Loved this installment so much! Esp how it changes the typical mental image of Hell.

Oh, the followers of the Devil being unapologetically honest about the whole 'bringing humanity down' was highkey cool.

The description of the Devil was something else, and it was nice to see him NOT dressed in an all-black suit for once.

Would love to have that power of his actually, to move without moving. Life would be so much easier, hehe.

And Jacek, hon, you're not really subtle, and the Devil definitely enjoyed hugging Fiona. Heh, wonder what he just 'had to know' ;)

Yeah, the worshippers are pretty straightforward about their goal. But they wanna do it slowly and painfully. Basically give the world the most agonizing death imaginable. I don't know what I think about Jacek doing that but it's not my place to criticize

And it was super awesome (and super like you) to go 'woah that's cool, tell me more' instead of those typical judgmental reactions. Speaking of judgmental... We have a Karen as receptionist, AND her lips are sewn shut? Hah!

I had two theories on what the devil wanted to know...

  1. If Jacek still loves Fiona.
  2. What it felt like to hug someone without a soul.

  1. I wonder what he figured.

  2. I'm actually a pretty great hugger! I'm little and soft, I fit well against most backs and chests... But he was being super gross about it. So ofc I didn't give him the actual, good experience. Shoulda just asked.

Yeah I wonder what the devil thought about 1 when he actually jumped and the devil had to calm him down lmao

he definitely definitely had to know if jacek still had feelings for you. and the answer was a resounding yes.

She has no soul, and he has no heart. The two of them really are a pair, aren't they?

But what if he helps her get her soul back? 🤔

Thr33Littl3Monk3ys t1_j4m2ggh wrote

I hope he does. But can he regrow a heart?

Well if the Grinch can make his bigger then I don't see why not, lol! But I'm still wondering if Fiona can give him a small piece of her soul so he can have a heart again

She has to get the white rabbit back first, to do that...

But maybe like...a rabbit's foot? lol He can hang it like a keychain inside his chest cavity...

Ooo those are such cool theories! I had initially just thought something like 'oh, he can probably sense if she likes Jacek through idk non-verbal cues or smth' but now that you mention these...

  1. Very possible, esp cause of that 'unrestrained amusement' of his
  2. Jacek just found out though, so he couldn't really have told the Devil yet? What am I saying, he's the friggin Devil. Yeah, this would be really cool. But, hmm, does the Devil himself have a soul?

chalaismyig t1_j4lnds1 wrote

I feel that the devil could sense that Fiona didn't have a soul so no need for Jacek to tell him. And the devil having a soul..hmm idk! Do angels really need souls? In the Christian mythology, the soul goes to heaven so maybe the devil is just a soul with no need for a body? That'd explain why he can freely change his form, imo

No-Sympathy-630 t1_j4lrltt wrote

That makes sense, yeah. So the appearance of a soul is an 'acquired taste' haha, even more so if it's the Devil's. Anywho, even souls prefer sweatpants lmao

Commutes would barely exist if we could all do that. AMAZING.

I KNOW, RIGHT?! I'd save so much from travel expenses and buy all the cheesesteaks I could!

What's a cheesesteak? Is it just a steak with cheese melted on top or something?

superdaveyboy t1_j4op8c4 wrote

Pretty much in sandwich form. Thinly sliced beef topped with cheese on a hoagie, usually with onions and peppers. Delicious. I wonder how hell’s cheesesteaks compare to Philly’s

No-Sympathy-630 t1_j4op2yt wrote

Not quite. Picture a hot dog, except the sausage is replaced by sliced steak. And melted cheese (so much melted cheese)

Writerhowell t1_j4ozuoo wrote

Ah, okay. We never really had steaks when I was a kid; we couldn't afford it. Then I became a vegetarian. I'm not even sure that cheesesteaks are a thing in Australia.

No-Sympathy-630 t1_j4pp1tz wrote

Oh, well, I've just turned 18 and I've had steak once so far, so yeah, it's a rare luxury. And cheesesteaks aren't a thing where I'm at either, but I've seen them on street food shows and I know a guilty pleasure when I see one :P Oh and my dad swears by them from his time working at a restaurant, so that's there too

Cheesesteaks are a Philly thing. Purely American shit from what I understand.

The devil just needed to know it jacek so held a flame for her. He jumped up protectively, so obviously does
