#but im imagining them as a stick-up-the-butt kind of person
I found a thread and decided… Hm… Maybe a need a little bit of sin afterall…
…I heard Pride as Takahata101’s Perfect Cell voice. XD
Okay, I love this, but the Heavenly Virtues would totes be down with what the Sins be doing. It’s the CapitalVirtues that are in opposition to the Deadly Sins…
While the Heavenly Virtues are Temperance, Justice, Prudence, Fortitude, Faith, Hope, and Love (or Charity, if you’re using the King James bible).
The only HV on the CV list is Temperance (and Charity, if using the King James bible).
The “current” Virtues vs Vices list is:
So what if…
- Lust acts as his wingman and encourages him to get out and socialize (“Who cares if they’re single, or looking, or whatever. Let’s just go and talk to pretty people!”)
- Gluttony (as above) keeps him eating regularly, and eating well (“You need to eat something. I’ve made mushroom risotto, ceasar salad, and honey-glazed asparagus. Take as much as you want. There’s cheesecake for dessert. Yes, you have to eat at least a little of everything. No, a protein shake isn’t ‘good enough.’”)
- Greed won’t let him volunteer for/take on more stuff, regardless of who it’s for. (“I don’t care that your boss can’t find anyone to work this weekend. F*ck that guy. The weekend is your 'me’ time.”)
- Sloth works closely with Greed to keep him from overworking himself. (“Seriously, who cares if all you do on the weekend is watch cat videos and TikToks. It’s none of his business what you do in your free time.”)
- Envy is the only Sin he’s familiar with, but in keeping with the rest of the fam’s efforts, E starts pointing out aspirational people. (“Check out this guy, he decided to learn how to paint at 78. 78! Crazy, my dude! I told you, it’s never too late to learn something new!”)
- Wrath is all about teaching him to not take anyone else’s sh*t. (“So, what do we say when X complains that you aren’t free this weekend? No. Don’t just apologize! Be firm. You have the right to do your own thing, and if they can’t handle that, than they aren’t worth your time.”)
- Pride (again, as above) is all about the self-confidence and recognizing his worth. (“You are allowed to take up space. More space. C'mon, you can do it. Stand tall. Chin up. Channel Charlize Theron. Think 'murder.’”)
The Capital Virtues are nosy busybodies who justify their meddling as “preventative” because “eventually it’ll go beyond self-care.”
Temperance calls in the Heavenly Virtues when the CVs fail for the umpteenth time to stop the Sins, only for the HVs to throw in with the Sins…
