May I request a platonic yandere Hazbin/Helluva AU where Reader is a Deadly Sin, an eight one called Vainglory? Maybe they're super competitive, always wanting to be the best, a bit jealous... but also strives to let others prove themselves, to have a chance at their own glory and future, who is known for inventiveness and creativity, maybe running the art and fashion scene of Hell?
(Some animals/plants in mind for their form include: peacock, lion, dragon, fox, octopus, venus flytrap, pitcher plant, sundew, etc. )
I love this idea so much! Since this is a cross over I made a seperate masterlist for these kinds of ideas.
Vainglory, according to the Bible, is the excessive or empty pride in one's accomplishments, qualities, or appearance, driven by a desire for human praise and recognition rather than God's glory. This means that a vainglorious person has a desire for the praise of others, like a mix of vanity, envy and pride which is why vainglory is seen as the gateway drug of sin.
Anyway, moving on from that. You're place as a sin is a bit complicated. Because for the longest time vainglory was seen as a minor sin that would evolve into larger sins (pride, lust, envy, greed, etc) you didn't have a seat among the seven deadly sins when Hell was being formed.
Then, one day, about in the middle of Hell's first few centuries of existence, Lucifer called a meeting of the sins because he found a large bush of hydrangeas and morning glorys formed in a nest like shape with an object in the center. It turned out to be a large violet egg with golden swirls and darker purple freckles. The sins all watched the egg in confusion, then it shook, cracked, and out hatched you, a demonic yet adorable peacock chick, the avatar of vainglory. You were fully grown, but still the youngest of the sins.
So, now as Hell stands you're ring is hanging out somewhere between Envy and Greed. The art and fashion scenes of Hell bend to your whim, if you say animal prints are out and sequins are in then designers scramble to gain your favor. If landscapes are your favorite thing to paint this week, everyone tries to catch up. This is how it's been since you hatched.
However, you're not a complete ass. Sure, you seek praise and are competitive but because of that the concept of a caste system doesn't really exist in your space. Be it imp, hellhohound or any other demon of Hell you let each and every one have a shot at their own glory and if they fall miserably well then that's not your fault. However, while all this is happening you're unaware just how much your fellow sins love you.

What you did not expect was to fall through a glowing hole in the ground and land directly on top of a tiny red man who swears like a sailor with a head injury.
He’s loud. He’s kinda pointy. He’s offended you crushed him.
You’re a little offended he thinks your “a clumsy fucker with tits.”
Congratulations. You’re in Hell. The Ø is silent.
Apparently the glowing holes just spit you out like you’re a defective product, and the tiny red rage-gremlin decides this is your problem but it's also somehow his problem too, so he drags his “friend" into this mess too, he doesnt excatly call him a friend. You’re pretty sure it’s his situationship ?
Enter: A stupidly-tall owl man in a bathrobe who talks like a Victorian ghost trying to seduce a houseplant. He calls you what you think passes for a pet name within thirty seconds and you’re 90% sure he’s flirting with both you and the angry red guy.
Neither of them can explain why you’re stuck…
Until Owl Daddy Deluxe finds a dusty book.

Disclaimer: I’m sure this has been discussed at length when this episode dropped BUT I only got into the show in the last year and it took me a minute to decide to start blogging about it so I am admittedly late to the part. If you’re sick of Mastermind discourse I understand, keep on a scrolling.
Okay, now that I got that out of the way;
One thing I always come back to is the face Blitzø is making in Mastermind, when they’re both in their respective soliloquies and can’t hear each other. We’ve seen Blitzo’s eyes glow multiple times through the series, usually in heightened emotions with Stolas. We’ve seen him in every emotional state possible until this one.
But we’ve never seen him….stunned like this.
This always breaks my heart every time I watch it whether it’s in context on a re-watch or just through scrolling and seeing a repost because we have someone who has spent a good amount of this show protecting the people around him-while telling himself he didn’t deserve them, and often making real attempts to push them away-being protected by someone who he’s probably hurt more than anyone in his adult life and putting his actual life on the line….for him.
And mind you, this was just moments after he took all the blame and begged for M&M and Loona to be spared, and told people he loved them for what I believe was the first time on the show (someone correct me if I’m wrong). Blitzø protected his people up until what he thought was the end.
We know Blitzø had a terrible father and the last time he needed that sort of protection and love (the fire obviously) he didn’t get it. He got cast away from everyone he loved and had to rebuild his life from scratch as a teenager who truly had nobody. The one person who would’ve protected him, was killed in a tragic accident that he caused. No matter what, he’s carried that on his back this long, and so far in the show he’s told no one who could’ve urged him to start forgiving himself. Fizz knows the truth now, but it’s still way too early on in their rekindled friendship to face that conversation yet. That one will have to start with Stolas or Millie (I hope it’s Millie, if anyone’s gonna show up at Cash Buckzo’s whereabouts and beat him into pulp it’s my girl Mildred)
All this to say, it’s a weirdly beautiful moment seeing all the guilt he’s carried for the last 2 seasons (and 15 years prior) melt from his eyes for just a moment, even if he can’t comprehend why Stolas is doing what he’s doing, someone is showing him in the most undeniable way possible what he’s spent the last 15 years telling himself is not true
He is worthy of love, protection and safety. He is worthy.
