As an outsider, not fully on the inside. I've had my pull of witch-hunting assholes. Always screaming this and that about things that aren't even concerning them like they're some kind of prophet with a cardboard sign on the streets saying doomsday is just around the corner....

Like yeah, let's burn all the books kinda shit. Take away the literature cause it's poisoning the average person's brain!!! (Dear God the Bible says stone ya wife we gotta do it but don't let them read it!) That good ol' 1600s schtick to keep all the ducks in a row so we don't formulate an opinion of our own.

Ideas, trying to understand things outside the realms of society, trying to help yourself in whatever way deemed possible - it has been the destruction of many people. It's caused mass executions. Even if it was just written words on a piece of paper.

But why hide behind an anon and say such horrible things if you aren't ashamed of saying those things? What? Are you scared you'll get harassed like you've been harassing other people? What a plot twist. Dunno who took a wet shit in your cornflakes, but stop projecting your self-hate on people who just want to have fun. It's not FOR /you/.

Don't like what you see on the internet?

Log out.

Shut your computer off.

It's not that hard???

You'd have an aneurysm over the early days of the internet.

And telling someone to 'you know' themselves isn't cute, so what's the point you're trying to prove here? All you did was show your ass. If people here wanted to see an ass, they'd go to a donkey farm.

Starter For @stagred - Mama, just killed a man.

♫ Lord, I got a bad old feelin' Hummin' that old distant melody ♫

A pot simmers rapidly, almost following a melodic hum with the fragrance of spices, the best quality of meats, vegetables, and stock that could be found on the pinch of a penny. To smell such a dish would be akin to a warm, cozy hug from your mother. The sweetened embrace of her love and comfort as she gave one stir of the ingredients happily, knowing they wouldn't go hungry tonight.

It always made her feel so much better when they were able to sit down to eat together as if everything were ordinary. Equal to everyone else, even though there was something about each turn in this world that caused you to hold your breath like you were about to enter a frigid pool wherein you might drown if you dove too far. 

Interrupted thoughts came about as loving yet tired brown eyes shot to the door, a knock disturbing the peace of everything.

"Just one moment!"

She called out, rubbing her hands off on her apron before placing a lid on supper. The house smelled heavenly every time she was up cooking something for her little family of two. The family she strives the best for.

Making her way over to the door, there was a tightening of visage before a sudden sheepish smile pulled along them in greeting. "Quentin. It's lovely to see you again." A sided movement to allow entry into the home as recognizable darkness reemerged after months of absence. No reply in gentle salutations that had been given.

He'd come back sometimes.

Usually, it was for money, for something he needed with unfulfilled promises, tantalizing his desire for it even if he already had everything he ever needed from his own family. The monstrous man probably just did these things to them out of fun - maybe even hatred over himself. You'd never know when he'd show up on that doorstep with those lightened features like he was owed something. Like most men of his background had thought they were OWED something.

Cognizant that he was a terrible man at heart, but hope became intertwined with a kind of Stockholm syndrome, which prevented her from facing the harsh reality. She would have never questioned him anyway in this bigotry century as you would have been prosecuted, folks alike being shot on the streets, sometimes beaten and raped, hung by the neck like it was nothing but entertainment. It was scary to go against that, and she had a baby that needed a mother no matter how old he grew. Charlotte wouldn't dare put that at stake in fear her precious one would lose her.

What else did he have? Who else did he have but his manman? All she could do was do her utmost to ensure his safety. Shielded from a world that God was only glancing at but not giving his full intent to. Nevertheless, she still held out hope that the modest prayers spoken at night might someday be heard.

With sudden ease, the man came forward into the home. As she shut the door behind him, his eyes darted about, searching for any indications of change, yet everything appeared virtually unaltered. Which was merely the way she favored it; it was quite comforting."I see you haven't changed a thing as usual." The way he spoke seemingly irritated as he talked nearly mumbled. Was he inebriated? He may have been.

That sentence elicited no response but a downward glance at those gorgeous eyes of hers. She gently clasped her palms together before replying. "Would you be interested in staying for dinner? It's about ready." The woman gestured seemingly hopeful that this time would turn out differently.

Rather than an affirmative response, something else hovered around, the atmosphere in the room growing more ominous. "No. I don't want your shit food. It's not what I came for." His vulgarity, spoken with such cruelty, pierced her eardrum as he approached her. She did her best to maintain a smile, even if it seemed forced, but the hope vanished for a brief while. "I understand. What can I do you for, Quentin?" That lingered in question. Most of the time, she would comply with any request he made. particularly if it implied that there could be some normalcy behind it all.

