Episode Six: The Kill-Switch

“Let go of me!” Angel cries, being choked to death by Val’s hand. Flashes of Angel getting hurt by Val and Husk trying to help him goes by quick. Husk tries to call out Angel’s name to show that he’s here.

“Angel! I’m right here! Let me in! Please!!” Husk cries in his dream.

“Husk...Husk...HUSK!”

Husk gasps and jerks his body away from the unfamiliar touch to realize it is just Fizz shaking his shoulder gently to wake up. He blinks and realizes that he’s in the back of the limo with Fizz and Ozzie.

“You okay there, buddy?” Ozzie asks with a brow raised.

Husk rubs his tired eyes and sits up. “Yeah, yeah.” He looks out the window to find the green smoke everywhere.

“We’re in the Greed ring now,” Ozzie replies before Husk can ask where they’re at.

“It looks like shit,” Husk responds.

“Don’t let Mammon hear you say that,” Ozzie sasses back.

Fizz gulps and looks at Husk. “Listen. We can’t be seen around here. The last time we’re here, we pissed off Mammon. So, it’s better if we don’t even come with you beyond this point. Mammon can be an asshole and he’s going to want you to sell your body for a quick buck.”

“Don’t let him,” Ozzie replies firmly. “This is the last guy I want anyone to go to for help. But he knows more about the greed chains than most, so, if he’s not such an asshole, maybe he’ll be able to help you. Just don’t mention that we are the ones who sent you to him.”

Husk nods in understanding. “Yeah, yeah, I ain’t gonna say any shit.”

“Thanks,” Fizz replies happily as the three of them notice that they stop in front of the tent.

“Well, we’re here,” Ozzie says. “Remember, don’t let Mammon sell your body.”

“I never let anyone sell my body,” Husk responds before getting out of the limo.

“Good luck,” Fizz replies as Husk exits the vehicle.

Husk nods and faces the tent. He hears the limo drive away, taking deep breaths.

“Alright, let’s get this over with,” Husk mutters to himself. He hears music inside of the tent, walking into the tent. He sniffs addictive food like popcorn and churros. He sees posters everywhere of two fish-like ladies known as Glitz and Glam, exposing their breasts and crotches. He looks away from the posters and notices the music performed by the two lady fishes, twerking in front of their horny audience. Glitz starts to sing passionately, showing off her curves.

“Get ready for the new era!

A new song, a new trend!

I don’t need love, more like leave you a mess.

Double-trouble, ya, that’s right.”

Glam starts to rap in her song, jumping over her partner.

“See your taxes

Greed is where the cash is.

Let’s see how horny you can be for us.”

With that said, Glitz and Glam notice Husk not paying attention to them and looking for Mammon. They exchange mischievous glances at each other before jumping off stage, surrounding Husk like predatory vultures. They start to sing together, touching his body to get him aroused.

“Whatcha doing here, new face?

Haven’t seen you around here before.”

Glitz caresses Husk’s face, turning him to face her.

“Let’s take this to the bedroom, what do you say?”

Husk pushes the two women away from him gently, not willing to take part in the song they’re singing. He tries to search for this Mammon guy in the tent, but he can’t find him in the crowd. However, the girls look at him confused as if they had never been denied before.

Husk hears the girls singing, but the lyrics are faded in his mind. He looks up to find a bigger and rounder demon, two bottom set of arms holding the popcorn while the top set of his arms were eating the pieces. He has a green and black jester outfit, his green eyes staring at the performance in front of him, sitting on the web.

He looks at the poster that has the exact image of the demon above him with his name ‘Mammon’ on top of the image. He shifts his gaze back up at the demon above him known as Mammon. Husk extends his wings and flies up towards Mammon, standing on the web next to him.

“Mammon!”

Mammon looks around to find a voice calling him.

“Down here!” Husk calls.

Mammon glances down at the cat sinner demon. “Oh, hey, if you need something from me, you’re going to have to wait until after the show. Popcorn?” Mammon offers popcorn to Husk, who pushes it away.

Mammon shrugs. “Suit yourself.”

Husk groans and watches the show, cringing at the performance until it’s over. The audience cheers, thirsty for the bodies of Glitz and Glam.

Husk watches Mammon getting up, jumping down from his web. “Hey, wait!”

Husk jumps down with Mammon, who’s striding towards the sales.

“Let’s sell more of these plushies,” Mammon replies to the vendor while holding up the plushies of Glitz and Glam. He notices the body pillows. “What the fuck is this?! You didn’t get them in their sexy poses!”

“Mammon! I need to talk to you!” Husk calls.

“Look, if you’re looking for autographs, go up to Glitz and Glam,” Mammon responds to Husk, noticing the body pillows when the fish twins are naked. “Holy shit, now that’s more like it!”

Husk grumbles, “I’m not looking for autographs--”

“These then?” Mammon says, shoving the pillows of the naked celebrities in Husk’s arms.

Husk’s face contorts in disgust and throws them away. “I ain’t looking to buy your fucking products! I’m looking for you!”

Mammon glances at Husk and shrugs. “Well, my performing days are over--”

“I ain’t gonna ask about your celebrity days! I need your help with this!” Husk responds, gripping his throat to reveal the green chain wrapped around it.

Mammon widens his eyes in shock. “Holy shit, that’s the greed chain.”

“Yes,” Husk responds, the chain disappearing when he lets go. “I need your help on how to get out of them. Do you know how to get out of them?”

Mammon appears to be confused. “Who’s your overlord?”

“Alastor, the Radio Demon.”

“Th-The Radio Demon. Oh shit!” Mammon gasps in shock while turning around to think of something.

“How do I get out of these chains?” Husk questions.

“Why should I be helping you?” Mammon responds with sass in his tone. “You don’t look like you have a lot of money.”

“I was told that you can help me. Now answer the fucking question. How do I get out of these chains?”

Mammon turns to look at Husk, a smirk cornering his face when an idea pops into his brain. “How about this, uh, who the fuck are you--?”

“Husk.”

“How about this, Husk? I got a fighting ring in the town called Ransom. It’s paid good money and, if I think you’re good enough, you might get an answer out of me about your chains. Just win five rounds and you should be set, mate. What d’ya say?” Mammon offers with a smirk, his hand stretched out to shake Husk’s.

Husk is about to decline, but he realizes that there’s no other way of getting Mammon to answer him. He sighs and extends his hand to shake on it. “Deal.”

Mammon smiles mischievously. “Perfect.”

~.~

Husk doesn’t have his overall straps. He’s not wearing his usual pants, except for boxer shorts. His ears are lowered at his reflection in the mirror in the lockerroom before the boxing match.

“Well, shit,” Husk responds to his reflection. He hears the crowd cheering with Mammon’s booming voice announcing the round.

Husk turns to the opening curtain that shined lime green. A sigh escapes his lips, rolling his shoulders to hear them pop. He pulls out of the photograph of Angel’s selfie with Husk smiling and Angel holding Fat Nuggets. He smiles at the photograph selfie before tucking it away into the pocket of his discarded pants on the bench.

“Here we go,” Husk replies to himself while facing the curtain and walking through it.

Once Husk steps into the limelight, he listens to the crowd booing at him. He doesn’t know why, but he didn’t care to know. He hops over the wooden fence surrounding the ring, noticing the first opponent to be a buff shark demon, bigger than Husk has ever face.

Husk gulps, getting ready to use his cards while Mammon announces the fight.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Ransom Fighting Ring! Place your bets on who’s going to be the winner!” Mammon replies while watching the crowd placing bets by putting their money in the plate of the first brawler. However, a familiar black robotic arm reach over to place a hundred on Husk’s plate, which Mammon glances around to find who did it.

Husk arches a brow at someone making a bet and looks up to find Fizz in a black hood and hiding himself in the crowd with Ozzie hiding in the shadows. He blinks in shock that they showed up, but he shifts his focus on his first opponent.

“The rules are simple,” Mammon replies, continuing with the announcements. “No weapons and no magic. Your opponent has to be close to dead in order for you to win the round.”

Husk gasps in shock, putting his cards away and taking out his claws.

“And have some fun! Let the fight begin!”

Husk takes a deep breath, facing his first opponent.

The brawler charges at Husk, who uses his wings to dodge the attack. Husk focuses on the attackers fists, dodging them until an unexpected fist slams against his cheek. Husk flies back into the wall with a groan in pain. Fizz, from the audience, gasps in fear of Husk’s life.

Husk feels his tail grabbed by the shark brawler and is thrown across the ring into the wall. He doesn’t have time to dodge another attack as another fist pounds on his other cheek. Husk feels punches coming from different directions by the same brawler, bruising his face and his torso.

Fizz and Ozzie watch in horror and glance at Mammon, who’s smiling evilly at Husk’s loss.

Husk is gripped around the throat and thrown to the other side of the ring. Breathing heavily, Husk’s vision is nothing but a blur as he looks to see the brawler charging at him. Having enough of getting beaten down, he dodges the attack quickly. He swipes his claws at the brawler, drawing a lot of blood out of him.

“My turn, motherfucker,” Husk growls as he flies towards the brawler, scratching him up like a feral cat.

Mammon losts his smirk when he sees Husk rising and taking down the brawler.

The brawler falls back with blood on his body, close to being dead. The crowd stops their cheers and looks at Husk, with a black eye, bruised cheeks, and bruised chest. The crowd cheers, including Fizz clapping excitedly at Husk’s sudden victory.

“The matches ain’t over yet! He’s got four more rounds to go! Let’s see if he’s truly the winner!” Mammon scoffs at Husk’s first victory.

Ozzie growls lowly from the audience. “That motherfucker.”

Fizz nods in agreement. Ozzie gives Fizz another hundred dollars to make another bet on Husk. But this time, Fizz and Ozzie aren’t the only ones placing bets for Husk. Some of the audience members placed the bets on Husk as the second brawler comes out. The second brawler is a woman demon imp, with long black hair and horns grown to the sides.

“FIGHT!” Mammon calls.

She leaps at Husk to throw a few punches onto his shoulders. Husk only staggers back until another punch lands on his already bruised cheek. But Husk manages to recover quickly, using his claws to swipe at the woman imp, nearly killing her with his slashes.

Once she’s down for the count, the audience starts to cheer more for Husk. Husk looks up at Mammon with a shit-eating grin. Mammon grows a bit more angrier and summons the next fighter in the ring. More audience members place bets for Husk to win, including Fizz and Ozzie.

The next opponent is a cheetah transman demon, spikes on his back and claws like Husk’s. Husk narrows his eyes and gives a cat-like snarl at the other cat.

The cheetah demon pounces on Husk, but Husk flies away from the cheetah’s jump. The cheetah swipes his claws towards Husk, leaving claw marks on his chest. Husk realizes that he’s bleeding, but he shields himself with his red wings from the cheetah’s claw attack. Husk yelps from the scratches on his wings, causing him to punch the cheetah right in the face. He flaps his wings off the ground slightly to kick the cheetah in the chest.

He lets his adrenaline kick in as he flies towards the cheetah, putting him in the chokehold. The cheetah attempts to scratch him, but Husk shields himself with his wings from the scratches, He wraps his legs around the cheetah’s arms until the cheetah blacks out from being choked.

Husk throws the cheetah’s limp body aside and stands up, breathing heavily. The audience starts to cheer for him, leaving Mammon growing more angrier that he’s winning three rounds so far. Husk’s legs are wobbly from the fight, but he pushes his body to stand up more firmly.

Fizz and Ozzie notice this with concern looks on their faces.

