#hazbin hotel trivia

[storyweaverofgondor]

So i was doing research for a possible fic and i found out that Alastor's radio is what is called a cathedral radio. Which is really cool. Even cooler?

The Philco Model 90 radio from 1931 has the same design as Alastor's radio! Al's is pointier and has teeth but Alastor's radio is definitely a hell version of this very specific radio.

I just want to give the Hazbin artists some applause for the level of dedication to base it off an actual antique radio. That's really impressive on their part.

I see no difference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

aight with the trivia about angel and husk's romantic preferences and the inclusion of vivz saying "angel is meant to get a love interest," if it's not husk then brooo we haven't even met the love interest yet. but i'm betting (ha) on husk cause

husk is apparently "sweet" and "cuddly" but only with a significant other

husk values consent

angel wants "a solid relationship built on respect, with someone who values him"

angel apparently finds "someone masculine" and "other gangsters" attractive

husk is described as being "angel's best friend"

vivz wants to "make sure their relationship has the time to develop" but didn't indicate of that was platonic or romantic

they're at least meant to be BFFs and husk is literally angel's type, values consent (the opposite of Val), and they were really given each other the eyes by the end there. if that isn't leading up to huskerdust i'll eat a hat

Did you know this about Angel Dust and Husk from Hazbin Hotel?

In a comic by Vivziepop, the creator of the series, Angel Dust openly declares he's gay during his first interaction with Charlie.

"For woman I ask for an extra"

I'll let you imagine the scene, but it's predictable if you know our Anthony 💕🤍

And in an interview, Vivziepop revealed that Husk is pansexual, hello bro eheh

My friend convinced me to share some random trivia on my account, (related to the fanart, of course) so here's a peek into my favorite shows, comics, and books

Stay tuned for more fanart and fun facts... 📻

Or just ask, drop a character in the comment section and I will say something I know about them eheh

Today I learned: Alastor's deer hoof shoes are historically accurate...Somehow

I was playing a trivia game and APPARENTLY Moonshiners would wear these:

To hide their footprints from cops during the prohibition era. Alastor lived in that era...

The concept that the fanfic-seeming idea that Alastor wore deer shoes to hide his footprints when he was a serial killer having an actual basis in reality is insane to me. Also, helps the idea that he was shot by a hunter (specifically a drunken one since prohibition ended in the same year Al supposedly died in). Hard to mistake a man for a deer but if you were following deer tracks and saw a silhouette of something moving and deciding to take a lucky shot it's slightly more plausible.

Did other people know about this? Or did you also just find out about this?

[celestial-artisan]

Okay, three pieces of trivia about my life that I thought were normal but turned out wasn't which somehow turned into Hazbin headcanons.

I have eaten an LCD screen protector before. The full thing. I didn't get sick or anything and I'm still alive- I thought it was supposed to be like that(it wasn't). It was in the tags for one of my incorrect quotes(the clock joke one).

If anyone gave a hard time on my gf on SNS platforms I would track them down, pretend to be a Chinese bodyguard and threaten them into giving apologies.

Once I was lying down on a table(do not question why) when 3 friends approached me and positioned themselves in front of my arms(Two over one arm, one over another). They started to squish my arms and one of them ran her nails over my arm. Another one was gushing about how 'soft and smooth' my arm was and the final one was just hesitantly caressing my arm. I kinda enjoyed that lil feeling before I noticed other people were looking at us like >:0

Do you think that 3rd one could've happened to Angel

And the 2nd one could be Husk if anyone did shit to Angel

Vox would've hate-ate a phone screen after the first rejection from Alastor fr fr

Some RadioCotton Trivia 📻🐰❤️

Now that my first fic "If You Can't Say Somethin' Nice, Don't Say Nothin' At All" is finished, I thought I would share some behind-the-scenes trivia!

Some of this will contain minor spoilers for the plot, so read with caution if you've not finished the story - there will be no spoilers for part two (All That Grace). Okay let's go! This list is LONG so hold on y'all

The Bambi Thing

The name is a direct quote from Bambi; there's actually a LOT of Bambi references in the whole fic. The quote was actually the entire inspiration for the whole premise. Bambi is one of my favourite Disney movies and I couldn't help but notice a lot of shared themes between it and Alastor - and then I thought, what if a cute, wholesome rabbit demon came to Hell and taught him to be sweeter?

There's another direct script lift from Bambi later in the fic - when Alastor has the dream about his mother. 'Mother? MOTHER? Mother where are you?' Oh the pain.