"Money. Haven't you worked recently?"

"Oh... Yes. But I spent too much lately since things have been going up. I don't have much left, but I suppose I could give you the rest of it."

The petite woman ran to get her coin purse before he could reply. It was preferable to keep him optimistic. Air in the room hardened even more and quietly descended for a moment. If not for the heat that persisted from the kitchen's boiling pot, it nearly seemed frigid as she handed over the small amount of change in the lining.

"This isn't enough, Charlotte. I bet you've been buying frivolous things! Things you don't deserve or need!" He snapped as she cowered for a second. Despite his words, he took what was left of her money with a scoff. "Useless woman."

An addition to the insult as the lovely one looked down in defeat. But he wouldn't stop there. Oh, he was just getting started with his needless wrath. "NOTHING TO SAY? Not even a little excuse? You're so pathetic. I regret ever sticking my dick into someone like you. It was worse enough that you gave birth to that little bastard."

Even as the tears started to threaten, that swiftly drew her attention."Don't talk about him like that. I know you're upset, but please do NOT talk about him like that. He's a good boy. I raised him right!" A good mother bear would never allow her cub to be tarnished in such a way, but she covered her lips when she realized how badly she had spoken back to him.

"You dare talk back to me? The insolent piece of work you've always been Charlotte. You should know your place, I think I have to teach you where you stand again." He shot back, then raised his hand to slap her across the face with a pointed smack.

Whimper came loud as followed, trembling despite her hand potentially cushioning the force. When it was eventually removed, a thick trail of blood began to flow down her nostril in a stream.

The man sneered as the stench of burning food filled the room while the sound of another blow to the softening flesh reverberated, this time coating his hand with the sticky substance.

[psychedeliaic]

Many a sinner ended up here without their own doing. Many manipulated and grew into things they hadn't truly understood. Humans didn't have a book of rules. No, it was all made up of choices and whatever was deemed horrifying. The wrong and right religions?

Well, that was a hard one. At the best guess, you'd probably take into consideration not to hurt people, be kind, all the right morals dictated by thought and what should be... But what should it be?

Witches ended up here often. Either from centuries ago by hangings or a burnt fleshed variety. It wasn't uncommon to see such - some pledging allegiance to the King of Hell himself. Ironically, the majority of Gods & Goddesses are angels you'd think would get you a ticket to paradise. At least, that was a conception of the thought process. The idealism. Things seemed more black & grey here, and Alice thought it was in colors just like the decade she lived as well as died in.

Why were they repenting for sins that weren't sins to an innocently naive mind? To be but a softened little creature lying in the woods with a neck nestled into a vulnerable position with pure curiosity.

Listening as she was before, Alice only listened when things were interesting to her. Most things pull through a filter of sorts. But this God? Well, he caught her curious side as he told her things she hadn't known before. It was like a breath of fresh air to have some type of confirmation of what she knew life as. Even if what was spoken by the preacher of a coven of witches wasn't exactly the real truth of it all.

She was putting two and two together.

Slowly.

"That makes sense. The same things could be said for witches, you know, oh the horrible things they'd come out with on "Halloween." We called it 'Samhain'. They thought we were green with long noses and warts! How terrible it was... I'm not sure if you know about that... But I am certainly not green."

Here she was, trying to relate in a way just to say she understood even if it was a completely different topic. Most things held bias, especially when it came to certain religions twisting things to fit their own needs.

"Oh? Charon? Is he as lovely as you? You see, I was dragged down here by Madame Amour, so I didn't get much judgment. I suppose... I skipped through some of the process. It was like seeing a black hole opening up in the ground and just, well, tumbling down."

A twisted version of following the white rabbit into a type of wonderland it was. Lewis Carroll would be rolling in his grave, wouldn't he? Perhaps not, the man was obscure in many ways.

Flicking deep abyss hues, she followed his glance. The scenery still being of a prison to little Alice. Oh, how she wishes she could escape before darting features back to the God once more.

"Then consider this a promise! Well, when I can and if I ever see you again, I shall give you gifts! I'd say you have a hard job, you know. It's the least someone can do even if I'm not of such status."

Quickened nods such as a little girl fell as she puffed out her cheeks in excitement until it fell rapidly when he asked such a question.

