[youthinkaboutme-yourradiodemon]

Im unsure if I asked you this or not, but just wanted to know are you also a fan of Hazbin Hotel, who's 18 or older too?🩵✨️🙏😇 Just wanted to be sure before I follow, thanks, take care✨️ -Killer Bunny Anon🐰

I'm a fan of the sexiest demons in hell:

Alastor, Vox and Lucifer.

The Trinity. 😂

And yes! Hazbin and Helluva, too.

Although I like Helluva Boss more, I have no interest in any character. Ew, I've problems.

And to answer your question... I'm going almost to be 30. I'm old. 💀

[hazbin-hotel-accurate-ish-quotes]

if you watch helluva boss do you have a favorite character fron the show?

I do watch it! 🌟 Just finished rewatching it with my partner before Hazbin S2 came out and, yes, I do have a favourite. It's gotta be Blitzø

I can't wait for new episodes, as I think we're gonna start seeing a different, truer side to Blitzø.

Fizzarolli, Asmodeus, and Stolas are also some favourites of mine✨️

Theory but I think the ins colonized hell and more to the point turned it into Hell. As in, the imps aren't spiritual beings, nor are the hellhounds or even Stolis and his people.

Basically, I think that pre Sins Hell was just like, another dimension that living beings existed in. Then the Sins rocked up/got booted out of Heaven and turned it into an afterlife and bumped Solis's family and others like them from top dogs to lesser lords and their subjects even lower.

Yeah, I've thought about that possibility a fair bit myself, and while it's definitely possible, I feel like it doesn't quite fit.

For one, I'm not sure if the story would full-on vilify the Sins like that, framing them as colonizers who conquered Hell and subjugated its people. As it sort of distracts from what I imagine is both Helluva's and Hazbin's ultimate point of Heaven being the true final antagonist of the franchise.

More substantially, the idea of Hell simply being some random 'alternate dimension' feels a bit underwhelming when it seems more that there is SOME kind of connection between Heaven, Hell and Earth. Personally, I think it's more likely that Hell has always been treated as a 'dumping ground' by Heaven for all their 'trash' they don't want to look at anymore. Like perhaps Demons are some failed or rejected proto-version of humanity. Maybe Hell itself is some kind of failed version of Earth.

From what we've seen so far, I feel like it makes sense that it would turn out that everything in Hell, from its people to the Sins to the humans trapped there to perhaps even the world itself all represent the 'trash' that Heaven wanted to get rid of.

a part of me still hopes for Mammon to at least loosen up a bit in the future. i mean Asmodeus also seemed like a prick when he and fizz singed a diss-track towards almost all of the main characters about how love sucks, only for them to turn out to be hypocrites (in a good way :) so who knows what's in store for mammon

So funny enough, I'm actually working on a post that touches on this idea a bit. Namely that Mammon being this petty, skeevy asshole isn't some grand, nebulous 'Embodiment of Greed' thing, but rather simply a Mammon thing. The product of his own personal hang-ups and insecurities rather than something he's 'compelled' to be by being a Sin. Which in turn means he at least has the potential to change for the better. Not to say it would be easy, but still.

What are your thoughts on Milly?

Millie is a very fun and likable, though also underexplored and underdeveloped character (so far).

Sarcastic Chorus actually did a really good video breaking down the issues with Millie that I overall agree with. Essentially, while the rest of the main cast and even some of the secondary cast (Blitzo, Stolas, Moxie, Loona, Octavia, etc.) have had their characters at least somewhat explored and/or developed, Millie has had comparatively almost no focus thus-far.

Now I have no doubt that we WILL get that focus and development for Millie before too long (part of that ties into HBs origins as a Hazbin Hotel spinoff), for now Millie is kind of the weak-link of the main cast, writing-wise. Still a fun character though.

Helluva Boss asks? OK! I really enjoyed your analysis!

I find it a little odd how a lot of fan works seem determined to wipe clean all the messyness in the relationships in Helluva. The messyness that in my opinion what makes it compelling and what makes you care about the characters - they're relatably imperfect!

What do you think people who are looking to pull that away see in this ship?

Yeah, what we see in the HB fandom is really a classic case of a fandom becoming fixated on 'moral whitewashing', a trend that we've unfortunately been seeing a lot of these past several years, particularly in animation. Basically, a number people got really fixated on this idea that everything NEEDS to be all nice and happy and pure and good and uncomplicated.

And a sizable reason for that is because a lot of people have gotten it into their head that otherwise a character or ship would be 'problematic' and then liking them would be bad/evil/wrong/naughty. I mean just look at the whole 'anti-proship' crowd.

So when you have a show like Helluva Boss, who's whole central theme is that of morally complicated characters with lots of personal issues that deal with them in fairly unhealthy (ie; 'problematic') ways trying to navigate messy relationships with other characters with similar issues, all in an attempt to find happiness and fulfillment, I don't think it's surprising that a lot of the fandom tries to sand off the edges.
