Lucifer: No, I will not finish my asparagus.

Azazel: I have a feather I'm not afraid to use, Father.

Lucifer:....

Lucifer: I've created pure evil.

[murderluv23]

"Father.", Azazel rushed to Lucifer's side, catching him without missing a beat.

Lucifer mumbled incoherently and laughed, wincing. He struggled to lift a finger through his babbling.

"Don't speak.", Azazel affirms, straightening him, only for Lucifer to slug himself over him.

"M...y...aby...boy..", Lucifer strained a smile, forcing his arms around his shoulders. "...Haha. Heeey..."

"Honestly. How could I let this happen? Look at you."

"N..No. ...'m-", Lucifer smiles, wincing. "I'm fine-"

Azazel kept him upright as he took him away. "You are not alright, Father. Come along. I suppose this is my punishment for letting you out of my sight."

Lucifer frowned. He knew arguing with his son was fruitless. He deflated, letting his head hang with shame. Lucifer did it yet again. Burdening his children. And of course Azazel was the first to rush to his side.

"It...isn't your fault, kiddo."

Azazel said nothing. His usual unreadable expression churned the king's stomach.

"Heh. If your old man wasn't so braindead and useless-"

"Enough. We're finding you a place to rest."

Azazel's voice was stern and devoid of emotion. His actions spoke louder than any of his stoicism could. Lucifer bit his lip. Why was he like this?

"Dad! Oh, you got him, Aza-", Charlie stopped herself as her younger brother swiftly passed her with their father leaning on him for support. Charlie froze. Her heart sank at Azazel's typical dismissal. Charlie could only turn and watch the two disappear.

Lucifer groaned as he was laid against an exam table. "Honestly." Azazel rolled up his sleeves, his hands emitted a soft golden glow. "A giant X in the center of an empty building? Weren't you the one who had me in his lap with all those spy films?"

Lucifer laughs and coughs through his mortification. "Y..Yeah. I...uh...I guess I couldn't get over the chance to...apologize to Charlie."

"You're the one owed an apology, Father."

Lucifer's smile faded as his wounds healed. "I...I don't know about that, kiddo. I...I fucked up pretty bad here. A..." He sighed. "A weapon was powered because I don't have the braincells to put two and two together. And Heaven and Hell could have gone into complete chaos and I would have gotten you and Charlie-"

"Hush.", Azazel put his hand on Lucifer's forehead the moment he was fully healed.

Lucifer sniffles and breaks down, covering his face in shame. Azazel sat him up and embraced him. "You're out of that machine, Father. Breathe."

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" Lucifer cried. "You could've gotten hurt, your sister-we got out by a hair!"

Azazel held him. He sighed. Lucifer was going to beat himself up over this for ages. "I'm more concerned about the mental toll this has taken on you. I'll be having quite a word with a few people once we have you settled."

"...Kiddo...I..." Lucifer's tears blurred his bewilderment. How was he not mad even after this?

"Don't. You need something to eat. After, I'll put on a program for you. Understood?"

Azazel was tugged closer before he could leave. Lucifer squeezed him. After a moment, Azazel reciprocates.

Lucifer still didn't know what he did to deserve a child like him.

[murderluv23]

I fucking love this absolute mess of a short, duck loving, sweater wearing, depressed, theater obsessed man. Someone get me a breathing aid. What is this man's head? A roulette wheel with not a ball in sight? Help. Help me.

I'm taking his free real-estate pose as confirmation he's a Michael Jackson fan because you don't just do that without purpose. New Lucifer canon. Argue with the wall.

[murderluv23]

I'm proud of both of my boys.

[murderluv23]

CAN 👏 WE 👏 GIVE 👏 IT 👏 UP 👏 TO 👏 THE 👏 ANIMATORS!👏 Alastor vs Vox was the obvious highlight here. Holy shit was that some anime level battle quality. I was entranced. Beautiful, crisp, badass.

Husk and Cherri's 1v2 with Valentino was sick as well. And Niffty holding off Velvet like the queen she is.

Baxter, you are a national treasure and don't let anyone tell you differently. I also love him cheering Niffty on the whole time. We love a supportive king.

Also it's the cutest fucking thing that he decides to help the Hazbin crew just because they kept his blanket just right and equated that to friendship. He's a man of simple needs and I can respect that. Adorable.

