You know, I do wonder if Erik during his duel with Henry repeatedly defines Istvan a "father figure" not because he thinks it but because that's the version he would have had to train himself to say during those days to save his reputation to the eyes of men like Von Aulitz and Von Bergow. Since that seemed to be the only type of relationship that would justify his hurt and anger to them and now that he's alone I guess he would have to work harder to maintain their respect

Plus Henry calls him Istvan's lover three seconds after and gets absolutely no rebuttal to that

Okay, maybe this is just cos Valentino is my favorite character (equally tied with the Vees in general, of course), but I honestly wonder about how he would die.

Mostly, it seems like he would die because the fandom demands it. He's terrible and abusive, and so, theoretically, he must die. But I dunno... something about all that doesn't fit well with me.

Okay, so let's talk about Valentino getting killed off. There's no way for him to be changed and redeemed and he's too horrid to be able to live, so he dies. Gets crushed and stamped out and we just move on to some arc where Angel has to reconcile that his abuser is dead (which is all cool) and what that means for him.

But the thing is, for some reason, I don't know if I see things happening that way given the way they've portrayed Valentino's relationship with the other Vees, especially Vox. There are actual brief shots where Valentino does seem to have an actual genuine affection for Vox without the same toxic abuse slipping in. The two are placed on this equal footing where they can both taunt each other, grab each other's cheeks and shake one another when they're angry and upset. Val merely flicks Vox's hand off when Vox grabs and roughly shakes him as opposed to a backhand that Angel gets for telling him to go fuck himself.

Then there's the question of both Val and Vox's antennas being broken in some way, how they seems to have a past together in this partnership. Valentino, as a character, seems to have more to do with other characters than simply being only Angel's abuser is all I'm saying from this. He is deeply connected with the big villain of S2 which is said to be Vox and the Vees as a whole.

So here's what I'm thinking.

I don't think Val can simply be killed off as "He's an abuser and therefore deserves it, and that's it."

For one thing, what about the porn industry Valentino controls? I don't think the awfulness of the sex abuse ends with simply Valentino, even if Angel were to be the righteous one to take over. Sure, it might be better, but there's still so many systemic issues there. That's just Hell in general.

Secondly, can Charlie and Angel kill him? Charlie stopped her father from killing Adam even after all he's done. Ever after Adam slaughtered so many of her people, she still stopped Lucifer and told him it was enough. Niffty just didn't get the memo. Could Angel face his abuser and kill him? I don't know. Their relationship is complicated and fucked up.

Thirdly, what about the whole thing of redemption? The thing about Hazbin Hotel is that part of it seeks to understand what redemption means. Who deserves it? Can anyone have it? Even the worst? The root of all evil? And the thing is, no, Val doesn't deserve redemption or the chance to change... But that's the thing... It's not about that. People can change if there is a chance offered. And of course, once that chance is offered and denied, it's fair game to kill Valentino off. But I still think it should be there.

Because that's what Hazbin Hotel is about. Redemption and what it means rather than who deserves. It's about changing a system for good.

And lastly, I'm not against Val dying. I just want it to be with purpose. If anything, if he dies (which he most likely will), I want it to not be entirely due to Angel, but Vox (and Velvette, though we haven't had as much interaction, he still clearly means something to her) too since those are the two character whose arcs he's most tied to.

I just think it's important to consider when we talk like "Yeah, lmao, Val is so gonna get killed off next season". Well... what if he doesn't? What is Val's purpose in the series?

Ok I need to know if anyone else thought this or if I completely misinterpreted these lines. So during Little Brother when Pony does his monologue, he says that “you could still smell the cigarettes he always smoked, Winstons”. And I first heard this and I kinda did a double take. Because we all know Dallas doesn’t really have a place he considers home, he constantly moves and I guess we kinda have to assume he doesn’t really have a family. But my questioning comes in is that, do we know is his legal name is actually Dallas Winston? Or does he call himself Dallas Winston (specifically Winston as his last name) because he likes that cigarette brand? Like has he attached the emotional value to that as a constant in his life, and therefore has chosen to call himself Dallas Winston?

I should revisit my research paper about the scripting of reality TV except add actual play to the mix

[thecelestialsyzygy]

Unpopular opinion: I think Peter Gabriel's version of Heroes should play during the byler kiss, not David Bowie's

Heard we're getting a Morella flashback in Episode 127

Thinking about what the time period for all the peeps are

The Victorian Age matches up with the Cowboy Period

The Spanish Flu was in the decade before the Flapper Era which was the decade before the Dustbowl

It seems most are pretty close together

(this is all based an US history, but I'm positive Pluto, Duke, and Morella died in England, France, and Northern Ireland respectively)

I think Morella is from the latest period, 1972 in particular

Lenore and Annabel are definitely from the earliest period

But the point of the post!

I think it was talked about a bit somewhere that Lenore and Annabel are from the Guilded Age, if not the Victorian Age

The Guilded Age was from 1865 - 1902

Now zoom in on the fact that it included the

Turn Of A Century

So my headcanon that I've had for a while

Is that Lenore and Annabel died just before the clock striked midnight on the new century

And that they were gonna get married on New Years Day

Then that made me think if all them students died at or around The Witching Hour

The period of time where the veil between life and death is the thinnest

Though I'm sure there were other reasons at play that marks someone for Nevermore
