#which im waiting on getting responses for

[fresnel-lensed]

that's not even the private landlords, that's local councils and housing associations who house the most vulnerable marginalised people in the country. to move out you need to either wait until you're at the top of the waiting list (can take a decade or more) or have a bad living situation. mould is not considered a particularly bad living situation. my kid was 3 at the time Awaab died and that could have been my kid.

the housing association flat I used to live in had really bad mould in all the rooms. they had had to redo the cladding on the outside of the building to comply with EU energy efficiency laws but this meant the flats didn't breathe, there was no air circulation. I had a rug in the living room once and it went mouldy, the laminate floor went mouldy, it was so damp the wallpaper peeled off the walls, there was no point in buying new furniture bc it just went mouldy.

the housing association just told me to not put furniture against the walls (it still went mouldy). they sent people round several times to put anti mould paint on the walls in my bedroom (still went mouldy). in winter when i couldn't use the washing lines outside, if I closed the windows while i had washing drying the flat filled with condensation and turning the heating on just made it warm and humid. they didn't think it was necissary to provide a tumble drier.

when they redid the horrible old bathroom they simply attached sheets of plastic to the mouldy old artex walls and laid new vinyl flooring over the soaking wet floorbords which shockingly didn't stick down properly.

my kid was thankfully mostly ok bc their bedroom was the least mouldy room in the house but I had chest infections, a horrific sinus infection, constant coughs and colds and we only lived there for 2 winters.

in a perverse way it actually was lucky I also had upstairs neighbours who were actively torturing me to the point i would have commited suicide or gone to live on the streets if i hadn't had to look after my kid bc if I hadn't I never would have got the place im in now, we might even still be in there breathing the mould.

and that's my experience as a white scottish person who was born and raised here. Awaab's parents are black and therefore faced a far worse struggle to be heard and get the issues noticed and they lost their son bc of the negligence of the social housing system. the local authority are responsible for his death as surely as if he had died from a leaky boiler or inadiquite fire safety procedures.

and it's taken another five years after his death for this legislation to come in place. how many more vulnerable people have died or got incurable illnesses from breathing in mould in that time?

The communists want to take away YOUR MOLD

JUDGE OF THE CLOUDS

୨ㅤ࣪ㅤ︶︶︶︶ㅤㅤ꒰୨ ୧꒱ㅤㅤ︶︶︶︶ㅤ࣪ㅤ୧

Synopsis: You rate the clouds on a scale of 1-10 in your notebook and they noticed, which led to questioning. (only 1 cloud has ever gotten a 10)

Pairing: In ho x fem!reader/ Dae ho x fem!reader/Recruiter x fem!reader/ Jun-ho x fem!reader

In ho | ္ံံင်္

You and In ho were getting ready to go to the grocery store, “Y/N. come on we have to be back in time to make dinner for your parents, Gosh you take so long for everything love.” You start pacing around the room looking for your notebook and finally find it hidden in the container you have all your notebooks placed at. “Coming right now!!” You place the note book In your bag and run to the front door. 

You step into the car and put your seatbelt on in a hurry so you make It back on time. 

You then take your notebook out along with your black pen and look outside while In ho is driving.

“I hope they will like what I am making, I usually add more spice to it then normal but I don’t want them to cho-“

He gets interrupted by you saying your thoughts out loud. “Eh, 4.5/10”

His eyebrow lifts up In confusion while looking around,“What is here to rate?” 

You turn to him with an innocent face, “What else would there be?”

He tilts his head, signaling for you to tell him. “Thats what I’m asking myself because I have no clue.” 

A few minutes yall park and step out of the car, you then walk off to enter the store but in ho stops following. “You coming?” you say stopping while looking back.

He then remembers you rating stuff and you not answering the question, he then takes a step back and does a thumbs up pointing back to the car. “I forgot the card, wait for me in there my love.”

You nod in response and keep walking.

He then jogs to the car and opens the passenger seat door searching for the journal in your bag and spot it next to your lipgloss and mascara.

“There It goes.” He flips through the pages and stops when he sees the date on the corner which was today.

