Updated! A few days ago the contract Crowley signs in S1 came up on discord. Being the crazy person that I am, I set on the quest of finding out what it actually says. I couldn't make out everything, especially at the end where Crowley's hand and the sparks obscure the lines but I made out most of it (transcript below the break).

One of the things I like the most is that the contract specifically says "Anthony Crowley of Mayfair, London." In the book, Hastur tells Crowley not to use that name: "No. Not A. J. Crowley. Your real name.” Crowley nodded mournfully, and drew a complex, wiggly sigil on the paper. It glowed redly in the gloom, just for a moment, and then faded."

Interesting things:

The contract is referred to as "the Agreement" - HA!

The contract is between Hastur and Ligur ("the Customer") and Crowley ("the Service Provider"). Not with Hell itself or with Satan.

The contract never actually says what "the Service" is nor does it say how much Crowley is supposed to be paid (so is it just delivering the baby to the convent, or all the upbringing too?)

There is a part that says Hastur and Ligur will pay the costs when the operation is done. But later on it also says that Crowley will not be reimbursed for his own expenses. Talk about being shortchanged!

Hastur and Ligur will NOT provide any help

Crowley must contribute to a retirement plan (Superannuation) for himself and his employees if he has any (how thoughtful)

And lastly, I learned the UK has Superannuations and it is not just an Australian thing! (go figure! the things GO teaches me)

So here you have it. A contract from Hell! literally If anyone can make out the words I couldn't or finds an error, please let me know and I'll update this one.

Full transcript:

After some time of dating, when Husk and Angel decide to get married (by Lucifer, as the closest thing to "holy" authority in Hell), the moment they exchange rings they can each feel the chains of their deals pulling and then breaking, freeing them from their contracts since, once married, their souls belong to each other.

(add on: inspired by this)

#hazbin hotel #huskerdust #hazbin hotel angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #angelhusk #if we consider a timeline where they still haven't been freed of their contracts #btw who married lucifer and lilith? or did he do it himself. can he do that? lmao #marriage is still a christian sacrament so i imagine even in hell it hold more weight than a demonic contract #and i mean sinners can get married right? like is travis' wife from his time alive or did he marry down there #or does earth marriage end with death. 'till death do us part' and all #*Alastor frantically looking or someone to qpr marry him*#edit to add the piece of art that gave me the idea #go look at it <3

rewatching the first episode of Hannibal and holy shit I forgot how good this is but it's actually insane that Brian fuller set up the ep like this, he introduces will and Hannibal by first briefly showing them at their core, at the darkest, most vile part of them---we get a glimpse behind the curtain---and then its gone, the curtain is snapped shut and we see their masks, their human suits.

Will empathizes with killers because he likes it, and he wants to kill but he refuses to give into the urge because he knows how much he'll like it and he won't be able to stop. So he lives vicariously through other killers, satisfying his own dark urge by feeding it little morsels of secondhand blood lust. Every crime scene he works gives the urge something that satisfies it, not enough for it to grow, but enough for it be sate. Enough that he can ignore it for long enough that he can walk around and be Professor Will Graham who is Weird, Brash, and Non-sociable.

And Hannibal is a cannibal at night and a psychiatrist by morning.

#hannibal #hannigram #hanniblogging #hannigram brainrot is real #also ive watched the entirety of hannibal like four times and everytime i watch it i still find stuff to lose my mind over #brian fuller the brain that you have #winston my beloved #also plzzzz the way hannibal was just gonna kill jack with like no hesitation #AND the way hannibal was fucking smitten from the moment he spoke to will #like wills all like i hate eye contract its distracting as hell and hannibal is just looking at him like 😍😍😍#plss you are embarrassing yourself #also question #when will was like how do you see me and hannibal said that shit about the mongoose and the snakes and will just looks at him like ????#do yall think he was confused because he was genuinely like dude what the actual fuck are you saying #or because he understood it #and the woman at hobbs' work being like two guys from the fbi #and neither of them are technically from the fbi #just two insane dudes having a first date by larping an active fbi investigation #omg and when will shoots hobbs he realizes that oh fuck this is my chance this is my chance to kill and finally satisfy that dark urge #so after he shoots him once he just keeps shooting shooting shooting till its impossible for hobbs to survive for hobbs to be dead #till it was will that killed him

