✪ Welcome to my little corner of hell. I've fenced it off and It's quite nice this time of year. this is just my personal little escape ✪ proship ☕ pro feminism 🍓 . . . queer pride 🏳️‍🌈 . . i'm 27 my dudes

Personally I love how absolutely batshit insane the lore of the Hellaverse can be. Like yeah this super silly snake ex-demon happened to know real-life serial killer Jack the Ripper in person. Abel, son of Adam and first ever murder victim, likes to wear a band uniform. Saint Peter is a twink.

[mandareeboo]

I know a lot of people don't want to go like within five feet of these shows and I respect that. But also if you wanted more examples of what I mean when I say batshit insane:

Charlie's mom LITERALLY girlpower'ed so hard her entire existence Heaven decided she was an ultimate threat. It's stated all of her protests were strictly peaceful but she served so much cunt it made them nervous.

There's a demon Overlord implied to be like 400+ years old who terrifies sinners so much they set themselves on fire in his presence but his ONLY roles in the show thus far are A.) that guy the hot weapon's dealer really likes and B.) that old relic that lets the other Overlords mock him constantly.

The embodiment of lust supports cheating but not assault because he views sex as a dramatic art to be earned with respect and trust. I personally think that's based.

Mammon is an Australian clown that either can't say the word cunt audibly or is intentionally censoring himself. It should be noted the only other Australian character in-universe uses it every third word, so it's not a matter of the writers avoiding the word. Personally I think it'd be really funny if the embodiment of greed was trying to seem more kid-friendly but the only swear he found worthy of censorship was that one.

Charlie Morningstar gets called a Karen AND Hitler

There's a conglomeration of media-related demons who work together and the tv demon keeps trying really hard not to sound like he's not gonna double cross the other two, but the other two know him really well so they know his bullshit and call him on it

The imp voiced by Zim is from a mafia family

Imp sexual dimorphism means you can tell whenever there's a trans character on screen via their horns

[taibhsearachd]

One of the main characters is played by the "move I'm gay" guy and that's just kind of what he's like, the whole time

[mandareeboo]

For some reason humans in this universe are just. The dumbest motherfuckers ever. You do not get to have braincells before you die in this universe. Haters and fans alike may be going "the characters don't have braincells either" and they are right, but being alive makes it worse

Occasionally when the crews are done with a prop in-episode they'll just have it break physics to do something funny. Once a guy in a car chase just slammed sideways into a gas tanker for no reason bc they wanted to end the short.

One of the longest running background characters is a guy named Wally Wackford who talks like a carnival barker. He is so unconnected to the plot they can't find any way to insert him for longer than a few seconds but he's everywhere.

New people to the show are always surprised to learn that white spots on imps are how scars show up. Yeah the piebald thing is NOT a cutesy pattern.

The circus somehow matters more than the actual royal line and being a successful clown is treated like being a massive celebrity, complete with sex toys and jars in-universe being sold of their visage. Yes I mean THAT kind of jar.

You can literally own someone's soul in-universe and powerful beings own a lot of them but MOST of the time it's treated more like being in a really shitty job environment instead of actual slavery. As you can imagine this is where a solid chunk of the discourse comes from amongst other stuff.

Cannibals are pretty chill because their Overlord is big into politeness and manners

Viviene Madrano had a gag of herself getting run over and murdered by accident. She of course died in the family guy death pose.

There's dedicated wikis to background characters because the Spindlehorse animation team refuses to use blank npc background characters so every character is decked out in at least one way or another.

The animation is gorgeous. This isn't me praising bullshit I mean they animate on 1s and 2s and do giant circle shots at least once a season, often multiple. The reason the shows take so fucking long is they spend months on five seconds. You can even argue it's over animated in some sections.

They LOVE cramming worldbuilding in the backgrounds of scenes. Like you miss out on half the show if you aren't pausing every five seconds sometimes. Whether that's /pos or /neg depends on who you're asking.

Blitz, the mc of helluva boss, has so many in-universe haters from his shitty treatment of others they have a once-a-year "fuck Blitzo" party with cake and party favors.

The seven deadly sins all control various aspects of hell and you can usually tell who has what depending on the color schemes/demons staffing the place (also they all have specific sigils), but for some reason Sloth sinners usually have lit candles above their heads instead of a cohesive demon type. They also run the medical circuit.

