oh my god idk how to express the NEED i feel to draw at least something for once bitten. i genuinely adore how like. alastor is very recognizable but hes still different bc of the era he grew up in/his up bringing if that makes sense? like there are lines i couldnt ever see in-show al saying but it makes perfect sense for his character in this new setting. kind of a long winded way to say i think u RLY have a hang on what makes alastor himself n how to write him!
(btw my fav part of the new chapter was tryna figure out deer hoof anatomy w the massage scene, but instead i somehow kept imagining newborn horse hooves. bro what the hell is even going on down there)

Screams quietly... I'm genuinely so glad you're enjoying the story so much! I'm not much of an artist but I can really relate to the feeling of "I just read/saw something so good, I have to go do a creative thing about it!" hahaha. I'm especially glad that the characterization makes sense! It's an interesting balance to write Alastor as still his kind of, clearly, 'old soul' self + his general personality + integrating that with him having died in the 2020s instead of the 1920s, and it's genuinely delightful to me that I've......somehow apparently managed to pull it off, HAH. Thank you so much!
(And if you do end up drawing something, I would be VERY excited to see it! <3)

One Hell of an Unpopular Opinion #04
The reason behind the Exterminations should've stayed to prevent Sinners from overpopulating the Pride Ring and I don't like how Hazbin Hotel portrays Adam as being in the wrong for hating Sinners.
_________
The whole, "We kill Sinners for our entertainment," reasoning from Adam and Lute as well as, "I approved of the Exterminations to avoid Hell's Sinners from starting an uprising," reasoning from Sera is so stupid. Specifically, Sera's reason. Because logically approving of the Exterminations would only lead to more and more Sinners wanting to start an uprising with each passing Extermination. Adam and Lute's reasoning has to be the way it is so that the show writers can make it seem like Charlie's in the right when the show gives us reason to believe that she's actively wrong. For example, Angel Dust was born in New York City and into a Mafia family likely somewhere around the years 1912 - 1915 as he's stated to have died in his young to mid 30s in the year 1947 due to a drug overdose. Angel Dust was a mobster for most if not all of his life but he hasn't shown or stated that he feels any remorse or guilt for what he did back then. The only thing he feels guilty for is for his past self having signed that contract with Valentino which is totally valid however making a soul contract with Valentino isn't the reason why he's in Hell. Angel Dust is in Hell for being a murderer, a drug trafficker, a drug attic, a smuggler, and for likely having committed several other money related crimes. I swear, people hear or see the word Mafia and automatically think of death when the majority of their crimes are motivated by currency. Like, its still not good but its not just senseless murder either. The point is, we haven't seen anything about Angel Dust truly wanting to change. Yeah, there was that scene in episode #06 where Angel turns down Cherri's offer to do drugs but that doesn't suddenly mean he's no longer a drug attic for turning down ONE offer. Most of the Sinners we see or know of in Hell are fucking horrendous people. Alastor was and still is a serial killing cannibal because he can. Let me repeat. He WAS and STILL IS a SERIAL KILLING CANNIBAL because he CAN! There is an entire place in the Pride Ring known as the Cannibal Colony (in the show it got changed to Cannibal Town but I've been calling it Cannibal Colony for 4 years now and I do not plan on stopping), Martha's in Hell which makes sense considering she and her entire family were actual Devil worshipers, Loopty and Lipton experimented and killed the poor, and Valentino is a rapist. We still don't know enough about most of what the HH's cast did when they were alive which is why I think Sir Pentious ultimately getting into Heaven was a load of BS. We don't even know why he ended up in Hell in the first place but he tries to help his "friends" once and dies in the process and that's enough to get him redeemed???
Seriously, what did he do to deserve damnation? Also, I know Viv probably doesn't have Cain or Able as that would give Adam an understandable, even justifiable, reason for despising Sinners. His first and oldest son, Cain, is LITERALLY the FIRST SINNER. For what? For killing his younger brother, Able, by slicing his throat with a knife or sharp object in the same manner Able did when sacrificing his lambs. Although, I've also heard that Cain killed Able by bludgeoning him to death with a stone by repeatedly bashing it into Able's skull. Either way, if anyone deserves to hate Sinners the MOST then it's Adam & Eve without a doubt.

Question: Why is Alastor a overlord?
(Triggerwarning: Talks of rape, murder, and cannibalism.)
This isn't exactly a issue with Hazbin Hotel, this is a genuine question. Why is Alastor a overlord? Here's the conversation from Hazbin that Vaggie and Angel had.
V:" The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful demons hell has ever seen?"
A: "Ehhh, not big on politics."
V: *Sigh*. "Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell. Seemingly overnight, he began to topple Overloards who had been dominant for centuries. That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before. He broadcasted his carriage all throughout Hell. Just so everyone could witness his ability. Sinners started calling him, The Radio Demon. As lazy as that is. Many have speculated what unimaginable force enabled him to rival our worlds most ancient and destructive evils. But one things for sure, he's a unpredictable source of danger. A wicked spirt of mystery. And a violent monster of chaos, the likes of which we can't risk getting involved with, unless we want to be erased!"
Which I'm sorry but, HE TOPPLED OVERLORDS THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR CENTRIES?? HES ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL BEINGS IN HELL?? ANCIENT AND DESTRUCTIVE EVILS???
Okay 1. He's one of the most powerful beings in hell? Okay but the Goetias are above overlords. There are 72 Goetias in the Ars Goetia. There's the 7 deadly sins. There is Lucifer, Lilith, and Charlie. That's 82 beings above Alastor. Sure, Alastor could be the most powerful overlord but all of Hell. Yeah I call bullshit. 2. HOW did he topple over all the ancient overlords??? THE MAN HAS TENTICALS FOR FUCKS SAKE!! I'm sorry but I just don't see it.
Now Hazbin hasn't come out yet, so they might explain how he got so powerful but I see it as 3 options. (I could be wrong.)
1. Alastor as a human made a deal with a powerful demon but then stabbed them in the back and stole their power.
2. This is why Alastor has voodoo. So he has a reason to be so powerful.
3. His crimes as a human were so despicable that he gained a mass amount of power. Maybe the more despicable your crimes are makes you stronger?
Now there is flaws in all of these.
1. Alastor could have made a deal with a demon but how would he betray them? I'm not saying it's not possible but I think this would need thought.
2. I hope this is not the reason. Please do research on Voodoo if you wish to have a character practice Voodoo.
3. This could make sense but it would completely unravel. It would make sense for certain characters, Valentino being a rapist would make sense since he's disgusting and he would have become a overlord for his crimes. But Alastor? He was a murder and may have been a cannible when he was alive. Look, murder and cannibalism are disgusting buy that's what makes him so powerful? If that's the logic wouldn't Angel be the overlord and not Alastor since Angel was litteraly in the MAFIA. Like a crime organism?
(Not gonna lie Angel as a Overlord is a very fun idea and I may use that. If you draw that you should tag me 😗🫶)
I really hope this gets addressed in the show so we KNOW why HIM out of all sinners have THIS MUCH power.
(I swear to god if he somehow is more powerful then LUCIFER, LILITH, OR CHARLIE I'm gonna blow a gasket.)