I think the black lines over mahiru's eyes were merely a creative choice to underline that mahiru was acting so out of character (from kuro's perspective) that kuro didn't recognize mahiru anymore, but this got me thinking. With the revelation that the count only reflects the beholder's feeling towards him:

Would you even recognize him if your feelings towards him changed for whatever reason? I know he admitted himself that what he and kuro are to each others is strangers, but it does make me wonder if he did meet adam before, but due to the changed situation kuro didn't recognize him anymore when he awoke as sleepy ash.

#servamp #mahiru shirota #servamp kuro #servamp count of saint germain #absolute crack theory that goes in the direction of the mahi as the vessel theory:what if there is a connection between the count and mahir #and mahiru also looks slightly different depending on who is looking at him #but because everyone he meets was just told that he's tooru's nephew or just an ordinary highschool student he looks pretty average #to everyone. So nobody ever noticed #and the black lines kuro saw were because his perception of mahiru clashed too badly with what mahiru was suggesting #sorry I'm just trying to guess what the hell tooru wanted to tell mahiru #and why tried to make him think that he was just from a normal family as long as possible #even after mahiru made the contract and couldn't be kept away from this all anymore

No one tells you how hard it is to stay in character when writing sometimes. These two…they’ve got me like this 🤏

But it’s okay. I’m hungry for more Emilute content so I have to pick up the pen and do it myself even if it’ll be majority angst with sprinkles of fluff.

.

Writing my Redemption!Lute Au has been on my to-do list since the episode Welcome to Heaven so I’m praying I can finally make this happen and I hope that I don’t succumb to the perfectionist inside of me because I do think having Lute redeem herself is an interesting angle that I doubt the canon would ever follow.

Also it’s an excuse to make a slow burn Emilute fic and I’d eat dirt for any Emilute content.

#no but I do have a serious vision for these two and I need to realize it I’ve never yearned to create something more #like imagining Lute returning to Heaven and whilst given a few days to recuperate is put on trial for her crimes since we’ve now learned #that sinners can be redeemed and the realization from Sera that they’ve been killing people who always had a chance to be saved #that plus her breaking the contract of not killing hellborns so yk that too #and Emily is a part of this and inspired by what Charlie has done jumps in to not necessarily defend Lute but provide an alternative #solution that doesn’t involve sending her down to Hell which she believes wouldn’t help anyone #I dunno I’m rambling lol #hazbin hotel #emily hazbin hotel #lute hazbin hotel #Emilute #˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊Crystal Talks

"Silk Flowers grow in pairs on small red bushes"

Other archon having twins

Zhobgli is suspicious

(Plus the god of eternity saying his story is not yet over)

“~twin where have you been~”

it’s still pretty interesting that Zhongli doesn’t have a ‘twin’

it is very clear one of the main themes of genshin is family especially between that of siblings (twins)

the traveler is the twin and all of the archons -the main characters of their respective regions have “twins”.

Venti has the nameless bard, Ei and Makoto, Nahida and Rukkhadevata, Furina and Focalors. These are characters that look identical but live very different lives.

A core part of each archon is their relationship with their respective twin. Ei struggled to move on after Makoto died, Rukkha was everything Nahida dreamed of being, Focalors made Furina play a part for 500 years. I am unsure of the dynamic of Venti and his bard but it’s pretty easy to assume he gave his life great meaning and considering he looks just like him he never could move or wanted to forget what he looked like.

