia; maybe a maternal side will come out later, but I'm betting not.) But I could see her getting offended by something he said and attacking him out of anger.

Otherwise, Striker's the one most likely to start it—and I agree with your reasoning why. If it's not specifically to get the whole owl family out of the way, it'd be to get his hands on something he needs to go through them to obtain. Maybe to keep the guns Stella provided him, maybe to grab the grimoire, etc.

I doubt it'll happen after Stolas dies, though—mainly because, as I mentioned in a prior post, I don't think he's gonna die. I think he'll be in peril, possibly at worst he'll get a near fatal injury or try to sacrifice himself to protect someone else, but Helluva Boss doesn't in the least strike me as the kind of narrative that would kill off the main character's love interest. If Stella and Striker fight, at best it's gonna be after thinking they've just killed Stolas. Or after taking him hostage (to bargain for the grimoire that IMP currently has, maybe?) and getting into an argument because they hate working together this closely. Or after narrowly failing an assassination attempt and taking out their frustration on each other. Etc.

And why stop at making Stella not as strong as Stolas? Make 'em equal! The only argument I can think of in favor of not making her as strong is "well if she's just as strong, why doesn't she kill Stolas herself?" But if she WANTED to kill Stolas herself, she could have just used that angelic gun instead of giving it to Striker. She didn't hire an assassin because she can't kill her husband herself but because she doesn't want to. Maybe for political reasons, maybe just because she thinks violence is a boorish chore that the help should do. So if there's no plot reason for her to be weaker, let her be equally strong.

I was re reading dgm chapters and got to the part where Chaoji said he was going to fight Allen. That got me thinking, could Innocence refuse to hurt Allen? There's a lot of gray and unknown areas right now in what we know. But what we do know is Apocryphos and the Heart are very invested in Allen's survival no matter what. They consider him more connected to the Innocence then anyone else. The times Allen was hurt by Innocence was when he impaled himself and later when Kanda stabbed him. -

2 both times happened before the Apocryphos approached Allen. CC will act on It's own, even against Allen's wishes, to protect him no matter what. You could even say CC alerting Apocryphos to where Allen is is it's way of saving Allen from erosion of the 14th. Even Kanda stated CC's attachment for Allen seems unnatural. We also know even regular Innocence is at least somewhat sentient. Considering the Heart and Apocryphos can control/influence any Innocence. I bet if they wanted to they could-

3 stop any Innocence from activating. Who knows they might even have the Innocence turn on it's user and make them into a fallen one for 'betraying' the Heart's wishes by trying to kill Allen. Kanda dropped Mugen when he left w/Alma. But when he re bonded w/Mugen he started showing signs of falling (granted it's probably other reasons. But it's still something Kanda is falling while promising to kill Allen if it comes to it. While Allen isn't falling at all despite being a fugitive/Noah and-4 denying the Apocryphos, CC and the Heart's way of saving him from Nea). Over all it looks like a interesting route to consider. Allen is possibly the only human Innocence truly loves/desires to keep alive for unknown purposes (side note: also don't think we're ever getting a Allen vs Chaoji fight. If anything I see a lot of foreshadowing for a Krory vs Chaoji fight. Both keep getting more unhappy/angry w/the other). I'll be curious if there's repercussions for Excorcists attacking Allen.

That’s... a very good question actually. 

Like you say, I think every innocence is kinda sentient. And they all follow their own rules and own stuff. For exemple when I see how Lenalee’s innocence acts I can totally see a very bitter innocence being all “I chose you, I do all those things to protect you and you hate me? wow okay screw you try to survive without me for a few days, we’ll see how much you hate me when you need me huh.”In opposition to Miranda’s innocence that was so gentle with her and just went “shhhh no need to keep fighting i’m with you, i’ll make it easy for you and give you your wish” for exemple. 

Like there’s a lot to be said about each and every single’s innocence’s “sentientness”. Lenalee and Miranda are the best exemple because they’re complete opposite extreme, but if you look at the others too: Suman became a fallen because he told a Noah where to find others Exorcists while he was under threat of death. also if i remember there were talks about how he wasn’t 100% compatible with his innocence. So the innocence took the betrayal very badly. Meanwhile we have Kanda’s “fallen” statue slowly settling in, of the innocence more.... sending warning signals of “you’re playing too close with fire.”

(In fact Kanda’s innocence sentientness is interesting in the Alma arc: we see the science division tried to force the connection between the innocence and Kanda which the innocence hated enough to hurt Kanda. When Kanda was in tears, remembering his past, the innocence willingly approched him quietly. Perhaps like an old dog seeing his master back again after having been left on the side of the road, unable to trust anyone else, not being aware it wasn’t his master’s choice. If you feel my analogy there.)

I think those are the major ones where the innocence seems to be sentient on its own, without even mentioning the Heart or passive sentient-ness we might not know about.

And then we have CC, definitly the most sentient one of them all. An innocence which remained alive after being destroyed, which changed shape as Allen’s evolved, and, who despite Allen turning into a Noah, is somewhat still supporting Allen, even if it wavers sometimes. There’s something with this innocence that seems so.... Kind to me? As in, it’s understanding of Allen’s circumstances and is trying to help him, to adjust with him. It seems to have Allen’s wellbeing to heart.

Now like you say (bc i’m only just rambling and expending on what you say there kdjhfd) we have Apocryphos and the Heart. We KNOW the Heart can act on the innocences around it and changes them - the Earl says that the Heart had been retrived by the end of the Ark’s arc and that it “is creating dummies to hide itself among the others”. So the Heart is sentient enough to affect the innocences around it (and at this point Lenalee’s and Allen’s were the one who majorly evolved, and Krory’s was.. quite unusual too).

