Hey, I'm KnightA3! You can call me Kani or A3 or Knight. Whatever really. I'm no good at "about me" stuff, but welcome to my blog! I like to draw and will sometimes mention sheep 🐑｜♀｜🖤🩶🤍💜｜LDS｜ Commissions CLOSED.
In the Heavenbound AU was Eve’s created from clay or Adam’s rib?
A mix of both, I guess? A rib isn't really enough to make another person. So some supplementary material would be needed.
Realistically, I think the whole idea of being created from dust/clay or from a rib is more of a metaphor or poetic/symbolic language for something else.
Eve's creation was described in Genesis 2:18—25.
God says it's not good for Adam to be alone, so he will make a companion. Then creates other animals from the ground and brings them to Adam to see what he would call them. But none of them was a suitable companion.
So God put Adam to sleep, took a rib from him, and created a woman. God brought her to Adam, and Adam proclaimed her "bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh," and called her woman "because she was taken out of man." None of the other creatures of the earth(ie from the ground) were compatible.
Remember that this was not originally written in English, and it's all more poetic in the original Hebrew...from what I can tell as someone who does not actually speak Hebrew. I just piece together what I can and hope I'm understanding correctly.
In Hebrew, the word for ground/soil/earth is adamah, mankind/human is adam. Which makes man being formed from the dirt/dust/soil/clay a fun play on words. Adam from adamah, man from dirt.
Man is ish, while woman is isha(or ishah, spelling seems to vary). Before the creation of the woman, only the word adam/human is used to describe Adam. Then she appears and it's ish and isha.
The Hebrew word for "rib" is tzela, which is more commonly translated as "side" in various other places in the Bible. So woman came from man's side, or isha from ish, like adam from adamha. Suggesting a relationship. He is one side, she is the other. It's not good for man to be alone, because he is incomplete without her.
To me, this does not imply woman's subservience. More like... adam/humanity is responsible for caring for adamha/earth, so ish/man is responsible for caring for the isha/woman. It is supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement; a partnership. I can't prove that I'm right, but until I find something compelling that suggests otherwise, that's my interpretation. Ish and isha become one adam that will one day return to be one with adamha.
Then the next verse immediately adds, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Which I think implies that all this poetic language was just to emphasize the significance of marriage. A person grows up, leaves their parents, and forms a partnership with their spouse.
Side note: Eve was not given the name Eve until after God confronted them about eating the forbidden fruit.
Considering that Lilith and Eve switched places in Heaven and Hell, is Lilith disguised as well?
Haven't totally decided, since I can see potential in both her being disguised and not. I'm leaning toward some kind of disguise that hides her demon form, but doesn't truely replace it since she didn't really get redeemed in order to get there.
This did inspire me to draw a few doodles of Lilith though. Which I'll post eventually. Just haven't inked them yet.
Also, I haven't actually seen Helluva Boss. It just doesn't interest me like Hazbin does. I only have a basic idea of the characters and plot, so I'll probably be freestyling more with them.
Draw your Charlie and Vaggie in their party dresses from the season 2 finale but your own take on them! (They are a hot mess ngl)
Hazbin Masterpost
So I just tried a few different options, and haven't decided on one. Feel free to share opinions on them.
I tried a few different styles that have the same general vibe as the ones from the show. The top row I kept closer to the original colors, just to focus on the style. I know I drew Vaggie reversed from the direction it was in the show. The way I had posed her for the drawing just worked better to show it that way. I can reverse it later if necessary.
Second row I just made a couple slight color adjustments. For example, I don't like the white edge of her top being right next to her literally white skin. Hot mess indeed. I also tried out some gloves and boots/leggings for Vaggie.
This next page was experimenting more with colors. I just picked a dress to use for it. It's not necessarily the one I settled on. For Vaggie, I think I'm leaning toward either the top middle or top right. For Charlie, I don't really know which I prefer.
Oh! Or I could do something for Vaggie where it's closer to her commercial outfit/pilot 30s dress.
