The Witch of hopelessness

But that's when we see it in Season 2. Lucifer isn't the type to take responsibilities for his fuck ups. He's the type of person who'll try to slink away from the person he angered until they force a confrontation with him. That's probably what added to his sentence to be honest. The folks in Heaven seeing that Lucifer was unrepentant of his actions, was blaming others for his failure, and tried to run away from the consequences so they stuffed him in a place where he could no longer run from what he's done.

I do find nearly everything about Lucifer weird in the shows to be honest.

If it was just Hazbin Hotel ok, Lucifer is depressed, his wife left him, Sinners are basically running amok without him being able to do anything and he straight up signed a deal with Heaven about Exterminations. He is an absent, depressed neet who can't even support his daughter while she is over her head but trying. No need to think that much about it.

Then we learned Hellborn is a thing, he created Goetia, he might even have created the Sins and most Hellborn are basically under the yoke of his system. Where the lives of lower class Hellborn are cheaper than water. A system where not even the Goetia and the Sins are free from, even if they suffer less, see Stolas and Asmodeus. Oh and he is also neglecting all of them.

Dude puts more effort to his ducks than his kingdom or honestly, Charlie.

“the gay community was never racist”

around.. ppl need to

see some history

Oh he do, trust me he do. He is not the exception. He is terribly traumabonded with his father like his sister. Perhaps not to the same extreme as her, but enough to impact his current life.

If Osip ever opens up about his homelife, he will say that he ran away from his family on his own accord. That is a lie. He was actually banished against his will. He never wanted to leave the family and begged for his father's forgiveness before he raped him one last time and sent him his way. Because let's be real, nobody wants to be left homeless on a whim and lose everything they have. Osip didn't want to lose the connection with his mother and his sister, despite how cruel Kapka was to him sometimes. He didn't want to lose the connection with his father either, because although Osip despises Yaroslav, he is still attached to him and yearns for his approval. The banishment basically told him that it was over, that Dad will never love you. Very terrible and memorable night for him

The banishment was the best thing to happen to Osip, but he doesn't know it yet. He's miserable because his thoughts are still consumed by his father and the false hopes that his father would take him back home with open arms. Osip hates how much he thinks about his father and he hates that he's attracted to him even more. Its why he dreams of him constantly, why he keeps his gifts and photos. One minute he'll wish the old man croaks and the next minute he's fantasizing about him. Osip is all over the place

Osip can't make any progress in his healing journey because he is in denial of his attachment, and until he can accept that he is attached to his abuser and process his grief, he wouldn't be making any progress. Part of his character arc is learning that he can live a sustainable happy life without returning to his old one. He just needs to let himself build a new life around his grief, because the only person holding him back now is himself

Yup got a list of em

Yaroslav: Chess, tennis, golfing, reading, and oddly enough crafting miniatures. He used to make realistic furniture for his daughter's dollhouses and at lesser times toy cars and toy fish for his son. He taught the two how to play chess, with his daughter being the closest person to beat him. He also has a huge collection of ships in bottles that he crafted himself and has a lot of pride for. Yknow, these damn things

They're all sitting on shelves at the beach house in his study room (until his son broke into the house post-banishment and wrecked his belongings). He's irritatingly talented at all of his hobbies and any new ones he pick up.

Verochka: Baking and cooking, she loves making tasty surprises for the people she loves. Merfolk view cooking differently than humans in the sense that it is not treated like a necessary life skill to have and treated more like a leisurely activity (because well, they don't cook underwater. That's not a thing for merfolk). It's also something she looks back at fondly because Yaroslav introduced her to these activities when they first started dating. She didn't visit the surface often in her childhood due to her focus being more on her family's farm, until Yaroslav took her to dates up there.

