#tbh i know nothing about modern fashion so i'm probably not much help in the updating department

[ghostchasersmagazine]

I'm thinking Stephanie from the Sundance Kids would look really good in 5D. (She really needs an updated look!)

(Original outfit meme found here)

Thanks for the request! Stephanie in 5D was also requested by @animatedc9000, so clearly this was the winning combination.

It's kinda funny that you mentioned an updated look, since I interpreted this outfit in the opposite way - as a very groovy disco jumpsuit. Either way, she does look good in it.

Say, which characters in HB and HH do you hate the most character wise and then design wise

OHHH MAN i could write an entire video essay about this topic lmao, let me try to be as brief as possible

~~~

Hazbin - Worst Character: This one's hard, there are a few characters who probably suck but I just don't know that much about them. But based on what I know now, honestly…? Charlie. Coinsidering that… I think Faustisse?… confirmed that she's over 200 years old, the sheer level of naivete on her part is just annoying and unbelievable. She's over twice as old as Alastor, she should not be swayed so easily by him. As far as I'm aware she's not in a Disney Princess situation where she was shut inside the castle walls her entire life (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on that though) so there's no reason why she shouldn't be at least a little savvy to the ways of sinner demons. She should also have been able to see the VERY OBVIOUS SIGNS that Vaggie used to be an exorcist. Even Carmilla comments that it's super fuckin obvious; the Princess of Hell herself should be knowledgeable enough to pick up on hints that even the fandom picked up on when it was just the pilot. Overall, Charlie just comes across as kinda stupid imo. I don't find myself rooting for her at all.

Hazbin - Worst Design: Alastor. I know he may not necessarily look the worst, and I do in fact simp for him, but his design does absolutely NOTHING that a character design is supposed to do. Namely, it doesn't tell us anything about him & it doesn't help him stand out from the cast. Nothing about his design is uniquely 1930s (nobody wore their hair like that, pinstripe suits started in the 1800s and continue to be popular today, monocles were more of an 1800s thing and were considered old-fashioned by the 30s) or deer-esque (his ears really do not look like dear ears at all, and his "antlers" are just microscopic salad forks that don't even show up on his silhouette). The whole Voodoo thing, aside from being super disrespectful to a literal religion that is still actively practiced, is also so inconsequential to his character that it can be removed entirely and change NOTHING about him. Any of his traits that are in line with the Voodoo thing can still exist without it -- him being a trickster and a dealmaker, mostly. All the blacklight stuff doesn't match his aesthetic at all: in Princess and the Frog where everything was 1920s it gave a magic effect, but in Hazbin where all different time periods comingle it just gives a raver effect, which doesn't fit his anti-modern preferences at all. Also the living-shadow thing is yet another direct ripoff from Dr. Facilier (that might just be in the pilot though I'm not sure), I think the living microphone is a better route to take if you want him to have a spiritual companion type of thing; it's more relevant to his theming and more original. And of course none of this even touches on the "he's half-black" bullshit excuse that only came after V*v received backlash about the Voodoo thing. And it doesn't even solve the issue anyway. A mixed-race man from the 1930s would make for a very interesting character IF that unique experience/identity was actually integrated into his character in any noticeable way, but it's not. It was just slapped on at the last minute. Ugh. I could write an entire essay about Alastor alone tbh.

Helluva - Worst Character: Fizzarolli, but mostly when he was first introduced. Aesthetically he's the closest thing that I have to a "blorbo" in this show, but in the Ozzie's episode he just gave me the most rancid vibes ever. Definitely a "asexuality doesn't exist, you just haven't been with ME yet~" type of person. Admittedly that's more of a personal preference thing and less of a poor characterization; they're in the Lust ring, that type of attitude is kind of expected. What IS poor characterization, however, is his "development" later on when he and Ozzie basically get their own arc. His entire personality changes to be much softer and like…. idk, very obviously a trauma VICTIM and not so much of a potential trauma CAUSER? His character is not nearly as abrasive, but there's no corresponding event that would cause such a change. It just seems like now that he's supposed to be a sympathetic character, they changed his personality to be more appealing. He's not nearly as mean and rude as he used to be. Ozzie has a similar thing going on but it's not quiiiiite as severe, and he's saved from being the Worst by having a far more interesting and unique design. (If you had asked who I think has the BEST design in Helluva, I'd probably say Ozzie.)

