"Lute may always come in SECOND best in Heaven's army" — so are they not even trying or ...
>>155199139They don't need to try because the fanbase refuses to put 2 and 2 together.
>>155198901the fact that they have to explicitly call her hallucinations horny like she didn't straddle him and crawl up his body already in order for people to get the message that lute is attracted to adam and people are UPSET about that is an indictment against this fandom. like putting aside how everyone loves a toxic relationship in this fandom so long as it's not straight, the idea that maladaptive sexual attraction can't be part of mental illness and anyone whose sexual expression is involved in their mental health crisis is being mentally ill wrong is far more dangerous than whining about this being misogynistic and fetishising.
>>155199316As far as I'm concerned if a ship isn't pedo or incest and they're not like beating and raping each other it's not problematic end of story. I hate modern fandom so much nothing means anything any more.
I 100% believe Lilith/Eve twin plot was real, as an early concept, but during redevelopment, Eve was reworked into Lute: Eve is supposed to be manipulative, and Jessica explicitly describes Lute as someone who “tries to play everyone, and be manipulative, especially with THAT dynamic” (Eve, in the leaks, apparently raised Charlie and manipulates her ideals/goals). Eve was positioned around the larger Heaven/Hell conflict, wanting to destroy both - Jessica and Viv have said Lute will play an important role in exactly that conflict. Eve would have reason to target the Morningstars, while Lute is established to despises Charlie and Lucifer as early as season one (and ofc hates Lilith.) Even the feminist material seemingly associated with Eve now appears around Lute - her bizarrely out-of-character feminist audition song and Viv/Skye saying she's the embodiment of feminine rage.tldr: Lute is the redesigned Eve created when that story itself was reworked for the series proper. It's the same shit with Adam's character being changed.
>>155199490>I 100% believe Lilith/Eve twin plot was real, as an early concept, but during redevelopment, Eve was reworked into LuteMakes sense. I'm more leaning towards Lilith/Eve twin theory as being one of the concepts proposed to getting to what Viv and her crew actually wanted. A revenge filled Eve as a villain. However unlike most most fans of said theory Viv and her crew realised they were overcomplicating themselves so they picked the less convoluted option. Not only is Lute/Eve more straightforward but it also shifts her to a Heaven environment instead of having her be a primary Hell figure ( much better for evening the shows dynamics). It also helps her stand out better compared to Lilith. Depending on when they came up with Adam's character it's also gives her another reason to be angry if he died because of the Morningstars.
>>155199567Yeah, that’s what makes me think this was a redesign rather than the abandonment of Eve’s storyline. The old “leaks” give Eve a particular motivation, conflict and narrative function. These ideas keep resurfacing through Lute, over and over again. Seriously... "second best in Heaven", while Eve is the second bride of Adam? "Lute is not who you think she is." Aight. This is why they poked fun at themselves with the 'convoluted twin plot' in Helluva Boss. Because they're not doing that anymore.
>>155199611>>155199567>>155199490It also helps that A) Viv and Sam debunked identity switch theories, B) The show goes out of its way to tell us, via Lucifer, that Lilith has *always* been 'good at pushing people away' aka it's the real Lilith. UNLESS they're going to go all the way in lobotomizing him to where he didn't recognize someone impersonating his wife (and recently, at that)
>>155199611I wouldn't even call it a redesign. It's more like she picked gold instead of pink for her dress colour.
>>155198901Medrano is bisexual,[47] and on the asexual spectrum.[48] she stated that she has ADHD.[52]Medrano had described herself as a "proud 'fiery' [L]atina,". she described herself as a "queer woman on the internet who made something popularonly the most degenerate broken mental midgets who produce inverted demonic propaganda will be promoted and supported
>>155199655Bruh what?
Can retard fundies go preach in threads that actually discuss the demons please.
>>155199670It's kinda funny how they show up here expecting demon worship, LGBTQ shit or Viv glaze only to have us mostly talk about Heaven characters and that Lute might be Eve.
>>155199700The main topic is and has been heterosexual relations between two angels for months now. You'd think they'd get a clue. Not only is their preaching stupid, it's irrelevant.
>>155199727I'm pretty sure they just see a Hazbin thread and just say their spiel without checking what is actually discussed there.
>>155199802The guy who called it a 'tranny show' last thread too like... what trannies? Do people realize there are exactly 0 trans or nonbinary characters in Hazbin Hotel? I feel like people don't know that.
Viv believes trans characters have to be voiced by trans voice actors else it's 'transwashing' or some stupid bullshit so there won't even be any surprise trans reveals in the future (cough cough Jax).
>>155199829Baxter, if we really want to grasp at straws
>>155199879Voiced by a cisgender man
I want to put pp in Charlie's butt
>>155199915If Adam was a Bluey character he'd be the knockoff version of Bandit that Bad Dragon uses to market dildos
Why is Vaggie making such a slutty expression here?
Would YOU own an exorcist angel?
https://files.catbox.moe/wkkj93.jpg(You) are now aware that a sex toy company commissioned Guitarspear porn to sell an electric fleshlight thing.
>>155200004Imagine if Viv starts selling Hellaverse-themed sex stuff like condoms, fleshlights etc....
>>155200004This thing is obviously a men's sex toy so it's kind of adorable their marketing team think men want to cum like Adam Hazbin Hotel... Men, is this true?
>>155200037We have a Pizza chain here in NZ that had an advertising campaign where they put branded condoms in people's letterboxes, so I don't see why not.The company's name btw>Hell Pizza
>>155200148Kiwis??? In my thread?
>>155200004Impressive. Also weirdly fitting when you remember there's a sex toy website called Adam and Eve.
>>155200004Hot.Gentlemen, would an Angelic Hazbin Hotel receive any support from Lute?
Also. What sort of swimsuit would Lute wear to the beach with Adam?I'm looking for...... Suggestions...
>>155200167It's more common than you think
>>155200379Idk. Really depends. Are they on a private beach?
>>155200423I thought I had fellow bongs here coz of spelling. Kiwis? It was kiwis??? What are the odds
>>155200358Like a hotel where Lute redeems Adam by jerking him off?
>>155199655>Proud fiery latina>Unironically cannot speak Spanish>Overcompensates being a no sabo kid by making her character caricatures Lmao
Do you think Niffty is a schizo?
>>155202269All Latinos from the American continent forget their original heritage (literally just a mix of whatever native shit the Spanish didn't find offensive plus some actual quality Spanish stuff) after a couple of generations of spending time in actual civilization. Nothing new.
The LEAST favorite child lol
>>155203212This confirms that Cain exists and that he did, in fact, kill Abel. Also, absolutely wild Adam's least favorite son isn't the murderer.
Do you think Abel atoned and he's in Heaven now or is Adam genuinely fucked in the head?
>>155203212>>155203252>The LEAST favorite childIs TransLute's cope dead now? Is he still gonna be a retard and ignore the obvious fact that Adam didn't like Abel?
>>155203471No, he's going to say how he doesn't count ch. Merch as proof. Which, I will say... Is technically valid because I think Viv has said as much? The Streamily prince, for example, are not canon. And from Viv's own mouth, Abel is among Adams least favorite children, but I don't recall her ever saying that he was THE least favorite.
>>155203490But then again, this motherfucker accounts s press journal which said that Abel was the first born/older than Cain as canon, so it's not like he's exactly consistent with his own sources
>>155203490>>155203502Okay so I'm having a stroke I guess.
>>155203268You probably meant to say Cain right? Thing is we don't know how it went down or how Cain or the average child of Adam and Eve tends to act. Abel is obviously an outlier. Maybe it's was a more complex issue(Cain killing Abel). Maybe Adam and Eve just loved Cain more because he( and possibly the rest of their spawn) was like them. I could see Adam and Eve(especially if she's Lute) disliking Abel for being weak by their standards.
>>155203542I think that's the implication, yes. All of his children were probably like him. Abel is the black sheep of the family.
A few things... I think we're kind of jumping the gun and assuming that Cain is Adam's favorite child. Certainly he liked him more than Abel, but with the way he was talking about sinners, I have a hard time envisioning him openly liking Cain. I know religious hypocrites exist, obviously, but what justification would Adam give exactly? I think Seth was probably more likely to be his favorite. If at that.
>>155203552As for Cain being in Heaven. I don't think he's there or in Hell. I think Viv might have went with the immortal wanderer backstory. Funny enough she might twist it so after he was punished with immortality instead of wandering the earth he actually remained with his parents and helped with raising his siblings and building stuff. Like Adam and Eve weren't even that pissed and just told him to go do his chores.
>>155203552 ̶A̶b̶e̶l̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶L̶u̶c̶i̶f̶e̶r̶'̶s̶ ̶c̶h̶i̶l̶d̶.̶
>>155203614Yes. Adam found him and impregnated his angelic pussy.
>>155203610Not going to lie, the thought of them not liking Abel to the point where if his own brother murdered him, they weren't even distraught that he died, but more upset about Cain is getting in trouble and is now labeled a sinner, is pretty sad to think about. I'm very pro-Adam and Eve being not the best parents, but I don't want them to be complete monsters either?
>>155203574It's pretty weird if he liked Cain more than Abel considering he's a murderer.
>>155203610I don't think he's either in heaven or hell. Adam makes fun of Charlie for seeing sinners as her found family, so it doesn't give me the impression that he has any direct family down there. Even though they technically should be, but that's a different discussion.
>>155203688If that's the case then this strongly implies Heaven is corrupt.
>>155203690Right? For how passionate he is about the exterminations, and granted, he's less passionate than Lute is, it's really weird for him to just casually excuse the first murderer, no matter how much he liked him. I really want to know what his justification would be if that's the case.
>>155203720I mean. Heaven IS corrupt....? If my memory serves, in helluva boss, weren't the cherubs providing a blessing for that who experimented on kids and poor people?
>>155203744Yeah, Lyle Lipton. It doesn't specify whether he experimented on kids or not but he definitely experimented on the poor. He literally admits it. I don't think I would it past him experimenting on poor children.
my theory that perhaps adam genuinely did die first (by accident maybe) and abel was too much of a bitch to explain how he really died while adam was asking how cain was doing entertains me so i'll hold on a little longer.
>>155204016I think that as well. That Adam died first, I mean. I don't think it's an oversight in the writing like other people say.
>>155204016>>155204046Adam is literally stated to be the first human soul in Heaven. So yes, he died first.
>>155204075No, I know, it's just that the fandom tends to say that it's an oversight or a mistake in the writing. I don't think that's the case. I think it's very purposeful. Same thing with him potentially not having eaten the fruit? According to him, he never made a mistake in his life
>>155204207see i always took that as him eating the fruit but not viewing it as a mistake (which could be very cute potentially). him not eating the fruit removes a ton of his character agency in being a shitty shit. unrelated i love that not even 24 hours ago i found someone on twitter saying that their RP partner didn't want to do romantic guitarspear anymore because they decided their relationship was more siblinglike and then we get hornygate.
>>155204286>unrelated i love that not even 24 hours ago i found someone on twitter saying that their RP partner didn't want to do romantic guitarspear anymore because they decided their relationship was more siblinglike and then we get hornygate.What's hornygate?
>>155204340people are getting really pissy and crying misogyny about lute's hallucination of adam being ~sexualised~ by her youtooz blurb like she didn't canonically straddle and grind on him already. which also makes that RP account's decision even funnier.
>>155204379Bruh she was obviously craving that Dickmaster cock. Even if you don't figure out she's Eve it's still obvious she wants to fuck Adam.
>>155204419mentally ill women aren't allowed to be horny for a guy like adam!
>>155204584Women aren't allowed to do shit. If you're a woman and you think you want something you actually don't. You were just manipulated into wanting it by a man.
I keep wondering why everyone is so convinced Lilith or whoever that is in Heaven had nothing to do with the exterminations being allowed. "Lucifer permitted the exterminations and that's why Lilith left" doesn't explain Lilith ghosting her kid too. Also, one of the two went MIA at the same time exterminations began, was revealed to be chilling in Heaven, is threatened with being kicked out suggesting it isn't an imprisonment and is said to have a direct deal with Adam leader of the exterminations, and it ain't Lucifer.
>>155205141I'm kind of confused about something... So Lilith disappeared, then that's when the exterminations started, we are. We are under the assumption that Lucifer negotiated a deal with heaven regarding these annual purges, and someone. Please correct me/confirm if I'm correct... But anyway, did it not occur to Lucifer to ask Kevin what was up? Did he not think that her disappearing had anything to do with the exterminations? Especially if she was the one that started this whole thing?? I don't know,
>>155205141Because people are retards who cling to the Idea that Lilith actually gives a shit about sinners. Like I remember some discussion regarding the look of Adam and someone said to show portrays Lilith as beautiful because she cares about sinners and wanted what's best for them. I'm not joking. Like this is some Charlie level of delusional.
