Reblogging so I can come back to this as a character study.
Charlie and Vaggie: Anima and Animus
Tumblr media
There's something that I've been dying to say More than anything, more than anything Need you to know I love you more than anything More than anything
Charlie and Vaggie have intertwined and complementary arcs, which are beautifully explored through the jungian archetypes of anima and animus.
WHAT ARE ANIMA AND ANIMUS?
According to Carl Jung, the anima and animus are parts of the human mind. In particular, the anima is the feminine and the animus is the masculine. Everyone has naturally both, but society promotes specific gender values and drives people to repress traits culturally associated with the opposite gender. So, to fully be complete, a person should integrate the negated part. In stories, this usually happens through a meaningful romantic relationship.
Charlie and Vaggie are two women, but they still exhibit opposite gender traits:
Charlie is a princess, who sings her heart out at every chance. She is focused on words, ideals, feelings and she strongly believes in love. All traditionally feminine traits.
Vaggie is a soldier, who shows pride in her fighting abilities. She is focused on actions, pragmatism, battles and she strongly believes in strength. All traditionally masculine traits.
And yet, things are not so simple. Let's consider Charlie and Vaggie's designs for example:
Tumblr media
Charlie usually wears masculine clothes, as she prefers androgynus suits. Not only that, but her name means "free man" and she goes with the gender neutral "Charlie", rather than her given name "Charlotte":
Valentino: YEAH! That BITCH Chuckie or Chandler, or I dunno- Something mannish like that.
Tumblr media
Vaggie usually wears feminine clothes, as she sports a short skirt and loose long hair. Even her name is linked to femininity, as it literally means "vagina":
Angel Dust: You're doing great, Vagina.
Even when it comes to Chaggie's The Nightmare Before Christmas's allusion...
Tumblr media
Charlie references Jack Skellington, as she is the Princess of Hell and a passionate dreamer
Vaggie references Sally, as she is a run-away and Charlie's level-headed helper
So, Charlie seems superficially more feminine and Vaggie appears more masculine, but their looks and inspirations suggest otherwise. Why?
In truth, even if Charlie is a singing disney-like princess and Vaggie is a badass super-soldier, they don't perfectly fit the typical anima and animus characterization. This is true for their appearances and on a deeper level. Specifically:
Charlie is linked to the anima (feminine), but she is active (masculine) and stronger than Vaggie. Finally, even if she is passionate about feelings, she is often insensitive. For example, she doesn't notice her loved ones' struggles, like Angel's pain and Vaggie's insecurities.
Vaggie is linked to the animus (masculine), but she is reactive (feminine) and very sensitive deep down. Moreover, she is weaker than Charlie in terms of raw power, so her obsession with protecting the princess is misplaced.
Charlie is an anima character with a strong repressed animus and Vaggie is an animus character with a strong repressed anima. They have to integrate with each other to become whole. Still, what should they learn from their partner?
LOVE AND HATE
Charlie and Vaggie have the same problem declined in opposite ways:
Husk: Princess, is a bleeding heart who wants to solve everybody else's problems 'cept her own.
Husk about Vaggie: This one judges everyone and everything because she hates herself.
Charlie wants to fix everyone in an unconscious attempt to fix herself. She loves everyone because she herself wants to be loved.
Vaggie is cold and closed off out of guilt and self-hate. She is suspicious of everyone because she can't really forgive herself.
Both girls have low self-esteem, but Charlie tries to compensate with love, whereas Vaggie tries to defend with hate. These different coping mechanisms stem from their upbringings.
Charlie is the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith, who love her deeply, but are also distant and neglectful. As a result, she admires them, but feels unworthy of their attentions and legacy:
Lute: The only reason you're still here is because daddy gave you and your hellborn kind a pardon from an exorcist blade. How does that feel, to know how little you matter?
She is stuck being the lovable, but useless princess.
Vaggie is brought up in Adam's army, which is an abusive environment, where hate is seen as strength. Vaggie has a place in the world because she kills and is good at it:
Adam: You were on the front lines, I wouldn't forget a bad bitch like you. It's why I named you after the best thing ever. Vaggie. Anyway, you sure fucked up, didn't you?
She is stuck being the ruthless and remorseless soldier.
The path ahead for both girls lies in discovering they are more than just the princess and the soldier. In particular:
Charlie must accept she herself is capable of feeling negative emotions, like pain and anger. She can be aggressive and this doesn't make her mean. It makes her healthy.
