beautiful princess disorder moment ๐
obsessed with aldo bellini. he wants to reform the church but wonโt carry his own luggage. he organizes secret stairwell conspiracies. he wants women in the curia (heโs never spoken to a woman in his life). heโs worsties with the cuntiest evil vape user of all time. he wonโt say he wants to be pope but he has his name picked out. heโs a nervous wreck. heโs practical and clever. heโs too practical and too clever. he has the best ideas for what heโd do as pope but heโd be a terrible pope. he wants progress but heโs horribly flawed. he was even bald
imo kai (who i think was probably bi and was definitely dating jennifer) wanted to be with mickey because she had just witnessed her partner die gruesomely and was struggling with the concept of mortality for herself & her loved ones, which sheโd never really faced before.
she wanted mickey because he would always be reprinted and she wouldnโt have to suffer the pain of losing him forever. she would be โsafeโ from facing that grief and pain again because mickey canโt die permanently, as she sees it.
also, heโs a sweet guy.
One of the things that confused me about Mickey 17 was Kai's character cause what
I thought the barebones of her character was interesting, a harsh and steadfast individual, who is compassionate but not actually easy to get close to, and how is unwaveringly loyal to the system but does not care for the leader of it (honestly she's exactly the type of character I like)
And then she tried to jump on Mickey, which was especially confusing cause isn't she a lesbian
Like I genuinely thought that the dinner scene were they continually called her and Jennifer friends was meant to show how little the Marshall's cared or understood the people they ruled because it really seemed like they were trying to say that she and Jennifer were more than friends and Kenneth who hadn't even got Jennifer's name right or Yifa who only cares about image and not at all about people, just didn't care enough to know or even consider that they were more than friends
And sure, she clearly cared about how Mickey was being mistreated but I thought that was because she was a good person
So to go from the dinner scene to her trying to jump Mickey was whiplash
And then the last scene we see her in was one where a different female character was draping themselves all over her
So I'm just confused
And you can argue that Kai is bi, entirely possible, but then why Mickey, because if she is bi and was dating Jennifer than why did she try and jump Mickey after the dinner party where she is clearly still upset about her girlfriend's death, and once again why Mickey, what about Mickey is attractive to her
But then if she's not bi and she and Jennifer are just friends, what's with the lesbian subtext, why include it, at all
I'm just confused
What was the point of it all
"when I think of fiction written for an adult audience (besides porn) I think of something that has nuance and complexity. For a premise that's centered around redeeming sinners in Hell, it could've been the perfect opportunity to explore moral questions, like: why is this person in Hell? Do they deserve to be in Hell? Why would a sinner want to be redeemed if they seemingly enjoy causing chaos and violence? However, the only "adult" thing about Hazbin Hotel is the constant swearing and immature sex jokes. Which is also the reason there are so many minors in the fandom: that's exactly how middle schoolers and high schoolers talk! And there is little to no nuance in the story. I doubt this will change in later seasons because we all know how Vivienne writes her stories."