Helluva - Worst Design: Beelzebub, no contest. A lot of people seemed to have a problem with her being bee-themed instead of fly-themed like the real Beelzebub in demonology, but that honestly doesn't bother me; I'm not expecting any Hellaverse stuff to be super accurate to The Real Lore so any tiny reference they can slip in (like with Ozzie's design) is just gravy. To me, bee and fly are close enough, I think it counts as a reference. Plus, the bee theme goes well with Gluttony ("nectar" is a common synonym for delicious food) and calling her Queen Bee is an easy way to make her name more appealing/sexy than, yknow. "Beelzebub." What DOES bother me is her canine aspect. Why is she a sparkledog? What is the logic behind that? Why isn't she huge-by-default like Ozzie and Mammon? (You'd think GLUTTONY of all sins would be a big character!) It really just feels like V*v wanted Ke$ha to have a cameo role as a major character and just arbitrarily picked one of the sins for her to be. So the character design has Ke$ha in mind faaaaar more than it has Beelzebub in mind. ***(Funny thing about Queen Bee: for a solid week after her episode came out, I was actually fooled by this page from an RP wiki: [https://hazbin-hotel-and-helluva-boss-rp.fandom.com/wiki/Beelzebub] The explanation that I'd gleaned for this version of her is that the picture shown is the REAL Beelzebub, and the one we see in the show is her daughter by the lord of Hellhounds, Cerberus, which explains her canine features. Queen Bee Jr. is the heiress to her mom's title in the same way Charlie is the heiress to Lucifer's title. The picture shown on that page is just SUCH a better design, and it looks like the show's style, and she seems to be a giant like Ozzie and Mammon…. can you blame me for being like "OH that makes sense!!" Cut to me a week later finding out this is just a fan RP wiki. Siiiigh.)

What's interesting is if we'll see how the other characters will react to his decision to settle down. Aurora didn't seem to take it for granted. Obviously there's an expectation for him to marry and continue the family line. But I'm also sure others have picked up on him being a 'confirmed bachelor' or even a little bit 'artistic', if they are worldly enough. I actually suspect Ada could see Oscar being 'artistic', as she seems aware of some pretty modern concepts. She has read about gay people for sure... Agnes seems to be more likely to suspect him of having affairs with women, but she's probably in some hardcore denial. Then again, they have seen that it's not the kind of a trouble Oscar's got himself into. He's always been surrounded by single ladies, and plenty of them have probably been charmed by him, but his family has only seen him acting careless and even 'reckless' with other things.

ada knows a lot more than she lets on and is extremely perceptive, & we're going to see even more of that this season, i think (hence the ada talks about sex bingo square) but i do think after 1.07 it is likely she just has an idea now that oscar is being stealthy and that is all it must have been... although i also think she would have been more inclined to believe oscar when he denied the allegations than agnes for many reasons.

meanwhile agnes lives in denial and only knows things about oscar that she wants to, which includes things she made up, which includes that oscar is not having sex with women or anyone at all and is magically going to be a great lover to a nice wellborn young lady on their wedding night 👍 amen.

aurora....

i cannot fucking parse aurora is the thing. i think it is very telling that she reminds oscar she has Tried Helping Him [secure a wife] before and nothing came of it - and him saying he knows what to do now, and the way he is framing that element of their history and how receptive she is to that... i don't know what she was thinking (& we do know aurora acknowledges the fact that gay people exist.) but i think she's very susceptible to Oscar Just Needs To Find The Right Girl logic (i don't really think she wants her cousin and apparently the only young man alive with her maiden name* to be a permanent bachelor!) & i think oscar is going to lean into that hardcore.

tbh it is important to remind ourselves i think that oscar has a reputation as a fortune hunter before the series starts - but we can infer from his interactions with his family and with john especially that he has not been developing this reputation with much drive until within the first season, and then Everything Changes, as we very well know.

i think oscar is delulu <3 & thoroughly in denial if he truly genuinely thinks that nobody is Wondering about him yet, and he still has Time before this will happen. he is So gay. the show is taking steps to single him out in this regard in terms of e.g. fashion and bearing and manner and vocal qualities etc. he is Ticking Boxes. and generally oscar sees only what oscar wants to see.... i would say of his family members, aurora and ada are most likely to have Ever considered any of this in direct regards to oscar, and i think honestly they might not want to think about that for a variety of reasons and so maybe they haven't!

marian knows about gay people but needs impropriety explained to her with the subtlety of a brick to the face so she's not parsing that without evidence in front of her nose, imo. which is why i'm hopeful that she eventually is in a position where she does encounter and has to make a decision about what to Do with that evidence.

and agnes, as i've said above and elsewhere.... agnes doesn't see anything she doesn't want to and she has major blindspots about oscar for that reason.