The running gag of bad spelling is because Blitzo is barely literate and heavily dyslexic. Also it's very likely imps don't get schooling in general.

The sin of lust makes sex toys but also dabbles in prosthetics and robotics in general

Sometimes I think it's just not even worth it to try to like have my own personality and personal expression because I will always be punished for it no matter what In some way shape or form my existing as I am in my natural state is a fucking mortal sin.

Like I have thought about just saying fuck it Just growing my hair out dying it back a normal color taking out all my piercings starting to wear makeup again just to be normal just to just fucking give up and just exist as a perfectly normal adult until the day I die.

I'm never going to escape this fucking town, never going to actually have a family or a relationship because I am an antisocial freak who doesn't know how to make friends without them turning me into the butt of a joke.*

I'm fucking nearly 30 and I'm just sitting here like I've done nothing with my life and I live in my childhood bedroom what's the fucking point to actually exist the way I want when it just Apparently just makes me a target for every single human being just to just treat me like shit.

*I will say that this is not all friends and the friends that I actually consider closest to me do not treat me like this and never have but like the majority of people I work with

Do.

I think a Negative Kudos button is really pointless first off (ao3 is an archive not a social media site! we don't need upvotes/downvotes to drive some nonexistent algorithm) but also it feels cowardly. like, there already is a way to share your dislike of a fic with the author. it's called commenting 'your fic is bad and I didn't like it.' but then you might look like an ass, and people might say hey that's mean, and you might have to defend your position of unkindness + consider why you feel the need to be rude to a stranger on the internet writing for fun and for free. a quick, impersonal, site-sanctioned Mean Kudos is really just a weenie move

On the issue of the ‘q slur’...

So, yesterday, I got into a rather stupid internet argument with someone who was peddling what seemed to me to be a rather insidious narrative about slur-reclamation. Someone in the ensuing notes raised a point which I thought was interesting, and worrying, and probably needed to be addressed in it’s own post. So here we go:

The word ‘queer’ itself seems to be especially touchy for many, so let me begin to address this by way of analogy.

Instead of talking about “queer”, let’s start by talking about “Jew” - a word which I believe is very similar in its usage in some significant ways.

Now, the word “Jew” has been used as a derogatory term for literally hundreds of years. It is used both as a noun (eg. “That guy ripped me off - what a dirty Jew”) and as a verb (eg. “That guy really Jew-ed me”). These usages are deeply, fundamentally, horrifically offensive, and should be used under no circumstances, ever. And yet, I myself have heard both, even as recently as this past year, even in an urban location with plenty of Jews, in a social situation where people should have known better. In short – the word “Jew”, as it is used by certain antisemites, is – quite unambiguously – a slur. Not a dead slur, not a former slur – and active, living slur that most Jews will at some point in their life encounter in a context where the term is being used to denigrate them and their religion. 

Now here’s the thing, though: I’m a Jew. I call myself a Jew. I prefer that all non-Jews call me a Jew – so do most Jews I know. “Jew” is the correct term for someone who is part of the religion of Judaism, the same way that “Muslim” is the correct term for someone who is part of the religion of Islam, and “Christian” is the correct term for someone who is part of the religion of Christianity. 

In fact, almost all of the terms that non-Jews use to avoid saying “Jew” (eg. “a member of the Jewish persuasion”, “a follower of the Jewish faith”, “coming from a Jewish family”, “identifying as part of the Jewish religion”, etc) are deeply offensive, because these terms imply to us that the speaker sees the term “Jew” (and by extension, what that term stands for) as a dirty word.

“BUT WAIT” – I hear you say – “didn’t you just say that Jew is used as a slur?!?”

Yes. Yes, I did. And also, it is fundamentally offensive not to call us that, because it is our name and our identity.

Let me back up a little bit, and bring you into the world of one of those 2000s PSAs about not using “that’s so gay”. Think of some word that is your identity – something which you consider to be a fundamental and intrinsic part of yourself. It could be “female” or “male”, or “Black” or “white”, “tall” or “short”, “Atheist” or “Mormon” or “Evangelical” – you name it.

Now imagine that people started using that term as a slur.

“What a female thing to do!” they might say. “That teacher doesn’t know anything, he’s so female!”

Or maybe, “Yikes, look at that idiot who’s driving like an atheist. It’s so embarrassing!”

Or perhaps, “Oh gross, that music is so Black, turn it off!”

