#Hazbin Hotel spoilers

One of the things that really bothers me about Abel's character is his age. According to biblical canon, Abel isn't much younger than Adam (relatively), which would put him at 7,000+ years old. But aside from his design drop in the Christmas trailer, which doesn't quite fit that description (hello, Saint Peter), we've had a lot of his behavior from the showers. And while the former can be justified by the vagueness of his death, the latter, well....

!Spoiler alert!

Abel literally acts like a boy drummer in a school boy band, nothing more. Bro doesn't even know the name of the weapon used by exorcists. How were they even going to make him Adam's successor?

This wouldn't be a problem if he was at least Charlie's age or something like that. But he's 7,000 years old and he asks his general if he can take HIS LATE FATHER'S guitar IN HIS NEW OFFICE.

Not to mention that when paired with Emily (the youngest seraphim, I don't think she's over a thousand years old) and Saint Peter, who's about 2,000 years old (if the real Saint Peter ever existed, and this one isn't the hyped mascot that Lute called him in court), Abel doesn't even seem like an older comrade, but an equal. Knowing that people are swiping him with both of them, it feels a bit... strange?

And if we stick to this theory, why is Adam the first human soul in Paradise? Isn't that why they made him an archangel (or partly for that)? Because Abel, by all accounts, is no different in strength or knowledge from the typical victor.

The funny thing is that I can totally understand both sides here. On the one hand: Abel in the series is a stupid chubby twink who literally gives off the vibes of a choir boy from a Catholic church (let me beat you up for this joke in the comments), who you can't give more than 20 by a stretch. On the other hand, according to the probable logic of the series, he's already like 7 thousand stupid chubby twinks and the stubble would be quite justified.

And the funny thing is that I'm 100% convinced that this issue will either not be raised at all in season 2, or it will be something minor that will break the lore even more.

If this post gets around, I'll make a second part where I'll analyze Abel's design a little more, try to come up with a stupid theory that would explain both his hair color and the correspondence of his age to his behavior and Adam's dislike for him.

Episode 8 was so fun!

Also angel Pentious would absolutely complain that he misses his Eggs at least 10 times a day.

[lucdoodle]

thought that one Alastor scene would look cool in comic lettering, so i drew this

[petitprincess1]

I love that Rosie knows LGBT+ sexualities, but Alastor is too "old-skool" to probably care

Edit: Link to Amir Talai (VA of Alastor) apologizing for calling Al aroace

Father-daughter bonding. 😁

Requested, image description/edit: Niffty climbs up on Alastor, putting a crown of dead bugs and twigs on his head and Niffty dubs Al "King Roach." She climbs down, and then the two laugh like mad.
