this is also true for alastor's smile. i need somebody to tear the stitches on his fuckin glasgow and turn his inevitable crashout into a full on breakdown next season lmao

i think vox might get the kind of painful character development that actually removes powers from them. like he might actually lose the ability to mind control people. the eye is sort of a symbol of all of his issues, right? and, narratively, needs to be removed as a symbol for development to occur

i find that sort of thing really interesting, where even seemingly very negative things can be reframed by context. everything occasionally has its place, etc
like maybe you cant "cure" it but you CAN work it into a shape thats healthier for you and everyone around you

Like the main idea seems to be that not all things "sinful" or "problematic" are inherently evil. Lucifer was right but the gift of free will was incomplete in a way that causes suffering and everyone needs to work out what becoming complete means for them by finding healthy ways to engage with sin

Yea, feel like the overall thrust of the story is that both heaven and hell are incomplete on their own and cannot represent the sum of all positive human experience without embracing what each has to offer. Hell is hell but heaven is shallow and empty without it
