How the hell am I supposed to beat Duke?

Velvette is an oddly fascinating character to me. All we know about her is that she died really young and that she died in the 21st century. I can’t wait for her backstory, because I really want to know how a twenty-thirty year old who died not even thirty years ago managed to become not only an overlord, but one of the most powerful sinners in hell. This alone to me makes her extremely compelling, and is proof that she is extremely powerful despite what we’ve seen from her.

How dare this guy lecture autistic people on the harmful stigmas associated with autism while using all of them?

Now, let’s get one thing straight here, The Vees are pure evil. They are all unanimously abusive, and at least two of them, you know which two, are rapists and sexual assaulters. There is nothing redeeming about them. Nothing, except one thing:

The Vees‘ care for each other. They are legitimate friends with and actually care for each other. Even Vox cares about them, he just lost his mind when he found he had been played by Alastor the entire time he had him and lost to him again. This Is what drove him away from Val and Vel in season two. But even despite how Vox treated them, they still never planned on betraying Vox up until he was ready to commit suicide and destroy the rest of pride with him. It was up until the last moment when Val and Velvette turned on Vox. This is what can redeem them: their care for one another.

This is what separates the Vees from Alastor. Alastor has no true feelings for anyone but himself. Niffty is perhaps the one character he actually is fond of. At least she will never betray him, which even Zestial might do, considering he’s an overlord. However, unlike the Vees, Alastor has never truly had anyone who he actually (platonically) loves. Everyone else, even Niffty, is just a toy. He is cold and ruthless, and the only person he drops this cold personality to is Lucifer, and that’s just because he has a hatred towards Lu that rivals Lute’s hatred of Vaggie and the rest of Hell.

This is what makes Al such a great villain: In a story of redemption, even Vox and Valentino can be redeemed because of their love (platonically and romantically) for one another. Alastor has no such weaknesses, and when it comes down to it, Alastor is ready to watch the universe burn just so he can have his fun and power. This is why I think Alastor can’t be redeemed, and why every character featured in this post are such great characters.

Edit: Removed the part about sacrificing Niffty and everyone else because it was apparently confirmed to be a bluff.

Likely still going to add some more color in the future.

There is no energy.

Even Valentino, who literally has zero respect for any of the other overlords, is so *fucking* embarrassed by Vox and it is so fucking funny.

In Hear My Hope, the only people we see using powers to suppress Vox’s death ray are overlords, Emily, Charlie, Husk, and Nifty. Charlie is the princess of Hell, so it makes sense that she has powers, and Husk was a former overlord. But the fact that Nifty is also participating… even when you look at Angel, Vaggie, Cherri, and Baxter, they’re not doing anything, they’re just there for moral support. But Nifty is using her powers to suppress the death ray, just like the other overlords. This leads me to believe that Nifty is an overlord, and I am hereby coining the term “The Bug Overlord.”

Vivziepop, if you ever use this term, you hereby owe me part of the profits this show makes.

My three favorites are Nifty, St. Peter, and Tom Trench.

My character is Vox. He always seemed just… boring to me. I was just bored that he was the main antagonist of the show. However, that changed when I saw Brighter. I immediately went from “eh” to “Oh wait, that’s kinda cool” to “Oh, that’s sick” to “Holy shit he’s awesome.” That’s what made me love Vox as a character.

Apologies if this is a frequently asked question.