First off, Hollywood doesn't value animation, so regardless if a show is successful or not, it will get cancelled after two or three seasons.
Most animators and storyboard artists have to work on multiple shows to keep a roof over their heads because the state of western animation is that dire.
I'd be legitimately surprised if Hazbin Hotel gets renewed for four seasons, at best it'll get picked up for a third season and that'll be the end of it.
And second of all, indie animation isn't a zero sum game. Hazbin Hotel's success isn't a "Make or break" moment for the indie animation scene.
Look at The Amazing Digital Circus, that pilot managed to bring in 261 million views on word of mouth alone. And let's be real here, most of the people who watched that pilot probably weren't even familiar with Gooseworx's previous work. It was a show that naturally found an audience.
So no, indie animators aren't gonna stop making indie animations just because Hazbin Hotel couldn't connect with the general public.
Also, it's funny how Hazbin fans use the "Don't like don't watch" argument when it comes to defending the show against criticism. Because you know they don't apply the same logic to other shows.
If I said "If you guys are that upset about Velma. Don't watch it." a year ago, I would have probably been told that I have "Shit taste" or that I'm a "Mindy Kaling Apologist" or whatever.
But it's okay to use that argument when it comes to Viv, because fuck forbid anybody criticize Viv on the internet, am I right?

In that previous ask... I would love to see a Adam vs Alastor vs Vox battle for Lucifer hand but Vox surprisingly seem to the only one seeing this said fight ridiculous and just wanted to deal with this humanely! It would be nice to see Vox ditch and just went to talk to Lucifer and asked him out on a date and when Adam and Alastor noticed Vox just gave them a disapproving look and flipped them off while Lucifer was being all giddy and blush-y
Oh! And que The sins and Virtues!
(More fun writing for me!~ ^-^ This is a great set up and I love how it's Vox being the mature and reasonable one)
"Fucking hold still!"
"Ah yes. Because you asked us oh so nicely, we'll stand still and let you hit us."
"Is this guy for real right now?"
Sitting on the steps of the Hazbin Hotel with the other residents, Angel Dust was eating some popcorn and offered to share as they watched the show. Two big bad Overlords and a fallen angel fighting over the King of Hell. And where was their king right now? Up on the balcony outside of his room to have a better view of the showdown.
"We should stop them."
"Charlie, if any of us tried to stop them, we'd just get killed."
"You're right... dad should stop them."
"I hate to tell ya this Charls, but your dad is most likely enjoying the attention. Aren't ya short king?!"
Knowing he's been caught; Lucifer used a portal to join everyone in front of the hotel. With a sheepish smile, he cleared his throat and fidgeted with his cane trying to find the right words. How did one explain to their daughter that having three men you held affections for fighting over you was an amazing feeling?
"Dad! You have to stop them!"
"I will! ...Just a few more minutes? It's not like they can actually kill each other. There are no Angelic Weapons so they'll just reform later."
"But they're destroying everything, and I don't want anyone to get hurt."
"Okay, okay. I'll go stop them."
~
This was stupid. How did Vox allow himself to get wrapped up in this fight? Oh, right. Adam had declared he was the best and only choice for Lucifer. All three of them were prideful assholes, he could admit that. However, their king had made it clear multiple times that he didn't want to choose. So… why make him choose?
The only difficult decision he'd have to do was pick who would be the head husband. It wasn't uncommon for kings to have multiple partners and wives. Why would this be any different? Especially in this day and age. Not to mention, they were in Hell! Pretty much anything went.
But they were also possessive creatures. Vox could understand both sides of the issues, logically. However, this was not getting them anywhere. Yelping, the TV demon barely dodged the attacks thrown at him. Dammit, he thought the two had forgotten about him. He needed a new plan.
"Choke on my sick rifts edge lord!" Summoning a black axe guitar, Adam sent a powerful soundwave attack at the stupid deer demon dancing around his attacks.
"Ha ha! It's laughable how you think that would do any damage to me. Or hit me for that matter- wait. Where did Vox go?"
The two sinners shared a look before turning their attention towards the hotel. "Fuck."
~
Using his powers to travel through his cameras, Vox appeared in front of the hotel. Fixing his bowtie and jacket, he made his way over to the ground still watching the two morons fighting it out.
"Ooo~ Look who left the battle."
"Angel. Good to uh… see you again." Conversations were always so awkward with the spider demon. What with not only working with the owner of his soul but also sleeping with him. And the fact that he never stepped in when Val crossed many, many lines.
He was already in the process of fixing those things, but the damage had already been done. Luckily for him, the princess was a big advocator for second chances and was helping the sinner improve.
The reason for that change had turned his attention to him causing his more natural smile to stretch across his screen. "Lucifer. Apologies for the mess we made. Honestly, I can't even remember the reason I allowed myself to be dragged into that mess."
Taking the fallen angel's hand, he lightly placed a kiss on his knuckles. "Would you do me the honor of going on a proper date with me?"
Everyone was silent at his actions, and while usually Vox would take the prolonged silence as a bad sign, the flustered look on his angel caused his smile to grow. That pretty little golden blush spread across Lucifer's cheeks, stuttered nonsensical sentences spilled from his lips.
"Can I take that as a yes, your majesty?"
"No, you may not!" Reforming from his shadows, Alastor used his cane to push Vox away from the king. "That reaction is far from consent. Not that you would know anything about consent, now, would you? Especially when told no."
A growl threatened to slip out. How dare he? Thinking he had the moral high ground. "Listen here you piece of shit-"
Something crashing into the hotel and landing next to them pulled their attention away from the start of another fight. Sitting up, Adam shook the debris from his hair.
"Oh good! Now that we're all here, we can continue this little debate of ours."
"Why? So, we can cause more property damage and kill each other just to do it again after we've reformed?"
"A date! Y-Yes, a date! T-that uh… sounds nice."
Vox could feel the electricity flow through him at the answer. Yes. Yes! Finally! He got to go on a date with his angel. Secretly flipping off Lucifer's other two admirers, he stepped closer to his lovely king.
"You have no idea how happy that makes me to hear. Adam may have known you since the beginning of Earth's creation, Alastor may have had you before me, but I will not waste this chance and show how happy I can make you. It's been all I've ever wanted since I was just a boy."
~
"Aww!~ Look at how happy Lulu is."
"It's so great that he's able to find love again."
"And with three guys. One of them being Adam. Huh. What a crazy little loveable guy we have as a brother."
All the Virtues were so excited and happy for Lucifer as they watched everything unfolding from the meeting room they had gathered in. It had been Michael's idea, and he was regretting it. How could those lowly sinners think they were good enough for their baby brother?! And Adam... oh don't get him started on Adam!
Sure, he liked him better then Lilith, but this was the same guy who had taken away what little happiness Lucifer had had during his punishment their Father had deemed necessary. If the former angel thought he was gonna just get to be with their precious little brother he had another thing coming. Him and those other two sinners.
"Uh oh~ Mikey is getting angry again."
"You sure he isn't just jealous?"
"I am not jealous! You're jealous!"
~
"Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie! You're serious? Lulu called and asked to have a date night at your club?"
"Yeah. Said he was bringing only one of them. That means-"
"Ha! He's just as greedy as me. How many partners does he have?"
"Hey, he deserves the love, Mamm. Don't you guys agree?" Precious Beelzebub trying to keep the peace while also trying to get them excited about this news.
"Does it really matter? It just means they're gonna take his attention away from us."
"You should take a nap, Levi. It might help. Just because Lucifer has some new boyfriends doesn't mean he loves you any less."
"You do know we're going to have to go over there and scare the unliving shit out of them, right?"