Adam also calls Alastor "Bambi" and Verity "Thumper" at points, AND one of the chapters is called "Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers". The themes of them being a deer and a rabbit also crop up a lot, obviously.

The Music Thing

There are a LOT of references to songs, both when I put lyrics at the start of chapters and within the story itself. I am aggressively inspired by music and song lyrics, and have immensely eclectic taste, and can't help myself. Some songs would be the thematic influence for a chapter and I would literally listen to the song on repeat as I either planned or wrote the chapter. Something I'm still doing now while I write Bluest Monday!

At one point I spent about an hour trying to find the name of a music scale just so I could accurately describe it when Alastor and Verity play the piano. I am very meticulous with my research, I was determined to find it 😂

The Alastor Thing

The way I chose to write Alastor was influenced by a number of things. One, that "What just happened? Ffffffuck" line from the finale of Season 1 did a LOT of heavy lifting for me. It showed that he has a version of himself that's less guarded and raw - and I don't care what anyone says, it's NOT because his staff broke. He goes right back to the filter and accent immediately afterwards and the staff is still broken, so.

Two, I just really wanted to write him as someone that uses violence and a covered-up personalty as a coping mechanism for grief, which I don't think is too far from the canon. His eventual softening and ability to love was influenced by things like Mr Darcy, Kylo Ren (LOL), Astarion from BG3, etc etc. Traumatised bad boy is healed by the sunshine girl - we love to see it.

I also did a LOT of research on the canonical information thus far known about Alastor, including things Viv has said in streams. The only thing I got dead wrong was a chapter where he drinks tea - apparently he hates it. Everything else is either based on canon or a speculation based on lore that's been teased.

Other Random Facts

I chose to include Adam as a fleshed out character for a few reasons. One, he's hella fun to write. Two, I had the Vox-jealous-kidnap-and-rescue planned since the start, and I knew I needed a character who could help them. Adam is unknown to the Vees as a hotel resident at that point, and so he became a great choice. I needed to lay the ground work so it would be convincing that he'd help them, so he's there from the start. I ended up loving him so much that he's now one of the main characters in the sequel and is getting his own development arc. Go Adam!

Adam also breaks the fourth wall in the show (Ugly people? *looks at camera*) and so I felt inspired to make him quippy with pop culture references a la Deadpool. It was great fun and very helpful when I wanted to squeeze in a fitting reference.

There is a LOT of foreshadowing and wordplay in the fic. A LOT, so much I don't have time to list it all. For example, Verity drunkenly talks (in Chap 4) about how deer are territorial momma's boys - if that ain't Alastor idk what is. That info becomes very important in Chap 21.

There are references to stuff from Helluva Boss; Fizzerolli Cola, a Verosika music video plays, etc. A sign of more to come in P2 👀

Dramatic irony (where the audience knows something the character doesn't and it's either funny or tragic) is my absolute FAVOURITE Shakespearian trope, and I use it all the time.

I made myself laugh a lot coming up with the names for fake booze LOL

Husk was one of my favourite characters to write, as well as Alastor (ofc), Rosie and Adam.

My personal favourite chapters are 13 (Al drunk with Rosie) 19 (dream scene, fluff & first smut) and 23 (final chapter). I loved the image of Alastor laughing into his drink like a normal young man being silly and chapter 19 has a bit of everything - angst, fluff, smut, comedy. I loved writing that one so much.

The scene where Verity uses Alastor's power to manifest them away from the group cheekily and then Alastor likes it a lot and goes crazy kissing her is very inspired by this scene in Titanic (one of my all time fave movies) - especially where Rose swears and laughs as the lift is going up.

I myself have lost a parent, so I understand that loss very well. I poured a lot of that feeling into this fic, it was something I could actually inject into the story from my own experience.

I'm pretty sure we got the comments turned off on a video on youtube LOL. I linked this song at the end of Chap 19 (I listened to it on repeat while writing the love scene) and the next day the comments were disabled LMAO. That track will ALWAYS remind me of this fic now, arugh my heart

Verity

As much as Verity started as just a way for me to avoid using (Y/N) in a reader-insert fic (something I personally don't like) and a way for me to do the rabbit and deer theme, she became her own character over the course of the story. I made it reader-insert cause I figured no one would read it otherwise, but now the sequel is third person bc she's her own person.

Her name was also a deliberate choice - a V name meaning truth. She makes Alastor face his truth, yadda yadda blah blah blah you get it you get it 😂 Plus it just sounds like a rabbit name doesn't it?