So the fact Zhongli doesn’t have anybody with that kind of connection is really odd lol. I've complained so many times like “Zhongli!! where is your silly clone!” and he refuses to answer my calls. Rex Lapis is represented by silk flowers but they grow in pairs but where is Rex Lapis’ pair? Where is the moon to his beautiful sun???

Some people argue a more metaphorical twin for Zhongli is Rex Lapis/the Exuvia. The point of the Liyue archon quest was Zhongli stepping down from a role he has had for thousands of years and considering the way he talks about Rex Lapis/geo archon (he always refers to him in third person) I believe Zhongli sees him as a separate person entirely. So losing Rex Lapis was like losing his twin. Casting his exuvia aka body double on a crowd of people and burying Rex Lapis was Zhongli’s conclusion with his “twin”. He ended his reign and made peace with his life.

But at the same time I feel that interpretation is so ehhhh. Like all of the twins we’ve seen were their own person with their own thoughts and feelings. Like yeah furina and focalors were once the same person but that was no longer the case when focalors brought out the scissors and said act woman.

Let’s get venti and zhongli out of the way cause they are a little weird from the rest of the seven but we’ve never met “Rex Lapis” and then he doesn’t have a human form like the rest of them. We have talked or at least heard the voices of the “other twin” . We met rukkha, we heard makoto and neuvi let us see focalors.

A big part of the archons is their relationship with their other half but Zhongli’s stories most always focus on someone else-a different god a different entity there is just so little of what we know about him comes from his own mouth.

Besides when you look at the visual symbolism then all the archons are represented by the moon and shadows. They live in the shadows of the "twin" if almost haunted by them. They cannot live up to their glory or they are forced to be someone they are not. These 'twins' are the reason for our archon's (hell even the traveler's) existence and journey, it is why they continue forward until they eventually find new meaning in life.

However Morax is always represented by the sun and light, and you could argue that Zhongli is the moon to Rex Lapis’ sun but if you look as his symbols -his golden eyes, the golden light he uses to save xiao and his interactions with the people of Liyue he still holds that warmth.

Next the big revelation for Zhongli was his relationship with Liyue itself, not himself. We could argue that the existence of "Rex Lapis, The Geo Archon" was intertwined with that relationship but Zhongli's narrative is stepping down and taking his hands off Liyue not any personal struggle. If Liyue had failed his test he would've remained the geo archon for the foreseeable future.

That means, Liyue itself is more of his twin, it is something that plays a huge role in his identity and leaving it behind and moving forward is the core of his arc. It is Liyue that made Zhongli play the part of the geo archon, it is Liyue that made him turn on friend or foe if they were are threat, Liyue and its people are the motivation for everything Rex Lapis did. Morax’s love for his people defined every action that he did as the geo archon.

Long story short ehh if push comes to shove I can accept Zhongli's dragon clone as his twin but I would also argue against it because it doesn’t hold thematic weight that the other twins do!

In the end, we can still safely assume that zhongli’s twin has gone awol but then who are they!!! Each archon has a pair that is meant to parallel the relationship between our travelers Aether and Lumine but where is such a twin???

I've talked so much about Zhongli about everything but Ei mentions in her voice lines that she believes his story isn't anywhere finished. She even talks about him in Zhongli's teaser way back in 2020, "in his long life he has met countless people and shall meet countless more still. As they say: waters change course but mountains move not". Its kind of neat the god of eternity says your story isn't over

I may be a delusional zhongli stan but I don't think it is farfetched to say he is veryyy suspicious. We don't know his true form, we don't know the truth of his contracts, we don't know if he's hiding a twin, and the goddess of eternity herself believes his journey will continue forward.

Could he be missing a twin because he's not from Teyvat? What if he lost his counterpart a long time ago? What if we have simply not met Zhongli's twin and the two of them are separated from each other much like the traveler? I always believed Zhongli kind of crashed into Teyvat like a meteor or shooting star and that's why he's kind of weird but it could be possible that Zhongli's counterpart is just not here either long dead or with a different destiny.

