#vaggie and sir pentious overcompensate in attachment to people that show them kindness

[cornix-the-void-crow]

Chose "results" for similar reasons:

Alastor - mixed race kid in very tumultuous and racist time period and quite likely to have something going on with his mind. Also ace and possibly aro without knowledge of it at the time, and people get really weird about relationships even as children

Angel Dust - effeminate gay guy also in time period hostile towards him. Also at same time period when Angel was a kid Italians experienced discrimination in US as well

Charlie - as above mentioned, she would have been bullied a lot in Hellborn school. She is bullied a lot now, as a young adult. The fact that she kept her enthusiasm and energy is testament of her strength

Husk - now here I would rely on a lot of fandom sentiments and speculations as well as personal headcanons. He was born in essentially budding Las Vegas, age-wise. At the moment in fandom it is assumed he is black or mixed race, in same period as Alastor. During pilot days he was often headcanoned as Russian (even if it hardly made a lot of sense timeline-wise), which would also contribute to possible bullying. My personal headcanon of him having vitiligo would also add to that.

Lucifer - in the opening he is literally described being bullied by heavens even before the fall or apple debacle. I am not sure angels even have childhood, but in a sense, he was bullied in the text

Nifty - assumed to be Japanese or part Japanese. She died in 1950s in her 20s. After ww2. You do know what was happening with Japanese Americans during ww2, don't you? And in general sentiment towards Asian Americans before that, at that time and after that? Also she is very excitable and loud and plays with unconventional materials and in unconventional ways, which would indicate that quite likely she was also not accepted by Japanese Americans as well, as it goes against the societal norms in a lot of aspects of Japanese society and culture

Sir Pentious - his validation-seeking behaviour is quite indicative of bullying, but I haven't analysed him as much to say more

Vaggie - in same vein as Lucifer, I am not sure exorcists even had childhood, but also it's quite possible, with the speed that Lute turned on her and presumption that she was really good at exorcist job, that she was treated similarly to how children treat classmates that are too smart or competent. Just watching for an opportunity to see the slip and stumble. Pointing out every mistake and imperfection.

But bullying can affect people differently, and people can deal with it differently. We don't see the bullying itself of them as children, only effects of it (and bullying in the adulthood with Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer and Pentious), so it's really hard to compare.

In the end, they are all bullied by Heaven