[murderluv23]

arguably lucifer is always a little wacky, so when he acts loopy from being used as a living battery, it just kinda looks the same as his usual self. i wouldve guessed people were confused, but since he plays everything off with humor (and isnt very close to anyone, even his own daughter) they just kinda think hes okay-ish. hes able to walk it off (and hes probably too prideful to really be vulnerable or talk about what it was like) so its no wonder a lot of them didnt take it very seriously, because he was hiding the pain under his usual kooky act.

That entirely makes sense. Obviously it wasn't fatal and Lucifer treating everything like a joke may contribute to others responding similarly. Still, personally, I wouldn't care whether or not if it was fatal or that he's laughing it off.

He was still tortured and used. No matter how much he's fine, that can't feel good physically or mentally.

In context, it makes sense. Just a personal gripe on my part.

[murderluv23]

Our girls looking beautiful these last two episodes. Look at our queens.

I'd be absolutely committing a crime by not including Velvet in this. Look at her. She is working it!

[murderluv23]

What if I put Charlie back in that machine, destroyed the rest of Hell with Valentino in it, curled up and ate his remains while I cried?

Free my boy this instant. Fuck. We all knew this wasn't over for him long before he walked away. Angel's contract is still there and Valentino is still alive. Hell, Vox is still alive. He may be in the shitter right now but you can't tell me Valentino wouldn't use him to keep a closer eye on Angel.

He already has.

And this time, Angel doesn't have a break by being at the hotel. And I can't blame him for separating.

Imagine being brainwashed and otherwise abused for who knows how long to the point your brain is fried, then waking up to choking your best friend who might as well be another baby sister to you. You wouldn't exactly want to risk what might happen if you are close to your friends again. Not just because of your own well being but because of the loved ones you almost hurt. Fuck.

And Husk deflating made me want to wrap him in a blanket. The cat lover in me doesn't approve of a pair of ears going down without a good cuddle. And I can't imagine how Cherri must be feeling watching him walk back into that building.

It's the worst but what can they do? At least Fat Nuggets is being looked after in the meantime. He can have all the nuts he wants until Daddy is home.

But I will not be satisfied until Angel can rip Valentino to shreds piece by piece. Get my king out.

[murderluv23]

Lucifer has been absolutely carrying the comedy of this season. When I tell you I had to pause during his conversation with Vox because he was taking me out, I mean it.

The absolute little of a fuck he gave at Vox's villain monolog was stellar. Lucifer undercutting his talk of Carmilla with calling it an okay name drop was just...fuck I love him.

Luci, sweetheart, I'm gonna need you to rub your two braincells together though.

Also...

Can we get a little bit more than an "oh, no" for what is literally torture on my king here?! Get my baby out of that machine! Lucifer was really going through it these last two episodes. He gets humiliated, shouted at by his daughter, then made into a battery until he's a really handsome squished lemon.

This is so fucked. He's not catching a break, huh?

And my baby is only thinking about what Charlie is going to say to him for being so useless again, I'M- WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF, KING! YOU'RE LITERALLY A DOUBLE L RIGHT NOW!

Don't think I missed the fact we didn't get an onscreen apology for Lucifer after all this. Sure, it was technically done over text. But I wanted Lucifer to get a face-to-face reconciliation. Especially after this. Come on. He endured a lot of pain. Give him one scene of Charlie talking it out and acknowledging her mistakes.

Yeah, girl, your father is dying. Maybe get him to bed. Weird that everyone stands there, including Charlie, while he's still wincing in pain and barely clinging to consciousness after only just rushing to him.

Call me nitpicky, but it's weird that it feels like almost no one cares enough that Lucifer was just strapped to a machine and used to nearly bring down Heaven, and is obviously wrecked.

Like if that was a loved one of mine, I'd be glued to their hospital bed. Hell, I would carry them there if I had to. And possibly go to jail for going after the ones responsible. I don't know. I just kinda felt Lucifer's torture wasn't given enough weight by the characters involved. Narratively, it's fine.

It's just frustrating considering he's been through a lot and gotten little comfort.

[murderluv23]

Charlie, girl, you are striking out again this week. I really can't be on your side if your idea of getting people to believe in redemption is exploiting your friend who is already in a perilous situation, ignoring your girlfriend at every turn, and being pissed at your father for trying to help.

