#ninjago #ninjago spoilers #ninjago dragons rising #dragons rising spoilers #NO CUZ THIS US ACTUALLY FUCKING HILARIOUS #ME AND MY SISTER LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT THIS SCENE #is bro just gonna ascend every time his boss talks to him? 😭 #imagine being an outsider in that situation #your boss is giving you shit and all of a sudden he stops mid sentence and just freaking ascends #and he stays like that until his boss is done talking to him and you’re just standing there awkwardly #both Ras and Lloyd be tripping balls this season fr #🤣🤣🤣

I think we as a society moved on way too fast from Lloyd canonically being a part of The lego movie events

#lego ninjago #no but exactly #I went CRAZY over this when I first saw it #I remember repeatedly watch Enter The Ninjago #I reimagined the entire lego movie with Lloyd and the rest of the ninja as major characters #we need to dwell on this more

The look of horror on his face is 👌

If Adam switched places with Emily (part 2)

#pt.2 of me gushing over this AU #this reveal would be so much worse for Adam than it was for Emily in canon #because those are his descendants #his offspring #and he’s just learning that they were being permanently erased in a sadistic manner #all behind his back #and sera #who’s basically his mother #approved it #you can see the growing horror on his face #I imagine that he’d be worried to death for Cain #he wouldn’t know if his firstborn was killed without him ever knowing #the family drama he’d have with sera afterwards would be DELICIOUS #hazbin hotel #hazbin art #hazbin hotel au #hazbin adam #hazbin hotel adam

YAAAAAAASSSSS

If Adam took Emily's place

#hazbin hotel #hazbin adam #hazbin hotel au #I saw this one swap animatic with Adam in Emily’s place and I LOVED IT #I’d imagine him and Sera have a mother-son relationship #which makes the family drama SO MUCH MORE SPICY #Adam: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’VE BEEN CULLING MY DESCENDANTS?!

4KOTA Thoughts

Ok, so the Jericho episode is out.

I haven't watched it but I'll give my two cents regarding that scene. Ya know, the one where we find out that Jericho is a pedo and her main reason for serving Arthur is so she can have the false reality she wants instead of facing the real world and doing what she needs to do, which is get over Lancelot because ma'am that is a child.

This is an instance of show don't tell, where through showing both us and Lancelot Jericho's current state, we learn how Arthur gets people to join his side:

He gives them what they want, not what they need.

In this instance, Jericho wants a world where she can love Lancelot 'as a man' or a world where her love for him is normal. But what she needs is to accept that simply will never happen and get over this love. But going after what you want is a lot easier than admitting and finding what you need. She's back to how she was in the early days of 7DS. Except instead of it being her hating Ban and needing to learn to love herself, she's latching onto an unhealthy love instead of letting it go.

This 'what you want, not what you need' mentality is even reflected with Arthur. He wanted a kingdom where humans could live safely. In theory, that's great. But the way that Arthur puts the theory into practice is where we see a 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' scenario play out. Arthur isolated Camelot with the use of Chaos to keep humans trapped in a bubble where only humans would be allowed. What Arthur needed to do to keep humans safe was to learn how to work with the other races in a peaceful manner. And given he knows the Sins, he easily could have done that.

Diane and King are the rulers of their respected races, with Meliodas and Elizabeth being real damn high on the pecking order of the Demons and Goddesses. However, because Arthur went after what he wanted rather than what he needed, we currently have the events of 4KOTA.

In a way, he reflects the Sins. But while the Sins overcame their flaws, Arthur is falling further and further into his. How much of this is Arthur and how much of this is Chaos is up for debate, but I am hoping that Nakaba does something interesting with this parallel.

#this is actually so interesting what #I came to a similar conclusion myself #ironic how Arthur claims that a king must put his own wants aside in order to properly serve his people #yet he indulges in his own hatred for the other races and essentially takes the easy way out instead of actually working with them #which would’ve been best for everyone of all races #seven deadly sins #nanatsu no taizai #four knights of the apocalypse #4kota analysis #nnt analysis #nnt jericho #sds jericho #4kota arthur #nnt arthur #4kota spoilers

The Exorcists’ Masks of Virtue

The vast majority of Exorcists in Hazbin Hotel have a notable design element that other angels don’t: their masks are missing an eye. Specifically, the right eye.

