"And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy, because I believed their schmoes."
"Well, they're called s'mores..."
"They. Are. S C H M O E S."
I started laughing like a fucking idiot.
This scene is a masterpiece, it’s basically a textbook depiction of ego death. The shattering of a grand illusion, that desperate final attempt to prove the lie right and then the total psychological collapse. Essential viewing.
Do y’all see how simple an apology is? Many trans people don’t care if you do it on accident. They’ll move on and make a simple correction. Simply apologize and move on. Not like we’re telling y’all to rent a Goodyear blimp and paint it light blue, pink and white or whatever
muting, should have known better than to interact with anything related to vivs work. never poking the "we acknowledge she doesn't care about male victims of sexual violence but we don't care" nest again
The story literally bends over backwards, to a point of retconning its own pilot to paint Stolas in as good of a light as possible. It runs away from his manipulation of Blitz instead of embracing it in his character, the one real consequence he faced was losing his daughter.
BTW, you wanna know why I chose these specific characters?
Each one of them has been surrounded by obnoxious discourse. And, more often than not, they tend to receive queerphobic insults too.
If anyone says Stolas should be out: you're proving my point.
And I love him, so...
@VivAntisArchive (If you want to play that card, I want you to keep in mind Hazbin Hotel opened with the assumption that the viewer had seen the pilot and understood who everyone was and what the premise of the show is)
@Malustuck@Cheese1946 I can't get out my full argument because of Twitter's character limit (and also because Viv's work isn't worth my time anymore) but even if both of them are at fault, it doesn't change Stolas's character and intentions being awkwardly flipped halfway through.
