In the court in ep6, we see 5 different types of angels (on top of the Seraphim).
In the middle there are moth/bug-looking ones (mix of antenna/no antenna). Then we've got the birdies (the ones at the top have extra Long Feathers) and the very demonic looking horned ones at the bottom. (And this one guy at the top with the eyed appendages)
On top of those are what I think are Ophanim; wheels with eyes on them at the top. We see them in the beginning narration of ep1,
And it looks like two of the angels we saw creating Earth might also be Ophanim (the 2 lower ones)
One of these angels was clearly Sera, a Seraph we later see accompanied by Emily. Sera is the "Head Seraph" and expresses that it's her job to take care of things since she's older.
People have theorized that Seniority is an important thing among angels because of that and how, in the ep1 narration, it's said the Elders of Heaven disapproved of Lucifer's ideas for creation.
We are shown 6 angels here (7 including Lucifer), all of them with unique halos (and heads!) making them distinct from each other.
And in ep5, we see the same group of 6 with the exact same halos again
Except this time they're even more distinct, with distinguishing silhouettes&markings added.
Seven angels, including Lucifer? Almost like... the Archangels?
i think one of my favorite things about the boys is how out of all of them hughie, the one considered to be the useless civilian one, is ultimately the one who did the most against vought, and most of it was by mistake or an accident.
like. hughie electrocuted and then murdered a member of the seven, was responsible for another’s death, and had an occasion to let another die and only didnt because he’s a good person. he infiltrated vought tower twice, going as far as the seven’s main room. he bugged said room and one of the seven’s phone. he successfully broke five prisoners out of vought facilities. he hacked into a supe’s computer to spy on her which allowed them to blackmail her. he encouraged annie to fight back against the deep which led to him being fired from the seven. he also showed up to a-train’s hostage situation, blackmailed him into letting his dad go, then had his leg broken which also led to him being fired. plus all the information and help they get from annie they get only because hughie knows her. he gave butcher the solution to make sure vought wouldn’t find them when they had transluscent. he lied to homelander’s face and is the only human except edgar and butcher who stood up to him. the information which allowed to take down stormfront was given to him and annie, not any of the boys. he successfully blackmailed ezekiel without even having any evidence, purely through improvisation, and is the one who found out where the compound v was which directly led to discovering how supes are made. he helped obtain and leak the compound v information to the public.
like the boys would be NOWHERE at this point if butcher hadn’t recruited him and its hilarious because since he doesn’t look intimidating nobody focuses on him. homelander saw the boys and immediately decided butcher was his sworn enemy he was gonna have a rivalry with and completely overlooked the awkward twink. when in reality the boys aint shit without him and said awkward twink is objectively the biggest threat against vought so far, and he directly or indirectly got FOUR of the seven either killed or fired. literally every single one of the boys, annie included, would be dead without him and he’s not even trying half of the time or he does it on accident. and yet everyone just goes ‘oh yeah thats hughie he doesnt really do anything’. idk why this is so funny to me
Please dont misconstrue this post and heres my disclaimers: I DO LIKE THE SONG, and i am Not Mad/upset at people being happy about it as well /gen
Ok ill carry on :)
Am i the only one who like feels just a bit worried with what the songs about and then also peoples reactions to it

And no im NOT saying people cant be happy bc IM happy about the song, i like the song, i can relate,, but like it gives me a bit of apprehensive feelings
And like yeah ik its just a song but idk theres too many lenses to look at this from
Uuuh here's my art dump for the reverse omens au I made
I can't remember which artist came up with the moth demon Aziraphale but credit goes to them, I just liked it and decided to run with it (I'll see If I can find them to drop a name sometime l8r)
Text ver under the cut
Aziraphale - really a quite terrible demon (original temptor)
Moth broach
Walking stick
Same outfit p much
Hair pattern silly
Majic man style coat
Eyes...
Moth antenna
Raphael - bored Archangel, human expert and healer (Crowley)
Outcast Archangel
Azi's pocket watch
Moth pendant
Devious smirk
How 2 draw skinny jeans?
Shoes...
Snake tattoo
(Text pages at the end, typed out below)
The story goes like this...
Aziraphale, thinking that keeping the diffrent between right/wrong from life is silly. He believes it's the right thing to do to introduce it to the humans. He is past looking to the all-mighty for morality, and really just does what he thinks is right. He disguises himself as an angel to offer the fruit to Adam + eve, and then discorporates the angel of the Eastern gate (unnamed angel, soon to be demoted for being bested so easily) to give the humans their flaming sword. He watches them go from the top of the Eastern gate, now non-disguised
Archangel Raphael is bored, hating how heaven is run but not wanting to ask questions after the fall of their last 'example'. He loves his stars, and wishes the world would be as interesting as them. He often visits the garden, so he sees Aziraphale on the wall and, bored, goes to be nosey
Crowley: the principality for this post taking a break?