first, a sincere apology for this MONSTER of a prompt to come — bless my random half-conscious 4am thoughts for sending me down this downward spiral — BUT: we all know how protective/absolutely fucking feral Alastor is over any implied threat towards Vox’s safety: one can only imagine how horrible a fate would befall the poor, foolish folk who have the balls to ACTUALLY try to harm the Radio Demon’s mate.
Like, imagine Vox just going about his normal every day routine, taking precious baby boi Vark on his early morning walkies when he’s suddenly jumped by a group of very brave, very stupid sinners who either 1) want to get to Alastor through Vox and are SEVERELY underestimating the capabilities of the older overlord because he’s (in their minds) a “washed-up has-been fossil playing guard dog for the princess” who’s gotten soft because he’s in love (barf); or b) are hoping to take down an overlord out of sheer hubris, completely forgetting that Vox is literally a living power grid for Pentagram City, if not the entirety of Hell itself. Either way, f in the chat for their courage I guess. Since this attack is premeditated, our hapless captors made through work of trying to clear this specific area — a shortcut through an alley because not even Vox is immune to horror movie logic at times — clear of any cameras or electrical devices that could ensure an easy getaway and blocking off any potential exits they can.
Naturally, Vox — not being some helpless damsel in distress — puts up a damn good fight, at the cost of constant power shortages throughout the next hour or so. Eventually, however, he gets overpowered/taken by surprise and boom! Realm-wide power outage. Now, the gang at the hotel were already wary when the lights began flickering and the internet cut out during breakfast; their fear only intensifies when a sudden blackout strikes and they can hear a VERY pissed wendigo demon barreling down the stairs. Maybe even they find Vark on the hotel doorstep, visibly distressed and even a little injured (only a LITTLE, because I’m not a monster), with a crudely-written ransom note taped to him. Charlie can barely get through the first sentence before Al is out the door — a fifty ft tall, at the very minimum, mass of tentacles and sickly green static illuminating the pitch black streets, uncaring of those foolish enough to end up in his path.
It takes less than an hour for Alastor to find the dingy warehouse they took his mate to: these gentleman are not only bold in their stupidity but sloppy as well. Thanks to the blackout, he slips in undetected with his shadows and makes quick work of finding Vox. The overlord in question is more annoyed than anything else, bound in an uncomfortable position with angelic rope and put on mute (his captors’ egos couldn’t handle his viscous verbal roasts after he already fried them up pretty bad), but otherwise unharmed. Of course, this is Alastor we’re talking about: so much as the sight of his lover in pain, with a crack on his screen and his clothes visibly tousled is enough to spark a raging fire in the seething Radio Demon that would put the fear in God in anyone foolish enough to trifle with him.
Speaking of foolish, our intrepid group of attempted kidnappers are too busy trying and failing to restore the internet to try and broadcast their Very Spooky Hostage Negotiations stream (they rehearsed it and everything! Brad brought the costumes and eerie mood lighting!) to notice the horrifyingly wholesome lovers reunion going on literally right behind them. Alastor wastes no time in doing away with the bindings and making sure Vox is as comfortable as can be before teleporting him to a safe location outside; his lover is slightly irritated at the prospect of being left out for now, but is placated for now with kisses and the promise of watching these insufferable fools burn for their transgressions against Hell’s most ferocious power couple. Because of this, Vox waits outside for the next hour and makes a point of NOT restoring the power yet as he listens to his amazing and powerful mate torment the sinners psychology: the sounds of screaming are just all the more beautiful and crisp without the distracting noise of traffic and the nagging electric current constantly running through his veins distracting him from the most simple of pleasures.
Eventually though, by the two-hour mark, he gets bored of playing games on his phone, restores the power, and teleports back inside to tell Alastor to wrap things up because he actually has things to do today and he still hasn’t gotten his morning coffee yet, damnit. Al relents, teleporting the sobbing and trembling group of would-be kidnappers to the shadow realm, immediately showering his mate with kisses, cuddles, protective bites, the whole routine. Vox is slightly embarrassed at the entire ordeal (mostly at his own actions that led to him ending up here in the first place) but the assurances of Alastor that he did nothing wrong and the confirmation of Vark being alright soothes his guilt. He even allows Alastor to carry him out of the building bridal style as the warehouse burns down in a beautiful show of green fire and blue electrical fire around them (he thinks the view is fucking hot, literally in this case)
Naturally, Al and the rest of the hotel staff are on protective watch for almost the entirety of the next month — not because they think Vox is incapable of managing himself just fine, no; they just fear the consequences of what would happen Hell-wide if he were to go missing again. Vox can’t bring himself to be annoyed because he, more than anyone, is aware that Alastor would fistfight Lucifer and the entire order of Hell itself to ensure his safety. Not that he’s complaining anyway: his attention-craving ass is VERY much reveling in the almost 24 hour cuddle sessions and kisses, and Vark very much appreciates Al accompanying them during their morning walks now because he gets double the treats.
And the sugar on the cream comes later on in the week after the incident, when a VERY special, extended broadcast of Alastor’s radio show goes live on air, featuring a VERY special guest star: the media overlord himself, who would like to send a little message to the denizens of Hell that overlords are not to be messed with and are in power for a REASON. Alastor let’s him take the reins like the good, supportive partner he is, of course — any fool who dares to touch HIS mate has earned the cruel fate lined up in store, especially those with less than savory intentions (and sue him if he thinks the sight of his lover reveling in the suffering of those who dare cross him is more beautiful and poetic than the stars and moon and oceans combined)
Despite her usual preaching of going for as little violence as possible, Charlie makes an allowance this one time; in fact, she’s their first caller. After all, these sinners are her family, and woe betold you when you mess with the Princess of Hell’s family. Vaggie is only slightly perturbed by this reaction, but the soft look of pure adoration on her lover’s face as they listen in on the broadcast with the rest of the gang, languidly giving a stretched out Vark in their lap head pats, is worth the future nightmares, she reasons.
I didn't do the whole prompt, but I did my best! I hope you enjoy it, anon ^-^ I also included it in my 'A Month In Rut' series so it's vague enough to keep it spoiler-free of any unreleased chapters!

