Sera, Seraphim of Heaven

The head of the Seraphim Council is ready to answer your questions

[ask-sera]

Greetings, souls.

My name is Sera, the head of the Seraphim Council.

You may ask your questions here if you have any. But please keep a polite attitude.

Lutual Statement

After a pretty rough week with a lot going on, the Lutuals have decided that moving forward we will be a bit more selective regarding certain things. We love sharing our characters and developing new and interesting storylines for people to read and interact with and want to continue doing so while protecting ourselves and our mental health.

Please see below on the things we expect moving forward.

Asks, anon or not, will be deleted on sight and the sender blocked if they fall into any of the following categories:

NSFW - finding the characters hot is fine! Telling the mods what you want to do to those characters sexually is not!

Violence - show typical violence may be part of storylines or backstory to inform characterization! Graphically describing violence you would like to see done to the characters doesn’t! To vent frustrations with characters, please throw a bible at them; the mods will get the message just fine.

Hate Speech - the Lutualverse is a fun spinoff of the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss settings and isn’t the place for social or political commentary. We’re just here for the various shades of queer relationships; if you’re not, kindly move along.

Spam - many Lutuals utilize their queues for asks and submissions; if you sent it once, we probably got it and will answer asks and post submissions in due time. Sending more than once will just confuse Tumblr and annoy the mod.

To better form a cohesive, consistent universe with multiple storylines, the current Lutualverse is a set roster you can find here, all of whom have been vetted as 18+. As the blogs, storylines, and shows are 18+, it is recommended that minors do not interact.

Also, it has come to our attention that some blogs are claiming to be part of the Lutualverse despite not being official members.

While we appreciate that people enjoy our work, we DO NOT appreciate being impersonated or having unaffiliated members claiming to be part of our canon.

At the time of writing, the ONLY Lutuals are as follows: @joy-eris-joy @able-juice @silvireal @texanredrose @kambiteydragon @moreaustars @canibalistic-brownie @seecatrun @pseudobun @atttwoood

Our recently updated roster of characters on our Lutuals page of the Wiki lists all the OFFICIAL blogs we have can be read here (https://lutualverse.fandom.com/wiki/Lutuals).

Any new blogs or members will be announced by ONE OF US and will be LISTED on the Lutuals roster.

Any unaffiliated users claiming to be part of our verse WILL BE BLOCKED.

Again, we would like to stress that we enjoy the interaction and support. This is to protect us and better craft compelling stories. Thank you for your understanding.

For the last few months I have been preparing to take a job overseas and get out of the US. I've been so stressed getting my visa and stuff and now I'm falling short on funds for the last step. This is also why I've taken a rather large step back from my tumblrs. It has been a lot. I don't like to talk about myself on here much but I feel like this is my last opportunity to get out to another country where I'll be safer being myself. I really do hate asking for help but I'm down to the wire and I need as much help as I can get. So I'm putting the ask out there, if you can donate anything I'll be grateful. -Lilith💜

Ma'am, you have a beautiful smile!

She is silent for a moment, as if the words had not been anticipated.

That is kind of you to say. Kindness, when given without expectation, reflects well upon the soul who offers it.

You honor Heaven by carrying it.

[ask-sera]

Does Heaven broadcast human-world events? If yes, might I suggest telecasting the Winter Olympics? It’s a sports event that occurs every four years, bringing together Earth's top athletes to compete in a series of winter sports, from snowboarding and bobsledding to curling.

No. Heaven does not routinely broadcast human-world events.

However… we have recently established the ability to transmit select viewings to Hell. It is a controlled development.

The Winter Olympics, as you describe it, would require consideration. If it proves appropriate, and if it serves morale without distraction from duty, it may be reviewed before the next occurrence. For now, it remains a possibility. Nothing more.

[ask-sera]

Postponing the Exterminations was a interesting move. I am glad to see that you wish to absolve yourself and find another way. However I am still worried about the Exorcists. They were trained to kill and nothing more. Even on Earth, those who fought have difficulty navigating the absence of military structure, translating skills for employment, dealing with PTSD or trauma, and managing a lost sense of identity or camaraderie. Their mental health cannot be ignored, else I fear severe ramifications for Heaven.

Your concern is noted.

Some have already transitioned into new assignments with measurable success. Structure has not been removed from them. It has been redirected.

There are counselors in Heaven--many--trained to tend to trauma, identity displacement, and the absence of martial hierarchy. No soldier is being left without the option of guidance.

A slight pause.

And further adjustments are forthcoming.

[ask-sera]

If there was a safe way for redeemed sinners like Pentious to live in hell after redemption would you consider it if there were strict rules they had to follow. I’m not talking about an angelic asmodean crystal. I’m talking about a special watch that can only take them to hell or heaven. The watches would have password security & each redeemed would have their own password & nobody else but the owner would know what it was. The rules I would enforce would be no sharing your watch’s password,no substances stronger then alcohol,nicotine or weed & only in moderation,no turf wars,no harming others unless it’s in self defense or to protect someone,getting a job(mostly so they have something to do) & mandatory twice weekly visits to heaven,preferably Sundays & Wednesdays & for 24 hours each. the reason I suggested this is not because I want redeemed sinners to fall but to help their emotional wellbeing’s by giving them a change to be with their families in hell. Think about it. You will be helping reunite redeemed with their family & friends but with the rules & mandatory visits you will still have a level of control over them. Not in a dictatorship way but more in a way where you & emily won’t worry about them constantly.

