Hazbin Hotel: Elements of Harmony AU:
@periguita @kitsunesongs I did a bunch of polls for this a while ago to get other's thoughts on what the character's Elements of Harmony would be! Or is it Hell-ements of Harmony?
Despite Charlie seeming to be the more outwardly obvious candidate for the Element of Magic, Alastor was ultimately the one who got everyone together, the plot moving forward and with whom without everything falls apart.
If there is anyone who needs to 'learn about friendship' like Twilight Sparkle, it's going to be Mr 'There Are No Friends In Hell But Sure Let Me Take Care Of Those Gangsters To Whom You Owe Money Free Of Charge' Alastor the Radio Demon.
Rosie idly comments upon first meeting him that he has 'a special soul', just like Twilight Sparkle has a special cutie mark that caught Celestia's attention being the shape of her Element of Magic.
Alastor is literally the Magic Man; performing REAL magic on Earth in the flashback, executing feats that were before considered impossible regularly before his arrival in Hell and casually uses magic while other characters like Angel Dust, Sir Pentious and even an angel like Vaggi herself seem limited to comparatively normal human feats.
Charlie would be Kindness:
Charlie is literally the Disney Princess Archetype whose kingdom just so happens to be Hell. Kindness and musical numbers come with the territory.
Charlie has admitted to Vaggi to having additional motives behind the Hotel -and that may be disenchanting to some- but we must remember what Charlie is still choosing to help others when she does not have to. The Hotel's goal in the story is to redeem sinners and get them to Heaven in hopes of ending a genocide. A genocide that was allowed by a father who ensured that the Exorcists cannot harm her in any way. Charlie could've tried any number of SAFER things to get her missing mother's attention, yet she still chose to do it in the nicest, gentlest way possible.
Charlie is kind to the point of naïvety. Her managing to hold onto that innocence and idealism in such a toxic place is genuinely an incredible feat.
A good chunk of her mistakes in the series were made due her lack of empathy, not a lack of compassion.
Angel Dust would be Generosity:
This was a struggle as Kindness and Generosity are so similar I was initially unsure of who should be what, but ultimately decided generosity, as Angel Dust has made a lot of personal sacrifices throughout the series, and certainly doesn't have much left to give.
This may even include the Sin that Angel Dust believes landed him in Hell; killing his own father, which many including myself believe to been done in defence of his twin sister Molly.
One of the first things we see Angel Dust do is dive right into the middle of a turf war despite the risk of losing his new rent-free residence because his bestie was involved. Cherri outright calls him out on this but he brushes it off.
Angel's greatest challenge in the story and the key to escaping Valentino is learning to value himself. In other words, to be as generous to himself as he is to others.
Her results in the poll were the most clear-cut! It is just that obvious.
Vaggi is 100% devoted to Charlie, to the point a common complaint about her character is that she doesn't have much going for her outside of Charlie. I do not think this is a writing flaw, but rather a natural character flaw from being an exiled soldier of a genocidal cult. Heck, the second season had her taking baby steps in forging a new identity for herself with giving herself a name other than the one Adam gave her and even finally standing up to Charlie.
Speaking of, Vaggi's increasing willingness to stand up to Charlie is an important part of being truly loyal to someone. If your friend is about to run into burning building you don't just stand back and wave them off. You stop them, otherwise you might as well have pushed them into the deadly flames yourself.
It would it be such a middle finger to the Exorcists who had abandoned her for being 'a traitor'. That alone is enough reason for me!
Husk is often brutally honest, both for the best, like when he sang 'Loser, baby' with Angel Dust, and the worst, when he somewhat insensitively exposed other characters personal issues to make a point to (again) Angel Dust (which could've been a big mistake considering Angel is an unknowing spy).
He is incredibly observant and usually the first to notice when something is off, almost like he has a 'Truth Sense'. To date, he is the only one to figure out that Alastor was on a leash.
One of the most sensible of the Misfits- provided his main vices of alcoholism and gambling aren't involved- and is very self-aware of his own flaws. Even if he's initially wrong, like when he claimed that Angel doesn't need him, he will admit when he's made a mistake.
Niffty would be Laughter:
Like Pinkie Pie, Niffty is incredibly energetic and capable of moving at Ludicrous Speed.
Niffty has admitted to genuinely believing in Charlie's dream of redemption through her song! Too bad no one seemed to understand her.
Despite her obvious mental instability she is one of the few characters able to get a genuine smile from Alastor and freely touch him without revulsion. That speaks to the levels of joy she capable of bringing to her friends!
Niffty is outright meant to sound like Pinkie Pie with her even being voiced by the same voice actor as Pinkie's G5 successor, Kimiko Glenn!
The Elements of Harmony are Holy Relics forged by God Themself to combat their polar opposite and their wicked creations. Them suddenly being bonded to One Hellborn, One Fallen Angel and four Sinners is enough to send Sera into a paranoid frenzy about how Hell has stolen their greatest defence and is clearly planning an attack!
Perhaps the previous wielders of the Elements included Sera and Lucifer and the other archangels.
The Speaker of God (or Anastasia) could act in the mentoring role like Princess Celestia.
