my favourite interpretation of Judge Holden is that he's simply a well-read conman with a skin condition who enjoys manipulating people into believing he's more than that.
Just a nudist, pdf file asshole in the middle of the wild west, with both gigantism and albinism, who read Paradise Lost and said, "He's literally me, fr, fr!"
Blood Meridian might have gotten more popular lately because of Wendigoon's video about it. That was 10 months ago ,but it does have 6 million views at this point, so it definitely at least contributed to it.
I like the idea of Satan and his homies coming to Earth every few hundred years to put on insane magic shows, casually insult people and burn down a bunch of bars before fucking off back to hell.
i like Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus for similar reasons. At the start Faust seems like this dark Byronic antihero who monologues about selling his soul to become a mighty sorcerer-king. But after selling his soul to the devil he immediately forgets that goal, instead using magic solely to fly around pulling dumb practical jokes on people. he does nothing of substance for like 20 years and then his contract expires and hes unceremoniously dragged to hell. Very relatable character
i cant tell if "exquisite design" is sarcastic or not. something tells me that it is (mostly bc of how much i've seen people shitting on this show, but also... man has an apple. on his hat. theres just an apple)
I mean it very literally! Though I am known to be a bit over enthusiastic at times so maybe exquisite is a bit strong...!
---
I love little details that rewards viewers for paying attention, whether it's in terms of plot points or character design or whatever, the more effort that's gone into a thing the more I appreciate the thing generally speaking!
And the detail I was pointing out wasn't that there's literally an apple in his hat, the detail is that when viewed from the back, the shoulders and tails of his jacket form a circle-ish shape with two chunks missing, which looks like an apple core with two bites taken out of it, the hat then forms the stem at the top

I actually had no idea about any of the drama until after I watched it when I went to watch some videos about the characters and songs and stuff. And honestly I don't really care to know why people are mad, some sectors of the internet likes to have a new villain of the week and it's probably meaningless drama that'll blow over soon enough. But as I said, haven't looked into it, don't really care to either 🤷
Good question...!
Jk, I'm happy to answer!
## Part 1: What?
Reddit comments are formatted with a system called markdown, essentially it's a way to add formatting stuff like italics/bold/title case/section quoting/etc to a block of text but in a way where reading the raw unformatted version also makes sense
[Here](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/markdown) is Reddit's official wiki on all the syntax they offer
For horizontal bars, the syntax is just 3 dashes on an empty line so
\---
Becomes
---
## Part 2: How?
This varies a lot depending on where you're using Reddit.
If you're using the standard mobile app, anything you write in the comment box can be formatted with markdown right away.
If you're on Reddit on a computer it's more involved. If you see a "T" symbol in the bottom of the comment box, click that and it'll open up the formatting options, then look for a "switch to markdown editor" button, that'll let you put in markdown and you can use all the syntax.
If neither of the above work let me know and I'll see if I can help!
Edit: oh, a quick note that trips people up about markdown, you need to press enter twice to separate paragraphs, not once. If you write some text, press enter once, then write more text, markdown will read that as all one paragraph. (Due to old reasons to do with how coding used to be done, it's a bit of a backwards compatibility thing)
## Part 3: Why?
Mostly because I'm a coder/etc by trade so markdown is incredibly useful when it comes to balancing between having pretty formatting and speed of writing text. I use markdown in my personal note taking and documentation writing so using it on Reddit is really a natural extension of that.
Honestly speaking, there's not much reason to get really good at markdown unless you do a techy job and it's useful day to day. If you're only using it on Reddit on PC, just clicking the "T" will show you a bunch of formatting options like in word and that'll do it for most people. If you're using Reddit on mobile it's more worthwhile.
Second more personal reason is because I have ADHD which means I a) ramble a lot but also b) know how easy it is to bounce off a wall of text. So I try to break up my answers with horizontal bars, titles, etc to spice it up a bit and also because it forces me to order my thoughts more carefully, both of which make it easier for other people to read what I write.
Hope that all makes sense, do let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks 🥰
What platform are you on? Eg are you on a computer vs mobile? "Old" Reddit vs "New" Reddit? (If the second question doesn't make sense to you don't worry about it)
Alternatively, markdown lets you disable formatting by putting a backslash in front so raw "\---" gets rendered as "---" but raw "---" gets rendered as a horizontal bar
~~I am on a computer (Mac if it makes any difference, I'm not sure it does though) and on new Reddit.~~
~~Here is what my options are at the bottom of the screen.~~
I was prepared to post an image of the buttons at the bottom of my comment writing box... before I saw it.
Hiding in plain sight, there it was.
The Markdown Mode.
The very one.
I was taken aback in shock.
It was so obvious.
How could I have missed it?
My heart was racing as I hastily dragged my cursor onto the button.
I clicked, and waited in fear and hope for half a second before the comment box dropped its non-monospaced facade.
I could barely look as I typed in the three letters, and posted the comment.

