The sun shines through the cracks of the curtains, providing a dimly lit bedroom. The small bit of light managed to make its way to my face. I scrunched my nose and turned around on the bed. I let out a small muffled groan and slowly opened my eyes.
Honestly, I'd expected to see the same empty bedroom I've always had. Instead I was met with small yellow eyes staring directly back into mine, I immediately sat up.
It's one of the egg guys Sir Pentious brought with him last night. He must've came over this morning. I smiled at not only the new information, but also the adorable egg boy in front of me. He just sat there on my bed and looked at me with a goofy smile. "I've never seen a living person before!" He spoke goofily.
I opened my mouth to say something, but then heard some shuffling from the other side of the room. Looking over I saw the demon himself digging through my closet. I quickly made sure to properly cover myself with the blanket. "Hey- what are you doing??" I called to the demon.
He stopped and quickly turned around, an equally shocked look on his face. "I- uh, I-" He sputtered for a moment. "I am... looking for one of my egg bois!" He suddenly spoke with the shake of his head, though even I could tell he wasn't too sure of that himself. "Yes, he jumped into your closet!"
I raised an eyebrow at the reasoning, but before I could say anything, one of the egg bois suddenly blurted. "I thought you were looking for a weapon, or something that proves the Liver has different plans!" As he gestured to me. Sir Pentious bit his bottom lip in cartoony frustration.
"Shut up!!" He shouted, pointing a finger at the poor egg. The little guy pouted. I gasped and reached down to pat his shell, and he looked at me with a smile like he just forgot what happened. I turned back to Sir Pentious. "Soooooo... weapons? Something that proves I have 'different plans'?" I provoked curiously.
He just sighed dramatically and frustratingly, putting a hand over his face. "How else am I supposed to know if you want to betray me or not!" He pulled on the skin of his face as he explained. I blinked slowly and mumbled. "Well I don't... is the thing.." Honestly I don't even think I'm capable of physically harming him if I tried, but something tells me saying that wouldn't make him feel any less distrustful.....
"And HOWWW do you expect me to just trust you like that?" With a huff he crossed his arms and turned his back to me. 'The dramatics with this guy, oh my god...' I held in a giggle at the thought. "Maybeeeee because I let you roam free in my place, seems pretty intimate.. I'm sure if I was planning to kill you I wouldn't have done that..." I tried to tease, although it wasn't really appreciated.
He didn't budge. He just stayed silent.
I sighed. 'This isn't going as well as I hoped..' It never even crossed my mind that the demon would have trust issues, but I guess what I summon is what I get so I shouldn't get upset. This could be.. fixable. He just needs a little encouragement!
"...how about some trust exercises, y'know like get to know each other? Tell me about yourself, likeee.. what's your ideal breakfast?"
He was silent for a while before turning his head. "....Well, I like a spread of marmalade on toast... with an omelette.. baked beans and some freshly squeezed lemon juice if I'm feeling fancy!" He eventually leaned into it with a smile, as he turned around and puffed out his chest. Alright, a good start!
"That actually sounds pretty good.." I mumbled, before I went ahead and told him my own ideal breakfast. He considered if he'd like it too, with a small smile but eventually just shook his head, he's sticking to his own answer.
The two of us continued with questions and each other's answers. He learned so much about me, and I learned so much about him. He claimed to be an "overlord" in Hell, which I just assumed that probably meant he's a helluva lot more powerful than the average demon, maybe even got an army aside from his minions. Definitely what I expected from a demon though.. and hot…
He also said he's not surprised that I had summoned him specifically, which.. I tried to interrupt and tell him I didn't really choose what demon I was summoning it just so happened that the offering I chose brought him, but he just kept going. He went on about how in Hell he's very popular with the ladies and even the gentlemen, how they all just THROW THEMSELVES at him like wild animals, but he's just too busy with his work for a love life.. "but I ssssuppose I could clear out my calendar for you.." He smiled cockily, adjusting his bow tie neatly.
'God he's an adorable liar, he actually thinks I believe all this bullshit.. how gullible does he think I am?' I thought as he went on about how he debated on making everyone a part of his harem, but ultimately decided against it. I just let him go on, I didn't wanna burst his bubble. Honestly, for a serpent, it's kinda funny how bad his lies are.
By the time he was done boasting about how he's one of the most powerful overlords in hell, how he's buddies with Lucifer, he was laying on his stomach at the foot of the bed. If he had legs they'd be kicking like a teenage girl when she neglects the kid she's babysitting to call her boyfriend. The egg bois were gathered around on the bed and floor nearby, all staring at him longingly, as if he's just telling a bedtime story.
