Insane part of Helene's lore is that there had been rumors at the beginning of 1853 that Napoleon III wanted to marry her? From the Neue Passauer Zeitung:
From Munich, 13 Jan, one writes to the ‘Fstr. Postztg.’ As several papers from Paris recently reported that the Emperor intended to marry a Bavarian princess, which could only mean the Duchess Helene, the eldest daughter of Duke Max in Bavaria, born on 4 April 1834, it caused quite a stir that this princess danced the first tour, namely the polonaise with the French envoy, at the court ball last night. Whether the above news deserves some credence, however, we will leave for the time being.
About a week later Napoleon announced his engagement to Eugenia de Montijo, so the news indeed didn't deserve much credence after all.

Good news for once, Almodovar is making his "answer to Brokeback Mountain" with a Western in which Ethan Hawke plays a sheriff named Jake, while Pedro Pascal will be the gunslinger Silva, and the characters live on opposing sides of the desert. The pair haven’t seen each other in 25 years. “So one of them travels through the desert to find the other,” Almodóvar said. “There will be a showdown between them, but really the story is very intimate.” Source: https://www.indiewire.com/2022/06/pedro-almodovar-western-ethan-hawke-pedro-pascal-1234737020/
I am. Excited.

I love we now made venti a potential hitman, like he’s so eager to kill for the all creator just to get attention, just imagine on the rare occasion you send him to kill some boss guy that been a nuisance for a while. Like on the outside to the public your the gentle all loving god. but in the shadows you have a team of your most loyal followers willing to kill people that you send out to take care of stubborn nuisance that refuse to make peace with you after giving them every offer you can. I imagine childe would be on the team of course, but also surprisingly, venti would too, like seriously, you a big bad boss guy that has unknowingly pissed off the all creator and this bard dude is sent to kill you? Only to come back to him master covered in blood and smiling cheerfully. Just, pure all creator secretly has a dark hitman unit she uses. She’s not all pure.
Really I mean what desperate acolyte wouldn't kill for the creator, I can't imagine there would be a lot
If we're talking about who all would be a willing hitman for their divine grace, all the Archons immediately make the checklist and also all the characters who have caused a death before, so obviously Childe's there, like a few different times
I'm just saying it would be really funny if the list looked like this
1: Childe
2: Venti
3: Tartaglia
4: Zhongli
5: Ajax
6: Ei
7: The 11th harbinger
Etc.
But something's just weirdly wholesome about the image of Venti covered thoroughly in blood, happily trotting back on his merry way to gush to his beloved how good he was for them, smiling and blushing as you clean up his face with a wet washcloth and he recounts the death in explicit detail, then you give him a lil kiss on the forehead for a job well-done
Que Childe pouting in the corner cause he didn't get a lil kiss
Anyway, yeah, it really is unrealistic to expect dear creator to just be all happy-go-lucky "let's solve this with the power of friendship!" when they literally came from our world, which is not notorious for having a lot of conflict solved in that manner
I mean at some point you just have to call it and resort to the secondary option, ie. murder
And who is a better helper than the drunk innocent bard, who looks as if the very worst he could bring himself to do is maybe steal a few sips of wine from unsuspecting patrons when they finally blackout after a long night
Realistically, if word ever got out to the general public that some 'less than innocent' things were going on behind the scenes, they would be relatively fine with it, I mean you have the right to enact divine judgment on whoever you see fit of course, and the fact that you're so loving and caring and pure on the outside only helps emphasize that everything you do is justified for one reason or another
And also what are the harbingers if not a team of 'problem solvers', I mean let's be real here, the game already has a canonical hitman team loyal to a divine power that everyone seems generally ok with, so you really wouldn't have to worry too heavily about that, your word is absolute after all
But if word did get out, there would suddenly be a very long list of people that want to join your elite hitman team, just saying, the line would be out the door
Then you'd probably have some of them claiming that they're actually better than the harbingers because they're loyal to a higher divine power, and then there's just Childe there who has to nervously sweat in the corner for being a part of both
Poor guy always gets swept up in divine hitman teams for some reason, if I had a nickel for everytime—
Anyway yeah, feral characters covered in blood and ready to kill 👌, more of that in fiction pls, we deserve it

I've just found my old fanfiction (written in 2015) about hell's royalty forming an alliance and overthrowing Lucifer because he was too incompetent to rule.
So if I had a nickel everytime a pice of media portrays Lucifer as a depresses girlfailure, too preoccupied with his special interest to take care of his people I would have two nickles, etc.
But the idea of coup d'etat really doesn't work for Hellaverse (believe me, I tried) because noone that could match Lucifer in power seem interested in ruling this shithole.
