Vassago vs Asmodeus

The most egregious thing about Asmodeus in Mastermind isn't his lack of action. It's how he participates in and upholds corrupt systems of power. When Satan asserts the he is the law, all of the Sins rise from their seats to sing backup for Satan. "He is the law".

You know who doesn't participate? Vassago.

On top of being the only Goetia to question the trial, he was also the only one who didn't harmonize along with Satan when he was asserting his absolute power and authority. Vassago, having no context or prior knowledge, only having the information that was fed to him, could sense that something was wrong and refused to participate in it. Asmodeus, knowing more about the situation than anyone else in the room, knowing the true nature of Stolas' and Blitz' relationship, remained quiet. He only spoke up once, and only after Bee spoke first. He raised his hand in wanting a more complete trial, but he stood behind Satan all the same. He upheld the corruption and abuse of power, knowing fully well that Satan was in the wrong. Refusing to participate in corrupt power structures is already something we've seen in the Hellaverse with Vaggie and Emily. And yes, Vaggie and Emily also faced consequences for refusing to participate. And no, their individual actions weren't enough to change anything either. So what? Vaggie, Emily, and Vassago stood by their morals. They did what was right. They saw corruption and abuse, and spoke out and refused to participate. Even if your actions and words have no sway or power, you're supposed to do what's right, and refuse to participate in what's wrong. It's probably true that even if Asmodeus had spoken out, the outcome wouldn't have changed. And while not speaking out, and hiding the truth he was sitting on is a big issue, that's not the point I'm trying to make here. Asmodeus saw corruption and abuse, and willingly participated in it and upheld it. Asmodeus has proven that he will protect the hierarchy of Hell above what is right, that he will protect and uphold it even when he knows that what it's doing is wrong. And that he will even uphold it over Fizz and to Fizz's detriment. Vassago didn't participate. Emily and Vaggie didn't participate. Asmodeus did.

[eldritchcreatureofwords]

I feel like this one of of those posts that my post about how Ozzie was helpless and, in fact, would have only made things much, much worse if he'd spoken up was meant for.

[countessvampress]

But how? Blitz was already sentenced to death, and Satan and the court had already made up their minds.

Asmodeus is not in the same position as Stolas, and I highly doubt he would have lost his powers. It’s one thing if it’s a goetia and another if it’s a sin.

It’s already been shown that the higher the status, the less severe the punishment.

And it’s been shown through Vassago that he didn’t get punished for not singing along and for speaking up for Stolas.

[eldritchcreatureofwords]

THERE WAS NOTHING OZZIE COULD HAVE DONE IN THAT TRIAL. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. "Oh, but Foxxe, he could have spoken up!" Bee di

On top of all of this, if you didn't get the feeling that the singing from the sins was forced, then I don't know what to tell you. That was giving huge cult moment vibes that the rise and singing along was involuntary. And even if it wasn't,some of ya'll need to sit down and understand that throwing yourself on the flame and burning yourself for literally no reason is not actually how you always should react.

[countessvampress]

But he wouldn’t have been throwing himself on the flame, because Vassago did the right thing— He refused to participate, and he was not punished.

The idea that Asmodeus would have been punished is only based on the fact that he is in a romantic relationship or that he would be questioning Satan’s authority.

But Asmodeus’s relationship with Fizzarolli has already been known and allowed. The idea that it would come into question or have the anger redirected at them isn’t plausible. It’s clear that Satan didn’t want to continue the trial any longer than necessary. Having to redirect it towards Asmodeus would not only elongate it, but put a new and unnecessary trial up.

It would also question a fellow sin’s authority, which would make the sins look weak if there is infighting. Sins are allowed to get away with more than any goetia.

The idea that “it wouldn’t change anything” isn’t the issue, it’s about being complicit and submissive to an hierarchical system that is bigoted and unjust.

[eldritchcreatureofwords]

Oh, yeah, no, you're right. Totally. He should have thrown himself onto the court, screamed and yelled and thrown a fit, raged and hollared and beat his chest while wailing FUCK THE SYSTEM!!!!! And then, when he was also exiled and Fizzie was at risk of death or worse, it would be totally worth it because he stood up!!! For his ideals!!!! Give me a fucking break with this.

Satan didn't want to continue the trial any longer then necessary, you're right. Which is why he would totally fucking ignore Ozzie and anything he said, just like he ignored Bee, just like he ignored Vassago. The fact that Vassago isn't a sin is somehow flying right over your head and that is painful to witness.

Like, how can you not realize how important that is? How can you not comprehend that a Goetia not participating in the song may not be punishable but a Sin refusing to participate in a song lead by a stronger Sin may be? Infighting wouldn't 'make the sins look weak' because there wouldn't be any fucking infighting. Satan would either completely fucking ignore Ozzie or simply say 'fuck you, you're not a Sin anymore' and that's the end of the conversation. Ozzie's relationship with Fizzie is known by commoners and may not be known by Satan. And even if he didn't care, that instantly and immediately puts a question on Ozzie's testimony because he has ties to to accused. He's Blitz's best friend's lover, you think you can trust anything he has to say? He'll say whatever he's got to. And lastly, do you people who want Ozzie to hurl himself into the flames honest-to-God think that this what Blitz would want? For Ozzie and/or Fizzie and/or both to risk themselves to try and save him?

Giving big, huge, 'Blitz is a helpless little poor person who had to whore himself out and never really liked the sex but is such a weak whittle baby he couldn't stand up for himself' vibes, as so many Stolas antis seem to think. Same energy.

[countessvampress]

There’s no need to for Asmodeus to do anything dramatic, just refusing to participate would be enough. He could have chosen to not sing along, and it would show solidarity without making it about himself.

Sometimes it’s not about crying out, but about refusing to participate. Simple gestures can be enough to show this, and that you don’t condone what is going on.

The idea that Asmodeus would either be exiled, or would be ignored is a very black and white outlook. It’s more likely he would be ignored than punished, and while being ignored would be frustrating, it would still show that Asmodeus doesn’t approve of what’s going on. It’s the idea of not giving in to an unjust system might not make change, but it is still the right thing to do.

The sins were not forced to sing, they simply participated when they could’ve rejected the idea and refuse to accept the injustice. If they were punished for that, it would look odd that a goetia is not punished, but a Deadly Sin is punished. We saw the power hierarchy displayed with Stolas, that power = leniency of the law. So Asmodeus would most likely not receive backlash.

But not only does Asmodeus not refuse to participate, he withholds information! He knew that Blitz did not rape Stolas, but didn’t object or speak up.

It’s not okay to submit to a system when you can simply disapprove in an appropriate, calm, and sincere manner.

[countessvampress]

On the topic of Blitz having done illegal activities, he was not given a fair trial. His side of the story was not allowed, despite Asmodeus and Beelzebub standing for a fair trial.

The entirety of goetia that voted against giving a fair trial shows the unjust hierarchy of the show’s power structure.

so loving men isn't a curse. loving men isn't "unfortunate". loving men isn't a bad thing. yes, we can joke about how awful men can be, but it gets to a a point where this mentality can really hurt. it can really feed into you hating yourself for something you can't control. loving men is something special. loving yourself is just as beautiful.
