thinking about lilith's potential va's and. yall im basic im stuck between eden espinosa and susan egan.

on one hand, susan gave us a morally grey mother with a complicated relationship with the protagonist and haunted the narrative for a good while so she could very well do it again. (rose quartz our icon.

on the other hand, if lilith is voiced by eden espinosa, think about the potential new context of Nothing Left to Lose a duet between her and jeremy jordan.

the POTENTIAL, everyone, just think about it. there is a mental animatic in my brain already

[helluvahazbinshidt]

To the tiktokers making edits of that one female cover of Vox Dei but replacing Vox with Charlie, I see you, I respect your vision, but for your consideration:

Charlie's rage being directed not at Heaven, but at her mother because she's found out where Lillith's been all these years.

I think itd give the "motherfucking queen of hell" line more OOMPH

Various shitposts i thought of while watching season 2

---

Vaggi: So I'm thinking maybe Valerie could be a good name. It means valor and it ends in -ie so it wouldn't be too hard for people to get used to it.

Charlie: All good points! And maybe we could call you Val for short!

Angel: (undertale death sound effect)

Charlie: (REGRET) Oh. Right.

---

Emily, rushing in to stop Sera from locking down Heaven: Sera! What in the name of the Speaker are you doing?!

Sera, who recently found out the century long genocide was for nothing, scared as hell that either Heaven is in danger or that she'll have to kill more Sinners again, has to keep Lute from starting a war with little to no help, and on the verge of a mental breakdown from the pressure of being the only real authority figure Heaven has due to Abel and St. Peter having no aura and the Speaker only showing up when the plot calls for it:

Sera: MY FUCKING BEST.

---

Abel, waddling in: Sera don't be mad but Lute is breaking all my dad's stuff and she sang a whole musical number about. well. You know the Old Testament? She wants to do that but to all of hell. And I dunno how to tell her that in 2025 that's called a war crime.

---

Abel: Boy I sure do love being good at everything and everyone telling me how good I am at everything!

Abel: (Gets murdered due to Cain's jealousy)

Abel: Ok that wasn't. Good. Maybe I won't take a solid stance on anything and I won't try to have any presence. Maybe people will like me that way!

Lute: SHUT UP ABEL! Adam didn't even fucking like you!

Abel:

Abel: I CAN'T WIN

___

St. Peter: So I know Lute was being mean but like. Can we make me the official mascot of Heaven? (Holds up a shirt with his face on it)

Sera: No we cannot! Heaven already has a symbol!

St. Peter: Oh really? Who?

Sera:

Sera: Peter.

Sera: (points at The Last Supper, specifically Jesus) You cannot be this stupid. You knew him when you were both HUMAN, for the Speaker's sake.

___

St. Peter: Helllllo Mr. Slithers!

Sir Pentious: Mr. St. Peter, that is not my name-

St. Peter: Uh huh, just got one question. So we went over how spiritually you got into Heaven, but physically how did you get in? No one told me that part.

Sir Pentious: Oh! Well, I died, again, it was all black for a little bit, then I floated up into a room where the Seraphim were.

St. Peter, whose job security depends on there being only one way into Heaven and him guarding it: ...

St. Peter: Ok so you're not gonna say shit to anybody-

___

Charlie: I just don't understand how to get through to the Sinners! These techniques work for human pastors on Earth, my research said so. Angel, what am I doing wrong? What do human pastors do that I'm not?

Angel Dust:

Angel Dust: (internally) Do not say molest kids do not say molest kids she is hanging on by a thread and this would only make it worse Anthony I swear to god do NOT say molest kids-

___

Lute: (yelling in the Speaker's face)

The Speaker: (internally) Oh good heavens when was the last time this child did laundry. She smells like rotting corpses and... oh good lord that's Adam's scent. Why did he smell like that. Why does SHE smell like that. I can see Adam's blood on her skirt. Do we not have washing machines.

___

Valentino: Ah yes. Me, my boyfriend, and his ex that he keeps tied up in the corner.

___

Charlie: Niffty please say something nice about the hotel or I might kms. 

Niffty: Ok! (Then proceeds to describe the hotel as the most disgusting place ever and the only nice things she says are in Japanese)

___

Vox: Hey there angels, it’s me, ya boy.

___

Sera, looking at Vox: Oh. Oh that’s the consequences of my actions.

___

Sir Pentious: I’m about to explain mortality to an immortal being in the only way I know how. SONG!

___

Alastor: If I can’t use my arms to traumatize people, I’ll use my LEGS! (then proceeds to bend his knee UPWARDS)

___

Baxter: Who needs stable employment! I have friends who fold my blankets the right way and a girlfriend who matches my freak!

___

(If Shok.wav could speak)

Shok.wav: Dad does Heaven have fish flakes.

