#arackniss hates his life

[mamamangaka]

Arackniss: so since you’re dating my brother -

Husk: married to him, thanks, but keep going.

Arackniss: - don’t you think you should meet our father?

Husk: I don’t care either way, I just don’t wanna hear your old man bitch when Angel calls me daddy.

Arackniss: I hate this fucking family.

Hi! Here’s what your favorite Hazbin Hotel ship says about you!

Radiodust: You're an old-timer who's been around since the pilot. One off-handed joke about Angel Dust wanting to suck Alastor's dick was all it took for you to start shipping them. You always ship the two most attractive male characters together in your fandoms, even if they have no real connection

Huskerdust: I’m not going to touch this one because I’ll probably get death threats if I don’t tell the Huskerdust fandom exactly what they want to hear

Radiorose: Hello, aro-ace community! You love this because they're the closet thing to a canon queerplatonic couple that currently exists in mainstream media, and as a fellow aro-ace, I’m in the exact same boat

Chaggie: You like the idea of forbidden love, but you're not interested in handling all of the social/political ramifications of it, and would prefer to conveniently gloss over both of those things just like in the show. This ship has the flavor profile of vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips, and so does your personality

Lucifer/Lilith: You only want one thing in this life, and that is for a powerful woman to step on your neck. You are a bottom to end all bottoms

Radioapple: Daddy kink, but in a voyeuristic way. You like watching two dads doing each other, but there is no way you’d ever let them touch you, no, all you want is to watch them go at it

Rosiemilla: Mommy kink, but in a voyeuristic way

Radiohusk: Oh, you would let a man do unspeakable things to you if he was hot enough. You read dark romances and you want a dark romance to happen to you in real life

Cherrisnake: You are absolutely terrible at handling your feelings for everyone you've ever crushed on, and will try to convince yourself that you hate the object of your affections because you lack the courage needed to make a move on them. It would take a life or death situation for you to tell your crush how you really feel about them, and even then you'd be more afraid of telling them than of dying

Guitarspear: Hello, Adam simps! You binge-read workplace romances and you fantasise about dating your boss even though he's a dick 90% of the time. Strangely, the fact that he's a dick makes you even more attracted to him

Staticmoth: Your ideal ship is two horrible people who deserve each other. You want what they have, but at the same time you don't

Zestmilla: Your preferred aesthetic is old married couple core, and I respect that. You binge-read found family fics on AO3, and your favorite tag is hurt/comfort

Radiostatic: You love the idea of someone being obsessed with you when you have no interest in them. You like to laugh at their, quite frankly, pathetic attempts to get you to notice them, and you're waiting for the day when the penny will drop and they'll realise that they are nothing to you, and never will be

Arackpentious: You have never cared about canon, and you don't intend to start now. You probably simp for Sir Pentious and use Arackniss as a self-insert. We know barely any canon information about him, so it's easy for you to project yourself onto him so that you can get doubly-dicked down by the Victorian snake man

Charlastor: You're all about the aesthetic. You got into this ship because there's an abundance of gorgeous fanart for it, even if there's no chance of them being together in canon. You don't care about that, however, because they look beautiful together and that's all that matters to you

Radiomimzy: You wish that the old canon of Mimzy being Alastor's girlfriend was still canon

Royalhalo: You hate Vaggie and you think that Charlie deserves better than her, and who better than the sugary sweet angel who was the first to hear Charlie out and argue in her favor when she found out the truth about the exterminations?

Cherridust: You are aggressively heterosexual and you believe that it is impossible for a man and a woman to be friends without one or both secretly harboring feelings for the other. You binge-read friends to lovers fics on Wattpad, and if a man so much as says hi to a woman, you will ship them

Cherrimoth: You like enemies to lovers, but in a bitch eating crackers kind of way. You either have a crush on someone that you love to hate from afar, or you want to fall in love with someone who hates you from afar

Sloppy Arackniss Redesign (?)

Before I get into this, clarifying, I SAY SLURS IN THIS!!! I CAN RECLAIM SAID SLURS!!! That is all thank you. I kiss boys and love men. Carry on.

Arackniss’s design is bound to change drastically sometime eventually but atm this is just what im doing. My main problem is how he just looks exactly like angel but black. I know thats originally what the whole thing is and they’re opposites but it’s just kinda boring now. Angel is an entirely different character at this point now and Arackniss’s design should accommodate the changes while still being a bit similar looking. I want him to still look very similar to Angel in specific ways like that stupidass headshape but not because of a sibling thing. Honestly when the two were alive they hardly looked anything alike I’m 100% sure of that. Antonio (Arackniss) had black hair and much broader features and was relatively tall and kind of bulky while Anthony & Molly had light blonde hair and more subtle and soft round features and basically one of the only ways to tell them apart aside from personality was Anthony having polycoria and having bloodshot eyes pretty often.

