I finished Hazbin a bit ago and call me crazy but I honestly hope Sir Pentious' ascension had nothing to do with redemption as a concept.

I hope it was just a glitch in the matrix from like, the raw, holy power of Adam's laser blast + whatever magical artillery Pentious had revved up at the helm of his ship. I just think it would be VERY funny if Adam accidentally baptized some guy so hard he rebooted him to Heaven.

#hazbin hotel #I know they won't go this direction because they've got like four seasons planned and this would eliminate the show's ability to like #cycle through sinners as they're redeemed #which would kill the show's formula/momentum #but yeah Hazbin brought back memories of my Warriors AU about a cat trying to blunt force redeem her way into StarClan #and since hell and heaven became like...a metaphor for class stratification...cough #the main character ultimately realized she could never play the game well enough to get into StarClan #because the POINT of the game was to keep cats like her out of StarClan #when 'redemption' and 'sin' are defined by the privileged class...what does success within that system look like #so in the end the main character and a coalition of cats shift their focus away from 'redemption'#and towards community building in cat hell lol #like...providing support for their neighbors #with the goal of eventually overturning the game itself (as oppose to figuring out how to win)#That's a LONG way of saying I prefer redemption stories which interrogate the concept of redemption itself #...and come away with the conclusion that it's all bullshit lmao #totally a preference thing and I'll still enjoy Hazbin regardless