There's also this one of Charlie that I posted back in January, where the idea was to give her something that helped add a royal flair to her formal wear. I'd have her do her hair up with this one too, of course.
And then I tried a bunch more things. Lost steam for color.
I meant a body swap wanting to see some funny reactions 🤣
Context
Do they physically switch places?
Charlie <--> Seth: The hotel is screwed. Seth does not want to be there. Charlie is fascinated by heaven and tries to promote the hotel.
Blossom <--> Adam: Adam would be trying very hard to get back to heaven because his family is there. But if it's a body swap, first thing he'd do is play with the boobs. It's just what men would do(source: my husband said so). 🤣
Lute<-->Vaggie: Hotel is screwed and Charlie panics without Vaggie.
Vox<-->Niffty: With Niffty, it's hard to predict what would happen. Val and Vel are in trouble with the chaos gremlin around. She might get a little bored without pests to kill, or messes to clean so she'll find something to do instead. Alastor either avoids Vox, or ragebaits him.
Lucifer <--> Abel: Lucifer tries to act cool, calm, and collected but fails miserably. Abel cowers and hides until someone reassures him. Charlie would be the first to try, although she might not succeed at first. I think she could get through to him with some time.
Val <--> Angie: I don't think it would be much different? Val is an abusive sex pest no matter what. The others might have to kick him out or lock him up while Charlie isn't looking. If there's a way for Angie to end their contract through this swap, then he might try to do that.
Normally I'd assume this type of ask was a scam bot, but since you called me Kani, instead of something generic or even just my username, I can start to believe you're at least a real person.
I'm not exactly comfortable with reblogging aid posts here. I don't know if it's genuine or a scam, and I don't have the energy to verify everything. I'm also not comfortable with including a hyperlink to it, so this is getting shared as a screenshot. If people really want to check it out, they can do so manually.
Overall, I don't want to be used as an advertising platform for others' fund raising endeavors, especially when I don't even know who you are. So unless there's a compelling reason, I probably won't answer asks like this again.
So I decided to revisit my Pentious redesign, because I had the idea of basing his color palette on copper and such to go with his steampunk theme. I did a previous poll to help narrow down my options. I have one that I'm more heavily leaning towards, but I want to see what people think too. I'm including the canon design and my old redesign for reference only.
So, Helluva Boss has come up in your Heavenbound AU... were you aware that biblically, Stolas is a fallen angel who worked with Lucifer? Because you might be interested in working that into the AU. Or not, since that would screw up the entire plot of Helluva Boss.
Stolas is not actually in the bible at all. He comes from occult traditions and demonology. I think the earliest mention of him is from the Renaissance era.
I believe his first appearance was in a 16th century book called the False Monarchy of Demons by a Dutch occultist.
Then he appeared in the Lesser Key of Solomon by an anonymous author in the 17th century. The first section is the Ars Goetia, which is heavily based off the False Monarchy of Demons. In both of them, he's described as a raven, but can appear in the shape of a man. He teaches astronomy and is knowledgeable in herbs and precious stones.
He finally took on the long-legged owl appearance in the Infernal Dictionary, written in the early 19th century by a French occultist. I think the astronomy, herbs, and precious stones tidbit carried over though.
In many traditions, all demons are fallen angels. When Lucifer rebelled and fell, he had convinced a lot angels to join him. So they all fell. The term "angel" comes from the Greek word for "messenger." It wasn't originally meant to refer to a race of heavenly beings. But that's how it's come to be used now. Which can lead to misunderstandings of biblical concepts like this.
Another theory, from some interpretations of Genesis and Jewish texts like the apocryphal Book of Enoch, believe demons are disembodied spirits. Either of a pre-Adamic race that was destroyed, or of Nephilim(children of angelic beings and human women, and often described as giants) that were killed in the Great Flood.
The gods and idols of non-Isrealite cultures would often be considered demons. Especially by the time of the New Testament.
Personally, I think demons are malevolent spirits(ie unclean spirits) that never had bodies of their own. They could have become people like us on earth, but instead chose to follow the devil(who is also a bodiless and malevolent spirit) and were cast out of heaven. So I kind of believe in something between the fallen angel and disembodied spirit versions.
