Feste the clown

Shockingly decent advice from Bel this chapter. “Hey you guys need to stop pretending everything is good rn.” They both have been willfully ignoring things. We shall see whether this expands from the personal at all though. Also ahh it’s time challenge where Bel can still lose, but as long as they hold out until he finishes the spell then everyone wouldn’t have died.

Is Leah saying she looks like Beelzebub when she says “you look like someone I can’t stand?” Because of the wings? Glad Barbara and Leah are here… Marco is also there I guess. Scram.

Honestly I’d be pissed in Becu’s shoes too (Becu is also very specifically a witch who we saw burning religious texts regarding women. This is an issue close to her heart). Also interesting to note that Verge’s defense is entirely selfish. I don’t disagree w him in the sense of I want Dante back too lol but his motivation for working with the church is Dante. We know he was unsettled by the idea of causing a massacre when it came up in the Pride arc, but he was also willing to continue going down that path if it meant saving Dante. Kind of interesting when considering that the church, while they desire to save the world, also have the personal investment of returning to hegemonic power structures. No one here seems particularly concerned and primarily concerned, for example, in regards to the slaughtered women.
