Pretty much. And Peter is a pretty bland one, unfortunately.

I do have some ideas. But I need to explain some of the biblical background for it.

TLDR; Peter is not the biblical Saint Peter. He's just one of many angelic doormen at the gates. This gives me the opportunity to make many different interpretations of the character.

Under the cut is some tangents I went on about Apostolic Succession.

Charlastor was pretty much killed by HGD, Radiodust doesn’t interact, Radiorose was practically killed by the s2 reveal

The only other popular Alastor ship that wasn’t massacred by the show is radiostatic, but to be they seem on thin ice after the events of season 2.

I might be wearing a tinfoil hat here, I don’t know if Viv is planning on putting him in a relationship at all, but the amount of ship tease he gets with soo many characters, especially Lucifer, both in show and in merch is weird for an alleged aroace character.

they are going to be exploring his asexuality, but it’s really suspicious to me because Viv’s writing has obvious and noticeable patterns and the tropes RA has overlaps a lot with Stolitz, and alot of her other relationships.

Apparently the VAs said Lucilith will be on the struggle bus, and Lucilith to me reminds me a bit of Stella and Stolas, but I don’t think they are as bad as them.

I am extending the biggest olive branch, I really don’t think Al will be in a relationship, I hope, but I also don’t put anything past the Hazbin writing team, and Viv.

I just don’t really see the point in giving Al an asexuality arc. Not that it couldn’t be interesting to explore, but does Al really need one? His sexuality never struck me as that important to his character. Al isn’t looking for love.

Ew, no.

In the Heavenbound AU, I just haven't wanted to delve that deep. If I had to commit to something, it would probably be the creation of more people, even if they don't eat the fruit(the fruit granted morality, not humanity. Humanity is inherent.). Adam and Eve were the first humans, but that doesn't have to mean they were the only ones created from the earth. Descendents would still have Adam and Eve as ancestors.

Biblically, there's no explicit answer. There's different interpretations and theories.

Apocryphally, it can vary. If I remember right, most sources say Cain married his own twin, but sometimes it's Abel's twin. And some sources say Seth married Abel's twin, while others say it was a different sister.

More under the cut

Whether or not you are religious, atheist, agnostic, or whatever, you have to understand that Jesus is a very important religious figure. In Christian theology, he is the only perfect person. No mistakes, no sins. He's always a perfect balance of righteous fury and mercy and compassion. Whatever he says or does is right whether we understand why or not. Most Christians believe he Is the one and only almighty God, as per the trinity doctrine. A smaller number don't believe in the trinity like that, like unitarians and LDS, but Jesus is still no less important. Either way, he was the only sinless person, yet suffered for our pains and sins in a way we can scarcely comprehend. Even if you're atheist, you have to recognize that this is a really big deal to someone who does believe in it.

There are two general directions they could take it that would concern me.

First, they could villainize him, like they did with Adam. The characterization of Adam was controversial enough, doing the same to Jesus would be way worse and highly disrespectful.

Second (and more likely imo) would be if they used Jesus as a puppet to advocate their own agenda. Because he is the epitome of righteousness, they could have him say something in support of something Christians would generally object to. It's basically an appropriation of something sacred for an opposing agenda. To be honest, I wouldn't even trust most Christians to depict Christ correctly.

I guess a third option is if they made him a regular winner. But that would be a weird choice for such a prominent figure. It would come across as dismissive.

What I would want is for the hellaverse to just leave Jesus out of it entirely. Let it be a plot hole if it must. And I believe Vivzie has enough sense to not mess with it. I know St Peter is in the show, but that doesn't actually have to mean anything about Jesus, just that Peter was good enough for heaven. The critiques are more about christian culture and expectations of conformation rather than the actual faith.

I'd broaden Zooble's to Black people since they're non-binary.

I don't know much about Indian stereotypes outside of sexualizing ones (which. I guess Gangle is harassed so technically still fits unfortunately). So I can't speak on those much.

Zooble, however, is pretty blatantly an Angry Black Person™ that's villainized/viewed as inherently antagonizing for having negative opinions. And it really fucking sucks.

desi women are often expected to be submissive and obedient, both by our own culture as well as the rest of the world. india also has one of the largest number of r*pe and domestic violence against women.

i personally think that the decision to make these characters POC was a last minute thought, possibly to pull attention away from the racism allegations. but they just added fuel to the fire by making the characters such blatant stereotypes.

i genuinely think that creators should avoid discussing their show for at least a month after the show has finished airing. that doesn't mean they can't engage with the fandom, they can still repost fanarts or cosplays and have meaningful interactions with their fans.

i just think they should let fans draw their own conclusions before going on social media and talking in depth about how you should be viewing a certain character. at that point, you're basically telling your fans exactly how to feel, and discouraging critical thinking.

