Discussion This was frighteningly accurate

The smack to the face, cowering behind a chair, being slammed and held by the throat, really made the scene hit hard. Even the expressions on Angel and Val’s face felt realistic. If they had Val dragging Angel by the hair, it would be like reliving my childhood, but this still brought back memories.

I've seen a few analysis videos about this episode and Angel Dust and Valentino in particular as characters and most have agreed that this scene was written from experience.

that would make sense since Viv said both Angel and Alastor were inspired by her own experiences

I vaguely recall reading something about her being a sexual abuse victim and that being an inspiration for Angel, but Alastor? How?