Momentarily, she went quiet before she reached for the carton of cigarettes and pulled one from it. A light of the end with a little pull of smoke coming off, she narrowed her eyes again. It was a rather strange sight as if a baby had just sparked up the tobacco, a completely different persona almost pulling at the mention. Holding the cigarette between claws in an elegant manner, she looked off before she spoke. Legs crossing such like a lady.

"I made a deal. At least I think that's why I'm here. You see, my mother... She disappeared when I was very young. I had no idea where she went." Another pause before she continued, another drag off the unfiltered stick as it seemed the thought of her mother disappearing gave her some stress.

"Amour said it was impossible to find her. But since mother was gone, well, Amour said she'd give my coven power to keep us safe until she returned... But nothing is impossible, is it?"

Finally, the doe shot her eyes back to him. A subtle sadness was shown within those wide animal-like eyes despite a small little melancholy smile crossing, her ears slowly going down against her head to further such a feeling. "Now that I think about it? I was very foolish for believing such things. But I was very young, around fourteen, to be exact. I just really wanted to do good for them since she was gone."

[psychedeliaic]

As comforting as an extended family member who came over for the Holidays with the warmest of bear hugs to give. Almost as if a real mother of the sort to anyone who may have needed one! It was quite clear why she was an overlord to be adored by her colony. The real queen bee to make you want to give her your all!

"Oh sheesh, you little charmer you."

And then a small pause came with the raise of an eyebrow following among her pale features.

"Say...You taste whatcha sell, don't you? Not saying anything is bad! Don't get me wrong, but I gotta take notice. Seems like you have more regular tastes on the menu than well-people."

So it seemed the graceful cannibal was wondering if the other lingered in the territory of being one such as herself.

But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .

"Ah, ha, ha... There you are! What a good little sinner following such. I must say, you seem like quite the entertainment! A respectful one, you are!"

Twisted grins play forward at the turn of the switch almost like that of the Cheshire appearing before Wonderland's little star guest. Tied at the corners in a dastardly morbid bow that decorated vension himself. Didn't they want the bright lights shown on them? Stepping forward, It seems the carnage wasn't apparent to his lips, nor his elegantly dressed tall stature! One would always keep groomed during meals, and you couldn't leave much to the dry cleaners in the pits. They were USELESS.

One lanky red finger went to her chin, lifting her head upwards so that there weren't many places to look beside the gritty sound waves before her. You didn't need boundaries in H E L L. That lovely sickeningly sweet linger of death-like aroma coming from his everlasting composed being.

Narrowed eye hovered downwards at the little sinner, taking in each mannerism, each little tip towards the boiling coffee pot. How the radio demon savored the mere fact of entertaining submission! Oh! He could smell the drip drop of fear that made him want to add it like butter to a piece of toast!

And then, another face appeared in the dimmed light of the alley. The skeletal white face brings an old-fashioned glow, an almost welcoming feeling that makes you feel safe, even if you weren't.

"Oh... The poor thing! She looks starved! A l a s t o r, maybe we should play good hosts and throw the dog a bone! Eh?!"

A shimmy of a shoulder against the other MEAT EATER who kept that menacing aura about his oh-so-dapper self!

With the removal of touch, a look of thought crossed over him - his reflected partner in hunger fluttering her sinister lashes towards him. How could he refuse his co-star on the big screen? Absurd! Perhaps the lady of blood & grace had taken a liking to this little critter! "I suppose we could! She did provide a lovely speech of forgiveness."

A spin of the potluck, the real flip of the coin here in regards to FATE.

"Very well. What do you say, dear? Care to some supper? I don't mind doing CHARITY work on occasion."

Observing Adam

Where I go way too deep into something that probably isn't that deep. It's long, it's long as hell.

Okay, so you'd think with how Adam talks he's just a typical misogynist, right?

This man worships pussy. So much so, he's named a whole ass angel, one of his best, Vagina. You'd say that he objectifies them and thinks of them as being lesser, but I don't think that's the whole story. In fact, I think he might be the original simp.

All of these exorcists so far have been women. All of them. He refers to them as ladies or bitches interchangeably, he sees them as being completely capable of absolutely decimating leagues of some of the most vile beings who have ever existed, and they have, to the point it was only after thousands of years that there's been a risk to this hierarchy.

He's a self-centered, egotistical, loud-mouthed, arrogant asshole, no doubt about it, but I'm beginning to suspect something now.

