Do you know what I love about Hazbin Hotel though?

That the angels are clearly sinners too.

Not only the fact that Adam curses all the time and talks about casual sex (which, he’s possibly even cheating on his wife then??) but also, the angels kill demons and Adam even admits they enjoy doing so. He calls it entertainment.

And Vivienne’s making an excellent point: when you do something bad to a group of people who are considered beneath them, minorities, everything else…

What you do to them suddenly isn’t bad. It’s okay now, it’s righteous, because you’ve dehumanized these people.

And then when they try to fight back? Like the single slain angel exterminator? Well then magically it’s a problem.

When Lute said that “the only reason [Charlie’s] still around” is that Lucifer gave her and all the hell-borns some kind of pardon or protection from being killed in these exterminations, I was like ok, that makes sense. I was starting to wonder/assume that the extermination was something that only applied to sinners because it didn’t seem to affect any of our Helluva Boss cast.

But then I was like, wait, why would they want to kill hell-borns anyway? For sinners you could argue that they “earned” it through their bad deeds, but hell-born have no choice but to be born there? And they seem to have a functioning society, just one that’s “edgier” than human society. Also, plenty of the hell-born are good people?

But THEN, I remembered that is a fundamentalist Christian belief: that you can already be born bad, and that the same deeds can be good or bad depending on who’s doing them. Lute taunts Charlie that her life doesn’t matter…that’s a sin, right? Except no it isn’t, because of who’s doing it and to whom.

I love queer people’s takes on Heaven and Hell, they’re always great.

#im glad my joke about the imp cast driving down I-95 in the van and being like #‘what’s with all the blood today? oh right that extermination thing’ is still canon #hazbin hotel spoilers #hazbin hotel #helluva boss #hellaverse #vivziepop #lucifer #adam #hazbin hotel lucifer #hazbin hotel adam #lute #hazbin hotel lute #charlie morningstar #hazbin hotel charlie

Hi there! Anon sent reeling by S1E6 again! And I would just like to say that your response to my ask made me So Normal. Especially you bringing up S2E6, which is why I’m currently setting up a lawn chair here on the brink of insanity, because apparently I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.

Because yes, you’re completely right about S2E6 demonstrating this cycle of pushing others away while pushing themselves towards greatness and accidentally leaving pain in their wake that MK and SWK have managed to stick themselves in, but ALSO now I can’t stop thinking about how we get Shadow Play IMMEDIATELY afterwards.

Like… how much do you think Macaque had seen? Obviously he could see MK getting too caught up in his own head (*cough* and trauma *cough*) and shutting out his friends, but… how much had he seen seen, you know?

And now I also can’t stop thinking about how immediately after Shadow Play, we get To Catch a Leaf. Which is obviously an incredible episode in its own right, but it’s also the first episode since Minor Scale where MK is surrounded by his friends and he lets them help him. Because in S2E6, Mei and Sandy are with him, but he’s not really with them. He’s focused on getting stronger, to the point where he ignores them telling him exactly how to do so. And in the beginning of Shadow Play, we learn that he’s been further isolating himself off screen and blowing off activities with them so that he could focus on ‘[being] ready’.

But then To Catch a Leaf happens. And it starts off with MK surrounded by the others, having recently done something fun (curses aside) with Mei, and it’s not a big deal. He’s not stressing about getting stronger or being ready, he’s just… there with them. Present and in the moment, at least as much as he can be, and it’s fine. He’s fine, and more importantly he seems to be letting them in and being a bit more open with them.

And this carries on into 72 Transformations! Because obviously he still hasn’t told them The Thing, but he does go from ignoring/avoiding them while trying to get more powerful to calling them all up so that he can involve them. Figure at least some things out, together. And it drives me insane because he was getting better! He may very well have worked his way up to telling the others about LBD! But then she came a-knocking with more trauma, and it blasts him two steps back and it’s just… AHHH! He was SO CLOSE!!!

