Sir Pentious backstory could have worked, but only if he didn't end up in Pride.

Thanks to the leaks we know that Pentious went to Hell after his death because he saw Jack the Ripper killing one of his victims and didn't report this to the police.

While I think this is a lame backstory, his silence could have caused Pentious to end up in Hell, but not in the ring of Pride. I don't see any correlation between his sin and the ring where he was sent. If anything, he should have been sent to a "special" place in Hell.

In the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri there's an Anti-inferno destinated to the Slothful, "those who during their lives have never acted either for good or for evil, without ever daring to have their own idea, but limiting themselves to always adapting to that of the strongest. Among them are also the angels who did not take sides in the battle that Lucifer lost against God" .

Pentious seems more fitting of this category of sinners, because he chosed to not pick a side in the capture of Jack the Ripper and mind his own business.

I found this post in the Spop critical tags and I'd like to give my two cents about it. As always DO NOT HARASS THE OP! And if they happen to find this post, they can consider this my reply (warning long post/tw teen sexualization)

What happened is that fans of the og She-ra didn't like the new character designs (can't totally blame them) and made rude comments about She-ra's look. How does that disprove the point made by criticals about the sexualization of teenagers from the Spop crew and Spop fandom?

The fans of the og She-ra didn't ask to make the characters teens and since they find the designs ugly, I don't think they're the ones who constantly sexualize them. The Spop fandom is to blame for this, and some of them are the same people who hate the og designs because they're considered too sexy. Completely ignoring that at least those characters are adults and it wasn't just the girls who had unpractical clothes. He-man, Hordak and Skeletor didn't wear pants, but I've yet to see anyone saying that's offensive.

(Side note but I hate when someone says og She-ra had massive boobs. Enough with the slut shaming already!)

We're just going to forget that Scorpia's uniform had a boob window and Perfuma was showing off her collarbone even back in season 1? Okay.

Look, the problem is not the outfits being revealing or not, it's the creepy way some fans talk about them, how they make hundreds of posts about Catra's boob window, her body and call her a milf. Not even in the first seasons, while the main cast was underage, they were safe from being sexualized.

Moving on. . .

No one in the critical community is mad at Spop for having teenagers questioning their sexualities. We're more worried about people calling homoerotic scenes where one character is being abused by another.

Romatize/Sexualize abuse =/= shipping fictional teenagers

I kinda agree with this part, but not completely. Sure, the story works well with a cast of teenagers, but I think it could have worked even if they were a bit older. It's not like people automatically get over their trauma when they turn 18. Catra, Adora and Glimmer would still have faced a war and dealt with a terrible childhood if they were in their early twenties.

I don't have a problem with Nate making the characters younger in the reboot. Maybe he did so because he thought young viewers would relate better to them or he wanted to explore trauma in teenage years, it doesn't matter. What matters is that we all agree it's not okay to treat a show for kids like an hentai.

I would be okay with Catra dating anybody else but Adora IF Catra wasn't such a jerk with everyone around her.

Did she have to be so hostile towards Lonnie all their lives just because one time Lonnie was too friendly with Adora?

Did she have to abuse Scorpia after they came back from the Crimson Waste?

Did she have to be so antagonistic towards Glimmer even after her mom went missing because of her choices?

While I don't hate Scorptra or Glitra, I can't see Catra dating neither of them. Maybe it's just me, but the "what they could have been" version of those ships is better than the canon version.

I don't watch Arcane, but why do I have the feeling that I will see a lot of Arcane/Spop related posts these days?

Especially posts about c//a? 😑

I think Stolas losing his status, all his powers and becoming a low class citizen of Hell would be a great opportunity for him to know what it feels to be like the imps he fatishizes/belittles.

It would be so satisfying to see Stolas being forced out of his comfort zone and follow the orders of his superior.

If I didn't hate him, I'd see this as an opportunity to see the errors of his way, grow and become a better person. But really, I just want to see him finally get some karma🍹

If that's how you interpret the episode that's totally fine 👍

I think the portal created a reality where the characters (exept for one) got to live an easier life, but not what they really wanted. Let me explain.

While Catra got everything she ever wanted, from Shadow Weaver's unconditional love to Adora being her friend again, for the others it wasn't the same.

Adora told Catra "As much as I wish that things could be easy the way they used to be, there's no going back" Adora's life in the Horde wasn't good, but at least back then she knew what she was doing, she didn't have the weight of the world on her shoulders and she didn't have to fight her best friend to almost death. But was returning to the Horde what Adora really wanted? I think not. I think what Adora really wanted was to be with Catra, Glimmer and Bow and enjoy her life without risking to lose it all for a heroic destiny.

Bow wanted his dads to be proud of him because he's a good son, but deep down what he wanted was the same things all teenagers want: for his patents to accept him for who he was, a great archer who loves to wear crop tops and spends his time with his princesses friends instead of studying history.

You forgot about Entrapta in your ask. In the fake reality Entrapta was back at Dryl, surrounded by her robots. That's what Entrapta wanted because it made her feel safe, because she knew those robots wouldn't have abbandoned her. But Entrapta actually wanted real friends she could trust, that's why she built robots that look like Hordak and Scorpia.