She also likes making jewelry. As a child she used broken pieces of seashells scattered around her farm to make necklaces and bracelets for herself. Now she has much more expensive material to work with. She makes jewelry for the family and sells them to others

Kapka: A lot of her hobbies were picked up by her father because she grew up doing them together with him. She loves to read, is fantastic at chess, and crafts miniatures. She likes to make replicas of the animals she admires and hang em up on her wall. She used to watch her dad make the dollhouse furniture for her and paint with him, brings her happy memories

The only hobbies she has that doesn't involve her father is her care of her pets. In fact, that's more of Verochka's department. One of the few times she has the chance to bond with her daughter is when she teached her animal husbandry from her experience growing up in her farm.

Typically the servants are supposed to maintain the pets, but Kapka insists them to let her do it herself. She has many different pets scattered throughout the palace, including but not limited to her giant spider crab, her two barracudas, her nurse sharks, mantis shrimp, and various of reef fish that live in the anemone garden outside. Its her favorite spot to read and relax at. She loves her clownfish. She also writes sometimes, either in her journal about her nature findings or her diary

Thank you! And yeah I got a couple:

Jonas Venture, Sr. (Venture Bros)

I’m sure this one is not a huge surprise, some have already asked me if I took inspiration from him for Yaroslav. I took inspiration both off of appearance and how terribly he’s abused and used all the people in his life while still being seen in a positive light and loved by the public, just like the icky merman king

Speaking of his kid, guess who’s one of Osip’s inspirations

BoJack Horseman (BoJack Horseman)

They both victimize themselves and excuse their actions in similar ways. Yaroslav obsesses over being his idea of a “good” person and his insecurities cause 90% of his problems cuz he’s a fucking baby. You’re gonna hear a lotta empty apologies from that merman

John (Clarissa)

If you’ve ever read the Clarissa comics, this one is self-explanatory. John sexually abuses his daughter, the rest of the family carries on like it’s not happening. It’s where I got the inspiration to make Yaroslav a stereotypical suburban dad to a comical degree for the sake of normalcy, although in his case it’d look a little different because he’s royalty and lives in the USSR rather than the US lmao. I love the Clarissa comics for how they’re able to make humor out of such a tragic topic and how the “normal” behaviors within the family exposes all of the hidden rot once you realize the context. I’d highly recommend to check it out

Plus, I can imagine baby Osip acting with Yaroslav similarly to how Clarissa does with her father. Only difference is he’s more mischievous and obnoxious because he still wanted his father’s attention, both positive and negative

Fire Lord Ozai (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Yaroslav grooms Kapka the way he sees fit just like Lord Ozai does with Azula. They both pit their children against each other so that they’re easier to control. Zuko, like Osip, was the scapegoat child and eventually got banished.

Osip is literally just Zuko except if he had Sokka’s personality. One of Kapka’s inspirations is also the other sibling, Azula. Kapka sees the world as a hierarchy: She and her dad are at the top, and everybody else including her brother and mother go to the other pile of irrelevants. She sees herself superior to her brother and didn’t shy away from reminding him that when they lived together.

Clay Puppington (Moral Orel)

This one was already mentioned but I’ll add it to the list anyway. Personality wise? Yaroslav would be the closest to Clay Puppington. They’re both insecure, self-righteous, and put up the facade of being a normal, well-put person while being violent man-children. Nothing is ever enough for them. The only difference is that Yaroslav doesn’t use religion for his self-righteousness and he’s not an alcoholic (He thinks he’s too good for that. Sometimes he’d indulge with alcohol in the privacy of his palace but it’s rare). His relationship with Bloberta was also one of my inspirations for his struggling marriage with Verochka.

He didn’t take it well

Yup, in fact it's recommended by doctors for land-traveling merfolk to have a soak at least once a day or else they can dry up too much and it'll lead to health problems and in severe cases death. It's one of the reasons why Osip still lives nearby the coast. He can't survive without saltwater and if he ever does move elsewhere, it'll have to be somewhere with easy access to water. It's the same reason why the Volnovsky beach house is located nearby the water. If you got the urge to swim then you can just simply walk out the door