Also, side note: Do you think MK believes he has a body count? And I don’t even mean the nebulous potential casualties from all the recent disasters that MK blames himself for, I’m talking about Spider Queen specifically. Because MK isn’t an idiot. If he didn’t know she was dead (or whatever getting sucked into the furnace counts as) immediately after the sewers, he would have put two and two together after Destiny Fulfilled. And considering this is the guy who blames himself for DBK getting out despite knowing that SWK was right next to him in bird form the entire time, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that he probably thinks it’s his fault. So… do you think it’s possible he sees himself as a murderer? Or, like, murderer adjacent? And if he does, how much more layered and messed up do you think that’d make the potential ‘Wukong reveals he killed Macaque’ moment?

Sorry for the long ask, the monkey show has changed me for better and worse. I will never be the same. *reclines on my lawn chair, gazing out over the precipice of madness with a thousand yard stare*

One: never apologize for a long ask, especially when it has so much good stuff in it! Two: I KNOW RIGHT. The monkey show really does change you for the better or for the worst. I'm still reeling from s4 and it's been 4 months, and then the s4 special came in and permanently altered my brain chemistry once again. I have a house next to this abyss.

ANYWAYS.

The back and forth of MK's character is one of my favorite things about lmk (of which I have many)! He takes 2 steps forward and then 4 steps back, and I think that's a testament to what getting better can look like—it's not linear. Sometimes, it's not even moving forward, and that's hard.

I think a great example of this "2 steps forward and then 4 steps back" phenomenon is MK's growth in Revenge of the Spider Queen:

MK starts believing in himself, smiling at that face in the mirror. It's not a strong belief, not yet, but it's a start. You can even see him making this attempt to improve in 2x01:

(this got a little long so everything else under the cut!)

MK: "Ah! Ugh, come on MK you can do this! Self-confidence! That's Monkey King 101!"

"Wait! I am worthy! Definitely worthy!" I'm Monkie Kid! Basically the new Monkey King—might have heard of me? You know, the next chapter? I'm totally worthy!"

(2x01 Sleep Bug)

MK's even trying to mimic Monkey King here, the person he thinks he should be:

But then, as you've mentioned, LBD and 2x05 comes along.

And it's funny, because now we know MK did become more like Monkey King, just like he wanted, but it's in all the wrong ways.

((Kind of a side note: We also know that Monkey King couldn't have "picked the wrong successor", because there honestly wasn't another option for a successor to begin with. MK grappling with like, 3 levels of Wukong lies is what makes s2 so delicious to watch))

And then we have 2x06, and THEN 2x07, and I'm sure that's exactly why Macaque stepped in! He saw MK going down the same path Wukong did. The drive to become stronger, pushing his friends away—Macaque in Shadow Play knows exactly what he's talking about:

Macaque: "Well, with ol' Monkey King not around I thought someone should teach you a lesson! Ah MK, you really are dense, aren’t you. Haha, you saw a story about a hero who got handed everything, who didn’t have to work for anything, and you thought you were the other guy? The second the hero got real power, he couldn’t care less about his friends. That’s you bud." (2x07 Shadow Play)

("Everything I did was for us!" "You did it for yourself!" *head in my hands .png*)

Wukong leaves. That's what he does, and that's what he did to MK in both Revenge of the Spider Queen (leaving MK to fight Spider Queen and her mech alone) and 2x01.

And honestly, MK in s2 is simply doing his best to pick up the pieces, to be Monkie Kid alone, without SWK or even his friends. But it doesn't really work—hiding LBD's return from his friends didn't save them in 2x10, and it didn't stop the Lady Bone Demon, just like Wukong hiding LBD's return from MK didn't protect MK from any of it.

This pattern, of walking in Wukong's footsteps and making the same mistakes, keeps repeating itself.

MK's 2x08 parallel to Wukong in 3x10 is another good example of that.