Arackniss hardly looks how he did when he was alive anymore and has taken on many more features of Angel because of his deep rooted rivalry with his brother. I assume hating your middle-child brother that literally got named after you only to have him overdose and kill himself before actually doing anything with his life is enough to stir up more than a little bit of inner turmoil. These guys probably beat each other up OFTEN. Antonio was the first born son and dealt with so much shit before these other guys even were born and when they did show up, Anthony was named after him because their parents honestly just got lazy, and even though Molly didn’t have the name Molly yet, she was still treated like a golden child even though she contributed next to nothing to the family business which yeah that helped her in the long run but to Antonio that’s his number one priority in life. Appeasing his family is what keeps his brain running. And with that, seeing this random kid show up, get named after you, and be treated so much more leniently than you were AND he’s practically your problem because youre 15 hes like fucking 3 years old and your parents are busy all of the goddamn time AND when you DIE you take on the traits of this stupid fucking kid. He has a horrid case of eldest child syndrome and probably some insane identity issues.

This isn’t to say his hatred is only directed at Anthony either, he definitely has his issues with Molly as well, but she kept more to herself and even if she followed Anthony nonstop she was copying what Anthony was doing instead of what he was doing. Copying is the highest form of flattery but flattery gets annoying when everyone cares about the younger “better behaved” version of you. This is one of the biggest reasons Arackniss berates Angel now and in the past. Even though they havent spoken in years, Arackniss still holds Angel to the status of “faggot” because that was practically the only thing he was “worse” than him at. It was the biggest dirt he had on Angel possible to the point that became a genuine used name for him as Anthony “the fag” Benetti. Finding out your angel of a brother is gay during a time where it’s heavily frowned upon, especially by your own family is like a gold mine.

Arackniss is NOT a good person if you couldn’t somehow tell already. He’s homophobic, has a masculinity and classism problem, has little to no regard for other’s well being, and a bunch of other shit. For as distressed as he was over Anthony’s death, a lot of it was because it left their family even more dysfunctional. To him it was Anthony abandoning everyone because they weren’t worth enough to keep him going and then in return he continues to be praised and talked about so wonderfully as if he never did anything wrong “just because he’s dead”.

Thats just BEFORE Arackniss died too! AFTER dying shit got even worse to the extent he ended up even getting disowned! How fun!! This part delves more into Husk and his backstory as well which I think I may save for another time, but these guys know each other and have a lot of beef and also simultaneously are kind of chill in an odd way? By the way, Angel also has the big neck puff, he just shaves it because he doesn’t like the look and like association from trauma

[theoisdaydreaming]

What I want angel and Arackniss's relationship to be:

So, we can see arackniss watching the news about the battle with heaven in the last chapter.

I want next season to start with arackniss knocking on the hotels door and becoming a guest there, Wich angel finds rare and begins avoiding his brother.

I want the general trope to be, they both think the other hates them; so things are tense at the hotel.

Also, the older brother does something to protect little brother but the other doesn't know it?? And that thing leads them apart trope??? Yes pls

Maybe they can have a 'arackniss thinks it's his fault angel died' cuz I remember in older drawings that the backstory was that they died together (don't know if that changed) but if not, what if angel did died but arackniss survives and so he blames himself for his brothers death for the rest of their life's and once in hell he can't reconnect with angel because he thinks he hates him but really not but actually kinda because hello? I'm beings abused and put under a soul binding contract?? Why are you avoiding me??? And thus ✨miscommunication✨

[purplestars222]

Hazbin hotel headcannons!!!!

just general stuff i think the characters do!!

(radiodust, staticmoth, vees are poly, chaggie, pentniss, little bit of radioapple if you squint, also one sided huskerdust/angeldusk)

characters: Alastor, angeldust, lucifer, charlie, vaggie, husk, sir pentious, arackniss, baxter, niftyz cherri bomb, the vees.

cw: nsfw!!! valentino

Minors do not interact.

definitely vapes. since he has to stay sober, i think he would vape to take the edge off a bit :)

Angeldust

in an attempt to get alastor to actually like him, he lays off the flirting a little, and cooks for him from time to time, he mainly just makes different pastas

He teaches alastor italian, and alastor teaches him french

Hates arackniss most of the time, but loves teasing him about being a bottom with pentious (hes a switch)

Alastor

he cooks for others to show he cares

i dont think he'd be a fan of imps ir hellhounds, idk why i just get that feeling

HE IS STINKY.

hes curious about arackniss because hes the opposite of angel, so they have drinks together sometimes- alastor always asks questions about angels past

he doesn't believe that he likes angel at first, but angel starts letting his walls down, and alastor realises hes actually an interesting individual!

Charlie

she just wants her dads to get along!

she puts together trust exercises specifically for alastor and lucifer to get closer but it drives them apart

She loves taking care of vaggie, it makes her feel useful. Whenever vaggie isnt feeling well, she only lets her leave bed when necessary. She gets everything she needs.