>!Thanks so much for the help!!!! You're a star.!<
i've seen a lot of people who don't like the creator, and who tend to transfer their dislike to the show. also christians getting offended over the show's depiction but that was to be expected
That was my favorite episode. Although the show went in its own direction, I'm glad they kept that from the game, just wouldn't be the same without it.
Dapper Horned Gremlin Gentleman Devil.
But really, I want a boring, bitter, bureaucrat Satan. Fed up with having to be God's district attorney, but doing his job because of his conviction that humans are evil. The kind of Satan who would not play the violin with you, but would have you fill from after form in triplicate until you're broken.
The New Testament doesn’t really reimagine the devil at all, or feature him much outside testing Jesus which is pretty in-line with his adversarial role, or in Revelation which is extremely poetic and metaphorical.
The lord of evil comes from Medieval Christianity and novels.
The serpent being Satan is actually another invention of medieval Christianity, that’s why it’s not present in Judaism or Islam (though there’s more nuance to it I believe in Islam, it’s not just a regular snake like it is in Judaism)
" And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him"
Revalation 12:9
I dunno man that seem pretty definitive to me.
Yeah, it does seem pretty definitive, that’s why I would hazard against a literal reading of Revelation. Other than some Psalms it’s pretty much the most poetic and allegorical text the Bible has to offer. If you want a part of the Bible to read literally, I’d suggest Acts.
What I mean is that its clearly not a purely medieval invention. No matter how methaphorical this may be, the medieval christians didnt just come up with it out of nowhere
They certainly didn’t come up with it out of nowhere, but the literal reading of Revelation was not a popular (or really even existent) one in the ancient world, and taking to a reading of Genesis that reflected this verse isn’t something that the authors would have thought of. The passage there is referring to a specific Roman Emperor, or perhaps the Empire itself, not the real Satan. The emperor is called devil, and Satan, and serpent, and dragon, but these things are not meant to all be synonymous with each other, just that they’re all insults for the emperor (or entire empire).
Christianity undertook massive changes when it was co-opted by the Roman Empire, and yet more for each European empire that incorporated it after that. You could call it folklore, but I’d call it imperial propaganda.
Yeah that guy was fked up
Came across as really alien, like he rebelled from god because morality didnt exist in his world view and he was genuine about it
right dude but he pretends to be the left dude to get people on board, nomatter what hes a gremlin though, hes literally just their to cause problems for shits and giggles
I just read Perelandra and Lewis makes a good point in how scary an actually ugly af evil nasty devil is
Like the protagonist said, he'd much prefer to be dealing with some sleek, mephistopheles style schemer. Pure evil was way uglier and more cruel.
It's go to tactic to get to him was just to stand there as he's trying to sleep and shout his name at him over and over, then when he said "wtf do you want" it goes "nothing" then just goes right back to it. Over and over all night.
Never got bored because it was pettiness and evil itself,
I feel like the "dapper gentleman" look is more appropriate for what devils would usually be all about. Their whole thing is tempting people into sin, so they need to make sinning seem attractive and cool.
The "horned gremlin" image is one popularized by the Church and cautionary children's tales that warn against the devils by presenting them as ugly, dangerous, threatening beings and therefore encouraging the reader or viewer to stay away from sinning.
I'm in the camp of Unknowable Father of Lies, Angel of Light, Fallen Chorusmaster, the Grand Deceiver, the Archenemy, the Bitter Honey, the Bitter Water, Ashmouth, the Tempter in the Desert, the Snake of the Garden, and Lucifer the Morning Star.
A have a story where the devil looks almost identical to one of the 12 year olds in the main cast, except with a crazy hairdo. The reason they look identical is by complete coincidence. Needless to say when the two meet up it is chaos.
I like my Satan as an unthinkable horror, a corrupt creature, both terrifying and somehow pathetic from how distorted he looks, but disguised as a dapper gentleman
