A late complaint, but "Out for Love" pisses me off. Like, it's such a pointless song. What hatred, what bloodlust? The entire season before, we were literally shown that Vaggi does everything out of love! "Whatever It Takes"—she literally sang about it! Lute had bloodlust, for that matter; she at least wanted to fight Vaggi not because Vaggi was threatening Adam, but out of the principle of "I didn't finish you off sooner, I'll finish you off now."

Hell, I'd even be glad if Vaggi actually had bloodlust and a desire for revenge! That would at least add something to her character! As it is, she had a desire to protect her beloved, and after Carmilla's song, she wants to protect her beloved again; she has no other desires at all! She's empty; even when they try to make her complex, she still ends up playing the literal role of "the main character's love interest." She's less well-written than the prince from Snow White. And that's saying a lot, because Snow White is the most classic fairy tale of its kind. In a fairy tale, you can and even should be just an archetype; the fairy tale itself is an archetype. But Hazbin tries to seem like something more. And it fails every fucking time!

(By the way, I love Snow White, I love all the versions of it, I love the old Disney cartoon. Old Disney - love, New Disney - ugh)

By the way, the idea that Vaggi was supposedly the coolest exorcist and super strong is completely broken: Lute beats her every single fucking time. The only time Vaggi was supposedly the winner and cool was actually when a collapsed hotel defeated Lute. And even after that, with one arm torn off, Lute caught up and beat Vaggi. In a clean sweep! So it seems Adam was just giving out compliments. (Like a parent to their child at some children's performance: you're the best! You're great! You're the coolest!)

“Think of who you care about”… like. For example. Her girlfriend? WHO VAGGI HAS BEEN THINKING ABOUT FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON? THE ONLY PERSON SHE HAS A CONSISTENT RELATIONSHIP WITH? HER ONLY MOTIVATION?

"Wow I wonder how the fans/defenders are treating Brandon's hardcore racism"

"Oh."

will rb with more if found.

[also, i am not cherry picking these. these comments are not rare and i got most of them from ONE post by a hellaverse stan]

"Why is blackface so bad for yall?"

Are we being so deadass right now? Is that a serious question? Does it really need to be spelled out for you? I can't believe you can be this fucking stupid. 💀

Just because it happened years ago doesn't make it magically okay. Yes, some people do grow out of that toxic mindset, but I highly doubt Brandon ever apologized or even acknowledged it at least once.

The fact that it happened years ago isn't the real issue here, it's the fact that it happened at all and was posted online for "entertainment".

"Brandon was a teenager back then-"

Okay and? Teenagers are at the age where they know blackface is severely unfunny and harmful in a stereotypical fashion. You guys would be just as displeased if a black person did whiteface and acted stereotypically white.

dude the pagans have no fucking leg to stand on. Athenian women were legally children and literally could not roam outside their houses. men were expected to “rule” and control their wives’ sexualities while it was NORMAL to rape little boys. infanticide and child abandonment were NORMAL and common, especially to female children. it was NORMAL for little girls to be forced into marriage with decrepit old men. hell, the entire concept of chivalry developed out of a Christian notion to civilize European savagery, including the very NORMAL practice of (non-Christian) countries of raping, pillaging, and ransacking regions you conquered. the classical and hellenistic periods were not fucking gay utopias “spoiled” by Christian ethics. they were full of human sacrifice and beating women.

When people say Christianity destroyed the Greeks/ the Roman Empire/ Vikings I take it as a complement because of the reasons listed above. There is a good reason why those people chose not return to their old pagans ways.

Also all those people are still around, they’re just Christian now. E.g. the deacons at Coptic liturgies stand with their arms crossed over their chests, like the figures carved into pharaohs’ sarcophagi, because that’s “dignified posture” to Egyptians and has been for 5000 years.

Adam and the Words of A Young Girl

Heaven had been louder lately.

Not the usual cheerful, musical kind of loud — the kind Heaven liked to pretend was constant — but a quieter noise. The kind made of murmured reunions, soft crying, and people trying to adjust to eternity after lives cut brutally short.

Adam leaned against a golden railing overlooking the arrival plaza, his wings folded loosely behind him. Normally he'd be cracking jokes, making some crude comment, or bragging about being "Humanity 1.0."

But today… he was quiet.

World War II had ended.

The flood of souls had not.

He’d watched them come in waves. Soldiers. Civilians. Families. Entire generations that never got to grow old.

And then there were the ones from the camps.

Adam’s jaw tightened.

He had seen humanity at its worst before. He’d seen wars, genocides, cruelty repeating across centuries. But this… this had been something colder.

Planned.

Efficient.

Industrial.

Children arriving with hollow eyes and confused expressions.

Children who should’ve been worrying about school or friends… not death.

He exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple.

And Hell…

That part gnawed at him.

Because he knew where some of the worst monsters ended up. He knew Lucifer and Lilith weren’t exactly running a strict punishment system. The idea that people responsible for such suffering were still… existing… still conscious…

It made something dark twist in his chest.

