Artist || Hoyo enthusiast || Rewriting Hazbin Hotel (as a whole)

[kimsj90]

Well, you may be wondering why I deleted the rewriting pitch of my version of Hazbin Hotel and the redesigns? I am still remaking, but I decided to do it on gdocs, and I basically wanted a good space to type something from my head and from various research.

Yeah, nada nada... My life can be a mess sometimes.

[kimsj90]

Just the redraw of 2017 (damn, 9 yrs ago???) This was supposed to be posted here last April, but I forgot to do it after finishing my Thesis delib (and finally graduating, closing the chapter of my student life)

This one is refer to the 2010s j3j3m0n (basically it’s a subculture that’s popularised thru texting culture - smartphones were very common back then). There is the styles that has some influence from American pop, and it’s way different from the classic 2000s Emo style.

Idk if this is something I should get this out of my chest but..

Criticism has already turned into like hatred (unintentionally). It has been like the biggest problem due to social media. I guess it’s because of the whole ‘cancel culture’ that manifest into this kind of thing. It’s like criticism and hatred became blurry, and sadly, both fandom and critics cannot see the difference.

Well, I guess IQ and EQ have to 1v1 each other.

Just a big ass WIP of Samael, cus why not? Although I miss my old design, idk, to mee the old one just follows the same body type, lean and twink, so I changed it. He’s not buff, but has like a moderate build to his body.

Aleph my boi, his skin really fits Samael perfectly, also Crowley from Good Omens.

Bluesky is funny because a lot of people over there will call twitter the "nazi website" and then fully and unironically spend days making excuses for racism and anti blackness.

Those people seem genuinely incapable of calling out racism when it comes from someone who isn't a far right conservative.

[chaifootsteps]

#like my last straw is calling twitter a 'nazi website' because black people are criticizing the normalization of racism in animation spaces#bluesky users are beyond help lol

[kimsj90]

I’ll sat this, as someone who deleted Twitter because of those ‘progressive people and politics driven posts’

Newsflash Bluesky ppl, you also push that bs and you all turn it into Twitter 2.0. I know you hate Elon, but you all also contribute to the worse and problematic behavior in and out. Now look what BlueSky is now, the abused became abuser.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT SAMAEL ❤️❤️

((He is such an interesting character, its too rare to see Samael as a single character))

Oooo ofc. I would love to talk about it.

There are lots of posts that Samael and Lucfier are one and the same entity, maybe it’s because of being correlated with Satan and being married to Lilith.

However, upon reading the texts in Jewish, Kaballah, Talmud, etc., I made Samael separate from Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel and have himself lean more to morally ambiguous (cause Viv can’t do morally ambiguous one). Archangel Samael is also one of the angels created by God, but is tasked with a very destructive duty: taking the souls away from humans, much like Azrael, which is also the Angel of Death, but that would be another post.

Samael has everyone confused of his own goal, especially how he has another role of ‘being the heaven’s ultimate weapon’ or ‘the accuser who accused humanity’; which in theory, he could be a good comparison to Satan (in title ofc.), the thing is, he gets used to his own job; he doesn’t question the weigh of good and evil but he puts every humans to their test - much like how Samael tests Abraham’s resolve to kill his son, or in a different text, he’s the one who wrestled Jacob. He didn’t rebel against Heaven and God because his duty remins a concern, but because he accepted that there is no such things as making everything as good as possible, and not everything lives with a single, inherent, and independent goodness. He is created to take the job in the world where everyone will fear and hate him, whether they admit it or not.

But, does Samael take Jesus’ soul? No, perhaps he accepts that he is the Son of God, and he lets him be.

My backstory is something like this (I added my version of Extermination to make it even interesting)

In summary of backstory cause I forgot Samael’s whole backstory whoops: After Lilith left Adam due to submission issues, Samael and Lilith fell in love, and unknowingly, Samael decided to plant the ‘vine’ onto the tree of knowledge to trick Adam. God, fearing that Samael and Lilith’s union will cause chaos on his creation, decided to castrate Samael and put him into detention, separating him from Lilith. Lilith wept, missing her favorite husband, and there comes Lucifer (borrowing from the Paradise Lost where he is the first to fall into Sheol, before scheming into the Garden of Eden). Although she didn’t want to lose him, having to wait for Samael for so long becomes much of a boredom and decided to fall in love with Lucifer. They both began scheming to trick both Adam and his second wife, Eve to eat the forbidden apple, which led to expulsion of both Adam and Eve to the wilderness and both Lucifer and Lilith sent down, never to mend with humanity again. After Samael was freed from his detention, he went back to the Garden of Eden to find Lilith, only to find the eternal paradise dull and crumbled. After one of the angels told him that Lilith is now taken by Lucifer, he felt heartbroken, vowing to himself to never fall in love with the human.

