Surely you'd think the guy who's known for "over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste" would be gluttony but no he's greed.

And Beelzebub's party fit so much better as this expensive event she consistently pulls to flaunt her massive wealth and to build her reputation and worshipers born from her "insatiable desire for material gain (be it food, money, land, or animate/inanimate possessions) or social value, such as status or power)". It also lead into why she got concerned about bitzø, she doesn't want someone ruining her party.

Mammon has been shown to be incredibly wasteful (note how he eats during the lunch scene during the trial). on the topic of the scene, it makes no sense for Beelzebub to have been disgusted by Mammons actions but as the Greed sin his wasteful nature would conflict with her ideals.

Also, I think it can help explain why Beelzebub's appearance (especially why she is so thin). As gluttony, it doesn't make much sense and her design imo isn't excessive enough compared to the other characters to properly justify that interpretation. Being greed, her chosen appearance (young, stylish, thin) would tie into her vanity and desire for social value.

Beelzebub's queen bee motif also works better, as power and worship is a component of greed but not gluttony.

This topic has been on my mind for a while and it sent me on a long brainstorm session regarding how this change would affect the Rings of Hell, because the primary colors of the Sins fully or partially correspond to the Rings of Hell they rule over:

🔴 - Pride - Lucifer: while Luci is mostly white, it's because he's a fallen angel, his palette still has red, primarily through the apple motif 🍎

🟠 - Wrath - Satan: his palette consists of red and yellow, which do make orange if mixed

🟡 - Gluttony - Beelzebub: light yellow fur to resemble a bee 🐝

🟢 - Greed - Mammon: green suit that references greenbacks 💵

🔵 - Lust - Asmodeus: blue feathers (maybe the color was chosen, so the skies would look the most like actual night time, which is connected to lovemaking, I guess?)

🟣 - Envy - Leviathan: mostly purplish scales (I genuinely have no clue what possible connection there is between envy and the color purple)

🩷 - Sloth - Belphegor: palette consisting of pinks and very soft pink-adjacent purples (this makes sense to me personally because, thanks to the Medicalcore aesthetic, I do associate pink with hospitals, among other things)

So, if we make the Queen Bee 👑 🐝 motif for Greed (which, honestly, works very well as it can be associated with gold 🪙), we need to reassign the colors for the other Sins and Rings too:

Since we can no longer use Green for Greed, I think it makes sense to reassign it to Envy (as a reference to the idiom "green with envy").

With the rest, I can see different possibilities:

Gluttony: in Christianity, orange is associated with the sin of gluttony and this color, in psychology, is said to trigger food cravings (similar to a combination of red and yellow), but I can also see pink being a good choice as it can be a reference to sweets (which would work well with the whole Cotton Candy theme, which was present in the episode in the Ring of Gluttony).

Sloth: the best suited colors are soft and/or cool, so it could either be left as pink or changed to purple or blue (additionally, the rainbow can be made closer to the one in the real world and, instead of having pink, have light blue, which would be for Sloth while Lust remains blue).

Lust: could either remain blue or be changed to pink, which is more commonly connected to love, passion and sex.

Wrath: should definitely either remain orange or be changed to red as those two are the most associated with strong emotions and aggression, but red much more often.

Pride: either leave as red to preserve the apple 🍎 motif and to have the most important part of Hell, the place where Sinners are held, be of the color that's most associated with Hell... or make it purple as it's a color of royalty, which is not only closely tied to pride and vanity, but, you know, makes sense for the KING of Hell. In the case of the latter, it would be best to either have the rainbow that's similar to a real one (with the light blue) or to stay with the one we have but change the position of the pink ring, so that the purple is one of the outer rings. Whether it'll be the bottom ring or the top ring (would have to be a reverse rainbow for it to work) will depend on what someone would want story-wise: for Lucifer's ring to be the closest to Heaven of the furthest.

Here's my personal preferred system:

🟣 - Pride - Lucifer 👑

🔵 - Lust - Asmodeus 🔞 or Sloth - Belphegor 🏥💤

🟢 - Envy - Leviathan 🐍

🟡 - Greed - Mammon 🐝🪙

🟠 - Gluttony - Beelzebub 🐶🍗🍔🍕

🔴 - Wrath - Satan 😡

🩷 - Lust - Asmodeus 🔞 or Sloth - Belphegor 🏥💤

- he's holding Zooble in a way so that their parts don't fall out

- he's not squeezing Gangle so that her fragile ribbons don't get tangled

- he's not putting too much pressure on Ragatha so that she doesn't get ripped apart

- he's only holding Pomni and Jax firmly because their bodies are solid and rubbery

And this scene is right after the torture too. You would think he would be more violent, but no. He wanted to hurt them, not break them.

Caine wanted them to listen. And because they never did, he made them feel what he felt when they poked at his biggest fears and insecurities.

Wanted to draw more of these green beans

I like to think that as Buttercup got older she's begun to feel more comfortable showing her feminine side while still being a tomboy

Also i thought this would be funny lol

whatever, bombing you with big Doey pack and leaving for another two weeks or so✌

Doey vs Prototype sketch comic under the cut

Oh dear god I finally finished some fanart for the new episode!

It’s really scrappy but I just wanted it to exist. 😂 (I’ve been so busy freelancing lately, takes all my energy for fanart drawings).
