Let us walk on stained glass, sinners one, sinners all

“Malam”

@razzlefrazzum introduced me to the Devil’s carnival ( directed by Darren Lynn Housman and written by terrance zdunich ) and I had to do something, specifically after listening to the latest episode of Makevolent

I thought of making it about dark Arthur Lester but why not letting you interpret what happened to this father

Now If you’ll excuse me, I shall go hibernate

Biggest gripe, Lucifer's design is still hella weak.

You'd figure having the moment with his six wings showing would be interesting but all it does is take up the screen. Why is this show, which could have so much pizzazz, giving us one of the weakest Lucifer Morningstar designs? The pilot teased a scarier design for him but I've officially lost all interest. I can handwave the rest of the show away because it's just not my thing, but I *love* stories about the devil and all of the creative directions people take him in.

If you want a good musical about the afterlife where Hell also has a circus theme then I recommend The Devil's Carnival duology!

Episode one is very setup heavy but episode two is where it really shines. The music is great, the visuals are fun and you can feel every bit of love that went into it! The world building for Heaven and Hell are great and it all has a very unique feel.

I'm not going to settle for something that was phoned in. There are tons of other pieces and projects that do the same thing but better.

Boy draw furroughs as other ships you like. Do it nowwww (said cuz I noticed a furroughs piece and a saiouma piece you used for examples in your comms look similar)

hsdhjhcv yeahh im guessing urr talking about the ones of them in bed . yeah i loove drawing my ships resting together and the pose i fall back on is the smaller one clinging onto the bigger one hdfjhvjhcjvf which i guess leads to similiar art . anyway hereeeeee

while drawing the billford onee my mind actually like started doing lots of thinking like. like how that one amaterasu peacekeeper symbol resembles a triangle. howw a symbol of the metal fox is an eye. yakou ahs that fucking eye tattoo on his chest. how seth is Cone. this doesnt rlly amount to any conclusion i just think the shared symbolism is interestingg and i rotated it in my head as i drew this . and the idea of yakou (being stanford in this au) having a tattoo of this evil demon he got gay with is funny as fuckkkk talk about ex boyfriend tattoos that one regrets

Ember's Annual Devil's Carnival Halloween Rewatch: Shovel and Bone

Black lungs, black breath Hissed across the faces of dear departing souls Swallowing the guilt and ink Black coal, black freight Cutting with its teeth in ash and vein and skin Clawing through the sludge and stink

People confused about the morality of Heaven in Hazbin Hotel and find it incorrect so need to look at works like Devil’s Carnival where Heaven and its angels are heavily shown to be sadistic and cruel and into self indulgences like alcohol and drugs and sex

Or Good Omens season two which repeatedly shows instances some from biblical lore showcasing the cold cruelty of Heaven: the story of Job and how God made a bet with Satan torturing a human family to see how long until Job would break and curse God and be promptly damned to Hell if he did so.

Like Hazbin is literally not the first or only work to showcase angels being sexist or cruel or cursing or gluttonous. It’s common, even in biblical lore itself cruelty is often.

If you want to nitpick hate on the show don’t pick something where I can recommend a ton of other shows books movies and games as well as the actual Bible to prove its an invalid criticism.

What a pretty yet dangerous line, my love

Some explanation to Rosie's role as the painted doll bc I don't remember if i ever posted about it here: I know Ive already posted about vaggie being June in this AU which is definitely still the case, but the painted doll scenes from the first movie felt like they didn't fit vaggie, and the scene with the kissing booth where the painted doll bites off john's ear was giving major rosie vibes to me, so she's taking over most of the scenes from the first movie. So technically speaking the painted doll and June are 2 different characters in this with some overlap, which balances out Cora and the agent fusing into one character for lute I guess cdsbjcds. I think this helps with keeping the characterizations truer to what they are in hazbin, plus to me it would help the second movie's reveal of june towards the end make a bit more sense.

can you pls do a dating headcannon for The twin from the devils carnival x readerpls.is okay if youcant but if you do i really appreciate it.