Lucifer

hes a switch but prefers to bottom, lillith 100% pegs him.

Cooks breakfast at the hotel on weekends for the main guys- alastor started helping too out of spite, trying to make his food taste better.

Always does things to prove hes better than alastor, hes mainly just trying to get als attention but he pays him no mind.

Vaggie

If anyone looks at charlie the wrong way or touches her without consent she goes fucking beserk. If she ever finds out about what valentino did, she'll kill him herself.

Husk

has a pretty close relationship with lucifer! they play board games together and lucifer sometimes vents to her

they shit talk alastor together

vaggie vents to him aswell

him and angel watch movies together sometimes and cuddle! alastor does not approve, but him and angel arent together so he cant really do anything, because it makes angel happy.

Sir pentious

He loves angels chest fluff and sometimes purrs into it when they're cuddling. angel teases him for it, but in a cute way

he practises magic tricks with angel when they're having a movie night.

him and angel sometimes fuck, for angel is just sex with a close friend but husk really likes him, husk just knows alastor likes angel too and he does NOT wanna fuck with alastor.

when angel and alastor get together he hides away in his room for a few days, he only tells charlie what happened

Autistic. Most autistic guy in the show (until we get baxter at least)

Doesn't understand why niss doesn't say hes only half a bottom when angel teases him about it

when angel asks about his sex life with niss (as a joke) his whole face turns red and he screams "Itss none of your businessss!!" and slithers off as fast as he can, angel thinks its fucking hilarious to get him flustered

Nifty

Proudest dad of his egg bois, he sometimes makes little outfits for them and they out on mini plays for him and arackniss about very random stuff, they can never tell if the plays are based on true events or not.

he has a giant heat lamp in his room, he lays under it and reads

She plays with dead bugs, her favourite thing is playing with corpses of dead bugs in front of other bugs

She has a pink bed and her room is always spotless

she loves alastors cooking, she refuses to eat lucifers food if alastor has cooked something too

straight, during pride she puts an excessive amount of pride flags everywhere, every different type too, the hotel is covered in them.

Arackniss

him and angel tease each other alot. arackniss mainly teases him for being in love with a red deer.

he confesses first to pentious, and pentious is a flustered mess.

hes overprotective with the egg bois, he kinda freaks if one is missing

smokes in the hotel lobby even tho charlie hates it, vaggie yells at him all the time for it

he always needs pentious' tail wrapped around at least one of his legs to sleep, the contact gives him comfort

he loves tying pentious up during sex

Cherri bomb

Baxter

autism!!!!

if you touch anything in his lab he will have a meltdown- everything has its own perfect place and it cannot be adjusted.

he accidentally blows up his lab alot, it causes alot of hotel damage

he uses his little light to read at night

definitely believes in some crazy ass conspiracy theories

only at the hotel to research the whole redemption thing.

he loves leviathan

tells people to eat spoonfuls of vegemite as a prank, when alastor enjoys it she doesn't find it funny anymore and stops

Vox

when people piss her off she speaks with a real hardcore aussie accent and uses alot of slang, also talks fast.

she is aboriginal :3

she secretly watches bluey with angeldust

she absolutely loves making people try australian snacks like fairy bread, jaffas, pavlova, sausage sangas, smiths chips on a sandwich ect

pentious and her are besties!

(i love my aussie girl <3 none of you are allowed to disagree with me because these are my headcannons)

glitches when hes about to cum

Velvette

gets overheated during sex sometimes so he has to stop to cool down

his penis is robotic and it can pop off and back on. he has a bunch of different ones he can use, val can choose what one he uses.

listens to musicals and sometimes performs them with val, specifically heathers

hes really jealous of angeldust, he wants val's attention as much as he can possibly get it

Vel & val play video games on vox's screen sometimes. Velvette always beats him at whatever theyre playing cos that fucker is blind

Valentino

Prefers having sex with women, only man she really ever fucks is vox, most the time she just fucks her models.

practices makeup on valentino, also constantly makes fun of him for being blind & bald

she does drag with valentino and they out on little fashion shows for vox

He can only see 3 metres in front of him

Vox and vel have to help him with paperwork

Vox gets mad at him because of how many cords he has lying around

has the most insane sex toy collection, he has everything.

he vents to vox's sharks sometimes. he knows vox can hear him but he just pretends he doesnt know

ty for taking the time to read!!! drink water and eat today darling!!! <33

angel dust and jumping and wings -- some thoughts

i think i saw somewhere that angel is a jumping spider (which i know is true) while henroin and arackniss are tarantulas(?)

and rn i'm thinking a lot about the significance of not only angel being a different type of spider to them, but also being specifically a jumping spider (other than jumping spiders being cute as hell)

like, alone. is that a nod toward his hypersexuality/impulsiveness? is it a nod toward how he made a massive jump from his old life to his new one? is it a nod toward his hypervigilance (jumpiness)? is it a nod toward his yo-yo'ing drug problem (getting literally and figuratively high)? is it a juxtaposing nod toward his relationship with valentino? like, valentino keeps angel "grounded" thus removing a significant part of his being?

