Tru, i think Sera is more of a morally gray character. Though it’s clear Emily saw her decision as evil

@@Mary-Aura Pretty much. Can't blame Emily though since Sera is basically letting Adam and the exorcist commit genocide of human souls (demons but still) which does contradict what heaven supposedly stands for: redemption and second chances.

@@Mary-Aura Exactly, and I can definitely see that! It would feel like a betrayal to someone like Emily, who admired her and honestly? I also can’t blame her.

@@strawberrycanoe Yep. Seems like Emily looked up to Sera as a sort of wise mother figure until Adam accidentally revealed that they've been exterminating demons. Worst of all in Emily's eyes is that Sera knows about the extermination and actually encourages it.

@@Mary-Aura I personally see Sera as the _embodiment_ of a Sunday Christian. (With a dash of lying about her orders coming directly from the Big Man himself. I can’t imagine Hazbin’s God didn’t expect some sort of rehabilitation program considering angels can fall and humans can fall, and risen humans [winners] can basically spend vouchers on another person so they get an assured spot in Heaven [HB’s Cherub episode], and that is probably as corrupt of a system as Gotham is as a City.) Sera isn’t just “do as I say not as I do” but she’s actively looking down on the souls _she_ deems unworthy from a morality she seems to have come to on her own. Sure, there are a lot of Sinners who “belong” down there (Angel for how many people he iced as a Mafia Prince, and Alastor… because of his _entire_ deal, Husker probably for cheating and stealing, not just his vices. But someone like Vaggie, who spared what seems to be either a Sinner child ((????)) or a Hellborn she wasn’t supposed to touch/harm anyway? She didn’t deserve what Lute did to her-especially if it was a Hellborn kid, I don’t know if Viv’s statement on “Sinners can’t have children” is still canon or not, because the Hellborn are protected from the extermination-Vaggie was literally following orders) but those who don’t, _really_ don’t. And Sera, who seems to be just flat out willfully ignorant, is acting like there is always a good reason. What rules did Vaggie break? None of it was a Hellborn. And showing mercy… I get that, yanno, Passover is a thing, and Angels aren’t kind and loving and are the Heavenly Host to God as His army but… Lute went waaaaay overboard. Not to mention the behaviors Sera would abhor in a Sinner: takes great pleasure in the torture of Sinners, is constantly scheming and plotting, believes that the suffering of others is funny, feels ordained by _God Himself_ to find his entertainment by erasing _his own_ descendants, is… actually I think that last part actually makes Adam _worse_ than Alastor. If Alastor _had_ a descendant (let’s just stick it to he was being performative for the times, and took a wife and did his “husbandly duties” which resulted in a child-regardless of how we might or might not HC Dad!Alastor) I do not believe he would find joy in harming his own flesh and blood, and would be revolted by the concept of, even as a demon, the concept of hurting his great great grand children should his line persist. That _one_ tiny difference makes Adam far more “holy war” and flat out more vile than even an unrepentant Radio Demon. A demon that Sera would condemn to erasure. But Adam? He’s “fine” he’s not only innocent and trust worthy, he’s saying that his morality aligns with Heaven’s. And yet… his morality is _worse_ than Alastor’s or Vox’s (and possibly Valentino’s but I will give Adam, as first of his kin, the benefit of the doubt there). Sera approves of Adam’s beliefs. That means she can’t/shouldn’t judge basically any Sinner since some of the worst Overlords are less corrupt than he is. She is complacent and a liar. Sera also is… ungodly levels of arrogant. Which is _fascinating_ because according to the irl bible, Pride is the root of all evil (HMMMMM), and while subtle, the arrogance, the ego, the condescension, pretension [which has a synonym for it going pretension > conceit > arrogance > pride], are all traits of an extremely proud creature, to its very detriment. And while the Bible will tell you that money is the root of all evil, when really the coveting of physical goods, or money, is the problem. That is not Greed. Greed only desires things. Pride is many other sins wrapped into one, particularly Envy, Greed, Lust, and Wrath. It is the jealousy of those who want money turning from God instead of seeking God’s help to know that they can get money by working and following His path. Being complacent while tied into Pride, really is (I’m quoting a random Christian website) “[complacency] is apathy in motion, which is an oxymoron.” But in Sera’s case? She absolutely has Pride driven apathy. She doesn’t care for the Sinners who once were human. She doesn’t even really, when speaking to her Divine cohort, seem to care about the Winners either. She just is worried that Hell will overrun Heaven, due to Lucifer’s Pride. And yet her Pride, her Pride in herself and that she is right that Hell, Hellborn or Sinner, is going to invade Heaven and overthrow it. One can be Proud while also unsure. The extermination seems to be her [and possibly Adam’s] idea, and that it wasn’t run by God, ever. Pride caused the extermination. And on both ends. Lu thinks that, in his arrogance, no sinner wishes to do better, or got dealt a bad hand (Vaggie so far is the only one who hasn’t actively been a living human with a body count, and Charlie doesn’t count). Lu has a lot of pride around still being a seraphim. And it shows in how he treats Sinners. And how he was afraid to dream again after the Fall. So to me, Sera is _very_ evil (wouldn’t that be a twist: Sera is Roo, and has been just chilling in Heaven for thousands of years, biding her time until she can strike) because I’ve been in the position irl where people will shrug (I have severely hurt myself to the point of trying to get a clearly messed up joint back into place, and am a sobbing wreck) and just walk by (on a campus no less) and it’s not just the bystander effect. It’s apathy. Apathy mixed with hatred. The same way Sera sees herself as above basically every other angel there. Even other angels aren’t worth her time except to keep them in line. So I do think Sera is evil. I think she’s also hypocritical. And that she will do anything to either come out on top, or secure her position she feels she is entitled to. (Sorry for the essay! Writer by choice, English MA because I didn’t need a second language unlike my second love: History ((first science/math)) so I love picking apart character motivations.)

