If I had a nickel for every time there was a musical number where a pink character sang a pop song about their sexual abuse and unresolved trauma with the song ending with them crying and having a mental breakdown...

I’d have TWO nickels!

all the queens: oh my life was so sad, i had it the worst :(

I HAVE AN OPINION I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE EITH THE CLASS:

I LIKE SIX THE MUSICAL RIGHT? BUT WHEN IT COMES TO LISTENING TO IT, I PHYSICALLY CANNOT LISTEN TO THE CAST RECORDING OF ALL YOU WANNA DO, IT NEEDS TO BE THE LIVE/OPENING NIGHT VER. THE CAST RECORDING MAKES THE SONG SOUND SO MUCH LESS EMOTIIONAL AND MORE LIKE K HOWARD IS JUST A PLAYER THAT LIKES FLIRTING WITH GUYS, THE LIVE RECORDING SOUNDS SO MUCH MORE RAW AND EMOTIONAL, ESPECIALLY AT THE END, ITS BETTER AT SHOWING HOW SHE WAS JUST A FUCKING KID AND HOW SHE WAS HURT.

“Female rage this female rage that” (they show a video of someone slightly pissed off) NO FEMALE RAGE IS KATHRINE HOWARDS LAST CHORUS OF ALL YOU WANNA DO.

I thought this time was different,

Why did I think he'd be different?

KILL ME OR SOMETHING THIS IS THE BEST SONG. HER VOICE IS SO FUCKING GOOD.

[thediamondarcher]

this part hits so different when you've been abused AND manipulated, the desperation in realizing you've been abused while you thought it was your choice the whole time, the feeling of guilt because you didn't realize sooner you were being used/abused. I love this song so much, it means so much to me and it's literally perfect

People who have been following me since 2022 will know that I have a bad habit of becoming obsessed with things I haven't actually watched. The Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers film became my new special interest in 2022, but I didn't watch it in full until 2023, when I finally got Disney+.

Well, it's happening again.

Right now, I'm mildly obsessed with Hazbin Hotel.

Now, I haven't seen none of it. I've watched the pilot on YouTube, and I've watched the first episode of the Prime Video series (which is freely available on YouTube). I don't have Prime Video, so I haven't seen the rest of it.

But I have been listening to the songs, browsing Tumblr for talking points, and watching scattered clips and reviews and essays on YouTube - which is basically what I was doing with Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.

I'm a Christian (awkward!), and it initially bothered me that the show didn't mention God or Jesus at all. Not that I'd have wanted them to poke fun at God or Jesus ... but I'd assumed the series was meant to be a satire of Christianity, pointing out how much it sucks that its believers can be so judgmental and unforgiving when the faith is supposed to be about love and forgiveness. So I was quite surprised by the reveal that the angels don't actually know what gets you into Heaven. What, you don't even have the Ten Commandments? You don't have any rules that you impose? You can't satirise Christianity if you don't understand what you're satirising!

But upon reflection, I guess Hazbin Hotel is meant to be seen more as a cautionary tale about hypocrisy and second chances and redemption - about those concepts in general, rather than how they're (mis)used specifically by Christians. It's about how the people preemptively labelled "bad" who do bad things are clearly proving they're bad, while the people labelled "good" who do bad things are defended and justified because there must have been a good reason for what they did. Even if a good reason isn't apparent. And the settings of Heaven and Hell are just being used as vehicles for that social commentary.

It seems as though Hazbin Hotel is not really about Heaven and Hell, it's about life on Earth. But there are still some things that are interesting to think about from a theological viewpoint.

To close this slightly rambling post, here are some even more scattered thoughts, which may evolve if I actually get to watch the full thing:

EMILY IS PRECIOUS AND MUST BE PROTECTED!

"You Didn't Know" is a banger!

As is "Poison". Kind of reminds me of "All You Wanna Do" from Six: The Musical - in that it's a bop, but the lyrics are dark because they're about sexual abuse.

I really enjoy the "I'm a Disney Princess in a Hellish landscape" thing that Charlie's got going on.

EMILY IS PRECIOUS AND MUST BE PROTECTED!

I hope we get to see more of Emily and more of Heaven in the second season.

I wasn't sure about Vaggie at first, but she's grown on me.

My favourite characters are Charlie, Vaggie, Emily and Angel Dust. I refer to them as Charlie's Angels.

EMILY IS PRECIOUS AND MUST BE PROTECTED!

After a year of basically binge-watching loads of kids' cartoons on Disney+, it's still feels jarring to watch a cartoon where people say the F-word a lot.

Wait, Angel Dust has a twin sister? Molly? And she might be in Heaven? Is that girl with four legs we see in Heaven supposed to be Molly, or is she just a random background character? Why is she in Heaven when Angel Dust isn't? Are they going to be reunited? Is Molly friends with Emily?

EMILY IS PRECIOUS AND MUST BE PROTECTED!

Oooo do you have a favourite queen of Henry VIII - SIX version or otherwise?

I mean, Anna von Kleve is an absolute legend, she did what she had to do and outlived literally all of them. What a queen. Got rich and helped run the court, I believe, without being under the king's thumb, because she wasn't his wife and lived in a palace of her own. I know the most about her.

But I do want to know more about Catherine Howard, the fifth wife. Her story is filled with such pain disguised as pride and vanity in the SIX musical, and then you think about how she was just thirteen, and how many people must have shared her story, blamed for something they had no control over. History.

Hey history side of tumblr got anything please?

I'm not too proud of this drawing but I spent way too long on it!

Feedback is appreciated!