There are actually very few demons named in the Bible. And most of the time, it's just used as an alternate way to refer to the devil and/or hell. Lucifer, Beelzebub, Satan, Abaddon/Apollyon, and Legion are some of the mentioned ones. With some caveats.
I got into another research rabbit hole, so I hope you enjoy my ramblings under the cut
--Lucifer-- Isaiah 14
In Isaiah 14, "morning star" is used to mock the fallen King of Babylon. The morning star(ie Venus) was used because it shone bright before quickly fading at dawn. The term was used in a poetic, and possibly ironic way. Babylon is often used as a symbol of pride(tower of Babel) or an oppressive regime(such as Rome, due to the Jewish history with the Babylonian Empire) or opposition to God (such as in the Book of Revelations).
Helel ben-Shahar was the hebrew term used. It translates to "shining one, son of the morning," which refers to the morning star, the brightest "star" in the sky(ie Venus). Helel means "shining one, light-bearer."
The Latin Vulgate translated the word as lucifer, which is derived from lux(light) and ferre(to bring), meaning light-bringer. Lucifer was the Latin name for Venus, because Venus signaled the coming of dawn.
The Greek Septuagint translates it to Heosphoros(bringer of dawn), which also referred to Venus as the morning star.
Some English translations took the Latin word lucifer and used it as a name. Other translations stayed away from "lucifer" and use some variation of "morning star" or "day star" or "son of the morning star."
The verse was eventually correlated with Satan's fall from heaven, turning lucifer into the name Lucifer and regarding it as the original name of the devil before his fall.
--Baal--
Baal is a semitic word meaning lord, master, or owner. Over time, it became a title to refer to deities in Canaanite and Phoenician pantheons, particularly fertility and storm deities. The deities could be traced back to Adad/Hadad in Mesopotamia. It can also be equated with Babylon's Bel, and Greece's Zeus. The title of Baal was compounded with a second word to indicate an attribute, place or manner of worship, or something the place possesses. Baal-zebub was the god of the city of Ekron. Baal-peor in Moab, Baal-berith in Shechem, etc. I'm not actually sure if they're all names for the same god, or if they evolved to become considered different gods.
Baal-zebub(aka Beelzebub) of Ekron. Lord of the Flies. God of healing and oracles.
Baal-peor of Moab/Midian. Lord of the Opening(referring to the cleft of Mount Peor). God of fertility and licentiousness. Baalpeor eventually evolved into Belphegor.
Baal-berith of Shechem/Nablus. Lord of the Covenant. The Israelites abandoned Yahweh and began to worship the local Canaanite god. Rabbinic traditions sometimes equate Baal-berith with Beelzebub. In later demonology, Baal-berith was reclassified as a demon named Berith that oversaw pacts with mortals.
In the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, Baal is used to refer to any gods that were not the Isrealite god, Yahweh. By the time of the New Testament, Baal became primarily associated with Beelzebub and equated with the devil. Later demonology reclassified Beelzebub as a demon.
--Satan--
Satan (Hebrew for adversary, opponent, accuser)is derived from the Hebrew term ha-satan, meaning "the aversary" or "the accuser" and was a title rather than a name. "Ha" means "the." Ha-satan, as opposed to plain satan, referred to a supernatural being(typically as part of a divine or heavenly council) that functioned as spiritual opposition or prosecution. "Satan" wasn't used as a name for the personification of evil(ie the devil) until around the New Testament.
--Abaddon-- Mentioned in Revelations
Abaddon(Hebrew): The word means destruction, doom, or ruin. In the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, Abaddon is a poetic term to describe the most hopeless and miserable state of the afterlife as a place of destruction. It's synonymous with "the grave," and refers to the underworld/hell.
It's used in Revelations to personify a demonic entity, described as the Angel of the Abyss/bottomless pit. The Greek equivalent, Apollyon, is a title meaning "The Destroyer." It's referring to the devil again.