>>155203212Why give away Abel's blurb now when Lute's was kept secret until people started getting her?
>>155205237specifically lucifer was able to grant a pardon to the hellborn (imps, succubi etc) instead of heaven razing everything.
>>155205326I was wondering that too?? But then again, don't they sometimes give out the blurb, and sometimes they don't? Seems pretty random.
>>155205141I personally think Lucifer followed her lead on the exterminations after learning she permitted them and added the Hellborn pardon. It's not like he of all people is going to go to bat for Sinners when even she won't. What's more, I think he knows full well she's in Heaven. He's purposefully not telling Charlie these things either because he doesn't want to upset her or badmouth his wife, is delusional and thinks Lilith must be doing something important and has good reason, or some mix of both.
>>155205237HEAVEN, not Kevin. For fucks sake I'm gonna kms
>>155205379oooh that's gonna crush charlie. i cannot wait.
>>155205237We don't particularly see Lucifer wondering where she is, just being sad she's gone. >>155205379
>>155205384>I'm gonna kmsDon't. It's just a simple mistake. It happens to all of us.
>>155205405Lucifer probably thinks she'll find her way back at some point so why upset Charlie? I guess he was right! It would also explain why Charlie isn't concerned that Lilith might be in trouble. Lucifer isn't either and may have at some point told her that Lilith must be off doing something important even if he didn't elaborate further. Based on "what did I do to make her leave," Lilith didn't tell Charlie anything before peacing out.
Confession: I don't think Lilith is that interesting.
>>155206264Currently she isn't. As for the future. I'm not super confident. She might suffer from old Viv idea syndrome where she's shackled by being an older creation. If we're right about Lute there's no chance Lilith doesn't get completely overshadowed by her (kinda poetic in a way).
>>155206264The mystery has been dragged out for so long that I genuinely do not care if she is insanely evil, purely good, in between... I'm so over it, I'm sick of looking at her face, that I think when she finally does appear, it'll be lackluster no matter what happens. Viv's should not have moved the Lilith stuff to season 3.
>>155206420I'd honestly say the same for Lute if she's Eve. Funny enough both her and Lilith are victims of S2 turning into Vox filler season. It seriously screwed over both galls (I'd say Lute a bit more because S1 left bigger expectations).
>>155206264Viv has to be unafraid to make her as flawed as her family instead of an awesome lady or she will be boring. As much as fans throw around Stella comparisons to get mad about, she's better off leaning more Stella than being the good, hard done by mom and queen many people want her to be. Then they'd all whine about how fandom doesn't care about her (and if they're honest with themselves neither would they).
>>155206558Oh, absolutely 100%! I agree with that. I love this potential plotline if it's true, but I never said the execution was good! And as I'm parsing through all of Jessica's interviews, she definitely made it seem like we were going to get some kind of reveal in season two, back when it was still the Lilith stuff. Her and Erika even made a video together reenacting that scene in E1 between Charlie and Lute, suggesting a direct confrontation (which we never got). Recently at one of the cons, Jessica, straight up acknowledged that Lute didn't get the payoff that she said she would. I strongly strongly theorize we were supposed to get that Eve reveal in season 2 when it was still the Lilith stuff. That's why I think it's going to happen at the end of season 3.
>>155206619ideally in terms of personality she's literally exactly like adam, just pointed in a different direction. i say this not for lore accuracy but for pervert guitarprincess reasons.
>>155206558Season 2 really is bad that way. And because she can't really evolve until Lilith comes back, they didn't know what to do with Charlie herself and screwed her too. The season basically had Charlie make the exact kind of mistakes she'll clearly make when Lilith is back, ignoring everyone and everything to chase her. So now the audience will have a harder time giving her sympathy when it's critical that they do because it'll feel like they're watching her backslide a fucking gain. They did a horrible job at stretching out this plot once they got more seasons than they bargained for and a bunch of characters suffered for it.

Question.The central idea of the narrative seems to be "no one is beyond redemption". Like, in the first season Angel Dust's entire arc is about him becoming a better person, and when Adam and Lute point out that he's a crackhoe - i.e. the lowest of the low - the narrative disproves it. This indeed points out that the story is about nobody being beyond redemption. I kind of like the story about redemption doesn't shy from challenging Charlie's beliefs on a Hard Mode (regardless of how Vivzie is going to pull it of) but I'm REALLY interested in whether she recognizes how nuclear is Valentino for her narrative.Like, in order to make Angel Dust an abused crackhoe, someone has to abuse him and that someone is Valentino. Ok, that's fine, but the story is about EVERYONE being redeemable and more than that, the story isn't inclined to make the Vees two dimensional (much) - they have their own struggles, problems, insecurities, loyalties and camaraderie. And in the finale, Valentino and Velvette join the quire, seemingly indicating that they are part of this "not beyond salvation" group.I kind of vibe with that, in the sense that again, the narrative doesn't shy away from its own premise and stays true to itself even in the face of difficult questions, but like... Valentino is straight up rapist. Like, isn't it a big No-No in modern media. Vivzie's fanbase appear to such that sexual abuse is a hot topic and Valentino not being raped by a cactus in the end is going to cause a nuclear meltdown. Meanwhile, for Charlie to triumph, it feels like, yes, everyone should be redeemable - even Vox, even Alastor, even Valentino. But I'm not sure women and virtue-signalers are going to accept that.Vivzie HAS TO understand that right? For people who read her social media: is she brave enough to stay true to Christian values of salvation fir everyone, even rapists?

>>155207339You admitting that you've only read the Bible for a year, and think you're a genius is proof enough. Don't play stupid games. At the very least learn to spell and type properly. Fucking ass retard.
Why does this guy keep saying "ya" instead of "you" and "Raye" instead of "Ray" ?
>>155199670You summoned them. Now what's-his-face is here.
>>155207386He has a biological love of fried chicken?
>>155207267>And what do ya know about scripture?I know that patience and humility is a virtue, for example. And I've never touched the Bible in my life.
>>155207409Look at that. Someone who hasn't even touched the Bible already knows a lot more than this stupid ass religious larper, Jake/TransLute
>>155199490>>155199567>>155199611I can absolutely buy Eve/Lilith was an original idea they were working with until it got reworked, keeping the core “Evil vengeful Eve” element but repackaging it through Lute. Hell, that’s probably why she’s got such a placeholder-sounding name, because that’s Not the name the crew and eventually the show itself will be calling her ;)If that’s what happened, they made the right choice. One change I think is interesting is how Eve originally was going to be furious at being blamed for the Fall, whereas if Lute is indeed Eve, it would seem she completely accepts her culpability (however proportionate it is or isn’t)) and sees it as her mission to fix it. That is *far* more interesting that a jaded Eve pissed at being misblamed.Side note, though, the complete quote was “second best in Heaven’s *army*”, still a pretty unsubtle clue they placed in there.Like, seriously, the more we learn, the harder the theory gets to dispel.

>>155206337> If we're right about Lute there's no chance Lilith doesn't get completely overshadowed by her (kinda poetic in a way).Not as much one might think. Let’s forget, Lilith is as important as she is cuz we spend the vast majority of the show in Hell, where she is the Queen, albeit absent. On Earth, most humans probably don’t even know she exists (till they die). And as controversial a figure she may be, Eve is still the Mother of humanity and regarded as such. She won’t be as universally reviled as Lucifer and Lilith; modern souls probably pity her as a poor fool, which to Lute, she probably hates more.

>>155207298i'm pretty sure it's going to default to the 'everyone CAN be redeemed, but not everyone will WANT to and it can't be forced' which gives a handy out for anyone deemed 'too' evil. so you don't have to grapple with the harder implications but also have an out so the themes of the show aren't wrecked.

So, who is Roo?
Anyway. I hope that whatever story was pitched to Amazon is as good as we hope it is. I have a little spark of hope being that this is what supposedly greenlit the show in the first place. At this time, I just doubt that a convoluted twin theory is what sold them on it. And I really hope both Lilith and Lucifer get an earful from Charlie for fucking over Eve (and Adam). They're very clearly painted as the obvious heroes of the story... A little too hard actually
>>155207747>Why does the fandom think that the narrative is pushing the theme of "everyone WILL be redeemed?" It's all about choices. How is that not clear to people??You don't get it. Redemption in this context is like consent. You may consent, your girlfriend may consent, but if people on the internet aren't consenting the your sex isn't consensual. Even if the season 3 is all about Valentino finding redemption and all is perfectly executed, a lot of people aren't going to like that on principle. People in general aren't really accepting of redemption, because its complicated, but the internet in particular is very bipolar. A person is either good, or he did something and they are bad forever.And in case of Valentino we are dealing with rape, abuse and other things that are viewed as unforgivable. Alastor being redeemed after him killing people for fun the fans will accept, but Valentino being redeemed after raping Angel Dust? C'mon.I'm not really asking from the point of narrative, cause there it's obvious - if Valentino really tries for redemption, he should receive it according to Charlie's heartfelt believes and narrative themes. But imagine people's reaction on Twitter/X: "What do you mean abusers can be redeemed? Vivzie is a literal Nazi!!!"That's why I'm asking whether she really understands what she's doing with humanizing Valentino. I like that she does so, but I wonder if she understands the consequences the narrative around that creates. The plot is already handled a bit amateurishly, even if I like it.
>>155208025I see your point. I was answering regarding the narrative specifically, but if you're asking about what you listed... Then no, I don't think Viv really knows what she's doing. I could absolutely see her redeeming Valentino, however well executed it may be, and maybe even playing it for laughs. I just don't think she really thought about these themes through. I think if people are expecting some deep metal analysis on redemption, whether that's something people deserve, whether that's something they can earn despite being a zoophilic pedo rapist who was on Epstein's Island, etc people are going to be really disappointed. That's not what these shows are. They're not going to really comment on that sort of thing. That's why I wonder why she didn't just do more of a typical Heaven vs Hell kind of thing. Why tackle redemption? But whatever.
>>155208085I fucking hate/love this.
>>155208014scrumptious fluffy guitarspear... you just know she's the one who crawled under him like that too.
>>155208085>>155208092There's more
>>155208085Would this make Cain Meg or Stewie?
>>155208102And the piece of resistance. The fact that this shit fits is hilarious.
>>155208102YESSSS
>>155208094He's her big warm weighted blanket
>>155199651You’re right, I didn’t word that correctly. I made it sound like there was originally an Eve character who was scrapped at the last minute and reworked into an already-existing character, Lute. That’s not what I mean at all.I’m saying the Lilith/Eve twin concept was own of the many ideas thrown around during development, maybe even the one Viv wanted to pursue most, but as the story developed, that concept continued to be discussed, changed and refined, as concepts naturally do. Eventually, we end up with Lute — aka, Eve
>>155208113>>155208102>>155208085he truly was the family guy
>>155208508Yup
>>155207160I'm fine with Radiostatic but find the fans' superiority complex funny because of how shoved in and unnecessary its focus was. You can tell it isn't even going to matter from now on so what was the point? Viv indulges the Vees fans in her crew too much.
>>155207298The assumption that Charlie will have much to do with the Valentino plot is too bold. Season 2 seems to be taking the show much more in an ensemble cast direction where Charlie is a touchpoint but every plot doesn't have her direct involvement or revolve around her. It wouldn't surprise me if the Angel Dust plot goes on without her for the most part, especially with everything else going on. Angel basically has his own supporting cast for his arc.
>>155208778I forgot the rest of it:As for Valentino's redemption, I think he and all the Vees' "redemption arc" is just going to be learning to prioritize their only shared redeeming quality, which is how much they care about each other. They'll probably give up power and their souls just to keep each other safe or something. The show will likely put forth the idea that anyone has the capacity to be better than they are right now, even if that doesn't mean they will become good people. Some have a long way to go to get there and some like the Vees probably never will.Now fans still won't be happy with that. They want Valentino eviscerated and permadead and will accept no less. But Viv can probably thread the needle by at least giving people the evisceration part without the perma death.However, I don't know how she'll pull off the Vees spinoff. The rapist trio shenanigans show feels like it won't go over well.
Name ideas for Zombie Adam and Lute!Eve’s hellborn humanity 2.0 children:> Skullcrusher… Razorwings… Mayhem… oh, Larry’s a good one. Any kid named Larry’s already had their trajectory set XD
>>155208888The concept of zombie Adam is cringe. Why does he have to be a zombie? Why can't he just come back to life?
