YES

FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS

THANK YOU

[sapphorror]

the key thing about radiobelle to me that I desperately need more people to appreciate is that before Alastor is anything else (a mentor, a father figure, a friend) he is Charlie's Mephistopheles. He's an avatar of dangerous temptation that might make her dreams come true and might bring them crumbling down, most likely both at once, and she's dancing with him anyway because she's arrogant enough to believe that she can safely toe the line. This was the original context their relationship was introduced in and while it has grown to encompass far more since then, that basic idea has never stopped being relevant. there is a fundamentally predatory aspect to their dynamic offset only by the fact that charlie, despite all appearances, is much more than mere prey, in some sense having become as much of a threat to him as he is to her. And of course this is all underlaid by the irony of the former mortal (who himself made a very classically faustian bargain in life) playing the temptation to the daughter of the literal devil.

[legendsofold]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the "Alastor seduced his victims when he was alive" theory just really doesn't do Alastor justice. Like, I'm not saying that seduction couldn't be something that he would try, but I don't think that it would be something he did normally to lure in his next victim if he could help it, mostly because where's the fun in that? Seduction requires so little effort on Alastor's part, which I doubt he, who loves hitting people where it hurts them most, would find satisfying or entertaining. It also doesn't make Alastor look very good if we're assuming that most of his kills consisted of men, since that means that Alastor likely was going around regularly killing gay men.

If Lute is Eve, and Adam does come back, if the moment Adam realizes who Lute really is doesn't include a recreation of these two frames then I don't want it

I'm not trying to "fix" the original design, I just wanted to have some fun

HERE WE GO. OH BOY OH BOY. I LOCKED TF IN and finished it now. Little bit late from my usual time, but i really can't wait myself to drop this angsty brick on you. I'm not throuwing it right now, just weighting it in my hand menacingly and kissing it mockingly

Totally real repulsed ace experience, thinking that maybe you're not as repulsed and can give it a try for your partner, but when it comes to it, you realise that NO, ACTUALLY, YOU DON'T WANT THIS AT ALL. And feeling stupid for being scared.... not like i went through any of it, but i just have good imagination. I've never even had a partner.

Um, anyway. Alastor got in it on his own, because of his poor judgement of himself...

Something that would significantly elevate hazbin hotel in my eyes is if the show actually made us fall in love with the hotel itself, like the actual physical building as a place that can be lived in, as a home and a sanctuary for our main cast of characters in all its dingy, shabby, rundown glory.

I want to know just how many floors it has and see the many, many rooms on each one; not just the main crew's bedrooms but other rooms you'd expect a hotel to have like a cafeteria, kitchen, swimming pool, along with other rooms and areas like a gym, movie theater, greenhouse/garden, library, that sort of thing. A majority of the episodes could feature the hazbin crew just taking care of the hotel together(or maybe fighting to keep it clean would be a better term), and the construction of new rooms as the hotel gains more visitors, volunteers and staff.

If you want to make things even more interesting have the building itself be somewhat magical, maybe semi-sentient in a way that the other buildings in hell aren't. Rooms and hallways that did not exist before suddenly appear and disappear without warning, some of these said rooms being a little backrooms-esque and reflecting the minds and souls of those who enter, though often not entirely accurate to reality. Some of these lead to passages that delve deep underground, leading to hidden secrets. If so, we could give the hotel a kind of backstory of its own to explain why.

Maybe it was originally built by Lucifer and was abandoned for a long time before Charlie decided to make it into her hotel, but it's still got some of the weird, magical quirks that come with being a magical building created by Lucifer that the hotel crew have to deal with on a regular basis.

Something else I'd find interesting to see is if the hotel was, despite being something of a wild card, one of the few actual safe spaces in hell and that's what draws a lot of sinners to it at first. Most buildings in the pentagram never last long as they're usually blown up or burnt to the ground due to terf wars and the like within a few months, or if they're especially lucky, a few years following their original construction. That's just hell for you. Nothing lasts.