If Adam and Lilith were created from the same dust, if they were created as equals, I am more than willing to bet... Lilith is also a self-centered, egotistical, arrogant asshole. But, she's likely far more intelligent, composed, and duplicitous.

Lilith was allowed to refuse Adam and leave of her own free will and garnered her own independence. A new wife was created for Adam, she was replaced. My guess, is she thought Adam wouldn't be able to live without her, to come back and find herself replaced entirely, she was enraged.

I believe both Adam and Lilith were both incredibly dominant individuals who fought over ideas, thoughts, and ultimately in the bedroom as well, if we take into account the creationist stories.

I'm willing to bet she likely manipulated Lucifer into twisting humanity against its original concept. What if Lucifer's intention truly was to just spark something within Eve, like independence and thought and creation, but it was Lilith's poison within the fruit that tainted her, then subsequently Adam, with sin.

Lilith thrived in hell, while Lucifer's dreams of creation were dashed. She didn't suffer as he did, instead the power of her voice grew with hell. Her voice grew so powerful that heaven found it to be a threat, her actions instigated the beginning of exterminations.

Charlie said that when she was a little girl, she didn't know Lucifer at all. I don't think this was because of Lucifer, he's seen here, picking her up, inviting her to share in his thoughts and dreams, showing her something wonderful. Something she could see within herself.

Charlie says that it's this moment that sparked her will to fight for her dreams. Which is strange, because at the very beginning of the story, Charlie says it was her mother's dream that was passed down to her.

Lilith took Charlie away. In this scene, Lucifer wasn't done showing Charlie his thoughts and dreams, he's still yearning to show his daughter these things at this point.

Lucifer loves his daughter. He loves Charlie so, so, so much. So why wasn't he allowed to build a relationship with his daughter for the longest time? He was waiting for the opportunity to get to know her, but with how much he adores her why didn't he do it sooner? He didn't comment on 'It took you a while-' he just said he missed her smile. They don't want to be pulled apart, again.

Now, we know Vivziepop has said that Lucifer and Lilith love each other, but Lilith 'wears the pants' in the relationship. We see all of the pictures all over the walls of a supposedly happy family. I don't think the relationship was as loving as originally portrayed and Lilith is a woman who desires control above all else. She likely tried to mitigate what influence Lucifer had over their daughter when she thought his angelic thoughts and behaviors became more than what she approved of.

Lets take it back to Adam and Lute for a moment. Again, Adam is a loud mouthed idiot, he's a jerk. The moment he realizes there are demons in heaven, he's ready to go on the attack. It's only because of Lute that he didn't end up doing something absolutely idiotic.

I gotta say, Lute and Adam's relationship is an absolutely fascinating one. He's a disrespectful dick head in how he talks, but how he acts is a different story. He allows Lute to man-handle him. He does listen to her, even if he's a whiny bitch about it.

Look at him, this is the face of a man listening, a dumb one, but a dude listening all the same. He doesn't manhandle her back, he doesn't even pull away until she lets go of his collar. Of all the shit he complained about, between being grabbed and being told what to do, his biggest complaint is that she's telling him to shush.

We know that Adam is the one who suggested the exterminations to begin with, so Sera says, and this was because of the power that Lilith was amassing. To him, Lilith is a threat. Even when he was willing to move on, to go to another wife when Lilith didn't want him or want to submit to him (fair babe, he's a bit of an idiot), she came back with an angel and proceeded to manipulate his new wife Eve. This is the supposed progenitor of man-kind, the original dick (hilariously enough), the reason civilization even exists at all. He and Eve had to fight for their lives after being tempted with the fruit. They had immortality, they had no ideas of shame, they were supposedly 'innocent' creatures before Lilith and Lucifer came along. He and Eve had to fight tooth and nail to survive after being cast from Eden. I think it shows in how willing and ready he is to take lead and do what he believes needs to be done, now out of a need for entertainment rather than a need to defend or protect. But, he still stopped to listen to Lute's advice. In the mythological story of Adam and Eve, Adam is the one who has to tell Eve that god said don't eat the fruit. Eve never heard god speak to her, so she was vulnerable to the snake's manipulations. She will now die because she ate it, and because she did not want Adam to take another wife, convinced him to eat it unknowingly. Funnily enough, Adam tried to explain to god that 'she lied to me and gave me the fruit' and in this actual mythology, Adam was punished for listening to his wife. Even without mentioning Lilith in the original mythology, Eve didn't want Adam to take another wife, so when we consider it within the context of Hazbin Hotel, it may be likely that's how it went down. Eve knew of Lilith, knew that she could be replaced, and decided that she would take Adam with her.