>>155209794people see this shot (the og not the redrawn one) and think lute can't stand being around adam beyond professionalism like no she's not the one who looks nervous about this being exposed! >>155210532>'lute i think i need to go on a diet'>'who told you that? i'll kill them' >>155211498i honestly don't think either would be embarrassed or stop.
>>155211701They might stop for Sera specifically if they were supposed to be doing something professional.
Adam basically looks like David Tennant's Doctor Who if he let himself go.
>>155212307I'm sorry who?
>>155212402Who?Doctor Who?
>>155212536Don't make jokes. :(
>>155208107So Stewie grows up to be Black Hat or someone like Black Hat if hes Cain in the Hellaverse, kinda fits
>>155212307You mean David Tennant's Doctor, because the character's name is just "The Doctor".
>>155212961Actually the show's called Doctor Who because he's called Doctor Who.
Adam right before he regenerated into Matt Smith Adam
>>155213820Adam and the Weeping Angel
Adam's maskless look is based on his Va Alex Brightman. Take of that what you will.
>>155214580..... Right. And the sky is blue. Where have you been?
>>155214580It's based a bit on Brightman but mostly it's based on David Tennant as Doctor Who.
>>155214580>>155215569NGL it's kinda mean when people say Adam's ugly when he's based on Alex Brightman and then turn around and glaze Lilith like she ain't generic blonde woman.
>>155216146People who glaze Lilith are retarded. And to be fair I haven't seen much glazing for her looks? But then again, I avoid much of the Lilith fandom anyway so...Also, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the guy but he really does look like just your average Joe. Neither ugly nor handsome. So I get really confused when people glaze Adam like he's the most handsome guy ever. He is so incredibly averaged. Only thing he's got going on for him is his height... And his gut, if you're into that.
>>155216146Adam's hot, I'll die on this hill. He's hotter than any other man in this show. I think if you gave terminally offline women, like, quintessential suburban moms, a lineup of Hazbin men and asked them who's the most attractive they'd point to Adam (maskless). Some might choose human Vox but if you used a screencap like this >>155213820 it'd be Adam.
>>155214580>>155216146>>155216217i know lucifer's INTENDED to be sexy but he's just hideous to me. never saw the appeal, while lilith is every generic sexbomb design ever. adam's way more appealing to me specifically because he's a normal looking dude with bonus squish and surprise surprise, people do like normal looking dudes. he stands out in the cast specifically because he's got a chiller design.
>>155216273Lucifer is like Voldemort and 11 year old Draco Malfoy rolled into one ugly being
>>155216273Lucifer is such a nothing, design wise. I was surprised that this was a character that intended to be aesthetically pleasing, because it really doesn't look like she tried at all? He looks like any other of her character is pure. Dare I say, when comparing the two, Alastor looks a lot more interesting and fappable.
>>155216273>lilith is every generic sexbomb design everNow that you mentioned it do people only like her because she has Jessica Rabbit rip off proportions? Cuz other than that she's pretty standard.
>>155216301Judging from the fact that RA is popular because women find Al hot and Lucifer is just there for them to self insert into the short soft uwu boy and take deer cock I'd say Alastor is more interesting design wise.
>>155216273I swear I'm not trying to be contrarian or "akshually" But like per your own admission, Adam is relatively normal/ average looking. Which of course is going to stand out when the rest of the character designs are extra. That's my point though. Whether someone finds him unconventionally attractive or has a fetish for fat guys, isn't really my point. I'm just arguing that he's average / normal. I guess it's kind of bothers me because Viv liked a tweet saying that Lilith, the first woman, is this bombshell, while Adam is normal, "some guy". They should both be conventionally attractive.
>>155216300God you just made me realise that fact and I'm hating every second of it.
>>155216346Absolutely, even if you're not into the fuck ass hair or the colors, I don't think the design is bad at all? And his human design is definitely cute. I'm surprised Viv didn't design him, as far as we know, to be aesthetically pleasing. Whereas Lucifer, she did? That's so sad lol. Like ... that's her trying.
>>155216273Just from my observations most women who find Adam ugly aren't attracted to men in general, or are mostly attracted to other women IRL but make exceptions for certain stylized cartoon men like Vox and Alastor. People who are attracted to men IRL usually think Adam looks fine.
>>155216360>Whereas Lucifer, she did? That's so sad lol. Like ... that's her trying.It's probably a byproduct of her trying to make him attractive to her specifically. Thing is that just makes him the creator's favourite fetish goblin. Some folks like licking feet and find them super attractive but that shit doesn't apply for everyone.
>>155216522What's she gonna do to him
>>155216544Test him to see how much food can fit in his stomach
>>155216570Well? What were the results?
>>155216592Inconclusive. More food is needed.
Guys, I keep seeing all these industrial dairy trucks pull up outside the laboratory. What are they doing in there?
Your choice for Hazbin threads on /co/ right now are Adam force feeding or Niffty shitting.
>>155216765What?
>>155216802There's a second Hazbin thread up talking about Niffty pissing and shitting herself right now >>155211283
>>155216815Isn't it kinda redundant having two Hazbin threads?
>>155216848We have a Hero thread and a Dark thread just as the good Lord intended
Sooo.... I'm almost done with that Lute master Google doc thing (I'm collecting every/most commentaries, interviews, threads, etc that talk about Lute). This was supposed to be a Lute/Eve doc thing since people were asking about it. I don't know, for me personally, I think just the links and articles and all that stuff is more than enough evidence. I normally dislike any theory threads that just have a lot of yapping and my opinion. I was thinking after I finish this, I would make one specifically for Lute/Eve but I don't know if that's way too much. What do you guys think?
>>155217040I'm excited to read it! Before you make it public make sure you're doing it on a throwaway Google account and make sure you removed the tracking parameters from any Youtube links or I guess Tiktok links if there are any. Youtube is retarded and will leak your channel name if you used the link you get by clicking the share button.I genuinely don't think you'll have any trouble from anyone here at all (not even the bug honestly) but I'd hate you to get a callout from some Twitter idiot who hates your theory enough to try and cancel you for some nebulous bullshit thing like having no antis in bio or interacting with SitaraDawn.
>>155216868>adam will never sit on you while making broody hen noises and pecking anyone who dares to disturb youwhy fucking live
>>155217101Noted!!!
>>155217101Nta But how the hell does one remove the parameters on a tiktok link?
>>155217319I have no idea since I don't use TikTok but I know it leaks your username.
>>155200004>>155200037This unironically. I was sold an adult cartoon about horny devils and I am getting my horny devils damn it!We already have that helluvaboss collaboration with a lingerie ship with Leonard and verosika outfits why not a collaboration with bad dragons for real demonic genitals? Give us pentious hemipenis and cherri bombs monopoly!Also I unironically want a spinoff or something for pornhub. Ralph bakshi gave us fritz the cat so can viv. Make rule34 mainstream!
>>155215569Oh people were arguing about what actor hes supposed to look like and its Canon that he looks like Alex brightman.Wonder if Abel is meant to be Patrick stump too. Seems to have the same blond hair and babyface. And if he was a new addition to the cast for sure they'd base him off his VA if he didnt have a set design already.
I'm tired of looking through the Guitarspear tag on Twitter and seeing posts about "Queerplatonic" it's just an extremely boring way of saying "Getting no action" and I diagnose people who say it with humongous gay
>>155216765Can we have a 3rd one for cherri bomb fucking? Specifically ducking the first guy she saw at Club Consent and took to the sex room?Same room that same guy dragged pentious into.
>>155217758I never fucking understood this term. It's like... Okay, so you're extra super best friends who live together??
>>155217833Nobody cares about Cherri, not even you
I don't care for the show but I want to fuck multiple characters
>>155217758>>155217850from what i can tell it's either >a desperate attempt to make a cishet ship 'worthy' of fandom discussion under the queer umbrella instead of standing on their own>fear of backlash for a toxic ship so they pretend there's nothing romantic/sexual going on to escape (one time i saw a fanart for some random fotm where they'd drawn two characters making out and tagged it something like 'QPR ONLY if you tag as the ship you're blocked!') >dumb kids too scared of romantic and sexual relationships to admit they have crushes on their friends>a catch-all term for relationships with the 99+ flavours of asexual that exist for some reason which is the least objectionable on the grounds that it actually simplifies something.
>>155217850You know how poorly socialized girls think they must be enbies because they think women all women are barbie doll caricatures? It's like that but for people who think romantic relationships look like Hallmark movies.
>>155217882Im curious as to why. Why is cherri such a nothing burger, especially with her role in sir pentious' storyline. She could have been his second chance at saving that prostitute from Jack the ripper.
>>155218098Viv kinda forgot to make her actually interesting.
>>155218173Many such cases.
>>155218098They ruined any potential this ship had in the pilot. Squandered all of it in the series. They also set her up to be apparently a good friend to Angel, only for the series to destroy that. She is so fucking unlikable and then the times she acts decent, she contributes nothing interesting.
>>155218098Cyclops designs kind of suck in general and she's not even the best cyclops girl in the show. Niffty and Vaggie are better.
cherri's there because otherwise husk has to carry the hotel's side of angel's entire subplot by himself and it'd look even weirder that nobody else apparently cares.
>>155217040I think you should make it for bragging rights. It never hurts.
>>155218218She's fucking horrible to Pentious and the love story angle is forced. Doesn't help that they're apart now and Pentious is more entertaining with Sera and Emily.
>>155218307Lmao That's a fair point. It really shouldn't be too long because it's just... sourcing references that I'm already listing. The only thing though, what sucks, is that I can't list really any leaks or other such information. But it's really not needed. Okay, thanks for your guys's input. I'll make sure to do one for the theory specifically.
>>155218319In the Pitch Bible, he was actually supposed to have a crush on Rosie. That would have been 10x times more interesting if they insisted on making Cherri this way.You know, I can't help but wonder.. If Rosie really is Lilith, regardless if she's Charlie's biological mom, or the nice Lilith that maybe raised Charlie for a little bit, I wonder if Sir Pentious' crushing on her was supposed to allude to that (you know, because... Snake/serpent. Lilith. Lol)
>>155218098She was originally going to be more of a bad influence on Angel than a ride or die, which would have been a lot more interesting than whatever they're doing with her now
>>155218374I mean, that's the vibe I got from her debut. Which is like.... That's fine, obviously they set that up even in the pilot. It's just her attitude with him that is fucking gross. "Angellllll You've been texting me depressing shit all day :\" and doesn't let the poor fucker rest, knowing exactly the kind of work he does.
>>155218173Oh yeah. Perhaps got lost in the shuffle as she retooled the Angels and Demons arc to Hazbin. Apparently she was a Demon Hunter named Diza who would have dated Izzi, that cyclops demon from the Addict video. Now shes filler.>>155218218Ooh how did fanmade cherrisnake go? I only got into the show on Amazon so I know nothing of the pilot era stuff. Just know it was a canonized fan ship.As for being a bad friend to angel wasn't that the point? Shes the tempting devil to contrast husk's redeeming angel. >>155218244Oh I was hoping shed be Miss Fanservice along with angel's Mr fanservice. Basically be his fellow club slut and give het men/WLs some titilation. Guess that's what we have dominatrix niffty for.Fun fact they had that leather kink stuff at least way back in the 30s so for sure living Niffty could have been a Domme in the 50s.
>>155218430fanmade cherrisnake cleared my skin and watered my crops. It was exactly why I was so excited to see it in the series proper.
>>155217850My take is they reinvented the bromance. Like how tomboys are nonvinary now because they are girls who do boy things.
>>155218359Oh they changed a lot from the pitch bible. Basically Baxter was supposed to be the new resident and be the mad scientist. And Mimzy was supposed to be a perminant cast member. In fact she helps pent do a love ballad for rosie.Wonder if that meant Baxter would have been redeemed and would have had...nope hed still be madman with niffty.
>>155218374Question: what is picrel and where from? I am guessing this is an audition sheet. Is there a collection of BTS and prototype stuff? People seem to have these rsre stuff like character sheets and the pitch bible but I dont know where to look.
>>155218663Some people have uploaded it on Instagram and Reddit. Literally just look up pitch Bible or the audition sheets. I do know the audition sheets were leaked from the patreon itself.
>>155218448Elaborate. Most of the stuff I see is them having snake toddlers or her helping him pass eggs or fishing him.What was the dynamic? I was retooling them. Basically pentious was the lolcow of hell and cherri was his biggest troll. She considered him a "friend" while he did not but his redemption process made him appreciate her more. Same cringing as her debut episode but what really tilted the scales was him getting wasted by Adam. She felt that was too far and now figures she'll never see her favorite vi tim again. Season 2 she defends his name and honor when they besmirch him and then the ship sails.
>>155218673Will do!Fuck there is a treasure trove of content. No doubt completely outdated now hah.