Apocryphos is made of pure Innocence. He works for the Heart. But it depends also how much he is actually connected to the Heart. 

You’re right tho that CC seems to warn Apocryphos, but it also doesn’t make a lot of efforts for Apocryphos to catch Allen either. it seems CC is really walking this line of “doing this for Allen’s sake” rather than against the Noah inside him or for Apocryphos’s sake. 

As for why.. how.... Who knows. But it is interesting to consider that the innocence mirrored the Earl. The huge cape around Allen echos the Earl’s suit, especially with how it warps around them, and the sword is an ultimate give away. We know Nea used the same sword before though and that’s where it becomes blurry - is the innocence doing that because of the Nea’s memories, because of the deep connection between Allen and Mana, or for another reason? 

So.. ye CC is definitly being weird, and we don’t know enough to truly nail down why it’s happening. But also I think that if CC knows about Allen’s connection to the Noah but also knows that Allen’s heart is pure of intention and that he wants to save people more than anyone else (a lot of people just want to stop the war, some had been wrapped into it against their will. Allen wants to save people, and want to save Akuma’s souls as well.). Therefore CC might trust Allen to be worth of all the kind of protection.

And that’s not to mention we don’t really know when this innocence appeared do we? Did Past!Allen have it or did the innocence find Allen after he grew younger? If the later: Why? Did it see Allen’s potential? If the former: How did Past!Allen get an innocence willing to go through all of this with him? What was Past!Allen’s deal?

So it’s. tricky. and i guess we wo’nt know more unless we gt more expended stuff on the innocence orz

(and you have a good point. Tbh I do think Chaoji and Allen are buidling up to something, not because of Chaoji’s recent development but because the turning point for Chaoji was when he was ready to let Allen to die when Allen tried to save Tyki during the Ark’s collapse. This is to me the moment that means they might face each other at some point because that beef was here for a while. But you’re right in term of recent events: Chaoji being on Allen’s track doesn’t seem to me lie it will have them face each other. It does seem to build up more toward Krory (and perhaps even the rest of the exorcists) to face Chaoji and refuse to give up on Allen. This would be one of the ultimate test of loyauty toward Allen. And lately with both Krory and Chaoji on Allen’s track, Krory who loves Allen so much and Chaoji who have resentment against him even before it was known he was part Noah - seems to make for a perfect foild for the time to come. But gods know what will happen then...)

Take care!

TOP 5: The Highest Grossing Horror Movies of All Time (Will Surprise You!)

Spoiler alert, King Kong’s not on the list. I just thought the imagery of a monster at the top of a skyscraper was a nice metaphor. Also, Kong is cool. ( 2nd Also, King Kong does place on the overall list of Top Grossing Films of all time, sitting pretty at #252).

Horror movies have been in the Box Office news a lot as of late. After the abnormally large turnout of audiences clamoring for Pennywise the Clown in Andy Muschietti’s It last fall – horror fans can’t seem to get enough. We’ve seen a number of films breaking records and scoring the big dough (normally reserved for super-hero super-groups, and things that look like cars beating up other things that look like cars); Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Christopher Landon’s Happy Death Day, M. Night Shyamalon’s Split, David F. Sandberg’s Annabelle: Creation, and of course, good ol’ Guillermo del Toro’s little creature-feature-that-could, The Shape of Water (which I am including because Guillermo is ours Hollywood, and you can’t have him).

But how do modern day horror films rank among the classic films that drove terrified audiences to and from the cinema, shaking in their pre-television boots? Well, when you adjust for inflation, the answer is… not the greatest. Cinema numbers nowadays are beefed up by premium ticket sales; 3D, IMAX, DBOX, and those fancy theatres that promise no screaming babies and let you order spring rolls right to your seat. They don’t hold a candle to the films that generated so much word of mouth and buzz, that audiences – horror fans or not – couldn’t stray from seeing the film on the big screen.

I’m sure one day soon we’ll see a post-2000’s title top this list, but for now, our top 5 horror films are titles that quaked through generations of moviegoers. Here are the Top 5 Highest Grossing Horror Movies of All Time..

  Top 5 Highest Grossing Horror Movies of All Time

How did the Top Grossing Horror Films fare in the overall charts (compared to every film in existence, regardless of genre)?

Trailing a bit behind are The Sixth Sense at #70, The Rocky Horror Picture Show at #81, and House of Wax at #105.

All box office grosses from Box Office Mojo. Honorable mentions; Rear Window (#6, #106 overall), Young Frankenstein (#7, #129 overall), Gremlins (#8, #131 overall), Psycho (#9, #156 Overall), and Signs (#10, #195 Overall).

Ah.

There's the bloodshed.

Her excorcists had always been combative creatures, but it had been a long time since she'd last seen one take a spear to one of their own. Not to mention the flagrant lack of basic decorum. The lieutenant in her almost wants to chuff in disdain at the display.

But she refrains, folding her gloved hands behind the small of her back as she presses onward, deeper inside the compound and closer to the belligerent excorcist.

Something is not right here.

"Do you need a hand?"

Finally, she speaks up.

"With the body."

Better play along with whatever insanity has taken root in this place, lest she rouse suspicion.

The earthen task force had arrived, just as she'd expected and with the investigation in full swing right from the get-go, she'd been able to slip through their portal unnoticed.

Eluthéria re-emerges inside an empty office space somewhere within the bowels of the establishment.

that empty feeling is so much more stifling on this side. She can't sense anybody she's familiar with—save for him, of course.

No immediate sign of bloodshed. Everything appears to be in perfect order, on a surface level.

It's all so very strange...
