#enigma force and fear negation

[highlifeboat]

I actually really liked those two :p Like, legit, they were my favorite characters from whole show. Not sure what kind of relationship they had, but they seem to me like two BFFS, who just judge everyone :p

Also, it's interesting, how there seems to be parallel between Adam and Alastor. I've read somewhere, that Demons prefer to change they names, but same thing seemingly applies to angels (Vaggie was named by Adam). But both Alastor and Adam use their real names.

More relevant thing is how they parallel each other in final episode. Like, both Adam and Alastor are top dogs in they field, but then they faced with enemy WAY out of they league (Adam for Alastor and Lucifer for Adam), suffer brutal defeat and then have total meltdown after it :p

Don't know if all that international or not, but I do hope Adam makes a return as a sinner :p

To each their own, I like Adam more than I like Vaggie, I'll say that. More than Vaggie, not as much as like... Emily or Angel. (Honestly I'd probably say I like him and Lucifer about the same. Lucifer a little bit more)

Alastor and Adam share the idea that they can't be hurt. That they're completely untouchable, when they aren't.

Alastor has probably never actually come close to second death before, or at least not in a dog's age. And now he realized that, despite himself, he's NOT untouchable and it scares him. All that power, everything he's built for himself, all the boasting and fear he's put into people with the idea that he is an enigma. he's defeated powerful overloards. He's done so. much. to prove himself as a force to be reckoned with.

He though so highly of himself and his power, that he thought he could take on one of, if not the most, powerful human soul in Heaven. By himself.

And Adam almost took all of that away from him.

IN

FIVE

FUCKING

MINUTES. (If even)

And the worst part? HE WAS FIGHTING FOR OTHER PEOPLE

Had Alastor died, he would have died a hero. Something that also negates everything he's made for himself. Something that would ruin his reputation, even if his "heroism" was a farce. (Which... is arguable on how much he cares for these people. I believe he's gaining a soft spot, whether he likes it or not)

There's so many things that his fight with Adam could mean for him, his power, potentially whatever deal he made, and he's fucking terrified of that.

Its taking the sense of control Alastor has and RIPPING IT AWAY FROM HIM by forcing him to consider the mortality of his soul, and who he just put that on the line for and why.

AND IT'S SOOOO FUCKING GOOD. I LOVE HIS MENTAL BREAKDOWN SO MUCH.

#FERAL OVER ALASTOR'S BREAKDOWN #everything else in the final is cool and all but FUCK MY BOY WAS HURTING #HIS SMILE WAS SO PAINFUL GOD #taking that scene and chewing on it like a feral little beast #those are the vibes I want Swap!Mia to have when she's alone and contemplating that her free will is not as free as she wants to believe #and she works within the constraints of a man who has a twisted sense on how to make a family #asks #horror lady00 #hazbin hotel spoilers

         Captivating views were always breeding grounds for introspection. There was an underlying enigma to all that glamour, fueling all pursuits of rumination, akin to the influence of a sleepless night or a particularly resonant memory. Try as she might to deny it, Maxine had not seen the world through these eyes: where opulence seemed only to abound, leaving its spectator in absolute astonishment. Her mind held no memories of pristine sheets; neither does it recall a time when her feet did not trod with such vigilance in fear of encountering something unwanted.

         The sight that lay before her marred any desire to resist contemplation. Maxine had witnessed Time pass before her eyes — the briefing met its conclusion; the sun waned and made room for the moon; and the stars reclaimed their place in the sky, setting the darkness alight — but she remained unmoved. What she felt was too powerful to be fully acknowledged, but too insignificant to be given a name. It resembled shock, more than anything, but it was a kind of shock that rendered her speechless and motionless altogether. There was an unseen force that glued her to her seat — the same seat where the bad news — anyone who daresay it was otherwise earned the sharpest of glares from the girl — was delivered to her: there was power in her very touch, but it was unkind to all those who beckoned it.

        A healer Maxine once was, a healer she could be no longer — not with the harm this curse her abilities could potentially lead to. But hope was not lost: there were negators, individuals who essentially robbed the subjects of their powers; and that control lay in someone who was not particularly unknown to Maxine. He once earned her ire, an emotion quickly replaced with respect coupled with envy. She detested him for being endowed with abilities that only enhanced his ability to heal; but, if there was hope for Maxine, it rested on his shoulders.

       Just as this thought acquainted itself with her mind, the familiar face — her negator — came into view. Holding her tongue was an impossibility, at least such was the case for Maxine.  ❝This is some fucked up shit our parents have gotten us into, huh?❞ The words fell out of her mouth almost immediately. ❝I mean, I guess it is for some of us. I wonder what it’s like — to get abilities you actually want.❞ The last statement was wondered aloud, and not without bitterness: it seeped through her words with transparency completely unrestrained.