Vaggie: Well, I mean… You're the princess of Hell. You don't really use the power that comes with that, which I love about you, but maybe you can… I don't know, command a little more… Authority? Charlie: But that's so mean. Vaggie: It's not mean, exactly. It's… uh, aggressive kindness.
Vaggie must learn to open up to others. She must show vulnerability and express her positive feelings more. She has a merciful and sensitive side, which doesn't make her weak. It makes her strong.
Tumblr media
Chaggie have the potential to help each other bloom. Vaggie is the first person to tell Charlie she should be more self-assured in her role of Princess of Hell. Charlie is the first person, who takes care of Vaggie as she is hurt and unable to defend herself. Charlie can teach Vaggie to embrace her inner maiden (love, mercy). Vaggie can show Charlie how to be a real warrior (aggressivity, strength). At the same time, their opposite mentalities lead to some problems in their relationship.
TRUST FALLS (APART)
Charlie: I trust everyone, so maybe you know better on how to build it properly!
Angel Dust to Vaggie: To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men? Men?
Charlie trusts everyone, whereas Vaggie trusts no-one. So, none of them really knows how to trust properly. This becomes obvious in the episode Scramble Eggs, where:
Charlie trusts Vaggie so much she doesn't realize she is putting a lot of pressure on her partner:
Charlie: Oh, come on. It'll be easy! I'm sure you can handle this. Vaggie: Yeah, um, Sure, I can handle this. No problem.
Vaggie trusts Charlie so little she isn't able to confide nor lean on her partner:
Charlie: It's no big deal, Vaggie. You know, maybe I can just help, uh- Vaggie: No. I told you you could trust me, and I'm not going to let you down.
Charlie acts like the damsel and lets Vaggie handle the whole situation. Vaggie plays the knight and refuses to share the burden with Charlie:
So I, I'll be your armor Do whatever it takes, I'll make the mistakes I'll spend my life being your partner
The song Whatever It Takes plays the princess/knight motif straight. Vaggie sees herself as worthy of Charlie only if she can be her knight in shining armor. This may seem sweet, but there is something to be said about Vaggie echoing Carmilla, a mother who is singing to her daughters:
So I, I'll be your keeper Do whatever it takes, I'll make the mistakes I'll keep you safe and keep this secret
It makes sense for a parent to shoulder the burden for their kids' sake. However, a person wanting to do the same for their lover is unhealthy. Especially, when the secret of a balanced relationship is established early on:
Charlie: From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith, equals as the first of Mankind.
The two partners must be equals, but Vaggie sees herself as inferior to Charlie and tries to over-compensate. In this way, though, she takes away Charlie's agency. Charlie instead knows something is off deep down. However, she does not address the matter because she would need to go deeper into herself, her feelings and her relationships. And Charlie wants to avoid it at all costs.
Chaggie's communication issues are conveyed meta-narratively in Charlie and Vaggie's individual songs:
-Charlie's Happy Day in Hell has our princess sing so loud that she almost covers Vaggie's warning:
Charlie: If I can show them the dream I've dreamed That any soul can change! Vaggie: Those angels' minds are hard to change Charlie: Then they will know everyone can be redeemed From the evil to the strange! Vaggie: They're bloodthirsty and deranged!
She doesn't listen to Vaggie.
-Vaggie's Whatever It Takes is sung by our knight to her princess, but Vaggie has Charlie leave before the beginning:
Charlie: Vaggie, don't say that! You do so much! It's- Vaggie: I'm sorry. I'd… I'd like to be alone for a minute.
She doesn't talk to Charlie.
Eventually the couple's trust exercise is solved positively:
Charlie: No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put pressure on you. We work as a team. I guess I just thought all this would be easier, but, we'll figure it out, together. I mean, look what your exercise did for them.
Charlie goes out of her way to talk with Vaggie and Vaggie's team-building works. Charlie puts both her and Vaggie's feelings into words, whereas Vaggie builds trust through her actions.
Despite this, Chaggie don't really address their problems, which come back stronger:
Tumblr media
Adam: Don't you act all high and mighty Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar? Vaggie: Don't, Adam, please! Adam: What's the fuss? Why hide the fact that you're an angel just like us?