MK's terrifying of hurting the people he cares about, so he leaves. He runs off, and this only hurts his friends further. ("Can't you see you're hurting the people who care about you the most?" and "I can’t risk hurting the people I care about—the one’s I have left.".)

And so, tying this all back to the s4 special, we're starting to see MK take 2 steps forward again:

MK: "You ever wish things will just stay like this, like they are right now?" Sun Wukong: "Pssshhkk, where's the fun in that?" Tang: "Uh um, Monkey King, we need to have a serious conversation about your idea of fun."

Mei: "At least we fixed something for a change, instead of destroying it!" MK: "Yeah! So long as we leave the world in better shape than we found it, then it's all good right?"

(4x14 Better Than We Found It)

And I'm waiting for the eventual 4 steps back.

Because well..."At least we fixed something for a change, instead of destroying it"...it's not that they didn't fix anything, but plenty was broken:

Flower fruit mountain was destroyed. Azure died. Whoever orchestrated all of this is still out there.

So, MK's current answer to "doing what you think is right" leading "to pain" might just not hold up. Because well, MK can try, that's for sure, but all that effort might still not make it a net positive, you know?

I think MK will blame himself for Azure's death, for SURE tough. He might have residual guilt about Spider Queen and everyone else harmed along the way, but Azure is the one I'm certain on. MK feeling like he's a "murder adjacent" and that compounding with the "Wukong Murdered Macaque" reveal and being "just like Wukong"...OH BABY. IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER.

Like,

MK: "I just- I just want to be me. To be MK!" Curse MK: "Yeah well...we all know exactly where that leads." LBD Voice Over: "To pain."

(4x07 Pitiful Creatures)

Identity and destiny are very much intertwined in this show, and MK doing what he thinks is right and being himself leads to pain. That's exactly what happened to Azure—he took the Jade Emperor's throne to try and make the world a better place, but all he managed to do was barely fix what he himself had broken.

MK: "Yeah well...I'm kinda always the one getting the world in trouble to begin with so..."

(4x01 Familiar Tales)

All it's going to take is one antagonist speech towards MK that hits a little too close to home, and everything else is going to come crashing down.

I am very much getting geared up for my s5 lego tragedy, thank you very much!

#legitimately SO ill over it #Like MK is going to go full harbinger of chaos. I don't see any other way this will shake down #*sobbing* IT'S ALWAYS TO PAIN #MK tries SO hard to have positive character development but he always gets struck down #this is probably my favorite ask ever thank you anon #it seems like you enjoyed the monkey show. I'm glad we're all enjoyin' it #brb I am gonna go and rewatch 2x08 because I can #one of my favorite episodes #Like. Sandy accidentally destroying the bear mountain DRIVES ME INSANE. INSANE. HOW COULD THEY DO THAT TO ME.#Like Sandy's answer to ''to pain'' was very similar to MK's. He was choosing not to fight so he couldn't hurt anyone #But that didn't work out!#And this is imp's continuing adventures of going insane over Sandy and MK parallels #''I AM a monster! That's what the world wants me to be—so that's what I'm gonna give 'em!''#Okay jan #Thanks #This will have no implications down the line #lmk meta #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #asks #lmk MK

so so so we're all aware that caelum’s name means heaven or sky, right? now imagine two scenes connected by a match cut transition where in the first scene, we’re witnessing freelancer, gavin, and caelum spend halloween together in the prime universe. caelum jumping up and down the sofa because cookies! candies! fun fun fun! and freelancer, with a smile on their face, reaching up to him so he would calm down a bit and also not break their couch, you know. gavin stands there, peacefully smiling, watching them. this is his peace, his haven. then it cuts to vindemiator and imp!freelancer solemnly watching the night sky together, with freelancer quietly stretching their arm skywards to pretend as if they're touching it, holding it. this is the closest thing they have to tranquility. once it crumbles, they're left with nothing.

