Every Dickmaster needs a Clitmistress. Adam is dead and a hallucination now, so Lute can finally tell him...the thing. Oh, yeah, Abel learned what it was: Fifty Shades of the Bible.
Sometimes people in the main subs have a really bad attitude toward Lute. They act as if she's some kind of exception who was inherently evil and sadistic from the moment she was created, as if she woke up already wanting to kill people, or as if she's simply a rotten apple.
But not only do we have no evidence for that, we actually have evidence pointing in the opposite direction: she became this way because she was surrounded by a system and by people who allowed her to be this way.
Adam and Sera are the main reasons she turned out the way she did. They allowed Lute to continue her worst behaviors without correcting or disciplining her, and they kept enabling her until it was no longer convenient for them.
Adam was the biggest enabler of all. He wanted a ruthless exterminator who would kill any sinner she came across, and he never tried to curb Lute's sadism. If anything, he encouraged it and participated in it himself. He could have done something, but he chose not to.
And Sera isn't much better. She could have put a stop to Lute's behavior at any point, but instead she chose to distance herself from the exterminations because she couldn't handle the weight of her own decision. Are we really supposed to believe she couldn't stop Lute or prevent Adam from encouraging her? That's impossible. Sera had all the authority necessary to discipline, control, or restrain them if she wanted to. Instead, she buried her head in the sand.
And now that Heaven has changed, she's bothered that Lute is still the same rabid attack dog she's always been, even though it apparently never occurred to her to rein her in from the beginning.
I'm not excusing anything Lute does. She's responsible for her own role in the exterminations and for the sadistic pleasure she takes in them. But acting as if she simply decided on her own to become this way is naïve and ignores the fact that there were people who could have stopped her and corrected her behavior long ago, but now it's far too late.
Wash your uniform.
Yeah, yeah, “but I want to be a fierce crusader!” Cool. Fierce crusaders still don’t show up to holy war looking like they got dragged through a Pride Ring dumpster and lost a fight with floor dust
Exorcist rule one: look badass
Rule two: kill demons
Rule three: don’t make me smell whatever the fuck you rolled in before doing rule two

I disappear for ONE damn season and apparently every dipshit with Wi-Fi decides it’s time to start a war with my Lieutenant.
Lute, put me down as present. I may have been briefly, unfairly, repeatedly stabbed into a medically inconvenient sabbatical, but I can still recognise a fucking disaster when I see one.
You all really waited until the First Man was off-screen to get bold? Cute. Terrible strategy. The Exorcists have been left unsupervised for five minutes and now r/hazbin looks like Hell’s comment section after somebody says redemption works.
Lieutenant says we ride. I say polish your spears, fix your posture, and stop whining in the replies.
Heaven’s finest are clocking back in.

It’s summer, bitches. Grab your sunscreen, swim trunks, cold drinks, and a volleyball you’re ready to lose at, because we’re going to the beach.
No Extermination plans. No meetings. No demons ruining the vibe. Just sun, sand, the Exorcists, and Heaven’s hottest commander looking objectively incredible in swimwear.
Lute keeps yelling “Be careful, Adam!” like I haven’t been the blueprint for reckless perfection since humanity started.
Beach volleyball at noon. Pick your team wisely. I’m not carrying losers twice.

It's a very flawed show but it's got derranged goth girls in it