Mammon summons the next fighter, who’s a lanky imp with white hair and horns.

Husk prepares himself for the fight, despite being bruised and having blood dripping down his stomach. The next fighter charges at Husk, but his fists doesn’t hurt when the punches were thrown at Husk. Husk smirks at the easy victory, using his claws to scratch up the imp. The imp is down quickly without another fight. Husk watches his last fighter being carried away as he looks up to see more people making bets on him.

However, he notices that Fizz and Ozzie stop placing bets for Husk, trying to motion him to quit while he’s ahead. Husk is confused on why they were trying to get him a quit until Mammon announces the final fighter.

“For the last fighter! We have---CHAZWICK THURMAN!!!”

Husk glances to see a buff shark with brown hair slicked back, assuming that his name is Chazwick. However he doesn’t have teeth or jaw as if it’s ripped off of him.

“Yeah! Make some noise!” Chazwick shouts, showing off his muscles to his fans cheering.

Mammon smirks at Husk as he announces, “Chazwick here wins all five rounds before! Let’s see if Husk can beat him!”

Fizz and Ozzie’s faces contort in concern for Husk as they look on fearfully.

Chazwick turns to see the bruised and bleeding Husk and laughs. “This kitty has beaten the last four opponents?! This is gonna be easy.”

He charges at Husk, who dodges out of the way. Chaz’s fists swings at Husk, but he dodges them swiftly. When Husk swipes his claws at his opponent, Chaz manages to snatch Husk’s wrist and slams him onto the ground.

Husk groans in pain and sees Chaz’s hands wrapped around his throat to choke him.

“It’s time to die, little kitty!” Chaz responds, appearing more manic than before.

Husk tries swiping his claws to defend himself, but his vision is starting to black out.

Fizz shakes his head when he watches Husk being choked by Chaz and is about to get up from his seat to help Husk, but Ozzie stops him when he sees Mammon noticing them. He shields them from Mammon’s sight. Fizz continues to watch Husk being choked in horror.

As Husk is starting to black out, flashes of Angel being hurt by Val and coming to the hotel in bruises and scratches fills his mind. Husk loses himself in his mind, remembering Angel’s voice and smile as they talk at the bar of the hotel. Angel’s stupid sex jokes while Husk grows used to it. Husk starts to tear up from seeing the memories of Angel holding Fat Nuggets and showing him to Husk as if he’s introducing his pet pig to him. It’s sudden that his vision starts to turn green.

From Chaz’s point of view, he notices Husk’s eyes turning green. Before Chaz can question what’s going on with Husk, the tentacles shot out from the ground and stab through his body. Chaz is slammed onto the ground, earning silence from the audience, including Mammon, Ozzie, and Fizz. They all stare in horror as the tentacles drag Chaz through the ring and slam him against the wall. Chaz starts crying in fear.

“Help me! HELP ME!!!!” Chaz cries before the tentacle stabs through his open jaw, going into his brain. Another tentacle zooms into Chaz’s throat, going through his body and breaking his bones. Chaz’s eyes turn green as he screams in pain before more tentacles dive into his body to tear more into his organs until they rip him in half.

Husk stands up to look over at the split Chaz and looks up at the audience, who stares at him in horror. Fizz and Ozzie appears more in shock at Husk’s unknown abilities than horrified.

“Holy fucking shit,” Ozzie mutters under his breath.

Husk glares at Mammon, green eyes lit in his eyes. He zooms towards Mammon, using his tentacles to hold his arms up and grip his throat.

“I’ve won five rounds! Now give me the fucking answer!” Husk snarls at Mammon.

Mammon gulps in fear, trembling. “U-Uh, mate, listen, if you let go, I’ll give you the answer. Just let me go.”

Husk breathes heavily in anger. The audience scream in terror and hurry out of the tent so that they wouldn’t get killed by Husk’s tentacles.

“Husk,” Fizz calls out.

Husk glances to the side to see Fizz and Ozzie trying to inch their way to calm Husk.

“Did you fuckers set him up to kill me?!” Mammon screams at them angrily.

“Shut the fuck up, Mammon! You’re going to make him more mad!” Ozzie argues back with Mammon. “Just give him what he wants!”

“I don’t fucking know how he can out of the chains of the Radio Demon!” Mammon barks at Ozzie.

“Are you serious?!” Fizz shouts.

“Yes, I’m serious! Now get your killer’s tentacles off of me!” Mammon barks an order. The tentacle squeezes his throat. “I’m serious, mate! You wouldn’t want to see me when I’m mad!”

Husk snarls like a cat.

Mammon growls. “You ask for it!” The green smoke appears all around him, breaking the fighting ring. Mammon legs grow underneath him like a spider, throwing Husk down like a rag doll. Husk crashes onto the ground before getting up to summon more tentacles to attack.

However, Ozzie rises up in his full demon form in between Husk and Mammon while Fizz jumps in front of Husk to get Husk to snap out of it.

“Husk, calm down,” Fizz responds, putting his hands up.

Ozzie glares into Mammon’s eyes. “You better back the fuck up, Mammon!”

Husk breathes heavily in anger, ready to attack anyone near him.

Fizz notices this while putting his hands up. “Hey, I’m not going to attack you. Please, calm down. Think of Angel.”

Husk softens his gaze, his tentacles relaxing. “A-Angel?”

“Yeah,” Fizz replies, smiling in relief to find something to calm him down. “Angel is at the other ring right now, waiting for you to break your chains. That’s why you’re here right now. He’s the reason you’re here right now, right?”

“A-Angel,” Husk mutters, his green eyes fading. The tentacles disappear around him as he falls forward from all the bruises and the blood loss.

“Oh shit!” Fizz yelps and catches Husk into his robotic arms. “You’re okay, pal. You’re okay.”

“W-What the fuck just happened?” Husk stutters, noticing Chaz’s dead body. “What the hell did I just do--?”

“Shh, just relax, man. You won the fight fair and square. Now, Mammon owes us an explanation,” Fizz says while glaring up at Mammon.

Ozzie gives Mammon the same glare as Fizz. Both Ozzie and Mammon go back to their original form.

Mammon sighs tiredly. “Fine. C’mon before we summon anymore tentacles that kills people.”

As Mammon is walking out of the ring, Ozzie notices Husk passing out in Fizz’s arms. Fizz tries to help him up, but Ozzie approaches them.

“Here, I got him, Froggie,” Ozzie whispers to Fizz, picking Husk up in his arms to carry him out of the ring with his short boyfriend following behind him.

~.~

Husk groans in pain. He hears two voices arguing over something, but he can't understand them until they become clearer.

“Ugh, fuck,” Husk moans.

“You're okay. You're okay,” Fizz’s voice echoes in the chambers of his mind.

Husk groans more and flutters his eyes open, realizing that he’s staring at the green ceiling. He tries to move his sight around to find Fizz tending to his wounds.

“What the fuck?” Husk questions and sits up, noticing bandages around his torso. “What the fuck happened to me?”

Fizz clenches his teeth. “Hey, don’t move around too much. You’re going to strain yourself.”

“D-Did I win?” Husk asks with a soft gaze at the cyborg imp.

Fizz smiles nervously. “Yeah, fair and square. Just relax yourself for a moment. I have to get this scratch mark right here.”

Husk winces when Fizz is cleaning the wound with the washcloth. They hear Ozzie and Mammon arguing at the other room.

“Uh, so,” Fizz begins with a nervous tone. “Nice way of using tentacles at the end. Although it tore someone in half. Remind me to not get on your bad side.”

Husk widens his eyes and glances up at Fizz. “I used those powers again?”

“Uh...have you used them before?” Fizz asks.

Husk grabs his head. “Ah, shit! He’s going to find me and kill me!”

Fizz puts his hands up. “Whoa, hey, calm down.”

“Alastor is going to fuckin’ find me and kill me--”

“He won’t--”

“How would you know? I used his powers. That’s what I get for being on a leash,” Husk says with a gruff.

Fizz softens his gaze and notices Ozzie and Mammon storming into the room where they are.

“You can’t possibly have lost the book!” Ozzie responds angrily, his blue flame turns red angrily.

“I didn’t think there’s going to be souls wanting to get out of the greed chains. A lot of them didn’t want to get out,” Mammon responds with his hands on his hips. He ponders for a moment. “Maybe I gave it away.”

“You gave away that of all things!”

“What?!” Mammon shouts. “It’s not like I thought I was going to use it in advance! Why are you gettin’ onto me about helping your lower-class friend?! Didn’t you just admit that you love your little sex imp in public--?!”

“You don’t fucking talk about Fizz like that, you bastard!” Ozzie growls, his head turning more red.

“Oz--” Fizz utters his boyfriend’s name.

“No, he doesn’t have any right to talk about you like that,” Ozzie responds to Fizz and then turns his glare to Mammon. “Husk beat your games fair and square--”

“He used fuckin’ magic--!”

“It’s not magic! It’s a part of him!” Ozzie argues with Mammon.

“I gave the fucking book away to Belphegor probably!” Mammon blurts out.

“Are you kidding me?!”

“I ain’t pullin’ your leg, mate!” Mammon growls. “Maybe Belphegor has it! I don’t fucking know!”

“Will you bitches quit yellin’?! It’s hurting my head!” Husk snarls, holding his headache.

“Well, if you haven’t killed my best fighter, we wouldn’t be in this mess!” Mammon barks at Husk. “Besides, you’re supposed to beat them up until they’re ‘close’ to being dead. Not kill them like some kind of maniac!”

“Says the maniac using Froggie’s body as a sex toy!” Ozzie growls at Mammon.

The green smoke appears around Mammon as his legs grow under him. Ozzie grows bigger, his head glowing red.

“Oh, you want to fucking go, mate?!” Mammon snarls at Ozzie.

“Bring it, bitch!” Ozzie yells.

Mammon charges at Ozzie, tackling him against the wall. Ozzie wrestles him onto the floor, attempting to put him in a chokehold, but Mammon uses one of his legs to bring Ozzie over his fat body.

Fizz and Husk watch the fight unfold while Husk appears more irritated and Fizz appears more concern about Ozzie.

Husk groans. “WILL YOU TWO FUCKERS QUIT FIGHTING?!”

Ozzie and Mammon stop their fighting, noticing Husk’s eyes turning green slightly before it fades away.

“Whoa, fuck, don’t summon those tentacles again,” Mammon responds, backing away from Ozzie.

“Yeah, let’s not kill anyone else tonight,” Ozzie adds.

Husk blinks and rubs his head. “Ugh, what the fuck is wrong with me? I can’t think straight.”

“That’s because you’re not straight,” Fizz quips back innocently.

“I don’t mean it like that,” Husk responds, blushing. He groans and looks up at Mammon. “You gave the book away to Belphegor, right?”

“Yep, the queen of the Sloth ring,” Mammon answers with a grin.

“Let’s go there,” Husk responds.

Fizz clenches his teeth. “Yeah, about the Sloth ring, just a heads up. Don’t take pills, otherwise, you’d be asleep for a long while. I’ve done that before.”

“I’m not planning to,” Husk replies.

“Thanks for all of your useless help, Mammon,” Ozzie growls. “Enjoy your lousy knock-offs.”

Mammon growls as Ozzie, Fizz, and Husk start to walk away from him. An idea comes into his head as he catches up with them. “You know, since I might not know the way to break the chains from greed, it’s good if I learned by going with you guys.”