additionally, if angel being a jumping spider specifically is thematically relevant, i'm almost curious if val hates angel's feet so much because they signify his freedom...?

like if val makes angel wear those massive fucking boots, which hide not just his feet but most of his legs, it would make most sense that he would do this because he found them threatening in some way, and not because he found them genuinely disgusting (it does not make sense to me that the porn overlord can't stomach feet, basically the most common fetish of all time. though maybe there’s just some intentional irony there).

not to mention that jumping spiders jump specifically to escape/hunt. val could be covering up angel's perceived most dangerous parts to protect himself and the slipping control he has over angel and what remains of their relationship. plus, jumping in heels, especially from the heights angel is able to achieve? ow.

something-something about valentino also being actively draped in his wings as a coat, wearing his freedom/ability to fly proudly to the point where it is inseparable from his status, and using it as a tool to suppress (the scene with the fire in episode 4)

as an aside, is it canon that husk hates using his wings? bc if it is there's definitely a lot of room for exploring their conjoined narratives in relation to angel's non-jumping (self-imposed or externally enforced) and husk's distaste toward flight. emphasizes the theme of rock bottom for the both of them.

also it's interesting that arackniss and henroin are a large spider species while angel is a tiny one. definitely reads to me as a nod toward the oppression angel lived under while alive

i am also thinking about how angel fights largely by staying stationary and shooting. the absolute opposite to jumping spiders as predators. with the one time he actually uses his jump that we see in-series (and pilot) is when protecting frank from an exorcist but i could talk about that brief scene specifically for a very very long time so i won't start on that lmao

Headcannons for Hazbin Hotel characters pt. 1

Aaaaaah it’s coming out in January!!!!!

Charlie-

She moved out the second she could, not to get away from her parents but to be on her own

Her favorite holiday is Halloween, once the humans started giving out candy she was ALL for it

If she has nowhere to squeal or put her energy she stims with her hands like crazy

She gets a stutter when she’s nervous

Her favorite color is green

She’s VERY smart with knowing where to put her power, barely using it unless she really wants something or her people are in serious danger

Vaggie-

Charlie found her almost immediately after she fell, and Charlie is the only one who knows her full story

She refuses to admit her favorite color is red because “we’re in hell, vaggie, everything is red”

Is lactose intolerant

She can play the violin really well

Before even Angel got to the hotel, she made weird noises and sang a lot when going through the halls, but that stopped real quick as soon as people started coming to the hotel

Angel-

Oh boy can he not do taxes!! The mafia never paid them so when he first got out he almost went to jail twice

He started smoking at like 12 as was the norm in his time

When he was little and his mother had just died, the times his dad and brother were forced to take him somewhere, he always stood right next to them unmoving but if he so much as looked in the wrong direction his father would roughly squeeze his arm and although Arackniss was encouraged to do the same, he was a lot more gentle

He never once in his life or death ate ice cream, claiming that it was “off brand gelato” and “I refuse to be westernized, Charlie”

Was DEFINITELY nicknamed Tony

Alastor-

This one has been headcannon’d so much it’s basically cannon, but he’s REALLY good at cooking

Frequently plays games like boggle with his shadow, somehow he always comes so close to winning but never does

Along with that, he organized a bi-weekly game night at the hotel (his shadow is not allowed to participate. Alastor wins)

He always smiles because his mother told him to, but also because the first time he killed someone he was so out of it that his only response was laughter, and that’s the only reaction he had to killing people after that

Requested the largest and best suite in the hotel, but he almost never uses it because he doesn’t need to sleep and he has his radio tower. Unfortunately, he has to start using it because Vaggie threatened him the hotel actually took off

He bites. That’s why he has the 5 foot rule, and sometimes Angel tries to see how close he can get to Alastor before being bitten, and for some reason Angel never gets bitten? (It’s because Alastor is too smart for that bs and it’s safer to not respond to Angel’s dumbassery, lest he fall victim to the spider’s sexual advances)

He goes golfing !!!

Husk-

Doesn’t even have a hotel room cause he just passes out everywhere

Will never admit it but he sees Niffty as a kid sister

He pretends to be uninterested in whatever convos going on at his bar but he totally listens in and loves gossip (he gossips with Niffty 110% of the time they’re around each other)

Angel sometimes puts aluminum foil on things because he’s bored, and Husk claims not to be afraid of it because he’s a PERSON not a cat but totally jumps out of his fur and gets v scared of it. He hates it

He hates spiders

Niffty-

Gossips with ANYONE and everyone

Is only in Hell because she was cleaning up after a crime (that was her job)

Her only friends were men because they were her employers

Appearance & Personality:

Angel has a slender build and is the tallest of the main cast of characters. He is estimated to stand around 8 feet with his heels on.

