( spoilers: hazbin hotel s1:e4 )

( content notes: sexual abuse, valentino )

Not that it's any excuse for Angel's behavior, of course. Excuses and reasons are not the same.

I feel like Angel's disrespect of boundaries (particularly towards Husk) is a product of his circumstances.

Angel is so used to Valentino just constantly grabbing him and making nasty comments when it's completely unwanted, and it has probably drowned out and overcome Angel's psyche to the point where his understanding of sexual boundaries has been totally destroyed.

His experience of abuse has made it so he definitely has a line he won't cross -- he won't sexually harass someone in a physical way, only verbally.

But he doesn't understand what the verbal abuse from Val has done to him; he hasn't yet woken up to it. Which has corroded Angel's own sense of "hey, it's wrong to talk to someone like this if they clearly don't like it."

I think if Angel were to escape Val, or if someone explained to it in a way that made sense to him regardless of his circumstances, Angel would be horrified with himself for treating Husk and others like that.

With all the remakes, and creators selling their beloved franchises to the highest bidder, and script-bids going on, it's easy to see how ego or public perception is making filmmakers gaslight themselves.

Rowling, Lucas, you name it. If something's getting additions in the here and now, the creators are coming up with things they say they thought of all along--when clearly their original content doesn't support it. Or, they're claiming that new handlers of their franchises don't "get it..." but not explaining where the new handlers are going wrong. You know why? Because the new handlers aren't in the original creators' ever-changing, ever-growing heads. They can only build something off of what the creators made. Not what the creators think about what they made.

I soundly believe that when a storyteller puts a story out there, it's told. And, as it is, the story is the true snapshot of what the storyteller was trying to say, thinking, and feeling, in that moment.

And then.

Because human beings are changeable, influenceable, and sometimes don't even know they're changing or being influenced, and often impose how they've changed onto their memories--

Those storytellers can forget, or lie, or think incorrectly about what they were thinking, feeling, and trying to say when they put that story out there. They can do a little revisionist's history, in their own minds.

Not every storyteller does this. Some have the presence of mind, and introspective habits, and philosophy on storytelling, to look back at what they made and say, "here's what I was really saying back then, and here's how I think differently now, or would have done it differently."

See, what the storyteller said in their story is what matters... not what they said about what they said in their story. That only goes so far. Because once a story is out there, it's like the words you speak. You can't change them or take them back.

You can say, "wait, well, that's not what I meant." But you know what everyone else can respond with? "But that's what you said." (With evidence.)

If we're out hunting and I say, "shoot that duck!" and you pull the trigger, and I go, "noo, why did you do that? I meant shoot the rabbit!" who's fault is it that the duck is dead? It's mine. Because you acted on what was outside of my head (my words) not what was inside of my head (my alleged "meaning.") You can only interpret meaning by way of evidence.

The storyteller is human, so they change. But their finished story doesn't change. It's don't changing. It did it's changing in the rough drafts, the pre-production, and in the creator's imagination: now it's not changing anymore, because it's been told. So, they can be wrong about their own work if they contradict their own work.

But you know what? If your theories contradict their work? Then they're wrong, too. The story says something objective: figure out what it is.

And that's an important thing for other storytellers to remember. Communicate clearly, and make sure what your story is saying is true--unchangeable, solid, dependable truth. Otherwise, you may regret what you said later on.

Idk if I've made this post before, but has anyone in the Batfam told Jason that they're happy he's alive? Has anyone not made his death about them in some way? Does anyone know about Sheila? (I forgot)

Please, I need to know this information!

During Crowley's love confession he says: "We don't need Heaven, we don't need Hell, they're toxic." which I find very interesting.

There's been a lot of discussion in the fandom about Crowley and Aziraphale's differences as a demon and an angel, talking terms of a chicken and egg situation, nature vs nurture, etc. And Crowley is right. Heaven and Hell are toxic.

But also.

The opening scene of season 2 establishes something very important: Crowley and Aziraphale held fundamentally different views even when they were unambiguously on the same side.

It definitively shows that Crowley didn't develop his pessimist/realist take on the world as a result of his fall. He fell because he was capable of acknowledging problems and willing to call them out.

Aziraphale didn't see these problems from the start. When pointed out, he deflects, admiring the nebula instead. Fine, maybe he was just scared about getting into trouble and not interested in philosophical discussions with this angel he just met.

But Season 2 goes on to make it clear that Aziraphale is very good at denying reality to maintain his cognitive dissonance. Even when confronted with and forced to acknowledge the moral grayness of life, Aziraphale easily falls back into seeing the world in black-and-white.

So it isn't just that Heaven is toxic.

Crowley seems to cling to this hope that Aziraphale's mindset is going to improve without Heaven's influence. But Aziraphale has mostly been living away from Heaven for millennia already. He's been thoroughly cut off for 4 years now.

So what? There isn't really precedence to go on for how he should heal, right? But then Gabriel comes along. I think that was why Crowley seemed so shook by how that storyline played out. Gabriel showed that it can be relatively easy for angels to change, at least in certain ways about certain topics.

Heaven doesn't hold all the blame for Aziraphale's toxic mindset. On some level, it's just Aziraphale. And Aziraphale struggles to change.