Vox: If they don’t I’ll force them to make them just for you.

Shok.wav: LET’S FUCKING GO!

___

Rosie, feeling Alastor’s soul contract break: Goddamn it they left me out of the plot again.

___

Vox: (having a suicidal episode)

Valentino: (flip flopping between finding that hot and moping that he’s not the center of Vox’s attention anymore)

Velvette: And they say I exaggerate when I say I’m the backbone of the Vees.

___

Adam, in the double afterlife: Is someone praying to me?

Adam: HOLY SHIT! Abel’s aura farming hard core! Just like his old man…

Adam: Ok fine I’ll be nice just this once. (shows up to intimidate Lute)

___

(This one came as a result of me saying Charlie's name too many times)

Charlie Morningstar: -And that's how everything's been. Vox almost took the sinners to war, my dad's recovering from being used as a battery, Emily got her wing blown off, but at least things turned out alright in the end. How have things been in your world Charlie?

Charlie Dompler: Oh you know, the usual. I watched Mother Nature kill Moth Man because I littered and told her he did it.

Charlie the Unicorn:...

Charlie the Unicorn: I found a music box. It played a nice song.

[helluvahazbinshidt]

(crawls out of a crater) how we doing folks. I had to type little footnotes of my thoughts because there was just so much to cover and then type it up later. Here goes the ramblings of the Archivist.

A-papa-pology is adorable.

VOX WAS A BRUNETTE?? I legit thought he was gonna have black hair but points for giving him a rectangular vibe. 

Of course he was a weatherman. Wouldn’t you want to become god weather boy.

I really like the idea of Vox using studio equipment for his kills. It really helps to set up the contrast between him and Alastor. Alastor always used his own weapons for his kills, while Vox borrowed from his environment. It also adds to the theme of him copying other people for his own goals.

Of course his last name was Whittman. 

I really thought Vox would be a straight up televangelist (and it might be implied and I’m too dense) but I like the whole ‘god of entertainment’ thing. He wants the network to be run according to his interests and focused on him, not even referencing Christianity. He needs everything to fall exactly to his vision.

The visual of the TV landing on Vox’s head and electrocuting him fucks.

Angel may be in the worst place but he got the fit

I really like that when Charlie and Husk see him on TV, it’s not a huge blow up at Angel seemingly betraying them, they’re just sad that they seemingly failed him to the point of willingly going back to his abuser.

Bad tickle made me giggle more than it had any right to.

THEY SENT ST. PETER ROTATING. I wonder how he’s been considering Heaven’s security this season. He wasn’t with the gift basket squad, and even with Hell and Heaven on the brink of war, people are still dying, so St. Peter’s still gotta let people in. 

What deflected the laser beam to the Extermination Tower?

Considering that the Elder Angels had no idea about the Extermination, and the way the Winners were murmuring, how horrified do you think they were when Vox threatened them with Extermination when they didn’t even know about the first.

Didn’t expect Sera to straight up bird scream but y’know what the situation called for it. 

Listen Sera I get it. Adam was objectively the worst and Lute is a walking red flag so you want someone the exact opposite of them. But was there really no other option?? You put someone who has zero military training in charge of your entire military?! If Abel and St. Peter get to exist in this universe, why can’t we use Michael or something?

Who is Sera praying to?? Girl you ARE the higher power

Not Abel being a little right about them both having good points. Like Hell is openly getting ready to fuck them up so it’s not unreasonable to be ready to fight but genocide should be the last resort.

“Well I’m rather stealthy. And everyone’s busy screaming right now.” Someone make that an incorrect quote.

PENTIOUS FLYING LET’S GO

One of my favorite tropes in media is immortal beings learning about humanity’s flaws by experiencing those flaws themselves, so Sera and Pentious’s part, mwah

Say what you will about Alastor, you can’t deny his ragebait game.

AW WHAT THE FUCK. DID AL’S LEGS ENTER A NEW STAGE OF EVOLUTION DUE TO HIS ARMS BEING TIED DOWN.

Oh hey KeeKee i was wondering where you went

Oh Baxter. How you demonstrate exactly why we need more than eight episodes. Don’t get me wrong, him being willing to fuck over his boss because they folded his blankets the exact way he likes it is funny but c’mon! They shoved him in the basement for a good chunk of season 2! Let him bond with more of the cast! Explore those dynamics!

Also we’re in agreement that was Niffty right. She seems to be the only housekeeper the hotel has. Come to think of it we need to give her more credit. Her song is about how gross and dirty the hotel is but is there any other cleaning staff? Not to mention the fact that the hotel was designed with the hopes of at least the majority of sinners choosing redemption. And excluding the few who might choose to room together, that’s an individual hotel room for each possible sinner. Do we have any idea how many rooms that only Niffty is cleaning? And Niffty still finds energy to do specific tasks, like folding Baxter’s blankets exactly the way he likes it. 