“Nuh-uh, there ain’t no way an asshole like you is coming with us--”

“Look, Ozzie, mate, I know Belphegor personally. Her and her husband, Sid. Trust me, we three go way back,” Mammon states. “You ain’t gettin’ in the Sloth Ring unless I tag along.”

Ozzie growls at Mammon.

“Uh...sure, I guess,” Husk says before Ozzie can say no to Mammon.

“YES!” Mammon replies happily. “Maybe next time, I might know more about this whole soul chains situation. As Ozzie promotes in his own ring, it’s all about the exploring, ain’t it?”

“In sex, Mammon. I meant in sex,” Ozzie responds with a deadpan tone.

“C’mon, I promise I won’t hurt your cyborg slut--”

“Call Froggie that again one more time--”

“Oz, it’s okay.”

Ozzie glances down to see Fizz rubbing his arm up and down. He picks Fizz up on his shoulder and glares at Mammon. “As long as you don’t make any derogatory comments against Fizz, you can come with us.”

“Okay. Okay, yeesh. Sooo protective,” Mammon teases Ozzie as he walks with the others to the exit.

“Fuck you,” Ozzie snarls.

~.~

“And here we are!!” Mammon announces, showing off the Sloth Ring of purple surroundings.

The others walk through the ring, noticing everyone sleeping as if they’re dead.

“Are they dead?” Husk questions.

“Some are,” Mammon answers with a shrug. “You can never tell sometimes.”

Fizz shivers and scoots closer to his boyfriend’s head. Ozzie notices this and rubs Fizz’s shoulder in reassurance.

Mammon leads them to the pharmacy of Belphegor.

“Look, I understand that. We all need a day...or days to sleep in. That’s why I recommend these sleeping pills.”

The others enter the pharmacy watching the tall slender figure wearing black clothing and dress, pink eyes staring at her clients. She has a cape with pink stars on the inside of it. Her tail flicks at the sound of other customers coming in. She looks behind her current customer to notice Mammon, Ozzie, Husk, and Fizz. She then glances at her current customer and gave him a couple of sleeping pills.

“Here, these will let you sleep in,” She responds, letting the customer walk away. “Have a fantastic lazy day.” She glances up to see Mammon. “Mammon, what brings you here with--Ozzie? I thought you hate the guy--”

“Oh, don’t worry, I still do,” Mammon replies, causing Ozzie to throw a glare at him. “How’s your hubby, Belphegor--?”

“You can fuck him now. We’re divorced,” Belphegor answers carelessly.

“Yes!” Mammon reacts with a grin before pretending to be in distress about the divorce. “I mean, oh no--”

“It’s fine,” Belphegor replies while waving it off. She notices Husk and leans forward. “Hey, I haven’t seen you around before. Would you like some sleeping pills?”

“Uh--” Husk looks up to see Ozzie and Fizz motioning him to not accept the offer. He smiles nervously. “No thanks. I’m good.”

Belphegor huffs in disappointment. “Whatever you say.”

“Look, we’re here because Mammon here gave you the book that, you know, shows how to break the chains from the greed ring,” Ozzie responds.

“Hmm, he did. But I don’t know where it is. You might want to check with Sid since he’s got all the books since we divorced,” Belphegor replies with a careless shrug.

Mammon claps his hands giddily. “I know where he is. C’mon, I’ll show you!”

Mammon exits the pharmacy a little too excitedly. Ozzie, Fizz, and Husk exchange glances in confusion before shrugging and following Mammon out of the pharmacy.

Mammon shows Ozzie, Fizz, and Husk the library across from the pharmacy.

“So, this is where Sid lives,” Ozzie assumes.

“Yep! Sid loves reading so much. You are going to have to go into the library to spend time with him. It’s about time that he’s divorced with that cunt,” Mammon responds a little too excitedly. He enters the library as the three others following him had their eyes wide in shock at all the books around them. They notice a giant sloth-like demon, sitting with his used purple shirt with tan suit pants.

Mammon hurries up to Sid and taps on the desk to get his attention. “Hey, Siddy, how are ya doing, mate?!”

Sid looks at Mammon, blue eyes flickering. “I...am...doing...good.”

“Oh geez,” Ozzie mutters to himself to hear Sid’s slow speech.

“How...are...you...doing?” Sid asks in a slow manner.

“Doing good. Doing good. Soooo, do you have any plans tonight~?” Mammon asks with a flirty smirk.

“No--”

“Oh, that’s good--”

“--I...don’t,” Sid finishes his sentence, interrupting Ozzie.

Husk sighs deeply. “Look, we’re looking for the book that will help me break out of the chains from the Radio Demon. Can you help us?”

Sid blinks slowly. “I...don’t...know--”

“You don’t know if you can help us--?”

“--where...the...book...is--” Sid continues his sentence, interrupting Husk’s.

“Just let him finish, mate,” Mammon whispers to Husk.

“--let...me...go.......look,” Sid responds as he turns inch by inch to look through the books.

Ozzie and Fizz watch in discomfort while Mammon stares at him lovingly. Sid slowly reaches his fingers and drag across the book so slowly.

After two hours of Sid searching through the book titles, Sid sits back down at a snail’s book.

“Sorry...I...can’t...find...the...book,” Sid replies.

“Did you guys give it away to someone else?” Ozzie asks.

“I...must’ve...given it...away...to...Zelus,” Sid responds.

“Seriously?” Ozzie groans to himself.

“Do you know how to get someone out of the chains of the Radio Demon at least?” Fizz asks Sid.

Sid blinks slowly. “I...can...write...it...down...if...that...helps--”

Husk sighs in relief. “That would be wonderful--”

“--you...with...getting...out...of...the...chains...of...the...Radio...Demon,” Sid finishes his sentence, interrupting Husk again.

Husk starts getting annoyed.

Sid takes out a piece of paper and pen slowly. He starts to write something, but no one could read it since he writes slower than a snail.

Mammon looks at how impatient everyone else in the room is. He smirks and looks at Sid when Sid’s hand drifts in the middle of the page.

“Hey, Siddy, wanna hear a joke?” Mammon asks.

“NO!” Ozzie, Fizz, and Husk shouts at Mammon simultaneously.

“Sure,” Sid answers as he stops writing to hear the joke.

Mammon smirks. “Okay, okay, listen, why is Cinderella so bad at soccer?”

“I...do...not...know. Why...is---”

“Cinderella,” Husk groans to try to speed up the speech.

“---Cinderella...so...bad...at...soccer?” Sid finishes his question.

Mammon snickers. “Cause she keeps running away from the ball! Hahaha!!”

Fizz looks at Mammon with a judging gaze. “That’s one of the corniest jokes I ever heard you say.”

The others look to see Sid’s face slowly stretch into a slow laughter, his nails tapping on the desk ever so slowly.

Ozzie laughs a tiny bit. “Ha Ha, yes, it’s funny. Um, can you--?”

Sid slowly takes out the microphone.

“Wait, what are you doing?” Husk utters.

Sid taps on the microphone slowly and announces throughout the Sloth Ring. “Joke...of...the...day. Why...is...Cinderella--”

“Oh no,” Fizz utters in horror.

“--so...bad--”

Husk clenches his teeth. “Because she keeps running from the ball, we get it, hahaha--”

“--at...soccer?” Sid finishes his question while Husk groans from getting interrupted.

~.~

Sid is finally done writing two hours later after telling one of Mammon’s horrible jokes. He slowly gives the paper to Husk, who snatches it.

“Thanks for nothing,” Husk grumbles and storms out of the library.

Ozzie and Fizz follow Husk while Mammon waves Sid goodbye.

“See you later, Siddy boy,” Mammon bids goodbye happily, blowing flirty kisses at Sid.

Sid is left alone, a blush slowly growing on his face.

Meanwhile, Husk looks at the piece of paper to see another language on it in Danish.

“Du er kneppet,” Husk reads aloud while Fizz and Ozzie look over his shoulders to read it.

“Oh, that’s Danish,” Mammon replies immediately. Then he giggles. “Ha, classic Sid.”

“Why would he write shit in Danish?” Fizz questions.

Mammon shrugs his shoulders. “Sid’s fluent in Danish. Which I know someone from the Envy ring that can translate that.”

“Not Zelus,” Ozzie groans.

“Yes...Zelus,” Mammon responds excitedly. “C’mon, he can translate all the languages of the living world. Even the dead ones.”

Ozzie groans at the thought for a moment. “Fine, but he’s not taking Fizz.”

“Aw, come off of it now. Sid says he gives the book to Zelus if any of you fucks paid attention to what he says instead of interrupting him,” Mammon responds coldly. “Now come on. Let’s go!”

~.~

The four reach the Envy ring, which is full of tall towers competing to reach the sky. They manage to reach to the top building where the tall, lanky teal-colored demon reads through the books. The demon is muttering some things to himself, letting the gang assumed that it’s Zelus, the ruler of the Envy ring.

“Hey, Zelly!” Mammon announces, scaring Zelus from his studies. “How have you been?”

“Hey, man, I’ve been studying up the storm. I need to know this more than that janitor guy downstairs. Tch! He claims to know so much more about the Ancient Chinese culture than me. That fucker,” Zelus responds with a scoff.

Ozzie sighs heavily at Zelus.

“Oh, hey, Ozzie. How are your sales?” Zelus asks, fidgeting his hands.

“Better than yours,” Ozzie replies with sneer.

“Fuck you,” Zelus growls.

Fizz looks up at Ozzie. “Are you guys not best friends?”

“No, he tries to take stuff from me--”

“That’s because you’re always better than me,” Zelus whines like a younger sibling.

“You try to take shit from me. I ain’t lettin’ you!” Ozzie growls.

Zelus notices Husk and shape-shifts into Husk. “Huh, too old.” He shape-shifts back to himself and then looks at Fizz.

Ozzie pulls Fizz behind him. “And you’re not taking my boyfriend.”

Zelus scoffs. “You love that thing?”

“That’s what I’m sayin’--” Mammon realizes Ozzie’s glare at him.

“Do you want me to fucking kill you both?” Ozzie snarls at both Mammon and Zelus.

Husk sighs tiredly and shows the piece of paper. “Look, Sid said that he gave the book to you.”

“What book?” Zelus asks.

“The book that tells us how to get out of the greed chain and out of the hold of the Radio Demon. Do you have it?” Husk questions.

“Uuuh, no. I gave it to Mal,” Zelus points out.

“You gave it to Mal?!” Both Mammon and Ozzie gasps in shock.

“Yeah,” Zelus responds.

“You idiot, you know she burns books when she gets angry!” Ozzie barks.

“That’s why I gave it to her. I didn’t think I was going to need it,” Zelus responds. “You might be lucky to still find it unburnt.”

“Well, can you at least translate this? It might answer to how Husk can get out of the chains of the Radio Demon,” Fizz asks, taking the piece of paper out of Husk’s hands and give it to Zelus. Zelus puts on his glasses and reads the paper.

“It appears to be in Danish,” Zelus observes while reading the words. Then he looks up at the group with a deadpan expression. “You’re fucked.”

“What?” Husk questions.

“Yeah, Du er kneppet translates to you’re fucked,” Zelus responds.

Mammon’s laughter echoes in the room. “Ah, classic Sid!”

Ozzie groans and takes the others out of the office. “Well, thank you for the translating that for us.”

Mammon is laughing on his way out of Zelus’ office.

~.~

The group reaches the Wrath Ring in the hopes that they would find the book not burned at all. The buildings in Wrath ring appears to be in ruin with angry demons burning down buildings and killing each other.

Husk shivers from the sight while Fizz keeps close Ozzie, who puts a protective arm around him. As they enter the main ruined building, they reach the top floor where they see two imps running from the fire.

