ð“„¿ THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER [ 2023 ]
RAHUL KOHLI as Napoleon Usher in 'The Fall of the House of Usher' (2023) trailer
ROUND 1 — Match 175 of 286
Lucifer (Hazbin Hotel)
Identity: Pansexual, Word of God Notes: Referred to as pansexual in official promotional pride materials. Propaganda: N/A
vs. Napoleon "Leo" Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher)
Identity: Bi/Pansexual, explicit Notes: In a relationship with Julius (a man), and shown sexually involved with a woman. Propaganda: "he is not perfect and is 100% still a privileged and ultimately selfish cog in the usher machine BUT he is also the nicest and most openly emotional and Human usher sibling. when everyone else dismisses perry as an unserious bastard kid, he's there encouraging him and telling him he's gonna be unstoppable once he figures out what he's capable of. when perry dies and everyone else Instantly moves into damage control and PR, he's the one crying and yelling about how cold and heartless they're being because Their Brother Died. he's shown having genuinely heartfelt and honest conversations with camille and just hanging out with her - CAMILLE, the sibling known for being extra callous in The World's Most Callous Family - and even when he's trying to scramble and fix his own fuck-ups at the cat shelter with verna he's standing there like "hey if you let me take a kitty home i'll give your shelter all the money it could possibly need and fix this whole place up for you :D". he only really starts to unravel after he loses both her and perry and verna starts fucking with his perception of reality, which i think is super telling considering every other sibling dies with her barely having to do anything because their own psychology and sins and behaviour push them into their karmic ends, while leo is the only one who has to be actively manipulated and really Forced into it by making him believe he's done something that he hasn't."
Who should advance?
Lucifer
Napoleon "Leo" Usher
oh OOOOOOH their deaths mirror each other. Tamerlane and Leo are both driven to what looks like suicide chasing hallucinations around an apartment that architecturally represents their psyche (as they destroy it), shortly after leaving/planning to leave their loving partner. (Both of them invite her in, at first. Both of them want her there. But now she's in the mirrors. She's in the walls.)
Vic and Camille are both killed/driven to death by Vic's experiments, their rivalry leading to both their deaths (Camille to prove it doesn't work, Vic to prove it does), immediately after they get left by people they are using in professional/personal ways - Camille hires Toby and Tina to sleep with them, Vic dates Ali to get her to work with her on the heart mesh.
Perry and Frederick both die in the same warehouse, looking at the ceiling, waiting for death to come to them - Perry with a look of ecstasy, Frederick in terror. Both of them are in that warehouse because they've been humiliated by Roderick and are now determined to prove themselves. Both get led here by drugs. Both involve the mutilation of an innocent, Morrie. Both of them see Verna not as another character, but something like her true self. And there's the parallel between all the mercy that Verna offers Perry - the most she offers any of them, other than Lenore - and her glee in explaining to Roderick exactly why he deserves to die like this.
And then you get the final pairing/quartet of deaths - Eliza Usher + William Longfellow vs Madeline and Roderick which is obvious but oh my god. oh my god you guys. Eliza's wall of crucifixes and clinging to Christian faith and the sanctity of pain as a way of hoping for reward after death vs Roderick putting Madeline through the agony of vivisection to 'honour' her + grant her Egyptian immortality. Both William and Roderick eat their young. Fuck.
