Honestly, people always talk about Lucifer depression. But for me, personally, after his introduction episode, his depression is suddenly gone.

It's heavily implied he has been in a depressed state for at least 7 years. So, for it to suddenly disappear after he started talking to charlie it quite strange.

(I mean, I guess it because he became happier? But I don't know)

Not to mention his depression is also treated as a funny joke by a lot of fans

So, I just want to add before I end this post that even though the character is fictional, depression is not.

Depression can have a significant impact on a person's life, affecting their mood, sleep, appetite, and overall well-being. It's important to remember that depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

Honestly, I don't see the point of Barbie's character for multiple reasons:

● she hasn't seen or mentioned since this episode

● We didn't even seen her reaction to the trial

● had no proper setup for her introduction

● We barely know anything about her, like how close she was with blitz

● Her relationship with her mom, dad, or fizz

Like, don't get me wrong, Barbie can be an interesting character if done right

But half the time, despite being the main character siblings and important enough that blitz track down where she was

She serves little to nothing to the plot or blitz character as a whole

Like we don't even canonically know how blitz ruined her life

a lot of people theorized that blitz burning down the circus that cause the destruction of their home/place of work

But we have no idea if these theories are true for all we know she could have care less of circus. Instead, she mad at blitz for causing the death of their mother.

andres dumb plan hinges too much on the idea of "stolas will come save blitz because he loves him and then hold himself accountable so i can take his legions! obviously!" when theres like. no implication that anyone really knows what blitz and stolas's relationship is, or that they even care about each other, especially not when stella said, "he finally realized that filthy little beast was only using him to gain access to his grimoire", like, what about that implies that stolas would give a shit if anything happened to someone who was "using him"? thats right - it doesnt! if andres plan had been properly executed in the stupid ass way he set it up in the episode, then blitz wouldve been executed, and fuck all wouldve happen to stolas after. if anything, hed be treated like a hero who was used unfairly by some low life, who was then slaughtered on tv to remind the lower citizens of hell not to fuck with the upper crust. imagine if that had happened, forcing stolas to go back to his home by himself; no stella since they divorced, no via since shes turning 18 soon, and no blitzy, ever again. maybe they shouldve just done that tbh, that way he could take over the show completely, since thats obviously what viv wants so damn bad. (also, stolas possible redemption arc when he realizes his actions actually DO have consequences!) or, i dunno, if she had the maturity to let other people look at her 3 year old script without surrounding herself with yesman, she mightve realized that she couldve kept EVERYTHING she wanted and still had the same ending, at the price of having stolas do the bare minimum and say, "he didnt force himself onto me, i.. forced myself onto him." the ending with all the imps hating stolas would make sense (because they know hes a rapist), blitz being able to even acknowledge any care he has for stolas might make more sense if he'd even SAY what he did wrong to blitz in front of EVERYONE important in hell, being a way to make up for his manipulative behavior and him hiding his face at ozzies, especially if stolas said, "i'm so sorry, blitz. for getting you into this mess, for everything ive done to you.." after blitz says thank you when they return home. (thats just the way i'd write it, because i cannot fucking stand that blitz says, "thank you, stolas, for saving my life," when blitz, at minimum, has saved stolas's life 3 TIMES AND HAS NEVER GOTTEN A THANK YOU ONCE BEFORE THIS POINT and was even INSULTED over saving him the best he could, because blitz needed to be there for his DAUGHTER first like a good dad, which is obviously something stolas has never comprehended since his sacrifice and willingness to die for his former forced sex slave in mastermind proves that, but stolas saves blitz twice, the second time being when hes holding himself accountable for his own actions that nearly got his "lover" killed to begin with? oh, heres a gold star, a thank you from the guy you forced to have sex with you to keep food on the table for his family, and a free imp to wash you just like when you were 12 i mean a totally not trauma bonded bf!)

Honestly, anon, interesting points all around! I didn't even think about all you said before you mentioned it.

Now, having blitz died is a very interesting idea

I mean, it would be very cool to see how each character reacts to his death, like having loona experience her sadness by turning it into anger and having millie and moxxie grieving with each other the best they can.

It would also be very interesting to see stolas hitting the deep end as he realized how his life is falling apart

I could see stolas trying to reach out to everyone blitz knew, and nobody wanted to do anything with stolas

From then on, the series would follow stolas as he deals with everything

So for mastermind, how come andrealphus kept painting imp as the villains and stolas as the hopeless victim

It has been made clear since his first appearance that andrealphus hates stolas and wants stolas job + money

Andrealphus should know painting stolas as the helpless victim would lead to stolas not getting punished

My guess is Viv + the writers wanted a romantic gesture to happen, where stolas would sacrifice his life for blitz, but they didn't know what to do to make that happen

So viv, if you knew that line was gonna trouble, why didn't you or your team add something to show that Satan was lying

I mean, one way you could have fixed it is by having Oz or Bee saying something about it instead of them looking awkwardly towards Lucifer chair and then to each other

This is how I would probably rewrite the scene to have Oz and Bee saying something about Satan lying

Satan says, "I am the mastermind, and here I am the law. I've ruled the endless dark since long before the golden angel's fall."

Oz quickly whispers to Bee. "Here he goes with his lying bs."

"I know! And it is not like anyone believes this. Everyone knows that Lucifer was here before any of us!" Whisper Bee

Then, before Oz could respond, Mammon loudly shush him

Is this a rewrite of this scene the greatest ever? Absolutely not

I tried my best, and I guarantee someone has a better idea of how to rewrite this scene. But this is how I would fix the scene.

If you guys have any ideas on how to rewrite this scene, please do tell!

Hey, so Angel and Valentino are not a hate-love relationship

Valentino is Angel abuser and also his r@pist

Valentino shows all these toxic behaviors towards Angel

And for the people want anymore proof

Hazbin Hotel episode 2 shows Valentino making a lot of belittling voice mails to Angel

Then episode 6 shows Valentino literally hitting Angel and reminding Angel he owned by Valentino

I also include these sceenshots to show the differences between a toxic relationship and a hate love relationship

What Angel and Valentino have is not a hate-love relationship, it a toxic relationship

Why does the CANON KNOWN R@pist get a whole page to himself!?!?

Also, there is no way people find this dude sexy!??!

Look, I'm sorry if I'm sounding somewhat mean, but this is just so frustrating!

Like they could've one of the other characters fill this page like Vaggie, Husk, or literally any other character.

Yet they choose Valentino.....