“1st cloud 3/10, 2nd cloud 6/10, 3rd cloud 10/10!! , 4th cloud 4.5/10” He then stops reading and turns back instantly when he hears your voice

“The card is right-“ you look down and see your notebook in his hand

He covers his face with his hands, “I.. Uh- wanted to know what you were rating” coughing trying to clear his throat

“Uh huh. Well there it is honey.” You say looking embarrassed and your face as red as a tomato.

“Uh, here I’ll get the cart for you.” He walks off with you following him right beside. 

He scoffs, as if he was in disbelief of you doing something childish. ( he was indeed in disbelief.) 

“I mean clouds tho seriously Y/N” he says covering his face leaning down against the cart

You thump his hand in return and start laughing.

Dae ho | ္ံံင်္

“Dae ho hurry!! I don’t want to be late for the movie” you say while wiggling the keys around to signal for him to hurry up.

“Im coming!!” He paces around the room trying to find his shoes, when he finally finds them he slips them on and speed walks to the door.

“Here, give me the keys lovely” kissing your forehead then putting his hand out for you to give him the keys. You hand him the keys and walk to the car.

5 minutes later y’all are on the freeway stuck in traffic. “There has to be a quicker way out” he whines putting his head back with his eyes squeezed closed.

He turns to you and sees you leaning your head down looking upward through the window

“W-what are you doing?” He says gazing fondly at you.

“Im rating” you say with no context with a focused look on your face gazing at the clouds, leaving him even more confused, which pushes him to ask more questions.

“Rating what?” He says looking up where you are looking to see if he can figure out.

“The clouds” you say with a innocent look on your face, which lets him know you’re not joking.

“Oh um, yeah thats nice.” He says trying to seem interested like you are.

“That was is ugly, no no no, 2/10.” you say while nodding your head

“Pff, yeah most definitely not a good one, L-like that one- That is a good one.” He says while pointing, trying to look interested In what you are doing to make you happy.

“Oh my gosh thats the best one I’ve ever seen Dae ho- woahh.. 10/10!” You say while looking more closer at the cloud in adoration.

He then stares with his eyes full of love, smiling because you doing something so odd makes him fall more deeply in love.

“Ah! Finally the traffic is dying down” getting distracted of you staring fondly at the clouds by the traffic.

Recruiter | ္ံံင်္

You and Gong yoo were coming back from a late lunch from a little cafe that y’all met at, he wanted to take you out since its been a while because you have been writing a new book that you are trying to publish in 2 months which has been stressful.

“I had a good time, thank you.” You pause briefly, “Definitely helped me get a break from the non stop writing.” Smiling at him holding the bag of left over dessert.

“Anything for you darling.” Y’all make it to the car and he opens the door for you and you get in.

He hops into the drivers side and starts the car.

A few minutes later y’all are waiting at a red light and you are ducking down looking out the window to get a better view at the sky.

“You know, we should go to the cafe by our house I saw a lot of good reviews..“

He slows down his words when you cut him off.

“Ooh, thats a good one.” You say while putting your head back where it was originally to write your rating of the clouds down on the notebook.

He scoffs, “Quite rude to cut me off..- Anyways, how do you suddenly get all these ideas? You’re very intelligent my love, but please take a break for now.”

You turn to him confused. “What do you mean ideas?”

He starts driving again, but talking at the same time. “Well you said ooh thats a good one so I supposed you were thinking of some ideas for your new book, I guess I was wrong.” He takes a short pause. “What are you doing then love?”

You accidentally ignore him due to you still focusing on the clouds.

He scoffs again while stopping at the red light. “Uh, hello? Your being quite rude today aren’t you?” He says while waving a hand to your face to make you listen to him.

You turn to his direction, “Ah, sorry dear.”

“So what are you doing?” He says looking impatient of your reply.

You look the other way and look down, “ Uh, its nothing..” You say with a deceiving look on your face.

He tries to pretend that he brushed it off, “Ahh, okay..” He says, then taking the journal out your hand

“Gong yoo, give it back come on.” You say trying to get it back.

