A detail that I like in episode 2 is how Sera represents the mindset of Christian people where she is caught up in the guilt of her actions and that's all she talks about in the song whereas the Speaker represents actual Christianity and its ideals of learning from your mistakes and being better than you were before

Sera keeps talking about the past while the Speaker tells her to look towards the future. That's so great

Honestly I’m So glad that Sera is proven to be more complicated in the show and she’s NOT a straight up villain like some haters think she is. Honestly she and Sir Pentious and Lute are genuinely the best Heaven characters we’re seeing right now, and I can’t wait to see where Sera’s character goes from here

SAME! Sera's honestly fascinating to me. What most people seem to not understand is that Sera is good. She's a good person who did a horrific thing and now that weighs on her. I hope we see more of her and more of her guilt/shame over the coming story.

As someone who's been writing a complex Sera for almost two years now, there are so, soooo many people who just want her dead. They've already cast judgement on her and decided she is irredeemable. They decided that the story must get rid of her instead of dealing with all her messy, complicated nuance.

But that's the part I find fascinating! The messy complicated nuance!

We would like to think that good people would always do the right thing. That they'd always be on our side. But no, there are going to be good people who do the wrong thing. We think that people who do 'wrong things' are bad people and will never improve. But that's exactly the trap Sera fell into and the one she's realizing is very wrong.

She listened to others, she believed them at their word. She chose to be ignorant of the suffering and chose to look away. That responsibility lies on her shoulders and she's likely just as harsh to herself as she was towards those sinners. She must find it in herself to forgive and make better choices, but she needs time...

I think these panels from Redemptive Triggers are very interesting in that regard...

“Every transgression must serve as a lesson”

This part in sera’s confession inspired this because it’s so haunting to me.

Like, the speaker of god just looming over her with her hands on her shoulders like an invisible weight representing her duty and how much her actions affects everyone and everything. The words themselves feel comforting, literally telling Sera that every fail should be turned into a learning experience, not something to dwell and suffer in. But the imagery itself paints the scene very haunting and heavy. It’s not talked about enough.

On a separate note. I accidentally did this while drawing and just wanted to share cause I thought it was sick af

Gabriel's Confession | "Historical" Hetalia Animatic

Finally I got to finish the animatic I had in mind since Hazbin Hotel s2 came out! Sera’s character reminded me a lot of the plot and narrative I have in mind for Gabriel/Hws Knights Templar outside of his shared story with Gilbert.

This scene in particular plays after the events of 1187 at the Battle of Hattin which is considered a horrendous loss on the crusaders’ side. For Gabriel as a person it might have been the first and last battle he personally engaged in before taking himself back from the battles and instead focusing on finance, caring for fiefdoms, diplomacy and the general protection of pilgrims. This one cruel battle changed his perception of his order forever and tackled his own perception on what is right and wrong.

But the guilt of having killed people and people dying under his command is eating him alive. In a moment of vulnerability he asks the Virgin Mary for guidance (as she is the closest concept of a mother figure he has and because she was a human herself) and pleads her to ask God for forgiveness and help for the future so that he would choose to do the right things and atone for his sins.

From this moment on and by listening to his heart he decided to do the best he can by choosing genuine kindness, empathy and gentleness towards humanity and the world around him.

So. During Seras confession, we are greeted with this lovely scene right here. But what does it truly mean in terms of the show? Let's delve deeper into it.

We see Lute standing and holding not one but two swords. Behind her is nothing but red, the colour of passion, desire, and blood. Then, the scene slowly fades into a lighter colour until Sera appears. Now it's white, the colour of purity.

To me, I personally feel as if this may be foreshadowing to a Lute redemption arc futher in the series. Seeing as in Sera's confession, the whole song was basically about her dealing with her guilt and accepting redemption. So by having Lute fade into Sera, it feels.. like foreshadowing to me.

Of course, we see Lute many times in the song since she is the face of the exterminations. She is literally the personification of Seras gulit. But this part right here doesn't just feel like Lute is thrown in there for Sera to reflect on her own actions..it feels a bit more purposeful than that.

Seeing as Sir pentious and Sera sang "Live to live" together which was basically a reprise of "It starts with sorry" I theory that we may get another reprise in the upcoming seasons, this time with Sera and Lute.

So in conclusion, this scene alone has sent me spiraling and believing that Sera will guide our favorite broken exorcist onto a journey of ✨️ redemption ✨️

It is 10 am, and I've been up all night so..this post may not make any sense
