NEW VERSE╰ double the trouble & twice the spice.

not quite new as i've been writing in it however!! verse had been officially added to my carrd and i'm now open to writing with others in it! please note the angel dust referred backstory wise is the wonderful @poisonedxbeauty

so here he is, the fabulous star dust!

note about his appearance: to create a more contrasting appearance from angel i have lent into the fandom theory that sinners eyes change when their souls are owned, making stars eyes different to angels. due to being fully contracted to valentino he also wears vals colour palette.

suicide tw, gun cw

within this universe, instead of twins molly and anthony being born it's in fact triplets; molly, anthony and lorenzo (enzo). the three were inseparable, and by the time they were teenagers they all were aware of anthony and enzo's sexuality. but unlike anthony, enzo hid it well, never acting on his impulses and focusing on work instead of substances to deal with it. so when their father threw anthony out the other two triplets were devasted. by the time molly brought anthony home the third triplet was a prominent member of the mafia family, and their fathers right hand man. the second the gun went off and anthony fled, enzo turned a gun of their father, shooting him in the head before running to find molly and attempt to search for their brother. two years after finding their brothers body, enzo committed suicide, using the same gun he used on their father.

soon after arriving in hell enzo sought out anthony, now going by angel dust, and quickly learnt from his brother how hell could be enjoyed, exploring his sexuality and substances with curiosity. eventually the two are found by valentino, signing contracts with the overlord and becoming 'angel dust' and 'star dust'. despite their similar pasts, the twins have contrasting personalities and coping mechanisms. angel, a hedonistic and flamboyant sinner, tries to mask his trauma with substance abuse and reckless behaviour, while star dust is more reserved, calculated, and internalizes his suffering.

however, when asmodeus, takes an interest in angel after a performance he manages to negotiate angels contract from the overlord, leaving him with freedom to reside at the hazbin hotel. unbeknownst to angel, valentino had refused, insisting that two 'half contracts' meant he had only one sinner from the two sinners deal, and so star offered up his whole soul so long as valentino gave ozzie angels.

star dust is left behind, becoming the sole focus of valentino's sadistic attention. his possessiveness intensifies, and he tightens his grip on star, both physically and psychologically. despite his resentment to his brother, star still sneaks away to check on his brother at the hotel when he can.

