(crawls out of a crater) how we doing folks. I had to type little footnotes of my thoughts because there was just so much to cover and then type it up later. Here goes the ramblings of the Archivist.
A-papa-pology is adorable.
VOX WAS A BRUNETTE?? I legit thought he was gonna have black hair but points for giving him a rectangular vibe.Â
Of course he was a weatherman. Wouldnât you want to become god weather boy.
I really like the idea of Vox using studio equipment for his kills. It really helps to set up the contrast between him and Alastor. Alastor always used his own weapons for his kills, while Vox borrowed from his environment. It also adds to the theme of him copying other people for his own goals.
Of course his last name was Whittman.Â
I really thought Vox would be a straight up televangelist (and it might be implied and Iâm too dense) but I like the whole âgod of entertainmentâ thing. He wants the network to be run according to his interests and focused on him, not even referencing Christianity. He needs everything to fall exactly to his vision.
The visual of the TV landing on Voxâs head and electrocuting him fucks.
Angel may be in the worst place but he got the fit
I really like that when Charlie and Husk see him on TV, itâs not a huge blow up at Angel seemingly betraying them, theyâre just sad that they seemingly failed him to the point of willingly going back to his abuser.
Bad tickle made me giggle more than it had any right to.
THEY SENT ST. PETER ROTATING. I wonder how heâs been considering Heavenâs security this season. He wasnât with the gift basket squad, and even with Hell and Heaven on the brink of war, people are still dying, so St. Peterâs still gotta let people in.Â
What deflected the laser beam to the Extermination Tower?
Considering that the Elder Angels had no idea about the Extermination, and the way the Winners were murmuring, how horrified do you think they were when Vox threatened them with Extermination when they didnât even know about the first.
Didnât expect Sera to straight up bird scream but yâknow what the situation called for it.Â
Listen Sera I get it. Adam was objectively the worst and Lute is a walking red flag so you want someone the exact opposite of them. But was there really no other option?? You put someone who has zero military training in charge of your entire military?! If Abel and St. Peter get to exist in this universe, why canât we use Michael or something?
Who is Sera praying to?? Girl you ARE the higher power
Not Abel being a little right about them both having good points. Like Hell is openly getting ready to fuck them up so itâs not unreasonable to be ready to fight but genocide should be the last resort.
âWell Iâm rather stealthy. And everyoneâs busy screaming right now.â Someone make that an incorrect quote.
PENTIOUS FLYING LETâS GO
One of my favorite tropes in media is immortal beings learning about humanityâs flaws by experiencing those flaws themselves, so Sera and Pentiousâs part, mwah
Say what you will about Alastor, you canât deny his ragebait game.
AW WHAT THE FUCK. DID ALâS LEGS ENTER A NEW STAGE OF EVOLUTION DUE TO HIS ARMS BEING TIED DOWN.
Oh hey KeeKee i was wondering where you went
Oh Baxter. How you demonstrate exactly why we need more than eight episodes. Donât get me wrong, him being willing to fuck over his boss because they folded his blankets the exact way he likes it is funny but câmon! They shoved him in the basement for a good chunk of season 2! Let him bond with more of the cast! Explore those dynamics!
Also weâre in agreement that was Niffty right. She seems to be the only housekeeper the hotel has. Come to think of it we need to give her more credit. Her song is about how gross and dirty the hotel is but is there any other cleaning staff? Not to mention the fact that the hotel was designed with the hopes of at least the majority of sinners choosing redemption. And excluding the few who might choose to room together, thatâs an individual hotel room for each possible sinner. Do we have any idea how many rooms that only Niffty is cleaning? And Niffty still finds energy to do specific tasks, like folding Baxterâs blankets exactly the way he likes it.Â
TL;DR This season put more respect on Nifftyâs name and Iâm here for it.
Baxterâs singing voice is mwah, again, he deserved more screentime!
you will not make me feel bad for valentino. Itâs an interesting character angle but iâm not giving him sympathy.
I have to say, Valentino and Velvette started off as one of the weaker duos in my mind, but I like what this season is doing with them. Velvette is the one who keeps his feet on the ground when heâs off being a lovesick fool.
Abel once again is lowkey right. Like heâs funny during this scene but dawg if I had no military training and got told Iâve gotta go down to hell and fight demons Iâd be panicking too.
Overall I really like When I Think About The Future. It fits a specifc genre of âcharacters getting ready to fuck shit upâ that only Ready As Iâll Ever Be fit before.
That frame of Niffty saying she can protect Baxter looked cooler than it had any right to be.
Vaggie. The hubris. This cannon fires the only thing that can permanently kill you. You need a plan Vagatha-Â
I really like that Voxâs electricity can manifest as a shark, but why is this the only time heâs using it?? Who is trying to impress??
