Alright here's my full (possibly hot) take on redesigning Hazbin Hotel characters and making a video showcasing those redesigns while you criticize the official designs.

First and foremost, you are redesigning someone else's OCs. Hazbin Hotel is, in essence, a passion project for Viv. How she talks about it makes that incredibly clear to me. The only difference between Hazbin Hotel and, for example, the story I'm developing surrounding some of my D&D OCs is that Hazbin Hotel got picked up by a streaming service and is significantly more popular than most passsion projects get.

Personally if someone wanted to redesign my D&D OCs, I wouldn't mind it, in fact I'd probably think it was really cool that someone would want to redesign one of my OCs to be closer to their tastes in terms of what they like to draw. I would, however, be made incredibly uncomfortable if someone made a video redesigning them where they also pointed out everything they thought was wrong with the designs. I didn't design these specific D&D characters to be 1-to-1 accurate to their classes in D&D or to look professionally designed. I designed them how I wanted them to look for the story I'm telling because I don't plan to ever play them in a campaign. The main character Avlan is a paladin, and I can acknowledge that his design might not look exactly like a paladin. One of the tabaxi in the story (Ice) is a bard and the other (Spark) is a ranger, and I acknowledge that their classes might not come across well in their designs. The single tiefling I've designed for this story (Tragedy) is a cleric but might not come off as one in their design. But I specifically designed them to be easy for me to draw because I want to be able to tell this story through my art. Having someone say "oh, Avlan's armor isn't paladin enough!" or "Avlan's fur colors and patterns should be closer to a wild rabbit's because harengon shouldn't be based on domestic rabbit colors!" would fucking hurt (especially because I'm so attached to Avlan, but it would hurt just as much if similar comments were made about Ice, Spark, or Tragedy). I am so passionate about these characters and being told their designs are bad or wrong in some way would be like a stab in the heart, and it would still feel like a stab in the heart if this story ever got a massive fandom behind it. Giving Avlan more complex armor because you think it'd look cool or just want to see what it'd look like? Sure, if I could draw more complex armor I'd give him more complex armor too. Giving him more complex armor but also shitting on the armor I decide to draw him with? My motivation to draw him in his armor, potentially draw him period, would be dead for WEEKS.

Why is it suddenly okay just because someone's passion project was picked up by Amazon Prime? Why is it suddenly okay to be "fixing" someone's character designs just because the project has a much bigger budget than most artists get and is on a popular streaming service? It's not. I don't care if you're a professional character designer, or think a specific character would look better with certain traits, or just don't like the character designs.

Hazbin Hotel is still Vivienne Medrano's passion project, and redesigning her characters and making videos talking about everything you think is "wrong" with them is, honestly, disgusting. You can make videos explaining your choices in your redesigns without putting down the designs that already exist, whether you like them or not. Me thinking Lucifer looks better with his tail not restricted to his full demon form doesn't suddenly mean I don't like his official design, because I fucking love it. If you wouldn't do it to an artist whose passion project is just a webcomic here on Tumblr, don't fucking do it to an artist whose passion project got picked up for a cartoon by a big streaming service (or any company for that matter).

@cryptidsdad : “Stop doing that with your face.” - for angel <3 robert’s weird lil way of flirting

It's not the first time Angel pauses to assess himself for error. Momentously aware of his body, of how the flesh rests in its unnatural skin - in ways disturbingly distancing of the self - he searches internally for minutiae the scrutinous human gaze always so aptly detects. There are none. His eyes are brown, the tongue not forked, the skin smooth. The dimensions of his mouth extend to where they should. He blinks to check the lids are there. They are.

All Robert sees is a wry glance in his direction as Angel takes another swig of beer. Brief confusion gives way to a verdict, visibly so, with a quirk of grin and brow and the drop of his briefly tense shoulders: it's just Smalls aimlessly running his mouth again. Par for the damn course. There's a beat of amused consideration where Angel wonders if he should even indulge him at all. After one too many ridiculous tirades, he's learned not to demand elaboration out of Robert if he can help it.

He can. He chooses not to.

"Can't wait to hear exactly what the hell you mean."

One foot lazily extends from its cramped bend, careful of the empty bottles beside it, and Angel sighs as knee and hip crack in relieved unison. His ass is getting stiff from the hard wooden steps, but the night is relatively young and warm and company is decent. Robert doesn't look as weary in the dim porch light. He hasn't mentioned how early he has to be at work tomorrow even as the hour grows small and so Angel won't either.

He shuffles instead to lean back languidly against the railing, facing Robert in full. His chin juts in expectancy.

"Well? Is it charming at least?"

Oc-tober Day 10, Mercy

They both knew that Miré had won the fight, and Hanson had already accepted his death. It was what he deserved.

However, to the surprise of both, Miré’s desire for vengeance wasn’t strong enough to see the action through.

Getting excited to see a ship fic for Dean with literally any other character only for it to turn out that the character is now inexplicably abusive and Cas has to come in and save Dean from them

my mother has a weird fucking thing about names-even made up fantasy ones-being used for what sounds like "the wrong gender" and frequently whines about names being used for the "improper" gender. she once went on a 20 minute rant completely unprompted out of dead silence because she saw a flight rising dragon named "trojan" that happened to be a female guardian, during which she said (entirely unironically) among other things that the person who named that dragon should be legally barred from having children. she refuses to name her own characters and things in games entirely reasonable object words or nouns or mythology references very often because "it's not masculine feminine sounding enough i CAN'T name him/her that!"

Every single time i think of a fantasy name ending in "a" or "ia", i now deliberately give it to a male dragon just to piss her off.

Hey, comic readers. If you're going to read a story with complex characters and themes that focuses on how the ruling class often benefits from the mistreatment of others even if they're naive about it, how about you don't disregard what the author spoon feeds you to try and pretend like a character is wholly innocent and above criticism. I'm so tired of people lacking media literacy and boiling complex topics down to black and white thinking.