I believe that Adam does and did rely on the women in his life to help him with direction. I think Adam knows he can be an idiot and is willing to listen, even if he doesn't agree with what he's hearing. He did listen to Charlie in the beginning, he just didn't believe in her, like everyone else and he, out of anyone there, probably had the most reason not to. Cain and Abel were his and Eve's sons, his own child became the first murderer. Out of jealousy, the same kind of jealousy that no doubt has caused Lilith to act how she did. Adam isn't going to have empathy for sinners. His family, his legacy, were filled with the original sinners. He probably had to kill his son Cain in hell during the first exterminations. What do you think he would have had to feel, if it came to be a fact that sinners could be redeemed? That maybe his son, could've been redeemed? Or any of his progeny for that matter? How did it feel when his sons, his progeny, weren't given the same mercy as the Hellborn that Lucifer managed to keep protected through some deal with the angels or god? Not to mention that Charlie could've been his daughter. Charlie is the product of the people who completely and totally destroyed the paradise he'd been born into. She's the daughter who is protected and immune from the slaughter while all of his sons and daughters are judged and killed. I believe, even though he was a dickish prankster to Charlie, he was surprisingly patient and even somewhat amicable, willing to even ask her how her weekend was like he was just trying to get to know her.

Adam could just see all of the angels under his employ as being disposable. He doesn't have to name them, or think about them in any individual fashion. But, he knows Vaggie, recognized her instantly. Thought she was badass. Lute's the one who saw her, tore her wings off, and walked away. I'm surprised they even let her live, because this just goes against everything they're doing. They're an army and they saw one of their own showing empathy to the enemy.

Look at this dumb ass. He's being a shit-head, a dick, a bastard. But, he admires Vaggie's ability to pull Charlie, congratulates her, this dude isn't even judging her for being a lesbian. I don't think it's because he objectifies women, this dude loves women, he just does. He respects fellow vagina lovers. I don't think he respects liars in the slightest though. He's being underhanded, he's trying to be manipulative (he's not very good at it). I think he's brutally open and honest about everything and that's probably one of the reasons he's such a bastard anyways, because sometimes you just need to shut-up and he's not good at that.

I don't think he respects Sera for that either, he's more than willing to let others know what the hell he's doing, but under Sera's lead, he can't be open about it. I don't think it's his jam to act this way, it's why he sucks so bad at it and I think that's why Lilith is so antithetical to him. I also think that's why he's possibly even being manipulated.

It's kind of crazy that Adam is the only one who tries to come up with what allows someone to get into heaven. So here's his list: 1. Act Selfless: Maybe at one point he was! He had to have been, to be one of the progenitors of mankind, he would have had to work, sacrifice, and give to his wife and children for them all to survive. Eve would have had to do the same, no doubt. He may not seem selfless, due to his raunchy behavior, but he's served heaven since he's been there. He's served humanity in some kind of facet. 2. Don't Steal: Considering the only other humans are his spawn, he likely had to try and get them to not steal from one another for them all to have an equal opportunity of survival. He and Eve likely both knew they would need to work together to survive.

3. Stick it to the man: This, however, is interesting. Who is 'The Man' he speaks of? God? The only other people over him or were equal to him were women. He speaks like a rocker, and I think in this case he's using the term 'The Man' in a gender neutral way. I think he allowed some amount of Authority to Lilith when they were supposed to be seen as equals, it comes so naturally to him as a character when it comes to the other women he's been interacting with. I think she is the 'man' that he's been sticking it to- Pun somewhat intended. ((This third one may also simply be a tongue in cheek reference to when Alex Brightman played Dewey in School of Rock on Broadway! Thank you to the user who brought this to my attention!))

Adam is a bit of a hypocrite, isn't he? He likes to fuck, he's made that abundantly clear. Full of lust you could say. It was his original purpose after all, and he is judging Angel Dust for something he probably would've done himself at one point or has considered doing (maybe not the having sex with men part). Angel Dust does all of these things, Adam doesn't even deny it. He even looks nervous. He's angry, but doesn't deny that Angel has done those things. He doesn't explain it away or try to lie or move the goal posts, he's just asking what is an actually very valid question.