Heya! I sent in a matchup request before but I kinda rambled off in it (and I think I was on anon too-) so imma try again and be less ramble-y 😅

Age: 25
Appearance: 5'11 White Australian with pale as fuck skin, blue eyes with dark bags under them, half my head is shaved the other half long, currently dyed red hair but it changes once it washes out and I get bored of my natural blonde.

I smile all the time, even when crying I find myself smiling sometimes. All I want is for the people I care about to be happy; and I don't always include myself in that list but I've been getting better at doing so!
I don't have a job but I am slowly looking. I think I've just gotten used to not having a job or going to school? It's boring and mind numbing, but the last job I had gave me anxiety attacks. Doesn't help I have no ambitions in life. Except for whatever hyperfixation I'm on!
Yet I also verbally yet playfully threaten violence on friends, but if need be I can't ever throw a punch. I diffuse situations with words and pacifist action (like leaving). But I will use my height and build to be threatening to protect a friend, despite knowing that I can't defend myself.

Dislikes: Having writers block, drinking alcohol, smelling cigarettes/weed, being called lazy, being compared to others, the heat (remove my skin), drinking water, my lil brother (when he's in mean mode), racists, terfs, literally all dumbasses who think they're better than everyone, routines.
Hi, I love you! I hope you enjoy this! I want everyone to know that this bean is an amazing Mutual, and you should all check them out! Okay, okay, now to the show!
~~~~~ MATCHUPS ~~~~~
HAZBIN HOTEL
Alastor
~~~~~ HEADCANONS ~~~~~
Alastor really doesn't care for people in general. If you aren't one of the few he deems good enough, stay out of his way.
That's why he was thrown for a loop when you came along. Is someone so kind and genuine not being scared of him? Who do you think you are?
Alastor is very protective, and though it may take ages to realize he has feelings, he will firmly defend and protect you.
When you and Niffty are hanging out, he feels so proud and almost giddy, an emotion he only feels when murdering normally.
When you fought the Angels, he was in awe of you. Though you needed training from Vaggie, you were fierce and ready to do whatever you could to save your friends.
The first time he snapped at you, he felt horrible, and when you started crying, he was practically a dead man, times two. He spent weeks trying to apologize and make it up to you.
He isn't big on touching or affection, but he shows you he cares in his own way. He is always opening the door for you, cooking for you, and taking you to special events or places.
He supports all your hobbies and interests and even tries to help you find new things to enjoy. This way, when he is busy doing whatever he has to, you are entertained until he returns.
He loves just having lazy days with you in the Radio Tower. There, he can work on his master plans, and you can do whatever to your heart's content.
When he finally accepts he has stronger feelings for you than his regular crew of Mimzy, Rosie, and Niffty, he asks the girls what's happening to him.
They collectively help him confess to you, and when they find out that you two are a lot more similar than they thought, they are thrilled for you two now that you guys have found your person.
If you ever mention physical touch or intimacy with him, he will allow it, but only if you are comfortable with it. Do not force yourself to think it's the right thing to do unless you 100% want it to.
~~~~~ BLURB ~~~~~
You had been working with Niffty on a surprise for Alastor. He had been working hard to take down the Vees and especially hard to piss off Vox after a particularly vile comment he made about you. Niffty was out collecting the materials while you were researching how to make a cape, crown, and scepter. Once everything was rounded up and ready to go, you two got down to some serious work. Building your masterpiece for Alastor was moving along well, and you two couldn't wait to see his face.
Sneaking up to Alastors room, you set up the creation. While you were busy making it look perfect, Niffty distracted Alastor. However, Alastor knew that something was off as soon as you weren't downstairs ready to greet him. Making his way to your location, Niffty did her best to stall the tall man, but it was too late. Luckily, just before the door opened, you had set up the display. You remembered before the battle against the Angels that Niffty had dubbed Alastor 'King Roach'. Alastor was a king in your eyes, so you wanted to show him how you honestly thought of him.
There before Alastor stood a mannequin with a deep red cape adorned with blackthorns, a crown made of black cardboard and gold glitter glue, and lastly, a scepter made out of a large stick and one of Lucifer's rubber ducks that looked like Alastor. The man couldn't help but laugh at the creation in pure enjoyment. As he walked over to start putting on the new outfit, Niffty crawled up your shoulder and perched there waiting. Once King Alastor was officially crowned, he bent down and asked, "May I kiss you, my love?" You nodded gently, and all that was heard after the kiss was a 'blegh' sound from the tiny woman perched on your head.
~~~~~ EXTRA ~~~~~
(You had been sitting in the Radio Tower for hours and were ready for fun. However, Alastor was still trying to work.)
Y/N: Can we please do something else, Alastor?
Alastor: Dear, you are always more than welcome to do whatever you please. The most powerful demon lord is your partner.
Y/N: Noooo, Alastor, I wanna do something with you.
Alastor: Hmmmm, is that so, like what?
Y/N: uh uh uh....damn it! You can't put me on the spot like that, Alasor.
Alastor: Alright, alright, come on, let's go to Rosies for some tea and a break.

Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss Rant Again Again Again
It's about time I made another unnecessarily long post about HB!
It's been a few months since the release of Hazbin Hotel and I've watched it a couple of times alongside Helluva Boss. With the newest episode of HB right around the corner, I thought I'd make a post so I can rant about things that I like and dislike about both shows. This is technically a criticism and it will definitely be negative at some points, but let it be known that I love both Hazbin and Helluva and even though I have my preferences, I still appreciate and enjoy the effort and soul put into both shows regardless.
The World building.
World Building is my favorite thing about any creative media. All of my favorite shows put a lot of dedication into fleshing out the environments for which their characters live in. And, in my opinion, any fantasy media should put some emphasis on World Building for it to be worthwhile.
In the Helleverse or the Vivzieverse or whatever the fuck you call the two shows, the WB is kinda mixed. I will admit that my bais towards WB over something like character development and theme, which are both things that HB and HH emphasize, does cause my opinion of the two shows to skew, but there are flaws that exist within both shows that can't go ignored outside of my own personal bias.
Despite my own preferences, there are things that should be addressed in both shows in terms of the world building that isn't, and I don't think it ever will because of the fact that Hazbin and Helluva are character driven. But when you have Hazbin focusing on something that would drastically change the climate and culture of hell (the exterminations), it's only logical that those things would ripple into Helluva. For example; the potential conflict between Heaven and Helluva Boss.
Maybe this will happen in the future, but I doubt it since Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel seem to exist entirely separate from each other. If that is the case then IMP's existence should would directly conflict with Heaven's desire to protect humans.
If IMP is popular enough for demons in other rings to know about their existence, and for Sinners to be lining up down the block looking for a good deal, then why wouldn't Heaven know about it? And if they do know about it, why wouldn't they have done anything? If Heaven wants to keep demons at controllable and suppressed numbers, then how would some demons have access to the living world at all?
Stolas says in "Oops" That Asmodeus's demons (Succubi and Incubi I suppose) are able to access Earth freely and *legally.* Why would someone like Asmodeus, a person who exists one rank underneath Lucifer and is one of Hell's main sovereigns, be able to let his demons do anything on Earth? Succubi are literally bread to intice humans to sin. They have mating calls that make humans want to fuck them. Why would Heaven allow that, if they even know about that. Because if they do then the idea of Heaven wanting to suppress hell is complete bullshit, and if they don't then Heaven sucks at their job.
The Good and The Bad
Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel are both decent shows, but Hazbin Hotel severely outdoes Helluva in several areas. I don't want to be that guy and say "Hazbin is soo much better than Helluva" because I don't really think they're unequal in terms of quality overall, but there are things that can't be ignored about both shows.
For starters, Helluva Boss has no idea what kind of show it wants to be. It started out fairly comedic and lighthearted with some elements of drama, specifically with Blitzo and his relationships, and then it slowly tried to push more and more drama into it to please the overwhelming number of people who are obsessed with the relationships of these characters. The episodes got longer and suddenly we're giving characters arcs that have only had 2 major episodes total (Yes I'm talking about Fizzarolli).
I don't hate the drama in Helluva Boss. In fact I think Truth Seekers, Ozzie's, and Loo Loo Land are the best episodes in the show because they can balance the comedy and the drama well.
For example, I'll compare Loo Loo Land and the S2 Mid-Special.
In Loo Loo Land the relationship between Octavia and her parents is introduced. Even though this is only the second episode in the series and the first time we're seeing Octavia, the episode is capable of being comedic while also showcasing; A) How much of a failure Stolas is as a father despite his best efforts, B) How his blatant, obvious flirting with Blitzo despite being married to Octavia's mother bothers Octavia, and C) How my Stolas cares about his daughter and how the relationship between him and Stella has never been positive despite Octavia's perspective.
In comparison, Oops has Fizzarolli, a character who only had one major episode that was directly before this one. Even though it does the same "starting and finishing a conflict within one episode" thing that Loo Loo Land did, Loo Loo Land never tried to be a full on character arc. The Mid-Musical tries to have this big spectical moment where Fizzarolli is getting rid of his shitty boss and coming out as Asmodeus's partner, but we hardly know Fizzarolli and Asmodeus. We're seeing all these feelings of inadequacy and the need to feel good enough for Asmodeus but we barely even know Fizzarolli as a character. Outside of being the funny jester, the cute Imp boyfriend of the demon king Asmodeus, and one of Blitzo's childhood friends turned enemies, we don't know anything about him. We don't know his hobbies, what his life was like after the fire and before he met Asmodeus, we don't know anything.
The previous episode showed NO effort in showcasing that Fizzarolli feels "inadequate" and wants to prove himself to Asmodeus. Their relationship was seen as the most healthy in all of Hell. Yet come the VERY next episode, suddenly he feels like he's not good enough?
I like this episode and I like Fizzarolli, but in the previous episode he did not feel THIS important. Blitzo was really the one I found paying the most attention to because he's the main character and he's the one who's being accused of maliciously disfiguring Fizz out of jealousy. This episode revealed how he got his scars and what happened to his mother.
Why is Fizzarolli the one getting so much focus when he's a glorified tertiary antagonist?
Hazbin Hotel is capable of doing drama well because that's what it's trying to be. In the first episode they outline the conflict and showcase both sides of the series firsthand. Angel Dust is set up to be a tragic character within the context of the show. His abusive relationship with Valentino doesn't come out of nowhere because they show Valentino's toxic behavior towards Angel Dust as early as Episode 2.
Angel Dust is just one example. There are plenty of others.
It's not like Hazbin Hotel isn't guilty of doing the same thing either. Characters like Carmila Carmine get important emotional episodes despite no previous showcase of this character conflict existing.
In Conclusion,
I like Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, but now that both shows are being developed at the same time, I hope that Vivziepop takes more into account since both shows exist in the same universe. There's more I want to say but this post is already ridiculously long. I want to know other people's thoughts as well. Please reply or reblog with anything else you'd like to add or like to counteract! I like to discuss things!