He reads it and he cant control his chuckles that leave his mouth.

“Oh look at your little attempt to retrieve your such silly hidden possessions.” He laughs,” 3rd cloud 10/10!” He says trying to mimmic what you wrote, you then finally snatch it out of his hand and place it back in your bag

He laughs again, “You are so intelligent yet so childish.” He stops but then speaks again while driving when the light turned green, “I still love you through these very specified yet odd hobbies.” 

“I hate you” you say while turning to a corner while he continuously teases you.

“You love me.”

Jun ho| ္ံံင်္

You and jun ho were going back home from a dinner with his mom. It was lovely, His mom definitely knows how to good very well.

“Well, how did you like it?” He says as soon as he settled into the car.

“It was good, I would enjoy visiting again. She cooks way better than you.” You say teasing him.

He makes a dramatic look like you had just betrayed him. “Oh yeah? Is that right? Hmm, Well excuse me” he says.

You then laugh while pulling your notebook out as he drives off.

A couple of minutes later, He then cuts of the silence as he notices you leaning your head outside the window, looking upward.

“What in the world are you doing Y/N” he says both laughing and confused and the same time while your writing.

You put your head back in the car and lean your head down in embarrassment.

He notices how embarrassed you are. “Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t meant it in a rude way, I was just genuinely curious.” he says as his face went too a serious look

You chuckle, “I know, but you will laugh if I tell you what I’m doing.

He then turns to you, smiling again. Then turns back to the road. “Oh yeah? Try me. I won’t laugh I promise.”

“Are you sure?”

“Mhm, If I had to guess I would think you were rating clouds scale from 1/10- Im just kidding, I know you wouldn’t be the one to do anything that odd. Yes I want to know, tell me.”

You lower your head, “You, uh..” 

He looks at you again confused, “I- what?” you look at him and avoid eye contact while speaking again due to your embarrassment. “Uh, you just said it.”

He then tries to hold in his laugh while nodding his head up and down as if it’s normal. 

The he laughed a bit quietly but he couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Oh you’re mean” you say while crossing your arms over one another.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s just, I was just joking I didn’t know you would actually be doing that.”

He then glances at your notebook still wide open. “ Yup, I agree cloud 5 definitely has the most potential.”

“JUN HO” you say trying for him to quit teasing you.

English isn't my first language, please excuse any errors!

"Thanks buddy"

xavier x mc x caleb (no not all once im sorry </3). includes smut (jealous xavier, touch starved caleb)

Saw this idea in a comment section and went hell yeah ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────────

“All wanderers have been eliminated. Portocores have been sent along with the device we found at the scene.”

“I’ll review it with the analysis team and get back to you. Make an announcement if the area is dangerous, and check the perimeter for any metaflux energy. You can go home once you’re done. We’ll take it from here.”

You hung up on Captain Jenna after hearing her orders and turned to Xavier. He was crouched in the center of the scene, examining the aftermath of your battles against the wanderers. You’ve been going at them for hours, somehow managing to eliminate them and keep them away from the city center at the same time. There was an unknown device found at the scene, which you suspected could be related to how suddenly they appeared in this seemingly peaceful area. 

“Found anything?” you speak, walking to him. 

Xavier stands up, shaking his head as he turns towards you. 

“Nothing worth mentioning. There was nothing unusual about their behavior. “

You hum, turning to look at the city. You check your watch—5:03 pm. Your job cost you the whole afternoon, and you were gonna be late for your date with Caleb. He organized a little date for you two to catch up, and you were eager for it all week. But the wanderers just had to appear on the day of the date… hopefully, he won’t be too upset. 

“Come on, let’s go. My watch still doesn’t mention any metaflux energy nearby, so we should be good.” 

You hop on your bike, Xavier sitting behind you. His arms wrap around your waist, causing you to blush slightly. Was that placement really necessary? His hand was brushing your breasts, surely he could shift it a little lower...

“Xavier-” you stop, feeling him lean on your shoulder with his chin. 

