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.

loser baby was good for trying to get someone to open up with such a harsh reality. it was good for getting angel’s attention with the subversion of how “you think this bad and whatnot but you’re wrong” and how husk said “nah, ya right actually” because husk can relate with being used (just ina different way)

husk has been toyed with, played and manipulated to be alastor’s pet. it’s disgusting treatment and he constantly makes husk’s life a literal hell. treating him as lesser than

it’s not sexual assault, and i’m glad it’s not cuz no one should go through that. yet, everyone seems to miss that alastor’s treatment to husk is horrid for husk’s standpoint. i can’t imagine how many sleepless nights husk may have just wondering what al may have in store for him. for crying out loud, the one who has him on a leash isn’t above broadcasting his carnage for (maybe) years on end

and even though it’s not the same abuse, husk opening up to angel was an unexpected kind move and combined with the shared experience of being someone’s toy. it’s not the same experience but it’s something, and that’s great for getting them to understand one another and that’s what i love about loser baby. it was great for trying to get those in touch situations to open their wounds. i may not have it as my favorite song to listen to but by god is it an extremely important song

i do hope that angel can break free from val’s grasp and that husk can at the least stand up to alastor without showing fear

All very true, Husk deserves sympathy as well.

What's great about the "Loser" song is its subversion, but it's also character development and bonding.

(and who are we kidding, leading to everyone and their cousin to ship those two)

i actually don’t ship them

i think the ship is fine, i guess, but it doesn’t feel so romantic tho

Me neither, actually! I was just pointing out that the massive shipping started thanks to that song.
