"Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins; it is itself the essence of all sin." - John R.W. Stott

"Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves." - Ezra Taft Benson

"There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance." - John C. Maxwell

"Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God." - Saint Augustine

"Any kind of sexual indulgence, even a lustful glance, is condemned by God." - Charles Spurgeon

"Lust hath these three companions: the first, blindness of understanding; the second, hardness of heart; the third, want of grace." - Saint Basil

"The person who is committing the sin of sloth may be doing nothing visible that is wrong. Yet he is rejecting the presence of God, refusing the joy of love." - Peter Kreeft

"Diligence overcomes difficulties, sloth makes them." - Benjamin Franklin

"[Sloth] is sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good... it is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds." - Saint Thomas Aquinas

"Envy is a dangerous sin. To envy someone you love is to kill a part of yourself." - Alisa M. Libby

"When men are full of envy they disparage everything, whether it be good or bad." - Tacitus

"Envy is the most stupid of vices, for there is no single advantage to be gained from it." - Honore de Balzac

"Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction." — Erich Fromm

"Greed chains you to the things of earth. Generosity sets you free for the things of Heaven." — Unknown

"Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us." – Peter De Vries

"Mastering one's appetite is the very foundation of training in self-control." – Musonius Rufus

"Gluttony and Lust are the only sins that abuse something that is essential to our survival." – Henry Fairlie

"Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin." - William Gurnall

"Anger is something that people think they can control and hold onto, believing they have a right to it. However, like a baby tiger that grows into a full-grown tiger, anger, if left unchecked, unrepented, and unsanctified, will eventually consume a person and their relationships."

"Anger is a so-called respectable sin, meaning it is not considered very bad but is nevertheless devastating because it is sin and condemns individuals before God."

I thought on how Asmodeus' dragon would look like and here he is in this picrew, I've named him Hell Fyre

I've did more on Asmodeus and it says that in classical demonology, he's frequently associated with a dragon. In grimoires and mythology, he is traditionally depicting riding an infernal dragon and is heavily tied to serpent and imagery.

The Lesser Key of Solomon: In the Ars Goetia, King Asmodeus (or Asmoday) is described as having three heads—one of a bull, one of a man, and one of a ram—along with a serpent's tail and webbed, goose-like feet. The text explicitly states that he rides upon a fierce inferno dragon

Dictionnaire Infernal: In Collin de Plancy's 1818 French encyclopedia of demonology, Asmodeus is depicted riding a lion that features dragon-like wings and a neck, further cementing his draconian, destructive, and lustful associations.

Testament of Solomon: In this ancient text, Asmodeus tells King Solomon that he is known by various titles, including "the Great Bear" and "the Offspring of a Dragon".

Fun Facts:

Hell Fyre has been taken in by Asmodeus sometime after the latter was banished from Heaven

He was originally an ordinary a fire breathing dragon but Asmodeus had Lucifer/Satan to put a spell on him in order for him to survive the very harsh scorching temperature of Hell the dragon can't handle giving altering his appearance

Can turn between his anthropomorphic appearance and feral forms at will due to the magic casted on him plus gained sapience

Is the only dragon living in hell and has the role of being Asmodeus' bodyguard plus mode of transportation

In his anthropomorphic form, he's a bit taller by five feet than his superior and other demons

Hell Fyre is quite a fighter hence why he has scars running across his mouth

I saw a TADC critical blog did a shout out to idolomantises on their review of episode 8 of TADC and curiously went to the comments section, a user had something interesting to say about the artist.

You know, I realize that idolomantises blocked me here on this app because before then I could see their blog. I have a suspicion that they blocked me after my comment on their post saying that the Hellaverse stans were being nasty to them about their upcoming own portrayal of Stolas that I said "Don't listen to them, I bet your own Stolas will be better than the Hellaverse's" something among those lines to be supportive.

I guess idolomantises took offense to that I mentioned the Hellaverse. I agree that they seem to hate the Hellaverse that much to block anyone who is affiliated with it fans or not. It's, uh, hypocritical that they block people who interacted with the Hellaverse while they themselves posted a lot about it in a critical way according to the user.

I dunno, it kinda soured my view on idolomantises a bit though. I still like their work but reading this made me have mixed views on the artist which is unfortunate. I want to say something to anyone who sees this.

I myself am not even in the fandom (don't like it) but that doesn't stop me from criticizing the shows/characters nor will I be a hypocrite to block people who talk about it while I'm doing the exact same thing as they are.

Idolomantises having that much vitriol against the Hellaverse is too much. I understand that not everyone likes the series but to overreact when someone mentions it even in a supportive manner is odd. They could've at least politely told people here not to compare their own portrayal of the demons and angels to the Hellaverse and/or not mention the series instead. I have a feeling that they're just that overly sensitive like another user told me, I agree with them.