TL;DR This season put more respect on Niffty’s name and I’m here for it.

Baxter’s singing voice is mwah, again, he deserved more screentime!

you will not make me feel bad for valentino. It’s an interesting character angle but i’m not giving him sympathy.

I have to say, Valentino and Velvette started off as one of the weaker duos in my mind, but I like what this season is doing with them. Velvette is the one who keeps his feet on the ground when he’s off being a lovesick fool.

Abel once again is lowkey right. Like he’s funny during this scene but dawg if I had no military training and got told I’ve gotta go down to hell and fight demons I’d be panicking too.

Overall I really like When I Think About The Future. It fits a specifc genre of ‘characters getting ready to fuck shit up’ that only Ready As I’ll Ever Be fit before.

That frame of Niffty saying she can protect Baxter looked cooler than it had any right to be.

Vaggie. The hubris. This cannon fires the only thing that can permanently kill you. You need a plan Vagatha- 

I really like that Vox’s electricity can manifest as a shark, but why is this the only time he’s using it?? Who is trying to impress??

When did they have the time to make a PowerPoint?? Did Charlie make it or Baxter?? Considering Baxter’s beef with Pentious, I doubt he would, but the mental image of Charlie asking him to make a PowerPoint all about his ex while they’re on a time crunch is very funny.

THEY FUCKING MUTED HIM. Based, you funky little fish man.

Niffty and Baxter’s whole thing is literally the ‘Press the Button’ bit from Portal 2. Iykyk

NIFFTY GETS A SOLO FIGHT SCENE LET’S FUCKING GO.

Cherri is this not the first time you’ve had to break Angel out of V Tower. Did you use a sack the other times or was it just for Angel to puke it.

I love that Baxter wasn’t even injured, no, the reason he broke away from the plan was to cheer Niffty on and watch her kick Velvette’s ass. You can pry madmaid from my cold dead hands.

THIS IS WHAT HE’S USING THE FAVOR FOR?? My god Alastor. I respect the 4 dimensional chess.

BOSS FORM VOX?? PRETTY PLEASE

Touch-repulsed alastor ftw!! I thought something was off about his little radio screech when Vox put his hands on his shoulders and I knew it!!

Vox why are you surprised Alastor used wordplay against you. Not even the fact that he’s a demon in hell, he’s the Radio Demon. His medium is literally built on words, what else did you expect.

RADIOSILENCE REMATCH AND VOX’S FINAL FORM FUCK YEAH!!

Husk you’ve been spending too much time with Charlie. The magic of friendship can’t fix hypnosis.

I love Husk’s stage magician shit :))

SHOK.WAV MY BELOVED… he’s literally the best demon shark in the world, coming to save his dad. 

You know I’ve been wondering how they’re gonna turn Hell against Vox and. Well Vox firing a permadeath cannon all over the place. Yep that’ll do it.

MY GOD. VELVETTE’S BALD. SHE’S BALD AND SHE TORTURES PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAIR.

AND HERE COMES NIFFTY WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

Oh I love Velvette falling into individual doll pieces.

Oh yeah the plot convenient orb. I keep forgetting Heaven just has that.

So like is Velvette already bald. Like she used some magic to regain her hair but like did she spawn into Hell bald and had to figure out her hair spell. 

“Vox is losing his shit” What gave it away, the villain laughing or the firing of a permadeath cannon everywhere.

Carmilla I love you but it should not have taken you long to realize your daughters would not be safe under Vox. You should have seen the red flags when that man rolled up to your house with a sombrero.

Who the fuck said “I’ll be back for season three”??

Dude I love that Sera has faith in Pentious even when Emily is in danger. It really shows how far she’s come.

Why would you send Lute. This is why we have 15 minutes left. I was wondering why we had 15 minutes left when ⅔ of the main villains were defeated. This is why.

Everyone say thank you Velvette

Damn. I kinda wanted to see him fly.

Vox you’re Valentino’s drawing tablet now as punishment, I don’t make the rules.

Ok so we’re just gonna drop that Niffty’s magic. I mean I’m here for it but what kind of magic is that? It kind of looks like lines on a map??

Guys we have 15 minutes left it is not the finale. Why are we singing like it’s the end credits. 

Dawg it should not have taken this long to give Abel a solo, that man is the Fall Out Boy! Also, fun fact; I did grow up listening to Fall Out Boy but when I heard Abel sing in When I Think ABout The Future, I didn’t register it as Fall Out Boy, oh no no no. I recognized him as another cartoon singer, from another cartoon with questionable writing, albeit more kid friendly. That’s right, I was a SVTFOE child, and I deadass went “RUBERIOT?”

