Ok yeah the last scene we still haven't seen from the huskerdust twitter trailer is from ep 6

[planetkram]

Adam and Lute’s reaction to when they see Charlie is just..

OH THAT BETTER BE WHO I THINK IT IS

Wait, is that Vagina?

[onemore2morrow]

Okay I mean this so seriously…

Do people actually ship Chaggie? Outside of the ship just being… gay?

Like, I have been a fan of Vivzie for a long time (I’m talking Zoophobia long). And… Chaggie has just NEVER felt like it’s had any chemistry to me? It feels very much like, “I want my main character to be gay. Here is her girlfriend. I’m not going to focus any energy on developing their relationship. They’re the main couple and they’re gay”.

I don’t know. My thing is just, name one thing about their dynamic other than it’s Grumpy x Sunshine. What is one moment that genuinely develops chemistry between Vaggie and Charlie? Seriously.

And now we have Emily, and that just feels like a huge missed opportunity.

Hell, I don’t even blame the Charlastor shippers (rip “Dad Beat Dad”).

I’m seriously not trying to be malicious. But as a queer woman, who is constantly looking for queer representation, could someone like… explain it to me?

I JUST HAD A REALIZATION FOR HAZBIN

major spoilers for Episode Six under the cut

where I believe Vaggie’s hatred/distrust of men came from

So Vaggie is not only a fallen angel, but a fallen exterminator. She has shown to be very militaristic and harsh, because that’s how she was brought up. But the question is, brought up by who?

Well, i think it’s pretty clear that she and all the other exterminators (who i believe are all women? i can’t remember) were trained/raised by Adam. A misogynistic, arrogant, and frankly downright stupid freak of an angel. And if they’re all women, that means that before hell, Adam was literally the only man she’d ever known.

He’s the only one who recognized Vaggie under the mask. He’s the only one besides Sera that knows about the exterminations. He always has an exterminator by his side. It just makes sense.

He says that Vaggie was one of his best, meaning that he probably gave her special attention that she didn’t want. He also literally named her after the word vagina. Lastly, he was there when her wings and eye were ripped out and, despite her probably being one of his favorites, did nothing to help her.

So yeah, if Adam was the only man I knew and he treated me the way he’s been shown to treat people in this show so far, id have a strong distrust of men, too.

[sophie-seokkie]

Imagine that in the final battle against heaven, these four show up to defend hell.

[chaoticace2005]

WE GOT A MOLLY SIGHTING WE GOT A MOLLY SIGHTING IM SCREAMING

I wonder if it’s just a cameo or if maybe she’ll work with Emily to help her brother?

[wishnianart]

He is so silly god he is the best

⚠️SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 6 HAZBIN HOTEL⚠️

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FUCK ADAM

I HATED THAT GUY THE SECOND HE DID THAT GUITAR SOLO

I new that vaggie bieng an ex-esterminator was gonna be probably cannon, and I'm so gld it is because now I wanna se Charlies reaction now that they are back to hell

This girl named emily I like her she is the coolest fucker, and the fact that heaven didn't even know that Adam was exterminating souls in Hell was actually something I didn't expect.

Also I'm glad to see angeldust is actually doing progress and that he actually STOOD UP TO FUCKING VALENTINO! YOU GO ANGEL!!

OH and cherry bomb FINALLY appeared, I missed her. Sr.Pentious having crush on Cherry bomb was not really somthing I expected but It was SOO FUNNY like he just went up to her IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAR AND GOES "Oh this bar has a sex room . . . YOU WANNA HAVE SEX LIKE RIGHT NOW" and that was really shocking and cute in a way can't lie.

And I'm glad we got more niffty on this episode, nd they treat her like a child, especially angel. OH AND ANGEL CALLING HUSK KITTY AND HUSK BEING PROUD OF ANGEL FOR ACTUALLY CONTROLLING HIMSELF AND NOT FALL BACK DOWN TO THE HOLE HE JUST CAME OUT FROM.

[groveofbones]

The fact that the confrontation with Valentino ended with Niffty RIPPING OUT A CHUNK OF HIS FUR like go girl, be the chaos gremlin we all need.

[iicaru2]

“He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation...”

“...but he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of heaven, for they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world.”

“Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her, and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love.”

“As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created...”

YO THIS EPISODE HAD ME SHOOK why is no one bringing that MOLLY ANGEL’S TWIN SISTER WAS IN THE BACKGROUND AT HEAVEN!!!!