Verity has a lot of traits from myself, but she is NOT self-insert for me, I'd hasten to add. I'm not completely delulu guys okay? ....Not entirely But she does have a lot of overlap with myself. You gotta write what you know, after all. I won't go into detail about the similarities between us - some of them are obvious, I think. But I'll leave that all ambiguous, more fun that way :)

Final Thoughts

There are honestly so many more things I could say but this is already veering into narcissistic self-indulgence land LOL so I feel compelled to stop here, but if anyone has any questions or things they'd like to know, pop them in my inbox!

That's all, folks!

I know the wiki info generally isn’t canon (especially now since the show proper dropped), but there are absolutely fascinating pieces of trivia in them that I’ve been devouring. Here are some of my personal favorites:

-Angel was drafted in WWII

-Vox has eaten McDonald’s before and holds it as a win over Alastor, who never has (and doesn’t want to, Alastor hates processed food)

-Sir Pentious died of a burst bladder because he refused to go to the restroom whilst meeting Queen Victoria

-Niffty was a maid in Osaka obsessed with her employer

-Husk traveled the world

-Alastor was taught to be self sufficient by his mother, and also used to be an avid deer hunter. He was also homeschooled.

-Cherri Bomb died via suicide bombing, as instructed by her father

-Vox was a televangelist when alive, he was also crushed by a Jumbotron

FUN FACT: the power went out on a sunny day and made me lose the original file, but i was able to remake the comic using a snapshot i sent to a friend! Also: the pencil brush used to make this comic no longer exists on Photopea by default, which sucks absolute BALLS because it was a dope ass pencil brush i haven’t been able to fully replace!

This drawing of The Wheel of Enormous Proportions in a Victorian English maid outfit that i drew exclusively because i thought it would be funny to put a God in servants clothing {and also because The Wheel makes me feel things i don’t like admitting} and a drawing of it holding a Peep in it’s grasp to mildly prank a friend (Date: 23rd of May, 2022)

Redraw of that image of a woman looking at a man’s particularly perky pectorals that i drew to practice muscles, but it’s M. Bubz & The Wheel (Date: Actually today! But was most likely not going to see the light of day otherwise, so consider this a cheeky bonus!)

FUN FACT: I HAVE MORE, but i haven’t taken photos of them yet, so they can’t be included here as all of their dates would be labeled as “today”, which isn’t in the spirit of this masterpost, but trust me: they are equally as fun as whatever these things i showed you are.

Maybe i should really start posting these things more often...i mean some of these are REALLY good, even today compared to my improved artistic abilities. It’s a real shame that i was...and sometimes still am embarrassed to post these when i really do still like them! So i’m biting the bullet and seeing how they do.

Some videos about Hellhounds to help better understand the general creature origin of the Hellhounds in Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss

This is something I felt I should share for a variety of reasons.

As you know, the setting of Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss takes place in Hell and uses a variety of elements commonly associated with Hell and demonology as inspiration. Similar to any work in general that takes inspiration from fantasy and/or mythology, not everyone who watches these shows is familiar with certain concepts. That’s okay since it’s really not needed to do such homework beforehand to enjoy them and such.

That being said, not being familiar with certain things has lead to some saying what I can describe at best as not very well informed opinions. Case in point, the various “criticisms” on Lucifer that were made relatively recently as of this writing. Said statements among other things were made not knowing that there are interpretations beyond what’s some would consider the norm wherein Lucifer and Satan aren’t one and the same.

One such type of statements I found sort of particularly irked by were ones regarding the Hellhounds which are most notably showcased in Helluva Boss. A number of those that I’ve read felt that their posters were very unfamiliar that this is a type of creature found in numerous folklores/mythologies in a similiar vein to dragons and just like dragons, is used in many works other than just Helluva Boss in a variety of interpretations.

In response to this, I decided that I should share a few videos discussing what exactly are Hellhounds to help inform in a manner of speaking. If anything else, I’m sharing these videos as trivia for those who maybe interested in learning the real world origins of one of the creatures that is used in Helluva Boss.

Also as a bit of a disclaimer in case me sharing these videos gets misinterpreted. Me sharing these videos is not meant to be a criticism of Viv’s interpretation of a Hellhound in her work. They are meant to help inform in the similar vein to something like someone sharing a video to others discussing who exactly Melinoe is in light her being announced as the new protagonist in Hades 2. Considering there are a few things that Viv’s take shares with certain interpretations of Hellhounds such as them having red eyes and apparently commonly being employed as guards, these videos could be taken as a defense to some degree.