Please tell me Lute does more in Season 3. Praying that they’re doing the same thing they did with the Vees of setting her up early, focusing on another villain for the season, and then teasing her with the last episode for next season.

Ok so all overlords are magic, makes sense, but was Niffty an overlord? What did she do? Why did she sell her soul? GIVE US THE NIFFTY LORE DAMN IT!

And the Rosie lore too, she is incredibly worried about the cast’s safety for some reason. I just want more women lore in general.

Aw Niffty being a lovebug <3 If I can figure out what it’s about I’m definitely writing a MadMaid fic in the future.

HUSK WILTING LIKE A FLOWER AND WITHDRAWING INTO HIS WINGS LEAVE ME ALONE.

Angel really started this season in a good place and went exclusively downhill from there huh

HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE FAT NUGGETS WITH HIM FUCK OFF.

Vaggi? With no E? Really? They hyped up Vaggi changing her name all season, and this is the result? I mean it’ll make changing her name in tags easier but jeepers. A meta joke about Vivienne/Vivzie was right there, c’mon!

No credit to Velvette? She quite literally dragged Val there.

Oh I really like Emily’s prosthetic wing…

YES LUTE ANTAGONISM!

Damn they should call her Lilith Cliffhanger instead of Morningstar

[helluvahazbinshidt]

What up hoes. Where we last left off, Charlie had fucked up her relationships and reputation, Alastor surrendered, and Vox was #normal. How can things get better? How can they get worse? Let’s find out.

Or; I watched the latest episodes. Here’s what I thought.

Whoever can bring me Zeezi’s voice actress, you can have your organ of choice.

The section of Bad With Us where Vox convinces the other Overlords to back him kinda reminded me of God Games from Epic ngl.

HE DIDN’T EVEN TRY WITH ZESTIAL. I love Zestial just sitting and drinking tea my unbothered king.

Vox’s blatant racism completely killed the beat, goddamn.

WHY DID HE BRING OUT THE MARACAS AGAIN. 

Overall thoughts on Bad With Us; why did they give the main villains a beach song

Ive been in the fnaf fandom for too long when they said Vanny I went “FREDDY FAZBEAR??”

Unironically like that Husk has become the therapist in Charlie’s absence. I like to think that he and Vaggie are kind of splitting the load while Charlie’s having her manic episode. Also Baxter!! I missed him.

Also surprised the bug guy from episode 1 that fell in Angel’s chest fluff is still here, but maybe he’s committed to redemption.

Is Vaggie seriously the only person who’s thought to go to the king of hell and ask “hey this guy is running a smear campaign against your daughter and she’s self sabotaging trying to fix it herself can you like. Do something about it.”

Please tell me that implies Angel and Vaggie have gossip sessions I am DYING for any information on Vaggie’s dynamics with the rest of the cast.

Did he seriously hang up a sign saying ‘No Alastors allowed.’ This petty bitch. Also has anyone told him Alastor got kidnapped.

WHY IS HE COVERED IN DUCKS. WHAT DUCK WITCHCRAFT WAS HE DOING.

Shocking! Fucking off to go make ducks has consequences your highness! Also you know shit is bad when the literal Sin of Greed is willing to bribe you to take back authority.

Oh…my…god. Ok, permission to ramble about Lucifer for a second? Wait why am I asking for permission this is literally my post. Ok so Lucifer’s whole thing is his pride right. The idea that not only was he cast out of Heaven as a punishment, but he has no actual political power over sinners?? He’s lowkey nothing more than a figurehead?? Why do I love that? It’s his karmic punishment. He thought he knew better that everyone, he thought that he could give free will to mankind with no consequences despite the warnings, now he has no power to change the mess he made because he refused to listen. It’s the exact same flaw as Charlie. They can’t fix what they’ve done because they won’t listen. Lucifer didn’t listen to the Elders, and Charlie’s not listening to her friends. It also explains why no one respects Charlie as the princess of Hell. She’s nothing but a figurehead monarch.

Also did Lucifer make a version of Gatsby but as rubber ducks. And are they implying that it was so comically unpopular that no one went to see it so Lucifer thinks all sinners have no taste in theater.

Again with Lucifer’s pride! Thinking he can automatically do better than anyone else!

Luci, babe, you should have daddyed up before the smear campaign but ok.

Oh my god has Emily and the other angels been watching Charlie go nuts. Oh that’s angst material right there.

Sera honey I respect the desire to stay politically neutral but a white man with a god complex is slowly gaining more and more political power. Neutrality is no longer an option.

Okay Pentious looks semi better than when we last saw him! Good for him.

How is it that the two most powerful women in the room are black and yet that entire conversation felt so white. “Sorry we murdered your people on mass! Here’s a gift basket.”

LETS GO PENTIOUS USING IT STARTS WITH SORRY ON SERA! Cmon you beautiful war criminal, go accept the consequences of your actions.

