#say what you want about hazbin

Hoping that Vox and Valentino get a duet in season two purely because I love how Christian Borle and Joel Perez's voices sound together during the finale

“everyone hates better-than-blitzo guy because he makes Stolas happy >:(“ “why can you let Stolas be happy and not hate that guy?” “why do you hate that guy so much”

You want to know the real reason I hate that guy ?

because if it weren’t for him

WE WOULD KNOW WHAT BLITZO WAS GOING TO SAY HERE

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY???????????? AFTER ALL THAT???? AFTER????

i dont think striker and alastor are characters who are "precious senpais who did nothing wrong" i just don't think they're as reprehensible as valentino or stella. their actions aren't excusable, no, but they aren't near that level of abhorrent.

Husk: I need to burn calories

Angel: Y’know, kissing burns calories…

Husk: So does mercilessly beating the living shit out of people I hate.

Hazbin/Helluva antis:

Look how Valentino is r*ping Angel, look at how uncomfortable Angel looks. Surely this is a romantization of r*pe and Vivzie is problematic!

Also Hazbin/Helluva antis:

Why didn’t Vivzie make the sympathetic character a r*pist!? This is bad writting! I need Ozzie to SA Fizz or else it’s not accurate to demonology!

having thoughts about how Husk actually has very little left to redeem bc he started his journey of self-change before even coming to work at the hotel, but at the same time redemption isn't even his goal- he ain't even aiming for heaven, he just wanted to be a better person and maybe now with friends and especially Angel, who he supports so much and wants to see succeed, maybe now he has a reason to be a better person

I was surprised why you were angry when I asked about the review because there was nothing wrong with it before I searched and found out I got the channel name wrong

The one I was looking for was Michael The Cinemafile's review. It's 100 percent positive and I'm comparing the benefits of Hazbin Hotel to Wish so I thought I'd ask because I remember you saying you jumped on the Wish hate train and I was curious if you knew it

OHHHHH! IVE WATCHED THAT ONE! It's really good at breaking down how Hazbin clearly outshines Wish as a musical. And Hazbin definitely does do villain songs way better than whatever was going on with Disney. For anyone curious, here's the video:

And when I mean Disney...I mean Disney. I'm not gonna blame the creators of Wish completely bc Disney pressured them to work faster. Although, they still hired a pop songwriter to create songs for a musical, which was certainly.....a choice.

Also, I'm extra salty at Wish for making ppl get mad LMM, as if he had anything to do with this x3 Like, if Lin worked on Wish, you would know that the songs would be decent. They tried to copy his work but then forgot to add the passion that goes with it.

I wish Hazbin had more than 8 episodes this season bc 1) the pacing is all over the place (outside of episode 4) and 2) it would’ve been so nice to actually see when and why Alastor started to genuinely care about the hotel.

The pilot and the first episode of the show characterize him as sticking around for the entertainment because of how silly the idea of redeeming a sinner is to him but then episode 5 has him fully backing up Charlie’s wishes for the hotel and even tells Mimzy she’s welcomed to stay if she actually wants to try redemption and was upset she had put the hotel in danger with her presence.

I think that turnaround in Alastor’s perspective is so interesting but when did that happen? Why did that happen? How did that happen? What made him care?

He clearly still has ulterior motives, there’s 0 denying that given his scene with Husk in the same episode, but he does seem to actually care about Charlie and her hotel. Which can be connected to the leash Husk claimed Alastor is bound by but Alastor is also the most distant from the cast.

We never see him around everyone for more than a few minutes at a time. Everyone went out to the club in episode 6 but Alastor is nowhere to be found in the entire episode.

That bond with anyone in the hotel, even Charlie, that would explain Alastor’s sudden support in the hotel has not been shown on screen and I really wish the show had more time to do that.

That’s really what Hazbin lacks. Time. Time to slow down and just let the characters breathe. Everything is moving so fast because they probably didn’t know a second season was coming until later which I can understand but that also means the plot takes priority over the characters and a majority of the cast is suffering from it.

Angel’s the only character who’s gotten an episode solely about him and exploring, expanding, and developing his character and his bonds in the hotel are what we see the most. This makes sense given he’s the main guest in the hotel but no other character has been able to have their own character and arc be explored the way Angel has.

The show needed more episodes like Masquerade to explore the cast before diving headfirst into the Heaven vs. Hell redemption conflict. That was always going to be the direction the show went in but they needed so much more time to do it because there are so many characters to juggle and so much is happening. Big moments that are supposed to matter don’t hit as hard as they should bc the cast is overstuffed and everyone is fighting for screen time.

This isn’t the teams fault, they’re doing a decent job with the limit time they were given but 8 episodes is not enough time for a show this ambitious with everything it’s trying to do. Doubling the episode count to 16 would’ve done wonders for the pacing and the show could slow down and take its time.

A lot of what Hazbin presents are good ideas. It’s all interesting but none of it is given enough time because the big Heaven and Hell plot has to take a majority of the shows focus. I do hope season 2 fixes this but that’s also gonna depend where the show is going after season 1 is over. We’ll see next week.

My main wish for the show going forward is each character gets their chance to be explored just as Angel has.

i think my official take on charlie and alastor's dynamic is that i don't particularly care for it as a ship (LOVE some of the art though), BUT i do think their relationship is going to be one of the most interesting things about the show, and definitely MY favorite part. something about the sunshine princess who's actually SUPREMELY terrifyingly powerful and the equally upbeat and ever-delighted yet equally terrifyingly powerful demon who is at the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of the morality spectrum is one that is sooooooo good. i need them to be best friends SO BADLY

Imagine if Sir Pentious getting cought was actually all an act part of Vox's plan - to have a man on the inside he was sure they wouldnt suspect

I had SUCH an aroace moment yesterday and not to be corny but when it happened you could see the physical clicking in my brain with the multiple aroace alastor centric fics I read over the months

Funny that I found you. I am redesigning a character from Hazbin Hotel called Husk into a bat. Love what you do here. A+. No notes. Batties are the best! ^ . v . ^

Hey, what a coincidence! Best of luck with your redesign, making someone into a bat can only be an improvement aha! I will say though, I'm not named after him, I'm actually named after this thing:

But with how popular hazbin's been recently it was only a matter of time before someone made the connection, and it's still a fun coincidence for ya!