VAGGIE USED TO BE A EXTERMINATOR

ANGELS DONT KNOW ABOUT EXTERMINATION

TO SEE ANGEL STAND UP FOR HIMSELF AGAINTS VALENTINO AND SLOWLY BECOMING A BETTER PERSON (it’s made me smile)

AND LASTLY THAT SIR PENTIOUS AS A CRUSH ON CHERRI BOMB (kinda made me sad because I used to ship him with nifty but Cherri bomb x sir pentious are cute too tho not canon… yet maybe

[cillacantstudysosheshere]

The way I actually feel like crying every time Angel is on screen bro

Babyyy, he improved so much, he has always cared but now he is not afraid to show it.

In this episode he was honest about being tired after a long shoot with Val instead of putting on a facade like he did in ep 4, he was responsible at the club despite Cherri, he protected Nifty from what usually happens to him in places like that, he stood up to Valentino, he listened to Husk and he is now 100% respecful towards him and not only that he is sweet to him, VULNERABLE.

Damn it he even sounds different, his voice is now lower, more real.

In 8 episodes you can't expect to see every moment of the 6 months that have passed since ep 1, but we see his development down to details like this and I am eating this UP.

I don't know how he'll take the trial news but damn I am ready to suffer. I want to hug this stupid spider he deserves love.

WHY AM I JUST NOW NOTICING THAT EMILY IS BALD IN HER TRUE FORM 💀

IT SHINES 😭😭😭

[elijahs-dumps]

HUSKERDUST IS AMAZING!!! ... sort of

Okay, so, Hazbin Hotel. Obviously HUGE SPOILER WARNING ahead, but this show was fantastic! I've been a fan of Vivziepop's work for a while now, and even though I don't really enjoy Helluva Boss, I was really looking forward to Hazbin for many years. However, just because you really enjoyed something doesn't mean you can't acknowledge its flaws. And in a show with as many pacing issues as Hazbin, where do you even begin? Well, my personal main issue with the show was Huskerdust. Not because the ship isn't likeable, it's simply because most of what I didn't like about the show can link back to these two characters and their dynamic. So I guess I'm using them as my Trojan's horse in a way!

Huskerdust, which is the ship name between Husk and Angel Dust, is one of the main romances within Hazbin Hotel. Vivzie told us it would be a slow burn pretty early on, but honestly I think this ship is one of the fastest slow burns known to man. I mean, they had a cutesy little duet where they danced together in the fourth episode! This is tied to an underlying issue with the show's pacing all together. If Hazbin had more episodes like it should've, I think this "slow burn" concept would've worked better. Considering the fact we only had episodes, and the two characters still haven't really "confessed" or kissed yet, I suppose you could call it whatever you want to really.

The two characters and their dynamic is set up very early on, even in the pilot. It'll usually go something like, Angel will target Husk because he's the only one Angel can get a reaction out of in the hotel. Angel will do anything from making an innuendo, to literally sexually harassing Husk. And naturally, Husk will get frustrated because Angel is pushing his boundaries. Do I think it's weird that a show which talks about SA still uses sexual harassment as the butt of its jokes? Yeah, I think it's super weird and a little insensitive. But it's not my place to comment on such matters because I'm not properly educated, so I'm just gonna brush over it for now. It just makes this ship a little tough to swallow for me, considering Angel's blatant disregard for Husk's feelings.

However, even though Husk is the only one Angel can toy with at the hotel, Husk is also the only one who "sees through" Angel and the fake persona he uses as a means to cope and protect himself. This creates conflict, because Husk will call Angel out when Angel pushes his buttons, and Angel will get defensive and lash out. We see this in episode four; Masquerade. After a bad "shoot" with Valentino, Angel comes back to the hotel and gets into an argument with Husk which causes him to storm out. Charlie and Vaggie send Husk after him, and Husk finds Angel at a dive bar of some kind (I think).

Before we continue with Huskerdust, I've got something major I need to get off my chest about this episode. If Charlie is so "madly powerful' like Lucifer, and she knows Angel is being mistreated by Val, why can't she free Angel from his contract? Or at least try to talk to Angel about his situation after this episode? Maybe she did, and we just didn't see it because of the five-month-long time skip (which is another problem with this show's pacing), or maybe soul contracts work outside of angelic power. But I feel like it would've been nice if they told us that Charlie tried to help Angel more, just for my own peace of mind. Because to me, I just felt like Husk and Charlie brushed off the reality of Angel's situation very easily, regardless of that the fact that they're in Hell or not. I get that shitty things probably happen in Hell all the time, but c'mon!