Heaven was supposed to be relief.

Hell was supposed to be justice.

Lately, it didn’t feel like either.

Then—

"Adam!"

The voice was small. Bright. Familiar.

He turned.

And immediately, his shoulders relaxed.

Anne Frank approached him, smiling warmly, her hands clasped behind her back. There was something gentle about her presence — like a soft light that refused to dim.

Adam’s usual cocky grin softened into something quieter.

"Hey there, kid," he said gently. "Didn't see you coming."

Anne stepped beside him, peering over the railing at the crowd below.

"More new people?" she asked.

"Yeah," Adam said softly. "More."

Anne nodded thoughtfully.

"Margot and I joined the writing club," she said, her face lighting up. "I'm trying to finish a novel I wanted to write. It's called Cady's Life. I want people to understand what it was like… and maybe help others who went through something similar."

Adam felt a tightness in his chest.

She said it so simply.

Like she hadn’t suffered.

Like she hadn’t died young.

Like she hadn’t lost everything.

He gave a small, encouraging nod.

"I think that’s a great idea, Anne," he said gently. "You always had a knack for writing."

She smiled shyly.

"You know… I used to write in my diary back on Earth," she continued. "I pretended I was writing to a friend named Kitty. It helped when we were hiding. Margot wrote too."

Her expression softened slightly.

"I don’t know if my diary survived… but I think I’d like to start another one here. New memories."

Adam’s voice was quiet.

"You should. You deserve a lot of new memories."

Anne looked out at the crowds again.

"You know… one of the last things I wrote before we were taken was…"

She smiled faintly.

"In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart."

Adam stilled.

The words hit harder than he expected.

Anne continued softly.

"It sounds strange, doesn’t it? After everything… but seeing people here… comforting each other… finding their families again… it makes me believe it even more."

She turned back to him with that same gentle smile.

"Well, I should go find Margot. See you later, Adam."

She waved and walked away.

Adam watched her go.

A fifteen-year-old girl.

Still believing in goodness.

After everything.

He turned and walked away quickly.

The door to his home opened with more force than necessary.

Adam stepped inside, his breathing uneven.

A chair went flying first.

It slammed against the wall.

Then a table.

Glass shattered across the floor.

His wings flared, feathers trembling.

He thought about Anne.

Fifteen years.

Just fifteen.

Still hopeful.

Still kind.

Still believing in people.

Adam removed his mask slowly and looked into the mirror.

No smug grin.

No frat-boy confidence.

Just exhaustion.

And anger.

"Kid should’ve had a life…" he muttered.

His voice cracked slightly.

"Should’ve grown up… gone to school… fallen in love…"

His hands tightened.

"Should’ve gotten old."

Silence filled the room.

Adam closed his eyes briefly.

"One day, Anne…"

His voice was low. Almost protective.

"One day… you and everyone like you…"

His wings slowly folded behind him.

"You’ll get real justice."

He stared at his reflection.

And for the first time in a long time…

Adam didn’t look like Heaven’s loudest voice.

He looked like someone carrying the weight of every child who never got to grow up.

most of the tv shows I watch started airing before I was born or when I was very small, and by the time they ended, I was still too young to be in the target audience. This means I've made myself used to tv shows taking place at least like a decade before now and it genuinely jars me whenever I'm watching a newer tv show and they mention something from the 2020s

Cherri didn't give a crap when Pentious was getting dragged into a room and SA. And only became interested in him when she learn he has two dicks. Remind me why are we suppose to care about this couple.

The more you think about it, the more you realize that Cherri Bomb would be the most toxic girlfriend for him

Stan Mental Gymnastics When It Comes To People Like Val And Vox

Hazbin Stans: Critics should stop defending exterminations not every sinner is a Vox or Val. There are plenty of Sir Pentiouses down there.

*Same Breath*

Hazbin Stans: It's hell what do you expect Vox and Val will do. Also why are you signaling out Val due to his status as a rapist when Alastor is just as bad or even worse as him.

Good Call Out To The Bs Attempts To Downplay Alastor As A Gotcha So They Can Downplay Val

Seriously, this post really takes the words out of my mouth about how much the fandom does everything it's power to Val be called out on how he's portrayed in the show and how the fandom takes it further by coddling him.

I think my biggest problem with the way the hellaverse writes “nice” characters is that, outside of Emily, their niceness always feels incredibly fake to me, it doesn’t feel like it comes from a place of genuine goodness and desire to help others but rather something for their own personal gain (Charlie being more concerned with proving Vox wrong rather than ensuring everyone is alright, Moxxie being angry at Millie for having taken away his spotlight). At other moments the show will have supposed “nice” characters be discriminatory towards others without giving them any consequences (Abel being misogynistic towards Lute by calling her a bitch, Beelzebub comments towards Mammon feeling both aphobic and fatphobic).