We have plans in place. They will be tested in their proper time.

Initiative is not unwelcome. But these decisions are not the burden of winners to solve. That responsibility belongs to the seraphim.

You are not expected to design Heaven’s safeguards. You are meant to live within them. When there is certainty, you will be informed.

[ask-sera]

if it meant help more sinners get redeemed would you allow the extinction of imps? And no I do not hate imps.

No. Her answer is immediate, but controlled.

Redemption purchased through annihilation is not redemption. It is substitution.

Imps are a created people. Their existence is not a bargaining chip. Order is not preserved by erasing those deemed lesser. If more sinners are to be redeemed, it must be through choice, transformation, and mercy. Not extinction. That line will not be crossed.

[ask-sera]

hope this isn’t a stupid question but what type of trees did Noah used to build the ark? Like what species were the trees?

It is not a stupid question. The wood was called gopherwood. That species no longer exists.

It was resilient, dense, and slow to decay. It was chosen because it would endure what lesser wood could not.

No living forests carry it now. It belongs to an earlier age of the world. But its purpose was fulfilled.

[ask-sera]

What do you think you, and Heaven would've done if Adam, Eve, Lilith, all abandoned heaven and joined up with Lucifer?

That did not occur.

Heaven is not governed by hypotheticals. What matters is not what might have been done, but what was done instead. Our course held. Order endured. That is all that requires answer.

[ask-sera]

Sera I have to ask……. Where are god’s other Sons… I mean Like Gabriel or Michael and others???

They are present. Not all service is visible.

Gabriel remains a messenger. He does not linger where his words are not required. Michael ( @archangel-michael-of-heaven ) serves as Supreme Commander. He oversees Heaven’s defenses and the hosts that stand watch beyond its borders.

Others attend to duties older than this era, and broader than this realm. Heaven is not sustained by one voice, or one throne. It endures because each fulfills the role entrusted to them.

[ask-sera]

Speaking of Sir Pentious, do you think he should be canonized as the Patron Saint of Redemption? How do saints work anyway?

Canonization is not a title bestowed lightly. Saints are not symbols chosen for inspiration alone. They are recognized for a life, or transformation, that consistently bore the weight of faith, sacrifice, and responsibility. Sir Pentious demonstrated redemption. That is not in question.

Whether he becomes a patron is not mine alone to decide, nor is it decided quickly. Recognition follows long discernment, not a single miracle.

Her tone softens.

But he is honored. And he is respected. For a soul once lost, that already matters.

[ask-sera]

What was the opinion of the winners on Charlie redemption project consider some of the sinners hurt them (even though some sinners have family in heaven)

Opinions were not gathered. Winners are not a council, nor a constituency to be consulted.

Their safety is my responsibility. Their pain is acknowledged. But Heaven does not govern by referendum.

A pause.

Redemption was considered on its own merits, not by grievance. That is all I will say.

[ask-sera]

I heard a spicy rumor that You and Satan used to date. Do you have any retorts to those accusations.

That rumor is untrue. I have never engaged in such a relationship.

Association is often mistaken for intimacy by those who do not understand governance. My dealings with him were formal, limited, and bound by necessity.

[ask-sera]

Did the big man know about what you were doing? I mean did he know of the Exterminations?

He knew. There is nothing concealed from Him.

She pauses.

Knowledge is not the same as command. I believed what I permitted served order, and spared Heaven greater harm. That belief was mine to carry. He allowed me the responsibility. And therefore, the consequence. That is how it has always worked.

[ask-sera]

Sera… I have a good question….. where’s Jesus been this whole time?

That is not a simple question. Some presences are not absent. They are… removed from daily governance by design.

He does not stand in councils. He does not issue orders. That is intentional. What he represents must remain beyond administration, beyond judgment schedules, beyond politics.

A brief pause.

Faith is not maintained by constant visibility. It is maintained by what must be believed even when it is not seen. He is where he has always been needed most.

[ask-sera]

I was wanting to ask about that form you took when the sinner made you snap i guess you could call it a biblically accurate form

Is that something all seraphim/angels can do or is it something unique to you due to you postion?

Also is it something you can just trigger at any moment or is it tied to your emotions cuz we know your more avian side shall we say starts to show when you get stress heck most of heaven probably heard your screech when all that vox stuff went down

So is that form just what happens when you finally snap and get REALLY angry?

That form was not a loss of control.

It is an expression of authority, not anger. All seraphim possess aspects beyond what is ordinarily shown, though the extent differs. Mine reflects the office I bear.

It is not summoned casually. Nor is it tied to impulse. When it appears, it is because restraint is no longer sufficient to protect order.

A pause.

Stress may reveal small truths. Wings tense. Voice carries farther than intended. That does not mean judgment has failed. The incident you reference required emphasis. Nothing more.

She softens slightly.

You need not fear it. If it is present, it is because something must be stopped, not because I have snapped.

[ask-sera]

How much do you know about sinners? I was wondering if they all have full demon forms, or just the extra powerful ones like overlords? Also do winners have similar full power forms?

My knowledge of sinners is limited, and largely procedural.

Not all possess full demon forms. Power among them is uneven, accumulated over time, influence, or pact. Overlords are not typical. They are exceptions.

I do not study their transformations closely. It is not my charge.

As for winners, no. They do not change in that way.

A winner arrives as they will remain. Their form is whole from the moment of death.

There is no later awakening. No escalation.

She pauses.

What they gain instead is stability. That, too, is a kind of power.
