The Val/Vox/Angel Dust/Husk dodechahedron is messy as shit
We know that Angel will ultimately end up with Husk
And Angel between Val and Vox is a twisted Iliad situation like Menelaus and Paris fighting over Helen
Except Angel Dust is way smarter
Eventually, he ran away because he refused to be fought over like a toy anymore
And also struggling with self forgiveness in what happened to him...
His time in Harlem helped Angel to self reflect and proceds everything
And his real support group at the Hotel helped him heal
You don't see Val and Vox being this obsessive to any of their employees - not that one girl in Hazbin S2 opening, Travis or Baxter
Still asshole bosses, yet still
They practically shared him in the most toxic ways possible
Velvette is mostly indifferent to Angel and Angel also hates her guts
VoxVal fights are often about either the piss fighting with Team Alastor....or Angel
It boils over during the Overlord Wars, and no wonder Angel ran away
After everything, no wonder Angel chose Husk in the end, the one who TRULY loves him for HIM and not as a ' property '
So I mentioned the Val/Angel toxicity is like Phantom/Christine, except its grown up toxic grooming and not the wife husbandry attempt before Christine fled
With Vox/Angel toxicity, its literally like 50 shades of Grey
Now you see why Angel is often triggered by 50 shades of Grey and Phantom of the Opera
Alastor and Vox are not even THAT pissy when Nifty and Baxter weaseled themselves out of those grasps
But Val trashed his own studio when Angel Dust went missing and led and obsessive search to find Angel
The Goetias magically stalled the Vees' search
I think Mimzy is kinda like an Overlord too, like maybe Mimzy was once under Rosie before she freed her and....married her ( yeah I ship Rosie with Mimzy now )
Like Rosie/Mimzy are bit like the female VoxVal, but not as toxic
Rosie, Alastor and Mimzy practically rule Cannibal Town
Rosie is the leader of the Bayou trio
Vox is the leader of the Vees before Val takes over
And I headcanon that Val is not very good in finances so he often relies on Vox to help handle his finances
I mean, Val often shops on Vox's credit cards in canon btw
Originally I had Angel in binge drinking and meth when he was in hiding
I changed a bit to how Angel was smoking pot and binge drinking at first, but self reflection had him to stop
Since he made that deal with Lilith, Lilith sometimes had heart to heart talks with Angel in dreams. She becomes like a bonus aunt to Angel
Lilith is a patron demon of feminism and sexual abuse survivors, so it makes sense that she'll help Angel Dust once she learns of his story
And Angel looks up to Lilith since he wad a kid
Angel Dust and Lilith's relationship is like this interesting mentee/mentor dynamic of Tasha and Karl Lagerfeld btw
Lilith will not sugar coat things, but she shows care to those closest to her in a no nonsense, maternal way
Lilith comes back to Hell, and she becomes like a trickster mentor/bonus mom figure to the Hotel crew
Lilith especially ships Huskerdust and Chaggie, but knows they'll go through their own trials
Not to mention her own marriage issues with Lucifer
She helps the couples who are meant to be to coast along their own trials, here and there
And Charlie also helps her parents to mend the seams
I always imagined Lilith to be like a mix of Amethyst and Constanza
That sense of familiarity is another reason why Angel Dust is willing to listen to Lilith. Mostly
The Hellaverse crew's voice headcanon for Lilith is Lady Gaga, and I can see either Susan Egan or Eden Espinosa to voice Lilith
Because Taro Yamamoto ( Nifty's oldest brother ) married a beautiful Russian nutritionist who helps co found the Yamamoto Izakaya, Nifty had Russian and Japanese relatives
Daniel O'Malley ( Husk's youngest brother ) married a Mexican folk dancer and singer whose family moved to Las Vegas from Oaxaca City during the Mexican Revolution, and Larry Magoosh ( jazz pianist who is also Kamilah's husband ) is Apache descent.
So Husk has Native American and Hispanic relatives
Kenzo and Mitsuo ( Taro's younger brothers ) married Japanese ladies who are also associated with the Yakuza
Nifty's brothers got married between the 50s and 60s and such
After Lucifer heard the truth of what happened with Angel Dust, no wonder he founded the Hazbin circuit
The Goetias also implemented magical protection of the families of Angel Dust's dancing students
The Goetias' astral protection on various families happened similarly with when the DiGalaxis cruelty reached its height after that Sinsmas
When Stella nearly broke the cosmos, THE ASTRAL PROTECTIONS ALMOST SHATTERED
And hundreds all scrambled to save the Goetias from themselves
I can see Husk and Angel Dust having a yearning duet like a Hopelessly Devoted to You duet version
Like Husk goes to the Pentagram Museum, and meanwhile at that late night, Angel Dust goes to a Wild West themed bar
And they sing about how much they miss each other and all the angst and drama that went with it
So Husk has to square up against Vox AND Valentino in the ' love rivalry ' over Angel
Only one of them truly loves Angel as a person ( Husk )
Meanwhile, Sal, Alastor and Emily have their own triangle thing going on. Of course Emily chooses Sal, and then Sal gave Alastor a permanent restraining order
So Baxter x Nifty, Moxxillie, Cherrisnake and Chaggie are not that messy
Yes, they got their own ups and downs, but they'll get through it
Huskerdust and Stolitz have their own soap opera drama
After everything, no wonder Charlie and Vaggie have those 2 on couples therapy
EmilNiss have their own trials too but at least its not THAT messy
