maybe I'm just being a baby, but seeing that disable man made me a little sad. I wish NTs would stop doing this to disabled people.

No, you are not being a "baby" or sensitive, ableism against people with physical and mental disabilities is normalized in society.

The r slur is even coming back which disgusts me. Unknown to me because I never watched the Helluva pilot where Blitz says it to Moxxie. There is a callback to the r-slur in Western Energy, Blitz is about to say it but stops himself. I dislike how he was about to say it to someone who is illiterate.

I do not know about Brandon or Adam if they are neurodivergent, but Viv has ADHD. She does give me the vibe of "It is okay for me to use ableist slurs because I am neurodivergent!" Like no, the r-slur had been used against people with physical disabilities.

In general, neurodivergent people [mainly the white ones] are hellbent are trying "reclaim" the r-slur. It is also not uncommon for neurodivergent people to be ableist to people with physical disabilities like Down Syndrome.

Back to Ghostfuckers, Blitz and Mooxie being grossed out by hotel bellhop is fucked. The villain already called him a "thing" and now the main leads are like "Ewww!!" I had to blanked out when this scene came up because I do not remember at all.

It is wild that this gag even exists because Fizz is a quadruple amputee character, making him disabled. I guess this gag is okay because Fizz has pretty privilege and can hide his prosthetics while this guy's disability is visible which is #nasty!!!! /s

The call is coming from inside the house

Oh she's definitely still salty she got called out for hiring a Proshipper cos she's one too & one thing about Proshippers, they defend their peoples.

"It's incredibly cringe/hard to watch characters said to have died in separate generations then be as deep as a puddle and all use the same insufferable millennial humour. Many of these people supposedly died in more conservative times and yet they swing around the word “clout+that's the tea" and swear all quirky like? Give me a break."

Here's some good Hazbin/Helluva critical videos I've seen (since it's so hard to find good ones on YT)

(Both are by GalXE!)

(Left one is by HezuReviews, right is by Autistic Swag!)

(Both are by Madeline Maye!)

(Both are by Cassidy Whiskey!)

Please go check these people out, all of them are extremely talented. Some of them even shared some insight and clever criticism into this series that I hadn't even thought of! (I especially like the Madeline Mayne ones as they poke into how both HB and HH fail at their queer representation.)

Ok so i saw a post mentioning how Spindlehorse was hiring animators again, and i thought "huh yknow im really curious what the turnover rate of animators is in this studio" because i mean its a genuine question considering how i swear theyre hiring new animators every other week

So then i checked IMDB...

Before i go on i wanna put some context because its kinda needed for what im about to say:

On IMDB there's a section of the cast and crew page labeled "Series Animation Department". This is the section meant primarily for animators and storyboarders among other jobs in the same vein.

Now. Can you guess how many animators/storyboarders Helluva Boss has gone through in less than 2 seasons?

444.

That is four hundred and forty-four individual credits, a majority of whom didn't stay for any longer than a few episodes. I have never in my life seen an animator turnover rate this skewed.

But i saw this and i went "well it cant be that bad right, what about other shows?" because admittedly i didnt know a lot about animation so for all i knew this was normal. So i went to the IMDB pages of other animated shows

RWBY: 164 credited animators over 9 seasons

Murder Drones: 11 Animators over 7 episodes

The Owl House: 88 Animators over 3 seasons

Amphibia: 73 over 3 seasons

Steven Universe: 44 over 5 seasons

And just to be fair let's include Hazbin Hotel, which had 62 in 1 season

This means that for one reason or another Helluva Boss has gone through more animators in less than 2 seasons than shows that ran for SIGNIFICANTLY longer go through in their entire lifespan by several times and that astounds me

vivziepop is too much of a pussy to put gay cowboys in helluva instead of the 1890230th sex obsessed weirdo or rapist

vivzie is permanently yaoi brained and cant think of mlm couples being more than just constant sex or abuse so seeing how strikers treated really pisses me off, let my man be at the pride parade you hooligan

gay cowboys honestly interest me a lot because of all the history behind them, which id recommend kaz rowe's video to learn more about. i feel like this could make striker a more interesting character but since he isnt that fucking owl he gets sidelined and is now homophobic because fuck that guy i guess!!!!

[hashbrown-motel]

i feel really tempted to redraw the pride art but at the same time that means i gotta make atleast 14 redesigns/actually start working on my helluva rewrite...............

[hashbrown-motel]

Daily reminder that there was already an actually interesting layout for Hazbin Hotel that ACTUALLY felt like it took place after the pilot but it very likely got scrapped for the bs that we got now-

Like THIS genuinely feels like some thought was put into it, unlike the official 'hey let's have a war with fucking Heaven as a season 1 finale and not put any work into getting to know any of the main characters'.

(And YES, I will be using this scrapped layout as groundwork for Limbo Ave. and possibly another au that's just basically the pilot version of HH continued for this storyline-)

(And DOUBLE YES, despite some of the plots being used in the official release I don't consider or accept it because it's obvious af that they just took the description from the scrapped work and just fucked off with everything else because no one could be bothered to take their time and think of a way to make the new stuff actually FLOW well)

I’d love if you critiqued the pride art helluva Twitter acc just dropped, I would but there’s way too much for me to even start with and I wanted to hear your opinion

just the art cause for some reason my brain is so confused.

Apologies for the late response, anon, but here we go!

My eyes.......

As someone who is queer myself, so many of these characters just fall into stereotypes or aren't the best representation.

1. Chaz wanting to fuck everything is a horrible representation of pansexual people.

2. The only Asexual people being a teenager (which is fine) and the fat man who abuses Fizz and is ugly yay /s (Vivziepop has a habit of misrepresenting asexuals, and as one myself, it can be pretty hard to watch.)

3. Sallie Mae is the ONLY lesbian we have? Nothing else? Wow.

4. I'm also including the lack of enby/nonbinary representation. For a queer show you'd think they include them.

5. There's a lot of pansexuals, and while it does seem nice, quality doesn't equal quantity. We have Chaz (mentioned before), Blitz (who sleeps with everyone), Barbie (a literal groomer), Ozzie (which isn't bad since he's the Sin of Lust, but eh), Queen Bee (I actually like this one, mostly because I like Bee) and a bunch of random background extras who I don't even know their names.

6. Why is that parrot guy here? Does he have a name?

7. Andre having feathers in his hair is typically a no go as it feeds into a harmful stereotype about Indigenous people.

8. Where is my boy Cole?

9. Also it'd be nice if these were confirmed in the show instead of the wiki. I don't have to do homework.

Alright, now onto the art! Hoo boy....

First off, all of the characters and flags are fighting for my attention to the point where I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

The first time I saw this, my eyes were led to Bee, as her and her lava lamp made her stand out.

The mishmash of colors made it hard to focus on Bee for long, as I was trying to figure out where everyone was. And yes, I get it, it's a Pride parade, there's gonna be rainbow colors, but at least make it so I know what I'm looking at here. They all blend in.

Apologies if my thoughts are a bit jumbled at the moment, I'm a bit sleep deprived right now.

[hashbrown-motel]

I’m sorry but what the fuck is this and I don’t think anyone wanted this

One of the things that makes all the "Kys Blitzo" merch even worse is when you remember that the fandom pushed someone to suicide not too long ago