It's like in season 4, when Entrapta didn't want to leave Beast Island because she was tired of trying to understand friendship. It was easier for her to give up and staying in that place, even if it was killing her.

Glimmer seems to have a perfect life because she has both her parents, but the Horde is still a threat to their people. So. . . Maybe she thinks fighting the Horde would be easier if Micah and Angella were with her?

I really doubt that Scorpia's dream life is just her respecting people's personal space. I think that was another aspect of Catra's perfect reality. What Scorpia wanted was to be friends with Catra and live in the Crimson Waste with her, but since that's not what Catra wanted the portal just forced her back in the Horde.

Add that to the least of evidence that Catra knew all along things were not right.

This was the first scene where we see her being contious about the fake reality, but she still played dumb and tried to gaslight Adora into believing that everything was perfect and she was going crazy for doubting it.

Another thing that I hate about Helluva Boss? The way Millie, Moxxie and Loona behave in regards of Blitzø's deal with Stolas. They're either indifferent towards this or they think it's something cute.

They knew Blitzø was uncomfortable with Stolas' flirting during Loo Loo Land and there's a button in his office that allerts them when Stolas is there, yet Millie jokes about Stolas being Blitzø's boyfriend in Harvest Moon Festival, Moxxie told him that he could use the fact Stolas likes him to not get in troubles and Loona defended Stolas with Octavia in Seeing Stars.

Why are they so okay with the owl using his privilege to get sex from their boss? Do they think Blitzø owns it to them? I'm not saying they should spit in Stolas' face (even if he does deserve that) but they could at least thank Blitzø for what he did and show more emphaty.

"But Stolas is a prince and that's the way it goes in Hell!!! They're used to Goetia treating Imps so badly!!!"

That might be why Moxxie doesn't do anything, but Millie normally doesn't take shit from any demon, that's why she hit Fizzarolli right in front of Asmodeus. And Loona was ready to fight a DEADLY SIN!

Let's be realistic. The reason why they're okay with the deal is because everyone who stands in the Stolitz way gets treated like an evil a-hole or a cock-blocking sluth. Of course Blitzø's friends and his daughter cannot dislike Stolas or complain about what he does to Blitzø.

Now imagine if Stolas wanted to do a three-some with Blitzø and Moxxie. What would have him and Millie done then?

Hey, thank you for the ask but please don't send me fanarts that belong to others, not even screenshots of them. If you want to talk about an art you saw, describe it. I want to avoid "stealing" people's arts if they don't want them to be reposted or risk for the artist to be harrassed.

With that being said. . . It's a relief Catra didn't act like that. That's one of the only two c//a scenes in season 5 that I actually like. If Catra was written in the same way during the entirety of the last season, I would agree that she changed (still not enough to date her victim/sister).

Spop fans:

Also Spop fans:

Viv has a problem with repeating plots.

Seeing Stars is the ugly copy of Loo Loo Land, and Ghostfuckers is so similar to Unhappy campers that it almost feels like the same episode but with Blitzø instead of Moxxie.

I don't know what happens in episode 2 of season 2 because I've been trying to stay away from major spoilers. If it's something that involves SA then I'm not surprised. You can clearly tell someone with a SA kink is involved in the creation of these shows.

If it's about suicide, it won't be any better. I'm sure Viv cut out Millie's suicide attempt only because it was leaked, and not because she cares about this topic. I feel bad for the animators and the people who worked hard to make season 2 of HH, but I don't feel anything for Viv. She doesn't even remember how to draw Angel Dust anymore because she knows she has employees who do the work for her while she wastes money, travels and spends time with her "celebrity friends" .

HAZBIN HOTEL SEASON 2 SPOILERS!

Sir Pentious ended up in Hell because he didn't tell the police who was Jack the Ripper?

Really, b*tch? 😑

It's almost like Vivziepop was too scared to give Pentious a REAL reason to end up in Hell, because in that case she'd have to explain her audience how someone who actually did horrible things was rewarded with Heaven after 8 episodes.

But why bother writing a good redemption arc when you can just make all your characters victims of the sistem?

Can't wait for when she'll finally touch on Angel Dust's backstory and we'll hear what justifies being a mobster.

No because they really think if Adora allowed Catra to go with her to find the sword, she'd have switched sides in the first episode??? 😭

May I remind y'all that Adora had no idea she'd have been captured by Glimmer and Bow? It's not like Adora can see the future and knew she was going to become She-ra, meet a princess and attend a party for the first time in her life. Adora WAS trying to keep Catra out of trouble. Everything Catra did was a reason for Shadow Weaver to abuse her, so if she found out that Catra was with Adora when she left the Fright Zone, that woman would have blamed it on Catra.

But let's say that Adora asked Catra to go with her. What difference would have that made? Do they think that seeing the village before it got attacked would have convinced Catra to become a rebel? She knew all along the Horde was evil and she didn't care about hurting innocent people! Catra wanted to rule over the world with Adora and seeing her simphatize with their enemies and enjoy Glimmer and Bow's company would have made her furious.

It's always "Adora shouldn't/should have done this!" It's never "If Catra wanted to go with Adora, she would have done that in this scene".