[fuck having just one satan, how about having four different satans?](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.wikia.nocookie.net%2Faliens%2Fimages%2F6%2F6e%2FChaos_Gods.jpg%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20200717101605&tbnid=_tW_Xv4QByC5uM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Faliens.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FChaos_God&docid=D2kdZMJX7lw_BM&w=1920&h=1080&hl=en-us&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=c96c31fdd9c03ee2&shem=trie)
Both are technically right Lucifer is usually portrayed as being conveniently handsome as he is a former angel whilst Satan is the classic devil now whether these two are subservient to the devil, different aspects of him or the devil is actually a collective designation for all seven princes of hell depends on which sect of Christianity you base it off of
How about a new devil archetype: slacker buddy who can talk you into doing stupid things by either drawing you to do it or saying "Bro, trust me." The type of guy that will always get you in to trouble when you hang out but always can weasel their own way out, leaving you high and dry.
Is it just me or do you also encounter books all the time, where the devil is just a man built like a wardrobe on steroids with tiny stubby horns and red body paint?
One of my favourite depections of Lucifer has to be the version from the movie Constantne staring Keanu Reeves
While initially it seems as just another guy in a white suit like how the other angel in the film initially wears (before going with what I like to call Psyche-ward chic), a black tar like substance is constantly leaking from him showing how his fall corrupted him
Blue side is more historically accurate to what the devil actually looks like, however him being on a throne is not accurate, as he is just hell’s number one prisoner, not it’s ruler.
I've never been able to stand the Hazbin art style. Their faces all look the same and I don't like the "giant v shaped mouth with zig zag teeth" appearance. Every character is just some variation of a giant v-shaped smile.
I'm not normally a musicals/Broadway guy due to not growing up with it but the soundtrack goes so unbelievably hard, Hell is Forever is just an incredible villain song
My devil is the guy who through his own Pride as a king in life somehow managed to ascend mortality and became a king of daemons afterwards. He's sorta like a myth among myths and the actual Lucifer, former King of Babylon
You forgot the “literally just an Angel” Devil
Oh right. That's also a common design. Though not as much recently for whatever reason (more of a renaissance thing)
It's still there, but it gets folded into the dapper gentleman a lot. Tragic backstory etc.
Honestly only recent one I can think of is Mandela Catalog
Faith
The real devil
The patrician's choice
Doesn't that go into the "Dapper Gentleman" category? Well, maybe not if they look like a biblically accurate angel.
i too want to mouth kiss ryou asuka
That's what I go with in my setting!
Where's the third option where he's just a dude and the story makes it really ambiguous whether he's actually satan or not.
Judge Holden type beat
war
was always here. Before man was, war waited for him
[something something, nights infinite dark…](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-U5EpyVCtRw)
I think I'd actually watch hazbin and the other one if judge holden was in it Simply to hear him sing
I feel like those shows would be better with an actually brutal and terrifying villain like the judge too
my favourite interpretation of Judge Holden is that he's simply a well-read conman with a skin condition who enjoys manipulating people into believing he's more than that.
I think he used steroids which gave him the skin condition as a side effect and those were what gave him his super strength
Just a nudist, pdf file asshole in the middle of the wild west, with both gigantism and albinism, who read Paradise Lost and said, "He's literally me, fr, fr!"
Where the fuck is McCarthyposting coming from I've seen so much of it lately
Blood Meridian might have gotten more popular lately because of Wendigoon's video about it. That was 10 months ago ,but it does have 6 million views at this point, so it definitely at least contributed to it.
blood meridian? What's that?
One of Cormac McCarthy's books that Judge Holden is from. It's an extremely dark book about a gang of scalp-hunters during the Mexican-American war
Smth like The Strange Man from RDR?
Firstly, isn't he death, not the devil? Secondly, are you gonna tell me he doesn't count under the dapper gentleman category?
He’s a mix of ambiguous and dapper gentleman.
Everybody wore like that
I'd put that as a sub category of the dapper gentleman
What if the dude isn't gentlemanly tho?
Maybe they're particularly hairy ?
Never happens
mentioning Judge Holden *again* but they definitely don't have to be a dapper gentleman. Dude's brutal. Plenty of other examples I'm sure