“¡Ustedes, malditos idiotas, pueden hacer bien su maldito trabajo!(You fucking idiots can’t do your damn job right!)” they hear an angry female voice yelling in Spanish down the hallway. A short petite woman of five foot five, charcoal hair lit on fire from the anger. Her red shirt glimmers under her open black hoodie, sneakers showing colors from her anger. This woman is assumed to be named Mal.

“Uh, you talk to her, mate,” Mammon responds while pushing Husk towards her.

Husk gulps and then speaks to her in Spanish. “Hola, mi nombre es Husk y me preguntaba si tienes el libro que me ayudaría a romper las cadenas de la codicia o liberarme del control del Radio Demon.(Hello, my name is Husk and I was wondering if you have the book that would break me out of these chains or free myself from the control of the Radio Demon).”

“I can speak English too, fuckhead,” Mal grumbles angrily.

Husk twitches his ears from her rudeness, now more gruff with his tone. “Do you have the book that can help me break the chains out of greed or liberate me from the Radio Demon?”

Mal rolls her eyes irritably. “Yeah. C’mon in.”

The four men follow her in her office. She looks around her small library of burnt books.

“Ah, there it is,” Mal states as she slams the book on her desk, covered in charcoal and pages burnt up.

“Shit,” Fizz curses to himself.

“This is why we don’t trust you with books,” Ozzie responds to Mal.

“It’s not like I want to burn the fucking books,” Mal growls, her eyes lit up in anger.

Husk flips through the pages, no pages saved except there’s one word that is not touch by the fire. He squints a bit to see it.

“Selflessness.”

“Selflessness?” Husk responds, letting the word sink in. “I’ve been doing nothing but selfless acts! Why aren’t the chains breaking?!”

“Aren’t you tied to the Radio Demon?” Mal asks Husk.

“Yeah,” Husk answers.

“Then, you’re fucked. Alastor is tied to someone down here. As long as Alastor is tied, you can’t get out of your chains unless he breaks through his own first,” Mal responds back.

Husk softens his gaze. “Shit.”

He tries not to cry, clenching his teeth. Fizz notices this and rubs Husk’s shoulder to comfort him.

“Fuck,” Husk manages to say sadly.

~.~

Meanwhile, back at Imp City, Angel looks out of the window to look for Husk. Blitzo has been pacing back and forth in the front room while Alastor, Lucifer, and Nifty wait in the front room with Moxxie, Millie, and Loona. Loona plays with her phone while Moxxie fiddles with his rifles.

“So, when is Charlie gonna get back here?” Nifty asks out of boredom.

“Probably never, dear,” Alastor responds sarcastically.

“She’ll be back. Demons don’t last long up in Heaven,” Lucifer adds with his hands behind his back.

Angel approaches his group from pacing around the room. “Has anyone heard from Husk?”

“Uh, I’m sure he’s with Fizz and maybe Ozzie,” Blitzo responds.

“Should you give them a call?” Angel asks Blitzo worriedly.

“Hold on, I got Ozzie’s number,” Blitzo replies immediately.

Before Blitzo can dial Ozzie’s number, the bullets crash through the glass. The others duck down immediately.

“What the fuck?!” Blitzo curses. He crouches to the window, careful of the broken glass. He looks down to find a familiar white-haired demon imp with a black fedora hat. “Ah, fuck, Mox, your pops is trying to kill us again.”

“Wait, what?!” Moxxie gasps in shock.

“Your pops?” Lucifer questions.

“Crimson,” Millie growls.

“I know you have this Angel Dust guy along with Lucifer,” Crimson’s voice echoes. “Turn them in. This won’t have to be a fight.”

Angel starts to breathe in anxiety. “Shit. Shit. Shit. Val must’ve sent them after me. Shit! He’s going to kill everyone here.”

“Shh, calm down, kid,” Lucifer shushes Angel. “I’m sure they’re easy to take down.”

“Shit! We’re outnumbered,” Blitzo responds in fear.

“I can take them all out. No problem,” Alastor responds with a manic smile.

“Let me stab him, boss!” Nifty begs.

“Yeah, let’s fucking fight ‘em,” Millie says with determination.

Blitzo breathes heavily. “Alright. But you guys better be ready.”

With that said, Blitzo starts shooting his rifle at the gang. The others sneaks into the elevator while Blitzo distracts them. They go down the elevator and hurry outside. Alastor is the first to step in.

“Hello, you must be Crimson. Pleasure to meet you, good sir. Too bad you’ll die soon,” Alastor replies.

Crimson scoffs at Alastor. “Aim your guns at him.”

“Oh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Alastor snarls while slamming his staff down, black tentacles sprout out of the ground. The I.M.P crew jump behind Alastor to fight alongside with him. Lucifer spreads his wings out, glaring at them with sudden red eyes.

“Don’t fuck with me!” Lucifer growls.

“Dad, this doesn’t have to end this way,” Moxxie responds.

“Don’t even call me Dad,” Crimson growls. “Fire!”

The gang members start firing guns. Millie and Nifty launch into battle as Nifty starts to stab one of the gang members with a knife. Millie notices this and hurries by Nifty.

“Wait, don’t do that,” Millie replies.

Nifty glances up in confusion in her one eye.

Then Millie hands Nifty a large war axe. “Try this instead.”

Nifty takes the short axe and laughs maniacally, slashing the gang members with the weapon given to her.

Loona bites into one of the gang members stomach and shakes him around like a rag doll. Then she charges at the other gang members, breaking their rifles apart with her snout.

Moxxie and Angel sticks together with Angel taking out his tommy guns and firing them. Moxxie fires his rifle, managing to get the gang members with Angel.

Alastor uses his tentacles to stab through the imps before visions flash before his eyes to find that he is being choked by a shark demon until he sees Mammon being held hostage by the tentacles he’s using for battle.

Lucifer notices Alastor is out of it with his vision as he notices someone shooting a bullet at Alastor. “Watch out!”

Lucifer shoulder bumps Alastor, taking the bullet in the shoulder.

Alastor snaps out of it and notices Lucifer on the ground. “Fuck!”

Blitzo catches up with the group. “We’re fucking outnumbered! Run!”

The others start to make a run for it as Millie picks up Nifty. Angel helps Alastor with getting Lucifer up on his feet.

Blitzo watches as Crimson destroys the building that his crew works at. “Oh, shit.”

“Sir, we got to go!” Mox manages to snap Blitzo out of his sadness.

Blitzo is guided away from the chaotic situations, running through the streets of the city.

“We need to head to the Gluttony ring. I know someone from there,” Loona suggests, guiding the group away from the city as Alastor carries injured Lucifer with them.

~.~

“What were you two thinking?” Vaggie scolds both Nora and Bella once they’re outside of Heaven’s gate.

“Cool your jets. They’re just kids,” Cherri reassures Vaggie, carrying a couple boxes of holy bullets and a wooden box of holy grenades.

“That’s no excuse for their behavior,” Vaggie responds firmly.

“It’s not like they can cast us down again,” Nora back-talks Vaggie.

Vaggie groans in frustration. “Alright, that’s it. Bella, don’t spend anymore time with Nora until she behaves better.”

“You’re not my mom,” Nora talks back with a growl.

Vaggie snarls, “Maybe not, but I’m sure your parents will hear all about it.”

“Go ahead, they won’t fucking care,” Nora argues.

Vaggie glances at Bella in Charlie’s arms. “I can’t even believe you went along with this. We thought you can behave better than this!”

Bella lowers her gaze away in shame.

“What were you thinking, Bella?” Vaggie questions. “You can get us banned from Heaven doing shit like that.”

“I’m sorry,” Bella utters tearfully.

“Don’t be hard on the kid,” Cherri responds. “They’re both from Hell, they wouldn’t know any better.”

“Yeah, I was just trying to get Bella to let loose and have fun,” Nora adds.

“Well, that’s something you should’ve done any other day in Hell,” Vaggie growls at Nora.

Charlie stands at the edge of the surface, realizing that the portal isn’t opening. “Guys?”

“What?” Vaggie responds, finally done chewing out the girls until she notices that the portal isn’t opened. “Wait, isn’t your Dad going to open the portal?”

Charlie feels a slight pain on her shoulder as if she’s been shot. But it’s weird. She’s not shot at all. However, she has a feeling that someone else is.

“Dad,” Charlie calls in fear, left at the edge of Heaven’s clouds.

My unorganized thoughts about Hazbin finale because I am feeling all the feelings.

Positives

The songs? Absolute bangers. Both of them. The Chaggie "More Than Anything" reprise got spoiled for me but I still loved it. We stan a supportive couple ready to go to war together. The reprise for "Happy Day in Hell" at the end was a nice touch. Loved that it was Lucifer who picked up the slack to cheer up Charlie. Mans finally becoming the dad who stepped up.

The battle as a whole was awesome. Hot take, but if Adam didn't have the spawn infinite enemies cheat all bad guy armies seem to have in these situations, the Hotel definitely would've won.

I'll admit, I wasn't too jazzed about Sir Pentious replacing Mimzy in the main cast but he kind of redeemed (lol) himself for me this episode. Bro was both one of the funniest and most heartwarming characters in the finale get yourself a man who can do both. The unholy (lol) noises I made when he showed up as a redeemed soul in Heaven. Good for him! He deserves the best. Also I find Sera's and Emily's reactions to the reveal kind of interesting. Emily is overjoyed seeing that Charlie's idea works, but Sera looks... mortified? Disgusted? Kinda tells us which one of these two really deserves the title of Big Good. Side note, but it's kind of funny how the only physical change a redeemed sinner goes through is that their color scheme is now pastel instead of goth.

ADAM FUCKING DIED YESSIRRRRR! GOOD RIDDANCE BITCH NO ONE WILL MISS YOUUUU (Except for Lute, but no one gives a fuck about what Lute thinks, cry harder hoe)

Charlie's and Lucifer's true formssss! Razzle and Dazzle getting to be badassss! (R.I.P. Dazzle, hope you somehow end up in Heaven too)

Alastor Vs Adam. Cool fight, surprisingly not as one-sided as one might've thought. I mean, Alastor still lost but he lasted a lot longer than most of the others who fought against Adam (Poor Sir Pen)

Vaggie and Lute rematch, I fucking called ittttt!

Seeing everyone gear up and fight for the Hotel was cool, seeing so many Exorcists get axed off was cathartic as fuck.

Lute losing a part of her body because of Vaggie, just like she took a part of Vaggie's body was *chef's kiss*.

Lucifer Vs Adam and Lucifer just... not taking the fight seriously at all until Charlie almost gets hurt. He was really just toying with Adam for the entire first half and when he started getting serious Adam got trashed so fucking quick, I love it.

Charlie fucking shanking Adam and stopping his punch Just Like That. I lover her, she's such a badass. Sure wish we could've seen more of that (foreshadowinggg)

Vox acting as the greek chorus for the events of the episode works surprisingly well. Ngl I thought his constant commentary would get annoying really fast if they kept cutting away from the action just so he can say a funny. But no, they actually managed to time it pretty well. Props to Adam Stein (writer for this episode).

The Negatives (Yes, They Exist)

The other Vees did not need to be here. Seriously, we're starting off with Vox alone in his control room and we could've stayed there. Velvette and Valentino didn't even talk for the majority of the episode. And I'm not a fan of how Val continues to be played for comedy. Unfriendly reminder that this man is a r*pist and an abuser. If you needed a V for the funnies, Velvette and Vox are quite literally right there. (Can you believe Velvette had no lines this episode but fucking Val had both a speaking role and a not insignificant part of the ending song? Weak.) You can still have the ending scene of the Vees hanging out and planning after the aborted Extermination, literally nothing changes if you cut Val and Velvette from the cutaway gags.