The Twin x Reader: Relationship H/c’s

Warnings: 1 nsfw + 1 angst h/c

Word Count: 1.6k

( I thought it would be fitting for this to be my first post after my hiatus coz it was the earliest ask in my inbox😭 This was requested before I considered doing requests and then it got lost but once I saw it again in my inbox I got rly excited about it coz idk how the requester knew the Twin was my absolute fav in the Devil’s Carnival. So pookie so sorry this was like a three year long wait😭 I tried to write as much as I could to make up for how long it’s been💖 )

♡ No matter how you ended up in hell (whether it be you died a sinner, you’re a fallen angel, you’re an angel sent to deliver a letter, or you were a mortal who got there by mistake), you met while he got you to play one of his booth games

♡ You won. And he was hooked on you right off the bat

♡ He rigged his own game so he questioned how you managed to win and you just simply explained how you knew tricks to win carnival games

♡ After that, he’s so intrigued by you that he practically follows you around like a lost puppy

♡ Always lurking a meter behind you, just simply observing you

♡ The first time you caught him carelessly following you, “Can I help you?” You snapped as you turned around

♡ He stopped in his tracks, not even trying to hide or make it look like he was doing something else, and just stared at you. He slyly smiled with teeth and wiggled his gloved fingers at you as a wave

♡ You nervously swallowed and hesitantly continued walking, cursing the soft sound of his following footsteps

♡ You thought he was creepy at first with his hunched back and layered voice but you eventually warm up to him since of how often he sticks around you

♡ Once in a relationship, ur done for. Coz there is NO getting rid of him now

♡ He was clingy before with the non-secret stalking, but now that you’re romantically involved he’s practically glued to you, always going back and forth from your left and right side, constantly hovering you like a hawk

♡ Your body is like a magnet to him, he’s always mindlessly inching towards you until your arms are touching. But he can’t help it! He’s cold blooded and you warm him up the best way possible

♡ He’s practically physically clinging around you a few times a day, breathing down your neck type of closeness

♡ Never in a way that made you feel suffocated tho, it actually relaxed you knowing his presence would always be within reach. Plus sometimes he’d be so silent you’d forget he was there, leading to you getting a heart attack when he suddenly said something

♡ He loves scaring you for your cute little reactions, like tapping you on the shoulder and hiding when you turn around, he likes the look on your face and the way your heart jumps

♡ So expect him doing that A LOT

♡ But like, no one else is allowed to scare you though. Just him.

♡ He’s a hisser when he sees demons that are nothing but trouble approaching

♡ No matter how you ended up in hell, he doesn’t like you going off on your own. He knows hell well enough to know that everyone is unforgivingly horny and there’s a handful of untrustworthy and sadistic demons who are always looking for new playthings

♡ So that’s one of the many reasons why he likes to keep you close

♡ Oh he is most certainly the jealous type! He’s practically green with envy anytime he sees you getting along with other demons. He’ll suddenly slip in between you two and claim he desperately needs you for an urgent manner just so he could steal back your attention

♡ Absolutely hates when anyone interrupts your alone time. He won’t yell at the trespasser, not wanting you to know think he wants to hog your attention that badly, but will glare and occasionally hiss until they leave

♡ Omg he DEFINITELY shifts into other people to ask what you really think of him

♡ You subtly catch on tho. Coz like, the Doll would NEVER ask you what your favorite and least favorite thing about the Twin was

♡ You always think about letting him get away with it, but you find it more entertaining to squish the person’s cheeks and look directly in their eyes and say, “(pet name), I know it’s you”

♡ He changes back almost instantly with a grimy pout

♡ Plays with your hair when he teases you

♡ He doesn’t shy away from pda at all, he doesn’t believe he should have to change his affections or tone it down when in front of others. This is Hell after all

♡ He likes taking walks with your arms linked together

♡ Surprisingly, he’s a bit of a romantic: always going above and beyond for dates, never shies away from showering you in his verbal love, you are literally his main priority and the center of his world. He basically organizes his day around you and your needs

