#now showing: angel dust

[angie-long-legs]

//Since I've been writing a ton of angsty Angel, here's a little realisation I had rewatching Hazbin earlier this week.

So, in episode 6, during You Didn't Know, obviously Adam and Lute share their two cents (aka Lute calling Angel "some crackwhore who fucked up already" when discussing his chances of getting into Heaven). They pull up this picture of said crackwhore to back up their argument.

The first few times I watched it, I just saw Angel upset and bleeding, and I assumed it was a shot from the previous scenes, since Heaven had just watched Angel stand up to Valentino and take a blow for it (OH and did I mention how they are essentially spying on Angel without his knowledge during this scene? My boy can't catch a break). Then I noticed he's wearing his robe from the studio.

So... Lute and Adam straight up dug out a picture of Angel at his work with a black eye, holding his robe closed, bleeding from the mouth and crying... AND THAT'S THE EVIDENCE THAT HE'S IRREDEEMABLE? Him being obviously abused is PROOF HE'S NOT WORTHY OF HEAVEN?

HARSH, LUTE. HARSH.

The fact they went out of their way to show Angel at his absolute LOWEST to prove the point that he's a sinful addict porn star with no chance of being redeemed is CRAZY.

this show would be good if literally everything about it was different

[helltigon]

Okay so people always talk about how Husk must be strong or Angel is really light (even Vaggie lifts him over her head) but also Angel is incredibly strong because he can fire six guns without the recoil affecting him. Angel can also hold an Entire Charlie in the air (Vaggie is also able to carry an Entire Charlie... and Sir Pentious)

Muscle is pretty dense and we know Angel would need to be pretty muscular to pole dance

I would like to posit Angel isn't very light, rather Husk and Vaggie are just Terrifyingly Strong.

I always was a sucker for found-family groups. Seriously though, I love the trope and I love this shot of them altogether like this.

Hellaverse fan poorly explains problems people have with the shows, in no particular order (3)

Designs are “too cluttered and complicated”

“Doesn’t represent all SA victims in the sex industry”

Female character only existing to hate the main character

Isn’t “fat enough”

Sister of the main character only now makes an appearance

This rambling post includes spoilers for episode 8 of Hazbin Hotel:

Okay okay okay, so, the thing about Alastor's fight with Adam is...

He was doomed to fail from the beginning.

It's been established that, much like sinners, angels can only be killed with angelic weaponry, but Alastor went into that fight with only his own powers. Was he that arrogant that somehow he'd be the singular demon in all of Hell - the Sins included - to be able to overcome this rule? I mean, Alastor is pretty arrogant, but it's not like he's stupid. The reason he decided to needle Lucifer by positioning himself as a father figure to Charlie (aside from the daddy issues I like to imagine he has) is because he knew from the very start he could never take Lucifer in a straight fight. It's not like he couldn't have used an angelic weapon; several of his shadow tentacles were throwing axes at the exorcist army before his shield broke.

Fuck, maybe he would have WON that fight if he had used an angelic weapon! Alastor put up a pretty good fight against Adam. He's obviously the more skilled fighter between the two, Adam just had overwhelming angelic power.

Alastor threw himself headfirst into a fight he had no hope of winning.

And he almost died.

Niffty: A KNIFE! 🔪

Angel: N O !

(don't expect more hazbin hotel, helluva boss or whatever the hell vivzie makes art, I don't like her writing at all but I was bored so lol . I don't support the dookie things she did, this isn't intended as fanart!)

'redesigns' or sumn , , they're more so stylized to what I'd prefer to see . Tried to keep it animation friendly by mostly using geometric and simple shapes but I failed like halfway.

I did alastor first so he def looks the worst, like I said in the image I'll redo him when it isn't 1am, maybe, probably not </3

Anyways this all started because I saw some horrendous redesigns of the characters that made me gasp and I wondered if I could do better even if the bar was in hell (badum tss), I hope I did, forgive me for hitting Husk with the bear beam it will happen again.

This is a redraw (kinda) of one of my first digital drawings! Angel Dust is just too precious, I've loved getting to see his growth as a character throughout S1 :)