--Legion-- New Testament Gospels
Legion is probably the most explicit example of a demon, rather than an alternate name for the devil or hell. But it's not actually a single demon.
In the Bible, a man was tormented and possessed by demons that made him very dangerous to both himself and others. When asked for its name, the demons replied collectively, "My name is Legion, for we are many." A legion was the largest unit of the Roman army, made up of 3,000 to 6,000 soldiers. Jesus cast the demons into a herd of pigs(this was a gentile/non-Jewish area), which immediately ran into a lake and drowned.
--Azazel-- Mentioned in Leviticus 16
A scapegoat ritual was/is performed on the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). Two goats would be selected. One was to be sacrificed as a sin offering for the Lord, and the other for Azazel and would be symbolically given the sins of the people and sent to a desolate place in the wilderness(interpreted as a rugged mountain). At some point, the tradition became to drive it off a cliff so it couldn't return. The point was to send the sins back to the spirit of desolation/demon of the desert they came from.
The term Azazel is often regarded as a compound of "az" meaning strong or rough, and "el" meaning mighty, and ultimately referring to a strong mountain.
Another supposed compound comes from "ez" or "az" meaning goat, and "azal" meaning to go away(ie escape). Forming the term scapegoat.
Another interpretation connects it with the fallen angels "Uza" and "Azael." So the sacrifice of the goat was meant to atone [the people?] for the sins of those angels.
In the Apocryphal Book of Enoch, Azazel is a fallen angel who taught mankind the art of warfare, deception, witchcraft, and brought sin. He was the rebellious leader of the Nephilim before the great flood, and was chained to a mountain to await the Day of Judgment when he will be cast into the fire. Which sounds like another iteration of the devil to me.
--Asmodeus-- Not biblical, but bible-adjacent
Asmodeus is apocryphal, from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit. In the story, a virgin named Sarah was married, but Asmodeus killed the husband before the consummation of the marriage. And this happened seven times, until Tobias(the eighth husband) and the angel Raphael overcome him with smoke from a fish heart and liver. Asmodeus was presumably driven by jealousy and lust. Or God allowed the husbands to be killed because they had impure intent.
He also appears a few times in the Talmud(Rabbinical text considered secondary to the Hebrew Bible/Tanakh). Asmodeus turns his desires to Bathsheba and later Solomon's wives. He replaces King Solomon for some time, before Solomon returns and Asmodeus flees.

There's probably more that I'm missing, but I think I've spent enough time with this particular rabbit hole.

who would you rank hazbin hotel & heavenbound in how acruate their in the Bible and your reason for the ranking
Hmm. So I think I need to first explain what Biblical means so we can be on the same page. It gets kinda complicated, especially if you don't already have some level of biblical knowledge.
--TLDR;--
When I say Bible, I'm referring to the Protestant 66-book canon; and when I say something is apocryphal, I just mean it is not in the protestant Bible(whether it's from dueterocanon, various religious traditions, folklore, pop culture, etc).
The Hellaverse is 1/5 for biblical accuracy. The biblical references are there, but lots of it is either subverted tropes, artistic liberty, or misconceptions.
My Heavenbound AU is a 2/5. I put a little more focus on integrating biblical references with the general lore of the hellaverse, while also putting my own spin on it. There's theological background mixed with fiction.
The long version will be under the cut
--Bible--
The Bible is not a single book. The word "bible" is Latin for library, so Bibles are collections of books considered to be of divine origin, particularly in Judeo-Christian cultures. There are different variations of the biblical canon depending on the religious denomination.
The Hebrew Bible (also called the Tanakh or Miqra/Mikra) and is the basis for the Christian Old Testament. There are two major sources the Hebrew Bible is drawn from: Hebrew Masoretic Texts, and Greek Septuagint. Modern Rabbinic Jews and Protestants use translations based on the Masoretic Texts as their authoritative versions. The Catholic and Eastern churches use the Septuagint as theirs.