>>155218798Actually, the audition sheets are still pretty spot on. The sheets contain several voice lines, I guess for the actor to run through all of them, and then the writers or Viv pick the ones they like. Almost everything we've seen in the show are there. So you'll see alternate dialogue that could have potentially been picked and would have made it in the final cut. I really liked the Lute ones lol they show how abusive she is to the girls. I wish they would have kept it in, because stupid larpers are under the assumption that she actually cares about them.
>>155218405Eh maybe its just me but I read that "depressing shit" line as her way of saying he was in a funk and shes here to cheer him up. They both banter and bust balls afterall. Especially when she was offering him drugs and telling him to not worry about work for the night. Not the best solution for that case but she was looking out for her bro the only way a party girl knows how. Could have been done clearer I bet.
>>155218878I guess the delivery coupled with her facial expression / demeanor, at least for me, came across as her being really annoyed versus, "Hey I know you're feeling bad, so let's do something fun!" Like, eh, I guess I can see that's what they were going for, I just didn't like the execution. Viv has issues with execution at times. Or I'm stupid. Or both. Either way.
>>155218857Ooh ooh examples? Im guessing these are linereads to show how they work as a cast. Hence two of cherris options involving a second character.
>>155218922I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't upload them. I'll try to remember to post here later. But.. The other exorcists names were Clitorissa, Labianne (yes I'm serious) - In one, she's training them, saying that she's been too lenient with their training lately, and then breaks her arm, calls her a pathetic whelp. In another, I forget what the girl did but Lute told her she cut her food and expected her to demote herself by two ranks. Shit like that. Very Dragon Queen. I dug it. It would have driven the point home that no, she does not give a fuck about these girls like how the larpers want her to
>>155218956Also, I mean, we can deduce that from her audition sheet where it says that she will, without hesitation, leave you behind if you make a single mistake. Kind of weird for a character like this to have the song 'Salute by Little Mix' in hindsight. I wonder why that is. Oh wait, no I don't lol
>>155218919Nah a lot of stuff seems first drafty so of course they'd be awkward and confusing first run.Like instead of cherri taking everyone to the club she should have done the old cliche of throwing a house party when Charlie and Vaggie are gone. A way better piece of evidence against angels supposed redemption would have been taking advantage of Charlie's charity rather than go out for drinks instead of...bible study?Also would make that infamous scene make more sense. Rather than a club having incidental sex rooms its just randos hooking up in the spare bedrooms.Oh and then Velvette or. Valentino catch wind of some wild party happening at Lucifers abandoned dump and then we get real stakes.
>>155218956> Clitorissa, LabianneMentioned in the playbill! Therefor canon!Bet all this stuff was in the original scripts but due to the episode count getting cut from 12/20 to 8 they had to scrap a lotnof stuff.Hopefully in the end we get the FMA Brotherhood treatment. The show was proven a big enough hit to warrant a proper retelling.
>>155219082Were they?? I don't remember them in the play bill!
>>155218956I mean if she's Eve and the Exorcists might be copies/based on her as a template she might punish them and abuse them as a form of self hate. She could see them as an extension of herself and feel disgusted whenever they display weakness.
>>155219091I swear I saw those names in relation to Adam. Or the Exorcists. Like adams bio talking about his exorcist army or something.I know that's where we learned about Buddy McSluggy (that slug who wanted to touch Charlie's parts and jerked off to all of angels movies) and the Speaker of God from Seras bio.
>>155218976>she will, without hesitation, leave you behind if you make a single mistakeAll the more interesting that she never holds Adam's weakness in his final fight against him?
>>155219099That's literally my theory. To a T! That's exactly what I think is going on
>>155219131Clitorissa and Labianne appear in the audition sheets only! Maybe you mixed them up? I can't recalled these names appearing anywhere else.
>>155218857When the audition lines were posted, everyone HATED Adam for some reason, then he ended up being the board's fave character.I still mourn Chodey Foster to this day
>>155219143Yup. I'm keeping in mind to shut down the larpers after the Eve reveal if they keep asking as to why Lute was abusing the Exorcists.
>>155219133She really wants that first man dick.
>>155219169Her figurine literally says that.
>>155219160Looks like they took this idea and applied it to Val instead
>>155219158I swear I saw them elsewhere because the quote you gave came from...wait wait the audition sheet is the one with the picture and has the audition song right? You may be right then hah! I stand corrected.
>>155218956>>155219082>>155219131>>155219158for some reason the thing that's throwing me is the idea that adam knows enough about female anatomy that he knows what a labia is. >>155219160also apparently a film buff for knowing who jodie foster is.
>>155219225He did tell vaggie that he named her after the best thing ever. Dude has a special interest.Hah wonder if that is a one off joke or if he is supposed to be every kind of bro out there including film bro.
>>155219286Imagine how many one night stands he kicked out in the middle of the night for having cringe woman opinions on movies.
>>155219199Yeah, sorry, admittedly I'm calling them both the audition sheet. So there's the audition sheet that lists the characters blurb, who they are, what role they play, and their song. Then there are the.... I really don't know what to call them? Audition lines? But those are different, correct. But neither of them are in the playbill
>>155219286this also means that if adam's not touching the clit or the g spot it's completely on purpose. >>155219327>watching angel dust's 'spider in the stable'>'oh my god you dumb bitch it's OBVIOUSLY an allegory for the political situation of poland circa 1965'
>>155219327Nah more likely he bullied them into the right opinion. Or something. Just going off of him bullying that virtue chick into sleeping with him.Say with all the talk of rape from valentino to pentious "having sex with everyone" has anyone addressed the virtue chick? It sounded like coercion especially since she was originally into the drummer....now I am reminded of his bio in the playbill saying he is popular with all women. Imagine if that's what he thinks but in reality he just coerced them into bed. Dark shit.
>>155219428>he calls lute straight after to come finish the movie with him>she always appreciates his mansplaining and shows just the right amount of humble awe at his sophisticated taste in movies
>>155219509I'll be honest, it did not come across to me as coercion, it more so came across as she was fed up with his persistence and just gave him some coochie to shut him up. I've said it once and I've said it again, people are way too caught up with the idea that Adam was actually important. The virtue chick, who by all intents and purposes should know exactly who he is, was not initially interested in him. He's a loser! He's that guy who talks a big game and says all this shit. That's blatantly untrue, like him getting pussy (probably after begging a lot) and being rich and being famous. Lol
>>155219423Nah my bad I confused your linereads for the audition sheet. Forget if it was for adams sheet or.lutes.
>>155219509No, in the play bill it said that he was voted the biggest dick in heaven (very much a joke, double meaning, nobody likes him) and that everyone wants him and thinks he's super cool. I like it. I like the idea that the first man is just a loser lol
>>155219549That's part of the joke. He's a loser but so is Lute, but they've got each other's backs. They only like one another LOL. They're each other's biggest (only) fans
Alex Brightman did say that Adam is like, this 40-year-old guy who's still wears his high school graduation ring. He's a loser! That's the point lmao
>>155219549> I'll be honest, it did not come across to me as coercion, it more so came across as she was fed up with his persistence and just gave him some coochie to shut him up.What do you think coercion is? He literally did not take no for an answer in this interpretation. And to add tonthe dark tone most angels and winners are agreeable by nature and would most likely fawn over fight/flight/freeze/fawn.
>>155219750It's a virtue, not a winner.
>>155219750To give in because she's scared? Which I don't think she was. I think he was being really fucking annoying. She didn't want to hear any more of his bullshit. She's a Virtue. She (probably) could get anyone she wants.
>>155219758Implying higher choir of angel would have resisted his coercion and therefor this chick was into it?
>>155219750"to jse force, power, or threats to make someone do something against their will." That's what they're saying, it would not have been unwilling. She eventually gave in to shut him up, doesn't mean that she didn't want to. He was just low on her list, thought of him as a loser. That's what I'm saying. Just because he's the first man doesn't mean he's above the virtues or the other Angel or powers. He's just the first human man who has an honorary title
>>155219802Yes...? She has more power than him, she could have just easily zapped him away. And archangel ain't shit to a virtue angel. He thinks he's the shit because he's the first of his shitty species, and now he has a fancy title (honorary) with clip-on wings. He can't force any of them to do shit, save for the winners maybe. Also it's clear this Heaven wouldn't endorse sexual assault or coercion.
>>155219540>if he ever talked to angel about this angel would be DELIGHTED that someone actually noticed the hidden complexity of his work.
I don't like how Adam fucks Lute. I hate the implied lack of respect she has for herself for being cucked.There, I said it. I'm sorry. I'm not saying it's his fault because he doesn't know apparently her feelings, nor would he owe her a romantic relationship. Him not knowing just makes her look even more pathetic. I can't
>>155219872cucks ++
I wonder why they're leaving Adam's feelings ambiguous when it comes to Lute. I would say that it's straightforward that he clearly didn't like her back, but the crew hardcore shipping it makes this confusing.
>>155219966Honestly maybe S3 will shed more light on the situation. S2 couldn't give that much critical information right away.
>>155222211Cute.
Can Abel do this too?
>>155223053If he can he'll never use it.
>>155223053I don't think he's an archangel.
>>155219966Not reciprocating is the generic and 'easy' narrative answer. Aka - here's our crazy villain going even crazier because she's deluding herself that Adam was in love with her. However I think we the audience would get some more narrative cues if this was the case. Keeping it ambiguous suggests the situation is way more complex than that and we'll get a payoff. We don't know exactly why the situation is difficult (one popular theory is he never dared to cross a line with her out if fear he'd fuck it up and lose her) but there is probably some reason for it. Viv is an experienced fangirl and more than any other showrunner I can think of she's fully tuned into the shipper fangirl experience. She's said somewhere (I'd love to find it again) that she takes a lot of pleasure in making the ships she likes canon after buildup and then feeding the fans with lots of merch. She is somewhat of a romantic and if I were to guess which version of the Adam and Lute dynamic she prefers I think she'd prefer it reciprocated.
>>155224265Yeah, I think that's where this is heading too. Especially if the alleged Adam/Eve endgame spoiler
Viv's approach to ships in general is different from most other showrunners - most will brush off questions about shipping and give the impression they think it's something silly that fans will do in their own time but don't really want to engage with it. Gooseworx made statements early on in TADC that there wouldn't be any shipping in the show and fans could do what they wanted because it wouldn't affect canon. Viv on the other had says multiple times that there will be shipping, there are ships she herself likes and dislikes and she's not subtle about it. She considers the shipping element a core part of how viewers will interact with her show and it's a pretty refreshing stance.
>>155224421Consider also that neither character has any serious alternative potential love interests and I'm sure that must be where this is going eventually.
The other thing is that if the writers were trying to portray Lute as a silly delusional lovesick girl then why doesn't she agonize over Eve or consider what Eve means to Adam at all? Oh yeah, because that's her
>>155224494Interesting how we get zero input on what Lute thinks of Eve. We could maybe say that she hates Abel BECAUSE he's Eve's kid?
Trust me. There will be no Christmas in 2026.
>>155224813Shut the fuck up. You aren't wanted.
Men should be treated like this
>>155219842Do we know if virtues outrank Winners? In Hell the Sinners outrank most of the Hellborn except Goetia and Sins.
>>155225980It's a Virtue. It's the equivalent to a Sin.
>>155225980>>155225996There's two ways to interpret the term. The first one would be how the show calls the Princes of Hell the Sins so in turn their countering Archangels would be called the Virtues.Going by angelology Virtues are the 5th choir in the heavenly host sitting between the Dominions and the Powers (who are suspiciously like the Exorcists. Food for thought)The Seraphim are the highest ranking angel in the heavenly host.
>>155225996If she was an equivalent to a Sin he would have namedropped her.
>>155226103>the show calls the Princes of Hell the Sinswhat
The Seven Great Demon Lords would body the Hellaverse sins
Sorry to be a stick in the mud: Lucifer created Hell, the Goetia but more importantly, the Sins. Yes, this has been said in the Patreon several times.Why do you think Satan sings "Looks like we were betrayed by one of our own." when referring to Stolas in Mastermind?
>>155226130Who gives a fuck.
>>155226146Me, I care
>>155218319I'm pretty sure Cherri being horrible to Pentious is the point because he's going to get with Emily or Niffty (I'm betting on Niffty.)
>>155218374I think this would have made the audience hate Cherri Bomb and Cherrisnake which is not the direction Vivzie wanted to go into.
>>155226207He's not getting with Niffty. Pure delusion
>>155226207Emily would be tight, because Cherri would see her as a straight upgrade over her (which is accurate)
>>155219509If Adam had been coercing women since before the extermination then that's a sign Heaven is corrupt.
