“Floor Plan of St. John’s Hostel Where Fire Took Heavy Toll,” Toronto Star. December 14, 1942. Page 2.
----
Architect’s drawing shows the ground floor layout of the Knights of Columbus hostel in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where some 300 men and women, many of them Canadians with the armed forces, were trapped when fire roared through the building. Some 110 died. On the floor above were dormitories, where some of the victims were sleeping.

Arya didn’t know how much Robb would pay for her, though. He was a king now, not the boy she’d left at Winterfell with snow melting in his hair. And if he knew the things she’d done [...] “What if my brother doesn’t want to ransom me?”
immediate tears
“Why would you think that?” asked Lord Beric. “Well,” Arya said, “my hair’s messy and my nails are dirty and my feet are all hard.” Robb wouldn’t care about that, probably, but her mother would. Lady Catelyn always wanted her to be like Sansa, to sing and dance and sew and mind her courtesies. Just thinking of it made Arya try to comb her hair with her fingers, but it was all tangles and mats, and all she did was tear some out
-ARYA VII ASOS
oh. oh ok (falling to the ground, eating the carpet)
eleven years old arya contemplates her family could not want her back because her hair is all messy and her nails are dirty and her feet are all hard. she thinks of her mother, that has never managed to get through her (or has she?) and her first instinct is to fix herself. but the mess is beyond fixing now and all she does is tear some of her hair out. i am clawing at the walls.

Gluttony Is Not Just Excessive Eating
Yes, it is a main component of gluttony, but that's not all it is!
(And yes, this is also in response to people complaining about how Helluva Boss's Queen Bee-lzebub is not fat despite representing the sin of Gluttony)
Gluttony's etymology originates from the Latin word gluttire meaning "to gulp." This is to emphasize how someone can over-indulge in food and drink.
While gluttony's base definition focuses on the act of overeating and overdrinking, it is also important to note how people overeat and overdrink.
Many church leaders dating back to the Middle Ages have expanded on gluttony in one way or another. But the most popular interpretation comes from St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica. He goes over 5 different ways that gluttony can tempt us!
Laute – eating food that is too luxurious, exotic, or costly
Studiose – eating food that is excessive in quality (too daintily or elaborately prepared)
Nimis – eating food that is excessive in quantity (too much)
Praepropere – eating hastily (too soon or at an inappropriate time)
Ardenter – eating greedily (too eagerly)
The fact that there are at least 5 different ways gluttony can be interpreted is already incredible enough.
But it is also important to note that the first 3 ways focus more on the eating of food while the last 2 focus more on the speed in which food is consumed. Also, the food in question doesn't just refer to quantity, but quality of food can be seen as gluttonous too!
So, with that out of the way, how does this all relate back to Queen Bee?
⚠ SPOILERS FOR HELLUVA BOSS SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 ⚠
Throughout both the song "Cotton Candy" and the majority of the party itself, she encourages her guests to eat and drink to their heart's content.
Whether that be enlarging their food, offering giant kegs, or raining candy down on the guests, there is no doubt to anyone that she is encouraging gluttony from her guests. (At least, in the party-girl hedonistic approach and not to feed one's sadness like in the case of Blitzo).
Since excessive food and drink can often make a person feel good, I like the idea of an extroverted party-girl representing gluttony. And she is a fun character with both her performance and making sure her guests are well entertained and taken care of. It's honestly a refreshing take on the deadly sin.
The main point here: you do not have to be fat to be gluttonous.
As long as you have the core concepts of inspiring gluttony, I think that's all that really matters in the end, and Queen Bee knocks it out of the park.
And lastly, while this might be a headcanon more than anything else, I bet all of that dancing and flying is amazing exercise.
If she is putting that much effort into her performances and parties, she must be moving around a ton to organize, rehearse, and interact with everyone. So, if people out there really need a reason to why she is not fat, that's just my thought.
Anyways, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. I honestly just wanted to rant to get it out of my system.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts! I'm sure there is probably more about the topic that could be covered by others but I just wanted to rant about my perception of it all. Thank you!