When we talk about the Bible, we generally imagine the Protestant 66-book canon(39 in the Old Testament, 27 in the New Testament). The Old Testament(ie pre-Jesus) is based on the Hebrew Bible, particularly the Masoretic Texts. Protestants consider the books outside of their 66 as "apocryphal." Some Protestant Bibles will include a section referred to as "The Apocrypha," which includes books from the Catholic dueterocanon.
Catholics have a 73-book Bible(46 in the Old Testament, 27 in the New Testament), which includes dueterocanonical books. To put it simply(but keep in mind that this isn't the only reason), books that are in both the Septuagint and Masoretic Text are considered canon, while books that are only in the Septuagint are considered dueterocanon(ie secondary canon). The New Testament is the same as the Protestant Bible.
Eastern Christian churches recognize more books, and I start getting confused here. The Ethiopian Orthodox church has an 81 book canon, I think. But they don't have a comprehensive version of the bible that includes them all. Some books are apparently hard to find despite being considered canon.
There are a ton of different English translations for the Bible. I mostly use the King James Version(KJV) which has all the thees and thous and that type of language. I grew up with it, so I like to think I have a decent grasp on it(I don't find many fics that use Zestial's speech patterns correctly, which irks me more than it should). There are so many translations because there is no perfect way to translate anything. Translation is a balance of the literal translation of the words, and a localized interpretation that carries a similar meaning. Like, a wordplay pun does not translate well into another language. So the translators have to use a different joke that has a similar humorous effect in that language.
The Bible gets misinterpreted a lot because so many people don't take into consideration the historical and cultural context that it was written in. It was written by Hebrew people, in an ancient middle eastern society. They use symbolic language and metaphors that would have made sense to them, but often doesn't make sense to us because we live in a different time, place, and circumstance.
To make things even more confusing, I'm LDS and have a couple other sets of scripture I will often refer to(such as the Book of Mormon, etc). But those are not considered part of "The Bible," and I try to be clear when I'm straying from strictly biblical sources.
--Hellaverse--
I'll use a scale of 0-5, because 1-10 isn't necessary.
0. No attempt at biblical accuracy.
1. Biblical references with little regard for accuracy
2. Biblical references with some regard for accuracy
3. Trying to tell bible stories, but either poorly researched or heavily simplified. (Ex. children's versions like VeggieTales, or Hollywood dramatizations like Noah(2014).
4. Trying to respectfully tell bible stories with some research, but some inaccuracies or artistic liberties taken. (Like DreamWorks' Prince of Egypt, or the Ten Commandments)
5. Heavily researched with the intent to make it as historically and theologically accurate as possible.
I'd put the Hellaverse at a 1/5. There are biblical and apocryphal elements. But the focus is on telling its own story with its own lore, with some biblical inspiration.
Bible knowledge is not actually that great in the general population(even among Christians), so a lot of elements are just things that people assume are biblical because of the passive cultural influence Christianty has had on western society for centuries.
Some of it is intentional subversion. The story itself uses bible tropes to help build and subvert the typical audience expectations. Culturally, we associate hell with evil and heaven with righteousness. But to help punctuate a point, Hazbin adds good in hell(Lucifer is misunderstood, and Charlie believes sinners can be redeemed), and wickedness in heaven(like the exterminations—especially Adam and Lute).
Some of the inaccuracies seem to be from general misconceptions about what is actually in the bible or misunderstanding what the message is supposed to be. (Some examples: Lilith isn't a character in the Bible and was not Adam's wife. Eve did not damn humanity/the world by eating the fruit. The ancient Israelites were not as strictly monotheistic as modern Christianity. Cain is not immortal. The word "lucifer" was never explicitly used to refer to "the devil" and wasn't even a name, the creedal interpretation of the Trinity was never defined in the text, 666 represents the Roman Emperor Nero, "biblically accurate angels" are not actually biblically accurate, etc, etc.)
--Heavenbound--
I'd probably give it a 2/5. It's still a Hazbin AU, so it won't be accurate. I just injected a little more biblical stuff in there to suit my preferences. My goal was to add some good faith nuance to the critiques that I think Hazbin is trying to make about Christian culture. I think it's more interesting that way.