Not a fan of how Lucifer stole the spotlight. "But you said you liked the Adam Vs Lucifer fight-" Yeah, I did. Doesn't change that this shouldn't have been Luci's fight, it should have been Charlie's. We've had hints this whole season that Charlie is actually way stronger and wrathful than anyone thinks and that she's actively working to keep up her cheerful and friendly persona. Her stabbing Adam with her trident was a nice start, but after Lute killed Dazzle and seriously endangered Vaggie, this should've been the moment Charlie decided "Alright that's it, no more Miss Nice Girl, I didn't want this to end in bloodshed but these assholes are going down." This should've been the moment where the gloves come off. How much more impactful would it be if Charlie was the one beating down Adam but stopping before killing him? If the show made it clear Charlie could murder this asshole, but she doesn't, because she's still better than he ever will be. What a way to show that Charlie truly does believe in the good in everyone or at least still believes in non-lethal solutions to the conflict between Heaven and Hell! But nope, Charlie gets two badass moments, then is banished to the side-lines and to the role of damsel Lucifer has to save and who has to be the metaphorical angel on Lucifer's shoulder who stops him from offing Adam (for some reason). If we needed to get Lucifer involved, maybe have him show up earlier to help the Hotel but get hurt somehow, forcing and motivating Charlie to step up as the future ruler of Hell. Speaking of-

Why the fuck was Lucifer so late to the fight??? Yeah yeah, I know, depressed shut-in, but in "More Than Anything" he literally calls Charlie "the only thing worth fighting for" in Hell. He knew the Extermination was coming. Yeah, maybe Charlie didn't tell him that the trial in Heaven went south and that Adam's Exorcists were going to target the Hazbin Hotel, but you'd think he'd have noticed something was up??? More importantly, if he really wanted to support Charlie's dream of saving the sinners in Hell, why didn't he take part in the battle from the start??? Why didn't Charlie ask him to fight alongside her??? Yeah, Charlie is reluctant to ask Lucifer for anything because they don't have the best relationship, but we've had an entire fucking episode of them growing closer and Lucifer assuring Charlie he'd help her. And this wasn't just a matter of pride, Charlie's friends and her girlfriend were in danger of getting killed, you're telling me she'd choose her own hang-up over all of them??? "But if Lucifer was there, the fight would've been over too quick-" refer to the previous point. Angels can be hurt and killed by angelic weaponry, there were like over a hundred Exorcists on that battlefield and don't tell me Adam would be above fighting dirty by attacking while Lucifer is distracted. There. Easy way to take Lucifer out of the fight and make way for Charlie.

Not a fan of how Cherri Bomb x Sir Pentious was bullrushed in this last episode. Yeah, we established Pentious likes her, but Cherri had like no interest in him until Angel commented he might have two dicks. Which, I guess her being after a purely physical relationship could work, but we all know that's not what Pentious wants. Their "romance" gives "He Was a Boy She Was a Girl" vibes. Like Velvette and Valentino, nothing in the episode would've been lost if that particular plot-line was dropped.

"The future of Hell belongs to the Vees" Yeah but does it though? Does it? Sorry, but I'm having a hard time taking these three seriously as a threat. Vox got effortlessly trounced by Alastor (and contrary to what the Vees believe he isn't missing, he came back), Velvette talked a big game about fighting the Exorcists but then did absolutely nothing and Val would eat dirt so fast against anyone who can actually fight back. Plus "Overlords hanging by a thread"? Which Overlords, exactly? Alastor? He's not dead and like previously stated, he's not 'missing'. Rosie, Carmilla, Zestial and the rest of the Overlords are just fine, the Extermination was centered around the Hazbin Hotel this time, no other turf even got scratched. "Nature abhors a power vacuum" What power vacuum? Again, no Overlords even died! No territory outside the hotel was destroyed! Are they just on a high from Alastor's supposed disappearance? I hope that's it, because otherwise damn, you three fucking suck at being Overlords.

Hazbin Hotel Music Ranking

Wooo, ranking time! I'll rank the episodes in a different post lol

Forgive me, I'm gonna use the knowledge that I grabbed from my dropped music minor (aka lots of music nerd talk)

I'm also gonna put out what I think each of these songs were based off of in the context of theater (my opinion, not fact in the slightest)

Happy Day in Hell (7/10)

(Based on all Broadway openers ever)

The "opening number" for the show, and Charlie's "I want" song, I think it's pretty strong. It gives the audience a great way to see the pride ring as well as locations that we are going to see later in the season. The only two things that bring it down for me is the weirdly abrupt time change to a triple meter (from what I can count the song goes from like a 4/4 to what seems like a 6/8) that feels like an unintentional whiplash effect, and the brain lyric seems a bit out of place from the rest of the song. Other than that, solid opener

Hell is Forever (9/10)

(Based on rock musical numbers, such as Fright of Their Lives from Beetlejuice)

I'm not usually a fan of rock style musical numbers, but Alex Brightman's performance knocked this number out of the park. This number also gives a great insight on how not all of Heaven is actually nice, especially in terms of their views on sinners.

Also, when the music drops out and it's just clapping sent chills down my spine, I freakn love when numbers do that

Alex, your Beetlejuice is showing-

Stayed Gone (10/10)

(Based on villain duets and talk singing, such as Master of the House from Les Miserables and Your Fault/Last Midnight from Into The Woods)

My absolute favorite number in the entire first season hands down. Vox and Alastor being petty to the max is my bread and butter. Also, the fact that this number highlights the real world thoughts of radio vs T.V./streaming is so freakn cool (saying this as a mass comm major who deals with both of these lmao).

Alastor's solo at the end is so terrifying, but uuuuugh Amir does such a wonderful job with balancing petty with sheer sadistic evil.

It Starts with Sorry (8/10)

(Based on "apology" numbers, like 'Til Him from The Producers)

This is such a cute number, especially as it's the start of Sir Pentious' redemption arc. I feel like lots of people need to listen to this song.

Respectless (8/10)

(Based on "dueling genres" such as Feed Me/Git It from Little Shop of Horrors)

I love Velvette so much here. The way that she takes control of the situation by carefully observing Carmilla while also being a #bitch was such a clever use of show don't tell. Zestial's little lyric is also smart, and a nice foreshadowing nod to episode 7. Also, I didn't think that Latin-style music mixed with hip-hop/rap would gel so nicely here.

Whatever It Takes (3/10)

(Based on power ballads such as Memory from Cats)

As I alluded to in my deconstruction of transitioning musical numbers post, this is my least favorite musical number by a landslide. I really don't like how loud Zestial's solo is (no shade at James Monroe Iglehart, I think this was the music director's choice and not his own), especially when the context is that this is a private conversation between him, Carmilla, and her daughters. Honestly, the volume becomes a consistant issue when the electric guitar riff comes in and Carmilla becomes super loud. When it's Vaggie's solo, the instrumentation feels so out of place for her as she's singing quietly. When the two come together, Vaggie is completely smothered by how loud Carmilla is singing (doesn't help that Vaggie is singing a high-ish soprano part. Carmilla is belting out the alto part with her chest voice, which is easily overpowering Vaggie belting with her head voice).

I think the kicker to the whole number is that in the context of the show at that point, Vaggie and Carmilla haven't truly met face to face, and we the audience have not known Carmilla long enough to realize that she and Vaggie have a lot in common. I do get that this number is a set up for episode 7 (which we'll get to that in a minute), but we needed just a bit more time to get to know Carmilla on a personal level as well as Vaggie to understand why they both sang this number "together"

I also dislike power ballads, and this one really did not win me over

Poison (10/10)

(Based on pop song "video" numbers, such All You Want to Do from Six)

Man, this song hits deep, especially the ending. This is a really great way of both showing and telling Angel's life before and while at the hotel when he's working for Valentino. The ending hits the hardest with him wanting an out, but he feels like he has no power nor will to leave. It's both a super catching song, and a very deep song when you understand the full context of it.

Loser, Baby (10/10)

(Based on friend number duets and "cheer up" numbers such as You're the Top and Be Like The Bluebird from Anything Goes)

This is my second favorite of the bunch. Husker spitting facts instead of sugar coating Angel's situation is such a true friend thing to do, and like with It Starts with Sorry, more people need to listen to this song. Both Angel and Husk admitting and embracing their faults is so nice to see, especially as they become closer friends after that song.

This song also has so many chromatic intervals that I love so freakn muuuch, Andrew and Sam did so good with writing this one.

Hell's Greatest Dad (9/10)

(Based on "competing" numbers such as Pirelli's Miracle Elixir from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)

The return of petty Alastor duet! With Hell's leader no less! This song's lyrics is really clever with showing that Lucifer- while he means well- doesn't actually know how to speak to his daughter, while Alastor is able to manipulate the situation by showing that he was indeed with the hotel since day one and essentially getting Charlie on his side since her dad has done really nothing aside from letting Charlie go to that meeting with Heaven a while back. The second half of the song really hits with the blood family vs found family argument, and it's a very interesting conflict idea for Charlie.

Devil Went Down to Georgia vs Piano Man made me cackle like a maniac.

When Mimzy interupts, I actually hated it when I first watched it. After rewatching the episode, I freakn love her interruption. That woman just saved the hotel from an all out brawl that was fixing to explode.

More Than Anything (8/10)

(Based on family duets like Happy/Sad from The Addams Family)

I'm kinda topsy-turvy about this song. Like the beginning kinda doesn't do it for me, probably because it is a slow start. When Charlie and Lucifer begin their duet, I almost thought for half a second that the writers were gonna pull a "they thought they were thinking the same thing but they actually don't" trope (I was thinking that Lucifer was thinking that Charlie was going to shut down the hotel after talking to him about his failed attempt, while Charlie was thinking that Lucifer was on board with the hotel idea). I'm super glad that they didn't do this trope at all, and the harmony between the father and daughter is just so nice to hear, gave me chills.

Welcome to Heaven (7/10)

(Based on "cheery" openers, such as Hello from The Book of Mormon)

The companion to Happy Day in Hell, this is more pop/contemporary style than Broadway, which is a nice genre to go against it (you could argue that it's new-age music vs old theater music). The way the music guides us along to how "great" Heaven is compared to Happy Day in Hell's was of showing how Hell can improve was such a nice subtle comparison. It's a cute intro song for Heaven.

You Didn't Know (9/10)

(Based on "realization" numbers like Defying Gravity from Wicked)

Ah, the revelation song. I do love the reprise of Hell is Forever, especially the change in lyrics to reflect what Heaven and Hell really is: shades of grey. I do wish that Emily's realization of the extermination was explored longer, even before the song (like Emily was becoming suspicious of Sera's actions).

Adam and Lute revealing Vaggie to Charlie had such a nice horror chord to it, I just don't like the still they used for Charlie (it looked rather silly to me)

Out for Love (8/10)

(Based on "motivation" numbers such as The More You Ruv Someone from Avenue Q)

The better version of Whatever It Takes, very catchy and has a nice message. Buuuut what still drags it down is that Carmilla and Vaggie's relationship was never built up (especially with Carmilla insinuating that she has met Vaggie before and realized that she's a fallen angel long before Charlie did).

The dropbeat did save this one tho.