Charlie has been ignoring Vaggie's dark side, so she is devastated when it comes out. Vaggie instead has been hiding the truth from Charlie, so it is revealed in the worst way possible. After this, there is an inversion in Charlie and Vaggie's dynamic:
Vaggie: Charlie, can we talk about this-- Charlie: We can talk later. Right now, we have a job to do. You with us?
Vaggie is the one looking for a conversation, whereas Charlie pushes her girlfriend away. Before they can reconcile, the two girls need to go through individual trips and to find the guidance of two mentors.
Tumblr media
A singer
Tumblr media
A dancer
SINGING AND DANCING
Rosie and Carmilla are mature versions of Charlie and Vaggie:
Rosie is the Ruler of Cannibal Town, one of the nicest place in Hell. She is good-natured, but respected by her people. Moreover, she runs an Emporium, where she helps her clients with their personal problems. This is pretty much what Charlie would like to do with the Hazbin Hotel. Rosie is also a singer and is inspired by Dolly, from the musical "Hello, Dolly!"
Carmilla is Hell's top weapon dealer, so she specializes in war and is herself an exceptional fighter. However, she is not ruthless and mostly fights to protect her loved ones. She is the kind of person a more balanced and self-assured Vaggie might become. Carmilla is also designed as a ballerina and her two daughters are called after protagonists of famous ballets.
Why do Charlie and Vaggie's adult selves have a singing and dancing motif? That's because Charlie and Vaggie are respectively a singer and a dancer.
Charlie is a singer:
Charlie: My name is Charlie, I like to sing! And when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing!
She always conveys her feelings through songs, like her many attempts to pitch her hotel (to the Sinners, to Adam, to the Cannibals). What is more:
Charlie: But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and songs.
Charlie wants to become like Lilith and to empower people with her voice. Her objective is to grow into an inspiring leader, who changes minds and touches hearts with words.
Vaggie is a dancer:
Tumblr media
The problem is that she has yet to realize it. Vaggie struggles with self-expression, which is why she has very few songs in the first season. That said, she shows her devotion through actions, like her determination to fight for Charlie. What she needs to learn is a new fighting style rooted in love. That is dancing, a way to express one-self through the body. This is made clear by the two cut episodes Challenge Day and The Baphomet Ball:
Tumblr media
This cut plotline had Vaggie fight proto-Carmilla and lose. Charlie would later cheer her up by inviting her to a Ball. There proto-Carmilla would be impressed by Vaggie's dancing skills. The basic idea is obvious. Vaggie is a fighter, who must evolve into a dancer.
So, once again Chaggie is complementary:
Charlie is linked to singing, words and "soul", as she herself is the Heart of the Hazbin Hotel.
Vaggie is linked to dancing, actions and "body", as she herself is the Arm of the Hazbin Hotel.
As a result, they are given opposite missions to save the hotel:
Charlie must convince the Cannibals to join her army (singing). She must find people, who will help them fight.
Vaggie must discover from Carmilla how to fight the exorcists. This means both learning her fighting style (dancing) and obtaining the angelic weapons.
And yet, to succeed in their respective areas of expertise both Charlie and Vaggie must step into the other's shoes.
Charlie learns to better understand Vaggie and by doing so she realizes the importance of actions:
Rosie: If there's anything I've learned, it's that words are cheap, but actions, they speak the truth. So, what have her actions said? Charlie: That she believes in me, and what we're doing.
Not only that, but she is forced to take a look inside and starts unpacking some of her negative emotions:
Charlie: My girlfriend is an Exorcist angel, and she never told me Rosie: Oh, shit! Quite a secret. How does that make you feel? Charlie: Just, angry, because we share everything, because she always supported me, and my ideas, and-and- and now, I don't know whether or not that was just more of the lies! Oh no that's a horrible thing to think! Do i think that?! Yes! N-no. Kinda?
As a result, she comes up with a song that combines her natural showmanship and charisma with a new resolution to act:
Charlie: For the first time in my life I might have to be ready for this Ready to be the one who's leading from the front Gotta come into my own Gotta come into my throne Gotta take charge and defend my only home And although I kinda feel unsteady Now I need to be ready for this
Charlie steps into the role of leader and is ready to take action:
All: For the first time in our lives We know that we are ready for this Rosie: We'll show Heaven a fight they won't forget! All: It's time to take a stand Charlie: It is time to lend a hand! (Cannibals: Huzzah!) Against the angels and their deadly threat! All: We cannot take it anymore The time has come to go to war Prepare to fight, we're ready for… THIS!