“Hm?” he purred, the vibration of his voice making you shudder. You grip your bike handles and lean forward. 

“N-Nothing.” You murmur, starting the engine and driving off. 

You finally reach your building, and you park your bike down the street. As you hop off and take off your helmet, you can see Caleb’s car ahead, parked. He was waiting outside, leaning against it with a bouquet in his hands.

“Hey,” you say when you reach him, leaning in for a kiss on the cheek. Friendly enough not to cause issues with Xavier behind you. 

“Hey,” he echoes. “How was work?”

“Tiring,” you hum, running a hand through your hair and stepping back, half turning to your building. “I’ll go get ready quickly, come wait inside.”

“You don’t have to invite me twice,” he says with a smug smile, following you with a glance at Xavier. “Thanks buddy. Her colleague, right?”

Xavier only looked at him for a moment, a visibly annoyed expression on his face. Caleb walked off with the same smile after receiving no response, and Xavier’s eyes followed him. Was that the childhood friend she spoke about? 

Who the fuck did this guy think he was? He scoffs under his breath. Fancy bouquet, big car. He could give you those, too. With some help from Jeremiah, some savings here and there. Is that what it took to impress you? He shook his head and went up to his apartment, trying to calm down the rage inside him. 

Caleb waited inside your apartment as you got ready, and after half an hour, you finally left your room. 

“Okay, I’m ready,” you hummed, twirling in front of him. “How do I look?”  

“Gorgeous, as usual,” he whistled, standing up and opening the door for you. 

“‘As usual’ ?” you scoffed, “Are you saying my efforts are for nothing?”

Caleb laughed, the sound echoing in the elevator. His hand sneaked around your waist, pressing a soft kiss to your temple. “I’m saying you always look gorgeous even when you don’t try.” 

You soften at his words, following him to the car once the elevator stops. Caleb always gave you the feeling that he admired you even at your worst, and this was only verbal confirmation. 

The restaurant he picked was fancy. The lighting was dim, and the ambiance was not too loud. The room wasn’t crowded either. It was perfect, just as everything seemed to be with him. 

“Like the place?” he asked, holding the menu in his hands, his eyes darting between it and you. 

“Very chic,” you hum, gesturing to the menu in your hands. “I don’t know a lot of restaurants that still have physical copies.”

He smiles, closing the menu. “I know you hate the hassle of scanning the QR codes. I had to request menus specifically for us today.” He gestures to the waiter nearby. 

“Oh? Special order from the colonel?” you tease, closing your menu as well. He winks as a response just as the waiter approaches your table. He recites his order for him, and so do you, and the boy leaves with a nod. 

The meal went smoothly, the food was great, and you had a great chat with Caleb. On your way out, your conversation carried off smoothly. He took you on a night stroll to see the river, walking slowly to feel the fresh air. 

“-And the engine stopped working, mid-air, suddenly cutting off all communication with the ground. It was right next to the network cables, and I had to navigate it all by myself.”

You hum, listening intensely as he describes what seems to be a typical day at work for him. It must be stressful to be a colonel, and you can only feel pity for him. 

You loop your arm around his and bring your other hand to land on his arm, patting it gently. 

“Poor Caleb, working so hard every day,” you say. “What can I do to get rid of some of that stress for you?”

He looks down at hearing the slight tease in your tone, his eyes slightly widening. 

“You wanna… help me decompress?” he asks in a whisper, his hand moving to grip your waist instead, pushing you even closer to him. You fight off a smile and nod, tilting your head. 

“Not out here in public, tho. Let’s go to the car, my heels are starting to hurt anyway.”

Caleb eagerly nods and holds your hand, rushing to go back to the car. You almost laugh at how excited he seems, the tip of his ears turning redder the closer you get to the car. 

Once you arrived, he opened the door like the gentleman he is, and you got inside. He followed soon enough, and the moment he closed the door, his lips were on yours. 

