Reading Consumes Me

What is Love?

Passionate nights and wedding celebrations?

Two kids, picked fence and obligations?

I define love differently, something more akin to...

When I cook, I cook for two

When it's late after work, I come to pick up you

When I make a warm drink, you get the bigger cup

When we're eating ice cream, you get the last spoon

But it's not romantic love I feel for you

My love is of a different kind

It's liking all your favourite songs, even the ones I hate

It's folding your clothes, or doing the chores

It's being a bit unserious when I speak, so you will smile a little bit

It's staying at home when you are sick

Just existing as two, is the purest love I can give you

Lavender Marriages were marriages of convenience between a man and a woman to conceal the socially stigmatized sexual orientation of one or both partners.

Just, think about it. As a woman in the early 20th century in the United States you'd have close to zero freedom. Barely with a right to vote, women still couldn't live independently.

Now, while married to Alastor you'd have guaranteed freedom from any form of unwanted martial sexual activities. No unwanted touches either!

Alastor holds deep admiration, and respect for women (due to his mother) and has always preferred feminine company. This guy would actually be interested in what you have to say! Your opinions, beliefs, dreams - all of those are valid and he's unironically listening to them.

Thanks to his mother, he'd never make you beg for money in times when you can't even open your own bank account. He'd also support you in your own employment. If the workplace requires your husband's permission he'd just sign it and move on with his day.

Don't even get me started on entertainment with this guy! He plays the piano, he's a good dancer, he's charming and charismatic enough to work as a radio host. You'd never be bored with him! Even if you're more of an indoors, bookish person he would just leave you to it. He's completely capable of having his separate life and you never have to worry about him cheating on you.

Bedsides, if anyone wrongs you you do know they won't go unpunished...

While he might not give you complete freedom when it comes to decorating your house, you can live sound and be sure that he'd never hit you no matter how drunk he'd be.

the maddest duo of them all

they are too perfect for Hell

AND THIS

You right. If the song had a better segue and it was used as an establishing number leading into their relationship deteriorating instead of the really weird ass makeup song, it could have worked a lot better.

I still hate every song Vaggie sings because the voice is just not her voice, but the performance in a bubble isn't heinous (when they mix it properly). She's an excellent singer. Too bad they made her modal voice so low. That was so unnecessary. It doesn't even add anything to her character and serves to make the songs feel less like a musical.

I had to draw their human forms too at some point (I keep giving them such a height difference on accident…)

This headcanon has the sweetspot of ‘Omg giving blorbo the same traits as me!!’ but ALSO it just adds to his themes. Its a headcanon that doesn’t clash or even just neutral, but expands him.

Vox’s ENTIRE schick is that he copies people higher up the totem pole. He copies the news anchor, the late-night talk show host, the producers, the king of Hell, and tries to make himself God. Who has the highest ‘natural born’ privilege? A rich cishet white man.

Just the way Asians (At least East and Southeast, no idea about South and West) always try to copy Westerners, white people, try to be the ‘model minority’ compared to those ‘’’’’disgusting’’’’ black people. Fucking Vincent Whittman. Because of Hazbin’s humor its just a joke but if this was a more serious show that kind of obviousness would hint at something!

Vox is animated so smoothly and the sheer amount of expressiveness in this song alone has such a grip on me.

So many fun poses too. Everything about VOX POPULI from the song itself to the insane animation quality, Vox’s amplified expressiveness, even his personality showcasing the extent of his ability to be extremely charming/ cunning. What a perfect song.

Part of his punishment is Lucifer has got to live with the choices humans make with free will because of him, and they stuck him with those who'd made harmful choices and would likely continue to be the worst in the pit they're all trapped in with other exploitive or violent or selfish sinners. Heaven wanted Lucifer to regret and feel guilty for what he did, so he's not allowed to see good from it. Even as King he can't try to make it more appealing for sinners to make better choices with rewards.