This situation happened because you didn't take Vaggie's advice. At all. At every turn, you ignored what she had to say about the hotel or the Vs, purely because it hurt your ego to confront the fact people aren't going to take you at your word. You ignored Angel Dust when he said he was uncomfortable because, duh, Vox and Velvet work with his abuser. You even dragged Husk into this and nearly got them both killed. Then further went on live against Vaggie's advice yet again.

And now you just...shout at your father for standing up for you? Striking out. You are striking out, sis. I can understand being pissed at him for inaction. He's been doing that. But losing it over him making a stand in the only way he can currently think of, after he was publicly humiliated?

He can't fan flames that weren't there to begin with. You did this by refusing to listen. You can't be surprised that Vaggie went to your father for help, someone with power and someone she knows would protect you without ulterior motives. There were better ways to handle the situation but you were deaf when others wanted to explore them.

Jesus fucking christ.

How does making your father cower help anything? Broke my heart watching him curl into a ball then have his worst fears slap him in the face. Lucifer keeps his word when he feels it's appropriate but then realizes what little power he truly has, has to be brought down in front of a sea of people, fails to do anything substantial for his little girl, then has her yell at him, then is told by his daughter that he is a fuck up that should just leave. I'M......

I don't drink. But I will take a sugary hot chocolate and a cake, thank you. I am heated.

And don't even get me started on her pettiness with Vaggie. She has been doing everything to please Charlie and she does one thing without her go ahead (which she created) and suddenly she's the problem. Vaggie is right. Charlie has been tearing the hotel down from the inside with her impulsivity, childishness and pride. Others are just symptoms of the problem by things going south so quickly.

Taking that out on the both of them is wild.

[murderluv23]

These tags, right here. I love that she's being forced to learn through making mistakes and she isn't without any flaws. As upset as it makes me, I'm glad that I can sit here and fume. As weird as that sounds. It means the character writing is effective and the payoff will be more satisfying.

If Charlie never made blunders like this, it'd feel as though she just cruised through her dreams. I will defend the right of a character to infuriate me to my dying breath. Doesn't automatically translate into hatred. I know she's well intentioned. Jury is still out for the time being but I'm not making promises, if that makes sense.

That being said, I won't ignore the very real issue of Charlie still choosing to talk about her pain even after she makes up with Vaggie. I acknowledge she's trying and I won't call her evil incarnate (haha). But girl, please, you aren't the only one dealing with insecurities and stress.

And the fact it is up in the air whether or not she actually called Lucifer doesn't bode well. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say Vox unfortunately got to him first, maybe he tampered with or interrupted the call. But I don't think I can lie and say it wouldn't churn my stomach that she can put him under fire like that and not even call to apologize.

Okay guys. Some of you probably missed this but. At the end of Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Episode 6, if you squint really, really, reaaaalllly hard AND if you’re delusional enough, you can ALMOST see the inklings of potential for some PLATONIC Appledust bonding coming into play at some point down the line. Just like. If you REAAALLLY try to look you know? It is there. You just gotta tilt your head a little! Or. Maybe do a handstand? Here this might help u just gotta REALLLLY look 🔎🔎

(Actual spoilers under the break)

No seriously. I mean. Angel Dust is there being hypnotized. Lucifer is GOING THERE to be tricked. What exactly is going to happen we don’t know. But they are potentially going to both be in the same place-ish at the same time, or at least wrapped up in the same situation. And contributing unwillingly to the same plan.

So. You know. Maybe they can trauma bond! Assuming they both make it out alive which I know they will because I say so.

I just really want them to be friends, I’m sorry.

[murderluv23]

Anyone that can see the father-son vision of Angel and Lucifer, has their head on right. I don't make the rules.

[murderluv23]

Carmilla calling Vox out on this shit as a queen should. Because what the fuck was this? Only a white man could go up on a table and confidently do this.

[murderluv23]

Hey, guys! It's me!

I would give anything to just rest my head in his lap. Have mercy. I'd be insane not to praise Blake Roman's stunning performance here and continously bringing Angel Dust's voice to life. Already high on my list. How dare Angel just kick down my door and rip my heart out like this? Who gave him the right? Send help.

[murderluv23]

Why is Hazbin Hotel making me wheeze so much? Fuck, I love Lucifer. Yes, baby. You are invisible. Good job.

[murderluv23]

[murderluv23]

Lucifer, sighing: What is it going to take for my baby boy to burst into song?

Charlie yells at him and Vox publicly mocks him.

Charlie and Vox: Confused as to why they hear boss music.