Ready for This (10/10)

(Based off of "rally" numbers, such as Sister Suffragette from Mary Poppins)

I love a good rally song, especially since this song was hyped up before the episode was dropped. Charlie's worry that she'll fail her people is nicely sutible, but is prominent throughout the song, even with her brave face.

The musical references to older Broadway shows (mainly Rogers and Hammerstein, the Sherman brothers, Cole Porter, etc) gave my brain a nice scratch that I didn't know I needed.

Alastor and Rosie's duet is by far my favorite part of the song, especially because it's in a minor key to remind us that Alastor still has a sinister motive behind his decisions, with Rosie on board with it.

More Than Anything Reprise (8/10)

(Based on quiet "reprise" numbers, such as Proud of Your Boy Reprise from Aladdin)

Oh thank god, a quiet ballad at last. Ngl, all the ballads up to this point have been rather loud, so it's nice to have a quiet ballad that is also is shared between Charlie and Vaggie. Those harmonies got me to almost cry on the first viewing as Vaggie is reassuring Charlie that everything will be fine, even in the face of angelic death.

Finale (9/10)

(Based on all Broadway finale numbers ever)

Man, what a true Broadway closure. Charlie mourning Sir Pentious' death, Lucifer and the gang comforting her and raising her up by helping her rebuild the hotel, the Vee's trio, Alastor's solo, and the reprise of Happy Day in Hell melds so well.

Alastor's solo especially is so chilling compared to the rest of the upbeat song foreshadowing possibly his fate for later on? But it still doesn't deter the song in the slightest. The melody and the culmination of Happy Day in Hell is a wonderful send off to the first season!

All in all, almost all these song are full blown bangers! I can't wait for season 2's album to see what they do next!

#d chats #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #hazbin hotel season 1 #there's a better example for hell's greatest dad #i just cant think of it atm for some weird ass reason #anyway i love hazbin's album for the season

Australia Wildfire Relief Charity Stream!

Hi people. Last night the crew accomplished something amazing. More than 30k dollars will be donated to help the Australia wildlife affected by the fires. Thank you so much to the people who donated! Viv gave good pieces of information to the ones who donated and by getting to 25k and later to 30k she rewarded the fans with the real names of two of the protagonists. Here is the list of facts she said, enjoy.

1. The song that sounds for a couple of seconds when Alastor spins Charlie is Put it on the Ritz from Fred Astaire

2. Dealmakers are a group of sinners in hell. They have a lot of power because they deal with souls. Is not recommended to be near them.

3. Why vaggie is in hell? That’s spoilers

4. The Goat bois Razze and Dazzle would like or dislike someone depending on Charlie’s attitude. They would get along with people Charlie likes (eg. Vaggie) and in the same way they wouldn’t get along with people Charlie hates.

5. The Headcanon voice for Rosie would be Barbara Streisand in Hello Dolly, because she is an adult lady but with the voice of a young woman.

6. Alastor’s is a “food snob” which means he is a perfectionist in the kitchen. If Gordon Ramsay would be in hell they would get along very well.

7. Angel likes to cook, he has low standards for drugs but high ones about food.

8. The songs of the pilot can’t be on Spotify because is a huge process to put them there and viv is busy at the moment. Also the songs doesn’t have an extended version, what we hear in the pilot is all that is.

9. Viv doesn’t think Alastor sleeps, but if he does, he would probably be in the corner of the room with his eyes open.

10. Vox is very manipulative and an attention seeker

11. Valentino has a lot of staffs. He constantly brakes them on people heads so he has to replace them a lot.

12. A headcanon voice for Vox would be the one of Mark Hamill

13. Vox watch Tv game shows, he likes commercials too.

14. Angels watch soaps operas and trash realities to judge and roast the contestants

15. How vaggie and Charlie meet? That’s spoilers

16. In future episodes we will get to know how Alastor got so powerful

17. Vox is almost as tall as Alastor

18. Viv doesn’t like the Hazbin wiki and says the information there is wrong. According to her, most of the info in that webpage is very old, incorrect or just assumptions. So she recommends the fans not to take the wiki’s info as canon.

19. Alastor is like 7 feet tall and Angel 9, they are really big. (She still doesn’t have a size chart but I guess with those confirmed heights someone could calculate the other’s)

20. There will be a husk plushie? In this moment they are making new plushies and new merchandise of Helluva, but because plushies are expensive, is necessary to do only characters on demand and Viv doesn’t know how many people would be interested in buying a Husk plushie.

21. Arackniss would be redesigned when he appears in the show alongside with other old characters of Viv that could appear in Hazbin.

22. Velvet is a trendy stylish social media sinner and she gets along with Vox because they like technology and they try to know the most about technology advances. Something that separates them from Alastor because he doesn’t like those new artifacts at all.

23. Velvet is really good at making food and potions

24. Stolas is a born in hell demon and he is “a different level of demon”. Something that will be explored in Helluva.

25. Viv likes the fanon human version of Alastor. She says is very accurate because human Alastor would never have the same hairstyle he has now as a demon

26. Viv doesn’t want the Voice Actors of her shows “to double up” (one VA making the voice of two or more characters), she likes every character to have their own VA, with the clear exception of background characters. Because of this, there could be a new voice actor for Millie, while Erika would stay as the voice of Loona.

27. After some thinking, Viv has decided for Cherri to be Australian.

28. Viv would prefer a movie instead of a videogame about Hazbin.

29. Angel can play the accordion and other instruments but…not very well

30. Husk can play the sax.

31. Vox and Velvet have real names, most sinners do. They prefer to be called by nicknames in order to leave their past names and human lives behind.

32. Angel Dust real name is Anthony!!!

33. VAGGIE’S REAL NAME IS VAGATHA!!

34. ….Alastor’s real name is Alastor (lol)

35. Al doesn’t like nicknames so he decided to use his real name in hell and not change it (but he must have a last name isn’t it?)

Source

(I want to thank @kiddoryder for helping me in the last lists I have made with some names I dont know about or some phrases I dont understand, thank you!)

#Hazbin Hotel #Helluva Boss #Im learning more about northeamerican culture with Hazbin than my english courses in college lol #sorry if you find some broken english somewhere #my posts

My DEPRESSION BEATING, fandom obsessing, shit-tastic FANTASTIC year in review!

TL;DR: I’m fixing my mental health and figuring out WHO THE FUCK I AM one fandom filled day at a time! Thank you to everyone who’s been there for me along the way. xoxo

what’s up HEATHENS.

stating the goddamn obvious here, it’s been a HELLUVA YEAR. One emotional rollercoaster after another but we’re ALMOST DONE. I know things aren’t gonna magically get better the second it flips to 00:01 on January first, but I’m excited to put this year behind me, and (SHOCKINGLY) a bit sad to see it go.

It was a year where the whole world completely stopped, we realized what is really important, what is really worth fighting for, and took a GODDAMN SECOND to just breathe.

For me personally, the year (which I’m counting off from November 1st) started out UNBELIEVABLY SHIT. I had just been kicked out of the country I called home for the last four years (thank you Brexit), I had ZERO job prospects, my depression was the WORST it had ever been, and I just didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning. And in the beginning, the pandemic felt like salt in the wound, an extra kick in the teeth to my early twenties that had already “failed to launch.”

But I tried to embrace the madness, really take advantage of the world (that I always thought moved to fast) properly slowing down, and take time to try and become myself again. I wanted to figure out what I loved and try and become a bit more like the person I was before my depression got so bad.

I often say I became that Manic Trash Planet Lady™ you see in sci-fi adventure films; a bit zany to say the least, with a million ideas and a very eclectic fashion sense, but embracing the insanity as it comes...

*cough cough* audrey, get to the goddamn point!

Right. lol. THE POINT IS!

I’m not 100% “healed”, I’m not sure if I think depression is a “oh look you’re officially cured! hooray!” type of disease, but this year I let myself ENJOY SHIT for the first time in god knows how long. I still don’t know “wHaT i WaNt To dO WiTh mY LiFe”, but I’ve got a better idea and I’m heading in (what feels like) the right direction. And most of all, I can look back and say I am better than where I was a year ago.

So I wanted to say T H A N K Y O U to the mad lads on this website that introduced me to the fandoms, shows, movies, fics... THE SHIT that made me happy this year and were there to be one (BIG) piece in my healing journey.

AND SO, with out further rambling ADO! Here are the highlights of the year marked by my ridiculous hyper-fixations and OBSESSIONS. Thanks for putting up with me ya fiends, xoxox

November 2019 The Arcana (Visual Novel)

I had just gotten home and I was in a LOOOOOOW place. Randomly decided to download this app when it came up and it proceeded to ruin my life (and my bank account...) for pretty much the rest of the year. It was exactly what I needed to get me through a tough time and I was thoroughly, horse-blinders-up-to-the-rest-of-the-world, OBSESSED. These gorgeous magical fiends ruined me and all I could say was thank you.

Joined the fandom: November 2019 Obsession peaked: Late November Obsession faded: December 2019; I started a new job AND my bank statement came in and I realized I had accidentally spent over SIXTY BUCKS on this stupid app. No ragrets, but I definitely started to phase out at that point. Fandom friends: Velma, (@lanavxds on insta) miss you girlie xx Fanfics you NEED to read: ‘Second Mistake’ by DeathBelle on AO3, because DAAAAAYUM SON. Favourite moments: Basically the whole of the Julian arc. That gangly himbo OWNED my ass for a month.

December 2019 Hazbin Hotel (TV Series)

Y’ALL okay here me out. Am I proud of this one? No. Is the show crass as hell? OOOOOOOOHHHH YEAH. Did my angsty ass love it at the end of last year? DAMN STRAIGHT IT DID. Goes without saying, but this is NOT FOR EVERYBODY, but it definitely helped me along the way to becoming more comfortable with myself and being open about being the massive geek that I always was, and watching things I enjoy regardless of what people say about it.

Joined the fandom: December 2019 Obsession peaked: Shortly there after. Fandom friends: None. Dipped one toe in fandom discourse and then promptly YEETED the fuck outta there. Obsession faded: January 2019. Still curious to see the full series if A24 actually ever does produce the whole thing, but I have def moved away from it. Fanfics you NEED to read: Haven’t read any. Maybe I’m a pussy baby piece-o-shit, but I DID NOT want to go down that rabbit hole, NO MA’AM. Favourite moments:

Discovering the Hunicast podcast. These guys are a riot and Ashley is a flustered GEM. Even if you don’t watch the show, go watch an episode of these fucking LADS just dicking about and your day will get better.

Watching the first episode with my partner and watching him realize his girlfriend is a total freak.

January 2020 Lore Olympus (Webtoon Comic)

*Officially* discovered this one thanksgiving weekend in 2019, but my Arcana phase was still raging pretty strong at that point so I didn’t really get in to it until later. EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER NEEDS TO READ IT. It has everything and handles the reality sexual assault and it’s aftermath EXTREMELY well.

Joined the fandom: Late November 2019 Obsession peaked: January 2020 Fandom friends: KELLEY. MA GIRL XOXOXO Obsession faded: June-ish 2020. I’m like 10 chapters behind now, but I still love this story so much. Fanfics you NEED to read: SO MANY ON MY ‘MARKED FOR LATER’ LIST AAAAAH. I have to get to that... NEW YEARS RESOLUTION lol Favourite moments: Having a drunk conversation on New Years Eve in 2019 with one of my oldest friends from high school about how much she loved it too. Helped me see how popular fandom and fandoms, are especially after feeling like I needed to hide my enthusiasm through high school and uni. (THAT WAS A MISTAKE BUT I’LL GET THERE IN A MINUTE).