Let’s be real, I think the quest for perfect skin is one we’ve all been on since getting our first taste of acne in seventh grade. Now, being a junior in college, I’ve had years of testing out several skincare products—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and I’ve concluded that expensive does NOT equal better. Until about four years ago, I struggled with persistent unsightly blemishes that wouldn’t go away no matter what I did. For a while there, I just sort of accepted that I had acne and always would, no matter how much time and money I spent on fancy facials and luxury skincare products that promised to make all my troubles go away. It wasn’t until my junior year of high school that I started making some subtle changes that almost instantly cleared my skin: I started paying attention to what I ate and drank  and stopped spending so much dang money on my skincare routine. Through recommendations from friends and dermatologists , I was introduced to products that have not only consistently kept my skin clear and healthy but are actually affordable . I know what you’re thinking—you get to spend less money on skincare and have a flawless complexion? It’s almost too good to be true. Keep reading for the nine best skincare products under $50 I swear by for clear, glowing skin all year long. My number one, no-exception rule for flawless skin? NEVER SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON. I don’t care how tired, lazy, or buzzed you are. Washing your face at the end of the day is a must (whether you wore makeup or not). Consistently sleeping with makeup on causes eyelash breakage, wrinkles, and, of course, acne from clogged pores. I've tried (and then ditched) quite a few makeup removers, from chemical-ridden makeup removing solutions to rough wipes that felt like they were harming my skin more than helping it. My favorite all-natural face and eye makeup remover is Trader Joe’s jojoba oil—and it was recommended to me by my dermatologist. Jojoba oil is one of the few natural oils that actually fights against acne with its anti-inflammatory properties while also removing every trace of makeup from heavy foundation to the most stubborn mascara. With clean hands, I massage this oil over any areas I applied makeup to and then wash off the oil with my facial cleanser. During winter or whenever my skin is on the drier side, I love to add a few drops of this to my moisturizer as well. Investing in a great facial cleanser is a must for clear and healthy skin. This one’s a no brainer, but it’s something I overlooked for years! Several popular cleansers on the market use harsh chemicals that can strip your face of its natural oils and cause irritation (hello, redness!). I’ve been using iS Clinical’s Cleansing Complex for two years now, and I can say in confidence that it’s majorly changed the texture of my skin. The cleanser is promoted for all skin types, using a combination of bio-nutrients, antioxidants, and mild resurfacing ingredients that thoroughly cleanse the skin without stripping its natural oils. I used to only wash my face at night since I’m prone to dryness until an esthetician told me washing my face in the morning is essential to preventing breakouts since we often sweat in our sleep. Luckily, this cleanser is gentle enough to use morning and night without drying out the skin (even during winter). Did you know excess sun-exposure is the top cause of premature aging? Sunscreen is crucial to having tight, glowing skin not only in your 20s but as you get older too. My go-to facial sunscreen is Elta MD’s Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46. The formula was developed by dermatologists for acne-prone skin and is oil-free, so don’t worry, it won’t break you out. The sunscreen comes in clear, which I wear under makeup, or in a tinted shade for days when you want a little more coverage. I wear this daily, applying one pump to my face and neck after moisturizer. So many young adults overlook the importance of wearing sunscreen for preventing discoloration and wrinkles, but it really is the key to aging gracefully. Trust me, your future self will thank you. As a college student, I’m not trying to break the bank over my skincare routine. That being said, I’ve learned not to overlook drugstore products. Believe it or not, your local CVS holds some of my favorite products for perfect skin! One of them is Garnier’s Micellar Cleansing Water, which I'm sure you've already heard about. The French skincare secret cleans your pores while locking in your skin's moisture. I love to use this after washing my face morning and night for a glowing complexion; just apply some micellar water on a cotton pad and gently rub it on your skin like a toner. After the water dries, go on with your usual skincare routine. This product also doubles as a great makeup remover if oil cleansing isn't your thing. Another drug store product I use religiously is CeraVe’s PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. Even though it’s a nighttime product, I use this moisturizer morning and night. The ultra-lightweight and oil-free lotion is perfect for hydrating the skin without appearing oily and, most importantly, without breaking you out. For years I bounced from cream to cream trying to find one that doesn’t leave me ridden with whiteheads; not only is this one ridiculously affordable, it does its job perfectly. Sometimes we can do everything right and still wake up with an unwelcome pimple (especially around that time of the month). It’s inevitable! But when it does happen, leave the blemish alone. I can still hear my mom screaming at my ninth grade,pimple-popping self: “YOU’RE MAKING IT WORSE!” she’d say. It took me dozens of acne scars, some of which I still have today, to finally realize she was right. Unless you’re a licensed dermatologist, you probably don’t know what you’re doing. Popping pimples can make blemishes worse and cause post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation, especially if you’re prone to scarring like me. Even though it’s tempting, save yourself the agony and dry out the blemish instead. Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion is one of the most popular skincare products for a reason—that reason being that it works. This magical spot treatment uses salicylic acid, sulfur, and zinc oxide to draw impurities from the skin without scarring. Moral of the story here? Hands off the pimples. You know that saying “you are what you eat”? Well, every 27 days, your skin completely regenerates itself with cells made from the nutrients we get from our food. For the sake of my complexion, I try my best to avoid foods that cause inflammation (dairy, highly processed and greasy food) and focus more on fruit, veggies, grains, and responsibly sourced protein. In addition to being aware of my diet, a habit I’ve adopted this past year that has made a noticeable difference in the elasticity and tightness of my skin is taking collagen supplements. I add one scoop of Vital Protein’s Collagen Peptides to my smoothie or coffee every day (it’s completely tasteless); not only does collagen help strengthen hair, skin, and nails, but it also fights aging. We start losing collagen as early as age 25, so feeding your collagen supply early isn’t a bad idea. Plus, the supplement will leave your skin glowing! Like the food we eat, water intake is crucial to having clear and hydrated skin. Sure, it’s the oldest trick in the book and you're probably sick of hearing it, but it’s a non-negotiable for a healthy complexion. Drinking two to three liters of water per day flushes out inflammation-causing toxins and helps the skin self-moisturize (hello, natural glow!). The benefits of drinking water go far beyond skincare, so diminished blemishes is just one of the perks that come with healthy water intake. I carry a reusable water bottle with me at all times so I don’t forget to keep sipping. If plain water isn't your thing, try spicing it up by adding lemon wedges, mint leaves, or sliced berries. Lastly, one of my favorite products that helps achieve a flawless complexion is the SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub. I use this product before facial cleanser once a week during the warmer months and then twice a week during the winter since cold weather means dryer skin. The smoothing polish sloughs off dry and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. It also increases blood circulation, which in turn helps you to achieve a natural, healthy glow. This exfoliant was created for all skin types and is especially beneficial to repairing dehydrated, discolored, or aging skin. However, it’s also important not to over-exfoliate, as doing so can strip your skin of its natural oils.

@hazbinned plotted starter for vox

star sat silently on the plush crimson sofa of the nightclub, puffing on a cigarette as his gaze remained fixed on the scene in front of him, fighting the urge to roll his eyes at valentino's obvious flirtation. the overlord was out scouting for new talent once more, something he'd been doing increasingly since loosing out on his brothers contract. he understood why the moth demon was focused on recruiting more.

what he didn't understand was why he and vox had been dragged along.

well, he did. after all, what better way to show how much of a star a nobody could be by bringing the star dust and the tv overlord as prime examples of how they could be living.

what a fucking joke.

the thing he really didn't understand was why vox was going along with it. the overlord had gained his respect in a sense, his calculating nature and strategy skills something the pornstar could appreciate. why he was nursing a drink whilst scrolling through his phone when he could be busy doing something more important was beyond him.

[spidersins]

@hazbinned

valentino was late.

it wasn't a surprise, the moth demon was no doubt caught up in some excessive indulgence to remind everyone who was in charge. star hated these interminable waiting games. ever since angel had managed to escape his contract, val had become increasingly volatile, his possessiveness and cruelty amplified tenfold.

the dimly lit hallway of the studio reeked of stale smoke and overpowering cologne. star leant against the wall, waiting for val to suddenly appear and summon him. despite the outward calm as he took a drag from his cigarette, his mind raced with a thousand thoughts, each one more unsettling than the last.

@poisonedxbeauty ( plotted starter )

❛ oh you would not believe the shit i had to put up with today without ya ❜ star grumbled as he made his way over to the sofa where angel had lounged across, dropping to sit beside the others boots, moving to sprawl his own legs on top of his twins. ❛ apparently he's all into a dacryphilia thing at the moment. i swear, he put so much shit in my eyes i dunno how they ain't still fucked. ❜
