Caham, *taps mic* is this thing on?

Ok, so, I've seen a few theories about Alastor's deal with (probably) Lilith and how when he makes a deal with Charlie we can see his smile is kind of stiched on by ✨️green magic✨️, and also when he pulls Husk's chains it's the same green as well as when he uses any other of his powers, implying this "deal" is where he got his powers from.

But anyways, what I mean to talk about is just about the colors, as an artist.

Red vs Green and the Seven Rings of Hell

In the Hellaverse created by vivzie where Hazbin Hotel takes place, Hell is divided in seven rings, each commanded by a sin: Idk the order of them, but the upper ring, Pride, is commanded by Lucifer.

Each ring has a color scheme, you can tell that when you watch Helluva Boss (the other viv series), where the characters visit the other rings all the time. Pride's color scheme is red. That's why most of things in Hazbin Hotel are red, from the sky to the character designs. Which is really cool, because it makes for a really unified color scheme in all the show.

The main exception to this are the Vees. Valentino and Velvette are more pink and red, with some tones of purple, but Vox mainly, is basically blue. I think that's a really smart choice of the designers, because having everything, specially the main team being all red-coded and then having the villains go around in blue (blue and red are usually the opponent colors when you are, say, playing a two-person game) is a smart way to visually show how they are not on the same side. Because of the ✨️contrast✨️.

Which brings me to my main point, Alastor's green magic.

If you take a look at the Color Wheel, you see that red and green are opposite colors. In color theory, we call thise opposites complementary colors. And the thing about complementary colors is that they contrast. You want an easy way of having two different bright colors contrast? Make them complementary to each other. Color pallettes like this are nice because one color tones the other up and it visually brings a lot of energy.

That's why Alastor's magic is green, I think.

It's green in order to clash with everything else, because complementaries are the most far away possible from each other, and so, when green is surrounded by red, the green pops.

It's green to catch our attention.

when i started watching voltron, in july 2016, it was a weird moment in my life. i didn’t believe in myself, i had no friends at university (and i still don’t ahha...) and i was homesick shitless. the only way of comfort i had was the tv shows i was watching at the time to distract me from thinking how miserable i felt. at that time i was into miraculous ladybug a lot, and soon i noticed that a lot of the blogs i followed started posting about this voltron show. it wasn’t quite clear to me what it was at first, i had no idea it was a reboot or whatever, but the fanarts seemed pretty cool and funny, and i immediately noticed there was a lot of focus about a certain duo in particular coughcoughcough and i sorta understood what type of ship those two were: the type i like.

anyways, i started watching this show out of mere curiosity because no one couldn’t shut tf up about it, and at first i was only mildly invested. the characters were enjoyable, the animation was gorgeous and it felt to me like it was more of a “yay the power of friendship!” kinda deal. i didnt feel strongly towards klance, or even at all. yeah at the beginning i was like “it’s ok but i guess i’m here for the found family trope more”. then i don’t know what happened, i gave season 1 a quick rewatch because i felt like my viewing of it had been a tad too superficial, and then i got swooped in. and klance became so quickly, so so so so quickly, probably one of my fave ships of all time. i dont watch too many shows nor i get invested in ships that much unless they cover all the peculiar aspects that i personally like. i can count on one hand the ships that i’m truly passionate for, and klance is one them. and it’s important to me and it was (and still is!) very comforting to have something i could enjoy so deeply in all of these years my mental health was in really bad states. to be fair this whole show and fandom affected my mental health as well but whatever lmao, i’m not here to mention all the discourse and all of the bad stuff the show did or i’ll get a fucking headache before i finish.

this is getting way too long so i’ll get to the point immediately. voltron as a show went downhill season by season and most of their writing choices have been bad, careless and problematic. so bad that as i was saying it affected me (and probably other ppl too) mentally. but what i will always take with me from this whole experience are a lot of things. this is the fandom i personally made more posts about. it really sparked my creativity and not only that, i learned a lot of news things. life is a constant learning experience and you never stop learning something and i’m glad for that. i got to know a lot of new people, some who i can proudly call my friends. and just in general i admire the passion of every creator that contribuited something to the fandom, whether it’s with art, or a fan fiction or even a simple post. i admire your passion and talent not just about the voltron/klance content created, but in general. it’s inspiring to see and i wish you all the best in the future. so a big thanks especially to these people because it’s what made it worth staying.

everytime the show would fuck something up, there would always be some piece of fanart or a fic that would make me smile immediately. and it still is that way and probably will be that way after season 8. this was meant to be a goodbye but it more turned into a thank you to the people who created the content in the fandom that we all know and love. and it’s thanks to you all that the true potentials of this show have been explored like they should have and DESERVED TO, it’s thanks to y’all if something like klance will live on and i’m happy about that. i dont even have an opinion on s8 nor i do care that much, (there will be ofc be spoilers on this blog for it) but this is the final closure so yeah that’s all i have to say. bye voltron it was a ride, but at least i got something to take with me even though i only care about your characters, the animation and klance than I will ever care for your stupid ass plots ❤️❤️❤️❤️ maybe let the gays be happy next time xoxoxo

And the Kalafina for the “band” part. Got all their albums ^^’, which, considering I never do, it’s saying a lot favourite colour: all shades of blue favourite animal: all prehistorical lions and big felines. Wonderful creatures  time right now: 20:47 // 8:47 PM average hours of sleep: 6 or 7 Cat or dog person: Cat, cat, cat. I was a dog person back then, but 13 years with my black furball converted me :P Favourite fictional character: Big problem here, I’ve got so many. But Saber Arturia and Fate-installments-bar/sn Gilgamesh deserve the spot. number of blankets I sleep with: Is... is this a question? Anyway, it’s winter, so a bed sheet and then a big feather-filled duvet.  dream trip: to Owachomo bridge in Utah, to admire the starry sky dream job: either being a researcher or a writer. But if writing remain a fandom or online thing I’ll be alright. I’d absolutely love to became a medievalist and contribuite to dispel so many stupid black legends about the Middle ages which still plague my country’s historical education. Regine Pernoud as an inspiration, here i go. Even becoming a “simply” history professor will do, tho.  when did you make this blog: May 2016. current number of followers: 86! I’m in the “baby dragon” stage for a blog! when did your blog reach it’s peak: not the blog, but one of my SW art has made it past 700 notes. Unbeliavable, but Im glad people are liking it :) what made you decide to get Tumblr: I needed to regularly follow some blogs and wanted an HP community, especially in the wake of Cursed Child. I’m so, so glad I was first exposed to love, accurate depictions and excited reactions to the play instead of all the hate steaming from a without context list of spoilers and a shallow summary. If you shit on TCC, you gotta deal with me.    Character I’d date: Caster Gil? Maybe? He’ll get bored after minutes tho, unless he likes stories, history nerd ramblings or weapons. how many blogs do I follow: 166. What do I post about:  The trinity Star Wars - Harry Potter - Fate franchise, some photos here and there, history articles, few non-Fate anime, my art (behind schedule, behind schedule, behind schedule Im sorry!! >___<) and fic, either in progress o in the concept work stage. And now I’m beginning to post about the writing process in general. Do I get asks regularly: Nope, but it will be lovely. I’ve got one yesterday (who are you, misterious King Hassan anon?) and it was exciting XD Aesthetic: Im not really familiar with this concept, sorry ^^

Not tagging today, already done, don’t wanna bother. Anyone’s welcome tho :P