You melt in the kiss, noises escaping him before he pulls back. “F-Fuck, you’re heavenly”. He breathes, leaning in for another kiss. His mouth devours you hungrily, in an almost animalistic way. After being satisfied with your lips, he trails down your neck, his hands fumbling with the material of the dress you had on. You feel your heart race as he pulls back, suddenly aware of the heat radiating off you. Of how flushed your face is, of how much you want him right here and right now. 

“Are you sure you-“ 

“Caleb.” You interrupt him in a needy plea, wrapping your arms around his neck tightly. That was all the confirmation he needed to slide your dress down your shoulders, just enough to reveal your torso. His hands grab your tits, kneading the flesh tenderly, all while he kisses your collarbone, moving his tongue across your skin. You don’t know when, or how, but during the mess of kisses and his burning touch, you find yourself manhandled beneath him, in the back seat. You shiver at the realization and arch your back, needing more contact, more of him in you, on you, I mean. Your arms pull him closer, whimpers leaving you. 

Caleb pulls back for a moment, looking down to admire the masterpiece underneath him. Panting, sweating from just him toying with your flesh.

“This makes everything so worth it,” he whispers, tracing over his hickey lightly. His marks, all over your body. The feeling of pride and possessiveness surges through him, and his pants tighten. Would that pathetic colleague of yours be able to see them? Maybe he needs to make one a little higher so you don’t cover it with a turtleneck.

All thoughts were interrupted once a ringtone erupted from his pocket. His forehead presses against yours. 

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” he whispers, closing his eyes. He tries to ignore it, lets it ring once. Then twice. 

“For fuck’s sake–” he mutters under his breath, sitting up and taking his phone out of his pocket. You slowly sit up as well, sliding up your dress to cover yourself, your face heating up a little from the awkwardness of the situation. Caleb speaks on the phone for a moment before hanging up, tapping on it. 

“S-Something wrong?” you ask, your fingers brushing through your hair. “Work?”

“Mhm.” he sighs, wiping his face before looking at you apologetically. “I’m sorry baby, I just have to get this tiny thing done, and the-”

“No worries, don’t worry about it at all,” you hurriedly say, flashing an awkward grin, hopping off the backseat and sitting in front. He follows you, fastening his seatbelt and yours.

Caleb takes another call in the car, talking about some reports and drones around Skyhaven. You can’t help but feel upset that work has to come between even your intimate time, but a bigger part of you feels bad that he has to work so much. 

Once you arrive at your apartment, he walks you out. 

“Aren’t you in a hurry?” you say, walking beside him up the stairs. You could’ve taken the elevator, really, but you wanted to stall. 

“I got 5 minutes. Not wasting it in the driver’s seat,” he hums. His hand instinctively reaches for your waist, drawing you closer and pressing a kiss to your temple. “I’m sorry,” he breathes. 

“Don’t be, really, it’s fine.” You smile, taking out your keys. “Come by when you have free time, I can help you relax again. 

He smiles, leaning against the doorway. “Oh yeah? I think I’ll be free tomorrow, or the day after that. Matter ‘fact, I think I can be free in about two hours-”

“Caleb.” You sigh, rolling your eyes as you look at him, now fully inside your place. Just as you prepared to say something teasing back, a voice emerged behind you. 

“Oh, you’re back.” 

You startle at it, looking back. Behind you stood Xavier, rubbing his left eye with his fist. He smiles at you as he gets close, putting a hand on your shoulder before glancing at Caleb. 

“Thanks buddy.”

You could’ve sworn there was something in the air between the two boys, some electrical energy like this was an anime. Either that or your makeout session in the car is making you dizzy. 

“Xavier, what a-uh, surprise. What..uhm, what are you doing here?” you ask, nervously looking at Caleb as you let out a shaky laugh. 

“Forgot my hoodie,” he hums, gesturing to the one he’s wearing. “And my charger, actually. Do you know where I put it? I’m pretty sure I left it here last time I slept over,” he replied, unnecessarily emphasizing the ‘slept’. You weren’t even sure if that was a lie or not. You frown. 

“You don’t usually sleep here, tho, I’m the one that–” you interrupt yourself, sucking your lips shut. You avoid Caleb’s burning gaze on you, taking a shaky breath. 

