God you just know Husk was planning on surprising Angel with the cake under the bar and had trained Nuggets to pop out of it to make him laugh except there's a big hole in the side when he takes it out and a pink trail leading around the bar to a frosting covered piggy in a sugar coma

The way he immediately covered it back up and that it said "for snake eyes only" it was 100% her nudes

Well his sinner form seems to be more shaped around how he died and from the looks of it he’s not necessarily shark-like he just seems to like em a lot which is valid

It’s one fucked up commentary on the criminal justice system that directly profits off of penalizing a group of people as subhuman on moral grounds and will take advantage of any form of disorder or tragedy to keep that steady supply of scapegoat and labor and justify inhumane treatment

Can you believe folks on Twitter don’t realize we’re clearly joking
November 19, 2025 at 10:14 PM
This is what Sam said about it on Twitter which is pretty interesting imo - a virus does kill healthy cells before taking over after all

Thank you!! A lot of it comes from my own struggle and from my feelings on the prison pipeline :)

It’s like they weren’t even on Deviantart and Tumblr in the 2010s like yeah that’s where the twinks in the bow ties live and the show’s just one big love letter to that era of art culture (also you think THAT’S bad design?? honey go see the bill cipher gijinkas folks drew)

So I do think because of that Husk’s addiction did have something to do with his rise and fall as an overlord seeing as Husk’s solo song was about him on a bender affected by the disease he’s very much still struggling with

I will say tho my sister works at an alcohol and gambling addiction recovery center/detox facility and she loved how season 2 handled Husk’s addiction because it showed the highs and lows of the cyclic nature of a gambling addiction and alcohol dependence
November 19, 2025 at 9:38 PM
Yeah this is all projection at the end of the day - I just really like how Angel and Husk are both mirrors into how society and the US justice system treats addiction as a moral failing and ultimately screws over anyone it can as long as it can frame it as your fault so they don’t have to help you
November 19, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Husk is gonna be more in line with what you’re thinking - he did some fucked up shit before his fall and is fully aware of this and his journey is to realize it doesn’t have to be that way forever he can also get better

If we read the series as an entire commentary on the harms of punitive justice and the benefits of restorative, I think Angel is a person who started out needing help and the broken system just destroyed him like a lot of small time felon addicts who can’t escape the prison cycle while-
November 19, 2025 at 9:32 PM
It’s less like Angel being treated like a victim means he has less autonomy and more like it’s a stand in for folks who genuinely get fucked over by a system that actively wants them dead because of their condition or felons who get worse when fed to the criminal justice system beast without help
November 19, 2025 at 9:31 PM
See I like that aspect too, I just think they’re tackling that with Husk’s character, who’s been hinted to have done awful things in the grips of his addiction during his time as an overlord - Angel’s the metaphor for folks who get screwed over because the system blames them for their issues

Charlie put him down for a nippy nap and put on his favorite duck show before she called her mom trust
November 19, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Lol he's not wearing his wings anymore 'cause Husk burned one of em off
November 19, 2025 at 9:10 PM