Vaggie inspires the residents of the Hotel to stay and convinces Carmilla to help. By doing so, she shows how much she has grown thanks to her time with Charlie:
Vaggie: What's important now is that we're going to have a fight on our hands. Look, this hotel is about to become the most dangerous place in hell, and we….I, can't guarantee your safety anymore. I still believe in Charlie's dream. I know this place can work. But none of you signed up for this. I'm gonna go learn how we can fight back, and when I come home….Well I'll understand if none of you are here.
Moreover, she learns to fight in a new way intertwined with music (Charlie's passion and world):
Tumblr media
This fighting style is focused on defense and survival, rather than attack and killing:
Carmilla: Angels attack quickly, viciously, and without mercy. You'll need to defend better than that.
Carmilla: Well, look at that. You might just survive this.
It is based on love:
Carmilla: I see you're driven by your detestation Your every step is stoked with animus You need a different type of motivation Or there's no way that you can handle this I know you're thirstin' for vengeance, Vaggie You're out for blood But you'll only stand a chance if you're out for love
By the end, Charlie and Vaggie meet each other in front of the Hazbin Hotel. Charlie leads the people (soul) and Vaggie has the weapons (body). They have also grown enough to better understand each other. Charlie empathizes with Vaggie and forgives her lie. Vaggie realizes how much Charlie cares for her and is ready to value herself more:
Tumblr media
At the same time, Charlie faces some of her repressed "aggressivity" and makes an important step as Princess of Hell:
Tumblr media
Rosie and Alastor: She's bound to pass the test as Princess of Hell Like her Daddy, she is madly power-fell!
Vaggie instead learns some "self-love" and makes progress into becoming a true angel:
Tumblr media
Carmilla: You're gonna fight without gloves And when that push comes to shove Yeah, you just might rise above Long as you're out for love
These changes are fully embraced and tested in the final battle.
FINALE: DEVIL AND ANGEL
Tumblr media
The fight against the Exorcists is where Charlie and Vaggie's integration is on full display, starting with their designs:
Charlie wears a mini-dress with a heart decoration and wields a shield.
Vaggie fully covers her body with an androgynous and practical attire. She fights with her signature spear.
The usually masculine looking Charlie appears feminine. The usually feminine appearing Vaggie looks masculine. Their outfits also fit their respective fighting styles. Charlie is defensive, whereas Vaggie is aggressive. Wait... isn't something wrong? Shouldn't Charlie grow more aggressive and Vaggie more defensive? Yes and this is precisely what happens as the battle progresses...
Tumblr media
Charlie is overwhelmed by her anger and grief over Sir Pentious's death and unlocks her full demonic form. She goes from defense (shield) to offense (pitchfork) and injures Adam. Finally, she transforms her arm into a claw and stops the First Man in his tracks.
Tumblr media
Vaggie is attacked by Lute, loses her spear and is forced on the defensive. She protects herself from Lute's relentless assault until she reveals her angelic wings and traps her opponent. Eventually, she has pity of Lute and lets her live.
Charlie's climatic moment is a show of strength, whereas Vaggie's is a show of mercy.
In other words:
Charlie appears more feminine, but acts more masculine
Vaggie appears more masculine, but acts more feminine
In comparison to their usual dynamic, Chaggie go through a complete inversion. This development is conveyed also by a small detail: their hair. Charlie lets hers loose, while Vaggie ties hers.
Tumblr media
Charlie's hair usually covers her horns and is tied because she represses her demonic side. The moment she gives in to her inner demon, the horns come out and the hair gets loose, just like her feelings are untamed.
Vaggie: I'm not used to fighting with long hair.
Vaggie's hair is an attempt to hide her past and vulnerability. She has it grow after her abandonement to mask her scars (her eye and missing wings). In the finale, she ties it to fight freely. In this way, her brand new angelic wings can come out in all their beauty.
So, Charlie embraces her demon side, while Vaggie has her inner angel emerge. The twist is that Charlie the demon teaches Vaggie how to be a proper angel. Vaggie the angel instead shows Charlie that there is value in demonic traits. They integrate with each other to become the best versions of themselves. This shows also before and after the fight.
