An important reminder from Ken.
Back from when I attended BLFC, I did a 3-way badge trade with @chukazoo and @kendraw of their sonas! It was a good time. :)
This is a long one, get ready. I'm speaking right now as a former Vivziepop fan (yeah, specifically her along with her shows.) don't let your hyperfixations cloud your judgement from real criticism. Before you ask YES IT IS OKAY TO LIKE THE SHOWS, YES, ITS OKAY TO WATCH THEM. Buying merch? things like that, probably not very cool.
Listen to me carefully: Your enjoyment of a TV show has no impact on your moral character. I am only educating you about a petty, malicious, and greedy public figure.
These videos and their second parts are both really important to watch, I think (links at the bottom of this post)
But to summarize if you don't want to watch these videos:
The Original Voice Cast:
The voice actors of the original pilot did MOST of the work funding that pilot, were led to believe by vivziepop that they would be in the full show, and then almost EVERYONE that worked on the pilot was dropped.
The goodbye song from the og voice actors was nothing more than a professional goodbye.
One of the voice actors was told they were dropped from the show right before her husband died. She described it as "the last heartbreak he ever helped her through." She had been left in (I believe) millions of dollars in debt from it all. Her and some others held a Livestream to help her out, and Vivienne told them they cannot use the voices of the old cast during the stream. They would have made significantly more money if they had been able to do this, voice acted skits and requests is what made the Hazbin Pilot possible, and what made them so much money in the first place. But apparently, because Viv wasn't benefiting from it, they couldn't use those voices.
Spindlehorse's work environment:
Spindlehorse takes in mostly fans of the shows, and animators with little to no professional experience, they are easy to take advantage of and ARE taken advantage of. I won't go into pay rates because I'm bad at remembering numbers and you should watch the first video for all of that, but the turnover rate at Spindlehorse is FIFTY PERCENT. A good average turnover rate is 10%.
The pay gap between their favorites and everyone else is, gross, honestly. Their normal workers get the industry standard, while their favorites get significantly more than that.
Many people who haven't signed an NDA have talked about how bad of a work environment it is. Some have even talked about how hard Viv and other people in management are to work with.
Kendraw, art theft, and false allegations:
This is going to be a very light summary of a LONG video. Watch VIVZIEPOP VS KENDRAW for a better understanding. If you do not want to watch the video, here you go:
Kendraw was, to my understanding, a good friend of Viv before the pilot came out. Kendraw's pronouns are they/them. Viv has always known this.
Kendraw would give Viv a lot of suggestions for the pilot, to the point where they basically wrote it for her. Viv had called herself a bad writer during all this.
They also made a concept drawing of Cherri Bomb, and when they showed it to Viv, she asked to "work off the post" and credit them if she did so.
This was Kendraw's art.
This, was Vivziepop's. (This may not be Cherri's first official render, but it's one of them.)
Kendraw was not given credit for this drawing, not given credit for his ideas for the pilot, and MANY others weren't given credit for their work on the pilot as well.
Kendraw asked Viv calmly, why they and others weren't given credit. Vivziepop told them she felt attacked, and went on to misgender Kendraw to other people, along with accusing them of talking inappropriately to a minor, instead of just, giving people the credit they deserved.
There's more to this situation, but I know people will only read so much, so this is just a little surface scratch of how BAD of a person this woman is. Not enough people are talking about this, too many people are groveling at her feet.
Let me remind you that it is FINE to like Hazbin and Helluva. I'm not the boss of you, I just think people need to talk about this so much more than we are.
We need to be aware of the people we idolize.

omg! Vivziepop gave KenDraws an impsona
oh my goodness your OCs are so young! That begs to question if you have any canon ideas of their adult selves! Since they're aliens, do they age like humans? or do they have different life cycles? (I absolutely LOVE seeing before and afters for characters and how creators picture them at different stages of their lives)
I do not currently have any ideas for their adult selves!! It’s something I haven’t really thought to explore as timeskips aren’t my most favorite thing when it comes to tropes haha— but it is an interesting concept to think about!
Aliens in Lumi’s universe age pretty much the same as they do on earth; but of course it can vary depending on species!
They do have different life cycles however; with one example being that Mika, Davin and Siona all come from eggs! Felicity came from a seed, and Lumi, well.. they were born from gas and dust!
It’s the best boy, Tadano!
Today's my friend @kendraw's birthday! I drew their very special clown monster boy to celebrate! I hope today's a great day! Happy birthday! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Art Fight attack for @kendraw of their fantastic Fool!
This fella and his fancy tailcoat have had my eye for quite some time and I was so happy to get a chance to draw them! What a jovial trickster!
