Establishing Couples of Hazbin

What I mean by the title is that I'll be talking about couples that were couples from the start but were built up to be during the show. Now I put Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss together when talking about how the 'healthy' couples were still problematic as all fuck; honestly, it's like the healthy couples were just called healthy because the people involved are actually happy to be next to each other most of the time. I guess that's healthier in comparison to the messy couples

Anyways, the only built-up couples in Hazbin I can think of are two while Stolas and Blitzo is the only couple really being built up in Helluva. And Stolitz is practically the whole show of Helluva Boss by now so they need their own post.

And the thing is, whether it's stable or messy, all the couples in the hellaverse suck. They suck on some level, in some shape or form. Just, again, the healthy couples are probably just better in comparison to other relationships because the people involved are actually typically happy to be together.

(Also bringing up episode 4 at a couple points and I don't mean any disrespect if I don't have the same opinions as some. Just my own perspective and nothing more)

Cherri Bomb and Sir Pentious -

This is pretty short given how there's very little development to their relationship to the point (Seriously, TVtropes says that if one doesn't watch the pilot, it can feel that way, but no. I watched the damn pilot before the show and it still felt like it was out of nowhere). Anyways, there's a serious lack of concern about consent from both sides. Pentious might be the lesser of two evils at best, since he went ahead and stole a kiss from Cherri.

Of course, since I said that Pentious is the lesser of two evils, then Cherri is so much fucking worse. Particularly when she just let people drag an unwilling Pentious into a sex room to have sex. Granted, absolutely everyone didn't give a fuck that Pentious was being forced into sex but in this relationship, why the fuck would I want him to be with a woman who didn't a bat her eye at what was happening at the damn club? In fact, why would I want Pentious to be with a woman who only ever had any visible interest in him when Angel mentioned the 'two dicks' thing? Cherri could have gone to literally any snake demon in Hell if that's what she's going to care about. And if she would have liked Pentious because he's nice, then Cherri might think that he's easy to manage. Considering the shit she did at the club, I can't be convinced that Cherri would never think of Pentious as 'easy to manage'

Husk and Angel Dust -

Considering this was more important to the writers, there's more development but I still think of it as messed up and/or problematic from both sides.

First up, on Angel, he constantly invaded Husk's boundaries and personal space and just kept doing it no matter how blatantly Husk hates it. There's even a possibility that the scene at the bar in episode 4 was even a power move on Angel's part, just wanting to feel powerful or in charge for once. And just because there's a reason why Angel would do that doesn't mean I'll think it's okay for him to do that

I guess Husk takes in stride, while we're moving onto him. For whatever reason, he just cares that Angel is fake that it makes it fine that his boundaries were pushed all the time. I'm getting that impression anyways. But then he starts insulting him in the song and I first had the legitimate impression that Husk was doing it on purpose to get back at Angel for the harassment. Husk also seems to care about influencing Angel however he wants even if it's not consistent. Like how he says that Angel should have pride in being, according to the lines in the song, 'a coked-up dick-sucking ho' but then he turns around and makes it sound bad that Angel is maybe thinking about indulging in drugs

I guess Husk and Angel are fine when the writers didn't have them fight but I still think how they were before hooking up wasn't really all that great, especially if it's supposed to be a good relationship. I mean, I wouldn't consider it good if I got together with someone who continuously acted like they got better things to do than care about if they made me comfortable. The same for someone who makes me feel like I'm being insulted in some attempt to 'cheer me up' after I break down. (I got a little confused about some things that Angel said when he broke down so I didn't take him all that seriously when he went on about it but I digress and the point still stands)