His fur is white and he has a mop of fluffy white hair that extends from both the front and back of his head, with splotches of light-pink across it. He also has a distinctive and focal light-pink heart pattern on the back of his head. The light-pink outline of a heart also encircles his chest, the bottom point of which extends past his waistband and down to his crotch area.

His eyelids are light pink and the color extends up to his eyebrows, giving the effect of eyeshadow, and his lashes are dark and thick.

His irises are cerise pink. His right eye has a light yellow sclera, his left eye has a dark sclera. He has a wide mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth and possesses a single golden fang that sits slightly to his right of center, a feature he shares with his boss, Valentino. He has three cerise-pink dots under each of his eyes, which are intended to evoke freckles, although they are actually another set of smaller eyes.

One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest. The chest is actually composed entirely of fluffy fur, however, which Angel intentionally pushes up into a breast-like formation with his tightly pinned jacket for show.

Angel's everyday attire consists of a long light pink suit-blazer with horizontal white stripes down the length, reddish-grey miniskirt, and long reddish-grey thigh-high heeled boots, accessorized with a reddish-grey bowtie with a cerise pink center and a black choker. On his top set of arms he wears long cerise pink gloves with white detailing at the cuffs, on his bottom set of arms he wears long white gloves.

Though usually depicted with six limbs, Angel has a third retractable set of arms that he usually keeps hidden but can summon at will.

In background artwork seen in the pilot, Angel Dust's feet resemble those of a spider's.

How would you describe Angel Dust’s personality?

• Reckless

• Sexual (OTT)

• Sarcastic

• Sharp-witted

• Destructive

• Playful

• Vulgar

• Confident (excessive)

• Flippant

• Callous

• Cynical

<> Particularly about the idea of redemption however has a small hopeful part that it’s possible for him

As Anthony:

• Defensive

• Family orientated

• Shy

<> Through copping constant abuse from Valentino which would often make him nervous in his presence

• Hopeful

• Self assertive (outside the Porn Studios contract)

• Volatile

• Comedic (genuinely)

• Inferior

<> Seen when Charlie declared Sir Pentious as “official patron” at the Hazbin Hotel

• Attentive

<> Seen when Angel Dust rejected Cherri Bomb’s offered drugs after Husk mentioned about “undoing his progress”

• Protective

• Traumatised (via “Poison” at the end)

• Broken

Trivia:

• When it comes to physical contact Angel Dust always backs away (which is common in SA victims) seen with both Husk in “Masquerade” to bring him back to the hotel and Vaggie when throwing him off the building for a trust exercise

• The more Angel Dust (Anthony) gets upset the more his (New Yorker) accent gets thicker and automatically breaks out of his persona

• If Angel Dust hadn’t died at 30 years old he would have been around the same age as Husk if not somewhere between 12 years younger

<> However Angel is actually older than Husk down in Hell because he died first (which is kinda cool)

• Angel & Charlie have a “brother/sister” relationship (both Headcanon and implied but not confirmed)

• In a earlier draft of Angel’s character it appeared that when he blushed it showed on his upper body (face and chest area)

• Blake Roman (Angel Dust’s VA in the Hazbin Hotel series) is a huge Huskerdust fan

• Angel Dust’s birthday lands on April Fools Day (which explains he loves pranks so much 🤭)

• The name Anthony may come from the word "antonia", which means "priceless/praiseworthy and or beautiful".

<> His real name officially appears in the episode "Masquerade", signed on Valentino's soul contract.

• "Angel Dust" is Angel's chosen all-encompassing persona name, and one he uses exclusively in place of his actual name. It is intended as multipurpose for both his drag queen persona and his sex-work persona.[30] It is also a possible reference to his mode of death, a drug overdose.

* Whenever Angel is outside of work and doesn't feel the need to maintain his public persona, he prefers to dress in very cozy, comfortable, unsexualized clothing.

• In an earlier development stream, when asked if Angel is venomous, Vivziepop stated she did not think Angel was venomous due to being based on the jumping spider. However, she returns to this in a later stream, stating that Angel's bite may be venomous. But, that venom in Hell can't actually kill anyone, it just causes temporary pain or disfigurement and making them fall ill.

• During the gang war with Sir Pentious, when Angel's shadow is cast behind him, it appears much larger than him, with six arms and glowing red eyes. This implies that Angel can possibly transform into a larger form like other sinner demons.

iirc Arackniss and Angel have a strained relationship, do you think reconciliation is possible/how'd you think it could happen?

