DAA NAA NAA NAAAAAAAAAAA

Helluva circus Au wooo-

YALL GONNA SEE WHOS OZZIE >:)) (yes it's a OC)

But also, quick notice, so I've changed things around so like the name of the sin over lords isn't their actual name in the AU. It's like- a show name yk- so who ever is mammon is called mammon by the public. ANYWHA

your drawings lol

I keep forgetting to draw Caine's hat LMAO

Anyway brace yourself with a bunch of homo

Told you. Homo

(the daki in the bg was my friends idea. I was planning to get rid of it)

Look. They love each other. Makes me sick/j

If I can't have it no one can/j

Anyway that wraps us up. But here is a rough draft lol

[b1ackgh0st]

Me, making a Helluva Circus (Helluva Boss × TADC):

"Blitzø and Jax are officially besties. And Stolas is weirded out by Kinger, Millie is very empathetic to Gangle. Loona likes Zooble aaaaaand Moxxie doesn't know what to do. He's jn a weird circus. (Not Fizz having a panic attack in the corner he's fine dw just give Ozzie a few minutes to get there)"

Basically, I.M.P (+Stolas, Fizz, and possible Ozzie) are thrown into TADC as players. But, they remember some little snippets of their lives back down in hell, and their avatars look very similar to their actual bodies.

OH YEAH

HE WAS

I love not pitting indie animation shows against each other and instead embracing all of them. In the midst of ai slop, corporations always choosing live action/CG over full animation, and the rise in conservatism, we have all these shows that just embrace animation (and usually queerness too). I love TADC, helluva boss, hazbin, lackadaisy, gaslight district, murder drones, all of them, just for what they represent. Animation is not dead and it never will be.

Yay, another parallel to the circus!!

Whaaa!? Me making a new TADC OC? No way lmak.

Anyway meet Spindal (yes very helluva/hazbin influenced.)

She's basically just made out of cosplay/sewing material. They are also based on a spider :D the thing on their back acts like the thread spiders can make lol

She also loves to sew, making clothes for herself and she others- they can't really take of their clothes though so the kinda just. Go over lol

She's a fashionista and I love her

Season 2, episode 1:

Season 2, episode 12:

Oh I do love the parallels the animators put in.

Even if it’s not super obvious or like for like, it’s so well thought through and means rewatching every episode is such a joy and excitement when things connect.

theory:

vivziepop kickstarted the indie animation revolution the same way freud is the father of modern psychology:

by having some good ideas but elaborating on them so badly alongside a whole bunch of terrible ideas that a whole bunch of people felt compelled to come on the scene just to keep the ball rolling and steer things in a better direction, partly to prove they could and because they had genuine passion, but also because letting freud/vivzie be the sole, defining player in the field would be very embarrasing for everyone

so much of what i feel is poorly executed/sorely lacking in hazbin hotel and helluva boss is done so much better in all the other indie cartoons that I almost feel like this is genuinely the case, that taking the cool ideas of hazbin/helluva and actually doing them well this time was in the back of everyones mind when formulating their series concepts

>The Amazing Digital Circus

does the "character-based-dramedy around finding connection and meaning in (whats basically) hell" better

>Lackadaisy

takes the "gangster furries in snappy suits + art deco aesthetic" ball and runs with it, but they actually can design good character designs and period accurate clothing

>Murder Drones

idk much about this one, havent watched it but from what i've heard they do the whole "emo angst meets cosmic horror" thing a lot better

>The Gaslight District

Worldbuilding and aesthetic reminds me a lot of Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, but here its WAY more coherent and focused, with the pilot actually answering a lot of obvious questions about the worldbuilding similar to ones that, IIRC, Hazbin/Helluva stil hasn't answered to this day. Also, better action, better art direction, better edgy humor/characters, better music, better father/daughter dynamic, better fucking everything

this was literally a pain in the back, i will lay down for a while now 🤡
