The Upflow Collective AU Blog

After his death during the battle (season 1 of Hazbin Hotel), The Forces of Justice decide to step into Adam's path. Still a winner, Adam is brought into Hell in order to see the truth that Sera has been hiding all this time. At the same time, more than meets the eye may be occurring beneath the surface for a certain TV host. Follows the winding and complicated relationships of the Hazbin Hotel cast, along with the connections between platonic and romantic soulmates alike.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the official blog for the Upflow Collective AU, a Hazbin Hotel AU written by both myself (Silver or Lee) and Lizzy! Our Hazbin self shipping blogs are respectively @leedollop and @saintly-self-shipping. Due to some of the themes and content in this AU, this is an 18+ blog. My own blog is also 18+ for my own comfort, but Lizzy's is not.

Please enjoy and feel free to browse some of the information we have for the AU below!

Content Note

Neither of us is comfortable with content that treats Adam or Vox as terrible people, so please don't bring that here. This is an Adam sinner free zone. We have no interest in fandom discourse. If you dislike our headcanons please just don't interact with us.

There will sometimes be discussions of Valentino's abuse to both Vox and Angel Dust. This will have the tag tw valentino and any other appropriate warnings. We only ever write V/oxV/al content in the context of them being together in the past and Val being abusive.

Please give me some headcanons about what Adam is like in a bubble bath.

Adam most definitely enjoys having toys in the bath like boats and things. He'll swim them around and create little action stories, including making explosions noises with his mouth and dramatic music.

He splashes in bubble baths and, with his wings included in that equation, probably makes a big mess. But he doesn't care, it's fun!

He'll sometimes pick up the bubbles to place them on his head and make funny hairdos.

Adam will test how long he can hold his breath and celebrate whenever he beats his previous high score.

He sings to himself while he relaxes in the bubble bath or cleans himself off.

Adam also enjoys just soaking his body and wings in the tub to unwind if its been a busy day.

[adamstruewife]

What would some user boxes for your AU look like?

Here you go, have fun lol:

[adamstruewife]

I totally agree, but I wanna hear your personal defense of A/dam.

To be honest, I think Adam got so much hate because he was paired against someone like C/harlie, and I think it's very easy to want to side with C/harlie because of what she represents. C/harlie represents child like hope, optimism, and wonder, and, against her, I think it's easy to see A/dam, even with his boyish charm, as representing adult like cynicism. (Plus C/harlie defending the fan favorites).

But, it really isn't that way if you look at it from A/dam's perspective. Imagine you've been doing exterminations because you love the people in Heaven and you've been led to believe the people in Hell are like, the worst of the worst and are threatening Heaven's safety. Like yeah, if I thought everyone was pretty much all like V/alentino down there who were now whining about getting their just desserts, I'd also be singing Hell Is Forever and calling exterminations entertainment! I think it's unreasonable to expect A/dam to have that perspective changed by a few doodles, especially when C/harlie never gives the context of what her people are really like, just that they're her people, so of course she'll defend them.

To be fair to C/harlie, pushing her explanation off until the last minute could lead to pressure that doesn't make people good at explaining things (unintentional on A/dam's part), but she could have been bonding with A/dam that whole time instead of making annoyed faces at him, which probably would have helped A/dam understand her perspective more. C/harlie being impatient is her biggest character flaw, and I'll be interested to see how they address that in s2.

Plus, I think it's worth mentioning that C/harlie didn't present that well in court either (to be very clear, I adore C/harlie as a character, I think she has a great heart and means no harm, I just think, again, she often puts the cart before the horse). My biggest critique is that she picked A/ngel D/ust, but she never informed the court of the situation A/ngel D/ust is in, which stopped them from sympathizing with A/ngel the same way she or us the audience have. Even when A/dam and L/ute were making comments about A/ngel's career, C/harlie didn't give them the context of overlords or the fact V/al is an abusive piece of crap specifically that overpowers A/ngel.

Like yes, C/harlie doesn't know the full extent of it, but she saw enough at the studio that day to argue A/ngel is in a state of duress. Yes, the court did see A/ngel's conversation with V/al at the club but, without the context of how Hell works, to them it probably just sounded like two sinners having a power dispute, and they could have just thought the chain was a part of V/al's powers rather than an overlord thing.

It's ironic A/dam and V/ox ended up being such good friends in my and my friend's AU, because I feel like they both get hated on in the fandom for similar reasons. Mostly that people overly side with one character and refuse to see either of their sides of the story.

For example, I feel like people are so protective of A/ngel D/ust that any support for him outside of just outright "I love you and I hate V/al" is ignored and diminished. So people see V/ox putting on an act around V/al and, instead of noticing V/ox protecting A/ngel, people just latch onto the fact that V/ox wasn't yelling at V/al like "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BOI, I HATE YOU V/AL!" to paint him as just as terrible as V/al. They also then ignore V/ox's obvious annoyance at V/al, and V/al literally throwing a glass at V/ox and breaking his phone, showing V/ox isn't safe from V/al's wrath either, nor is he in a great situation. Yet he risked his ass to calm V/al down anyway.

I think a lot of people forget killing sinners for those in Hell isn't that simple, and in V/ox's situation, even with angelic steel he'd have to make a plan so it couldn't be traced back to him (I doubt V/alentino is the only overlord he'd have to worry about in that scenario). So yeah no, V/ox isn't going to directly oppose V/al's actions for his own safety and he's not going to beat the jerk to a pulp or willy nilly decide to kill him because, if he does and it doesn't work, he's putting himself and A/ngel in way more danger than it's worth.

Sorry, I got very passionate there lol. My point is I tend to write things as less black and white, especially concerning those two characters, because I think putting yourself in their shoes makes a lot of their behavior make sense. Which isn't saying the exterminations were the right thing to do because I see people swing things all the way back around that way, but that A/dam's viewpoints on it were understandable if we dissect why he hates Hell and it's people in the first place. Which is why in my AU he's given a chance to see the truth and, when he does, it's a very quick turn around.

ADAM, First Man | 1x06 - Welcome to Heaven

"Uggh NO, not him again!"

[adamstruewife]

being the love interest of both the hero and the villain. your morality tested as you find yourself falling in love with them both, and you find them falling in love with you. both vying for your loyalty, they have you locked in a tug-of-war that you don't quite want to be in. you know them both as people, not as ideas or symbols like others might. their loyalties bear nothing on your feelings for them, and sometimes you don't know where you stand. sometimes it hurts. sometimes you're dragged into this conflict that you shouldn't have to be part of... but you are. so what will you do?

the optimist in you wants to believe that you can all find equilibrium (and maybe eventually you do). maybe indecisiveness is everyone's downfall. or maybe it's possessiveness. your villain is selfish, and your hero wants what's truly best for you... but maybe they're selfish, too, in their own way. they want you, too. maybe love changes the three of you, and leads you into a previously unthinkable arrangement. can you reconcile?

you are the thread that binds you three together. sometimes it's pressure, but you do it because you love them. you want them to get better, you want them to stop and find peace, you want normalcy... but maybe you won't ever get that until you admit the truth.