Fun fact to add to Zhongli’s weirdness; Did you know Zhongli and Neuvillette are the only playable characters whose constellations are different from their character quest? Zhongli's constellation is Lapis Dei but his story quest is Historia Antiqua, much like Neuvillette's constellation is Leviathan Judicator but his story quest is called Diluvies. Which is weird cause Venti has the same constellation as Zhongli (Carmen Dei) but Venti's quests line up. Like is it a dragon thing but why?

Then most of the original archons croaked during the cataclysm and Venti went into a coma. How did Zhongli get out of the damn thing unscathed? Why didn't he lose his twin or die and shit?

I know in my soul Zhongli is hiding the secrets of the world in that pretty little head of his. He's just a bum and refuses to share it with the crowd.

#zhongli #archons #genshin impact #noooo #this is too long again #this was definetly a yap session #but like really though where is his twin!#where is zhongli 2 #like ive seen so many people at least on twitter say zhongli's twin is his exuvia and like *shrug* SURE I GUESS #but its still so different from the others UNLESS you count the exuvia as Liyue itself which is rather metaphorical then the physical twin #speaking of which what the fuck is the god of contracts #freedom eternity wisdom justice war and love are all common abstract concepts and normal things for gods to be #what the hell is contracts like if it were truth or power or even promise that would make sense #but contracts are not nearly as abstract as the rest of them fuckers #maybe if it were relationships instead of contracts but that sounds rather romantic doesn't it?#me writing this: uhh where do i put a page break this time #long story short he's weird!!!#zhongli is super weird!!!#why is all his fucking shit cubes!#also if we consider zhongli and exuvia a twin what fucking parallel is that to traveler UNLESS you look at it as the final stage #and you know during the lantern rite event paimon writes a little blurb about the regions and is like we've been through the land of winds #and for liyue it is the final destination of a star SEE HOW i can connect this back to star!zhongli but also the traveler is a star #maybe the end of the traveler's journey is letting go of their twin like zhongli let go of liyue

a piece of advice to any younger freelancers: always demand part of the payment before finishing the commission, or, better yet, if both you and the client are american, get their name and address. you need this information to file a small claims lawsuit when, inevitably, someone doesn't pay up

#currently dealing with a Client from Hell #if you're in a common law county or the EU look up the equivalent because the law may be on your side #what qualifies as a 'contract' is very generous in US small claims law #an email with terms does the trick

Laila I hard agree with your tags RE: Italiano leaving. I’ve seen people joke that Danny must have fucked his girlfriend or something but I don’t think it’s anything personal (in that way)

If I had to guess I’d say it was something big, maybe business/money related. I kind of hoped Daniel just realized what a shit trainer Michael was (I can rant on his bs practices all day, but he pushes some unsustainable and sometimes outright dangerous ideas like extensive fasting, etc. etc. which have always rubbed me the wrong way). BUT I think in reality Daniel hasn’t really acknowledged/processed how NOT OKAY that whole McLaren stint was for him. He still talks to Zak, all the McLaren mechanics, friendly with Lando and Oscar, so if it was just “Michael let him down and wasn’t putting his best interests first in McLaren” I think Danny would have just let it go.

One thing he’s not stupid about though, is his money/business (and also, what a lot of people don’t acknowledge, his privacy). We don’t really hear a lot about Danny post-season. So I feel maybe the fall out had to do with Italiano going on podcast after podcast talking about Daniel and then also (presumably) raking in money for it. Again, all allegedly completely-just-going-from-my-own-vibes, Michael Italiano do not sue me

I do think there was a catalyst that led to their break-up sometime after the last race last year, because if I remember correctly, Jack (Doohan) had mentioned that Michael would be training him for F2 while still working with Daniel during his year off. But then, this never happened and MI ended up going to AT. All I'm saying is, whether something happened or someone sat Daniel down and talked to him about it, Daniel on his own would never have realised how harmful whatever MI preached was. And i think whatever it was, really hit Daniel hard because every time he's talked about coming back this year, whether it's the lone wolf comment or other things, he's constantly talked about how he's approaching training differently and how he's realised prioritising his recovery and rest is important.