At some point though he paused and looked out the window. "Wait! What time is it?" I just looked at my clock and answered "uhh.. 8am?" confused. He then let out a shriek and frantically gathered a few of his egg minions, seeming to have forgotten something back in Hell.
"WellIapologizefortherush,dear,butIreallyhavetogoIhaveathingandifidontdoitimgonnagetmyneckslitokaybyeeeee!!!!!" He basically shouted at me before I could process what he was even saying, as he then scrambled into the summoning circle. It gleamed red as he disappeared into the floor. The last few egg bois followed shortly after, but not before they waved goodbye.
I just waved back as I slowly processed what Pentious told me. "...he called me 'dear'!" I beamed as I flew back into bed, and kicked my feet in the air excitedly. Some squealing continued that.
Unfortunately the rest of the day was pretty boring. I got ready for the day, showered, ate breakfast, went to work and came back home like 9 hours later. I then graced myself with a nice, long shower to wash the shame of the day down the drain.
I walked in my room naked, already dried off. I forgot to bring clothes into the bathroom before I got in the shower again.
My room was still a MESS from this morning, clothes strewn about everywhere, things from my dresser knocked on the floor, drawers open and such. Why did my new hot demon boyfriend decide the best way to figure out if I'm gonna betray him or not was to destroy my room? It's just rude....
Oh well, trust issues be damned.
Quickly threw a some clothes on me, but as I pulled my bottoms up my legs I heard some rustling behind me. I turned around and only saw a pile of my dirty clothing in the corner, the one mess that's actually my fault. I stared at it suspiciously for a moment, only to notice it looked like something was moving under it. Baffled, I walked over and snatched a shirt off the top of the pile.
Right there, with a sock lying on his head, was a stray egg boi. He rubbed his eyes tiredly. 'Was he sleeping this whole time?' I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "What are you doing here? Watching me change, you little pervert?" He looked up at me and then looked around. "Hi, Liver! Where's the boss?" He asked as the signature doofus smile rested on his face.
My demeanor stiffened for a second, I just rubbed my neck and looked at the summoning circle. "Uh. He had to go back to hell, he needed to go do something." And aw man, it was almost as if I told a housewife that her husband had died on the battlefield. He looked up at me again with a gasp and a frown. "What? ...he forgot about me? When will he be back?"
"I don't know, he just kinda dipped, and honestly I don't even think he knew you were in my dirty clothes." I shrugged. He just pouted and looked down at the pile he sat in. My heart broke right there. 'These guys are even more adorable when they're sad!!!' I thought as I quickly bent down and picked him up. He let out a small chirp of surprise as I held him in my arms like a baby. "Awww it's okay, buddy!" I cooed. "You still have me to spend time with!"
He batted his eyes as hope was brought back into them. "I got a few board games, some puzzles, coloring books.." I began to list off, trying to cheer him up and see what he wants to do now. "We can also watch some tv, orrrrr..... I got crafting supplies, we can start crafting stuff for when the big bad snake boss comes back!" His eyes immediately lit up.
Hey y’all! I was in the mood to draw my redesign idea for Arackniss, although he’s yet to make his debut in-show. As I'm sure you can tell, I don't have experience drawing in the Hellaverse style, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere. 🤷♀️
Notes:
🕸️ A frequent criticism of Hellaverse designs is the overuse of the color red, which I agree with. My only limitation with my redesign was that I would not use the color red. Plus, I feel the yellowish green is more aligned to the poisonous/venomous aesthetic of spiders.
🕸️I made Arackniss a little hairier/scruffier, as I like the idea of him being a tired, unkempt old man with eyebags.
🕸️I added splotches to his hair because, one, it gives him more detail, and two, it creates more parallels between him and Angel Dust. His suit, which is all black in his current canon design, I gave grey stripes as another reference to Angel Dust's own outfit.
🕸️I gave Arackniss a cigarette. No particular reason, I just feel like he'd be a smoker. I added the skull to the billow of smoke to signify the toxicity of the cigarette. Perhaps he's inhaling a type of poison? 👀
🕸️Also, before anyone points it out- I know I forgot to give him his third arm on his right side. Oops. 😅
🕸️I tried my best to angle his eyebrows angrily, but I think he looks more sad than anything else. Perhaps that'll turn out to be accurate to his character?
I'm considering doing a redesign of Angel Dust's father- Henroin, I believe his name is? Was? I think that has potential.
But yeah, if you've read this far, thanks! What're your thoughts on my design?
I've made a new X account: @ kyraa_arts, where I'll upload all of my Hazbin Hotel art - mainly Radiostatic - but will also draw solo pieces and other Hellaverse ships from time to time 🫶 very excited to see u there 😚❤️🔥