I believe this is a reference to the Bible, Matthew 5:29. Jesus says, “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”

He’s being hyperbolic. Mr Free Healthcare was not pro-mutilation. What he means is that you have to be willing to make sacrifices to prevent sin. The context of the eye metaphor is him condemning adultery and warning that even something as easy, casual and small as a look full of lustful intent can lead to further, worse sin if you don’t notice your sin, hold yourself accountable for it and do the work to not let it influence your decisions. This will probably be hard. It could be very, very painful. Changing your perspective can feel as horrible as plucking out your eye, so many people can’t bring themselves to do it. But although it won’t feel that way in the moment, it’s healthier for our general wellbeing in the long run to abandon traits and behaviours that damage ourselves and/or others.

(You may notice that Jesus’s teaching that you can have sinned, redeem yourself by giving up sin and thus escape damnation is the founding principle of the Hazbin Hotel. You may also notice that it contradicts everything the Exorcists believe.)

The Exorcists seem to follow this idea of painfully excising badness for the sake of the greater good devoutly to the point of placing it above teachings like ‘Thou shalt not kill’, with their job being to remove sin, in the form of sinners, to protect Heaven. Hence the missing right eyes. They’re a declaration of moral righteousness and inability to stumble.

But the truth is that the Exorcists all have their right eyes. Their flawlessness is a facade. Underneath, they are untouched, think themselves morally untouchable and, as shown by their horror and outrage when even one of them is killed, would much rather be physically untouchable too. This perfectly represents their complete unwillingness to acknowledge their own faults, let alone improve. They are never the ones who sacrifice. They force the sinners to sacrifice and don’t compensate it with any salvation. They metaphorically rip out the sinners’ eyes, but still condemn their entire bodies as inherently, permanently sinful. So they’ll just have to do another Extermination to get the other eyes! And another one to cut off their right hands! And so on until there’s nothing left.

The only exception to the rule is Vaggie, both in appearance and character. Her mask has the left eye crossed out instead. Even before her expulsion, she’s set apart to the audience as an Exorcist who has the capacity to, shall we say, see a different side of things. Her mask having its ‘sinful’ right eye reflects her understanding that the Exorcist worldview is wrong.

When she almost kills a demon child, her hateful vision clears. She discards the part of herself that’s an unquestioning, merciless agent of death, terror and grief… and as punishment for what Lute perceives as treacherous weakness, gets her eye plucked out.

Of course Lute leaves her with only the ‘sinful’ eye. It brands Vaggie forever as the inversion, a perversion, of what the Exorcists are meant to be.

You know, all this talk of eye removal in the Bible reminds of another line - ‘an eye for an eye’. Adam directly quotes it in “Hell is Forever”. He uses it to frame the Exterminations as Old Testament-style punitive justice; the sinners did harm and so they receive it. But putting aside the debate about how ethical the concept of revenge is, the entire point of taking an eye for an eye is that it’s proportional. The punishment fits the crime. If someone cuts your eye out, you shouldn’t murder their whole family in front of them and then slowly disembowel them to death. That would be the sin of wrath. You should just make them pay without excessive pain or collateral damage. This is the fairest form of revenge.

The Exorcists don’t do that! The Exterminations aren’t proportional to the wrongs of all they hurt, nor was Vaggie’s brutal punishment equivalent to her extremely mild insubordination. Lute literally takes Vaggie’s eye, and more, after Vaggie does nothing to her! That’s the opposite of the phrase! Adam and his soldiers are wrathful and cruel, deriving satisfaction from others’ suffering. But they just can’t stop going on and on about how disgustingly evil the sinners are, in total hypocrisy… despite some of the sinners being far better people than the genocidal Exorcists are… it’s like they’re obsessed with specks of dust in the sinners’ eyes when they have massive logs stuck in their own. Oh hey, that’s in the Bible too!

#hazbin hotel #hazbin meta #no because this is so true #the exorcists are the embodiment of the sin of wrath #they’re everything angels shouldn’t be #wrathful and cruel #and I hope it’s addressed in the show #would be cool for sera to come to that realization #and I’m really looking forward to how the rest of Heaven reacts to the exorcists as a concept #especially for all the winners that have family down in hell

sinner adam means so much to me okay, it’s not just a “haha karma” thing, it’s about the feeling of being powerless, it’s about the loss of all his dignity, it’s about the breakdown he has when he realizes how little he really did to earn his place in heaven, it’s about the destruction of his ego when he realizes that he couldn’t convince either of his wives to stay loyal even when he was LITERALLY the only man in the universe, it’s about the guilt when he realizes that it was probably his fault that his firstborn son became the world’s first murderer, it’s about the crushing self-pity and purposelessness and worthlessness and FUCKING HELL i love it when a douchebag breaks like a reed