THEY BROUGHT LUTE AND NOT PENTIOUS?! Lute is actively trying to start a war meanwhile Pentious is literally the key to proving redemption works.

Has Alastor just been scooting around in his little swivel chair causing problems the entire time he’s been with the Vees. Charlie’s worrying he’s getting tortured meanwhile he’s acting like a toddler with a swivel chair.

I mean Val does have vision! It’s just really bad and mostly NSFW.

I am not gonna feel bad for Valentino Hazbin Hotel. Vox being a shitty partner is karma. 

Guys I get he’s Christian Borle but he is still just a white man. He does not earn this much cheer.

Oh ho ho. Vox bringing Lillith into this right as Lucifer shows up. Beautiful. Also to any LSOH that might be reading this; I think we know what happened last time Jeremy Jordan and Christian Borle were enemies in a musical, now don’t we? :)

Lucifer I respect the attempt and the vocals + visuals slay but you’ve been too silly for too long. No one can find you scary now.

Well shoot. I guess Jeremy Jordan only wins if he’s got a man-eating plant and Christian Borle overdoses on laughing gas.

Love the immediate panic on Vox’s face when actual angels show up.

And I am immediately proven right as Lute escalates the situation.

“Lot of negativity here” It’s hell Abel. 

Ohhhh Lucifer. This is exactly why Lilith was the political one in this relationship.

BIBLICAL ANGEL SERA LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh my god faux biblical angel Vox that’s so fucking cool.

Was he just playing with the eggs waiting for them to come back??

FINALLY! CHARLIE’S CRASH OUT! I’VE BEEN WAITING ALL SEASON!

Ohhh boy. Ok. Lotta thoughts about that argument. Charlie had every right to be mad at her dad for escalating the situation but Vaggie also had to tell Charlie that she’s also escalating the situation and making things worse but laying low won’t work anymore so Charlie has to take action but she hasn’t been listening to Vaggie and Vaggie has a right to be mad and everything just exploded.

Ok so we’re just gonna casually drop that Lilith was gonna officially attack Heaven with the sinners? Cool cool.

Vox why did you bring Velvette here. She literally antagonised Carmilla at a meeting she called.

Why does Carmilla have a Zestial ass spiderweb in her office?

Jesus that apology looked physically painful to say Velvette you good?

Ok never mind Zestial can just casually become a normal spider.

JESUS DID THE ENTIRE FUCKING CARMINE FAMILY END UP IN HELL? Did Carmilla lose someone to the exterminations and that’s why she’s an angelic weapons dealer?

Does Baxter really work for VoxTek? If his boss was starting a war with Heaven I doubt he’d still be at the hotel so I’m pretty sure its more of a freelance situation.

Also who’s the mosquito guy still at the hotel?

Husk I get but we also need Chaggie conflict they can’t be lovey dovey all the time.

Love Baxter and Niffty playing patty cake in the background. 

Vaggie I get it’s our worst hour by why on god’s green earth would you give Niffty any form of authority. Especially considering she apparently has a cockroach army.

Also Baxter x Niffty is lowkey growing on me. At first I didn’t care for it considering. Y’know. Baxter’s lack of presence but the way Baxter looks at Niffty. She’s a chaotic specimen and he wants to study her under a microscope. I fw it.

Whoever made the decision to give Husk a solo, I am kissing you on the mouth.

Glad to see no one is spared from a downward spiral, not even Husk.

Ohhhh. Vaggie’s trauma from being a soldier of Heaven. I was wondering when that was gonna become relevant.

NOT HUSK SAYING THAT TO A FELLOW BARTENDER.

HELP HUSK SOUNDS SO HORRIFIED WHEN HE REALIZES THE HOT LADY IS ANGEL. Also goddamn- Angel is hot in drag.

I was unaware this was gonna be “How Gambling Addiction Works” the episode but I aint complaining

By god I missed Angel’s singing voice.

Love Angel lowkey punching people and getting away with it via being a crooner.

Dude Valentino’s flat hat looks so much better on him than his stupid ass top hat.

Everyone say thanks to Velvette for demonstrating why there can only be three mean girls.

Ok why were Velvette and Alastor just sitting together. They were totally shittalking Vox.

Is the implication Vox’s hypnosis doesn’t work because of Valentino’s glasses or because of his shitty eyes?

Whose idea was it to give Valentino the most vocal stim ass lines. I’m from fucking Florida is gonna be in my head for a while. Also of course Valentino is a Floridian. Where else.

Get you a man that will modify your bugs to become musical.

Yes Charlie admit you fucked up!! Acknowledge your mistakes so you can grow!

Also love Vaggie talking about her frustrations with Charlie! They gotta acknowledge the bad!