But you may never know that Samael foreshadowed everything, especially when he doesn’t understand why he is chosen to be the weapon of God, until he finally accepted the reality Earth has faced - there is only duality, either face them or succumb to sin.

-

‘Annihilators’ is an organization of angels created by the Archangel Samael as a necessary option. It is believed to be the cursor after Adam and Eve’s disobedience against God by giving them death for their Original Sin. They are tasked to take the souls of the mortals only on a given date and time, whether they commit a sin or not out of a necessity - dubbing it as ‘Grim Reapers’ due to how the organization functions. It is also famous for the cause of The Great Flood, Fall of Babylon, and the Western Roman Empire’s Fall. It is restricted for the status of the second triad - Powers and Dominion - but female angels later were also allowed, as long as the physiques were met in the criteria.

Despite being well-known for the grim duties, it also became a center of controversy with the rise of casualties amongst innocent humans, and dubbing it as ‘pro-massacre’ and an enabler of extinction (the best example is Archangel Samael’s enactment of mass extinction in Sodom and Gomorrah, despite the fact that the civilization committed various sins). This is also met with a mixture of praise and criticism, due to Samael’s actions being a stain to the virtue and belief of the Ideal Paradise, while others defend his actions as a ‘necessity for God’s unyielding wrath’. After Samael’s ‘supposed fall’ (and didn’t become Lucifer), the concept of Annihilators were later banned and prohibited the citizens of the Heavenly Paradise to make a discussion about it, believing it may cause some disruptions - although it is widely speculated that the ‘Annihilators’ still functions without Samael’s guidance, as Azrael is now in charge of it.

(Spoiler) The concept of ‘Purge’ piqued Adina’s interest as she had witnessed thousands of crimes and sins committed by humanity alone for millenia. Perhaps, Adina decides to take a collaboration with the first Angel of Death to eliminate the wicked souls in Sheol, in the name of ‘Mercy’ alone.

I want to add more, but I need to take a break to review huhu.

Minor spoiler for The Amazing Digital Circus episode 8!

.

.

"But-but Hazbin only has 8 episodes per season! It doesn't have enough time to develop everything and everyone!!"

The Amazing Digital Circus needed only 8 episodes for this to feel believable and meaningful

While in Hazbin Hotel we have to debate over whatever Charlie not giving a shit about her father is because of her character, because of bad writing or because "they didn't waste time to show her kiss his boo boos". Or the fact that the Hotel crew don't feel close AT ALL after TWO. WHOLE. SEASONS.

Also, Hazbin has two seasons of 8 episodes each + 2/3 more seasons already confirmed. They have time. They have plenty of time. They just don't know how to use it

[snufflelandia]

It's funny how for you to get into heaven in hazbin

It's not putting your faith in God and repentance...

No it's jUsT Be A GOod gUY!!!

Ot has been an 8 year gap for this redraw from my cringe ass era called ‘Hetalia’.

[fawken]

Anyone else remember that weird MTV cartoon from the 00's about historical figures that got canceled for being too offensive???

[kimsj90]

Some Piri doodles I did before disappearing from the internet. Again. (I don’t bother to translate what she is saying as it’s like a very personal call out, so… i’ll edit it here if I have more time)

Some notes again:

- She is considered the Queen of Karaoke (eventually dubbed the best belter)

- She does the Selfie (cus Selfie Capital) with HWS Philippines

- She usually does have Siesta in the afternoon

- Despite being South East Asian, her culture is considered Asian, European, and Latin American (yeah, you could say she is the world’s diverse country, well, most of the countries do)

- She loves Mangoes (mainly Carabao Mango)

- ‘Maharlika was a name she idealized on branding herself as part of her anti-colonialism sentiment after WWII - bringing back the glorious past of gold and valor and being the top of Asia, but now, it became a dark and painful part of the nation’s history. It’s always for the best to not delve deeper into her deepest secrets, as she is very uncomfortable with that part. (unless she’ll become very open)’

(Just so you know, this is not 2ptalia, it’s more of an established part of history where a nation is either or neither good nor bad. It is not meant to be only black and white, but also has different shades of gray)

HWS Indonesia and Philippines belong to Hima

My Version of Philippines belong to me, ofc.