“I mean, I’m... i-in any case, thanks for dropping me off, Caleb, see ya.” You hurriedly speak, closing the door. He holds it for a moment longer, looking at you. 

“Sleep well, babe. And call me later.” 

You nod and close the door, leaning against it. You let out a breath, wiping your face with your hand, muttering a ‘fuck’. 

“So”, Xavier spoke again, crossing his arms. “How was your fancy date?” 

You frown at him, pushing off the door. “Xavier! What were you thinking, coming into my apartment like that?!” you scoff, throwing the jacket you held in your hands on the couch, and angrily walking to your room.

He shrugs, sitting down. “As I said, I just needed to get my hoodie back-”

“Oh, don’t play that game with me!” you shout from inside the bedroom, quickly changing into comfy pajamas. You open the door again just as dramatically as you closed it, walking to the living room to sit next to him. 

He laughs, moving closer to you. His hand reaches for your head, petting you gently and threading his fingers along the lengths of your hair. You lean against his shoulder, closing your eyes for a moment. 

Before you realised it, his fingers absentmindedly slide down to your hips, pushing the shorts down. “Xavier,” you whisper, your voice holding a warning tone. “Just checking something,” he replies. he smiles once the shorts are pulled down enough, at your soaked panties, touching them lightly. “Would you look at that?” He hums. You shiver at his touch, biting your lip and mentally preparing yourself to feel him. 

“So wet. Did you miss me?” He whispers as he leans closer to your face, pulling the panties to the side and rubbing you. A sudden moan escapes you, arching your back. Your arms instinctively wrap around him. “Or is it for that bastard? Answer me,” He asks again, his thumb circling your clit. “Y..You, why do you care?” You breathe out in half a moan, half a gasp. 

“Because it should be me,” he murmured, his voice rough with desire.

Without breaking eye contact, he slid two fingers into you, his touch deliberate and slow. His other hand found your thigh, spreading your legs apart. Your body tightened around him, a soft gasp escaping you. You close your eyes as he curls his fingers inside you, his movements deliberate and slow, each thrust sending sparks through your body. You couldn’t stop the sounds that escaped you, each one soft and breathless, driving him further.

“You’re grinding on my hand,” he whispers, almost amused. “Did you do that to him too?” he tilts his head, following your gaze. His other hand gently grips your chin to stop you from avoiding him. His fingers were still curling inside you slowly. You moan, gripping his arm. He grunts at your desperate grip.

His touch got firmer, more insistent, as though he wanted to mark you from the inside. “I guess I could thank him for preparing you for me.” Your body betrayed you again, shivering under his touch, and you cursed yourself for how much you hated and wanted this moment all at once.

Your thighs trembled, your breath caught, and your hips desperately ground into him. You were close to release, you could feel it pulsing inside you. And so could Xavier. 

He took his fingers out abruptly, and the sudden absence made you whimper, body aching with the loss.

Don’t worry. You’ll come eventually." He leaned in, lips brushing your ear. His hand gently caressed your thigh. "The night’s young, and you’ve still got a lot to make up for."

[forbiddentaako]

Hi, sorry for bothering you and feel completely free not to answer this if you don't want to or aren't interested in it anymore, but I just really like your Devil's Carnival AU and I'd love to know more about it so dropping some questions here 👀 sorry if they're too many!

1. How do you imagine Charlie's and Vaggie's relationship developing? They obviously meet in "After the fall", right after Vaggie's fall from grace, but when did they start dating? How did it happen? Since in canon one of the things Vaggie loves about Charlie is her kindness and compassion towards sinners, how does that translate into this AU, where Charlie is less sunshine-y?

