Me, two months ago: woah - so Sir Pentious went to Hell cuz he had self-preservation skills and didn't snitch? A lot of us would be going to Hell in VivziePop's Hellaverse π
Me, this morning: So... if a sinner's appearance is determined by how they lived and how they died, and Angeldust is a spider because he was a part of a crime web, then how in the actual FUCK is his sister Molly in Heaven while looking like THIS:
Like, from what I know, crime webs usually aren't very, uhh... "nice"... ... and Molly here is the statistical error causing the average number of legs per winners in Heaven to rise XD So, I'm making two assumptions here: - That Winner appearances in Heaven follow the same rules as sinner appearance in Hell, -And that a human soul's appearance is awarded based on said soul's cognizance of their own sin. Under these two assumptions, Molly's shared "pink crime web spider aesthetic" with her brother implies that Molly was fully aware of her involvement in said same crime web while she was alive... Right now, I can only think of three possible ways Molly is still in Heaven: -she was either locked in a basement doing manual labor with limited contact to the outside world, -she was developmentally delayed, OR ... -SHE was the one who went to the police (or at least attempted to) - which would make this one heck of a lore drop in plain sight. ----
So like, at the risk of getting too "real world" about this, Angeldust's tommy gun and voice cadence sorta kinda imply that his "crime web" was in, or adjacent to, the Italian mob. I think one of their rules-rules is "we don't snitch to the feds"? I dunno, that's just what I heard somewhere... Angel's associations also imply that he was possibly Catholic?
From what I've heard, depending on the region Catholics have a very different relationship with their faith from say, Protestants. For some, Catholicism, in practice, is more of cultural tradition that is performed, rather than a body of doctrine to be followed and met per-se ... if that makes sense? In other words, Molly and Angel shouldn't even be weighed on the same moral scales as a Protestants/secular humans. The siblings were operating under a entirely different religion/pantheon/paradigm while on earth. That would be like sentencing a protestant to be reincarnated as a dog because according to Hinduism, he ate a burger or some shiz, I dunno. I mean, I'd assume that killing a parent is a no-no in every faith except in very severe circumstances. But then again, Angel might have been under just such circumstances and "deal with your own shit and kill pops" was the morally superiors option - for him - over "go to the cops". But what do I know? What do I know about life, religion and the intricacies of a species with so, so many moral codes? I overthink fictional worldbuilding. Goodbye - enjoy the rest of your day.