>>155226293The Exterminations are already a sign Heaven is corrupt. Are you dense.
>>155226314Sorry*that's another one of the signs
>>155226293it also renders sera's arc far more complex because now she has to reckon with thousands of years of letting adam face zero consequences for doing this, which would be weird considering how focused her arc has been on purely the exterminations so far. she would've known what he was doing; he was bragging about it! it'd also narratively be off to have a woman put to task for adam's crimes considering adam's already had the ultimate punishment in death, but sera's the only one left to take that accountability since lute's just a subordinate.
>>155224433This is because viv herself was and is a big shipper correct? Like how a creator who was big into death battles would provide excruciating stats so they and other death battle fans would have canon accurate battles.Viv and the hellaverse seems to touch a side of girl geekdom few ever do. Very rare.
>>155226117Lucifer,Satan,Mammon,Beezelbub,Leviathan,Belphagor, and Asmodeus are called the princes of hell in demonology grimoirs like the lantern of light and the lesser key of Solomon. Each rules a specific sin and so Viv simplified it and just made the title "Sin". Like Asmodeus is the Sin of lust not the Prince of Lust.
>>155226491ok. not sure what this has to do with the Hellaverse.
>>155224433>Gooseworx made statements early on in TADC that there wouldn't be any shipping in the showthat's just a liezooble and gangle literally had sex in the end and the tranny made every female character a lesbian
>>155226207Evidense of this? In the show proper Pentious declared cherri a rival and picked fights with her, then became an offputting simp when they hung out at the club. She even tually warmed up to him in the following episodes while he kept backtracking. Then we got the battle the big damn kiss and then his death and redemption to which season 2 shows cherri had feelings for him which ends in a long distance relationship. Is this love triangle between cherrisnake and niffty a new bug-Lute Crack theory?
>>155226230Would have given her more character though.
>>155226505>Tranny lies that something won't happen to discourage fans doing what they want only to insert their poorly disguised fetishes near the end.Nothing new sadly.
>>155226501Assuming you were >>155226117 you asked "what" in response to me saying the hellaverse refers to the historical/canonical princes of hell the title of Sin. I clarified that how viv adapted these mythological characters into her shows.
>>155226509First off, I'm not Bugcuck. I'm Nifftyschizo. Second, I'm pretty sure the show is going to condemn Cherrisnake because their relationship is being built up to be toxic. In Piss they literally say that every brush with death meant much more than a kiss and the whole song isn't even about love but about them missing the violence, death and pain that came with their rivalry. Violence, death and pain isn't allowed in Heaven for obvious reasons so Pentious either needs to let go or Cherri needs to change. Plus, what do they have in common beyond creating gadgets albeit Cherri's gadgets are a lot less impressive than Sir Pentious'. Honestly, I feel like Cherrisnake is a relationship used by Evil/Roo to corrupt Pentious.
>>155226666Close enough. Welcome back TransLute/Bugcuck
>>155226670I'm not Bugcuck/TransLute.
>>155226689>close enough.See? You're illiterate just like him too. This will be fun.
>>155226702Dang.
>>155226666>I feel like Cherrisnake is a relationship used by Evil/Roo to corrupt Pentious.Guys I can't tell if this is more or less deranged than the bug-demon-Michael demon Lute or the Zestial / Cain TransLute had going on...
>>155226716Well he seems more chill by comparison so I'll give him the pass. TransLute was an impolite dickbag with an ego the size of Texas regardless of his theories. That's what made him super annoying( funny when you consider he supposedly hated Lucifer the sin of pride despite being a prideful shit himself).
>>155226666>Cherri needs to changeIsnt that why she joined the hotel proper, for redemption?During her debut episode Angel invites her but while she's glad he likes the redemption shit she's feeling so great she'll fuck the first guy she sees (who was this shirtless fuckboy who dragged pentious into the sex room during that infamous scene). Only after pent dies and she tries learning about him does she change her ways and accept angels invitation to the hotel. I dont blame you for thinking the ship is toxic. It is horribly implemented fanservice as cherrisnake was a fanship from the pilot era. Originally pents role would have filled by Baxter and pent himself would have been an incidental character who had a crush on rosie. One scrapped episode woukd have had the hotel gang (which included mimzy) do a love balled with pent for her.And cherri herself would have been in love with another cyclops named Izzi, who back in the original zoophobia angels and demons arc would have hunted other demons alongside the exorcist angels. And cherri (named diza back then) herself would have been a demon hunter too.So much shit got butchered a d shuffled its a miracle the show is coherent t as it is now.
>>155226823a group of sinners that had decided to throw their lot in with angels and willingly acting as death squads in the 'off season' in exchange for their own safety from them would completely explain two of my biggest problems with the story - why carmilla was out running around during the most recent extermination with her daughters in the first place, and why the exorcists dump their weapons. consider: angelic steel becomes normal steel after it is stained with enough sinner blood and cannot be restored, so it's necessary for the angels to dump their half-done weapons to keep the allied death squads adequately stocked for the rest of the year (because they don't respect these sinners enough to give them fully charged weapons). meanwhile, carmilla would be competing with the death squads over who would get that year's worth on angelic steel and decided the risk of picking up the weapons while the extermination was on-going was worth it. vaggi's weapon is still in good shape because she doesn't use it.
>>155226823Adam and Lute saved the show
>>155226887they really did. i have no other characters i'm as invested in and i'm saying this as a fujo tumblerina who by all accounts should be all over radioapple but instead no, guitarspear is all i crave.
>>155226904Good taste.
Does anyone have any insight into the Radioapple vs Radiostatic shipping wars? I feel like there must be hideous and hilarious things going on which we have no knowledge of.
>>155226904Guitarspear is pure female gaze. Many het ships are seen mostly through the male POV, I wonder if this has any impact on your tastes.
I feel so bad for laughing at this.
>>155226914It's just retards Vs other retards. Like both are fundamentally annoying and kinda deluded.
>>155226933So it's like Morning Glory Milking Farm where the dubious stuff is from a female fetish perspective so it's considered hot?
>>155226887>>155226904>>155226933Its ironic as to my understanding they seem to be show exclusive. Like I dont think we even get hints of them in the pilot outside of the Exorcists themselves and the head angel leading demon killing in the zoophobia arc was Adina who was more zealous than callous. Add the fact it was Amazon's advice to make him an aging rock star and for all we know Adam and by extention Lute were not vivs creations.
>>155226933Isn't most of the hellaverse female gazy? Or female oriented? Toxic yaoi fujoshi shipping and such. Can explain why Chaggie is so dull compared to other ships. There's no man in the picture.
>>155227072i wonder if chaggi would've been better if the 'more than anything' reprise was them actually admitting their feelings for each other, with 'easy' being their first time being intimate? although that'd make the 'vaggi raped charlie!/charlie raped vaggi!' idiots even more insufferable so maybe not.
>>155227087Vaggi and Charlie raped each other. You couldn't perceive it in the show proper because they were raping each other at the speed of light. I know this because Vivziepop told me at a party while I was on drugs.
>Aaaah! I'm dead!>...>But wait. Before I ascend into Heaven free of all sin, I have a few other thoughts I'd like to share, since I will no longer be working in television, which will sadden advertisers and prevent me from appearing with Guns n' Roses at Phillips First Union Centre in January.>Y- Because I'll be dead. I think I said that earlier. So, to summarize:>Classic rock will be forever changed!
>>155227065Nope, they were foreshadowed in the pilot.
>>155227155Adam appeared to be more bird-like with the feathers and everything.
>>155227155What were these two supposed to be again?
>>155227155Count Olaf looking motherfucker
>>155227065>>155227155That's not really them. In the pitch bible they're just referred to as 'leaders of the army'. My wild guess is that Adam and Eve(Lute) were made specifically for the show. Vivienne has never drawn or mentioned either Adam or Eve in any capacity pre pilot era(s)
>>155227240adam's personality is stated by vivzie to be A24's suggestion in the commentary. she was really struggling with 'old' adam because he was too real and unfun, then they suggested making him more of a rockstar type and she went wild with it. an excellent decision on her part and i think she'll pull off whatever she's planning with them because of it.
>>155227287Yes, by that time, they are already working on the show. She made Adam specifically for the show.
>>155227287And again, Adam and Eve are never mentioned in any of the pilot or pre-pilot material.Going on a slight tangent, this is another reason I don’t really buy the idea that Lilith was originally Eve and Viv later switched their identities around. Lilith existed as Lilith in Viv’s work long before the show. So what, she carried this character over into the series, kept the name Lilith, and then completely changed her core identity? The alternative almost seems equally strange: Viv created this character as Eve from the very beginning, years before Hazbin became a show, but consistently presented her as Lilith and somehow never let that slip during all those old streams or discussions. Viv is a really bad liar. Neither explanation feels particularly convincing to me,
>>155227340I second this. That would be like Lucifer turning out to be Adam In disguise this entire time. It doesn't really make sense.
>>155227375In addition to the Adam we thought was the real one actually not having anything to do with the real Adam at all. God I really hope Viv is not going through with this shit. That would be so sad.
>>155227140Fuck me he was such a defeated, sad looking little guy until he realized Lute was there and cared about him. Fuck.
>>155227500That smile is interesting. Honestly if Lute turns out be be Eve I'll be happy because it changes this moment from " I guess a woman actually cared about me" to " Ahh you were at my side all along". Don't know why the fandom loves the first option so much.
>>155227531>Ahh you were at my side all alongFUCK This will actually make me cry
>>155227500and people really see that face and then the smile and their conclusion is 'in his last breath, adam decided to make sure he did as much psychological damage to lute as possible to manipulate and bind her to his will with trauma forever!!!' and are being completely sincere.
>>155227531>>155227533https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkvdpZmIGtw
>>155227533Honestly I kinda just ripped off Ludwig's speech from Bloodborne. Still works though.
>>155227544Damn. I see you caught the reference.
>>155227558i could see lute crafting a doll of adam like gehrman did maria. of course speaking of marias, lute heading to silent hill could be fun if she ran into a gentle soft-spoken man who asks 'do i look like your commander?'
>>155227534This is too retarded. I refuse to believe this is real
>>155227693Shut the fuck up faggot.
>>155227534Someone told me that in their opinion, the smile didn't mean anything lol
>>155227534To be fair, Adam treated the exorcists like shit. If he doesn't know Lute is Eve I'd imagine he'd treat her horribly too.
>>155227767He didn't though. From the get-go, the show establishes their dynamic. If right after watching season 1, you think that he treated her exactly like any other foot soldier, then I'm afraid you're retarded.
I like how the fact Adam and Eve abused the Exorcists further complicates Sera's arc.
>>155227720????????? they let claude post on 4chan now?
>>155227789It's been a while since I watched the show.
>>155227811Clearly.
>>155227811Who's Claude?
>>155227797"B--b-buh she only abused them because she was forced to!! Lute actually cares about the Exorcists soldiers!!!!!111 who? Vaggie? Nah that bitch is phoney, can't trust her for shit.."
>>155227819Claude Ayeye
>>155227842What
>>155227850Claude is an AI, I think.
>>155227767No. He obviously didn't know she was Eve (maybe had a feeling but probably didn't figure it out until his last moments). You're also forgetting the one that was beating the Exorcists was Lute. Adam was complicit by letting her go to town on them but he wasn't the bitch slap king.
>>155228010Do we actually know he never hit them though or are we extrapolating from one scene where it's Lute who's doing the hitting and Adam has zero problems with it.
I could see Adam throwing things at some Exorcist he doesn't like. Like hey bitch, catch
You think Abel fucks the exorcists when he's horny?
>>155226689They're being paranoid.
>>155228208That's not Godly.
>>155228176I mean if they wanted to have Adam pimp slap a bitch they probably could have added it in a scene there. Having only Lute do the disciplining is definitely a choice.
>>155228521Closest thing we have to Adam pimp slapping an exorcist is when he pimp slapped Charlie with his super strength. Wait, maybe that's why Adam doesn't hit the exorcists. It's because he'd kill them if he did. I mean, he was able to destroy Alastor, the strongest sinner's, forcefield.
>>155228610Yeah, we know that he's got no problems hitting women if they're his enemy. He was pretty brutal with Charlie, he was going to crush her throat.
>>155228610That punch was so fucking funny. Like he didn't even put his back into it and it immediately threw her off her feet. Made her "epic" line kinda goofy in retrospect.
>>155228751Lute probably masturbates to the thought of how easily he could kill her if he wanted to. Of course he wouldn't. But he could.
>>155228751it was also with his bad arm that she stabbed with the angelic trident, which is also the arm he holds her up with.