Okay wait I have a fic idea for Alastor from Hazbin. And this is gonna be a long one so hear me out.
So R (what we calling the reader for this plot) is beginning to become the apple of Alastor's eye. But the thing is, no one fucking knows, not even Alastor. He's just weirdly focused on R a lot of the time, even going as far as preventing them from meeting any potential partners outside of the hotel.
This comes to ahead towards even cock blocking R, even cock blocking them masturbating. This of course frustrates R to the point of tears (I've been there OOF-), and they end up blowing up at Al over this when he prevents them from self pleasuring again. Once they calm down they become fearful and go "Oh fuck I'm gonna die" but instead of being ripped to shreds, instead Alastor just makes a purposal.
This purposal being that of him helping R with their "little problem", in exchange he asks R that if they ever get horny essentially they go to Alastor for help and not some random sinner. Of course R is just like "wait...what" and just is so weirded out cause...is this really Alastor???? Of course Al tells them they are perfectly fine with refusing, though that could just land them with even more frustration.
I can't explain how Al would manipulate R to eventually agreeing, but that happens. And then you can write out how you believe Alastor would engage in sex.
But I have my own headcanon on how I believe he would be with sex. So I'm gonna leave that under the cut.
So I kind of think Al doesn't really do intercourse? Not unless he's specifically is aware of his feelings for whoever caught his eye and is okay with them touching him. But since he's so touch avoidant that I personally feel like it can go in very few ways.
Basically I feel like his go to is mainly fingering and possibly oral. He just gives me major vibes of someone who wants to please his partner, but only for their satisfaction. Like not saying he wouldn't get some kind of pleasure for it, he would definitely need full control over the whole interaction.
Which leads me to also saying that I believe he would probably use some very light form of restraint or bondage to keep that control. Like I don't think he would be aware of it being a kink?? More so the logic would be "that way no risk of being touched" for him.
I could go on and on repeating what I've already said, but yeah. That's how I see it

tw s*xual assault mention + minor hazbin hotel spoilers, read at your own risk
So, as a SA survivor myself, after finally seeing the clip everyone's freaking out about?
Y'all need to shut the fuck up. I'd apologize for the harsh language, but I am honestly so fed up with this pearlclutching crap.
There's no actual context for that scene yet. That could literally be one of Angel's films. We just don't know.
Even if it is an assault, literally every episode has a trigger warning disclaimer at the start of it.
Angel Dust's whole thing is that he's a sex worker in HELL. Why the fuck are you here complaining about that being carried to its logical conclusion in a story? Would you prefer we just romanticized it and pretended even sex workers IRL don't also have to deal with that shit, or would you prefer to ignore it because it's ICKY? Fuck you.
No depiction of abuse/SA is ever going to be clean and pretty. That's the g-damned point. You idiots would have lost your collective shit if Silent Hill 2 came out in 2024.
Personally, this makes me like Angel more than I already did. I really want to see him overcome those scumbags and if porn and sexwork are things he enjoys, I hope he can still manage to enjoy some aspect of them just to spite what he's been through. Or, if he wants to move on from sex work and finds another purpose, that's okay too. I just want good things for him.
I don't use Twitter but if anyone wants to screenshot this and post it there, go for it. Just redact my username.

Hi! This is a response to your Lucifer post on HH.
I would like to clear up some of your confusion, so the first point to make is that Satan is not Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel. In Helluva Boss, season 1, episode 8, Satan is mentioned, and albeit it's not stated, it's implied he's a different character from Lucifer.
Hazbin Hotel takes inspiration from the idea that every deadly sin has its own demon(which | believed came from The Lanterne of Light). Therefore this is why Lucifer and Satan are separate.
Also, of course they would listen to Lucifer, the ruler of hell, the fallen angel and most powerful being in hell(presumably). Hell has a hierarchy, which places Lucifer at the very top.
I hope this could answer some questions or confusion.
I don't know why they wrote Lucifer so badly, but there are some explanations.
Hope this helps
I know why they wrote him badly, it’s because the show is bad. He’s honestly one of the better characters in the series, he’s just severely missing that Satan quality that makes any of this stuff make sense, and is instead overly woobified.
Also satan and lucifer being different beings… fuck that so hard. Lucifer was the snake in eden, and ruler of hell, and required goat sacrifice, that’s fucking satan. You can’t write a character like that and make them a separate entity from satan. Like what does satan even do and why? What is he? What is his past, and what does this add to the lore of the series? Imagine if the first woman, who ate the apple and tempted adam, was lute, and eve was just sort of also there but not the same as lute. That’s how dumb this is.
Though I can see a sort the logic of this stuff. If they fleshed it out more I might have accepted it.