February 2020 Versailles (TV Series)

SO FUCKING GAY Y’ALL. Oh my god everyone in this show is so gay. Even when they’re not they still are a little bit. AND BEST OF ALL!! it’s very historically accurate (except for the demon satanic nonsense in season 3, what was that???)

Joined the fandom: February 2020 Obsession peaked: Like??? The SECOND I finished episode one. Fandom friends: none... WHERE ARE ALL OF YOU??? Obsession faded: March 2020. It was a fast and passionate love affair, what can I say? Fanfics you NEED to read: IF YOU HAVE RECS, GIVE ‘EM TO MEEEEE. Favourite moments:

Showing the first episode to a friend of mine and the *ungodly GASP* that came out of her throat was... PRICELESS.

The ENTIRE throuple(???) relationship between the Chevalier, Philipe, and Palatine. PLATONIC/ ROMANTIC LOVE G O A L S.

March 2020 Yuri!!! On Ice (TV Series)

*deep breath* ...y’all knew this one was coming.

Was I ready for this show to ruin my fucking life? No. Am I so glad it happened??? FUCK YEAH.

NEVER IN MY LIFE have I fallen off the deep end so quickly with a fandom. HOLY SHIT. This blog didn’t have much of an “identity” before, but I you said that this is a Yuri On Ice blog now I wouldn’t even be mad (nor could I really defend myself to the contrary... bc??? like??? just go LOOK at my archive). Craziest thing is I watched the first two episodes like?? a solid TWO YEARS ago, but I didn’t continue watching because I was just not in the right head space for all the love and silliness and positivity.

I could do a whole separate post about how much this show and how this fandom has changed my life (DON’T TEMPT ME I JUST MIGHT). But I’ll stick with the highlights for now ;)

Joined the fandom: March 2020 Obsession peaked: Has it peaked?? Went straight up and it still going lol Fandom friends: Sandra, my mentor, my queen @aeriamamaduck, my fandom ride-or-die. Thank you for taking this internet bby under your wing. RACHEL @idancewiththefairies I TRAPPED YOU HERE. MUAHAHAHA xxx Obsession faded: ON GOING. CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP. Fanfics you NEED to read: jfc, SO MANY.

‘Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches’ and ‘Of Bright Stars and Burning Hearts’ by Reiya @kazliin -- Rivals AU companion pieces. Longest fics I’ve ever read and JESUS CHRIST these two fucking SENT ME. Most popular YOI fics on AO3 for a REASON.

‘Tell Me Where Your Love Lies’ by @aeriamamaduck -- Royalty AU, trope-breaking ABO. Ah sweet, TMWYLL, how you’ve killed me over and over again. This BEAUTIFUL wip has SUCH amazing world-building idk where to start (Congrats on passing 50,000 hits!) EVERYONE GO READ IT.

‘Blackbird’ by sixpences -- WWII/Coldwar Spy Fic. I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing this is. It’s elevated to a higher plane beyond fanfic. Just go read it. Thank me later.

‘Zanka’ by rinsled05 @dreaming-fireflies -- The geisha fic that ruined me. *deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH *gasp* I’m fine. lol I sooooo not ready for this fic. Holy hell, Aoyagi had my heart in his hands from the first chapter. “’Please’ [...] ‘Don’t give me hope.’“ FUUUUCK.

‘Echoes’ by Reiya @kazliin -- Future fic. First fic I cried at... BOI. I was NOT ready for this. Shouldn’t be surprised given the author, but MAN. “‘A love like that, a love like what they had together, it never leaves completely.’ Yuri spoke again, eyes still staring out onto the ice, lost in memory. ‘There are always echoes.’” JUST FUCK ME UP.

Favourite moments: Oh good lord, where do I begin??

Having two (count ‘em TWO) main characters with mental health issues (Yuuri and his anxiety and Victor with burn out and depression) and NOT MAKING IT THE ONLY ASPECT OF THEIR PERSONALITY. CLAPS FOR KUBO AND YAMAMOTO!!

Everything about Yurio (ESPECIALLY HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH YUUKO AND HIS GRANDPA), that tsundere motherfucker is too pure for this world.

THE KISS. THE PROPOSAL. MY HEART WASN’T READY. AAAAAH!!

This fandom *properly* introducing me to smut on AO3...

Thinking I was going to get Rachel to like the show... NOT being prepared for her to fall off the deep end and START LIKING REAL SKATING TOO!!

Staying up waaaaaay too late waaaaaay too often to plan out plot points for TMWYLL with Sandra. Love ya dearie.

The warm fuzzy feeling I get every time I think about Victor and Yuuri.

April 2020 Bungou Stray Dogs (TV Series)

I had a hunch I was gonna like this show considering ALL of the characters are based off of famous classic authors from around the world... what I was NOT prepared for was just HOW MUCH I was going to love it. HOLY SHIT. The art style? Love it. The plot?? Bonkers, but so fun. THE VOICE CAST??? AMAZING. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get in to anime, great place to start.

Joined the fandom: April 2020 Obsession peaked: Probably this summer? But we have DEF plateaued in a VERY high place. Fandom friends: FIJI. MA BOIIIII @lil-1nsane Obsession faded: Hasn’t. Hope it doesn’t Fanfics you NEED to read: So so so many. The smut in this fandom is *chef’s kiss*, but here are a few...

‘He Works Hard For the Money’ by CataclysmicEvent @cataclysmicevent2019 -- Sugar Daddy AU. FUCK MAN. I was not expecting to like this one, but bloody hell. This fic grabbed me by the throat and WOULD NOT let me go. Praying for chapter 16! But the author is working on another STELLAR fic so I’m okay for now.

‘Everything or Nothing’ by CataclysmicEvent @cataclysmicevent2019 -- University AU. FUCK THIS FIC. Started reading it as I was waiting for HWHFTM to update and BOI, this fic ROCKS. The alternating POV fits so well with the enemies/idiots-to-lovers vibe. Solid 10 outta 10.

‘The City Where Wind Blows’ by @raven-rein -- Cancer Death fic. *pained shriek* AAAAAAGUUUUUUUHHHH *gasp* aaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, FUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKK MEEEEE. THIS FIC. Only the second fic I’ve ever cried to but I BAWLED MY GODDAMN EYES OUT. FUUUUUUUCK. I was not ready, never would have been ready. This is so tremendously well done, it killed me so beautifully,

‘Haunted by Hatred’ by DeathBelle -- Canon compliant Soukoku. It is a CRIME that DeathBelle doesn’t have more BSD fics on her page, but this one is still brilliant.

Favourite moments:

THE CHUUYA-DAZAI MAFIA REUNION TEAM UP WHEN THEY FIGHT LOVECRAFT. Ooof. BOI. We love it.

The first three episodes. Soooo many break neck plot twists.

Every insane hypothetical conversation with Fiji.

Every time Atsushi or Tanizaki is on screen bc I LOVE THESE LIL BEANS.

June 2020 Trash Taste (Podcast)

Goddamn I love these chaotic lads so much.

As I became more and more comfortable with myself and my love for anime I stumbled upon these three goons, -- Joey, Connor, and Garnt, -- best known for there SUPER successful (mostly) anime YouTube channels. Even if you don’t watch anime, WATCH/LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST. The focus is mostly on their lives and the overall expat/immigrant experience, with a bit of anecdotal anime references sprinkled in.

This show is both wholesome and heathenous in equal measure, and after having lived abroad for a significant portion of my (admittedly still quite short) life, it was such a breath of fresh air to hear people talk so openly about how living outside your home country is both wonderful and terrifying. They’re wonderfully candid about the fact that even if you love a place dearly, no where is perfect, and you WILL hate somethings about your new home even if the majority of the experience is fantastic. I cannot rate this show highly enough.

Joined the fandom: June 5th 2020, loved it from the first episode. Obsession peaked: July maybe? I was RELIGIOUS about watching the episodes as soon as they came out. Still watch every week, but less “on time.” Fandom friends: None :( but I have tricked my partner in to listening several times :) Obsession faded: It’s dimmed from where it was, but still going strong. Fanfics you NEED to read: NONE. NEVER PLAN TO. Hard and fast rule, I don’t read fics about real people. Characters played by real people, even that’s a maybe for me. But real-real people? FUCK NO. (some of my) Favourite moments:

Any time Garnt and Connor get into a big-brain-monkey-brain argument and Joey is just LOSING his GODDAMN MIND in the corner.

Bringing a retired Japanese porn star in the show for an honest conversation about consensual sex work and showing people can have more than one career in life.

Everything about the, ‘Are Online Friends Real Friends?’ episode. GO WATCH IT, it’s brilliant.

Garnt making “chotto-THE-FUCKING-matte” an expression

August 2020 Great Pretender (TV Series)

Spent most of the summer marinating in my BSD and YOI bubbles, until THIS BAD BOI came up on my Netflix recommendations. HOOOO BOI. This is some Anime Of The Year shit right here. Has a pretty original concept (Catch Me If You Can by way of Oceans 11-ish) but generally starts out like most other shounen (sans the super powers). AND THEN EPISODE FIVE HAPPENS. Not gonna spoil it but they TOOK THAT SHIT UP A NOTCH. Brilliant, even with a bit of an insane ending. GO WATCH THIS ONE.

Joined the fandom: August 2020 Obsession peaked: Pretty much as soon as I started watching it. Fandom friends: What’s up Fiji ;) @lil-1nsane Obsession faded: Naturally faded, but so glad I watched Fanfics you NEED to read: None so far! Little scared about this one, heard mixed reviews, but maybe someday. Favourite moments:

Edamame’s “madness arc” at the end of season 2. HOOOO BOY.

Laurent getting fucking WRECKED when Edamame punches him mid way through season 2, kills me every time.

Introducing my partner to anime with this show.

October 2020 Attack on Titan (TV Series)

RETURN OF THE KING. lol

In my quest to find an anime that I can watch with my partner, I turned on season 1 of this bad boi. Holy hell I forgot how much I loved this show, NO WONDER everyone lost their goddamn minds when this show first aired. I NEED to catch up before all the season four spoilers come to get me...

Joined the fandom: Winter 2016 Obsession peaked: Basically as soon as I started watching it. Fandom friends: None yet, but I know you’re out there... Obsession faded: 2017, JUST BEFORE SEASON TWO... I should have stuck around longer I know, but it’s slowly coming back. Reeeeeally need to catch up on seasons two, three, and four. Fanfics you NEED to read: GIVE ME YOUR RECS HEATHENS. Favourite moments:

Watching my partner FREAK OUT about Eren’s “death.”

EVERYTHING ABOUT POTATO GORL! lol

Getting in a conversation with a die hard fan after I hadn’t watched it in three years and saying... “Who’s that blond bitch that cries all the time?”/ “Armin?”/ “THAT’S THE ONE!”

November 2020... kind of. Figure Skating (Sport)

Okay this one is a bit hard to explain.

I have been a DIE HARD figure skating for A LOOOOOONG time. My grandmother got me a hat from the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City and I remember watching even then. But I first became consciously aware of different skaters, my faves, etc. from about 2010. I vividly remember watching Plushenko skating in 2014 while on a school trip to Hawaii, and my friends laughing at me as I yelled at the TV.

But I didn’t TRULY get involved in the fandom side of it until this year. I had all this knowledge bottled up, but didn’t have any skating friends to talk to... UNTIL NOW. Super ironic that this happened in a year with almost NO skating, but I’ll take what I can get ;) Also did I stay up until FOUR-GODDAMN-THIRTY IN THE MORNING a few nights ago to stream Japanese Nationals on my phone??? YOU BET I DID.

