How do you think sinners respawn? Like something in them change or they go through unimaginable pain (both psychological, emotional and physical) to respawn again??
Ok here's my personal headcanons of how non-angelic-steel-induced death works in Hell
cw mild gore
Addendum: Aside from danger of being taken advantage of and pain, why would a sinner fear death? The answer is that it's a matter of dignity. And for Overlords who have plenty of power and can recover quickly, life and death are only matters of social currency.
For sinners and Overlords, going missing is scarier than dying.
Regenerating and respawning are unpleasant processes. The dimension knits your form back together and leaves you with the memory of the sensation. It's also like waking up from a shitty nap that wasn't restful at all
↑↑ All of the above is talking about death without the involvement of angelic weaponry, by the way
Imagine being a detective or forensic scientist in Hell, wow
Shanking your hand on the "Hazbin has it out for me personally" bandwagon 💔 i will never be able to swallow my love for television and broadcast history and will instead seek to disprove the whole flashback and live in my own little interpretation where he made it up to ""be just as impressive but Even Flashier"" than alastor. This show is my beloved but its plot holes and timelines Test me...... truly a battle of attrition on my drive to analyse......
YOUUUU GET IT
A lot of the content I write for fandom is grounded in some form of realism; I like exploring the practical details of fantastical settings. It's fun! Hazbin is no exception to this (in fact, it gives me so much to work with in so many different flavors; it's truly a delight), but rarely do I encounter a situation where a canon timeline just straight up isn't congruent with reality BWAHAHA
A common point people bring up regarding Brighter is how Vincent didn't get caught/investigated, considering how objectively brazen his murders were, but with plot ambiguity of that kind, you can fill in the gaps on your own. Well, why didn't he get caught? Let's get creative and think about it instead of simply settling for "it's not realistic," or "everyone was dumb." Have fun with it! Now . now vincent dying in 1952, while acting as a weatherman seemingly at the start of his career, during a sequence that takes place over (what I would guess) is at least twenty years ? When televised weather forecasting did not begin as we know it until 1954 ? that's just lazy and does nothing for no one . there was literally zero purpose for him to have started out in forecasting (I would have preferred if he began as a radio engineer or broadcast technician actually, but that's neither here nor there). It completely shatters any continuity for literally no reason LOL . This was easily avoidable with one(1) google search
their seasons
we hear the playback and it seemed so long ago
i put it underwater because its making me mad but this official vox varsity jacket made as a collaboration between hazbin and boxlunch is making me lose my marbles because it canonises the date 1952 as relevant to vox as either his death date or the start of his cult AND THE FIRST WEATHER BROADCAST WAS IN 1954. VOX YOU MADE BRIGHTER UP!!!! COMPLETELY!!!!!! VOXXXXX
some upcoming fic notes I left for myself however long ago
When you get called and solicited on the emergency line during one of your only disconnected, off Sunday, but the “problem” didn’t actually require your CEO input at all.
year ago i drew comic ab unhinged charlie taking care with angel dust, so i made new second part ahahahahhaha
The concept of Vincent Whittman's rise to fame really cracks me up. Imagine if Jimmy Fallon, who was also the CEO of NBC, got himself and some fifty others killed in a freak accident where he was being worshiped as the god of some entertainment cult, and was posthumously discovered to have committed 8+ murders
screenshot redraw while I ease back into drawing bc lowk this is how all those recruitment emails you get after graduation feel
"Vox acts like a white man from the 50s!" "Of course Vox did that, he's a white man from the 50s."
Genuine question, what do y'all think the 50s were like?
Because whenever I see these takes, or read fics with that tag, it always feels like a very modern perspective on the topic. People will pick apart a dozen little things Vox does or says as evidence of how bigoted he is, and bring up how he's from the 50s like it's the ultimate condemnation of his behavior. And sure, his time period is where he would have learned those attitudes, but like.
If you compare Vox's behavior in modern-day canon with actual 50s-level bigotry. And you assume he held opinions typical of his era while he was alive. He's um. He's pretty progressive.
Let's talk about it!
To start, racial segregation was still a thing in the 50s. The Civil Rights Movement started in the middle of the decade, but according to the Wiki, Vox died before that. So if he still had a 50s mindset, he would at best think it beneath him to work alongside, or even in proximity with, anyone from another race. The other end of the spectrum is racially motivated violence and murder. Given he was a literal serial killer, it's entirely possible that he was on that end of the spectrum, but given his motive for killing was personal advancement, it's also possible that he wouldn't have bothered. We have no evidence one way or the other.
In any event, Vox obviously does not require his partners (business or otherwise) to be white. He has not required it for at least a few decades, and he might not have ever required it, at least in Hell. Because the first guy he tried to partner with, whom he spent years getting close to and considered a friend, and even fell in love with, is Black Creole. And while it's possible he didn't know that, I'd argue that if race was a dealbreaker, he would have made a point of finding out. So he either didn't know and didn't care, or did know and didn't care.
Not caring isn't the same as not being racist, of course, and given his multiple transgressions in the present (both accidental and deliberate), he probably "didn't care" in the most offensive way possible. But he's spent decades working with Valentino, who's perfectly willing to scold and throw things at him when he crosses a line, and there's no way that partnership would have lasted if Vox refused to change. Given that he's had a lot of screentime and only been racist three times, he seems pretty teachable.