Now, what would you say if the same groups of people who had been saying those things for years turned around and avoided using those words to describe anything other than an insult?

“Oh, so I see you’re a member of the female persuasion!”

“Is he… a follower of the atheist beliefs? Like does he identify as part of the community of atheist-aligned individuals?”

“So, as a Black-ish identified person yourself – excuse me, as a person who comes from a Black-ish family…”

Here’s the fundamental problem with treating all words that are used as slurs the same, without any regard for how they are used and how they developed – not all slurs are the same.

No one, and I mean no one (except maybe for a small handful of angsty teens who are deliberately making a point of being edgy) self-identifies as a kike. In contrast, essentially all Jews self-identify as Jews. And when non-Jews get weird about that identity on the grounds that “Jew is used as a slur”, despite the fact that it is the name that the Jewish community as a whole resoundingly identifies with, what they are basically saying is that they think that the slur usage is more important than the Jewish community self-identification usage. They are saying, in essence, “we think that your name should be a slur.” 

Now, at the top I said that the word “Jew” and the word “queer” had some significant similarities in terms of their usage, and I think that’s pretty apparent if you look at what people in those communities are saying about those terms. When American Jews were being actively threatened by neo-Nazis in the 70s, the slogan of choice was “For every Jew a .22!″. When the American Queer community was marching in the 90s in protest of systemic anti-queer violence, the slogan of choice was “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!” Clearly, these are terms that are used by the communities themselves, in reference to themselves. Clearly, these terms are more than simply slurs.

But while there are useful similarities between how the terms “Jew” and “Queer” are used by bigots and by their own communities, I’d also like to point out that there is pretty substantial and important difference:

Unlike for “queer”, there is no organized group of Jewish antisemites who are using the catchphrase “Jew is a slur!” in order to selectively silence and disenfranchise Jews who are part of minority groups within Judaism. 

This is the real rub with the term queer – no one was campaigning about it being a slur until less than a decade ago. No one was saying that you needed to warn for the word queer when queer people were establishing the academic discipline of queer studies. No one was ‘think of the children”-ing the umbrella term when queer activists were literally marching for their lives. Go back to even 2010 and the term “q slur” would have been basically unparseable – if I saw someone tag something “q slur”, like most queer people I would have wracked my brains trying to figure out what slur even started with q, and if I learned that it was supposed to be “queer”, my default assumption would be that the post was made by a well-meaning but extremely clueless straight person.

I literally remember this shift – and I remember who started it. Exclusionists didn’t like the fact that queer was an umbrella term. Terfs (or radfems as they like to be called now) didn’t like that queer history included trans history; biphobes and aphobes didn’t like that the queer community was also a community to bisexuals and asexuals. And so what could they possibly say, to drive people away from the term that was protecting the sorts of queer people that they wanted to exclude?

Well, naturally, they turned to “queer is a slur.”

And here’s the thing – queer is a slur, just like Jew is a slur, and no one is denying that. And that fact makes “queer is a slur so don’t use it” a very convincing argument on the surface: 1) queer is still often used as a slur, and 2) you shouldn’t ever use slurs without carefully tagging and warning people about them (and better yet, you should never use them at all), and so therefore 3) you need to tag for “the q slur” and you need to warn people not to call the community “the queer community” or it’s members “queer people” or its study “queer studies” – because it’s a slur!

But the crucial step that’s missing here is exactly the same one above, for the word “Jew” – and that step is that not all slurs are the same. When a term is both used as a slur and used as a self-identity term, then favoring the slur meaning instead of the identity meaning is picking the side of the slur-users over the disadvantaged group! 

If you say or tag “q slur” you are sending the message, whether you realize it or not, that people who use “queer” as a slur are more right about its meaning than those who use it as their identity. Tagging for “queer” is one thing. People can filter for “queer” if it triggers them, just like people can filter for anything else. Not everyone has to personally use the term queer, or like the term queer. But there is no circumstance where the term “q slur” does not indicate that you think queer is more of a slur than of an accurate description of a community.

If I, as a Jew, ever came across a post where someone had warned for innocent, positive, non-antisemitic content relating to Judaism with the tag “J slur”, I would be incensed. So would any Jew. The act of tagging a post “J slur” is in and of itself antisemitic and offensive.

Queer people are allowed to feel the same about “q slur”. It is not a neutral warning term – it is an attack on our identity.
