Happy Father’s Day! Decided to make a lil something with young Charlie with her daddy. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 🍎 🌳

Happy Pride Month from my Angel Dust !!!!! I was going for Drag Queen/Carnival/Vegas showgirl vibes for his look. I also wanted to give off peacock vibes for the MLM Pride flag’s palette, fits his sense of flair, and for a peacock jumping spider reference!🦚🕷️ Oh & Angel’s fan batons, the symbol is the apple eye(for my Hell Hotel Key symbol)

I added a lot of green & spade symbols for a certain feline he has feelings for🐈‍⬛🎰♠️ If he was to be on his own float, it’d be a giant version of Fat Nuggets/like Blitz’s being a horse, with spiderweb motifs. 🐷🐖🕷️🕸️

Also, I def see him want to share his float with OG Angel Dust and have a fun party with him💖 I also can see him have the real versions of their Fat Nuggets with them, dolled up for the Parade as well💖💖💖💖💖

Discussion ⬇️⬇️⬇️

which leads me to my second thing, everyone really recently just started getting more invested and open to the hotel idea. Everyone before was etheir doing it for their own goals, forced to or were in a tight spot. And because of that, no one really asked her any questions, checked what she had planned, and when a problem did occur, while they would call her out, didn’t get into things further to make sure things were understood. Topped with recent traumatic experiences from S1 & beign told of Sir P’s redemption on the spot, Charlie’s behavior didn’t get better until they had to push back even more, and the situation getting much worse.

Not to mention, with her being Princess of Hell, I’m surprised a lot of the gang weren’t more curious about her own understanding of right & wrong, and just people in general. That alone about her isn’t really taken into consideration by those around her in how that’d affect her potentially negatively. It’s focused on connections, authority, which is sued but always executed badly because it’s not just Charlie that’s messing up as royal, if anything she’s reflecting off a severely flawed/broken system. We’ve seen HB and how there structure and royalty act, she did NOT have alot of good role models, and that’s not even going into the questionable stuff implied about Lilith. We’ve seen Charlie worry about being too mean using her authority, just what did she see in other authority figures and Lilith, who’s she trying to simulate into believing that?

So much of her stuff isn’t taken seriously, including when she severely messes up. And while I can get them struggle to empathize or take her seriously with how she acts, her actions should be taken more seriously. The way she acts and does, shows a sign of someone who isn’t doing well themselves, and shouldn’t be left alone in a high power situation. So much of her pain and negative feelings are seen usually comical by others like her mourning of Sir P, or come off as self-centered….even when she has some reasons to feel hurt. Like being lied to, let down by someone who still neglected her, her loved ones going behind her back and making the same mistakes they complained about her doing. Lucifer was motivated by besting Al, who he drove away which isn’t brought up but Charlie thinks is all her fault….and in the end, got more of the sympathy & Charlie left with more for he scorn. For crying out loud, during the rally, Lucifer was tip toeing away & tried to trick Charlie into thinking she’s was having a dream, leaving her to deal with what he tried with Vox.

Vaggi while supporting Charlie, she was still distant with the sinners & just started getting closer/more personally involved because Charlie wasn’t in the place to, was keeping a big secret from Charlie & only just started getting more assertive to her and pushing back. And I imagine she may have thought about needing to address pasts but because of her own, might’ve avoided bringing it up/avoided thinking about that until it came up. At the very least, it’s def concerning she didn’t consider that herself. I’m not saying I blame them for her actions/behavior or that Charlie isn’t responsible for her mistakes. but it’s important to consider all the factors. If they had been asking questions sooner to make her re-evaluate sooner, been more firm with boundaries and weight of actions as well as get to know her more and her issues. That might’ve helped things from escalating sooner. At the very least, it would’ve been good for them all, especially Charlie. Would it have been easy, porbaly not. But none of this redemption stuff is meant to be.

I also Imagien S3 is going to be going into some critical issues with Lucifer and Lilith, specifically how they raised Charlie, leading the gang to realize there was a lot more going on with Charlie than they realized and might’ve unintentionally overlooked some serious underlying issues. With how much s2 was about Charlie’s mistakes, I hope s3 goes into everyone else’s.

I have a post talking more into Charlie’s issues.

What do u think? I’d love to know💖

some Scylla concept sketches

I should draw her more often, goatmily…

Based on some things I’ve been searching on, a lot of her issues and behaviour could be a result of being abandoned and neglected during those 7 years. Not just simply her pride and desire to see her mom getting out of hand. Not to mention with the reveal the Exterminations only happened 7 years….the time of her parents divorce and mother leaving her and dad fallign apart….that probably had a severe effect on her mental health, especially at such a young age. That emo picture of Charlie awhile back seems to imply she’s no longer 200 years old and might be regular aged.

Since shes meant to be in her 20's now, then that means all that stuff could've happened before she even turned 18...

I’m not saying I don’t think there were some writing flaws, nor should her mistakes be excused by her potential trauma. But at the same time I think Charlie could show someone with unresolved trauma. Alot of the kinda trauma Charlie coudlve experienced couldve effected her understanding of right and wrong, emotional regulation and even functioning skills. And even alot of her negative qualities and actions could stem from the impact of said trauma.

Not to mention with the tidbits of what we've seen from Lucifers personality along with the implied stuff from Lilith along with how we've seen Hell royalty operate in HB...Charlie probably didnt grow up with the best role models on how to use her authority. With the way Charlie is, she doesn't seem like she was too prepared for Hell, especially as a Princess.

Imagine the reaction the gang would have, reazlint that alot of Charlie's selfish moments that hurt them and made them frustrated and angry with her....were signs/cries that she needed help herself. It'd make them have to reflect on their own behavior and actions towards her, realizing they didnt take her issues as seriously as they should've and could've had a proper intervention sooner. Good chance everything that happened in S1 worsened her trauma, hence why she didnt seem to have learned from her past mistakes as much as prople expected.

Would it have been easy? NO! Would it have been the right thing to do and show they care and want serious change? YES!

There's also the biological factors that come with being not just the Princess of PRIDE, the worst sin, but being technically half human(her mom's side/ and demon/angel could have an effect on her biological/psychological chemistry.

Id love to see how Lucifer would react, realizing that alot of his daughter's issues, including her keeping distance from him and being frustrated from him...actually came from his own actions or rather inaction. Along with the impact of Lilith's actions. That she wasnt just overreacting to him making mistakes and not supporting the sinners but....failed to really be there that didnt hurt her. And good chance the way she tries to help/show she cares about others could be a mix of how shes been shown care and her own attempts to negate past things that hurt her. Only to replicate and make new mistakes💔

She could be an allegorical character of what happens when you dont confront your issues and inner demons....they'll get worse and continually consume you until.... And if the gang dont want to end up in the same boat, they need to confront their own as well.