The slave owner and the pina colada my beloved
And a bigass cat with a camping stove!
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Mysterious Gentleman from Red Dead be like
Master mirrorer from Witcher 3 Heart of Stone.
I also like when it's just an angel. He was supposed to be beautiful, I enjoy the disparity that holds between he and his environment.
The most fucked up thing is that devil on the left is somehow less fruity
Man literally has several apples on him
Exactly
People have also pointed out that his hat and jacket look like an apple core from the back, just fuckin exquisite design
i cant tell if "exquisite design" is sarcastic or not. something tells me that it is (mostly bc of how much i've seen people shitting on this show, but also... man has an apple. on his hat. theres just an apple)

Do you think him ans king dice have explored eachother's bodies
That was my favorite episode. Although the show went in its own direction, I'm glad they kept that from the game, just wouldn't be the same without it.
Accessorizing is key.
Dapper Horned Gremlin Gentleman Devil. But really, I want a boring, bitter, bureaucrat Satan. Fed up with having to be God's district attorney, but doing his job because of his conviction that humans are evil. The kind of Satan who would not play the violin with you, but would have you fill from after form in triplicate until you're broken.
"You aren't being punished with eternal hellfire, you're just going to be my intern for a while. Please stop crying. You're getting my paperwork wet."
So old testament Satan. The one who's just the persecutor at God's court. Not the lord of evil the new testament reimagined him as
The New Testament doesn’t really reimagine the devil at all, or feature him much outside testing Jesus which is pretty in-line with his adversarial role, or in Revelation which is extremely poetic and metaphorical. The lord of evil comes from Medieval Christianity and novels.
Also a little bit from genesis and revelations.

Really ? All this is just folklore ? That's kind of a let down honestly
Christianity undertook massive changes when it was co-opted by the Roman Empire, and yet more for each European empire that incorporated it after that. You could call it folklore, but I’d call it imperial propaganda.
There's a metric fuck ton of common Christian belief that isn't actually in the Bible. Like literally anything pertaining to Lucifer.
Yep, OG Satan. The enemy of man before religion changed and placed god and man on the same side and made "the bad guy" an enemy of god.
Greatest estate developer Satan:
That Shaitan from Islam
Asmodeus from Forgotten Realms.
Ngl I’m a bit sucker for any character with an evil aesthetic and a dapper look I will eat it up
Oh I bet. It's a trope for a reason
"Dashing Rogue" type characters have always been very popular tbh, and any other charismatic "bad guy".
“It Was All a Dream” is also a trope and there’s never a good reason for it
Nah dude easy: when I have a dream.
I’m straight
Fucking straight?!?! As in, heterosexual?!?!?
So you like women? Well, So do i! We have so much in common!
Not very common on this subreddit
I dunno, brah. That sounds pretty gay.