In the Finale, Charlie expresses all her self-loathing:
Charlie: He did it for us, the ultimate sacrifice He gave me his trust, and look how we paid the price This bloodshed could have been avoided If I convinced Heaven to work together I took a hotel and I destroyed it I know I could have done better Better, instead of letting you down
Thanks to this, her loved ones come to her side and support her. What is more, she starts to back up her words with actions:
Katie Killjoy: Charlie Morningstar managed to fend off the angelic attack with more than just nice words.
In More Than Anything Reprise, Vaggie conveys her love to Charlie through words and is there for her in a moment of self-doubt and weakness:
Vaggie: You've already done so much So many lives you've changed So many souls you've touched And in the end, if it's only me you've saved
She shows her sweetness and sensitivity.
By the end of season 1, Chaggie are together and stronger than ever. They have made the first steps into integration and tapped into their respective potentials. Both as individuals and as saviors of the universe.
THE MYTH OF EDEN
Charlie: Drawn in by Lilith's fierce independence, Lucifer found her, and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love.
The series starts with a retelling of the myth of Eden, which is set-up as the heart of the series:
Plot-wise all the characters are living with its consequences
Theme-wise it shows the birth of love between the first man and the first woman...
The twist is that the first couple isn't Adam and Eve, but Lucifer and Lilith:
Tumblr media
Who are foils to Charlie and Vaggie:
Both couples have a demon and an angel, who fall in love against the odds.
Both Charlie and Vaggie foil Lucifer in different ways. Like her father, Charlie is a wide-eyed idealist, who doesn't fit in her kingdom and wants to change it. Like the devil, Vaggie is a fallen angel, who is let down by heaven and finds love in hell.
Both Charlie and Vaggie are set-up to foil Lilith. Charlie is a demon full of love, who wants to empower others with her voice. Just like her mom. Vaggie is an angel hidden in hell, who keeps secrets out of a misplaced wish to protect others. Lilith is a demon hidden in heaven... wanna bet that she is keeping secrets from her husband and daughter to protect them?
Why is there such a juxtaposition between the two couples? Two reasons:
Charlie is gonna deal with her complicated feelings for her parents through Vaggie. Her partner is gonna challenge her to grow into her own person (microchosm).
Lucifer and Lilith unwillingly broke the world, but Charlie and Vaggie are gonna fix it (macrochosm)
This is why the two couples are immediately juxtaposed:
Tumblr media
After Charlie ends her retelling of The Story of Hell, Vaggie arrives to check on her.
Lucifer and Lilith destroyed the status quo:
Charlie: But this gift came with a curse. And with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way to Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered.
Charlie and Vaggie will bring a new and better one:
Charlie: We'll make a difference, wait and see Charlie and Vaggie: We're gonna do this, you and me

Vaggie stared at the door to her room. She didn't move for a few seconds listening intently for the unique sound of Charlies heeled footsteps. There was something unique about her footwork that made her walking so distinct.
She could lock the door. It was possible, but it felt wrong. She had only ever locked the door once, after she had gotten well enough to get up and walk around. After Charlie had nursed her back to health. She couldn't deny the demon scared her sometimes.
She was the princess of Hell.
How couldn't you be scared of her.
But then she heard the dejected voice when she bumped into the door. Because when she gripped the handle the bubbly girl firmly believed with every fiber of her being she would be let in. And so with all her energy and excitement to see Vaggie, she slammed face first into a locked door.
It was silent for a few seconds after before a soft sad voice asked if she was okay, then didn't bother her except for around meal times for the rest of the day.
When she finally did see the girl face to face there was a distinct moment where Vaggie realized the girl was holding herself back. Excitement was just below the surface. She could physically see the need to ramble bottled up within the girl.
After a bit of prodding it came out that Charlie had grown up being a lot for a lot of people.
She assumed it was the same for Vaggie.
She assumed that she had finally had enough of the constant slew of words and stories that came from Charlies lips. That it was Charlie's smile that had turned her away. Just like it did to so many others.
So, yeah...
Locking the door was a no go.
Still it would have made the accumulating anxiety in her chest feel a lot better if she did.
Still no footsteps.
Vaggie got to work.
This was a multi day event long in the making. Over the past week she had searched the entire building, going from room to room to find the softest material. It didn't matter to her if it was mattress bedding or a blanket.
She ran her fingers across it and if it passed her test she took it to her room. The only room she dared not enter was Charlie's. It would be hard to get away with missing pillow cases and fitted sheets, when the person you're taking from uses them every day.
So under her bed she had a small accumulation of everything she wanted to try.