Speaking of Charlie, this show does an awful lot of telling when it comes to Charlie's issues and not a lot of showing, Her "daddy issues" are one example of this, but right now I'm talking about how the characters often mention that Charlie solves everyone's problems to avoid her own. I thought this could be a interesting character flaw in hindsight, because wanting to solve everyone's problems for them can lead to a lot of boundaries being pushed, and character conflict arising. I was a bit surprised when Charlie immediately left the studio after Angel yelled at her, and seemed to handle is extremely maturely. She even goes as far as to blame what happened on herself when it was clearly Valentino's fault. While I think it's cool that Charlie handled everything so well, I also would've liked to see her struggle with this a little more. I think the concept of Charlie not knowing when to back off could be a good opportunity for some actual growth from her, instead of her development or growth just being explained to us every episode. Unfortunately though, Hazbin clearly didn't have the time for this kind of character work because the show is so plot heavy.

Back to the ship, once Husk finds Angel the two sing a song called Loser, Baby. Which is basically Husk trying to cheer Angel up and get him to stop self-loathing so much. I'll get a little personal for a minute and say if I was Angel this would not have worked on me at all. While I do think Angel has some self-hatred problems, his issues clearly run so much deeper than that. However, this was obviously just the first step in Angel's long road to healing I suppose, considering he only opened up to Husk so much. That being said, it's not like we even get to see Angel heal or develop further because of the time skip. Something else that rubbed me the wrong way with this whole scene was how Husk tried to relate to Angel by speaking about his own experience with Alastor. We find out that Husk used to be an Overlord, and that he lost his soul to Alastor in some kind of bet or card game. Alastor is one of our main characters, and they really put him up side by side with Valentino, out of the blue like that, like... Let's all think logically for a minute. This, combined with that one scene from episode five, made me like Alastor a little less. I understand that Alastor is sick and twisted, he's completely and undeniably evil. But seeing how his actions directly affect another member of our main cast was really off putting, and it put such a huge damper on this "found family" energy that Hazbin Hotel was clearly was aiming for.

Oh, and remember when I mentioned Valentino? Yeah, he's not safe either. I didn't even think twice about this character until one of my friends told me Val was their favorite character. It made me look back on all his scenes, and I realized something. He's actually really funny, and pretty entertaining to watch. Even the way he talks about Angel Dust when Angel Dust isn't present is played for the laughs. If anything, the way Val acted in episode four was a complete 180 from episode two. I thought this was a questionable writing choice, I'll be honest. Why would you purposefully write this character to be almost likeable to a certain extent, only to have him commit inexcusable crimes in the next episode. Look, if you're a Valentino fan, good for you. I'm not going to tell anyone not to like a certain character, because that's just not fair. I just personally disagree with the way Val was written. I think trying to paint Val as if he's just like every other character on this show whenever he's not actively abusing Angel really diminishes Angel's suffering from a viewer perspective.

I also feel like episode four kind of dug it's own grave in a sense, regardless of anything I've said so far. Because this episode is entirely about Angel Dust, he obviously gains development and growth from it. And in a show like Hazbin, with poor pacing and not enough time to flesh out characters, Angel's current development now sets him apart from anybody else in the entire series. Now even Charlie, the main character, seems one dimensional when compared to Angel Dust.

Circling back to Huskerdust again, I should probably acknowledge that Husk and Angel never even got another real one-on-one interaction after this episode for the rest of the show! Except for a really small one in episode six. But they literally exchange like three sentences, and about four or five months have passed between episode four and six, so do with that what you will. Not to mention, Husk refers to Angel as “kid” in one of these sentences. While I do think the age gap between Angel and Husk is strange, I feel like it’s easily defendable. I’m sure once Husk and Angel actually become a couple, Husk will stop calling Angel a kid. And we all know Angel isn’t a legal minor by any means. I don’t think it was necessary for the story though, and the two easily could’ve been made closer in age so this ship wouldn’t seem as… peculiar. Let's also remind ourselves that Huskerdust somehow has more substance than the main pre-existing couple. Yet again, this is just a side effect of "too much to do, not enough time to do it". But we will save the Chaggie discussion for another day...

So, do any of these things make Huskerdust bad? No, not in my opinion, at least. I'm still rooting for this ship no matter what, and I will personally be storming Prime Video HQ if they don't become canon next season. I think all ships and shows have their own problems, and for whatever reason the problems within Hazbin Hotel stood out to me more than I was expecting. Still, I did enjoy this show a lot. I might even do another post about it soon. And I'll definitely be counting down the days until season two drops!