When did they have the time to make a PowerPoint?? Did Charlie make it or Baxter?? Considering Baxterâs beef with Pentious, I doubt he would, but the mental image of Charlie asking him to make a PowerPoint all about his ex while theyâre on a time crunch is very funny.
THEY FUCKING MUTED HIM. Based, you funky little fish man.
Niffty and Baxterâs whole thing is literally the âPress the Buttonâ bit from Portal 2. Iykyk
NIFFTY GETS A SOLO FIGHT SCENE LETâS FUCKING GO.
Cherri is this not the first time youâve had to break Angel out of V Tower. Did you use a sack the other times or was it just for Angel to puke it.
I love that Baxter wasnât even injured, no, the reason he broke away from the plan was to cheer Niffty on and watch her kick Velvetteâs ass. You can pry madmaid from my cold dead hands.
THIS IS WHAT HEâS USING THE FAVOR FOR?? My god Alastor. I respect the 4 dimensional chess.
BOSS FORM VOX?? PRETTY PLEASE
Touch-repulsed alastor ftw!! I thought something was off about his little radio screech when Vox put his hands on his shoulders and I knew it!!
Vox why are you surprised Alastor used wordplay against you. Not even the fact that heâs a demon in hell, heâs the Radio Demon. His medium is literally built on words, what else did you expect.
RADIOSILENCE REMATCH AND VOXâS FINAL FORM FUCK YEAH!!
Husk youâve been spending too much time with Charlie. The magic of friendship canât fix hypnosis.
I love Huskâs stage magician shit :))
SHOK.WAV MY BELOVED⌠heâs literally the best demon shark in the world, coming to save his dad.Â
You know Iâve been wondering how theyâre gonna turn Hell against Vox and. Well Vox firing a permadeath cannon all over the place. Yep thatâll do it.
MY GOD. VELVETTEâS BALD. SHEâS BALD AND SHE TORTURES PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAIR.
AND HERE COMES NIFFTY WITH THE STEEL CHAIR
Oh I love Velvette falling into individual doll pieces.
Oh yeah the plot convenient orb. I keep forgetting Heaven just has that.
So like is Velvette already bald. Like she used some magic to regain her hair but like did she spawn into Hell bald and had to figure out her hair spell.Â
âVox is losing his shitâ What gave it away, the villain laughing or the firing of a permadeath cannon everywhere.
Carmilla I love you but it should not have taken you long to realize your daughters would not be safe under Vox. You should have seen the red flags when that man rolled up to your house with a sombrero.
Who the fuck said âIâll be back for season threeâ??
Dude I love that Sera has faith in Pentious even when Emily is in danger. It really shows how far sheâs come.
Why would you send Lute. This is why we have 15 minutes left. I was wondering why we had 15 minutes left when â
of the main villains were defeated. This is why.
Everyone say thank you Velvette
Damn. I kinda wanted to see him fly.
Vox youâre Valentinoâs drawing tablet now as punishment, I donât make the rules.
Ok so weâre just gonna drop that Nifftyâs magic. I mean Iâm here for it but what kind of magic is that? It kind of looks like lines on a map??
Guys we have 15 minutes left it is not the finale. Why are we singing like itâs the end credits.Â
Dawg it should not have taken this long to give Abel a solo, that man is the Fall Out Boy! Also, fun fact; I did grow up listening to Fall Out Boy but when I heard Abel sing in When I Think ABout The Future, I didnât register it as Fall Out Boy, oh no no no. I recognized him as another cartoon singer, from another cartoon with questionable writing, albeit more kid friendly. Thatâs right, I was a SVTFOE child, and I deadass went âRUBERIOT?â
Please tell me Lute does more in Season 3. Praying that theyâre doing the same thing they did with the Vees of setting her up early, focusing on another villain for the season, and then teasing her with the last episode for next season.
Ok so all overlords are magic, makes sense, but was Niffty an overlord? What did she do? Why did she sell her soul? GIVE US THE NIFFTY LORE DAMN IT!
And the Rosie lore too, she is incredibly worried about the castâs safety for some reason. I just want more women lore in general.
Aw Niffty being a lovebug <3 If I can figure out what itâs about Iâm definitely writing a MadMaid fic in the future.
HUSK WILTING LIKE A FLOWER AND WITHDRAWING INTO HIS WINGS LEAVE ME ALONE.
Angel really started this season in a good place and went exclusively downhill from there huh
HE DOESNâT EVEN HAVE FAT NUGGETS WITH HIM FUCK OFF.
Vaggi? With no E? Really? They hyped up Vaggi changing her name all season, and this is the result? I mean itâll make changing her name in tags easier but jeepers. A meta joke about Vivienne/Vivzie was right there, câmon!
No credit to Velvette? She quite literally dragged Val there.
Oh I really like Emilyâs prosthetic wingâŚ
Damn they should call her Lilith Cliffhanger instead of Morningstar