Still racist? Yes. 50s-era levels of racism? Not remotely.
So how about the misogyny, then? In the 50s, women pretty much couldn't do anything without their husbands' permission. Legally they could do things like open bank accounts and own property, but with no laws to prevent discrimination, men could simply refuse to do business with or employ women. Socially, women were expected to be passive, modest caregivers who put others before themselves. So as a man from the 50s, Vox presumably wants the women around him to be obedient doormats who cater to his every whim, yes?
Well, he and Velvette are introduced with her ordering him to come deal with his boyfriend. He does as asked without argument or reprimand, and while he's annoyed, it's not her fault and he doesn't take it out on her. He also never tells her how to do her job, or offers help she doesn't need, or even gives her unsolicited advice. She is his business partner, whom he chose to work with of his own volition, and he treats her as such.
He does expect obedience from Katie Killjoy (an employee, whose soul he probably owns), and as her boss, he also expects her to do her work to his liking. She also spends half their interaction sexually harassing him. And beyond his initial rejection, he never says a word to stop her, even though he clearly doesn't like it. He just kind of puts up with it.
Vox is by no means a pushover, but his social boundaries are. Not good.
Anyway, there is nothing 50s about the way he interacts with women.
Of course, no discussion about gender roles is complete without the other side of the coin. 50s men were expected to be restrained, self-reliant providers and protectors. Emotional displays (including anger, when in public) were considered weakness. Caregiving was unmanly. And now we're talking about Vox himself, so as a man from the 50s, he should be doing his damndest to live up to these ideals, right?
Let's see. He can be self-reliant, but he doesn't want to be, so cross that off the list. He can be emotionally reserved, but he usually shows his emotions in private, even if he doesn't act on them, and his public persona is more upbeat and energetic than stoic. So cross that off. He goes out of his way to make sure Valentino eats, and expresses concern about him not eating, which would fall under caregiving. Cross that off. The Vees all have jobs, which makes their income a collaborative effort, so he's not the sole provider for his family unit either.
The only box he really ticks, at least from the above list, is "protective". And given how quickly he reacts when the other Vees are threatened, I'm confident in saying he's protective because he is, not because it's expected of him. That's a score of... 1/5. So Vox does not particularly embody the 50s ideal of masculinity. In fact, by those standards, he is a complete and utter failure: weak, overly feminine, and frankly pathetic.
Hmmmm.
So! In conclusion:
"Vox acts like a white man from the 50s!"
Fucking HOW?
rare proper blu text addition but the way i am SCREAMING THIS TO THE ROOFTOPS I completely second OP. This isn't because I can't deal with having a problematic fave (I like him just the way he is, thank you very much), but rather, a lot of creators in the fandom handle any racial or sexist attitudes Vox may have with all the nuance of a tossed brick. These attitudes are present, of course, but they are far more implicit than explicit (except when he's trying to be an asshole, i.e., the "island language" comment towards Val). That's not to say all racism isn't bad, whether explicit or implicit, but it's not like Vox was a Grand Wizard in the Klan, either. My personal hot take is that Vox's entire thing, the very crux of his character, is evolution. He is always looking to improve and keep up with the times. We all have our biases, and he clearly still maintains some of his, but I fail to see why this character-defining mindset would not apply to his racial attitudes, too. In the 1950s, pragmatic anti-racist arguments shifted away from pure moral appeals, emphasizing that racial discrimination caused severe economic inefficiency, wasted vital talent, and threatened national security during the Cold War. Labor leaders and civil rights advocates argued that excluding skilled Black workers artificially restricted the labor pool and stunted the economy (citation). To me, this feels like a far more in-character perspective for Vox to have. Perhaps more accurately, I do share OP's sentiment that he likely just "didn't care." Now, a whole lot can be said about Vox, indeed, being in a position of privilege as an upper-class white man from the 50s, where he could afford to not care about racial issues (that's a whole other discussion and a whole other post), but was he actively campaigning against the Civil Rights Act? No, I don't think so. To conclude: Racist? Yeah! Lil' bit.
1950s racist? No. Not even close.

im gonna put this as my desktop wallpaper until i get my shit together
Oh baby, it’s so cruel
i have strong doubts about how intentional this was, but weatherman vincent in the early 50s is actually really fitting when you consider that meteorology as a science was in its infancy when he would've been forecasting. we didn't even know what the jet stream was until wwii, we did not have the capability to gather sophisticated weather data through balloons and satellites until the 70s through the 90s, and the field as a whole was revolutionized by digital tech in the 2000s—but early meteorologists were on the cutting edge of new technology in the fifties that straight up had never existed before, and for the first time, weather prediction actually had some merit instead of just being basically shots in the dark. to be clear, the correct prediction rate was still abysmal compared to today, but it was impressive for the time. setting aside some timeline discrepancies between canon and the real world, i love the idea that vox has always defined himself by catching / participating in pioneering revolutionary technology at its earliest moments, not only meteorology and broadcast television but eventually social media too when velvette lands on the scene
