i hold the INCREDIBLY strong opinion that hellfire is the best disney villain theme song. the orchestra, the composition, the animation sequence.... the LYRICS?? all of it is so fucking haunting. the hunchback of notre dame was kind of outside of the scope of things disney makes and it was sort of a gamble on whether or not audiences would react well to it. it paid off with story and animation nerds, but actually fell relatively "flat" for a disney film with general audiences.

hunchback didn't have any of the magic that is characteristic of disney movies. there were no spells or witches or magic solutions to problems, save for the gargoyles. it's a film about natural born evil and human reactions to those problems. it's very heavy handed talking about cultural problems that disney films rarely ever touch on so directly, as well as a critique of catholic hypocrisy present in the church. which is arguably... not disney.

hellfire, as a villain song, is so poignant and so outside of the scope of what disney usually creates. it's definitely one of the darkest disney songs, dealing with the concept of sexual desire in conflict with oppressive and hypocritical religious morals. in the movie, frollo is a judge instead of the archdeacon of the church (like he is in the book), though i think it's pretty clear to the audience that frollo is meant to be a religious authoritative figure regardless of his actual title.

the song builds this horrifying sense of dread and entitlement, particularly surrounding frollo's desire to own esmeralda, as well as the deadly blame he places on her for his own sexual desire. it's a song that shifts the fault for his own feelings onto a woman who is already part of an oppressed demographic and one whose narrative renders her powerless in the face of frollo's desired punishment. he's a "pure" character, but his claims to purity are grounded purely in his superiority over others, specifically the cultural group that esmeralda descends from.

it's a desperate rationalization of his feelings and a miserable display of his relinquishment of responsibility in the situation. a prayer sent from a hypocritical man to his hypocritical god. and in his desperation to absolve himself of his sins, he falls deeper into his own.

the chorus in the background chants the confiteor, which is a gregorian confession of sins, but paired with frollo's message, it's not quite a confession of frollo's sins. rather, the implication is that frollo is confessing what he views to be esmeralda's sins, which in turn are having an affect on his own. he absolves himself of guilt by confessing them, but in turn does nothing to actually seek the root of the problem, which is his own objectification of esmeralda and the dehumanization of the cultural group that she's a part of.

the gregorian chant also condemns frollo, showing the audience that despite his backwards confession, he will continue to sin. he confesses to them, but the chorus and the "eyes of notre dame" will damn him anyway because he fails to take responsibility for his own actions.

truthfully, the whole song is a chilling display of the hypocrisy of the church, as well as one of the hypocrisy of man in regards to their views of women. and it's complimented by the music and the swelling orchestra, which highlight claude frollo's anguish and violent internal struggle.

the animation is dark as well, particularly with the way the chorus or "saints" judge frollo as he tries to justify his own feelings, pleading for his eternal soul from his predestined position of "condemned", all the while condemning esmeralda. then, we have the sequence of her dancing in the flames, in which it's revealed that frollo not only hates esmeralda, but desires her sexually and hates her because of it, and that the root of this problem can be found in frollo's sexual desire and not his religious disagreement. the entire tone of the song shifts when frollo says "or else let her be mine and mine alone" and it becomes a chilling representation of claude frollo's misguided blame for his sexual desire. it becomes a song of subjugation rather than religious conflict because the moral is no longer "what she does is impure and a sin" and transforms into "what she does is a sin only if she does it for anyone but me".

in this, frollo reveals his desire to consume esmeralda and take her, as an object, for his own. finally, the animation of her in the flame moving from dance to burning on a pyre is a direct representation of what frollo intends to do with her should she not choose to be with him. it's a violent threat rooted in sexuality and misogyny. frollo does not love esmeralda, but lusts after her, and is willing to kill her in order to avoid the shame in rejection and taking responsibility for his own sins.

anyway yeah, i feel very strongly about this song and i feel very strongly about the overall message it delivers. as far as villain songs go, it is one of the most desperate and miserable displays of true villainy and the absence of magic only serves to make it more haunting. people like this exist. they have for centuries. even with no magic to corrupt or make them greedy, frollo continues to become greedy and drunk with power. and yeah. it's good. i feel strongly.

I love Makoto Yuki. I've bought merch of him, drew fanarts of him and wrote fanfic episodes centered on him. When PQ was revealed and released without FEMC, I was okay with it- heck, I loved every moment. When PQ2 was revealed to have FEMC, I was ecstatic- though I admit, I would have bought it even if she wasn't in it. ...But I've already played P3P more than 5 times already. I also have an unfinished FES playthrough. I've watched the Persona 3 Movie trilogy more than once. Heck, I've seen the stageplay. I've experienced P3 so many times already that it's hard to justify buying it again with most content I've already experienced, only with improved visuals. I could have justified buying it if it had FEMC who has never had a version where you get to play as her in the overworld, or had animated cutscenes (even if they're just 3D models). The biggest complaint people give about P3P is its VN format- and a remake could have fixed that. Anyway... I guess it's nice for the game to be more accessible to more people. At least it could draw in more P3 fans. And for P3 fans going back to play, good for them too. Maybe in a few years when they finally release a complete definitive version with The Answer and FEMC... or maybe if they decide to say sike and FEMC is a DLC all along, then I'll get the game, and I say this as someone who has been obssessively supporting the series over the past few years. But for now, I'd rather have P6. ...On another note, there have been rumors of a P1-P5 crossover game with all the MCs sooo... HMMMM....

Idk guys, I just keep reading and watching, these days on simblr with those new rules are pretty hot recently, as I see and some people need to really calm down, it’s not the end of everything, why is it so hard to understand that you can still make your stuff and people will still donate to you from time to time, because they supported you before and will now. Anyway... I’m just happy that making cc is my hobby. End of story loves.

My theories on what Halo could do to phyrexians: its debilitating! And it goes foosh in a big plume of rainbow flame when it mixes with the oil and they can forge it into really strong weapons and!!!!

What Halo can actually do to phyrexians: cough cough oh noooo I need to infect you ten minutes slower now... what will I ever do? Oooh it stings~

Seriously wtf was Urabrask researching? Maybe I'm jumping the gun since there's a whole lot more story to come but genuinely am I missing something? Halo seems to be a bit of a let down.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but there has been absolutely no direct by name mention of Luxior so far. Tf happened to our magical elixir

hc: gojo + one night stands

gojo is the type of person that isn't above having one night stands, in fact he enjoys having them when his mood strikes. he usually seeks that out when he's in a mood and the need for a different type of stimuli. he usually is not above lounging about at a bar or finding out some random singles mixer to join in. his good looks are what usually causes women or men to swarm him. be warned, he usually does give his one night stands a warning: it's a one time thing and if you catch feelings that's on you. he's more prone to having these sorts of interactions with people outside of the jujutsu world, less chance of him running into them and them trying to reach out to him. he's just not the type of person to commit to anyone especially after everything. if you do try to pursue him outside of the one time interaction, good luck. but he will always make sure that you have the time of your night.