>>155227087Oh yes yes so much this!!! I woukd have loved a slow burn from friends to lovers like that! They were originally just friends until animators noticed they seemed very romantic. Fuck a slow burn from x-to-lovers would have been brilliant t in the first season then we deal with the stumbles and fumbles of relationships next season.Chaggie = friends to lovers, huskerdusk = enemies to lovers (angel antagonizes husky a lot), cherrisnake = friends/enemies to lovers (wanted cherri to think of pentious as the nerd she likes to mess with while he legitimately views her as a rival)Wonder if the ships are so faulty due to be essentially tacked on fanservice rather than being part of the plot. Vaggie and angel were originally a couple and the focus way back when.
>>155227174Warm and soft.
>>155228880Imagine if we got fluffy bird dragon Adam and Lucifer would still be a midget Onceler rip-off. Hilarious.
Nifftious: Average guy and girl relationship.
>>155228953British man and Japanese woman. The Shogun wouldn't be surprised.
>>155228947You people really love making fun of Lucifer lol
>>155227240From what I can comprehend I think when viv was retooling the angels and demons arc into its own thing she realized she could also do a feminist retelling of genesis while shes at it leading to the weird and brilliant Snarl that is adam and lute(eve)As >>155227287 points out adam was rewritten into a Rockstar from his "too real" personality. I reckon he was a genderswapped Adina whose masculine take on her smiteful zealotry came across as too cruel and brutal. So he was decompiled into dudebro who just likes killin' and his companion who has all of Adidas fervor. Tie that back to feminist genesis a pig headed callus first man would scare off the first woman lillith and vivs main thesis of why eve was unfairly blamed for the fall of man manifests as eve(lutes) utter disgust for sinners and feminine rage.
>>155228986Yup. Try it.
>>155228953Amusing as baxter was meant to have pentious role. And both these old timey slimey scaly scientists got cyclops girls representing their modern eras it girl.
>>155229030The real reason why Lilith left isn't because she is a bitch but it's because of Lucifer's cringe obsession with ducks and him being bad in bed.
>>155228986He claims to be the Sin of Pride but he's more of a Damn Shame.
>>155229041Can't wait for when they both cuck each other in Season 3.
I really like the Alternate Universe idea where Niffty is Sir Pentious' henchmen.
>>155229055I mean if he forced her to wear a duck suit and peg him with a corkscrew penis strap on while he made accurate duck noises I can't blame her.
>>155229120I think way back in the zoophobia era she could have been. Maybe be a daughter.Gotta read up again but he was originally a 30s style mob boss and had at least a son and a daughter to do his bidding. Also he was the size of jormangondr.
>>155229165Is that where the "Harder daddy! Son?" joke from the pilot came from?(Is it still considered canon in the show that he believed for a sec Angel Dust was his bastard estranged son?)
>>155203471Kinda weird Abel is the most favored child thats why his jealous brother killed in a nutshell
>>155229165I found the reference sheet.https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/zoophobia/images/1/1a/Xanthos_ref_sheet.png/revision/latest?cb=20210212140620His design in Zoophobia was a mess maybe even overdesigned.
Is he fucking back?
>>155229298It's a new face called Maybelline.
>>155198901>>155199316>Licensed merch confirms the obvious >Femcels shit their whole ass over it >Also another checkmark for the lute is obviously eve tally
>>155229313Lute=Eve just keeps winning. Does make all the larping posts around her and Adam even more confusing. That crap will age like ass.
>>155198901This show is highly satanic because it has DEMONS and HOMERSEXUALS
>>155229436Lazy ass bum. At least check the thread before posting that shit.
>>155229483This guy is in all the generals. It's not a hazbin thing
I predict Adam and Lute will HAVE SEX and maybe even KISS and HUG
>>155229429people wanting to cling to their own theories is whatever but i really really want to see how the 'lute and adam's relationship was MUTUALLY platonic/siblings actually' crowd is going to react.
>>155229652>i really really want to see how the 'lute and adam's relationship was MUTUALLY platonic/siblings actually' crowd is going to react.I think they will fuck off from the sheer humiliation. Maybe kinda like what happened with people who really hated Powden after the CSM ending.
>>155228176>>155228010I don't agree with them not hitting the soldiers. It's the same logic people use with Velvette even though it's been confirmed that she likes to roofie people. She's very clearly a rapist in the same way Val and Vox are, but because we're not seeing it on screen, it gets excused and justified to hell and back. I feel like Viv would get skinned alive if she were to show man on woman violence like that. At least in that specific context. It doesn't matter if he does it with Charlie because they're in the middle of war.
>>155229694The one chick who insists Lute is a butch lesbian with a harem of exorcists will be cgoing through it
>>155229239Not a clue but it would be amusing if ol penty pulled so much tail hed have bastatds running about. Alas sinners cant breed. >>155229289Hah what vivziepop design isnt? I think she helped popularize the sparkledog craze. https://zoophobia.fandom.com/wiki/DemonChrist there is a hoard of demons we could have had. Wonder if we could mine them for info.
>>155229557>>155229483Most likely a gag. Notice how they mispell a word for comedic effect.
>>155229749Sparkledogs were around long before Viv and she was not particularly influential to the trend at its peak but she was certainly typical of the average sparkledog fan
>>155229775Huh I stand corrected. Reverse it then she is a child of sparkledogs
>>155229792I'd say they were more a byproduct of the browser based pet games that were big in the early 00s. Neopets technically, but even moreso the indie websites like WajasSource: I was there.
>>155229729I don't get this line of logic. That is literally not Lute
>>155229749The demon, Hilda, is very obviously Rosie's inspiration and her role in Zoophobia might mirror Rosie's.
Having read it I can confirm Zoophobia is a terrible comic. I like it, but it is terrible. A bunch of the important characters never show up in it because she never got that far. As a creator Viv has some great ideas and they're best when tempered with input from others.
>>155229984Also, pretty sure that the husband she's talking about is Franklin.
>>155229893That's exactly why we call them Lute Larpers.
As an example: ostensibly Zoophobia is a comic about a human woman with an animal phobia getting isekai'd to a world of talking animals (hence the name) but the human barely gets any focus after the first few pages and it veers off into other disconnected shit very very quickly. Helluva Boss' premise shift and the lack of focus on Charlie in Hazbin S2 spring to mind
Also of all the characters in the comic to choose from, including tons of anthros and demons and vampires, Viv was definitely setting up a love triangle between the human chick, a feral talking fox and a feral talking cheetah
>>155229729jesus christ it really is only a problem when a man does it for some people.
>>155230034Franklin seems to be a woman Rosie worked with.
>>155230060Wow, so Viv always had this writing flaw and she didn't learn a thing in all those years. This does not bode well to her writing skills.
>>155229984Oh not just her there are countless retools. Kinda what makes the shows confusing. So much slapdash with characters. Apparently cherri bomb was an angel and angels daughter and she got merged with Diza for.modern cherri. And I think Izzi the demon hunter got retooled into a softboy boyfriend of angel going by now discanonized sinstagram posts.
>>155230223YupHasn't changed since she was in high school
>>155230029I think this is why so much lore came from Faustisse. She was basically vivs curstor/wrangler.
Viv is freaky (affectionate)
>>155230060>>155230223>>155230233She literally makes it up as she goes along. Makes.me very skeptical of her and sam hafts claims that while shuffled and chopped there is a full cohesive and epic story shes been working on.
>>155230267
>>155230244>wranglerSounds pretty accurate
>>155230229I didn't find anything about Izzi being Angel's boyfriend.
>>155230060Hell didnt the zoophobia shorts just ignore Cameron alltogether?
>>155230324To be fair Cameron and her two feral bfs are teachers and the shorts focused on the students at the school but she did become a side character in her own comic almost straight away.
>>155230205Yep. That's the one I'm talking about. This is Hazbin. Franklin is probably a crossdresser
>>155230395The correct term is "brave" drag queen(I'm fucking joking).
It could've been an Edward vs Jacob for the ages if only Viv locked in
>>155230233Christ I might be losing my mind. I swear I saw a few character Instagrams of Angel having a boyfriend that had Izzi and diza/cherris bug eye gruly mouth and worm tongue but he was in a sweater. I assumed he was either a full retool or another of the "species" izzi and diza were.Cant find them on the wiki.
>>155230363Hah fair enough. She jumps to every better idea she stumbles upon. We got Hazbin out of thinking a mere storyline could stand on its own!
Honestly I'm pretty excited for the Zoophobia miniseries. I wonder if they can keep it focused on Cameron? Maybe?
>>155230519Yeah, didn't Hellaverse start as a spinoff of Zoophobia? And then she made it a separate thing.
>>155230564Imagine if we see alternate universe versions of the Hazbin Hotel cast in Zoophobia, maybe a crossover or the confirmation that Zoophobia's Hell and Vivzie's Hell are one and the same but Zoophobia's Hell is for non-human sophonts.
>>155230564Not a spinoff but a specific story arc she didnt implement just yet. Then she watched bojack horsemen then decided to read genesis through a feminist lense and here we are!
>>155230617Nah recall her saying the two depictions are too differnt from eachother.We did keep the 7 rings of hell though and they were ruled by vastly differnt characters. Instead of Asmodeus Lust would have been ruled by a wacko so horned out sex is boring now. And there is canonically asexual.
Has Viv ever mentioned Adam or Eve before the series?
>>155230757Nope. Closest we got to was Lillith in the Pilot which had to relate to Adam and Even by virtue of neccesity.Supposedly the leaders of the Exorcists weren't even named Adam or Lute.
>>155230917This kinda gives credence to the idea of Viv picking Lilith as Charlie's mom because she wanted a cool figure for her OC without putting much though into what it would mean for the greater story.
>>155230952"Lilith", at least who we think is Lilith, isn't even Charlie's mom. I'm pretty sure Charlie's bio mom is Roo.>>155230917This further leads me to believe that Lute is Eve ngl
>>155230952Bet it was out of mechanical necessity and stuff just fell into place after that. In the original arc she was a regular sinner demon from the 1800s who was gonna be the Hotels den mother. Guess Disney sensibilities made viv turn her into a princess of hell, meaning she is the daughter of the king of hell, which required the queen of hell so on and so forth.Explains why shes so neglected in the story. Tacked on afterthkught
>>155231136>Tacked on afterthkughtViv doesn’t always execute her ideas well. I’ve never disagreed with that. But this is such a weird thing to criticize her for because… this is literally just how story development works? Elsa was supposed to be a villain. The Emperor’s New Groove was originally a completely different Prince and the Pauper-style movie. Ideas change. Characters get rewritten. Entire plots get thrown out. That’s development.
>>155203252Seth was his favorite.
>>155231615she didn't know st peter was a person, you think she'll know seth?
>>155231667
>>155203252Wasn’t it obvious already? Why do you think his halo is dented?
>>155231628I’m giving Viv some grace here because what she apparently didn’t know was that Peter was considered a real person, not that Peter was a biblical character. Those are two completely different things. If your knowledge of religion is pretty limited, I can understand assuming that someone who appears in the Bible is no more historically real than Eve.
>>155203252Sam Haft indirectly mentioned Cain back in November 2025.
>>155232134Comfy
>>155232154Imagine cuddling up against Adam's sweaty belly after a long day
>>155232384he's sweaty because lute's been lying on his belly all day and he's very uncomfortable but obviously cannot move.
>>155231628>>155231788$50 says she only knew of that figure as the doorman of the pearly gates because of all the cartoons that show that bearded angel in that role. Like 96% of her peers. The critics who pull him up as the first pope and being middle eastern instead of a faaa-bu-lous!!! Blue eyed blond haired white twink were just looking to bash her for the gazillionth time for the uptillionth planvk-agression.
>>155232950>$50 says she only knew of that figure as the doorman of the pearly gates because of all the cartoons that show that bearded angel in that role. Like 96% of her peers.Yeah. Far be it from me to actively white knight for this woman, but a lot of the stuff people shit on her for is for crap that most other creators have done. It's just ~cool~ to do it to her because she's such a fucking lolcow. If she didn't know Peter was a biblical character, then I'd raise my brow. It's really not that big of a deal.
>>155232950oh yeah i'm not saying that as an indictment i'm just pointing out that this is pop-culture christianity/half-remembered stuff from her religious upbringing. i agree that the bible-thumpers are arguing in bad faith because that was obvious from the show starting with 'heaven was a big city and then the angels made humans' instead of 'the word' but none of them ever bring that up for some reason.
Almost forgot to upload. I wonder what she means by "I expect you to demote yourself" ??
>>155233776rations existing and actually mattering since losing them is a punishment implies you could starve to death in heaven.