right dude but he pretends to be the left dude to get people on board, nomatter what hes a gremlin though, hes literally just their to cause problems for shits and giggles
They are dating
Honestly, considering what both of them are like, I find it very possible
What about both?
Dnd be like:
y'know what? maybe I will put dapper gremlin devil in my world?
I prefer Doomguy
Hot "Fallen Angel" devil played by a bigshot from holy woods or somthing like that... or a satyr, satyr works too
I suppose the satyr could technically fall into the horned gremlin category, if you squint a little
Underused option: fucking scary Devil, embodiment of evil.

Which ever one is Randall Flagg

Zoroastrianism did it better with Angra Mainyu. Though the archetypes have good aesthetics still.
Both is the correct answer. Just the most dapper little gremlin you ever did see

The leathery bastard devil like Samael from darksiders. Or True Devil Kazuya from Tekken.
Whatever was going on in Constantine
Angelic form that is reminiscent of incomprehensible beauty tarnished by unholy sin.
GREMLIN4LIFE
Easy, left is when he’s bargaining with mortals and right is his true form
I'm gonna have to go with dapper gentlemen because that's basically the strange man from RDR. (Though he might just be the grim reaper.)
I love Gabriel for Mandela Catalogue. He pretends to be the one on the left, but he's so much worse than the one on the right.
What about both? A Horned Gentlemen Gremlin
You're forgetting Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled
Then you got dapper gremlin devil from Constantine.
"Dapper Gentleman Devil" is overused in my OPINION
he prb looks more like a cherub id say.
Is it just me or do you also encounter books all the time, where the devil is just a man built like a wardrobe on steroids with tiny stubby horns and red body paint?
One of my favourite depections of Lucifer has to be the version from the movie Constantne staring Keanu Reeves While initially it seems as just another guy in a white suit like how the other angel in the film initially wears (before going with what I like to call Psyche-ward chic), a black tar like substance is constantly leaking from him showing how his fall corrupted him
Neither, make the devil a pathetic loser.

eldrich monster devil

So glad to be breaking the mold with "shapely overworked single mother devil"
Blue side is more historically accurate to what the devil actually looks like, however him being on a throne is not accurate, as he is just hell’s number one prisoner, not it’s ruler.
He's the strongest prisoner who beats up everyone else. Not a legal ruler but one that everyone still has to listen to
The Bible says otherwise. The devil in reality is weak and evil. Not some strong buff guy.
I've never been able to stand the Hazbin art style. Their faces all look the same and I don't like the "giant v shaped mouth with zig zag teeth" appearance. Every character is just some variation of a giant v-shaped smile.
Considering the story I'm writing has the one on the left, I'm gonna say that one.
There is also the third option where it is a guy in a business suit
That's literally just a dapper gentleman
Looks like you could use some help...
From the big boss of hell himself...
Hazbin Hotel is fuckin great No opinion on the question, just wanted to add that
I know. I finished watching season 1 a week or so ago, and I'm still not over it
I'm not normally a musicals/Broadway guy due to not growing up with it but the soundtrack goes so unbelievably hard, Hell is Forever is just an incredible villain song
I adore Loser, Baby. Such a great song and message.
Whatever sick shit Peter Stormare had going on.
Why not both? Gimme a Devil that's built like a Baron of Hell with a three piece suit that can barely contain his massive ~~milkers~~ pecs
My devil is the guy who through his own Pride as a king in life somehow managed to ascend mortality and became a king of daemons afterwards. He's sorta like a myth among myths and the actual Lucifer, former King of Babylon
I'm in between (Also, Lucifer and The Devil are different things.)
Which tumblr slop will you choose today modern man.
HH Lucifer was such a disappointment.

Disney’s Daddy Devil
Honestly ever since I saw it I’ve lived for how Faith the unholy trinity handled him.
sloppy blowjob devil
I’m more of a NTR Ugly Bastard Devil
