There was one thing that's been bothering me about Angel Dust's backstory (aside from him not looking like a man who died during the 1930s in the slightest) was how he died. I dunno if this will be retconned in the future, but apparently he died from OD'ing on PCP aka "Angel Dust". It's part of why that's his name in Hell. But...he died in the 30s/40s. PCP does NOT sound like a drug that would have been around then.

And that's because it wasn't! PCP was created in 1956 as an anesthetic medication then was disallowed in 1965 due to the high amount of side effects. It then became popular as a street drug in the 1970s, because of said effects.

#as much as i enjoy hazbin its is painfully obvious vivizie does like...NO research LMAO #and yeah i know its just a story about sinner in hell who cares!#i dunno maybe i shouldnt but creators not doing at least a tiny bit of research irks me lmao #also like...you could literally keep angels entire character the same but change it to dying in the 70s and it would be totally fine!#i mean shit his character designs already isn't indicative of the 1930s in the slightest so it really doesn't matter #honestly it would be more believable seeing how large the Italian mob got in the 70s #just...make it so he died in the 70s #though i have a theory she did that because then technically husk and angel are thee same age group even tho they died in dif decades #blah blah blah #hazbin hotel #DO NOT COME AT ME OVER THIS!!