Vaggie couldn't deny she missed her wings. It was one of the most blazingly obvious facts she could see about herself. It was evident in every step she took. The way she stumbled.
She lost a limb.
A part of herself was gone and was never coming back.
But she was strong, she learned to walk. Relearned how to do all of the most basic things in life.
But there was something deep in her chest. A missed longing. The way her wings hugged her. How she used to wrap herself in them like a burrito. The subtle warmth they gave off.
The other exorcists had joked, when she first arrived, that she used her wings more as a safety blanket than anything else. The way it wrapped around her shoulders like a child using a blanket as a pretend cape, instead of neatly tucked behind her.
A safety blanket... A safety blanket that was stolen from her before she was ready to part with it.
It was that blanket idea that sparked this one.
Maybe she could make her own wings. Something that at the very least could help her sleep a little better at night.
She started with the easiest first. She layered on top of her bed all of the cloth she had accumulated. Flattening each one out to the best of her ability creating a neat stack of blankets that slowly got less and less neat as it went up. (You can only add fitted sheets and pillows to the stack so many times before it starts to get lumpy.)
Knowing the softest little blanket was at the bottom. She took a deep breath then squirmed her way in. Stomach to the bed.
Admittedly, it wasn't the best method. The blankets she had methodically flattened now wrinkled with her movement. The weight was horribly distributed. It just didn't work. It felt wrong above her. There was weight on her hands where there shouldn't be. The weight was supposed to tapper down to nothing as it reached her butt. And instead all she felt was even weight across the board.
Not to mention it made her feel sweaty. But not in the way it was supposed to. Her wings created small patches of heat, but were still breathable. This made her sweat and combined with the heat of hell, made it humid.
She threw the blankets to the floor. Grabbing a thicker, but smaller in size blanket she began to fold. Then stuffed it into an awaiting pillowcase.
She worked methodically trying to shape it into a general shape of a wing with hopefully proper weight distribution. Then made another.
When she was done she didn't even want to test them. They were thick and clunky. She was sure only one would actually be able to fit on her back and they didn't weigh anywhere near enough.
Vaggie went back and forth. Desperate for ideas or any form of relief. She had gone though at least fifteen iterations of different faux wings. All of them failures.
She had gotten into her own head that she would be able to feel them again. Even if they were fake. And now her back burned with that denial as well as the physical exertion.
That's what Charlie walked in on.
The sinner she had taken in just two months ago. Hair frazzled. Breathing heavy. Clenched fists. Staring down at the bedsheets below her as if they were corpses she had just made.
Charlie to her credit did for a moment hesitate at what was blatantly a mad woman in front of her.
Charlie to her discredit, ignored every warning sign given.
She took a few steps forward trying to find the intention behind the actions. She wasn't stupid enough to not know that the girl was frustrated and that it clearly had something to do with the blankets. Or maybe bed sheets... pillowcases?
Charlie surveyed the mass accumulation of fabric at their feet. Bringing the girl into a hug. She let out a shocked sound before shuddering and leaning into the embrace. Not crying, but powering down from whatever event Charlie missed.
She had to get the girl some better bedding. It was clear something was wrong, so she would just have to fix all of it. To be fair, Charlie herself knew she was a bit picky when it came to bedding. It was one of the only times she would ever throw her name around. She wanted the high quality stuff. Anything else felt like sandpaper against her fur.
Maybe that's what's going on...
So high quality bedding for Vaggie too..... annnnnd maybe a weighed blanket. The girl seemed a little stressed.
Do you think in her first few months in Hell, despite the heat, Vaggie covered herself with half a dozen thick blankets every night, trying to mimic the weight and comfort of her lost wings?

I was literally just writing about this for the chapter that’s coming out this Saturday!!!
Tumblr media
Do you think after Charlie took her to safety, in a moment of desperation (despair, agony, hope) that Vaggie reached out to God? To reach his gaze, to help him spot the lamb which strayed away from the flock. Ready to plead and apologize with her whole heart for doubting the order of things, to grovel and cry and beg for forgiveness because oh father, how could you forget a little bird, one not meant to be devoured.
Yeah. Pardon the lack of refinement, busy with work. I'll have some proper drawings up once I'm able.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

The elevator gave a soft ding when it reached the top floor. The layout was a little awkward exiting the elevator, it opened up to a small space with only two doors. One led to the bedroom, the other the bathroom. There was also a door to the bathroom from inside the bedroom.