Why isn't Angel Dust there if he can do things equal to what Adam himself hasn't done? Serenity continues that line of thought. It isn't until Charlie is realizing no one knows what it takes to get into heaven.

Adam is more than willing to let Lute take the lead here, he's willing to give her the stage to clap back, he's giving her back-up antics. By all means, they could be pushing and fighting one another, there could easily be body language expressing something other than their general comfort around one another. They aren't fighting for a spotlight like you'd expect Adam to try and do considering his egotistical attitude.

Adam fucking sucks at keeping his mouth shut and he sucks at lying. He nearly blew the secret out of the bag once, this time, Sera is the only one who tries to stop him and to be honest? Lute looks a bit too thrilled at it. He knows he fucked up, but he doesn't think it's a big deal that anyone would know. For fucks sake, they've already condemned souls, his progeny, to suffer. What's the big deal if he kills them?

I have to re-iterate what's happening here. Charlie is proud she caused this chaos, that she caused these angels to fight amongst themselves, even if in this case it's a good thing. But, this is like history repeating itself to Adam, the reflection of his ex-wife, entering his domain, causing strife among his people, being happy about it.

And the venom he expresses when it comes to the 'liar' portion, god Alex Brightman destroyed when he got to this portion specifically. There is some vehement disgust in his tone when he says liar.

Adam isn't a good person now. But, I think he used to be a good person. By all means, Adam himself could've been the first murderer when his wife made her mistake. He, at one point in time, had to have been good enough to foster civilization itself with Eve. Both good and bad. Adam's original purpose was to be fruitful and multiply. Ordained by god (or maybe just angels) himself, divine power directed and created him to fuck. He didn't chase his ex-wife down, he was given a new one, Lilith was allowed to leave. When he left things alone, when he tried to move on, his ex-wife and a scorned angel destroyed the paradise he was in with Eve. He had to struggle and toil, he had to feel shame in his own body. He had to find out his first born son was the first murderer. His second son killed. We don't know if this is going to be canon in the story, a lot has changed, and if Adam is the first soul who reached heaven, then what did happen to Abel? Was Abel considered a sinner? Or did Cain kill Abel after Adam had passed? Either way, he had to witness his children kill, he had to watch his descendants behave in a range from saints and monsters. He's seen genocides, he's seen famine, war. Adam is desensitized to the plights of his descendants. Maybe he even saw it as a duty to cleanse the universe of their existence at one point, because they were his responsibility.

At the end of this episode, he is properly scolded by Sera and does seem ashamed of himself. He isn't huffy, he is reminded that he should be ashamed of acting that way.

I love Lute's enthusiasm, she's absolutely brutal when talking about Vaggie and with how she handled Vaggie. I think it's funny that Lute is so brutal she's even made Adam uncomfortable. It's cute that he's made uncomfortable by the excitement and all he does is tell Lute, the premier hype woman over here, to chill. She's so proud of herself too, look at her.

He fully expects these exorcist bad bitches to go in there and fuck shit up. But, you know it's hilarious that he's throwing horns? This dude, this angel. First human soul in heaven, loving rock n' roll, the devil's music, and throwing motherfucking horns. It's poetic really. I think we can probably assume where things are going.

Now, this is the first point we've seen Adam being a real piece of shit to Lute. I don't think Adam likes it when people think he's too dumb to notice something, especially something so damn obvious. This is such a drastic moment of vitriolic, uncontrolled anger directed towards Lute. Adam knows he isn't the brightest tool in the shed. He likely knows he's obtuse and misses shit. It's why he sucks at lying, he knows he's not smart. That is why I think he's afforded women opportunities to direct him without fighting back against their advice and their choices. I'm sure Lilith made it obvious how dumb she thinks Adam is. I'm wondering if this might be where their ground breaking fight might've come from. Who's to say he didn't allow Lilith to take the lead, or listen to her like he's done with Lute here and now? Perhaps to an even greater point? He listened to Eve and ate from the fruit of knowledge and he was punished for it. Being seen as so dumb he can't formulate a simple fact is a sore spot for him.

Adam is incredibly powerful. It took a bit out of him to exercise that power, probably because he's out of practice just like Lucifer said. At one point, he probably wasn't so sloppy and weak willed. He's gotten lazy. Sloth like.