Emily: Lucifer? Is that you?

I think Lucifer should adopt Emily and then Emily and Charlie can be sisters ✨ cause she will be much happier at the hotel

​@@Mary-AuraThere are theories going around that Sera will kick Emily out of heaven and banish her to hell for challenging Heaven's rules, thus becoming a fallen angel.

@@dragonfire4527maybe, though i believe that if Emily were to fall it would be because she is sick of heavens lies and hypocrisy and chooses to reject them

@@Mary-Aura True. There's also a possibility that Emily will try to change Heaven's flawed system to prevent anymore Exterminations, maybe even with the help of Sir Pentious. But yeah it would make sense if she chooses to leave heaven because of their hypocrisy and zealous conviction to the extermination.

She really is 💪✨ . Yeah im also hoping for the fallen angel Emily arc!

If anyone should fall, it's Lute. Emily is the only true angel in heaven. Good, kind, and forward-thinking. Heaven needs her. She is what's called an internal reformist

@@guillermosuarez271true

​@@guillermosuarez271 I agree but, I still feel like Emily will fall because she is against the exorcists, and since she stood up to sera in ep 6, I feel like she will continue to rebel against the idea and fall just as lucifer did

It’s possible she will get a redemption arc where she realizes the error of her ways!

Or she tries to cover it up because she’s already on thin ice now that Heaven knows she’s been signing permission slips for annual mass genicides since the beginning of time and now there is living proof that none of it was necessary and everything she said in the courtroom to justify the exterminations was lies of someone complacent in multiple war crimes.

Well we don't really know yet but mark my word she will do something we will hate her so bad

Emily: 👀

Emily: Really? Then what should I believe? You or my lying eyes?

But Sera revealed her true nature Sera: No and you know what I never loved you Micheal not Emily Exorcists (as they all got out even Adam and Lute) eradicate them all

Emliy: ’’SHUT UP SERA IM TELLING LUCFIER!!!’’

@@tiaclubb8161*Emily in Hell* Emily: Ivory old b*tch, too afraid to talk to Lucifer about Extermination. *dark figure appears from the background* Zestial: Hello young one. Emily: ... *tries not to scream* Zestial: No need to be afraid, I am Zestial Morde. Oldest Overlord in the Pride Ring. Emily: Emily Seraphim.

This ✨

Emily is the absolute best and that’s a fact ❤️ And yeah that line goes hard fr 💪

But Lucifer was that snake

yeah, the only reason i see for this is that lucifer fell?

It’s not her song, she didn’t write, nor sing it

@@HelloKittyFanYT ik (• __ •)

this is so poetic 😭❤️ i love this

69th like 🎉🎉🎉

YES She's so amazing

APOY's son

I was mostly inspired by Maleficent w the purple and lime green. Its supposed to symbolize how Sera is “poisoning” Emily (pun intended)

@@Mary-Aura Hmm, poisoning her with her flawed ideology of sinners being irredeemable?

Not really! it’s mostly metaphorical - how basically Sera lies and manipulates Emily like a puppet

Lol 😂

@@Mary-Aura Hahaha couldn't help myself.

Emily is a cutie patootie but she isn’t afraid to stand up and fight back against injustice 💪

@@Mary-Aura I couldn't agree more, hopefully when season 2 comes out, we'll see how Emily's fate will become.

Sera isn’t evil nut totally innocent in my option, more did the wrong thing for the right reasons.