But the Hazbin Hotel is different. Yeah, it's a little rough around the edges and not always in the best condition, it's all too content to throw a couple surprises your way and has certainly had a few holes blown in it from time to time but it is free rent, and most importantly unlike almost all the other buildings in the pentragram, its managed to stand firm against all the surrounding chaos that's ensued over the years and has never fallen once. It just utterly refuses to die. Just as strange and even miraculous, the hotel seems to have the ability to heal itself, reforming brick, wood, concrete and the like that was previously destroyed as if it were a living entity rebuilding tissue or torn skin. One of the only other buildings in the entire pentagram that's managed to last longer and has similar self-healing properties, is the heaven embassy building.

Aside from the fact of it being a safe space, some sinners could come to the hotel simply because they are so interested in the building itself and want to figure out how it's managed to last for so long and what on earth is up with it. Baxter could be one of these sinners, not believing in redemption but utterly fascinated by the actual building enough to stay.

The TADC fandom has a huge misogyny problem in favor of babying Jax.

the vivziepop ass-kisser posting a 10min video trashing on a female character who did nothing wrong (but stood in the way of the fan-fav toxic male character)? fork found in kitchen!

[legendsofold]

TIL(well, more like yesterday but whatever) apparently there's an official hazbin hotel pilot sound design video on youtube and I am VERY interested in whatever is going on right here

[legendsofold]

Also, "the radio has told us there it lives behind the moon something sleeps there and cares not for our affairs" has got me raising an eyebrow.

Maybe it's actually a prison designed to contain Roo and Alastor is connected to her somehow, maybe through Rosie?

i know everyone is tired of hearing it from me but i'll never be free from how people think you can only ship a het ship WOKELY if the man is a pathetic useless idiot and the girl babysits and pegs him and has the personality of a door. i promise you won't get your woke card revoked if you spend five minutes of your time to consider the girl has a personality and the guy might be a competent person. and maybe she likes getting dicked down and is a little pathetic too. have you considered also liking the girl and maybe wanting her to be a spoiled baby too? also I'll Kill You

[renegadeblue18-deactivated20260]

okay but have we considered that we can also WANT more het ships to have confident and bossy women? I can not like the heteronormative dynamic of “petite naive girl with her strong and dependable man,” AND also dislike the “she’s the intelligent one that babysits him” dynamic because those are both misogynistic stereotypes (submissive woman VS women are emotionally intelligent and reign in their more wild husbands).

I REALLY do not like this reactionary culture shift away from “Girl power!” “Girls can do anything boys can!” into shit like “omg she’s just a girl teehee” “pathetic girlfailure wants her daddy heehee” it feels like such an intentional regression back into “women need to be put in their place”. I’ll take a million stale girlboss/pathetic man ships ANY DAY over going back to “divine femininity that must be pampered and spoiled and NEVER in charge 🥰💖”

blegh

[cadybear420]

I especially hate the “Yeah how about the woman liking to take dick for a change!” response because that’s like. Majority of hetero sex portrayals everywhere. Both in canon het couples and in fanon portrayals. Even with more femdom/female-led relationships. It’s like, flick a pebble you’ll hit 100.

Yes, there are a lot of weird attitudes people have about hetnorm sex roles, and by no means do I agree with the sentiment that they’re inherently misogynistic or anything like that. But some of y’all need to understand that in the grand scheme of things, it’s still seen as the default normal for cishet sex and makes up the majority of cishet sex portrayals. Soooo idk, acting like a woman enjoying hetnorm sex would be some kind of subversion of or fresh change from “she pegs him” scenarios (even if a lot of the “she pegs him” scenarios do treat it as just a femdom humiliation kink/joke or as a #girlboss thing) comes off a little weird. And there are better ways to address the problem of people thinking hetnorm sex is “anti-woke”.