😎 Hey dude, how are your sheep doing these days? I hope they’re doing alright, because sheeps, rams, and goats are my favorite animals. I’m a fan of your Heavenbound AU and I enjoy reading your posts about your incredible knowledge of the bible.
🐑 fellow sheep lover!
I'm glad people appreciate my bible research! A lot of it comes from my LDS religious background. Then a lot of it comes from research rabbit holes as I've been developing my AU. :) There's a lot to learn from the historical, linguistic, and cultural context of the bible, which can get overlooked in many religious circles. I'm not an expert by any means, I just enjoy learning about it. One of my methods is honestly to just Google a lot and see what different websites say about it. General rule of thumb is that the more consistently a piece of info appears in different places, the more likely it is to be true. Not always the case, of course, but still.
Sheep update under the cut
The sheep seem alright right now. I had to get a vet to look at Chloe, because she got an absess on her face that needed to be drained. It might be a situation where he recommends culling her. But I just recently had to put down her sister, Ewelie, because of a spinal injury(she couldn't walk). 😭 And Chloe is one of the easiest to handle, and very friendly. The benefit of bottle raised ewes. So I don't want to cull her. Anyway, below is a before and after Chloe's vet visit.
Don't mind the calf, lol. That's my father in law's bottle calf. Chloe doesn't seem fond of him. Maybe because he tries to nurse off her? Even though I'm pretty sure he's already been weaned off milk. He doesn't even aim for the udder.
Chloe is also pretty skinny, and the sloppy shearing job just exaggerates it. So we've separated her from the rest to give her some extra attention(the lambs are plenty old enough to wean, and didn't even complain as much as I expected). My father in law has been trying to put some weight on her with some grain, but it hasn't been working, so we might try deworming in case it's a parasite issue.
See how the wool is much shorter in the hollowed out spot than it is just above it? She's still skinner than I'd like, but it makes her look worse than she is.
Oreo is my ram, and he was my bottle baby because his mom is a jerk who rejected him. He's been spoiled rotten and I have to be careful around him. He's a big boy now and probably weighs twice as much as me. He's frustrated that he can't get to his girlfriend because of a fence, even though they're right next to each other.
Skullery was uncooperative and wouldn't get in the trailer, so she missed the shearing. She's half hair sheep, and I wasn't sure if she would naturally shed, or need shearing. But I think she's shedding. So it may have worked out. Although I hear they could sometimes use a shearing their first time. I haven't had hair sheep before, so idk.
She had wool(?) On her chest until recently. Feels like I blinked and it was gone. I think she's figured out how to escape, but can't get back in. She won't go far by herself though, so I'm not too worried. The black lamb is hers. His name is Jack, aka Captain Black Jack. Jack is friendly, but a pest. He's developing a habit of headbutting if I don't give him attention.
Above is the two oldest lambs, Sylvester(left) and Eevee(right). Their mom was Ewelie, who I miss very much. Sylvester is a pest like Jack is.
Below is Scott and Dallas, they sometimes lay down next to me. These two are Chloe's lambs, and they like to stick together.
Everyone tried to pile in the calf hutch, not sure why. Eevee also wanted to join, but she's skittish around me and I was in the way. Then Skullery and Sylvester left and it was just the three lambs: Scott, Dallas, and Jack.
So I have Skullery, Sylvester, Eevee, Scott, Dallas, and Jack together. Then Chloe and Oreo kind of together.
Just the other day, we had a water irrigation line leak a little. By a little, I mean it was blasting water into the orchard that I keep the sheep in. We had to turn the line off at the storage pond and just let it finish draining before it could be fixed. The orchard, which we normally run sprinklers on, got some unplanned flood irrigation.
My parents' ewes had their lambs in mid-April. Cotton-Eye lambed first, and it's her first time. She had two, but one was already dead when my family found them. The surviving one was tiny, and kept getting lost in obscure places. They were a little worried he wouldn't make it, but he's still around. Named him Jazz.
