Meditating On My Mammon Obsession

Meditating on my Mammon obsession

Sometimes I have to remind myself that (at least some) other Mammon fans love him in a very different sense. I see a lot of people who talk about Mam as someone they want to hug and stab at the same time, whereas I adore him so thoroughly that I need him to be happy and am fiercely defensive of him.

I relate to Mammon in several unique ways that genuinely made me reconsider my earlier claims of kinning characters, since none of them speak to me in the same way.

Mam is such a fascinating and compelling villain that he effectively turned me against the two characters who oppose him, though, to be fair, I never particularly cared for Ozzie or Fizz. They're just not my cups of tea.

"Two Minutes Notice" pissed me off more than it did Mammon, simply because he means THAT much to me.

ALL HAIL MAMMON!

TFW you realize Flashback!Mammon's shades are likely based on Greedler's...

HOLY FUCK!!! I never thought about how awful that would be for her. Poor Stella... :(

I think the root of Stella's more toxic behaviors is that, with the possible exceptions of Andre and Octavia, literally no one has ever valued Stella as an actual person. I'm pretty sure if Octavia ever hugged her and told her she loved her, Stella would just started bawling.

And if Stella really was a fussy kid, it's possible she's so bratty because her parents were so emotionally detached and neglectful that they just gave her whatever she wanted to avoid provoking her temper instead of teaching her to manage it and channel it into something positive.

Fuck it imma be the one to say it Vivi you can use as many excuses as you want try and justify it as much as you like but it wont change the fact Stolas still cheated !!!

This.. This is true beauty, ALL HAIL MAMMON!

spent too long on this, actually

What you said and also he showed me how bad a parent can be without being outright intentionally abusive and thus made me value my own parents more for being good people.

Hi helluva critical communicaty. I seen this trend in lore olympus critical reddit, and I thought it would be fun to do here. I know y'all hate him, and I also have negative feelings to him.

I dare you to say anything nice about this man.

Im going to try myself: He has nice voice acting, and I always love his songs.

(this is not to erase his flaws or anything, just to see what you can come out with)

Analyzing the SM6 spoiler collage

A bit late to the party with this one, but I have some ideas I haven't seen brought up by anyone else so buckle up and get ready to theorize!

Let's start with the easy stuff:

priest-Gregor

exorcism-Gregor attempts to perform an exorcism but likely gets possessed himself (see the demon priest poster at the movie theatre in Tender Treats)

church-We get a better look at the local church, seeing as the door we see in Tender Treats has a cult diamond shaped window in it, there should be some pretty interesting stuff in there, maybe even the tome from the ARGs

burglars-The thieves

cat lady- Even if you're like me and not a patron you can still tell based on blurred image previews and post titles that one of the new characters is an old woman and there's also a bunch of cats slated to appear in the episode. It's pretty easy to see the connection.

touhou plushie in the bottom left-just confirming there will be more Touhou references

Less obvious stuff that I feel really confident in:

the nine circles of Hell-Since were likely to meet a new demon this episode we may also get a glimpse at the SMverse version of Hell

women drinking-Lila goes to Jaune's house and gets drunk with her, this is also where we meet Jaune's husband in person, since he's confirmed to be in the episode

furnace-Dexter's body is cremated, likely by Patty after she's possessed by the new demon to release Moloch, who then possesses Gregor

Ones I'm less sure about:

marionette-Either something to do with the over-arcing cult plot or just a reference to the general idea of possession

angel-Possibly an angelic being who appears later in the episode, or more entertainingly, a character who acts as a rival to Susie, who is obsessed with angelic imagery

water bottles and ice bottles-My best guess is something to do with Kevin and the candy cartel

eyes-While it may be tempting to relate this to Eyes, I think the stark bright eyes against black may represent the Candy Dealer

person waking up-Someone comes to after being un-possessed and feels great and doesn't remember the possession, either that or something with some new character

blood flow-I honestly have no fucking clue on this one, maybe some kind of demonic infection or just saying there will be a lot of blood