HETALIA PHILIPPINES (My Version)

Recently gone back to my roots of animes that I enjoy watching, and that is Hetalia. Been a fan back then and I was just like any other fan does, being a cringe fan of making my OC Philippines too OOC for its taste. Not to mention when I saw the official design of Philippines, I was excited. But growing up and mature enough, the official design of Philippines is fair to me. I can see why Hima decides to make Philippines a male, since ironically, Philippines is named after King Philip II of Spain (true), selfie stick with his phone on is accurate, as well as having an endangered specie, the Tarsier. But tbh, I want to make my version of Philippines but as a woman. I mean… we have few countries represented as female, so why not have more of them?

Some notes I did regarding my design

- I made Philippines a mixture of Austronesian and Negritos (because etymology speaking, Negritos arrived first before the migration of Austronesian from Taiwan)

- She wears a very well-known Baro’t Saya as a national attire (although historically speaking it evolves, while Barong Tagalog remains the same), what she wears is the typical Baro (Camisa, with inner top), and Saya (skirt with Tapis on it)

- She added the necklace with the image of Dr. Jose Rizal (as he is the nat’l hero of the Philippines) and a cross (due to the majority being Roman Catholic, thnx to Spain)

- She got her tattoos from Apo Wang Od because she wanted to go back to her original roots.

- In the right is the evolution of the Philippines, from the unnamed and fragmented islands to a single archipelago/ nation (my pet peeves when it comes to the evolution of the nation is how they maintained the same hair, which isn’t accurate considering how the evolution of fashion has been prominent)

- I consider naming her Maria Clara, but decided not to cause she is meant to be an ideal Filipina, and there are Filipino heroines that were not tackled (ex. Melchora Aquino, Gabriela Silang, Gregoria de Jesus), though I added Ma. just in case.

- Ma-l is the name coming from the Chinese records, according to the Laguna Copperplate, which is believed to be around 900 AD, or older than that.

- Her old surname has an addition of 'Carriedo', due to the time she is under Spain's rule, but she dropped the name down at the end of the Philippine Revolution, and changed it to Dimasalang.

- She has lots of wounds coming from colonisation to WWII, and she somehow heals some parts with the help of an albularyo, although she retains a huge scar on her abdomen.

- Of course, she kept her hair short, although she loves adding extensions if she needs to.

- Since pre-colonial times is a nameless archipelago, there are some kingdoms established, although they are NOT unified, like the Kingdom of Tondo, Sultanates of Sulu, Sugbu, Madjas-as, Tawalisi, Namayan, etc. so Pre-Colonial Philippines were pretty called differently, depending on who she is with. This is before the Spanish Colonization that she is given a name 'Filipinas'

Abel Is Not Totally Unaffected By Adam's Death

But I freaking wish this stupid series could actually convey it and actually make it so Adam did love his son in his own way even if he wasn't a good guy. Make these characters feel complex.

[angelcakes1947]

Because he a bad guy, and bad guys can't have anything to be complex.

[almacambiondaughterofsaleos]

They say this while saying making a comedic show of Angel's abuse is showing complexity. These people are dumb.

[kimsj90]

If I will be rewriting Abel, it’ll be the same as what the bible portrays him (a good sheperd), but since he is the first soul to be sent to the Hevanely Paradise, he is under the care of the angels. Abel didn’t have grudges against Cain, but really want to know why Cain was envious of him, that time he is unsure why Cain took out his anger to him.

Adam’s story should have been like this: after Cain killed Abel, Adam and Eve mourned for his son’s death, and Adam kicked Cain out from his family, cursing him to wander around the world, without his guidance. Until the moment Jesus’ sacrifice ascends Adam to the heaven did his grudge still hold true, as he saw humanity’s descent into corruption. Adam was a loving father, yes, but had to give justice for the victims he saw by threatening a corrupted one.

Adam’s family should have complexities, not a one dimensional personality.