Aziraphale: looks it, doesn't it? Whoever they were, they did quite an awful job. The humans are already a mile beyond the wall. Perhaps heaven is doing it all wrong then, hm?
It turns out, demons are quite talkative. And interesting
Crowley: hm, so you're saying you don't know what happened here?
Aziraphale: not a single clue. I suppose that's to be expected though, no?
Crowley: oh? What makes you say that?
Aziraphale: well, it's as she said. I'm not quite meant to ask questions. Her plan is ineffable, after all
Crowley: ineffable?
Aziraphale: quite. Silly, isn't it?
Crowley: I never said a thing, uh,
Aziraphale: Aziraphale
Crowley: Aziraphale
Crowley: how tf did u get captured by the Spanish inquisition?
(Dressed 2 the nines)
Crowley: I'm gonna myrical u outa this bc I have a heavenly duty but let it be known I think you're one of the dumbest motherfuckers I have ever met
Aziraphale: teehee
(No longer a fashion icon)
Crowley: dramatic ass demon
Sorry this is so terribly layed out tumblr kept changing it after I posted
The last time I was into wrestling they were not intentionally playing into the homoeroticism; but Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle simply cannot be stopped.
Seth making deliberate allusions to more than platonic feelings between he & his former Shield members, dressing like Him from Powerpuff Girls every match and getting entirely too close to his coworkers during promos. While Matt Riddle is consistently providing the RK-Bro ship community with so much content they don't even have to write fic. From the way he emphatically says "Raaaaandy", the puppy dog enthusiasm with which he interacts with Randy and stares/pouts at him, the allusions to he & Randy doing things outside of wrestling together ("Our trip to the grand canyon, the grocery store because we need some stuff..."), constantly wanting to touch/hold Randy with Randy's notoriously stoic ass actually reciprocating his physical affection, and Randy doing his part by being so genuinely charmed and amused by Riddle's antics.
Also they just both say some sus as shit and my gay ass be like "IS THIS INTENTIONAL????". I can always tell by how Randy breaks or how whomever Seth is talking to breaks whether or not what they said was scripted. Hell they're already pushing the audience's limit with Seth's Elton John/Joker/Loki/Prince-esque outfits and Matt's painted nails (that he did not originally start out with but I imagine he was like "Fuck it. We ball." and painted his nails). I love this for them. Seth's outfits get huge pops and though I do notice that sometimes the WWE Universe isn't fully behind the homoerotic things that Matt Riddle does/says but those disgusted jeers are normally drowned out by people who genuinely enjoy the character building that Riddle has done with himself and Randy's characters. Dude is so over that people actually clap when he says these things.
To me personally malistaire is the funniest and most pathetic villain wizard101 has ever had AND I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!!! Between doomed children who have been manipulated, groomed, and isolated into becoming products of their environments, someone scorned who has been punished unfairly by having your biological heart torn out your chest and turning your children and all of reality against you to satiate their own ego, a nonhuman entity so powerful and so clueless they unintentionally threaten the lives of everyone around them, Malistaire FELL DOWN BRO. Like yeah you're bitchless now. You and me both. Get in line. Everyone in this room is bitchless. We are ALL living that ✨💅🏾💃🕺 Single Life™. You are a middle-aged man. Cope
i’m replying to this on my personal blog because i do not want to address this on the cloutchase blog. normally, we would delete an ask like this, but it bothers me too much personally.
it sounds like your brother is subscribed to “dead internet theory” which is a fringe conspiracy theory and total doomer talk. it basically proposes that the internet "died" in 2016/2017, and is or will be only made of bots that are generating content for other bots to engage with eternally, and that bot content makes up a majority of the internet in order to manipulate people. it is hyperbolic, using language like "everything online is generated by a bot and you are alone."
idk where he got the idea that it started with discord users, and we aren’t just going to take this information as fact for the sake of making content for our silly website gijinkas. it would be incredibly depressing and irresponsible of us to spread potentially dangerous conspiracy information like this, even if we somehow twisted it into the form of a joke (which we can't). cloutchase is moreso a celebration of the unique environment of the internet.
(REMINDER: these are just funny ocs, and while there are serious conversations to be had surrounding actual problems with these sites, cloutchase is NOT the space to be doing so. read the FAQ.)
people believe in this theory because it “feels” true, the internet now feels fake and algorithmically produced and that nobody here is a real person. that’s why many people have nostalgia for “old internet,” where we remember a time where everything was seemingly user run.
but really the main difference between old internet and new internet is commercialization. inevitably, websites grew into businesses and businesses must generate profit. algorithms, advertisements, and ai are much more prominent than ever, flagging algorithms with human bias censor actual people, and so on. seeing and experiencing these things makes it kinda feel like nothing matters or whatever.
what’s actually important to YOUR experience online is asking this: is the majority of content you engage with generated by bots? no!!! you make it your own! the internet is massive, but we still find each other!!! there are REAL people behind this project and receiving your messages. we read everything, you know. WE aren't bots.
bots have always been around the internet, it isn’t a new thing. sure, we didn’t have sophisticated ai generation back then, but spam bots have always existed. malware spread through bots, some ARE bots. in some far off circles of the internet now, there are content farms and viewbotting, but here we are, meeting on this tumblr blog.
the internet will only die when its users decide to stop using it. is this not unlike the y2k scare?