>>155233043Oh it is t Bible thumpers bringing up the authenticity and ethnicity of st Peter. Barely any alt righter/anti-sjw is aware of her. Just arch Warhammer and nuxtaku as far as ime aware and they like it!Nearly every vivzie anti is some form of woke candle culture mob who say she doesnt go far enough or actually has the problematic church humor and sexual stereotypes that people love about her work. Fuck her most prolific hater was limus, a Trans video essayist who pulled a damn crusade against agngel dust's portrayal of a sex abuse victim despite actual victims claiming hes a spitting image of their experiences.Not directing this at you but I hate how the religious right is being scapegoated for vivzie hate and purifiers while were at it when all evidence points towards left wing ideologues and their flavor of moral puritanism. Until recently having their iconography adopted to checkmate the atheists the Bible thumping evangelical church monkeys were largely quiet and out of the spotlight which basically let the left winger nut jobs take their place.Fuck viv is what left wing culture was supposed to become.
>>155234078If we assume the same hellborn/sinner split for heavenborn/winners the latter are immortal while the former are not. Fuck imagine how dark it would be if Adam specifically requested the exorcists to be mortal that way. And that's why angelic steel kills thenA hahaha hoisted by their own petard!
>>155233776Perhaps she doesnt have offical power to demote other exorcists. Ooh ooh Perhaps angels of all types are agreeable and eager to please and do good and furious eve!lute takes full advantage of that! Its repentance for lacking diligence!
I want to fuck cherribomb in the ass.
>>155199139Personally I just find it funny that it was previously said Vaggie was one of the Exorcists' best, and based on every actual fight she's ever been in that isn't a stealth dance training montage either the Exorcists' standards are REALLY low. Or Adam was being REALLY nice for literally no reason considering he was blackmailing her at the time.>>155199316>>155199363Sometimes I don't know who's more retarded, the showrunners or the fandom.>>155199490I also have no idea why people are surprised shit can be changed this much during development. Remember when Vaggie was literally turned into an angel because Vivzie really liked some dumb fan theory, but she still has a noticeably similar appearance and clingy character dynamic with Carmilla because reasons?
>>155230757No, and I really don't think they're that important to the story comparatively for that reason. Charlie being Lucifer's kid and also connected to the root of all evil is more important. Since people here think the Eve/Lilith shit got switched around so easily that should be doubly clear. This isn't going to become the Adam and Eve show so prepare yourselves for disappointment.
>>155235286Yeah, this. Adam/Eve/Lilith are just designated bosses for Vivzie's OCs to overcome with luck, pluck and mostly just plot armor and everyone in the show being retarded.Expect nothing, then lower your expectations further. Especially after last season the final conflict was resolved with a fucking FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC moment.
>>155235108>Personally I just find it funny that it was previously said Vaggie was one of the Exorcists' best, and based on every actual fight she's ever been in that isn't a stealth dance training montage either the Exorcists' standards are REALLY low.It's a testament to how little they know how to fight. I thought it was clear that they don't. Lute, strangely enough, is the only one that knows how to do offense and defense. Adam is just a dude that can throw punches and shoot lasers. I don't think he can fight-fight like Lute. Also, Vaggie's main feat was a high kill count, not necessarily that she "fought" better.>I also have no idea why people are surprised shit can be changed this much during development.People in this fandom would call Elsa going from Evil Queen in the concept art to typical Disney Princess a 'retcon'. They don't understand how development works.
>>155235286>Eve/Lilith shit got switched around so easily that should be doubly clearI don't think it ever was a thing like how people think it is. Per the leaks and a former employee, it was just something Viv spoke about. I think it was an idea that she liked but it obviously was never a solid thing. People think it's a conspiracy, that Lilith was Eve this entire time (meaning, pilot era) because Lilith looks evil. They don't get that 1) definitely not. It'd be weird for Viv to never slip up and say that's Eve and 2) she was clearly Roo/Evil, if anything. Lute IS Viv's Eve (assuming the theory is true).>prepare yourselves for disappointment.We're all expecting it. Adam and Eve/Lute, esp if they're going to end up together, is going to attempt to paint them in a bad light, I'm sure. This will become the Lucifer/Alastor show.
>>155235367>I thought it was clear that they don't.I mean to be fair, until the show declare the Exorcisms have only been going on for 1 day a year every 7 years, I'd argue the general presentation of the Exorcists as a threat the Overlords were scared shitless of was that they were.Well.Actually threatening.Instead of it being explained as everyone, literally everyone in the Hellaverse being retarded, and the angels that cast down Lucifer in his flashback just not mattering for plot reasons. Keep in mind it's canon you don't actually need angel metal weapons to fuck them up. You can just drop big rocks on them. Even if that didn't technically kill Lute, imagine if someone just held down an Exorcist and ripped off their limbs.It is all just a retarded gay musical, and trying to read more into it is like complaining about Cats not explaining what makes Jellicle Cats so damn Jellicle. I hate this show, but goddamn it's almost as painful watching people desperately read more into it than it presents as it is to watch it.>They don't understand how development worksI don't even like Vivzie's ideas of development but some people REALLY cannot accept their fan theories getting torched.
>>155235406>Adam and Eve/Lute, esp if they're going to end up together, is going to attempt to paint them in a bad light, I'm sure.Frankly I think it's really optimistic to hope that plot will be resolved at all instead of Lute just getting unceremoniously getting stabbed by Nifty too and the girls and the faggots running off to do something more plot relevant. Remember, this is the SAME show that shamelessly baited fans with Gravity and then gleefully had Lute doing nothing of importance other than remind you that Vaggie is worthless at the end, before getting put in her place by Abel growing a pair.
>>155235435>Keep in mind it's canon you don't actually need angel metal weapons to fuck them up.True but you do need them to actually kill them tho.>almost as painful watching people desperately read more into it than it presents as it is to watch it.I felt this in my soul but I won't lie and say I'm probably one of those people. We like to have fun here.>I don't even like Vivzie's ideas of development but some people REALLY cannot accept their fan theories getting torched.Dude... I don't know if this is just THIS fandom or modern fandoms, but people don't know what pilots are either. The amount of people going 'bUt It WaS iN tHe PilOt' makes me want to rip my hair out. That's not even Viv's fault. Do y'all know what a PILOT even is???!?!?
>>155235455>shamelessly baited fans with Gravity and then gleefully had Lute doing nothing of importance other than remind you that Vaggie is worthless at the end, before getting put in her place by Abel growing a pair.Eh I mean... I don't necessarily disagree because Vox has his songs in season one. But yes, I do agree there was bait because they used it to promote the season. To do a proper setup they should have put this song at the end. Fun fact, they were going to bait us even MORE: Sam Haft confirmed they recorded an additional portion of Hear My Hope (Lute was supposed to respond to Abel with a reprise of Gravity) they just didn't want to include it a third time and not have her do anything. But they DID record this with Jessica Vosk. It kills me because I want to HEAR IT.
>>155235492Also, Gravity is heard in the background when they dropped the Season Five announcement video. She may end up being the big villain after all.
>>155235455>I think it's really optimistic to hope that plot will be resolved at all instead of Lute just getting unceremoniously getting stabbed by NiftyIf we're using the leaks as a base: Charlie forgives Eve for her sins (something something power of friendship) and it's revealed that Roo was in the background orchestrating .... errr, everything I guess? So my guess is Lute will throw a tantrum, get a friendship song and change her ways, maybe sacrificing herself(?) If she lives, she'll just be sidelined a la Peridot. That's it.
>>155235466>to actually kill them tho.See, that's the thing. Going back to my angel guro proposal, you can definitely render them helpless without actually killing them so...why does that matter? Arguably, if you look at it Valentino style, dismembered angel torsos you can whore out/leave around as warnings to Heaven/lock up to use as hostages are more valuable to Hell than corpses. Angels don't seem to grow back bodyparts unless they have the Power of Love(TM) and a sufficiently dramatic song and dance number.I guess that's why Lute needed a prosthetic, apparently you are supposed to believe nobody in Heaven including the fucking Speaker of God gives a shit enough about Lute to heal her. Well, that or healing magic straight up doesn't exist in the Hellaverse.>We like to have fun herePersonally I am following this show from a position of horrified fascination and contemptuous hatred due to it technically having the same motifs as other media with Heaven-Hell fights I enjoy VASTLY more. It's like watching a Tommy Wiseau movie, I'm here to see how bad it gets.I truly hate this show, but I will also never pretend it's anything more than what it is, or hope for better just to get disappointed about anything other than song quality. I will say only one thing in it's favour: I liked the songs in S2 better than S1. S1 sounded like it was trying too hard and S2 like they'd found their footing, if that makes any sense?>just THIS fandom or modern fandomsI assure you, it is not just this fandom. It doesn't help that shit like Patreon/Backerkit makes some people think if they shout loud enough and then say "but I gave you my spare change!!" they can dictate the course of the franchise.>>155235492>they were going to bait us even MOREI have to respect the hustle at a certain point of shamelessness. You can really tell how involved Amazon's best marketeers are with this shit.
>why does that matter?Also let me point out as far as we can tell, Exorcist-tier angels don't seem to have any magical powers at all other than flying and poking someone with a stick. The fucking CHERUBS in Helluva Boss showed more magic. They are purely physical threats.>>155235540On the one hand, whether you consider things like Lucifer being unable to harm sinners all along (but perfectly able to harm angels because ???) retcons or not, the writers write this show so off the cuff I've just given up on predicting anything. At all. I just don't see the point when the writing is so slapdash it's not even clear how special Vox's never actually fully explained popularity-based powerup actually works among Overlords (like do the OTHERS get fame powerups? Does Valentino get stronger from more people being horny for him? If he does, shouldn't Velvette be OP as hell from being the fashionista/social media gal? Shuddup it doesn't matter) that I am just expecting curveballs no matter how little sense they make.>Charlie forgives Eve for her sins (something something power of friendship) and it's revealed that Roo was in the background orchestrating .... errr, everything I guess?>Warcraft Jailer writingThat said, this IS stupid enough to be plausible.
>>155235574>Angels don't seem to grow back bodyparts unless they have the Power of Love(TM) and a sufficiently dramatic song and dance number.The schizo in me wants to say Lute isn't healing her arm because she's (formerly) human versus a heavenborn creature. Aside from that, does an arm and wing count as the same type of body part?? In this context, I mean. Her arm not healing could also be a form of trauma blocking or repression. Maybe she's too caught up in her own grief and emotions that her body isn't... healing properly. Pure speculation though.>If that makes sense.It does!>I assure you, it is not just this fandom.That makes me feel a bit better. I was actually worried. Still crazy though.>You can really tell how involved Amazon's best marketeers are with this shit.Imagine the even shittier story we would have gotten had Amazon/A24 not 'suggested' changes for Viv's stuff. Going off on a tangent... Viv saying how they 'suggested' to change Adam from a 'too real' sappy(?) bitter dude to ... well, what we have now, cements that he and Eve were written just for this show. Say what you want about Viv, but she sticks to the core parts of her characters, even if they go through major changes. The fact that she changed Adam so easily means she wasn't as attached, meaning he's a relatively new character.
>>155235637>Lucifer being unable to harm sinners all along (but perfectly able to harm angels because ???)Okay see so this I don't agree with. How are people confused about this? It's very cut and dry: he can't harm sinners because it's part of his punishment for wanting to fuck (with) them, so here are the fruits of your labor (not pun intended). It has nothing to do with angels ESPECIALLY because he is literally trapped in Hell.
>>155235406It's not that it's going to be the Lucifer and Alastor show as such, though that will get its focus, but the show is sure more of an ensemble cast now than anything. Thus it also isn't going to be the Charlie centric show that people want it to be. Further proof is that they'll still clearly focus on the Vees as one of the factions of that ensemble cast, too, even with little reason for it and little connection to Charlie herself. People who think Alastor will mostly exist to serve Charlie's story will be disappointed, also. He has his own storyline and at many points Charlie is a convenient figure in his story rather than the other way around. Lute will have her crashout storyline and if she's Eve, she'll be a somewhat sympathetic antagonist for Charlie to put down with the power of friendship and that's about it. If anyone thinks she'll be fully validated and everyone punished for doing her wrong, that won't happen. Overall, I think this ensemble style will make everything feel smaller and less deliberate. I don't trust that all these siloed plots will marry back together in a meaningful way.
>>155235680>because he is literally trapped in HellHis power can evidently be used to blast Heaven from it. Look I'm just saying, I get that it's an ironic punishment, I just think it's weird you're supposed to believe the angels ALSO trusted him enough to NOT protect themselves against his retaliation after deciding he deserved to be, you know, condemned to Hell.Mind you I don't think this is an unsalvageable premise actually. S1 already established Lucifer has /some/ pull with Heaven since Charlie can only succeed in this show through nepotism and he was able to get her a meeting with Adam. It wouldn't stand out to me if they'd even lightly acknowledged what kind of relationship Lucifer has with Heaven instead of just leaving it completely unanswered. As it stands, it's just weird to me Heaven clearly understood Lucifer did bad, evidently still is worried about him based on some angels' reactions, but can't or won't stop him from hurting them in retaliation. Which is the only reason why Team Hazbin weren't slaughtered by Adam.