* aurora van rhijn fane isn't Confirmed confirmed but also it. got pretty close on sunday so hoping we do get it ocnfirmed-confirmed by end of season.

Might I request a match up? I am 18 year old bisexual woman. I am very introverted and tend to keep to myself. I guess I am mature for my age and pretty nonchalant. I find myself giving advice and/or comforting the people around me. Pretty obedient but will stand up for myself if I think I'm being treated unfairly. I'm a little more talkative when I open up and I'm funny, whether that's intentional or not. {PART 1}

PART 2) I am very interested in art. To be specific, music, literature and visual arts. My taste is music is pretty old fashioned with bits and pieces modern songs here and there. I read just about anything if it intrigues me, but the most common genre I have tends to be coming-of-age and slice-of-life. I love anime but just like my taste in music, it's mostly older works. My hobbies include drawing, writing and reading. (PART 3) I've recently developing a passion for fashion and cooking. I guess what I want in a partner is someone I can depend but also someone I can have fun teasing. I can be the emotional mature one and listen to my partner about pretty much anything. But I have this way of showing affection where I just affectionately make fun of the people. Nothing out of malice. I don't think I can handle someone who constantly gets into trouble. I am very patient but I have limits.

Hi!!

thank you for sending in a request!!

for some reason Asmo was on my mind the entire time i read through your request, but the other candidate could be Barbatos and that would work out well too!! not sure if i should do a long match with one of them or just let you have both with short descriptions sdfg 

anyways i’m going to do a bit of both so you can decide which you like better because honestly this is the first time in about 200 matchups that i cannot pick 1 person so there 

Barbatos:

well if anyone then this man keeps to himself a lot so really you’d never feel like he tries too hard to get you to open up to him or anything

his approach to you would be very different from Asmo’s as he would be much more subtle. he would never forget about you though, always makes sure to prepare extra cookies for you, etc. so any time you randomly visit the castle he has something made by him to give you

hopefully you accept his offer because he is the best baker in the bunch so really you’d be missing out on a lot. if that doesn’t impress you then his chances are over forever

oh the adoring look on his face when you finally open up to him 

he could not look into your eyes for too long because that would be too much so he has to restain himself from looking at you 

he is also sophisticated, as the butler of the royal family should be, so you have someone to talk with about arts, literature, etc. 

i think the hobby you have in common is reading (though he doesn’t really do that as often as he wants because. work.) so talking about books could became a topic over tea often

someone with a sense of fashion would be an interesting change in his life tbh?

if you ever helped him out with cooking? he pulls a ring on the spot. no but like he has responsibilities to take care of and he is used to do this by himself for millenias, like this was his life when the brothers were still in the celestial realm. so after all this time someone actually wants to help him? think about that

oh you have many opportunities to tease him but he is going to tease back so be prepared

lord he has never ever got in trouble and he’d make sure he never upsets you! 

so like with him, not much conflict? however you’ll have to get used to him having a work ethic that takes up most of his time (easier said than done), but he means well!! 

Asmo:

ok you might think this is a reach but hear me out!!!

the fact that you are introverted isn’t going to be an issue for him, his best friend is Satan and we all know he is not very open either

i think this just gives a balance to the relationship. sometimes you’ll probably have to join him in his outgoing activites and he is going to make sure you enjoy yourself too!!! it’s ok if that doesn’t become a regular thing, i mean you two are different ppl, you don’t always have to be tied by the hip. 

i don’t think so he wold treat you unfairly? i mean in the recent lessons and devilgrams he is a very nice and caring partner. 

he would definitely appreciate your more talkative side, and i’m pretty sure he would enjoy your company as you are fun to be with, once he gets on the other side of your walls!

your tastes are very different, you liking the old stuff and he the new, but i mean that wouldn’t cause issues. i mean if you prefer an oil painting of himself rather than a selfie then you can have it!! 

fashion is where you two have a common ground, but sometimes he’ll find a cute recipe on devilgram and he insists on making it with you!

matching outfits though

he would let you pick out his clothes and you know that means he really loves you

unless it comes to physical work i’m pretty sure you can rely on him, and i think he is easy to tease and he wouldn’t really take it to heart.

but be prepared to be teased back!!

i don’t think he gets into trouble once you have an established relationship with him. the road there might be a bit rocky because of the different personalities, but opposites attract right? you have fun when you two are together and that is what matters in the end.