Oh you're not gonna like this answer but probably not for the reasons you think. NOW keep in mind this is all very old information, BUT given the fact that Angel and Niss's relationship being a negative one has been a constant since Angel's conception (and I say this bc he was created almost a full year after Arackniss was) that I do think that at least the vibe may remain in place. Read more bc this gets LONG sorry lmao

They DO have a strained relationship, Viv has stated that "Arackniss probably does genuinely hate his siblings" on stream during the pilot's production. It's NOT just Angel, at least in this point in time, and he does hate Molly as well-- Though their relationship being strained is less of a pressing issue bc we all know where Molly is.

NOW the most important thing that comes down to it is WHY is their relationship strained? Modern fandom for the series would tell you that Niss is Homophobic, but that's never actually been implied OR stated anywhere to the best of my knowledge AND in old lore it's made pretty obvious that Niss's disdain for his brother is Angel's fault.

Old art of the two tells us two things: Angel bullied Niss as children, and generally he takes some smug pride in knowing that he pisses his brother off.

(Aforementioned Angel and Niss as children. Side note: YES Angel's human name is Anthony now, but almost 10 years ago it was Martin, and Niss was Jonathan.)

It's also highly implied that Angel was (at least indirectly) responsible for Arackniss's death (to the best of my knowledge), and once upon a time Arackniss was the one to kill Angel.

While I haven't been able to really FIND the reasons why Niss killed him, I've seen a LOT of different answers to that question, the fact remains that he hated him enough to do it himself, and continued to hate him well after they both died.

Now, all of this is to say that once upon a time, Niss had a pretty damn good reason for hating Angel. He made his life miserable, and presumably did the same in the after life. I'd like to believe that Arackniss's reason for hating Angel NOW, in the canon series, is also for a good reason, potentially for the same one. I'd certainly find it more interesting and less of a disservice to both of their characters than if Niss hated Angel bc (insert their Dad's opinion here) NOW, episode 2 in the series does give us a look at Angel being very jealous over the praise that Pentious is receiving; Whether or not that jealousy is actually justified is an important detail. Angel didn't even try, and became upset that he was being overshadowed despite not putting in any real effort and complaining all the while. I did get the impression that Angel was no stranger to feeling overshadowed, and may even feel like 'well there's no point in trying anyway' which could tie back into his relationship with his family. Of course it's a rough theory, but it does make sense if Angel was jealous of the praise and attention his capable older brother received. (Assuming this is the case, anyway, which I do think it is, knowing what we do about Arackniss.) I do think Angel's potential envy and jealousy could have strained their relationship, particularly as children. Maybe Angel lashed out at Niss often, and Niss decided very quickly to stop putting up with it, and it carried on throughout adulthood. Maybe Angel still got Niss indirectly killed. I do think that Niss's disdain for his siblings is, at least to him, justified for more than shallow reasons. The only way they could actually reconcile, in my opinion, is if Angel is the one to apologize and make an effort in understanding his brother... And even then it's REALLY hard to say if it would go over well. Arackniss has been described as 'sucking' by Viv and some things she's said kind of implies he's going to be a villain, or at least an antagonist, and he doesn't seem like the type to let a grudge go too easily. Their relationship could easily be a lesson for Angel in learning that sometimes apologizing isn't enough, and nobody is obligated to forgive you, and you have to move on with your life and leave things as they are, even if they suck.

Like I wouldn't be UPSET if they reconciled, I'd like that a lot! But depending on the severity of the reason for this hatred, it may or may not happen.

But uh, in my dreams the episode is basically the canned 'Spider Brothers' noir short; Niss needs Angel's help doing something, and while they fight the whole time, keeping one another from getting shot opens up a small doorway into them somewhat getting along again.

tldr; Depends. LMAO

Anthony/Angel Dust

Anthony, referred to as Angel or Angel Dust, is one of the main characters in Hazbin Hotel. Angel is the tallest of the main cast, being 8 feet in heels. While he is actively searching for redemption, he has a contract with Valentino. Valentino is basically a pimp, with Angel being his “favorite toy.” In Episode 4, Charlie decides that Angel needs to be at the hotel more, despite him needing to go to work. He works as a porn actor, as per his contract with Valentino. You can tell that he doesn’t like this. Despite his comments about how he was made for the industry, you can see the huge toll it takes on him. After Charlie goes to his work, Valentino drags Angel to his dressing room. He gets physically aggressive with Angel. At one point a chain manifests, a visible representation of the contract/bond. During this scene, Angel visibly dissociates, only giving Valentino the answers he wants to hear. After running away from the hotel, Husk is sent after him. When Husk finds him in the bar, Angel is surrounded by men. Husk watches, and a few moments later watches as someone roofies the drink. He then drags Angel from the bar. Angel breaks down after, yelling at Husk. “You think I ask for it? I don’t ask for any of this shit! I didn’t ask to be this way! I didn’t ask for Charlie to save me! I didn’t ask you to save me. I can handle myself.” It really shows how he feels about his position. Both in his position in the industry he is practically forced to work in and in his relationship with Valentino. He even goes on to say things like:

 “It’s not an act! It’s who I need to be!”

