Comment on Sera tries to do better

    I will say that in this fic I am sticking to the trope of the Archangels being God's children and considered members of Heaven's "Royal Family" and all of Samael's siblings would love to have him back. However, there are other Angels who would disagree with this and some of them are quite high in the hierarchy as well and quite influential. I figure some of these Angels were either rather neutral to Samael before the Fall or just didn't like him for their own reasons. The rumors and stories don't really help, but those only have more sway on the younger Angels who were created after the Fall or the ones who really didn't know Samael. A lot of the older Angels are aware that Humans get things wrong and rumors can spread and get really inflated, however, a few who may feel more positively about Samael may be a bit more cautious now since some of these stories could have a kernel of truth and who knows how Hell's influence has effected him. Of course, Lucifer, Satan and Beelzebub getting mixed up in stories doesn't help much either.

    Also, even though Lucifer is sorry for all the terrible things that came of it, I think that deep down he does not regret giving humans free will. I think he may be at least peripherally aware of some of the good that has come from it, Hellborn do go to Earth and I am sure sinners do tell stories. I also don't think he could truly be repentant for the action because it led to Charlie's creation and he can never regret that.

    One thing that really bugs me about the cannon story in Hazbin is that Lucifer and Lilith did give Eve the fruit with the best of intentions. They had no idea what would happen, if they had been told I bet they would have scrapped that idea and thought of something else. I'm not saying their shouldn't be some consequences for what happened, but eternal punishment seems pretty harsh. Let's just say, I wouldn't be surprised if it came out in a later season that Hell needed to be made and an angel needed to be tied to it to keep it under control and Lucifer was either set up to take the Fall or just the one unlucky enough to 'spring the trap' to be put in that position.

    I do wonder how much cannon wise Heaven is able to see into Hell. I mean, we do see some scenes during the trial, but that was only in the Pride Ring. Can Heaven see into the other rings? Can they spy on Lucifer or is he powerful enough that he can automatically block them if he wants to?

      Mmm I agree with you that the punishment was too harsh but I also think they Angels were someone has to rule it and seeing that Lucifer and Lilith created it it is the most fair that they do it instead of some Angel who is innocent in this, though I will hate Heaven if they prove that your theory is correct. Just be honest man.

      Also all the reasons you give are reasonable so I do wonder how the conflict will go, both here and in canon
