I Am Officially At 100 Followers! While This Isn't As Big A Deal To Me As It Would Be To Some Others,

I am officially at 100 followers! While this isn't as big a deal to me as it would be to some others, it's still significant enough that I wanted to share it and thank all the people from the fandoms I've touched on who have made this possible. You're all bloody legends!

At some point, we have to wonder if Viv knows that she's got an inherently unlikeable character on her hands

Why else would she go out of her way to make everyone else look bad?

Via, Stella, Mammon, Hell- even Blitz when he's not playing to Stolas' tune.

I started being apathetic towards Stolas when he was kidnapped in Western energy, given how hard they were pushing him, I knew Stolas wasn't going to be seriously hurt or killed.

If there's one criticism about the show Viv knows is valid, it's that Stolas should've stayed a villain.

So many other characters and arcs are sacrificed to try to salvage his slapdash reimagining as an awkward, repressed nerd.

As a writer, I know it can be difficult to admit an idea won't work, but those are the experiences that matter and that you can't improve without. I've had to part with some really promising ideas, simply because they didn't work for the project. But the effort Viv puts in to convince her viewers that nothing's wrong with Stolitz is baffling and, frankly, pathetic.

The Circus was what made me realize that she'd gone off the deep end. Western Energy holds the record for the fastest a piece of media has pissed me off, Stolas making excuses for his shitty actions felt too real, in the worst way possible.

He'd look better, just not good enough to match Mammon. Ironic really, since the whole mid-season special Fizz is saying he isn't good enough, turns out he really wasn't!

Also, thank you for making me your go-to Mam expert :8)

Outfit swap :]

[This made me realize they really do look similar and have very similar outfits

I refused to change their iconic hats I really tried and I hated it they looked so fucking goofy 💀❗️‼️]

Having read your analysis on Bee, I found myself thinking up a scenerio wherein Mammon chews out the other Sins. Like, the others air out their grievances with Mam and how him personifying Greed rather than encouraging it is giving them a bad public image, what with them being what is basically celebrities in the context of the show. Mammon would sat through it, silently glaring at the others, and when they’re done, he just tears into them. Mammon then proceeds to pick apart the other Sins’ actions and behaviors, noting how they used to personify their respective vices before eventually becoming the watered down versions of themselves they are in the present, probably even questioning why they’d even bother doing so in the first place. The others would probably try to “high road” him, but Mam isn’t having any of it and admits that, yes he is an unapologetically shitty person, but at the very least he’s honest about it, unlike them and the countless skeletons they undoubtedly keep in their closets. (I always interpreted Mammon’s only reason for trying to (poorly) hide his greedy nature is so he doesn’t alienate his potential consumers) Eventually, Mammon decides he’s tired of the conversation, notes he’s got a hot date with a recent divorcee later, and teleports away, leaving the others to stand in awkward silence, none of them willing to admit that Mammon’s verbal eviseration was right on the mark.

Sorry for the wall of text, just sort of had a flash of inspiration from your analysis.

Mam chewing them out would be extremely cathartic to see. After giving it some thought, I think Ozzie and Bee might be the only Sins that go out of their way to "mitigate" their public images. It would work especially well if Mammon reminds them of how well they used to get along and how, unlike Ozzie, he hasn't gone out of his way to antagonize them despite their "growth".

To elaborate on the Bee and Ozzie thing, Lucifer is canonically a pretentious ass to everyone but his family, Bel is highly implied to be so apathetic and lazy that she uses Sloth's general population as her test subjects and is likely too apathetic to care about appearances. What we've seen of Wrath doesn't paint the best picture of Satan, and it's too early to say anything about Levi, or Envy in general.

Nice to see the Golden Goose agenda spreading. And don't sweat it, text walls written in streams of consciousness are always more than welcome here!

My favorite moment with him - Easily his encounter with the Dexter Fella, it was hysterical, had a good reference to the original Child's Play and naturally fit into the plot. The punch sound effect still lives in my brain.

I think the current pair will be "rivals" of past villains, a new demon for Moloch in SM6 and the spider, a pest, for Dexter in SM7.

This leaves the Frank and Roy episodes. I don't think either of them will be villains, though there is the fact that they'll likely be two "redemption" episodes. One of those episodes will probably have Mr. Clown as the villain, so the other villain might be a new cultist. The robed cultist in the monster teasers is either Clown hiding that he's still alive or a way of hiding a cultist who hadn't and likely still hasn't appeared in an episode.

Okay I'm gonna fixate on the antagonists reflectijg the 7 deadly sins forever now