Really liked Easy because it encapsulated the problem; Charlie and Vaggie gotta work together and not spiral and keep a clear head and rely on each other equally.

ANGEL’S BEEN A FUCKING SPY- actually ngl i read a fic with this premise so im not too surprised.

YES CHERRI AND HUSK TEAM UP LETS FUCKING GO

Has Lucifer seriously just been watching duck soap operas?! Dude your country is on the brink of war.

Oh my god they’re gonna use him as a portable charger. 

Does Vox seriously not know about scream rain? His own forecast talked about it!

TLDR; Charlie Morningstar, I love you, and Niffty is out here living her best life.

[helluvahazbinshidt]

Someone who knows the witchcraft that is digital art, I have a pitch for you.

Stop from Mean Girls as an animatic between Angel and Charlie. It is literally what needs to happen for her.

[helluvahazbinshidt]

Salutations everybody! I just watched both new episodes of Season 2, and hear are my thoughts!

This is gonna be a lot longer than my first post, mainly because I wrote that when I was done, compared to this one, which I actively updated as I went on

Lucifer I love you but you lowkey failed Charlie. WOW That’s a crazy way to start this but. Luci did you and Lillith teach Charlie ANYTHING about politics? Anything at all. I had to pause multiple times just to facepalm at her practically handing the Vees ammo. (Expect a post about how Lucifer is lowkey responsible for the hierarchy in Helluva Boss in the future)

Charlie was really relatable in episode 3, because I too cannot read complicated social cues for the life of me because I expect people to be honest about their intentions. The only difference is I’m not a future monarch. Charlie honey I get wanting to get everything done at once but you need proof for these things.

Good to see Vaggie actually get mad at Charlie for inviting the Vees to the hotel because she knows the damage they can do. I don’t know how canon the pilot still is but it did establish that Vaggie is knowledgeable about Hell politics. I headcanon she goes out of her way to research this stuff because she knows she’s a fish out of water and needs to be informed.

Only Hazbin Hotel could make a love song called Piss. Also I was holding Cherri’s new voice actress to high standards since her pilot voice was an incredible singer, and she fulfilled them!

I’ve also been holding a high standard for Cherrisnake since I wasn’t fond of it. Cherri just never seemed to show anything but hate for Pentious. I really like how neither of them are sure if what they have could be called love. They didn’t jump straight to love for both, instead showing how Cherri regrets not knowing Pentious more and how this combatic relationship that could only form in Hell represents how Pentious misses the place. This is a long way for me to say queerplatonic Cherrisnake ftw

Really like Angel being mad at Charlie for inviting the Vees to the hotel without asking him. She knows Valentino is in their group and she knows the damage Valentino has done to Angel. But you also understand why Charlie’s doing this. She’s desperate to help people but she doesn’t understand how to fight back the damage the Vees are doing because her parents never taught her. She wants to believe she can reason with them but doesn’t account for how awful and selfish the Vees are because not trying to be humane about it undermines the hotel’s message. It’s a catch-22.

Speedrun to Redemption is in a similar boat to Hazbin Guarantee (Trust Us) to me as it works really well for the story, I just don’t like it as a song. The entire song feels like a manic episode. Charlie’s desperate to redeem Angel but she doesn’t really get how to do it and on top of that it’s a time crunch like last season which adds to the theme of ‘why isn’t this working from last time.’ Redemption takes time, but time is something no one is willing to give Charlie. It also adds to the theme that she’s unintentionally hurting her relationship with Angel because while she wants to help him, she wants to help everyone but is accidentally doing it at his expense.

Once again, Charlie is really bad at not giving the Vees ammo, she quite literally dressed up as a mustache twirling villain.

Husk saying he shouldn’t have said anything made me giggle. Did Charlie ask if he could help and Husk was like ‘if I say yes this will be over quicker.’

 This theme of Charlie wanting to help people in any way she can but damaging her relationships also hits with the train thing. She thinks being willing to sacrifice yourself is the key and maybe it’s a testament to how much she believes in Angel that he could save Husk without dying, but that’s an angelic spear tied to that train. If he wasn’t ready for Heaven, that could have permanently killed him. And I get that she didn’t know Vox would cut the brakes, but she could have tied the ropes looser. These things can permanently kill people. It shows how she’s not thinking things through all the way in her desperation.

Niffty what the fuck did Husk do to you. She pulled that cord with murderous intent.

Viv. Why in god’s name did you have Husk to threaten to spank Angel in a serious argument.

Again, really glad to see Vaggie being more firm with Charlie. And glad to see that Vaggie bringing Charlie down to earth is what let Charlie truly see what got Pentious in the clouds.

Why is Angel being a murderer treated as this jaw drop reveal? We’ve seen him kill multiple sinners and angels. Although him killing his own dad is a nice backstory drop.