“And this, this is my escape. Where I can forget about it all. How much I hate… Everything.”

“A place where I can get high and not have to think about how much it hurts.”

“And maybe… If I can ruin myself enough in the process, if I can end up broken, I won’t be his favorite toy anymore. And maybe he’ll let me go”

It is important to note the change of tone in these voice lines as well. While Angel is a male, his voice is usually pitched up roughly an octave to sound more feminine. However, when speaking about wanting to get away from it all, the voice drops, implying Anthony is speaking, not Angel Dust. 

Angel also has two siblings, his older brother, Arackniss and his twin sister, Molly. We know from Vivziepop that Angel was originally from a film called “The Spider Brothers.” This went into Angels living past as a mobster. It is believed that he joined his families 'business’ which is what led him and his brother to be sent to hell, and his twin rejected the life and went to heaven.  Molly and Arackniss both make appearances in the main series, but as non-speaking background characters. I’ve seen many posts online about Sir Pentious meeting Molly after he goes to heaven, and it’s honestly sob-inducing to think about but still brings a comfort knowing he won’t be alone. 

It is also kinda obvious that Angel was Vivziepop’s favorite character. His wiki page trivia says “Angel was created during her later years at the School of Visual Arts college, and she recalls how she would draw him excessively, to the point her classmates would comment on it.” And even looking at the wiki, it has more information than even the main characters page. He is altogether a bit more of a well rounded character. We know more about him from before the events of Hazbin Hotel, we know about his family and their dealings. His relationships. We really know about everything there is to know about him. And I do mean everything. Since we actively see him at work, we even know what he’s into/okay with ummm… “intimately.” Even down to the fact that he hates feet. 

Altogether Angel is an amazing character with a tough past and I just want to hug him so badly. Is that so much to ask for?

OPEN STARTER: THEME (Mobster Angel)

“Mangiatevi i miei proiettili, stronzi.” All six arms out, Tommy Guns blazing as he shot up the underground bar. He had already been an amazing shot when he was alive, but being blessed with a spider body that allowed him to shoot significantly more than he ever could as a human? Incredible. He could easily work his way up to become a Mafia Overlord if he so chose to, but why would he put in the effort? Killing for sport was fun – killing for power took energy.

Henroin would be proud. He really didn’t give a fuck what Arackniss thought – him and his brother had never really been on good terms, death wasn’t going to change that. If anything he was pretty certain his brother would hate him more now that they were both dead, if only because his overdose in life had left his brother alone to deal with their dad. Not that he did it intentionally.

He tipped back his fedora, Anthony blowing the smoke off the end of his barrel. Tucking all his guns away except one – always good to have one out and be alert and prepared, especially when half of Hell had it out for you considering your alignment. He had heard that the Greed Ring had quite the mafia district, but not only was he not allowed there, but he was pretty certain he would blow them all out of the water. Which was exactly why he kept himself armed as he stepped out in his tall heels onto the grimy streets of Pride, gunshots and screams echoing around them.

Always one to collect information on others that needed to be put in their place, Anthony Giordano found himself at one of the local dive bars. He didn’t even mind that his fur was stained with blood and guts, chunks of demon skin clinging to the pin striped jacket, leaning over the bar with his gun over his shoulder to grab a glass of whiskey.

[vaggietheangel]

wonder if angel had secret relationship when alive? He died in the 40's and the son of a Mafia Boss. No way Angel could be out and proud back then. He'll probably bond with Vaggie as things got better in her time.

Hey there hun! 🩷

Cw mentions of homophobia and hate crimes

I really hope they do bond over that. Vaggie was less likely to experience biogtory, but it still existed. She could have at least had girlfriends and been somewhat open with them. She could have still lived in fear of being hate crimed. Bassed on how defensive she is around men, it could have happened sadly.

Poor Angel, he would have had an awful time. I do hope that he had a loving boyfriend when he was alive. They would have to sneak around a lot but at least he would have had someone. If he did, I hope his father never found out about it.

Arackniss, we don't know if he was homophobic or not. I hope he wasn't. Molly was supportive of him, though. If he did have a secret boyfriend, she'd cover for them. It's a good thing that he always had his sister by his side. I bet she even lent him some of her dresses.

Thankfully, by the time Vaggie was alive, life was a lot better. It wasn't perfect, homophobia still existed in 2014. But there were some laws in place to protect LGBTQ+. So if anything happened, she had more people on her side.

Vaggie and Angel may be very different, but they can still empathise with each other. Solidarity can make them feel less alone.