What are some Hazbin Hotel/ Helluva Boss head canons you wanna share? (Yes, I AM asking for you to ramble to your heart's content about the blorbos!)
I love you so much. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
This got real long so its going under a read more.
Hazbin Headcanons:
The sigils that float around Alastor when he uses magic are not actually a part of his powerset. They're part of the leash on him.
Lilith is not in Heaven relaxing, she's spying on them
Husk hasn't preened his wings properly in years and its actually a big part of why he's so goddamn grouchy
Lucifer has the same problem but make it part of why he's so depressed
Charlie has wings but even she doesn't know that yet
Alastor DOES have a deer tail but he either keeps it hidden inside his pants so it can never been seen or continually removes it
Angel can in fact spin webs but hates to because its fucking weird and instinctual and he does not like having his thorax out
Angel is venomous
Contracts by nature nerf the sinner they're attached to unless otherwise specified, and by that logic almost every member of the Hazbin cast are significantly stronger than they're aware of. With the exception of Husk, who held onto his power, and Alastor who knows EXACTLY how much power he's missing.
Valentino legitimately loves Vox but it isn't mutual (the IRONY)
Velvette doesn't change hairstyles, she changes her whole head
Lucifer’s blood is both addictive and toxic to demons in the long term. It tastes like apple cider and FIRE
Alastor absolutely hates it, he tried it once and it was far too sweet for him
Music is ACTUALLY a legitimate form of magic in the Hellaverse and particularly powerful because it can have unintended effects and it is irresistable.
Alastor IS redeemable (ask me about this only if you want the essay)
Helluva Boss Headcanons:
Millie was a prison guard at the jail Moxxie and Blitzø met through.
Octavia's powerset is routed in precognition, but she hasn't begun to explore it enough yet to have realized that
I don't think this is a headcanon exactly but I'm manifesting Loona/Tex/Bee
Fizz tops
Verosika still has lingering feelings towards Blitz and she is PISSED about it
Stolas has been watching that same soap opera since he was a kid
Literally none of the other sins like Mamon its not just Ozzie
MOST of the sins are cool with each other, or at the very least like coworkers about things
Its possible to BECOME a Sin since in this verse they're not fallen angels
The current sins are (mostly) not the original demons to hold those titles
Blitz's Dad is still alive
Striker is demi and TIRED.
If he had taken the deal, Striker actually would have followed through with what he'd told Blitzø
At the circus, Blitzø didn't actually have a room (was given to Fizz though he wasn't originally angry about it) and often times he slept in their horse stable. The horses would let him sleep on them and its a big part of why he loves them so much
Fizz also fucking hates Blitzø's Dad
The agent that got possessed can now see demons as they are despite glamoring
Blitzø is actually genuinely hilarious he just has this issue where if he TRIES to be funny he CANNOT do it.
Moxxie doesn't cuss because his Dad cusses A LOT and he sounds too much like him when he does
Millie is one of those people who is good at literally anything they try the first ir second try and it pisses off both Blitzø and Moxxie, but Moxxie at least tries to hide it because he loves her.
Loona is ticklish as FUCK but if anyone ever learns that, they die
Octavia actually wishes she had a sibling
Millie is the only person who doesn't think Striker is all that hot and does not understand the hype
#hazbin hotel#helluva boss#i did not mean for this to get so long#but goddamn i have so many thoughts

"Alastor may very likely be a wendigo."
Wow. Cool! I had a strong feeling he was. That makes him a thousand times scarier.
"That means Vivzie clearly is racist bc it's cultural appropriation."
Uuuuuuuugh!!
Girl, the wendigo HAS been a pop culture figure for years, if not decades. It is a fact it's not limited to Algonquian or First Nations anymore since ages. Vivzie is very, very, very, very, very very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very FAR from being the first to put a wendigo in a fictional work and far from being the last. Because it is a fucking POP CULTURE figure.
So how the fuck is it suddenly "appropriation"? And how the fuck can you call s/o racist with that one thing (Alastor being a wendigo)?
Also, that may not be the socialist or leftist usual line, (you may call me a fascist or a racist too if that makes you feel so good to be paranoid and see racism everywhere) but I think that "cultural appropriation" concept is pure bullshit:
Cultures, even very different cultures always have crossed paths, blended in and mixed with each other, learned and picked legends from each other. The way it happens isn't always right or just or even logical, it's just natural and human. It's how humans function! In North America and everywhere else in the world!
Or do you mean every people should stay away from their neighbor and never have any interaction with a people different from them? Or any interest in learning new things? If I had followed that mindset, I would be ignorant as fuck AND actually and fully racist. Because racism comes when you don't know shit about people different from you, does it not?
Rather, see that so-called "cultural appropriation" as a opportunity for non-Native American people to learn more about Native American cultures. Or is cultural diversity "cultural appropriation" too??
And bitch, if Vivziepop really was racist against Native Americans, do really think she would have used one of their most popular legends to create her most popular and charismatic villain? Also, if she had no idea what a wendigo is, I may have agreed with you, but she clearly knows what a wendigo is, she educated herself on the subject!
Unlike you, who NEVER educated yourself about her!
And I can't believe I've just explained all that while it's all fucking OBVIOUS and commonly known! How old are you? Five? (tho I bet there are five-years-olds who're more educated and thoughtful than you)
If you're a minor, you shouldn't even watch Hazbin Hotel in the first place.
#hazbin hotel#really sometimes#tumblr EXHAUSTS me#vivziepop#the tons of bullshit said about her#because of a few retarded and paranoid assholes#who takes their twisted and biased interpretation for truth#while being unable to notice the obvious#like saying#she romanticizes#valentino and angel dust#toxic relationship#while bitch#WHERE the fuck did you see that??#and then you charge her with all kind of bullshit#JUST because you didn't understand#what she meant#ugh!#alastor#radio demon#vivienne medrano#racism#native american#first nations#algonquian#cannibalism#wendigo#HAS been part of#pop culture#for ages now