You know what WOULD be a nice change to see? More people treating pegging + strap-ons + women topping men + men bottoming women as a normal form of cishet sex. Both the “pegging bad where are girls who actually like dick” crowd and the “she pegs him to dominate him and put him in his place like a #girlboss” crowd clearly see pegging as unnatural abnormal cishet sex and just a kink extending from femdom and humiliation.

This is such a "Let Men Be Masculine" type of post. Such a "Let Women Be Feminine" type post.

Most m/f ships in media still have the man be the more competent one. Do I agree that fandom can exaggerate tropes and make the woman personality-less? Sure. I do think "girlboss and malewife" is a bit overplayed to some extent and done without regard for the actual characters. But in canon, it's still typically men who are the ones getting things done.

"Let the woman be a little pathetic!" We have entire tropes dedicated to it. Damsel In Distress, Neutral Female, a good portion of the Moe genre are all dedicated to emphasizing women as weak, vulnerable, and in need of protecting. "Girlfailure" was and still kind of is a 'thing' in many fandoms.

"Well *I* don't find pathetic men sexy!" That's perfectly fine and totally within your right. Some people do. They still make competent non-pathetic non-loser men, I promise you they didn't go away just because a bunch of autistic teenage girls are writing fanfiction about "boyfailures" and "malewives".

Yeah I do think fandom gets super annoying and obnoxious with running compelling tropes into the ground but oh my god this post sounds so Republican. "It just reads 'I want women to be the new men'" Because they're competent and engage in penetrative sex? Are you hearing yourselves?

[spookycriticalblog]

Every time I think about helluva boss season two ending like a 14 year old wattpad fanfic I start to laugh uncontrollably because what do you mean in the final episode of this season loona turns into a realistic wolf Millie finds out she’s pregnant and stolas is living with blitzo and having his fanfiction moment all happens in the same episode 

[legendsofold]

I find it so weird when I see people be like "If Lute really was Eve, wouldn't Lucifer recognize her?" because, uh, no? According to this theory, the very reason no one refers to her as Eve is because she is in disguise and is trying to keep her identity a secret. Her appearance has very likely been altered to make sure that no one recognizes her, therefore it makes perfect sense that Lucifer doesn't. If anything it shows just how good a job she's been doing at hiding her identity for all this time. Besides, if Adam, her own husband, didn't recognize her on sight, I seriously doubt that Lucifer would, who mind you likely hasn't seen Eve in millennia at this point.

[legendsofold]

platonic radiodust would be so great tho. Like I really think they would make a fantastic duo, especially a comedic one.

[ari-eatsdonuts]

istg ppl and even viv herself saying that charlie and alastor's relationship is father-daughter like will never not be funny to me

Let's be real they are ANYTHING but father daughterly

If my quote on quote "fatherly buisness partner" or whtever behaved like this i would tell him to stop

[just-a-mall-rat]

A fun concept that would’ve been a completely different story is if Charlie’s emphasized trait is her being non-human.

Charlie’s design could be kept and could signify that she is trying to relate to humans but doesn’t understand them. (Personally I’d keep the theme of a humanoid object and do something different, but still-) It could be a way to explain why she doesn’t know how redemption works without writing her as childish. I really wanted her to be written as old as she actually is! Charlie could be able to read situations, but overcorrects when putting trust in people. Another reason could be how extremely different her life is. She lived longer than any human, never had typical growth/change experiences, and never lived in the mortal realm. This information should inform all interactions she has with characters. I think it would also be why so many people didn’t take the hotel seriously or thought it was for something else! What would a demon know about humanity and being good? Charlie could have a moral system that is drastically different and may have committed a lot of bad things in the past, but tries to be better. I think it would be fun to write her as very off-putting but well meaning because she doesn’t know how to be good from the standards of everyone else.

Maybe a bulk of the story could be about Charlie building the hotel and attempting to learn from humans about how to make it work. The beginning portion could be a test for the real thing, but the guests unintentionally learn more about themselves along the way.
