The Insta Of Dorian Gray

The Insta of Dorian Gray

Hey it’s ace week and you’re local ace has something to say! I’ve been out as ace for 3 years now and it’s still a big part of my identity that I’m proud of so here’s a lil something for those who need it!

Correct me if I’m wrong but in the original text doesn’t Jekyll admit to always knowing exactly what Hyde was doing just not wanting to stop it? Also, that when he woke up as Hyde he was completely aware of being Hyde and had the wherewithal to run back to the apartment he had bought to “house Hyde?”  And I know that he was into shady shit prior and the main motivation for creating Hyde was so he wouldn’t feel any guilt over that shady shit. So if I’m right on the first point, combine that with the shady guilt stuff, I find it fascinating that in many adaptions of Jekyll and Hyde and in the public eye, Jekyll is seen as good if not misguided and Hyde as a truly separate and evil person. When in reality Hyde never really existed, was just a disguise, and Jekyll should be considered a truly horrendous person. The true monster of the story who eventually took his own life instead of facing the consequences of his own actions. I’m sure there are entire papers on this and better ways of pointing this out but it’s been bothering me so I thought I’d share my thoughts.

There was so much angel symbolism around Blizo in this new episode. Separating some of it from Stolas, the golden feathers and staircase (staircase to heaven anyone?) are like huge symbols right off the bat. Then the x in place of his eye in Moxxie’s hallucination which we’ve seen the killer angels to have in Hazbin Hotel. Kind of Blizo’s outline matches a bit too with what we saw of angels in Hazbin Hotel. I know there’s like no way Blizo’s a fallen angel (though that would be some cool shit) but it’s interesting to see him with the angel/heaven symbolism. Adding in Stolas though and the staircase, that is still a big heaven-like scene to me. Possibly implying that Blizo holds Stolas to a god-like height.
