I'm only halfway though Hbomberguy's new video and I dont know if this is a universal experience but my main horrified takeaway from hbomb's plagiarism video so far is that one of my highschools TAUGHT AN ENTIRE CLASS OF 13 YEAR OLDS TO PLAGIARISE. LIKE, ON PURPOSE.
I ended up moving to a much better highschool, but my first highschool essentially taught us to "write" essays by reading what someone else had written and then write what they said again but putting it "into your own words". Which in practice was teaching us to change, for example, "the works of Shakespeare were regarded by many as the first popular art form" to "Shakespeare's plays have been said by some to be the first example of popular media". One teacher actually told us that the process of writing an essay was "saying what the people you've researched have said, in a way where it sounds like you said it".
Like. The tactics that actual plagiarists use to hide the fact that they were stealing. An actual teacher tried to teach me to do that.

it's so unbelievably refreshing to have such honest and open communication between love interests. Liberty explaining to Anequs they'd be in severe danger if they courted, Anequs telling Theod it'd be risky if they courted openly--but her saying she'd love to later with both of them, when it was safe. and no one gets upset about it and everyone understands, even though they're disappointed. now that i'm saying this out loud--"wow its so great that people who love each other talk to each other about their feelings maturely"--i think maybe my bar was. a little bit damaged and low damn

idk if you know this but; according to the virtue's terminal info, Higher angels are more humanoid and are considered "purer" than those who look less human. This means that most likely for Gabriel, he'd experience a lot more emotions about his demonic features, as not only is he slowly becoming a demon, but is morphing into a mockery of god's image :>
mentions of body image issues //
YES OMG....this is another important facet in why gabriel despairs over his transformation as he does - the angels of higher choirs are humanoid in shape to distinguish them from the lower, more impure souls that tend to be abstract or animalistic in nature. after all, humanity was said to be made in god's image and although i tend to take a more metaphysical interpretation (as in, humanity is capable of creation as god is), this is likely an ideal form as perceived by god since he bestowed it onto what was meant to be his most exalted work. notably, gabriel gains several animal-like qualities in his horns, claws, and tail, qualities that he and all in heaven would consider lesser, baser, shameful. it all compounds with the deterioration of his halo, his loss of flight, and the severed connection from the other archangels - he feels as though he is fully warping into something else, not just to become a different person but to become another being entirely. he once existed as one of god's highest creations, a being held as perfect by humanity and by many of the other angels in heaven, but now he is agonizingly robbed of that as it slowly erodes. for some time he can only see a twisted form, like something growing out of the body of an archangel but wrong and parasitic. eventually he comes to understand and in fact enjoy who he is as a fallen angel, he is proud of the traits he's gained, but that's only once he can deconstruct the noxious standard of heavenly beauty he realized was much more important to him than he thought.