Okay so- if you saw my aroace chr headcannon list, you probably saw Adam from Hazbin Hotel on there! It's been a while since I have written an essay, but honestly I really wanted to expand on my asexual Adam thought and @kiichu asked me to so here we go ;)
[ Just. Don't expect any actual thoughtful analysis. I am mostly just grasping at straws and projecting because I kin the dude ]
[ Oh yeah and I will reference the Trans Genesis AU a lot. Nope, Stanley and I did not abandon it. Sorry not sorry ]
First things first, let's look at his first appearance in episode 1.
Needless to say, he was a bit of an asshole. But something really stuck out to me.
In one of the scenes, he was recounting a date/one-night-stand he had to Charlie (because of course he was).
He clearly seemed to be describing the dinner date itself in detail, but he literally just caps it off with "and then we fucked, and it was awesome".
This line can be read in a few different ways, depending on your view.
1. They didn't actually fuck, the woman ditched him or didn't exist to begin with and he's lying to seem cooler.
2. It wasn't awesome (*at least for him, but yk could go both ways) and he wasn't about to go into detail about his less-than-stellar sexual encounter (I feel. Really uncomfortable writing this, I am too ace for this shit).
3. The logical explanation of the writers not wanting to include it for rating reasons and because of the episode's already short run time and also because we as the audience don't really need to know that. Though I think that if that were just that, a better alternative would've been that Adam either continues describing the date or starts describing the sex and either Lute or Charlie (or both) stop him.
For my interpretation of the ace Adam, we'll go with the second interpretation.
Allos love pointing out how "asexuals can still date/have sex" but they always neglect one thing: that's not exactly how sex-favourable and sex-neutral aces work.
I can't speak for everybody on the spectrum (especially since I am mostly repulsed), but wanting to have sex doesn't mean you feel sexual attraction.
So yeah this doesn't disprove him being asexual, though I am aiming for a very different interpretation.
Sex-repulsed Adam.
NOW, PLEASE HEAR ME OUT I KNOW I SOUND CRAZY!!
Ace men rarely get any representation, and a lot of men (especially cis men, but trans men too) don't realize they're ace or are actively in denial about it because of this thing called ✨toxic masculinity✨
I don't think it's too much of a hot take to say that Adam clearly falls into a lot of toxic masculinity stuff.
Being literally the first man, the original dick (or the original pussy if we're talking about the tgau), he is probably expected to uphold these harmful beliefs of masculinity or at least thinks he has to to be taken seriously (or be percieved as cis at least-).
Therefore, he's probably is in deep, deep denial of his asexuality and tries to cover it up by, well, sleeping around I guess (*hopefully not with human souls because i don't need any of the implications that come with that).
But that doesn't necessarily mean he enjoyed it, you know.
Now I don't wanna go too deep into this honestly quite depressing line of thought, so to keep it brief that's probably why he wouldn't go into detail about that one night stand- even though he totally seems like the type of guy who would talk about this stuff in excessive and unnecessary detail (can you tell I love torturing this guy. I mean if yk the TGAU you probably already know but shush).
That or because a lot of aces literally cannot talk about sex seriously. It has to be a joke or about an ao3 smut fic.
*ahem* Moving on-
The infamous "Now, I'm going to FUCK you" scene that every Adamsapple shippers love (no hate to Adamsapple shippers btw, except @roryheart fuck you Rory /lh silly (I love you buddy don't take this seriously)).
Just. Just look at his face when Lucifer says it.
It could just be pure confusion, which is quite understandable tbh.
Or we could go with the funny interpretation of Adam being so autistic and ace, he thought for a second that Lucifer was actually hitting on him this whole time and he just didn't notice. Purely because this has actually happened to me before and I wanna project-
Moreover, he looks lowkey disgusted by it and just attacks Lucifer immediately.
Whatever, now we get to the ✨angst potential✨ of ace Adam.
Elaborating on the bit of toxic masculinity from earlier, maybe he thinks that his aversion to stuff like is why both Lilith (and presumably Eve) cheated on him with Lucifer, because he wasn't a real man.
And if we wanna get really depressing, all we have to do is just remember that his only purpose was to have as many children with Eve (and previously Lilith) as possible to populate the Earth.
Yeah, sounds like a total nightmare scenario.
I have a few other ideas, but they're really half baked and not really well put together and stuff- idk I just think ace Adam is a cool idea.
Sorry if this wasn't exactly the essay any of you were looking for but I genuinely just think it'd be fun and kinda interesting to explore really.
Btw gonna make "sobek rants" exclusively for angry rants and gonna repurpose "brainingsewer" for essays and analysis and stuff. Not that anybody really cares about my tagging system.
#brainingsewer#sewer dump#tw sex mention#the only guy in the bible#idk i am just throwing words into the world

I tend to not like musicals. I have a very logical mind, and so when characters break out into song accompanied by an unseen orchestra, my brain goes, "Wait, that's not logical." It's no wonder that my favourite Disney animated films are Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, and The Rescuers. It's why I don't like The Lion King. Lions don't sing, and it's difficult for me to get over that.
There's one exception though. I LOVE The Nightmare Before Christmas, and I think I know why: It's entirely separated from our reality. The film takes place in a whole different world, with different rules, and one of those rules is "People can burst into song and music will accompany them". Because the film's reality is entirely different from our own, I can buy into the musical numbers more easily.
Anyways, that's a long ass way of saying that I am LOVING the songs in Hazbin Hotel. I think I still need to warm up on a few, but damn it, I'm not skipping over them! Stayed Gone and Loser, Baby in particular are INCREDIBLE in every sense of the word! And I think it's not bothering me for the same reason TNBC doesn't.
Hazbin Hotel has its issues, it can be poorly paced in places, but holy fucking shit, this show SHINES when it gets to a musical number! Stayed Gone, for example, does SO MUCH to establish the relationship and dynamic between Vox and Alastor and gives us so much insight into their characters. If you only listen to the song and ignore the rest of the episode, you'll understand that:
Vox and Alastor have a rivalry
Vox talks a lot of shit but is really insecure
Alastor can wipe the floor with Vox easily
And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
The songs are SO GOOD and I needed to rant about it!

I think that I'm allowed to say this... both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss designs are flawed/bad and I hope to never see something like this in other shows...
Hate me all you want, but as for little, I know about the shows, lore, characters, etc. Just a few designs hold the key elements to be considered ¨ useful ¨ designs that not just look nice but help us to say what this character's personality is.
I also say this as I study character design and my eyes are burning as I keep seeing Allastor with dear horns and radio eyes...
And all the fucking red...
We can also talk about how there isn't much body variety for more than 3 characters maybe, I don't know.
People might say that is hell and their demons so it makes sense... but that would only apply to the show's logic and no real religion logic.
This is also one of the reasons I just don't watch Viziepops shows, they just don't hurt my eyes, but the writing is very flawed with my questioning what is the actual logic of the demon genoside.
Like, I am the only one who thinks that it is weird that Hell is limited space but Heaven is infinite ??? What would happen if Heaven had to take measures to control its population?? Do the souls in Heaven die too?? Do they get reincarnated if there's too much population??
But anyway that's all I wanted to say...
#post#stupid post#stupid stuff#writing stuff#dont expect any redesigns or au or just rewrite for these shows#i really dont care outside of the visual aspects#because well i study for that#hazbin hotel#helluva boss#i really didnt even cared when the pillot was out#i was just not my thing#i have some friends who say that the show is fun but flawed as well#the babosa is talkign#also why is there a demon with a tv instead of a head if we have a radio demon with just the radio eyes???
