For the circle of fraud Hozier really said “if I was death incarnate you’d live forever, that’s exactly how much I don’t fuck with you” and hid it behind the happiest song on the album

Do you guys think that Judas was awkward in the mouth of Satan in the ninth circle of hell cuz the two other guys he was trapped forever with know each other. Like do you think Cassius and Brutus had a lot of inside jokes and Judas would try to join in and they would have to gently let him down. While being chewed on.

i want to talk about how the parallel between gideon and bedelia mirrors the parallel between pope nicholas iii and lucifer in dante's inferno
contrapasso: "the divine punishment of a sinner mirrors the sin being punished"
in dante's inferno canto 19, the pilgrim and virgil are in the eighth circle of the inferno where those guilty of simony (corrupt churchmen) are punished. these people (including pope nicholas iii) are eternally, with flaming feet, upside down in baptismal font-like holes.
their contrapasso is their baptism being perverted in the same way they perverted the church. upside down in holes like baptismal fonts, their feet are "baptized" with fire instead of their heads being baptized with water.
(left is pope nicholas iii's flaming feet. right is dante and virgil reaching the other side of earth after climbing lucifer's body, where lucifer's legs stick out.)
in mark musa's notes for canto 19, this specific line lit my brain up like fireworks
"in the final canto of the inferno…dante pauses and looks up to see the raised legs of lucifer protruding from the crevice in which he is frozen, like a magnification of the legs of nicholas. just as nicholas defrauded god's church, so lucifer tried to defraud god himself"
(the beginning of gideon and bedelia's contrapasso-esque punishments. i just noticed the same leg is the first to go for both. and theyre both wearing blue. hmmm....)
in november, i made a post connecting gideon and bedelia's fates in hannibal: their limbs being cooked and eaten one by one in front of them. both gideon and bedelia were living lives that were not theirs to live. gideon as the chesapeake ripper, and bedelia as hannibal's companion in italy. so, they both get to see how it feels to (literally) have a part of them, their identity, their lives, taken from them, just as they took those things from another. the divine punishment of a sinner mirrors the sin being punished.
just like nicholas defrauded god's church,
gideon mocked the chesapeake ripper
so lucifer tried to defraud god himself,
bedelia tried to mock hannibal and will themselves.

Second Circle (Lust) - Francesca; I Carrion (Icarian)

I had a revelation. Look at this.
Dante Alighieri versus Secondo.
SOMETHING IS THERE. This might have been intentional. Look at their noses and profile. They are strikingly similar.
I always thought Secondo looked familiar, but I never could figure out who it was (not just Pitbull) until just now. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I realized. I’ve seen Dante’s death mask in person, as well as several other works depicting Dante. Their faces are definitely similar, especially the nose. I can’t be the only one who sees this.
Tobias may have done this intentionally, but I don’t know for sure. Am I the only person who’s noticed this?
And to further expand on this theory, wouldn’t it be cool if Dante Alighieri was the founder of the Emeritus line? There’s no precedent or evidence for it, but it’s an interesting concept.

Behold!
The Lucifer spreadsheet! Compiling and comparing over a dozen Lucifers!
Submissions welcome, don’t mind the Good Omens role play references, yes this is my special interest specially interesting.
Update! I accidentally forgot a Lucifer but he’s here now.

Ya Ik this is supposed to be a Hozier account but I’d let Halsin from Baulder’s Gate 3 rail me and I think there’s significant overlap between people who relate to that sentiment and my target audience so