Joined the fandom: Three times; 2002, 2010, and 2020. Obsession peaked: 2014? 2018? Idk it peaks any time someone does something amazing. Fandom friends: Rachel, my girl @idancewiththefairies, WHY DIDN’T I INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS SOONER??? Obsession faded: Hasn’t. Won’t. lol Fanfics you NEED to read: NOPE. NONE. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. No fanfics about real people. Never gonna change that. (some of my) Favourite moments:

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir doing THAT routine at the 2018 Olympics.

Rachel sheepishly admitting to me that Shoma may have replaced Yuzu as her favourite, and me being SO DAMN PROUD of her for growing and developing her own skating opinions apart from me.

Yuzu’s 2012 ‘Romeo and Juliet’ routine and Worlds. THE RAW FUCKING POWER OF THAT SKATE.

Plushenko, cheeky bastard, changing his 2014 Team Event routine AS IT WAS HAPPENING.

The worlds friendliest rivalry between Yuzu and Nathan.

Any thing the Shibutani’s do, and all they do to break up the stereotype that all of Ice Dancing has to be rOmAnTiC and SeNsUaL to be good.

Watching my early faves become coaches and the D R A M A.

Honorable Mentions:

Coco (Film): I watched this the weekend I came home and I owe this movie a lot. It is so sweet an heartwarming, and it a roundabout way it brought me back to Tumblr (needed somewhere to vent my feelings considering I watched the movie a solid THREE YEARS after it came out, Tumblr seemed like the place to go lol). Watched in again in 2020 and it’s just as amazing.

Jekyll and Hyde (All media): Loved this book from the first time I read it in my first year of uni. But in December 2019, my fandom understanding reached its PEAK. The musical?? The comic?? YOOOOOO.

Dear Evan Hansen (Musical): I have BARELY engaged in fandom discourse, but the MUSIC. She fucking SLAPS.

Sirius the Jaeger (TV Series): This show is such an underrated gem. It literally has so much; "dead” family drama? Eclectic international group of monster hunters? Cowboys and vampires?? Yes, yes, and YES. And the main character has the same Japanese voice actor as Atsushi from BSD!

Studio Ghilbi (Films): My love affair with Ghibli goes back to when I was about 5 and BEGGED my mom to take me to the library so we could rent Kiki’s Delivery Service on DVD. But that love has been FULLY rejuvenated this year when I went to the Ghibli Film Festival in New York City (ironically in the last week in February). If you haven’t seen them, go watch From Up On Poppy Hill, Whisper of the Heart, and The Wind Rises. Spoilers, you’re probably gonna cry.

If you’ve made it this far, THANK YOU FOR READING!

And thank you to all the amazing people that made my 2020 not so horrible. Good riddance 2020, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Characters I Think Can (and possibly can't) defeat Alastor

You know. Different characters in Hazbin going up against Alastor one day in a full on power battle with him would be interesting. But what about other characters from other fandoms?

Disclaimer: Some characters from some fandoms, I haven't seen all of (like movies, shows and anime). So please keep that in mind.

I will also categorize characters in the following: High Chance, Medium Chance, Low Chance

High Chance meaning they could most definatley defeat him easily without any injuries or within the blink of an eye, Medium Chance, they could defeat him but it would take a while to, may take some injuries, Low Chance, will most definatley end up with injuries, maybe even come close to dying.

Please note: I don't hate Alastor. He's a really interesting character in my book. This idea has just been in my head for a while. And I wanna see if other people will agree and or disagree. You are also free to reblog this and add onto the list if you want to. This is an open topic to discuss. As long as it remains peaceful and civil. If it gets out of hand, I will delete this post.

This post may also contain spoilers from other shows, anime, cartoons, and movies. I'm leaving game characters out of this because I haven't played a lot of games in order to put those characters on this list. But you are free to add game characters if you wish. You have been warned of possible spoilers!

Anyways. On with the list. This also will be in no particular order power wise so yeah.

High Chance:

1. Mob/Shigeo Kageyama (Mob Psycho 100) (As of this post, I have 2 more episodes left remaining in Season 2. Do not spoil for me and for others please!)

Okay. Maybe not when he's at normal power (0%). But when he's at 100%, that boy is an explosive depending on what emotion he's feeling at the time of a situation. Yes, he has his rule of not using his psychic powers against others. But when the people he holds dearly are in danger of possibly dying or not, he is not a force to be messed with.

(An example of when he's at 100%)

2. Bill Cipher (Gravity Falls) (Spoiler warning!)

We all know of how powerful Bill is. He caused a Weirdmaggedon on Gravity Falls in the Season 2 finale. He froze time, he can grow, he can change his form, and he's been around since the beginning of time itself. Sure, he was defeated by Mabel and Dipper themselves a few times already. But as a whole, this triangle demon is pretty much an unstoppable force to deal with if you really look at it.

He also has a lot of similar qualities to that of Alastor. He likes to make deals, he likes to cause trouble, a lot of the citizens fear him, etc.

3. Kurumi (Date a Live) (Spoiler warning!)

It's been a long time since I last watched Date a Live. But from what I remember, this girl is pretty powerful. If my memory serves me correctly, she can freeze time, she can make duplicates of herself, she weilds a shotgun, she's quite a handful power wise. I haven't seen all of Date a Live. Just the 1st Season. So idk if other seasons/spin offs/OVA's/movies explore more on her powers or not (please don't spoil if it does).

4. Gon (Hunter x Hunter 2011) (Spoiler warning!)

I honestly do think that Gon has a high chance of defeating Alastor. We saw him duke it out with Neferpitou and he won for the sake of a friend. Just like Mob, he may not seem strong appearance wise but this boy has taken on some people much powerful than he is and won. Sure, his battle with the Chimera Ants almost left him for dead but he still made it out alive in the end thanks to Killua's help.

5. Elsa (Frozen, Frozen 2) (Please note I have not seen anything else Frozen related such as shorts. So I'm basing all of this based on what I have seen from Frozen. Any Frozen shorts that may have development on Elsa's powers! I have now seen Frozen 2 on YouTube due to a link but that doesn't mean you can spoil it for others!)

As rediculous as this may sound to some, she probably does have a high chance of defeating Alastor. We saw this girl make an entire ice castle just from her powers alone in Frozen within the course of a 2-3 minute song that everyone has embedded in their heads at this point in time. She can also change her outfits via her powers as well and make animate snow/ice creatures with her powers as well. Heck, we saw her freeze an entire kingdom which was the plot starter for Frozen! Again. Others may have other opinions. But this is what I think.

Medium Chance:

1. Celty Sturloson (Durarara!) (Spoiler warning!)

Like Date a Live, it's been quite a while since I last seen the entirety of Durarara so just bare with me on this. For those that don't know, Celty is a Dullahan, a creature from Irish folklore which is basically like their version of the Grim Reaper. Dullahans supposedly carry their heads around in their arms after they die. But in Celty's case, she lost her head and she kind of gave up on searching for it towards the end of the series. She can make a black ball out of an inescapable substance from her powers, she can make web-like structures with them as well, and she also does weild a scythe. Her motorcycle can also transform into different vehicles such as a horse (which is default), a bike, a carriage, etc.

2. Lelouch Lamporouge (Code Geass) (Please note that I have never completed this anime. I had like 9 episodes remaining in Season 1. So please don't spoil anything in regards to Lelouch's power development!)

I kind of have my doubts with Lelouch on this one since his powers require him to look at someone directly in the eye in order to possess them so he can command them to do something against their own will. But if he plays his cards right (which he's pretty good at doing), he could have a chance of defeating Alastor. Like I previously mentioned, I haven't completed all of Code Geass so I don't know the full extent of Lelouch's powers outside of Season 1. I already also mentioned Lelouch's powers previously, too so yeah lol. But yeah. I kind of have my doubts when it comes to him.

3. Yuu Otosaka (Charlotte) (Spoiler warning!)

Yuu would most likely have a medium chance of defeating Alastor because of his ability to harness other's powers. Keep in mind. It's also been a while since I've last seen Charlotte so bare with me on this one as well. I do think he would come out with some injuries because of the fact that he doesn't know the extent of other's powers that he has harnessed from them, he only knows about his own powers very well. If he's not careful, he could end up injured.

4. Albedo (Overlord) (Please note that I've only seen Season 1 so don't spoil anything that's important to Albedo's power development!)

I personally don't think Einz himself would go out to try to fight someone that's as powerful as he is unless it posed as a threat to his life and or his kingdom. So, I would think that he'd send his servants to survey the area of any potential threats and to get rid of them immediatley before they become a big threat. He probably wouldn't send Albedo out first but maybe she could be his 2nd to last resort before going to investigate himself. Either that or she'd automatically volunteer herself out of the sake of her love for Einz. Which, he'd probably agree with once the begging gets annoying.

5. Chrollo Lucilfer (Hunter x Hunter 2011) (Spoiler warning!)

This would be before he got his powers taken away and restricted into a state of Zetsu by Kurapika. He has shown to be pretty powerful. He made it out alive when fighting against two members of the Zoldyck family. But I think the only disadvantage to this would be the fact that he needs his Nen book in order to use other's powers. Without his Nen book, he's basically powerless.

Low Chance:

1. Ganta (Deadman Wonderland) (Spoiler warning!)

It's been quite a while since I've seen Deadman Wonderland. Bare with me here. So much like Gon, Ganta has taken on some pretty powerful Deadmen while serving his time in Deadman Wonderland after being accused of a crime he was blackmailed against for. I don't exactly remember his Deadman ability since it's been so long. But I do think he'd come out with quite a lot of injuries after challenging Alastor to a fight.

2. Decim (Death Parade) (Spoiler warning!)

The only thing I'm aware of power wise for Decim is that he can use web-like strings to hold people down after they've realized they're dead. I've heard quite a bit saying that he's based on the Greek god, Decima. Idk if that's true or not tho. But the extent of his powers is unknown and I highly doubt Death Parade will continue as an anime series. So I would think he has a low chance at defeating Alastor with all that we currently know on his powers.

3. Sebastian Micaelis (Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji) (Spoiler warning!)

A lot of fangirls will probably hate me for this. Lol. But I kind of doubt Sebastian could defeat Alastor without getting injured. We don't know the full extent of his powers yet despite also coming from Hell in that universe. So, that's the reason to my doubts.

4. Magica De Spell (DuckTales 2017) (Spoiler warning!)

This would be before the Shadow War! I'm also not going to discuss the 1987 show or the original comics since I've never completed the 1987 show nor have I read any of the original comics yet. So I'm only relying on what we've seen so far in the reboot. Like Bill, she was able to start this apocalypse by taking everyone's shadows from them. She trapped Scrooge in his own lucky dime in order to execute her plans. But I doubt she'd be able to defeat Alastor in all honesty.

5. Lena De Spell (DuckTales 2017) (Spoiler warning!)

Lena De Spell is the niece of Magica De Spell. She was created as a shadow with the appearance of the real girl in order to unwillingly help Magica with her plans to take over Duckburg in the exchange for her freedom. After Magica is defeated and powerless, Lena now currently possesses Magica's powers via her amulet. So she undoubtingly has some of the same powers that Magica had. But since she hasn't really had much character development/power development as of this post, I kind of doubt she could defeat Alastor without being injured.

Aand that's all. If you want to add to this post, reblogs are appriciated. Thank you!
