Moloch Could Be Stommiform

Kinds of fitting, it has his smile

Good idea, also, this gave me the idea of Gregor as a sea angel

Father Gregor: Spooky Month's fascinating anti-villain

Now, before I go full tilt into my rambling, I want to explain why I'm classing Gregor as an anti-villain. Put simply, his character flaws get in the way of his noble goals and lead to him and the boys being in danger.

So, what does Gregor do in Hollow Sorrows, anyway?

Well, he suddenly takes it upon himself to teach two unruly children how to act in a way he deems acceptable. Over the course of his effort he first gets them to ask people for forgiveness and/or make amends for issues they've caused. Where this went wrong is Gregor making the boys systematically apologies to everyone, including Patty, which leads to all the Moloch shenanigans, and Ignacio, which is implied to be what led to Gregor being sacrificed at the end of the episode.

Then we have the other lessons Gregor tried to teach the boys, all of which backfired, with Skid and Pump applying them in situations or ways Gregor didn't foresee or intend. The reason for these backfires being Gregor's inability to look past his own values and understand why someone might not act in accordance to them. He shows this almost every time he talks to someone other than the boys, as the criticisms he makes, while usually at least partly true, often don't come from the right place or don't consider context.

This is what makes Gregor an anti-villain to me, and why I consider this to be his episode instead of Moloch's. Pelo said in the stream where he redid the cultist reference sheet that he wants the villains of the episode to have a seven deadly sins theme to them. Seeing as the first 2 episodes didn't really have focused villains and the cult, as the big bads, aren't likely to be grouped with the episode specific villains, I always saw his statement as referring to episodes 3-9. With this in mind, the villains and their sins would be: Moloch- wrath (obsessed with getting revenge on the boys) Dexter- lust (bloodlust or his "needs") Bob- gluttony (duh) and now, with Hollow Sorrows, Gregor- pride (as his arrogance and perceived moral superiority to others continuously causes problems during the episode) I do have theories on the remaining episode villains and their sins connections, but that's a story for another post.

replace one word in your username with boop tell me in the tags what it is

Cool, also, can someone translate the whole clip, please?

Hope you don't mind me asking, but where'd you get this name for the tie guy?

Pelo revealed his name in yesterday's stream ^^

The point is that Bob and Roy's uncle have "X"s next to their photos, Mr. Clown has a "?"

The point being that the in-universe authorities have no conclusive evidence he's dead, just like us.

The clown isn't dead

You are correct, that's why people throughout the episode keep asking Gregor if he's really a priest, since they don't know the church is a thing now.

Wait

Did Father Gregor die?

I thought he was just being indoctrinated

We honestly don't know atm, it's pretty heavily implied he was sacrificed? But we don't see him die, and considering the last time we didn't see a character die he turned out to be alive (Streber), there's always a chance.

I hope he's not dead lol