2. Does your idea involve Lute being more like Cora or like the Agent? With this I mean whether she has feelings for Vaggie which she hides because they're "inappropriate and illegal" or if she's courting Vaggie because Adam asked her to as a way to expose Vaggie while she's internally praying for her not to do something stupid and prove Adam right. I think you kind of explained it already in your other post but I didn't fully get it 🥲

3. Slightly related to the previous one but how does Vaggie fall? Is it for the same reasons as June?

4. Have you thought of roles for characters like Husk, Alastor or Niffty?

5. What do you think would happen in this AU in a hypothetical 3rd movie?

Your art style is so beautiful btw! You're such a talented artist :)

You are literally doing the opposite of bothering me don't worry I got so excited seeing this ask in my inbox you have no idea fsgsghskbds i have everything under read more bc it turned out long but thank you so much for the compliment on my art and also for this ask !!!

More or less vaggie and charlie getting together is closer to how it happened in hazbin hotel since i feel like part of it is the similarities of vaggie meeting charlie immediately after her fall and charlie still being kind and helping her which is the start of their connection, and overtime they grow closer and end up falling in love. I do like to think it did take them a while to get together but it was over the course of getting to know one another and their passions/dreams/ect that they began to truly understand who the other was and fall for them.

A little side note off of that which is relevant to understanding a less sunshiny charlie and how it translates to chaggie; with this particular role for charlie it has her mirroring aspects of both of her parents by design, but her character motivations are still very rooted in the fact that she is kind and believes in the good of sinners, heaven has just pushed her too far. Like even tho she's technically fulfilling lucifer's role from the devil's carnival, in doing so she's bearing more similarities to lilith's role in hell in hazbin in that she empowers sinners with her voice (in this case particularly any who've fallen from heaven since it seems like in the devil's carnival this was an occurrence that happened multiple times). And that kind of motivates her disdain for heaven to see how easily they cast out those who don't live up to their standards + with the obvious hypocrisy in how adam acts it makes her more disillusioned with the whole system altogether that heaven stands for and perpetuates (like lucifer hazbin hotel), which is what results in her saying 'fuck it' and just send sinners up there.

originally i was thinking the first movie didn't quite fit for charlie in lucifer's role because it does seem kind of cruel the way the sinners are tormented and it felt like it deviated from charlie's character, but i changed my mind after seeing the second bc i think it could read as a misguided attempt at redemption playing by heaven's rules of shunning what's perceived as sin (which we do see charlie try to do in the actual show) rather than her more trust exercises/team building route she goes for in hazbin. Like for charlie i think she'd genuinely think she's helping to try and get each of them to realize what sin they've committed for redemption's sake but hits her breaking point with heaven by the end. Probably from a mix of not fully believing some of the sins committed warrant eternal damnation (I feel like angel in particular with this one is especially sad because its unclear whether or not tamara ever does get sent to heaven/redeemed?) and being pissed at how hypocritical adam is by engaging in the same sins he's damning people to hell for. Charlie sending trains of sinners up isnt just a passive aggressive thing to do to heaven to shun her role as their torturer but also a statement that sinners and winners are one in the same-like she's completely giving up on trying for redemption within heaven's rules and just showing them that if they continue with this hypocrisy and cruelty, redemption is unnecessary bc these sinners fit right in as flawed as they are. I think this would also make Adam's damage control before 'bells of black sunday' especially insulting to charlie as well.

And vaggie sees that compassion in charlie when they first meet and she is kind to her in her lowest point, but realizes how much deeper it goes the more they get to know one another. In this AU also charlie knew from the beginning that vaggie was a former exorcist, but finding out why she fell was probably something that happened later on. (I do think the idea of them first starting to spend more time together by reading Aesop's fables to one another would be really cute too, like charlie likely reads stories to most new sinners to help with the transition to hell but vaggie shows so much genuine interest that it becomes a routine for them)

(Another side note; I think a scene in the actual film which supports a well intentioned charlie and works well for her character is the one with the devil and the ticket keeper towards the end of the second movie when the ticket keeper confronts lucifer about his plan. Like its vox yelling at charlie that heaven will try to fuck them up because of what she's doing, and him saying that he is the one who'll be standing on the tracks to push her out of the way, but charlie getting angry at this and saying she would never let him do that and that she will be on the tracks with him, and then she tells him her plan finally. I think this scene works well because it not only shows charlie's devotion to her ideas and to those she cares about, but also the disconnect between her intentions and her actions that could allow for the first movie's plot of torturing sinners to be born out of a want to help them. Because in this case she does have a well thought out plan and everything is done with intent, but vaggie is the only one who really knows this so to vox it seems like shes being reckless and impulsive due to how she's been acting, and heaven also isn't really understanding the message in the way she wanted.)