#as much as i refuse the idea that the r.asmr storyline will ever work well as a film as it does in this medium #this idea is achingly beautiful #caelum (sky) is never in the imperium but. also always up there. fl just can't reach him :(#i wonder if vindemiator is in any relation to imp*caelum (i assume he's in aria)#imagine him just being relieved that caelum isn't here for any of these harmful experiences #and then looking at freelancer just thinking. he would have loved you. so much #their empathy. their drive. their kindness #. stab me #empathy lives here and it's not caelum this time #an empathy that makes his heart ache #because **does he deserve this? does he deserve caelum? freelancer?**#wooh the angst #redacted asmr #redacted freelancer #redacted gavin #redacted caelum #redacted vindemiator #redacted imperium #redacted audio #echotober #rambles

hmm...

#i already have an original fiction pen name and some published stuff #but it is not ever going to be tied to this account #so now i am contemplating creating a brand new original fiction pen name and publishing some stuff and advertising it here #because i'd like to leverage all the readers i have here #and i could unleash all the truly unhinged original fiction that's just sitting on my drive that no one will ever see otherwise #or the silly stuff that no one wants to publish #hmmmmmmmmmm much to consider much to consider #how many different writing identities can Imp maintain?

Shimadacest Headcanon #31:

(Continuation of Shimadacest Headcanon #29 and #30)

The baths aren't enormous, but there's a hot bath and a cold bath.

The hot bath is bigger, big enough that Hanzo could sit in it with his parents despite all three of them being fully grown adults, plus tiny Genji wading around, giggling and splashing water into their faces.

The cold bath, on the other hand, is just big enough for one person, because one is meant to simply dip into the icy water to rapidly cool down.

After training in the hot, humid dojo, however, there's a mad dash for who gets to go first. They haven't even cleaned up yet, so they're both still sweaty and disgusting, but as soon as Hanzo discarded his sweat-soaked briefs in the clothes hamper with a wet thud, his only thought was to cool off...and it's apparently Genji's only thought, too.

"Genji!" Hanzo grunts, struggling towards the refreshingly cold water.

"Me first, me first!" Genji shouts, right into his ear since he has his chin on Hanzo's shoulder, sounding like the toddler who used to splash water into his face.

He has his strong arms wrapped around Hanzo's midsection.

His chest is plastered to Hanzo's back, his pecs flexing as he tries to throw Hanzo off-balance off to the side.

His erection is slotted between Hanzo's buttocks.

Hanzo is only a man, and the feel of a hard cock there, despite his focus on trying to escape Genji's grip, is enough to make him hard, too, and his erection is bouncing up and down and side to side as he twists and turns.

He can see Genji's face out of the corner of his eye, and he looks so smug that it sets Hanzo's blood on fire, and he gathers himself to burst out of his brother's grip.

At the very last moment, though, Genji grabs his cock.

"Gen...!" Hanzo gasps in surprise, involuntarily freezing in place.

Genji squeezes, but gently, then fondles Hanzo's ballsack with his fingers, feeling their hefty weight...then he pumps Hanzo's erection, once, twice, thrice. All in the blink of an eye, or at least it seems that fast to Hanzo's paralyzed mind.

Then, just before Hanzo can recover, Genji's gone.

Leaving behind only the heat of his touch on Hanzo's skin.

Then he fucking jumps into the cold bath.

Hanzo is immediately soaked.

Genji stays under the water for a few seconds, then he reemerges to peek over the edge of the tub.

"Oh, look," he says mischievously. "I found a way for both of us to use the bath!"

Hanzo can only scowl at him, dripping with icy water, his long white hair hanging down in mats.

He turns away and heavily sits down on one of the stools in front of the faucets and shower hoses. "Drain the tub now that you've ruined the water," he commands sullenly, fighting to keep from visibly shivering.

Not from the cold, though.

Despite the icy water, he can still feel Genji's warmth on his skin.

And especially, potently, on his rock-solid cock.

#shimadacest headcanons #shimadacest #Young Genji is such an imp #only he could drive dilf Hanzo to even consider getting into a bath before cleaning up first
