Hey, You Know How Lute ALWAYS Has Blood On Her? Yeah Well After Adam Dies And She Goes To See Lilith

Hey, you know how Lute ALWAYS has blood on her? Yeah well after Adam dies and she goes to see Lilith it's just Angel blood, no demon blood.

The mark of a warrior has become the mark of her failure.

She may not have died but, to paraphrase Carmine, exterminators suck at protecting.

Leading into some serious character development I hope.

As much as I appreciate the "Adam is a demon now" and will almost certainly be reading fic about it, I really hope they don't add it into the show.

He was the season 1 villain, the miniboss, an introduction into what they are up against.

I feel like as they show progresses they should dive into a more serious tone, especially with the antagonists. This is why I think Lute is such a good choice because she's a motivated, serious antagonist that still fits in a comedy show.

Adam's time is over. Adding him back as an antagonist would take time away from the new main ones and while giving him a redemption arc, while VERY cool for fanfics and "Charlie redeems the first man/ fixes original sin" is great, it wouldn't fit in well with where he was at when he died. There was still no respect for Charlie, the hotel or redemption at all, he was a whiny, pathetic asshole and while that made him funny, it doesn't make for a good focal point to bring back after being put to rest.

No hate to anyone who likes this theory, I do too! But I think bringing Adam back as a minor plot point would undermine his actions in season 1 and bringing him back as a major plot point just isn't sensible when there are SO MANY other dominos left to fall.

One thing I need to know to properly put things together in my head is what is the actual in cannon timeline of the finale?

Like yes we see Pentious get redeemed AFTER everything else but surely his soul wasn't in some kind of purgatory for the whole time they were building the hotel. Or was it?

So, I think i can narrow it down to a few choices.

Pentious did wait in some kind of stasis and the timeline is as shown on screen.

Pentious was redeemed after the battle but before/ during the rebuild. Sera and Emily can then either view or not view the hotel. If they do see it, then they clearly see by the putting up of the portrait that Charlie thinks he's dead not redeemed which (may) lead to less confusion later on.

Pentious was redeemed straight after. Sera and Emily, if they choose to then view hell would have seen Adam get fucked (up) by Lucifer then get killed by Niffty.

I think if it were the last one it wouldn't make sense for them to watch Adams death and do nothing, but they could just be that scared of Lucifer/ don't have the power to open portals on a whim. In this case it's also possible that they end up with mixed feelings because Lucifer (though spiteful) does spare him. Nifty would probably shock them both.

Its VERY possible that it's one of the later options because it was only that order in the show for dramatic effect. There are of course probably other things I havent thought of. (In that case I'm begging you explain I crave the contents of your mind)

Also rb for bigger sample size if you're as intrigued about this as I am. It sounds small but could have large consequences about the opinions of Sera and Emily about the hotel gang.

I’m fully aware of the theory that Alastor has some kind of deal with Lilith going on, and from the information we have now it does seem reasonable.

Having said this, WITH ALL THE DR FACILLIER REFERENCES!!! How are we not taking this as a “he’s so incredibly strong that his own power will be his downfall, the forces he commands will be his folly”. Sure you found say with the Lilith argument that it’s his greed for power that does him in but is it really the same if somebody above him takes him down? Then he just ends up another part in the food chain like everyone else NO let this man go out with a BANG.

(I wont be upset if the Lilith idea is true, but him being so greedy he consumes himself? The cannibalism metaphor? ANOTHER link to a classic figure that is what most peoples first thought is when you say Voodo? May Emily save you all when we get more information because the devil will be living in my keyboard and feeding on my screams)

For that "Lute Captured" idea of mine one of the ideas I have for it is Lute taking up Sir Pentious' torch as the magnet for slapstick. The basic thought is smashing her dignity to pieces and destroying any and all fear the Hotel crew, and perhaps Hell at large, has for her.

Stunning, beautiful yes.

Take somebody proud and knock them to the godamn floor. Maybe without that stick up her ass she won't be so cruel lol.

Also kinda fits in with the "assigned roles" of heaven. She could be completely useless with non-combat related tasks which is obviously a great means of taking the piss.

Have the gal try to fight a toaster when it burns her toast or something idk.

Removing her as a villain through humiliation deffinetly opens up more for other villains to come in, but if she's captured, who told lillith about Adam? There's so much you can do here with both comedy and still get some plot in there too. If you ever write it up feel free to visit my inbox again, i'd love to know where you take this au. =)

I tried so hard to stay serious. Throwing myself into analysis and lore dives but no. The silly consumes all.

I can't stop thinking about the nonsense ass crackship that is radioapple (not a fan of things that ignore it entirely but ace/aro are both spectrums, I enjoy it as a dynamic not a serious "I want it to be cannon")

Logically the demon Adam theory is not my fav but the DESIGNS??!?!?

I like Rosie so much I've fallen into a pit of listening to jazz music. (The diagram of my music taste continues to expand, I have been left wondering how Alastor would react to 80s metal)

Tried to analyse stayed gone/ Vox in ep 8, got some good points but the main one being Vox has a crush on Alastor in the same way that teenagers who pretend to not like bands because they're "too mainstream" actually have a massive crush on one of the members. I'll produce a more coherent take when I'm sane.

And to top it all off, the owl bastard has infected my life once more, this time with Italian as I try to cope with how beautiful the Italian dub of loser baby is.