2:

With Lute and vaggie i think i have a clearer idea of what's going on now than when i first made the post in summary because i think lutes role is dependent on if we're talking in the plot or if we're talking in relation to vaggie. I think adam probably still wanted her to get closer to Vaggie and prove she wasn't worthy of heaven/it was a test of loyalty for lute to betray her but the feelings between them that developed were ones that Lute definitely deemed to be 'inappropriate and illegal'. I think they probably could have had their romantic moments between them still in secret but after getting found out and confronted by the watchword Lute realized because she had fallen for vaggie she was resigned to letting vaggie fall so she wouldn't have to deal with the fact that she loved her or get caught having a secret relationship with her. Like externally they present similarly to the agent and june with their respective roles in the narrative, but in terms of who they are to one another it's was closer to what cora and june had going on.

With their plot as well I feel like some of the heaven caste system needs to be examined/adjusted so it better fits them, but I haven't had the time to dig into it as it exists in the film enough that I feel comfortable deconstructing and reconstructing it just yet. Definitely working on it though !

And going off of this I think when vaggie fell Lute took the opportunity to make it look like she had acted calculated and callously this whole time as to maintain adam's respect as well as prove her loyalty, when in reality that was very much not the case and she did really care for vaggie at one point but forced herself to hate her because of what loving her would mean. I also think vaggie's fall would be something tied to kindness rather than ambition because it follows more closely to what happened in hazbin and also would probably endear her to charlie more when she finds out (and make her angrier at heaven), but Im also not 100% sure what that would look like in terms of how it plays out in the film.

So I have thought a bit of nifty/alastor/husk though they are more unsure in who they'd be. I am kind of stuck on the idea of Alastor as the publicist in his more positive sense because I think it fits and i think it'd be cool to incorporate more physical radio aspects into his design in the same way that the publicist has the horn attached at his ear (plus mimzy can be there too as one of the songbirds). I do also like the idea of him playing the role of the watchword to some extent (just keeping it solely to radio) bc he loves drama. Partly because I think it fits to let him be in heaven but still be an absolute menace to the general public, and partly because i think its funny to keep Al and Vox separated like toddlers who will start a fight with one another if left alone for too long. I had thought about having vox as the watchword and alastor as the publicist, but I kind of like the 'charlie works with the vees' plot a bit too much to separate vox from them. With Husk and Niffty I go back and forth on who they'd play, partly bc when i was originally brainstorming this au with a friend we thought husk could be the hobo clown but that was also when we were thinking Alastor as Lucifer's role instead of charlie (and this was before I had watched the second movie so the cast overall was very different) so im not entirely sure. If we're going with carnie roles for them i think husk as the hobo clown or the magician i can live with and niffty as one of the bayonets maybe. But having Alastor in heaven kind of throws off the dynamic so im unsure fully where to put them.

The idea of what would happen in a third movie is SO INTERESTING and I hadn't even thought about it. I think part of this AU deviates from the movie to be more chaggie focussed so I imagine a third movie could focus more on their relationship as well, maybe even delving into them bonding over their shared plan to overthrow heaven and we'd get to see that development of the plan/their relationship in the flashbacks with the present being them actually enacting their plan. Like they are a power couple and share each other's passion, and theyre really the only 2 who actually know what the plan is. I think by this point vox would have been told the plan by charlie in the previous movie so he would have to also help get the carnies organized and on board. There'd also have to be some scenes in heaven with Adam losing it as his control of heaven falters, plus finding out whats going on with the sinners sent to heaven. Really theres just a ton of possibilities since the actual third movie was never made.

So, I just wanted to tell you never forget how much of a lovely loving kind and caring father you have, who loves you and protects you and makes you feel heard. That’s all.