♡ He’s kind of an old-fashioned type of lover

♡ Always doing magic tricks for you by your demand, he finds it cute how vividly impressed you get over his illusions no matter how many times he shows you the same tricks

♡ He once considered teaching you the secrets behind the tricks but then he got worried that you would stop being amazed by him

♡ He has a morbidly good memory, he even remembers the most pointless, insignificant things. Though his memory can get annoying in playful bickering or the rare arguments with him bringing up very specific things you’ve said

♡ You sometimes cringe to yourself in the middle of the night over the thought that he remembers all the embarrassing stupid, ignorant things you’ve said

♡ Serious fights are slim to rare in your relationship. He can almost never get mad at you for anything, and even if he does he doesn’t stay mad for very long at all. He literally subconsciously defends you all the time even if it’s him you’re arguing with

♡ His empathy for you also makes you unable to stay mad at him, plus his willingness to cooperation to fix whatever it is you’re mad at him about

♡ He’ll pretend to be grumpy and resent you softly caressing your fingers over his scales, but he secretly ADORES it. Well, he thinks it’s a secret but really everyone knows he likes it

♡ He’s a clinger when asleep. I imagine he’s like a snake curling around you and squeezing so you can't escape

♡ He does like to watch you sleep in the dead of night

♡ If you’re ever separated for something and you have to go somewhere for a certain amount of time, his whole demeanor quite literally deflates due to your absence. He’s so dramatic when he misses you, he acts like you died died

♡ The thing he loves most about you is your assertiveness and how you never stand for anyone disrespecting you or hinting at it, no matter who they are. You’re courageous enough to tell others off and confront anyone about a certain matter

♡ His favorite physical feature of yours is your smile. To him, it brightens up the dark atmosphere of Hell and it fills him up with a foreign feeling. He could stare at your smile for hours, not in a creepy way though… well kind of in a creepy way

♡ He’s a biter, affectionately and sexually

♡ NSFW: Sex with him is insane and very dirty btw, need I remind you again that he’s literally a demon of Hell?

♡ Angst: Deep, deep down in his bones lives the confident fear that this romance won’t last. That either something terrible will happen to you or you will abandon him. He feels as if the end of his blissful happiness is an unavoidable destiny for a demon in Hell like him

♡ One of the many things he’s grateful for and appreciates is your acceptance of him. Like yeah you were definitely freaked out by him upon first meeting but you quickly grew to adore all his little quirks and creepy traits, he’s still a demon after all

♡ He’s also grateful for and appreciates your trust immensely. He knows all too well that trusting your vulnerability and heart in the hands of a demon is the most lethal risk. So the fact that you demonstrate comfort when with him warms a part of his desolated chest that hasn’t ever been touched before

♡ He’s earned that trust of yours by his endless proven loyalty to you and how you’re always his first choice

♡ You will always be his favorite playmate and audience

♡ He enjoys the silent moments with you. What is he thinking about in those moments? He’s wondering what you’re thinking about!

♡ He’s fairly open with you with his feelings but not really his thoughts, he doesn’t want to scare you away… at least badly

♡ He would feel incomplete without you. You are his main source of happiness and he considers you as the one good thing in his life

♡ I think he would quite literally do anything you ask of him, I’m talkin heaven and back for you, and without the restraint of morals holding him back, the possibilities of his request granting are nearly infinite

♡ The effect you’ve had on the double-talker is evident to everyone with eyes. Everyone noticed instantly how he’s literally always with you

♡ Some demons claim he’s gone soft, but they only say that because of how he acts around you (like a wounded puppy), he still has little to no regard for others (others who aren’t you ofc)

♡ Most of them are just secretly mad and envious that the creepy-crawly snakish or lizardish or whatever he is demon got to fall in love

♡ Overall, having this slithery and hissy shape shifter as your companion can get very annoying… but somehow he endlessly makes up for it with his unwavering loyalty and infatuation for you and always keeping each day interesting