Yes Charlie! Show some spine! Don’t repeat your father’s mistakes! Also really like how despite Vox being awful, she doesn’t say he’s irredeemable. She honestly believes anyone can change and grow.

Really funny that Velvette seems to be the only Vee that can’t immediately leave. Vox can teleport and Valentino can probably fly (he has wings) meanwhile if she does something dramatic she has to walk like a normal person.

Also love Angel being mad at Charlie for overstepping his boundaries! He made it clear that he wasn’t ready, and she indirectly trampled on that. She overstepped like she did in season 1 because he hasn’t fully explained why she can’t do that and she doesn’t understand why she can’t step in. 

Love Cherri checking in, but babe your default to everything is bombs. I think this is gonna take a while.

Charlie why would you take Niffty. That girl is the least likely to go to heaven.

 Lucifer honey. You only showed up for the last stretch of the fight. At least Alastor was there from the beginning. And you had one conversation with Charlie that doesn’t seem to be effective atm. (Expect a post about how Alastor and Lucifer powerscaling and how that relates to the themes of this season.)

The line about Katie only then meeting Charlie really doesn’t help with the question ‘is the pilot canon’. Although you could argue Katie forgot she met Charlie, but she fistfought the lady on live television. 

NIFFTY HOLDING UP A KYS SIGN AT KATIE MADE ME SNORT. WHY DOES SHE EVEN HAVE THAT.

I get why some people are upset by the reveal that Rosie is the one who owns Alastor’s soul, but I really like it. For one, it gives Rosie a little more devious since aside from the cannibalism (crazy ass sentence) she didn’t seem too evil in season 1. And another thing, I really like this turn for Alastor’s character. Because from this standing, he really doesn’t have any genuine friends. He owns Husk and Niffty, he only sought Charlie out on Rosie’s orders apparently, he broke things off with Mimzy and Vox, and Rosie owns his soul. Anyone he’s on good terms with, it’s a business standing. We don’t know how he feels about anyone, not even people he tolerates. Is he so he can gain more power, or does he like anyone. He has no one he can be vulnerable with, and I love that for his writing.

 I’m noticing a pattern; the human backstory versions of characters are the first time I’ve found them hot. First Pentious and now Alastor.

I get the point of showing that Alastor killed a guy for spilling wine on his suit was to show his ego, but I get that man. You know how hard it is to get stains out of white? Especially red? I got vaccinated a month ago and I bled out a little into this white shirt I was wearing. Had a mini panic attack.

WHY IS ALASTOR’S VOICE HOTTER WHEN HE’S HUMAN.

what who said that. that wasn’t real.

Rosie really went ‘wow your vibes are so rancid. you’re gonna be one of the worse demons in hell.’

I retract point 25. Alastor you can’t be pissy someone got wine on your sleeve and then get blood all over a white shirt while killing a man. If you kill someone, you wear black; that’s murder 101. 

FBI agent watching me I swear I haven’t killed people before I just read too many horror stories.

Don’t You Forget is alarmingly catching. I really like how Rosie’s magic looks. Also since Rosie’s a cannibal do you think the skeletons are people she and the town have eaten the meat off and kept around for some reason. Also also the fact that Alastor knows the words you think this isn’t the first time Rosie’s sang a musical number essentially equating to ‘you need to get humbled motherfucker.’

Really like the imagery of Alastor sitting on a bench near a statue of the Morningstars as he gets an idea. It makes it understandable what he’s going to do but it’s vague as to who he’s going to approach. The most obvious choice is Charlie which. Alastor c’mon. Is this really the first time it’s occurred to you to use your favor with Charlie to untie your soul. You’re supposed to be two steps ahead man, 2020 tumblr was drooling over you for a reason.

KATIE JUST CASUALLY DROPPING THE EXTERMINATIONS HAVE ONLY BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVEN YEARS. THE HELL. Ok I personally would not have made that writing decision but I guess we’re doing this now. Ok so the Exterminations were an annual event, so there were only seven. How many people could the Exorcists have managed to kill? What was their time window? This raises so many questions.

Once again. Charlie makes things worse by rushing to clear her name instead of waiting for proof. We’re gonna have to get one of those child leashes to hold her back aren’t we.

It’s pretty cool seeing the live chat respond to Charlie. And it’s nice that at least someone (Catweed) is trying to hear her out. Also who is MicandCheese lmao what’s their beef with Charlie. Also I hate to say it, but there is a point to be made about how Charlie’s privilege has made her a bit blind as to what conditions are living in, but she’s at least trying to understand. Granted she’s not doing great but attempts are made.

I like Clean It Up more than I thought I would. I wanted it to expand on Niffty’s character and. Well it established that she does think Charlie will succeed and that she’s a kind boss. Granted she called everyone trash but she likes trash and enjoys cleaning it up, so maybe you could say she believes they’ll get cleaned up.

