Villain Song Showdown Preliminary Round #11

Top two will make it into the bracket

The Lion King only has one more spot though.

Songs below the cut

I Want More - Villain: Claudia

Descole's theme live version - Villain: Jean Descole (It was the live version that was submitted)

In Circles/_n C_rcl_s - Villain: Sybil Reisz

Going to include the propaganda for this one because it seems important: "sadly can't get this across with the ost recording, but Sybil is being taken over by the Process, in game, the song gradually switches from In Circles to _n C_rcles, and grows more distorted as Sybil is Processed more and more"

Ya Got Trouble - Villain: Harold Hill

Evil Like Me - Villain: Maleficent

Be Prepared Reprise - Villain: Scar

The Madness of King Scar - Villain: Scar (and hyenas)

Chow Down - Villain: Hyenas

Isabella's Lullaby - Villain: Isabella

Small rambling thoughts,,,, Transistor is such a beautiful game and I especially love the performance given by the Boxer/Mr Nobody. There’s one line in the game where he goes “I love you so much, Red… you know that, right?” And I need everyone to go listen to that line delivery because it makes me emotional just thinking about it!!!! The whole game is beautiful and bittersweet and that line delivery really encapsulates the feeling of loss and determination the game holds.

Hazbin headcanon: Xenogender Sinners (& Saints)

"A what now?"

Xenogender (xeno - strange, other, foreign) is a type of gender identity that can't be defined in relation to the usual human gender spectrum (masculine feminine, non-binary, agender, demiboy, demigirl...) and instead uses non-human categorizations.

Xenogender identities are said to fill a “lexical gap” or the lack of words in the English language to define one’s particular experience with gender. Xenogenders fill these gaps by comparing their gender identities to certain concepts – pre-existing or imaginary. It should be noted that xenogenders don’t necessarily identify with specific objects, but use these things as metaphors to describe their relationship with gender. - LGBTQ Nation

Examples of real xenogender categorizations:

Identifying with an abstract concept such as freedom, fluidity, more than you would identify with the concepts of "masculinity" or "femininity"

Feeling more comfortable with thinking of yourself as someone "alien" or "robot-like"

Feeling like your gender identity is endless and infinite

Feeling absolutely genderless. Some refer to their gender as a "void" (voidgender)

Identifying your gender as something as fuzzy and indiscernable as TV static (staticgender)

While extremely uncommon in our world, people on the xenogender identity spectrum are definitely more represented in the Hazbin Hotel universe!

After all, most souls are reincarnated in bodies that are no longer human or human-like in appearance and functionality and the gender they were assigned at birth as humans or the one they chose in life might be entirely impossible to guess. It also seems like it's a common practice to reinvent your entire identity in your afterlife, going by a new name and barely mentioning the person you used to be.

Wouldn't it be fitting for non-human Sinners to identify with non-human gender qualifiers? Occasionally, as a way to temporarily cope with their dysmorphia? Or fully embracing them and taking pride in them?

Who says "radio demon" can't be a gender?

machine-like Sinners identifying with the concept of "robotgender"

Sinners with bodies made of fire, water, smoke, wood... finding new ways to express themselves with the limitations but also the new opportunities their bodies provide

Animal-like Sinners who spent more time in their demonic bodies than they spend in their human bodies and forgot what type of human gender presentation they used to like

Vox using it/its pronouns to cope with its feelings/when it needs to give up control/ (I'm a machine today, I don't need to think or feel)

Ode to Trans Femmes

The first in a set of gender based playlists I made. It is meant to be listened to in order and on repeat. Some song choices may warrant explanation, analysis under the cut.

Ode to Trans Femmes song choice analysis

Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

Song by Shania Twain

To start positive; celebrates vital femininity.

Woman Up

Song by Meghan Trainor

Still celebrating vital femininity

Shea Diamond – American Pie

Frustration Arc

We take a step back to have frustrations about social barriers we face. This song is angry and desperate for the safe Americana enjoyed around it.