even worse is when fans use this as a justification to attack anyone who has a different opinion. "you're not allowed to hate this character, the author confirmed they have anxiety!" "you can't headcanon this character as anything because it goes against what the creator said in their deviantart account!"

during the era of TV broadcasting and before social media was such a huge thing, the only time creators could talk about their shows was in interviews and stuff, if they even got those.

and while that probably created problems for them, the good thing was that they had to add any important detail IN CANON, because they couldn't just hop on twitter and be like "oh btw these characters are dating". and they had to be comfortable with their audience drawing different conclusions and having different perspectives of a character or a plot, instead of being told exactly how to feel.

and you know what? if you had that experience, good for you. i'm not here to tell you that you can't feel happy about queer representation or see yourself in a particular character.

if you relate to Jax as a trans person, that's great. if you saw Catra and Adora, and felt seen as a lesbian or otherwise queer person, that's wonderful.

but that doesn't mean said shows or characters are perfect and can never be criticized. it is an unfortunate truth that we still don't have enough queer representation, so even crumbs of it feels like a big deal to people who have never seen their identities represented in media.

Steven Universe was the first queer show i watched and such, it has a special place in my heart. it taught me a lot of valuable lessons, and helped me feel more secure in my gender and sexuality.

but that doesn't mean i'm blind to its flaws. there were a lot of things it could have done better and i'm still mad at the way it ruined a lot of character's arcs. there's a reason why i haven't rewatched it ever since the first time, and it's because i know some of the writing decisions are gonna make me angry and upset.

does that mean J.K R*wling or her racist fantasy series shouldn't be criticized? are we queerphobic or racist for saying that Harry Potter had a lot of problematic elements? no.

I can go into depth about each of his four friends more, like how one represents fire and is an arrogant gossiper & greaser delinquent, spreading rumors like wild fire around school but being there for his friends and giving some good relationship advice, one represents water and is a laidback mischievous swimmer that often gets mistaken as dumb by others but is very wise , and the last one being earth and femme fatale that can be selfish and sometimes uses her looks to get what she needs while still kind to others especially to her sister and the voice of the reason when Hugo isn’t there.

I’m just happy to see you like my ideas a lot, and I can’t wait to share more in the future.

Ah that's a nice way to establish your characters personalities. I'll always love when stories use nature elements to differenciate the cast, like Atla and Ninjago.

If only people who annoy criticals followed their own advices when they see a negative opinion about their favorite media "This thing isn't for you / don't you have something better to do? / You obviously missed the point / Just move on already!"

The existence of someone who has problems with something you like or straight up hates it shouldn't stop you from enjoying said thing.

Maybe it's because I've been part of multiple critical communities for so long, but SOME fans really go out of their way to be hostile and toxic towards us. It's not just about desagreeing with what we say, they constantly insult our intelligence, try to infantalize us, dismiss others trauma, accuse real POC, women and people from the LGBTQ+ of being bigoted to defend fictional characters and let's not forget the casual racism, 🍇 and death threats.

One of the only shows utilizing fully 2D animation????? Huh ????????? What??????? Is this person stupid???? What about SpongeBob Fucking SquarePants, is that not 2D?????????

Unless they’re only talking about the indie scene in which…

THEYRE STILL WRONG??? HUH?????

Fully 2D shows have been around for fucking ever, what do you mean Vivzieslop is the only one doing it???????

in the ghibli movie Ocean Waves, there's a very similar flashback where the main character is reminiscing all his memories with the female lead, who is an absolute asshole btw and she had literally no scene where she was being nice, so it's just this ✨emotional montage✨ of all the times she was either degrading and yelling at him or manipulating him.

it's all a result of poor planning. i've said this before but you can make a show with just 9 or 10 episodes, and you can make it good. but you have to be mindful of how you do it.

if it's a fun episodic series, you have nothing to worry about. but if you want to create a show with lots of lore and worldbuilding and deep character stuff, you're gonna have to work accordingly.

and it's worse with an indie project because you have all the freedom to do whatever you want, and you still chose to waste your time on just one character? why would you set up all these interesting pieces and then not deliver on them?

I don’t think people would take you seriously though even if you did call it dark or edgy ?

I have literally never seen a show do this before. What was even the point? Why are we erasing history here? It can be normal for a pilot to be different from the actual series of a show. It’s called a pilot, not episode 1.

I’m just hella confused. It could just be Amazon demanded an updated one. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Viv secretly wanted to do it all along and just needed an excuse to.

Maybe it was just for fun idk

Regardless tho it still doesn’t change anything since episode 1 still followed off the pilot concept , the story still changed season 2 even if they rewrite the pilot