[sinnerzforsaintz]

//Working on 5 songs as inspo for Arackniss and now I'm having emotions

He was the oldest son and saw so much shit his siblings probably didn't even see/register because he was there getting them out of the way

He's miserable like an absolute fucking cunt of a man but he is also so emotionally traumatized that he is numb to everything and his wall just has so many fucking thorns he can't be reached

He likes it this way because he can trust this feeling because he knows disappointment and failure and anger he's lived it his whole life

Love was never really an option because love looks different coming from a father like Henroin and their mom tried but she always seemed like she was on autopilot and working through the motions

Arackniss is bitter but he isn't resentful, he's angry and he hates everything but it's not something he blames on other people

Except Anthony, Arackniss can't fucking stand Angel. He fucked up and there isn't a fucking thing he can do to fix that

You know it's not about the family right? If it was about the family molly would be down here as well. Why isn't she? Because she didn't make the terrible decisions you did. It's your fault that you are in this mess. It's your fault that you get abused and violated and drugged up everyday, crying in your little bed. Did your parents suck, yes. But do not blame everything on them. If you were a decent person, you would have had the time of your life with your sister up there.

well,  this  sucked  all  the  fun  out  of  him.  angel  never  really  liked  to  get  personal.  especially  in  front  of  someone  he  doesn't  know...  and  ESPECIALLY  if  molly's  name  got  brought  up.  his  sister  was  always  a  sensitive  subject  --  that's  why  he  never  talks  about  her.  after  all,  you  spend  nearly  you  whole  life  while  you  alive  together  --  and  then  an  ETERNITY  separated  after  death.  not  that  there  was  ever  a  chance  that  she  would  be  in  hell.  she  was  good,  despite  it  all.  she  remained  good...  unlike  angel.  unlike  arackniss.

definitely  unlike  their  father.

[theoisdaydreaming]

hi!! i loved your overlord angel dust/husk art and i commented about potentially turning it into a fic and adding your art, which you consented to. i was wondering if you had any additional ideas to make it more than a oneshot, maybe they open a casino together with mafia roots, collect souls together, etc…once again, your art was amazing!!

Thank you so much, I would love a fic about my AU (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Here are other ideas about the story:

In this AU Angel didn't worked with Valentino, he and Arackniss reconciled before Angel could sign a contract with him

That is not to say Angel wasn't doing sex work, he would take all kinds of offers, from stripping to singing gigs, just for the money

Regarding the backstory of the spider brothers I haven't really fleshed it out but here are some points of it:

They had kind of a strained relationship even though they cared for each other, because Arackniss (or Andrew as I like to think) used to put down Anthony's dreams of becoming a performer like the drag queens he liked to see (in secret) in the gay bars the Mafia used to own back in the 30s (real history btw)

He did this in hopes he would give up, leave it all behind and live a 'normal' life, out of fear their dad would disown him, or worse, kill him

It wouldn't matter anyway because both of them would die together while doing a shady work for the mob (who started the shots? They couldn't really remember)

At the beginning of their afterlife Arackniss avoided Angel with the guilt that (according to him) it was his fault his little brother got shot in the eye. (He was too far, too late, he couldn't protect his brother and now he's dead because of him)

Cause of this angel thinks his brother hates him, but they eventually encounter during a turf war that went wrong

Arackniss sees Angel surrounded and not wanting to repeat his brothers death again, he saves him this time.

They sort things out, and become closer than ever

When Arackniss figures out what angel has been doing for money they decide to start doing mob work again, they're good and people start giving their loyalty and doing contracts with them because the brothers actually care about the souls they own, deciding to learn from their father's mistakes, they respect all of their workers

furthermore, Angel gains more influence because he gave the people he met while being a sex worker, safe and living conditions; every stripper, actor, performer wanted to work with him, and with all the contracts he made, became an overlord

On the other hand, arackniss does all the shady work, sticking to the shadows, not wanting any attention. He is very prod of angel, and becomes his right hand man

Other ideas and dynamics:

Angel calls arackniss An, Andy or niss

Arackniss calls angel Angie, Anni, or Anth. (He never really liked tony, that's what his father called him)

They love each other very much but they're still siblings, they bicker and fight all the time (all their goons are used to it at this point, unimpressed by the brothers shenanigans)

Valentino develops some sort of obsession with Angel after meeting him (this brings problems)

Angel fell first, husk fell harder

They kind of had an enemies to lovers (but not really, more like a rivalry bc angel likes to annoy the cat overlord for fun)

Molly is still in heaven in this AU, arackniss was able to shield her from the family business (he couldn't with angel though, That's part of his guilt)

She died of heart disease before the brothers death

Angel is the spoilt younger sibling

I haven't really thought about how him and husk get together but they will definitely become a power couple

I like the idea Angel performs at the casino

He sings, does drag, etc. (Maybe some pornos too, just for fun)

What caught husk's attention is that Angel cared a lot for the souls he owned, he treated them like the humans they are

That's all I have for now, I will make more art about this AU later, you can use it if you like, whether as reference or inspiration for the fic (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

Ik this is more about Angel and Arackniss but I really like to focus on their story. So regarding the huskerdust you can have fun with that as I don't have a lot of ideas