Vox really left right in the middle of sex with Valentino the moment he heard Alastor’s voice huh. Also if they were fucking why was Velvette there.

Man I am getting rewarded with the women this season huh. The idea of Velvette live streaming her fights not just for the clout but so she can pull digital icons and mix them with her witchcraft and turn them into weapons is just so fucking cool.

VEE BATTLE VEE BATTLE OH MY GOD ITS A THREE VEE ONE THANK YOU SPEAKER

God Husk’s magic is so cool EVERYONE’S MAGIC IS SO COOL. Did the writers and animators collectively agree that magic is cool and they should use it as weapons more instead of just. Variations of gun and knife.

Valentino objectively speaking you should be more afraid Niffty killed an archangel.

“Make the two ladies fight” boo tomato tomato lame

“Make the witch and stage magician fight to show off their different magicks” epic and awesome sauce

I really like that only when Niffty was at gunpoint and couldn’t escape that Alastor surrendered. I think she’s the closest thing he has to an actual friend. There’s a lot of potential to explore her character here and her relationship with Alastor and why she means so much to him.

Dawg Vox is not beating the former relationship allegations; this man threw an entire parade after getting Alastor as a prisoner. No one throws a parade if it was just a rejected business partnership. How much do you think he just had this in storage.

HE LITERALLY TOOK HIM ON A 1950s ASS MILKSHAKE DINER DATE. He knew what he was doing, drinking that in front of him when Alastor’s mouth was covered.

70 YEARS my god these fucks are old

Oh I really like the idea that Alastor is kind of a radio himself and can still use his broadcast powers without his staff.

I love the idea that Vox started out sucking up to Alastor that matches his vibe exactly. Also I’m just gonna say it; pre-breakup Vox was hotter. Alastor took his swag in the divorce.

Oh I know that look in Vox’s eyes that is the look of a man about to ask another man to marry him and kill god together. And the little sparks running up his antenna…

FUCKING VOX NAME DROP?! Of course he’s a Vincent. This is purple guy ass behavior.

Listen Vox being so cruelly rejected and that little “I thought we were friends” stings and all but it’s also really funny when you remember Vox was asking him to do terrible things. Bro the magic of friendship doesn’t work for capitalism.

I hate to say it. I really do. But lowkey I was thinking the same thing as Val.

You think the reason Vox twitched at seeing Charlie say she does think he could be redeemed was because of Alastor’s rejection.

Headcanon that Abel used to be really outgoing and confident (since in the Bible he was described as great at everything) but after Cain had his little. incident, he withdrew a lot and only got worse due to his only support seeming to be Adam and well. Adam is Adam.

[helluvahazbinshidt]

Just watched the latest episodes of season two, and my thoughts

1) LOVE that Vaggie is looking into changing her name as a sign of recovery from Adam.

2) The Speaker's design eats. I love the little scrolls as her tail.

3) Y'know I kinda like that Pentious's sin was him not speaking up, it works well for his character. And it kind of makes sense that it damned him to hell considering that they never figured out who Jack the Ripper was. Like Pentious knew his face and name but didn't speak up. He's likely the only person in Hellaverse canon who knows his true identity and the knowledge died with him. A prolific serial killer never got caught and his name was lost to history. I can see that being a sin worth damning.

3.5) you think pentious ever met Jack the ripper in hell.

4) LOVE Sera's inner conflict here. She honestly isn't sure what to do here because it's a complicated situation. Hell is full of dangerous people who do want revenge on Heaven, we saw that in episode 1, but Pentious is living (well, dead) proof that they can change and be redeemed if they choose. If anyone can potentially be redeemed, then it isn't ethical to slaughter the bunch.

5) Love Lute's mental spiral <33 love it when women get worse. Also Sera I get you don't know what you're doing but c'mon. Lute is actively tweaking out and Abel has the backbone of a chocolate eclair. He can't even ask for a guitar from her how the fuck is he gonna keep her from starting world war 3.

6) Also love the knowledge that Vox was a cult leader when he was alive!! It makes him a lot more interesting.

Overall I really like what they're doing so far, especially with the female characters. A lot of the time I was yelling "I LOVE WOMEN".

Manifesting Niffty gets more character moments this season, especially considering her semi celebrity status after killing Adam and the fact that there's a song with a broom and cockroach emoji, that's gotta be a Niffty song.

[onesidedradiostatic]

happy aro visibility day to all my fellow arospecs out there!!!!

[onesidedradiostatic]

that's just how he normally sleeps vox. sorry.

I spent my break making this stupid comic instead of doing pride art. enjoy

(if you couldn't tell yes, vox intentionally booked a room with a single bed with the intention of making an "only one bed" situation so he can bed-share with alastor. it failed.)

(semi-based on this ask from a bit ago)