During the time of reconstruction, Lucifer insisted that the top floor was theirs and theirs alone and everyone agreed. (Lucifer and Alastor had their own top floor accessible through an entirely different elevator and ladder respectively.) Vaggie insisted on having some level of privacy from anyone who got off on the top floor, so this floor plan was drawn up.
Unfortunately it made for an extremely difficult journey to get into the room with a barely lucid Vaggie and a more than a little distracted Charlie.
Vaggie seemed to curl in on herself with every step, the tips of her wings dragging on the floor behind her. Not quite limp, but hanging just low enough that every step dragged them forward and sent tingling waves up to her shoulders then down her spine.
After only fumbling with the key twice and dropping it once, she finally managed to get the door open.
Charlie led her forward into the room, closing the door behind them and began approaching the bed.
Charlie let loose a slew of quiet praise.
"You're doing amazing."
"Just one more step." *step* "Just one more step."
"When we get to bed, we can sleep. Or I can hold you. Whatever you want."
"Can you take one more step for me. You're doing so well."
They made it just five more steps before Charlie noticed the tears.
Vaggie had curled herself forward, causing hair to obscure parts of her face, Charlie only noticing the tears when a drop landed on her hand.
Charlie tentatively raised her hand, the movement was indicative of cupping her face, but didn't quite touch the weeping angel in front of her. Giving her time to decide if this is what she wanted or needed at the moment.
When she received a slight tentative nod, she brushed the hair away from her face. Taking note of the color dusting her cheeks and the lack of eye contact.
"Oh, my Vaggie."
And with those soft words the flood gates opened. Vaggie took a single stuttering gasp in, before dissolving into a sobs. They weren't loud, nothing anyone could hear from outside of this room, but from Vaggie...
Vaggie who only ever cried in the form of silent tears. Vaggie who Charlie had spent many nights sleeping though said tears, all while holding her, never noticing a single breath out of place. Vaggie who Charlie watched first hand, go from tears collecting on her water line to dry as a bone in less time than it took her to ask what was wrong.
From that Vaggie, this was hell shattering.
Vaggie folded into Charlie, letting the taller demon support her weight and eventually lift her. Her breath hitching in a wince as those hand brushed the underside of her feathers in an attempt to get a stronger hold.
Rushed and repeated apologies made their way in one ear and out the other. Never even needed in the first place, but there anyway, because that's who her girlfriend was.
Charlie knew there was no option for removing clothes or changing into pajamas. Vaggie wanted to hide from the world. Wallow in her momentary embarrassment until her body stopped betraying her.
Charlie lay the angel on top of her as they reached the bed. Making room for wings to spread wide in the event they needed air, or Vaggie got too warm.
Charlie kept her hands to herself, laying them flat on the bed, despite wanting to pull the love of her life closer. She let Vaggie wrinkle the front of her shirt as she kept it in a death grip, the only sign Charlie needed to know that while Vaggie didn't want touch, she wanted Charlie.
Hear me out: Vaggie's Wings
Okay, so we have all seen the head canons that Vaggie either loves or hates her wings. That maybe they are not extremely sensitive and that any unexpected touch sends her into a spiral.
Or that she keeps them hidden except for when she's with Charlie, or that she is just so happy to have her wings back, and preening with Charlie is one of the best things she has ever experienced.
But hear me out: Stretching.
Stretching. Everybody stretches out their back. There is the hands above your head stretch. The hands down low stretch. There is the bed stretch where your legs shake. There is the floor stretch, if you do a lot of flexibility stuff you know, cat/cow stretches, cobra stretch, downward dog.
All different kinds of stretches. Now add wings.
I imagine stretching wings is a lot like stretching out your arms. It's like arms coming out of your back instead of your sides. And just like everything else you stretch, you stretch it in every direction.
Now stay with me.
Vaggie's wings being really big, like I'm talking they look too big for her body, so when she stretches them out, they hit the walls and knows stuff off of shelves.
Everyone in the hotel thinks it's the funniest thing in the world. Charlie thinks it's so cute. Vaggie gets so annoyed 'cause now she has to walk across to opposite sides of the room to pick up the two different piles of objects she's knocked over.
Then one day it happens. She stretches her wings back behind her, trying to crack something after sleeping weird and she just freezes. 'Cause her body feels what her mind had forgotten. And suddenly she's back in the alley. Back on the floor and she's in so much pain and just vulnerable.