Regarding your comment about whether Michael wasn't putting Daniel's interests first at Mclaren, I think a lot of people got the same impression, especially if you go by his comments on his Pitstop appearance this year. The way he framed it kind of implied that he was annoyed at Daniel's decision to take a year off and there was the implication that this derailed his own career and aspirations, which fair enough.

But coming to whether it could have been money/business-related, I feel like this is more like it. You do get the impression he was more in it for the money and the fame. Forget the part about dming girls and the cheating allegations, but the side-hustle part of it?? With the F1 season getting more and more hectic and trainers like Brad and Angela leaving because they can't keep up with the strain and time demand of the new calendar, how can you have the time to dedicate to other private clients? To me, it just means you're not really giving your 100% to the driver you are meant to support. Then, there was the mask debacle thing in 2020, his whole 'merch' collection and the way he continued to make money off his posts of Yuki this year.

And then the privacy thing - I know just because Daniel looks like such an open guy that people don't realise how private he is. Even during the whole mclaren debacle, not one person from his side ran their mouth in the press when you constantly have the family or friends of other drivers making snide comments or liking posts they shouldn't. And then, there's mr. Italiano making appearances in dodgy podcasts and obviously whatever he says, people are bound to take it as him meaning it about daniel because that's who they associate him with. And then the whole leaking of his private medical info, coming after the one and sole sighted interaction of theirs must have come as such a betrayal to Daniel

#just randomly remembered that in one of those mclaren videos from 2021 of what a formula driver eats in a day MI signed one of the meal plan #as director??? like who the hell do you think you are??#it just feels like he was always in it for making his own name rather than being the support act he was hired to be #and it's not like he wasn't getting paid well #apparently the figures leaked from daniel's renault contract showed that renault was paying daniel 100k for physio and medical expenses and #im sure MI was getting quite a fair share of that #if daniel was not personally paying him more on top of that #yeah anyway whatever happened between them was HUGE for them to apparently not even look at each other anymore #tagging it in case people have this drama filtered out #michael italiano #anon.txt

who tore off Cas's wings and for what?

oh I suppose I mentioned this vaguely but never in great detail so... Cas lore dump time🔥

The slightly more elaborate but still short version is that Cas, in his time in Cania, was forced to work for an organisation of succubi and incubi that snatched him and his brother when they were children to pay off their father's debts and mishaps (because their father sold them out without their knowledge while he was still alive). The organisation was directly working under Mephistopheles which... basically bound him to Mephistopheles for life so he kept striving to try and kill Mephistopheles for his freedom.

At this time (and also mind you Cas is really REALLY young still for a devil) Raphael was already in the whole "trying to get the crown from his father thing" obviously where…. I believe he would’ve at least done a few attempts at (indirectly) yoinking the crown himself... and failing, clearly😭 Cas got involved in one of these with the hope of snatching it himself to kill Mephistopheles in the process but got in over his head to the extent where it came to an actual confrontation and Cas got his ass handed to him.

Mephistopheles ripped out his wings in a naked, public display to disgrace him as some simple incubus that thought he could fight him and then also cursed him to rot away from the inside and die slowly and painfully

#blakemail #if ur wondering what happened after that #the simplified version is that he managed to drag his ass out of the Hells just to technically die on the mortal plane anyways. rip lil bro #where he was then pieced back together by Bhaal (which also freed him from the contract because he DIED) but in return bound to Bhaal #by blood and stuff. he was qutie literally reborn and went from one type of servitude to the next LMFAOO #and in my humble opinion. just because I can't take Bhaal seriously....#he just really wanted to have a Cambion as a Bhaalspawn because he thought it'd make a follower finally strong enough to fulfill his plan #too bad this one doesnt fucking listen... ever #i need to start tagging these as cas lore or something for anyone that may care oughhh #cas lore

i'll never forgive mnh making chungha wanting to give up on being an idol to the point she just wanted to go study abroad and get away from the industry and i can't imagine how bad they made her feel to the point that it was something she considered