Honestly, every single time the whole 'poppy playtime is a bendy rip-off' stuff ever shows up I find it all extremely unconvincing and silly.
For one thing, rip-off usually is meant to imply that it's a cheap lazy copy of a better more polished thing, and uh. Sorry but even from chapter 1? Poppy Playtime is a better game than Bendy, it has a simple but understandable story, the game manages to be thrilling, creepy, and very intense at times... I mean that Huggy chase in the vents ALONE puts it way above Batim for me.
I mean BATDR had the most slow stupid chase I've ever seen [and every other encounter with the ink demon is text telling u he's there and then a timer goes down and u get jumpscared] and batim's chases were either silly or just not nearly as theatric or terrifying as that.
When making the vent sequence I mean not only is it absolutely horrifying to realize how fast Huggy is in there but also it's so theatric and cool? The fact that you round a corner after thinking you escaped only to see a terrifying animation of that thing crawling toward you is awesome! I wish Bendy had stuff like that!
And all the stuff it shares with Bendy are generic things Bendy ripped from other horror games/media anyways. I'm not saying Poppy Playtime isn't inspired by Bendy I for sure think it is but Bendy is such a generic story that somehow fails to do tropes 100 other horror games have done any comparison only makes Poppy Playtime look better.
"It has employees being sacrificed for their company" That is not a concept Bendy invented, literally look at any of the sci-fi horror series Bendy is very inspired by. This is literally a twist in the original Alien.
"It has a scary woman forcing you to do tasks for her" Once again, not a concept Bendy invented, a scary mysterious person forcing you to do fetch-quests is a concept found in tons of horror media. And at least Poppy Playtime gave you a chase with her and let you defeat her, look at poor malice. She's barely on screen for more than 10 minutes before she gets stabbed.
"It has a cult worshipping the monster" This is something tons of horror games and media have done too. I mean In The Tall Grass has a guy who worships a giant magical rock in the middle of a grass maze, Bioshock [which Bendy has only been taking more and more direct inspiration from while failing to grab any of the compelling parts] also had a lot of themes of religion and cult-ish behavior, almost every horror media franchise has at one point done a cult thing.
Bendy couldn't even come up with a reason Sammy worships the ink demon, the best motivation we've ever gotten is just that 'he's crazzyyyy the ink made him insaneeee'. Who is the cheap rip-off here?
At least Poppy Playtime gave their cultist a motive for worshipping the monster + a proper boss fight that feels intense and looks awesome! Bendy didn't even let you kill Malice [she got stabbed in front of you and then just collapsed on the floor how thrilling] meanwhile you get to kill three of the villains in Poppy Playtime and the gameplay and action in those scenes have only gotten better as the game went on.
I mean Sammy walks into a room and goes "AAA SCARY I'M BEING MURDERED" then later shows up and for NO REASON sees a normal human man and assumes it's the ink demon before once again someone else kills him for you. In Poppy Playtime you defeat Catnap as he floods the world with this horrible nightmare-inducing gas that intensifies the color palette and his design. Fight off versions of him that are illusions that you need your flare gun for, then watch in a wonderful animation as he mistakes the monster for his savior before getting killed by it, in a brutal way I might add, which game are we accusing of being cheap, lazy garbage again?
I just find this argument to be people who Really Really need to find a reason to hate Poppy Playtime which I think is silly. The devs being weird, shady people is already enough reason to dislike the game, you don't need to invent reasons why secretly every part of the game is malicious or bad. But esp when I see Bendy fans saying they don't support Poppy Playtime or dislike it bc of its devs or even saying its cringe ummmm.
I have bad news about the fact Bendy's devs are worse and it took not one, but TWO over an hour long videos to cover it all. Plus the Bendy games are just the worse games in every aspect, if I could sell my batim copy for a copy of Poppy Playtime I wouldn't hesitate at all.
Saying this as a bendy fan, we have no right to be super judgy towards Poppy Playtime. If Poppy Playtime is embarrassing cringe, Bendy is too and is way more embarrassing of an interest. We shouldn't spread misinformation just because we all want to hate Poppy Playtime, you can dislike Poppy Playtime without making up a bunch of nonsense to justify it.
Honestly seeing people just blatantly be unfairly mean to Poppy Playtime only makes its critics look worse and makes it hard to take any backlash to the games seriously. Because surprise surprise if you spread misinformation to make a point people will quickly stop listening to Anything you have to say bc they won't trust you're telling the truth anymore.
