my name is "syn". yes, that simple. preferably all lowercase. thanks.

I'm a British nerd-of-most-trades, living in London, England. I build things, I make things work, I keep them working, and I put them back together when they break.

I'm an engineer, lockpicker, intersectional feminist, attempted wordsmith, wish-granter, Rubyist, caffeine monster, CFS/ME and MS battler, and unapologetic pervert.

Not only is Beelzebub, the Sin of Gluttony, badass in the Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss universe, she's what you see when people take five minutes to think about it.

Gluttony. It would have been so easy for her to be grossly overweight, an ongoing joke, at the expense of fat people everywhere.

But that's not what they did.

They made Beelzebub be a muffin, but centre around excess and hedonism instead of obesity.

in which someone else feels the same way as me. especially those feelings of appropriation.

my friend, you are neither a girl nor a guy. there is a third option.

Totally missed it at the time, but Conrad's book from Wish World? That's Harry Potter.

So, Mrs. Flood is the Rani. Fine. Okay, I'm good with that. I like the Rani. The Rani is fun. But I really don't think she was intended as the Rani from the start.

The reason being that she is constantly breaking the fourth wall. A Time Lord, a Time Lady, shouldn't have the ability to do that. She would have to be some kind of extradimensional God - which we have dealt with in the story so far.

I think she was meant to be the God of Stories. A God who could know that Doctor Who was fiction, but that fiction would be just as real as anything else to her. And, crucially, this would allow her to break the fourth wall at a whim.

We covered the God of Stories in an (excellent) episode, we burned it, by then she was the Rani in Rusty’s plans. Fine. But I really don't think she was intended to be the Rani from the start.

Aesop rang, he’s got a dog in a manger and wants a word.

SPOCK NO

No. Eating. Fucking EATING.