The hotel crew just watches as a big stretch suddenly makes her tense. Watch her freeze and her eyes widen.
Then Angel comes in at the wrong time and bumps her wings. It had been something playful they had going on. He would shove her out of his way and she would smack his extra arms out of her face. He would try and scoot past her and get a face full of feathers.
It was just instinct with how tactile they had become with each other, but his arm pushes at her wings and they collapse inward so fast that he jumps back in alarm. And Vaggie is on the floor smacked by her own wings hard enough to bruise.
They curl around her in an almost suffocating way and she wants to scream or cry or anything, but she is just frozen and for a moment nobody knows how to help.
Angel feels too guilty to move and Husk is by his side trying to tell him he didn't do anything wrong while simultaneously keeping Nifty from getting to Vaggie, with her muscle memory encouraging her to stab the vulnerable angel on the floor.
Charlie is panicking. She wants to pick up her girlfriend, bring her to bed, and keep everything bad away for the rest of the day, but she also knows that when Vaggie gets like this, she doesn't always like to be touched. Her wings almost always being a huge no no, even when she does want to be held. But her wings are covering all of her. Charlie can't pick her up without touching them.
So all she can do is watch as Vaggie becomes a victim to her own mind in the presence of all their friends.
If you thought this was going to be cute... I am so sorry, but you should know me better than that by now.

Okay but I just had a shower thought.
Does Husk use body wash or just Shampoo and Conditioner on his whole body?
Actually the more I think about it prob just shampoo. He doesn’t strike me as all that soft and fuzzy. He seems like he’s feral cat textured.

Thank you ☺️
I have the inexplicable urge to turn Vaggie into a creature when I’m writing.
Like this girl has so many issues.
Trust, Abandonment, and Attachment at the very least.
And Charlie just picks her up off the street and is like
Tumblr media
And you expect her to just be fine with it.
Girl is bedridden for weeks then the second she realizes she’s in some demons home I want her to jump out the window and only then realize she doesn’t have wings anymore.
I desperately want her to haunt the halls of the hotel like a cat that knows it’s too dangerous to go outside but is determined to make its owners life miserable.
I want her to move furniture in front of the door so Charlie can’t get at her to change her bandages. But Charlie has goat legs so she just scales the side of the building and comes in through the window all cheery like.
I want Charlie to question whether or not Vaggie is still in the hotel cuz this creature angel of a girl has found so many hiding spots the Charlie has given up on this aggressive game of hide and seek. The only evidence of Vaggies existence is the skittering she does down the stairs late at night to grab food and water before hiding again.
Charlie having to earn trust the same way one would with a cornered animal before either of them are able to have their first conversation.
Or I could go the easy way out and have them talk. But that’s no fun.
Anyway if you’re new hello here is a link to my fanfiction. I hope you enjoy the dumpster fire.

pre angelic revelation, the hotel crew goes looking for Vaggie about some managerial thing and regularly finds her kickboxing in a spare room, beating the crap out of a dummy dressed up in an exorcist's gear and mask
a totally normal way to blow off steam, and one that they sometimes also find Charlie spectating at-
("Aren't you supposed to be against all this violence and shit?" - "Yes! But no actual exorcists are being hurt during this stress relief slash training session! So it's OK!" - "Yeah right. And you think your girlfriend looks hot punching stuff huh." - "Hm? Sorry Husk, I wasn't listening- what did you say?" - "......")
which all well and good!
until AFTER the angelic revelation.....
Charlie: "Vaggie. Please don't tell me that's actually YOUR exorcist armor."
Vaggie: "...."
Charlie: "Don't say you've been punching your old exorcist mask, imagining your own face under it."
Vaggie: "......"
Charlie: "I do NOT want to hear that you've been beating up on your past self this entire time- while I was watching! -and using punishing yourself by proxy as a way to cope when you're stressing over feeling like you're not doing enough here and now."
Vaggie: "........."
Charlie: "Vaggie why aren't you SAYING anything!?"
Vaggie: "You told me not to!"
Charlie: "ARGH!!!!"
post revelation, Husk goes looking for Vaggie in the training room like usual, and finds her standing helplessly in front of the exorcist training dummy as a tearful Charlie clings protectively to it with a full body hug
husk decides restocking the bar can wait. he's not getting paid enough to deal with This
