Two headcanons relating to how people manifest in Hell after death. (Would love to hear people’s thoughts)
Given we don’t really have any idea what it looks like for a soul to manifest after death in Hell, thought I would throw my hat in the ring with two headcanons.
-
Souls manifest in the clothes they died in. Now I know some people go with the rapture style manifestation of arriving nude but I kinda like more appearing in your final set of clothes from Earth. It also makes sense to me as it’s almost as if the soul is manfisting in the last mental image of a person on earth, just with their new, soul body.
-
Sinners deal with the pain of dying once awaking in hell. Now this is a nice fun one I had an idea for, but I would like to thing a sinner doesn’t instantly appear and start walking about as their consciousness/nerves/other bodily systems “boot” up into their new hellish body.
That also happens to include all the nerves and pain receptors firing off their last known signals, aka the ones as the person was dying and giving the sinner a little taste of their death in Hell. That is until the mind can acclimatize to the new body and the pain receptors recognize there actually isn’t anything causing pain.
So for example, when Vincent woke up in Hell after the TV fell on his head, when he booted up in Hell it would’ve felt like being electrocuted/pierced with all those glass shards.
Well anyway welcome to my tedtalk