>>155235680This. I also get irritated with people who are like "WHY WOULD THE ANGELS NOT MAKE HIM UNABLE TO HURT ANGELS." They clearly have nothing to do with Lucifer's punishment just like they have nothing to do with and know nothing about what gets souls into Heaven or Hell. Lucifer's is a cosmic punishment like other Sinners. And if angels didn't keep going there, he would have no way to touch them at all. Why would being unable to hurt angels be part of his cosmic punishment anyways?
>>155235742>If anyone thinks she'll be fully validated and everyone punished for doing her wrongI'll be honest, though yes I am biased but... I don't understand what -exactly- expect or want Lute's big villain moment to be, assuming she's NOT Eve. She's just rando Exorcist Unit #345435 - again assuming she's not Eve... no established long-term background that ties her in with Charlie or Lucifer. It'd be like fucking Saint Peter getting a villain arc. What's the most that can happen with her? At least if she's Eve, there's hope for a significant payoff that ties in with Charlie / the main gang.
>>155235768>I just think it's weird you're supposed to believe the angels ALSO trusted him enough to NOT protect themselves against his retaliationI don't... agree? They didn't trust him. He was perma banned and confined to Hell. The cap is on Lucifer himself. Vox using him to power his maching that CAN reach out to Heaven wouldn't be affected by any of this. I just don't get what's NOT to get...>but can't or won't stop him from hurting them in retaliation.To be fair... CAN they strip him of his power at this point? If they were going to put that sort of cap on him, I wonder if they still could?
>>155235656>Aside from that, does an arm and wing count as the same type of body part??No, but if the schizo in you wants to argue with me that the Power of Love(TM) is better at healing some body parts than others.I am not feeling schizo enough to argue about how much love you need to heal a wing vs an arm.>feel a bit betterI could go on a rant about Destiny 2 as well, but that game has enough problems from both sides and isn't even run by a competent evil corporation.>he's a relatively new characterI mean he didn't even show up in person in the pilot, I'm not surprised he seems like he is a bit of a tonal shft from what was shown there>>155235789>cosmic punishmentThis is contradicted by Lucifer's own song visuals showing that he was apparently ganged up on and smote by taller angels in Heaven. I mean, it's vague enough it could be ANYTHING, but based on Lucifer's own explanation to Charlie it wasn't any kind of cosmic anything. God is hands-off in the Vivzieverse because Vivzie doesn't want to catch smoke from religious pundits. The angels did that to him, period, far as we know.
>>155235789YES. Exactly. As far as they know, he's trapped there (he is) so the possibility of him harming them is off the table. THEY'RE not going down there for formal meetings and the like unless it's holographic form. And when angels go down there, it's Adam and the exorcists, TO WHICH THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT to. I genuinely do not understand the confusion of "But if Lucifer can't harm sinners, why can he harm angels?!?" One has NOTHING to do with the other.
>>155235821He may have been cast down to Hell by a group of powerful angels, but extreme doubt that they orchestrated his inability to harm Sinners and so they could hardly make it so he couldn't harm angels, either. That is the cosmic element of his punishment that seemed to originate in Hell.
>>155235821>I mean, it's vague enough it could be ANYTHING,Brother with all due respect, but HOW? It's very clear and in your face. It's not vague at all. It's even in the opening narration: "Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked."
>>155235813Alright well, we'll have to agree to disagree because I feel S2 did more than enough to show Lucifer is still a massive potential threat to Heaven. Even if you assume the beam only hit Heaven because of it technically not being done by his will, he fucked up up Adam. I guess you are really supposed to assume Heaven was content to leave Lucifer alone but ALSO were happy to send the dumb frat dudebro to deal with Hell's population problem after whatever deal with cut by Lilith. It's a dumb, poorly thought out cap and the show has done less than nothing to disprove to me Lucifer COULD hurt Heaven on his own.This can of course be resolved if you just assume Heaven is retarded, this is a musical, and Vivzie wanted her villain clowned on. Which is the real explanation. I'm just saying based on the premises established by the show, it's a dumb one.>CANFrankly we know so little about how magic works, period, in the Helluverse that the showrunners have left themselves enough room for the answer to be literally anything. I don't just mean archangel powers, I mean we literally don't really know how magic even works for REGULAR demons.COULD BLITZO HAVE JUST DISINFECTED LOONA'S DOG DISEASES BY DOING A FATHER DANCE WITH HER?
>>155235857>but extreme doubt that they orchestrated his inability to harm SinnersLucifer specifically says this is his punishment. Why would the angels just throw him down there? Heaven threw him there, trapped him there and took away his ability to harm sinners. Sera is *up there* in power: she can absolutely do this sort of thing.
>>155235870>ALSO were happy to send the dumb frat dudebro to deal with Hell's population problemYes because they had a deal with Lucifer. He agreed to this. He has no reason to hurt Adam until it came to his daughter. Viv confirmed Lucifer doesn't give a shit about sinners. Just his own (hellborn and family). Aside from Adam and the girls, nobody else would have gone down there (until recently I mean with the gift baskets)
>>155235865>HeavenRight back at you. Heaven in the Vivzieverse is not some numinous force; until the Speaker for God showed up it wasn't even clear how present God was.Heaven is just where the angels live. Which means, based on everything we've seen as evidence in the show so far, that angels did it to Lucifer.>>155235857>extreme doubtDo you have any evidence other than "it just doesn't feel right"? Because I can just keep pointing back to all those tall angels surrounding Lucifer.Mind you I don't necessarily thing you're DEFINITELY wrong, like I said the show runs so much on vibes I have just given up on making sense on Vivzie's ramblings when she will happily throw last minute ideas like Vaggie being an angel in the show if she likes them enough.It's all pointless. For all we know she'll make Lilith trans because she read a fanfic and it got her wet.
>>155235870>Lucifer COULD hurt Heaven on his own.No, he can't. He's trapped in Hell.
>>155235907>they had a deal with LuciferMy point is we don't know shit about the terms of that deal, and thus Lucifer's overall relationship with Heaven outside of it/how much of a threat they actually view him as etc
>>155235887If they had the power to do that, none of this would have happened. They would have also made him unable to harm angels, too. They'd have no fear of him at all.Lucifer understands he's being punished, yes. But he also isn't omniscient and doesn't know everything and the mechanism for all this as far as he knows. Heaven has nothing to do with other Sinners' cosmic punishments, why is it so hard to believe it's the same for Lucifer's?
>>155235924The big golden beam>BuT iT WaS ThRouGH VOx's MAchINEFor the sake of argument let's assume that is in fact an intentional loophole. You are asking me to believe Heaven trusted Lucifer NOT to convince some mortals to, say, strap him into a big machine and shoot Heaven themselves as revenge, AFTER condemning him to Hell? That they assumed he would never get desperate enough to do that?Because that might be the case honestly. But it keeps coming back to my point that the show only works because everyone in it is retarded.
>>155235934Also, it doesn't particularly benefit Heaven that Lucifer can't harm Sinners. Why not lift his punishment and ask him to deal with his people if they have the power to do so?
>>155235909>angels did it to Lucifer.Angels are part of that cosmic force though? You're making it seem like them doing something to Lucifer doesn't mean much. Lest we forget, Sera does God's job here in this show and literally creates Earth and the humans. She's effectively the role of 'God' here. Sam Haft confirmed she is extremely powerful, 'up there' in prowess. The playbill also confirms she is directly under the Speaker. Meaning it's God > Speaker > Sera. While Viv confirmed that she is not comfortable depicting God as a character, she did note that Good and Evil (the two figures we see in the opening) are the closest we'll get to deities; they embody the respective concepts. I think they are below God, though I guess we can argue that Viv is going for a more gnostic route (demiurge and all that) with these two. If you're saying they had something to do with it, I mean... sure? Maybe? There hasn't really been a reason to give that impression though. The angels can do all this.
>>155235934>They would have also made him unable to harm angels, too.No see, you're conflating things. Him being unable to harm sinners has NOTHING to do with him being (or not being able to) not harm angels
>>155235950That's the point, I think. Heaven is as clueless as the rest of the cast. That was the big reveal of season one. They react, they harm, they cast people out, but they are as uncertain about and subject to the higher powers that be in this universe as anyone else. They didn't orchestrate everything Lucifer can or can't do, for example.
>>155235950>For the sake of argument let's assume that is in fact an intentional loopholeIt’s not intentional. I seriously doubt the angels sat around accounting for this bizarrely specific scenario: who would? The punishment is: LUCIFER cannot harm sinners. That does not automatically mean “Lucifer’s power can never cause harm to a sinner under any conceivable circumstance.” He’s literally strapped to a machine against his will while someone else weaponizes his power/essence to harm everything within a 100-mile radius. How are those remotely the same thing? And again, the deal has NOTHING to do with being unable or able to harm Heaven. That's not the point of his punishment and banishment.

>>155236004I agree, though. I'm saying if angels did one, they could do the other, which is how you know Lucifer's restriction wasn't actually created by Heaven/other angels. It's its own thing.
>>155236115>I'm saying if angels did one, they could do the other,Okay I'm following you. Sure. If they can do one, they can do the other. They cast him out, confined him there and removed his ability to harm sinners.>Lucifer's restriction wasn't actually created by Heaven/other angels.You lost me.
>>155236139Why are you assuming they can't remove his ability to harm sinners? The show tells us this. LUCIFER tells us this.
>>155236139If Heaven can influence Lucifer's power enough to make him unable to harm Sinners, they could and would have done the same for angels to protect Heaven, too. They didn't because Heaven isn't behind Lucifer's inability to harm Sinners. High tier angels may have had the combined power to physically kick him into Hell but that's it.
>>155236166Lucifer doesn't necessarily say other angels did this to him regarding his Sinner restrictions. In fact, you could see the lines as him suggesting Hell is its own entity and a punishment unto itself. "It isn't a place, it's a punishment." But even if he believes angels did this to him, that doesn't mean he's right. Charlie assumed Heaven determined who got into Heaven vs Hell and found out she was wrong.
>>155236202No, you’re conflating two completely different things.Preventing Lucifer from harming sinners was part of his punishment; it wasn’t some universal protection Heaven placed on everyone because they were afraid of what he might do. Lucifer is trapped in Hell. Under normal circumstances, angels aren’t going down there in the first place. The only regular exceptions were Adam and the Exorcists, and Lucifer already had a separate agreement governing the Exterminations. Any other contact between Heaven and Hell seems to happen remotely through things like the embassy holograms.So I don’t understand the comparison. “Heaven was capable of placing a restriction on Lucifer as part of his punishment” does not automatically mean “therefore they would have placed equivalent restrictions on every angel to protect themselves from Lucifer.” Protect themselves from what? He’s banished, confined to an entirely different realm, and apparently the youngest of the Elders despite how powerful he is. The circumstances aren’t remotely equivalent.His punishment was because of the fruit, not because he wanted to overthrow Heaven.
>>155236239>that doesn't mean he's right.You're pulling straws where there are none. Don't tell me you also believe a whole rebellion war happened in this show, too?
>>155236241Okay but higher up angels express fear of Lucifer and his potential return and retaliation in season one, which they wouldn't if they could just turn off his angel-harming abilities like they did for Sinners. Also, why make a deal with him about not harming Hellborn in exterminations? Why deal with him at all and not just do what they want? All they have to do is hit the no retaliation button against angels.
>>155236253No, I believe they forced him out of Heaven into Hell, where a cosmic punishment akin to the punishment of Sinners (appearance change, no procreation, etc), which we know Heaven has no say in, took effect. Part of that was his appearance changes and inability to harm Sinners.
>>155236389Okay when you phrase it like that, I think I see what you're trying to say. To that I want to add: I think this is the thing Lute is afraid of. Heaven keeping Lilith around despite being the one who started this mess seems... odd. "The threat Adam warned us about is greater than ever! You have to make this decision NOW!" (Lute said this while they were ranting to Sera). I'm pretty sure they knew Roo was down there.
>>155236419>>155236389This would also make sense since it's been stated by Viv (recently within the start of the show) that sinners basically get absorbed into the landscape. It's making Roo stronger. So if Lilith is empowering these sinners, it's also making it stronger. That's why we see Roo's eyes all over Vox. I think the thing Lute was talking about and the thing Lilith was protesting / resisting against was Roo.