@@TheGuardianSoul Knowing Emily she might try to change Heaven's flawed system and maybe even protect Sir Pentious from either Sera or the Exorcist's (mainly Lute's) wrath. After all it seems like Lute cares more about exterminating sinners than actually protecting heaven.

@@dragonfire4527 True, however IF Emily does fall from grace, all because she wants to help Charlie with the redemption plan, what are the chances of Sera or (MOSTLY) Lute, attacking Emily before she falls, after she falls, or both? Like I said, we won't know for sure, once season 2 is released!

she just a cute cupcake need to protect 🥺🥺🥺

YESS😊

Ye i wanted her to give off the same vibe ✨

Exactly ✨

She's right. Adam didnt kill no One before sera decides to exterminate the sinners for fear they could be too much to fight if they reach the pearly gates in an attempt of Revolution.

Its a 🔥 song 💪

Ofc she slays 💅 ✨

Exactly 😔 It cant feel good finding out you were lied to and manipulated by your sister

@@Mary-Aura This shows how much the angel Seraph is a monster

@@Mary-Aura And like that evil commander of the city guard in Nimona's film

good comparison!

@@Mary-Aura Thank you I made this reference because both are evil and love to control and lie about the People

The credits are in the description

Ty!

Ooo :0 that would actually be rlly visually interesting. I like this idea very much!

​@@Mary-AuraI agree

I mean technically Emily is quite old, even though she is the youngest seraphim

Yeah I agree. But almost every fan thing shows her as an innocent child. @May-Aura

I know I watch the original first

Thank you! I really try to improve myself with each vid

Its more likely that she was just hiding the exterminations but that would be an interesting plot twist!

@@Mary-Aura Yeah! Personally, I say this because Sera just... you know realizing her own mistakes and helping Charlie would be too easy. I feel like she'd need to like, fall before she realized that she was protecting her own image more than she was protecting heaven. Whether aware of it or not, she was doing more for her image than heaven, as Emily was the one keeping the citizens happy.

The ist factually the best ✨

Yeah it’s pretty ironic that the way Sera took to protect heaven (aka the exterminations) lead to heaven actually being in danger since now sinners have access to angelic weapon and they also know angels can be hurt w them.

She is ✨

Its a matter of practice and also finding references (I personally used some frames from the show as inspiration for some drawings)

It could be that but this vid is mostly from Emilys perspective

She be kinda goofy sometimes ✨

Maybe someday😔

Tyyy!

I was mostly inspired by maleficent w the purple and the lime green combo!

@@Mary-Aura It's a good color combo.

It is possible that the winners (aka the human angels) are restricted to a specific ring like the sinners do in hell. And the exorcist angels who are “heaven born” (probably) mostly reside in another ring but can travel through any. Ofc that is if heaven has rings like Hell does which isn’t technically canon. But ofc the most probable answer is that it’s a classic example of a plot hole. 💀 lol

@@Mary-Aura lol more than likely but I mean we had that whole vaggie didn't know she can be killed with angelic weapons yet has a missing eye from one

Yeah when Carmilla asked Vaggie if she knew if Angels can be hurt and Vaggie said no i was like “Bruh you have a missing eye how tf did you not know 💀”

@@Mary-Aura I feel they forgot to watch the show and so caught in the plotline that they forgot about that detail

Ask our great overlord the youtube algorithm ✨

@@Mary-Aura 💀💔

I think she just doesnt see the sinner souls as being human

Sera is a morally gray character. Like they say “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” and i think that phrase perfectly encapsulates Sera’s character arc ✨

Thats a fair point of view, but i made this video to be from Emilys perspective - cause she views Sera as a monster for making that heartless decision and lying to her about it

​@@Mary-Aurayeah I agree 😊

Like Asgore.

@@Mary-Aura I understand! Just statin whether Sera's good or bad imho

Lol 😭

Tyyy!

Lucifer's action was worse than Sera's in my opinion.

Both of them are supposed to be morally gray characters. What they did wasn’t inherently “wrong” and from each of their perspectives they were doing something right. +Sir Pentious showed that some sinners are not that bad people and actually can be redeemed

@@Mary-Aura i see

Why would they want to be redeemed if they didn't even know it was an option? For all they know, they'll never be redeemed, so they might as well slip further into their vices and get new ones. It's a paradox. By treating sinners as irredeemable, you make them incapable of redemption

Sera definitely wants to protect heaven but ironically it was her actions that lead to demons finding out that angels can be killed which means she indirectly put Heaven in great danger as a result

Theres no need to be discouraged trust me ^^ (I feel that way too when i see the stunning artwork other people compared to my doodles 💀)

Oml.. thanks for replying! Thankkyyouu for the words of encouragement they mean a lot 🥰 🥹