I think it got real personal here. How viscerally and personally he attacked Charlie. No one but Charlie truly thought sinners could be redeemed, or that they were even worth it. Not even one of the original sinners. Maybe he never considered the possibility, maybe what happened really did make him see the world as black and white to cope with that happened to him, his wife, his children. Charlie's desire to fight this idea would destroy the foundation for all of his coping through the years. He stopped seeing them as family, even though he's grandiose about his founding role in humanity. Does that itch the guilt that may lurk under the surface?

I don't think Adam thought much of Charlie at all. I don't think he had any intention of coming to kill her in the beginning, despite seeing her, despite who her parents were. But, I think with the constant push, with how eager she was to disrupt the pre-conceived idea of order, it reminded Adam and reflected her parents so much, he was eager to kill her for revenge against them. I think this electrical interference on the mask is a direct reflection of sin. Namely, wrath, in this moment.

Now, this. THIS. Is something that made me want to write this whole fucking essay. Is Lucifer implying that he not only gave Eve the Fruit from the tree of knowledge, but FUCKED HER TOO? Homies, I'm sorry but holy shit. That is some hydrating tea. I'd be pretty pissed too, fucked over twice by women who were supposed to be literal soul mates, who you were made for, who were made for you?

I knew he would have a goatee, I could almost hear it. I gotta say, I'm a sucker for how he looks. I think he's hot. He is a bastard, but so are a lot of the hot dudes in this show. It's just a theme.

This exact series of lines prompted so many of the thoughts that I had about Adam and why he thinks or acts the way he does. At one point, Adam did have to work himself to the bone and learn to survive from scratch alongside Eve. He isn't entirely without cause to not think that he deserves some respect or recognition from his descendants.

But, that doesn't give him the right to act like god himself. It's... well... Blasphemous. Isn't it? One of the worst sins is to think yourself to be worthy of worship, as if you're a god.

This is the moment that gave me empathy for them both. You could probably see the kind of loving person Adam could have been at one point with how he looks at Lute, even as he's laying there, dying. He's not crying like a bitch, just looking at Lute softly. Lute screaming for him, screaming his name. They cared for each other deeply.

And this... and this.... and this. WHAT DEAL DID YOU MAKE, LILITH? Did you make it with Sera? Did you make it with Adam? Did you make it with Lute? Did you really just want a little 'vacay' away from the hell you helped create? Left her husband, depressed and lonely. Left her daughter without any care or guidance. Maybe Alastor was sent in her place, perhaps? Seven years since he was seen after all, but why wouldn't he show up sooner if Lilith did care? Did she make a deal with Lute and Adam? Did she let Adam smash it so she could stay in heaven? Did Lute let her stay in exchange for getting Adam out of a position of power? Or was it maybe Sera who commissioned Lilith with a deal? Either way, I'm in full belief that it wasn't Adam's idea to move the extermination day up. I think he's a patsy, a scapegoat. I think Lute may have been manipulated, potentially, into manipulating Adam into this position. Was it even really Adam who came up with the idea to do the exterminations? Or was he the one who simply decided to fight originally because he was told heaven was at risk due to Lilith's rising power? The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions. I think it could be any number of these. Either way, Lute certainly does think she had authority over Lilith. Is it Lute just having hubris? Or is Lilith truly bound, just like Alastor, Husk, and Angel Dust?

Of course, now that we know a soul can be redeemed... and we certainly know that angels can fall. I don't think this will be the last we see of Adam.

Aromatic was that under the sizzle of tobacco embers as it lay mark. Tainted by the madame with her enthusiasm for giving such a kiss to one who desired punishment. Escaped noise of winces following a pursuit with quivers.

V I L E ♡ P U T R I D ♡ U G L Y.

It would ring in one's mind as if being taunted by ghosts of the past. Mothers and fathers are the bare reason for the love of lustful milk in the hue of vital fluids as snap goes the hot leather. Various other items along the table.

You could see such all around, sense it with anticipation while the heart raced.

"Oui? Little Jezebel? What a name you have."

Now, the posture went back to normal, almost predatory as the elder woman sized the younger up. Incorrect of one's actual name as it held some purpose. Placing black-nail to one's chin in thought, an eyebrow went down. "Hmm....A job, you say? I may have such an opening."

With sudden force, the demoness bashed her heel down into the eye socket of the damned below her whom she was toying with before. A scream follows out of sheer pain.

"I suppose I'll have to interview you, mon cheri."

The overlord's words were softened enough to feel safe, but it was apparent they had an underlining tone that would make even the strongest demon piss their pants. Narrowed hues follow along to add to such intimidation while a lovely smile is pulled.