#the fact that she didn't believe people were waiting for her #or that people were excited to see her teasers for the new company coming out #is so sad #i wish that company nothing but hell 😭#they are so evil it's beyond insane to me #that even we knew that even before the shit they decided to pull today #but if there's anything it made me realize is that #they tried to make her feel small and like #that she wasn't successful enough to keep going with her career #when so many people love her even outside of her fandom #and a fresh start is good but it's so upsetting to me #that even after she ended the contract #they are still taking things away from her #tris.txt

What kind of love are you?

Violet: Love as a Threshold

Your love does not ask for much. Your love does not take. Your love is free, and unquestioned, and here for wherever needs it. When you fall in love, it is as gentle as a breath in the night. It is quiet, and it is effortless. It is tender. If your love was a house, it would readily welcome all who come through. If your love was a hearth, it would warm the hands of whoever stopped by, whether for a day, a month, a year, or forever. When you fall for someone, it is without strings, without conditions, without need. You love for the sake of loving, for the sake of caring for those who need it. You love with a giver’s heart and a giver’s hands and are made so much stronger for it. Being loved by you is to always feel at home. Your love may not always be well-received by those unprepared to linger, but it is unforgettable all the same

The second I saw this answer for Violet I knew it was perfect. Their entire romance with Astarion was about patience. Waiting for him to realize that he's truly safe with them, that they doesn't expect anything from him, that he is in the lead here and they'll follow only when he's ready and okay. And waiting without judgement, Violet knows these things take time and they were more than willing to wait, to be there, to just sit and exist with him while he figures shit out. And when he truly let Violet in, I like to think it was like with a comforting sigh, the feeling of coming home, that feeling when all pressure is lifted and you can just *exist* without fear, without judgement.

Violet has seen violence and hatred and yet chooses to show up for those they love as a place of calm and stability, without judgement, without expectations. Violet's love is patient, it doesn't expect anything back but will give you everything just because we all deserve to feel warmth and safety. They feel so much warmth in their heart that they were able to help Astarion get to a place where he feels safe. I think even if they didn't fall in love or end up together, Violet would have still shown up for him in the same way. They know what suffering is like, they've gone through enough of it themselves and come out the other end alive. They know how much it hurts, but also how much easier it is with someone to lean on.

Sinbad was such a weird film tho, like they wanted to adapt it but basically adapted Damon and Pythias instead, before deciding it was going to be this comedic love triangle...so like it has absolutely nothing in common to the source material askdjfh but also it does fuck hard b/c bisexual love triangle. <3 <3 <3

#they were riding that weird orientalist aladdin high i guess #idk maybe they thought it'd be a smash hit b/c it was in the same vein as 1001 nights but also #the commitment to the source material at an all time low #but that being sad i was hooked on that romance as a kid #it stuck with me #the epic highs and lows of ur childhood best friend putting his life on the line for you #meanwhile ur on an epic fucking adventure with his fiance and she's hot as hell and cooler than you could have ever imagined #but ur also in a contract with a malevolent n powerful deity who expects u to not only betray ur best friend #but also his fiance and who u just realized ur crushing on kinda hard #and everyones lives depends on you #but you've also spent ur whole life fucking and trucking and running away from responsibility #that you have no idea if you can change this late into the game #maybe you're no better than the infamous pirate you've built yourself to be #but also #maybe you could be better #for your lover back home who's life rests in ur hands #for his fiance who is fighting alongside you putting herself at equal risk #for your found family and friends #for yourself even #ughhhhh <3 <3 #throwing up #they didn't know how fucking romantic this shit was b/c #but i did #i do #i see u #okay im done here