The Village

Song by Wrabel

Frustration Arc

This song validates those frustrations and says it isn't our fault. The system was built this way and we can grieve our lost place.

Twisted Transistor

Song by Korn

Frustration Arc

This song pulls from the same frustrations as American Pie and encourages us to celebrate the ways in which we cope, giving the example of music. (Huh, meta.)

Nine Days – Absolutely (Story of a Girl)

We just finished airing out a lot of feminine frustrations and highlighted rather bleak experiences. Here we're bringing them back up, complimenting their smiles and comforting them while they cry.

Steam Powered Giraffe - Transform

Transform pontificates on acceptance and peace but settles at being allowed to exist. (existential)

Alive

Song by Pearl Jam

Authentic Arc

Alive marks the beginning of the authentic arc. The song is about the invisible curse we might find we carry. The subject distances themself from the room they grew up in as "a young man's room" and goes on to describe an encounter with a woman that leaves them dissociated. I interpreted this as the earliest hints of self discovery.

IDK If I'm a Boy

Song by Blue Foster

Authentic Arc

This singer is describing how they relate their given masc identity to their innate feminine nature. They are trying on titles like shoes and grappling with not having femme passing privilege. They sound disoriented and directionless, but convinced that they've taken steps in their right direction.

The Middle

Song by Jimmy Eat World

Authentic Arc

This song replies to IDK if I'm a Boy's uncertainty for the future and tells the subject "not to write themselves of just yet" because the story is still being written. It also invalidates the opinions of the nay-sayers as bitter hearted.

GIRLI - Dysmorphia

Authentic Arc

Dysmorphia replies to The Middle's "disregard the haters, love your self harder" message with "Even if I do, I still have to come home to myself, and she isn't as nice as you."

Let Me Love You

Song by Kobra and the Lotus

Authentic Arc

The song Let Me Love You sees Dysmorphia's plea to acknowledge our inner pain, validate it, and, most of all, accept it, and replies with the unconditional love and support asked for. This song concludes the authentic arc saying: You're loved even still. You are worth protecting and you will never be alone.

This ends the structured part of the playlist

Just a Girl

Song by No Doubt

This song says, so what if I'm just a girl, I still have human rights. It expresses frustration with sexism and reclaims girl power

I love myself today Bif Naked

This song reads as a type of "break up" from yourself, your old definition of self that held you back. You're breaking up from the person whose shoes you are wearing, whose noose you're taking off.

Bad Reputation by Avril Lavigne

A conclusion to the playlist that is meant to impart the beauty, pride, and dignity being found in our messy experiences. Yeah, everything might be a mess right now, but you're YOU, and YOU'RE ALIVE, and you know what to do.

[wanderingmind867]

Marvel had like three anthology books back in the day: Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish. If i were ranking these three books from best to worst, i feel like i would go: Tales to Astonish, Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense. Tales to Astonish had Ant-Man/Giant-Man, Hulk and Namor. And all three of those characters are pretty good. I don't love the later giant-man stories, but i love the old ant-man ones. And hulk and namor seem like they'd have fun stories.

Strange Tales had the human torch, doctor strange and nick fury, agent of shield. Some of the early doctor strange stories got a little dull for me, but i didn't hate them. And i haven't read the human torch or nick fury stuff, but it seems like it'd be good. The human torch stuff seems like standard weird, silly silver age stuff. I mean, we get villians like asbestos man, for goodness' sales. And the Nick Fury stuff was spy fiction, which seems cool. Spy fiction seems like it'd be cool.

Takes of Suspense is the worst, solely because of the content of some of the stories (i think, at least). Takes of Suspense was for Iron Man and Captain America, and their stories aren't always the best. These two get all the cold war stuff. With characters like the Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, etc as villains, you begin noticing a pattern. I mean, he had good stories (and his supporting cast is nice), but the cold war stuff stands out. And the Captain America stories...well, i want to like them. But it's hard to get past his super soldier serum origins. And with stories like one where the red skull infiltrates a black power rally (no, they really did that), it gets a bit hard to want to read it. Not because the character is bad. But moreso because the writing seems bad.