Lemon lambed next, and also had two. Again, one was already dead by the time my family found them, which is a shame because she's a good mom and has plenty of milk. She's an experienced mother, and apparently it looked like it should've been fine. So we don't know what happened. Both of hers were pretty big. The surviving one is a boy named Mammoth.
Gabby is a bad mom, and it's a wonder they still have her. She has consistently accepted only one of her lambs, and rejected the second. I have tried to get her to accept both, but it always seems like she'll take both that night(clean them both off and let them get colostrum), then one is cowering in the corner by morning. Leaving me to bottle raise the one she just decided she didn't like. By some miracle, she only had one this time, so no rejects this time. Hers is a girl and named Bees.
Oreo is the dad for all of them. Just don't acknowledge that Cotton-Eye is his half-sister. Or that Gabby is his mom. We aren't keeping the lambs, so it won't be a problem.
Here's a picture of them when they were first born. First picture is Cotton Eye and Jazz(such a tiny baby). Second is Lemon and Mammoth(mostly focused on him). Third is Gabby and Bees(she is a more normal size compared to Jazz). I had nothing to do with naming these lambs.
Below is a more recent shot of Lemon with Mammoth. Cotton-Eye and Jazz are behind them.
Finally, a group picture of my parent's sheep. Lemon is in the very front(she's my favorite of them), Mammoth just behind her. Gabby and her lamb Bees are just behind Mammoth. Cotton-Eye is in the very back, and her lamb Jazz is on the right side.
I respect Alastor for his resourcefulness. He solved his own problem all by himself in Hazbin Hotel season 2. Rosie underestimated Alastor’s desperation to be free from her. Alastor was in a stressful situation and he almost lost hope for his freedom. But Alastor is stubborn to the point that he’s never giving up on his goals and most importantly his freedom to do whatever he wants with his demonic powers!
Alastor thought of a sinister plan that would free his soul from Rosie and get rid of his rival Vox at the same time. Charlie Morningstar was the key for his soul to be free, thanks to the “favor” she owed him back in season 1 episode 7. Alastor had to be patient and wait for the perfect moment to cash in his favor from Charlie during the finale of season 2.
Alastor is a resourceful genius and he’s a bad@$$ for challenging Vox the new strongest sinner in Hell to a fight! 😆
I don't think he ever really "lost hope." He was definitely frustrated though. Rosie owning his soul was always meant to be temporary. Unless she didn't actually want that certain task done and just used it to dangle a carrot in front of his nose the whole time. But that seems a bit convoluted for this type of story, so I don't see a point in doing that instead of just having her own his soul outright. He could still break the deal the same way. She must genuinely need him for this task of hers.
Point is, even if it took centuries, there was always a way out for him and he knew that. But he was getting restless because he wasn't satisfied with how Rosie held her end of the bargain. He was promised power(and I personally think he didn't need her help to be the most powerful sinner. He just didn't know that when he was still human), so the moment he actually needed her to uphold her end(ie fix his staff), she refused and told him to do it on his own.
If he was going to do it on his own anyway, then he might as well put himself in a position to have more bargaining power. It's sneaky, but not the most sinister thing he's done.
Yanno, I don't think he had any specific plans for Charlie's favor. He just wanted to have it as a potential resource in his pocket. He hadn't even thought of his deal-breaking plan until mid season 2, let alone how that favor would play into it.
What does it even mean to be the strongest sinner? When Vox supposedly held the title, Alastor was still able to beat him(even while Alastor was still weakened). Vox only got the upper hand because of Shock.wav. It was mostly the public perception that changed once Charlie said Vox was the strongest. I think Alastor just needed other people to think someone else was the strongest in order to prove that Rosie wasn't keeping her end of their deal.
The opening scene of Hazbin Hotel season 3 should be a flashback of the day Lilith arranged a meeting with Adam and this is the reveal of why she disappeared eight years ago. This could also explain the specific details of their deal and why Lilith is not allowed to talk to her family, or maybe she doesn’t want to speak to her family? (Lucifer & Charlie)
I doubt it would be the opening scene. Answering so many longstanding questions that early would be way too quick.
