WALTEN FILES "THEORY" AHEAD !!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Ok so I haven't talked about this before, but as a fan of The Walten Files, I noticed a couple things during the "Quality" ad (1974) that points towards Jack Walten himself being inside the Bon animatronic.

The ad is specifically aired in 1974, the same year as Ed and Molly's disappearances, as well as the disappearance of Jack Walten. It is safe to assume this ad takes place after the opening of Bon's Burgers.

First of all, this shot of Felix and Bon standing next to each other mirrors the infamous photo of Jack and Felix (below).

Also, Bon and Sha being drawn like this in the last shot suggests some kind of relationship. Sha is being possessed by Rosemary Walten, and it would make sense for Bon, who is holding onto her shoulders, to be possessed by her husband, Jack Walten.

In conclusion, this "quality" ad almost entirely confirms that Jack Walten is trapped inside Bon by mirroring Jack's relationships to Felix and Rosemary.

Just Dance 2025 trailer is finally here!!!

However, there are a few things I noticed about the cover art.

So i'm guessing the coach in the middle is Ari from "Good for u", and the coach on the right is a wackyverse version of the coach in "Bassa Sababa" (OMG WERE GETTING A NEW MAP W/ DEERSTAN & PANDAFAN!!!) and i LOVE the new design!

In the background we have an image of the flower in "Cradles" and I really hope this means we're getting more of Scotty! His character is so funny, and I'd love to see them continue that story

We also have the flamingo and boombox from Brezziana's maps, so we may get more of the beach resort? I'm not as sure about that one, but possibly

Honestly I'm pretty excited for JD25. I can't wait to see the promo for the maps tho!

Scotty: *Enjoying life and being happy* Also Scotty: *Getting sent to the hellish nightmare that is his subconscious*

Hazbin hotel makes the parallel between Charlie and Emily very clear. Hovever, this parallel goes beyond the princesses of heaven and hell when we look at their parental figures.

Through the examination of Sera and Lucifer's parenting and prideful decisions, one can see how not only the two farthest entities from each other - literally good vs evil - can be alike, but also how they can dictate the future of Hazbin Hotel.

I feel like it's already been established that Charlie and Emily are so similar. Their personalities, outlooks on the extermination, CHAREXTER DESIGN? "you didn't know" with their duet just ties it all together. But Lucifer and Sera? It might take a bit of explaining on my end…

Lucifer's relationship with his daughter, Charlie, has always been pretty strained. After Lilith repeatedly separated the two, Lucifer became depressed about not seeing Charlie, though he never acted on it.

At the beginning of episode 5, Lucifer has very adamant feelings about sinners; they suck. Because he had been cursed to only see the evil he had brought onto man kind (which i will dive deeper into later), all he sees is a worthless pile of rubbish, and he tries to warn Charlie about this. In a way, he is overprotective of Charlie, wanting to keep her safe from being heartbroken about the hotel if it goes wrong.

Much like Lucifer, Sera is separated from Emily, the other seraphim. Emily was devised that Sera had chosen to allow the exterminations, which led to distrust and betrayal between the two.

Sera also tries to sway the mind of Emily. Sera holds a hatred, or a prejudice, towards sinners, and forbids Emily from helping Charlie with anything to do with rehabilitation, going as far as to continually justify her own actions by saying that she had to do she could "keep heaven safe". She is overprotective as well, and projects her fears of Emily falling onto the younger Seraphim, much like how Lucifer projected his fear of heartbreak onto Charlie.

But wait, there's more. As we all know, Lucifer's prideful decision was giving Eve the apple of knowledge in hopes of satisfying his creativity. However, he ends up spreading evil into earth and ultimately getting "locked out of heaven" (just dance fans laugh please). Not only is he punished by being kicked out of paradise, but he also is cursed to the shame in only seeing the bad parts of humanity that HE had created. This is why he loses faith, despite having the opportunity to be its leader. Side note: this is what makes episode 8 so much stronger - Lucifer ends up defending the sinners of hell, showing his change in perspective over the course of the season.

Even though she is supposed to be virtuous and righteous, Sera also makes a prideful decision. This is her agreement to allow the extermination. She does this because her pride is threatened by the uprise of hells power due to Lilith's influence. Because she feels threatened, Sera's first thought is to allow a genocide to happen under her control. However, unlike Lucifer, she has no predetermined consequence. Instead, she suffers the guilt of knowing she has allowed this heinous act. This is why she so desperately hides it from heaven's population, because she is ashamed of her decision.

In conclusion, Lucifer and Sera are two sides of the same coin. While one resides in hell, the other "flourishes" in heaven. However, while Sera stifles the spirit and ambition of Emily, Lucifer changes his view on sinners through Charlie, and thus allows her to continue chasing her dream of the hazbin hotel. Or, in this case, to "shine in the spotlight". If Sera and Lucifer are such parallels, then I predict Sera to eventually make the same choice as Lucifer, and allow Emily to support Charlie in her mission of helping sinners get into heaven. Cause what Sera really needs is to have a change of heart.

Why has Husk never stood up for himself, especially when uncomfortable over Angel's advances?

Well, what if it's because of the very deer who owns his soul.

(TW FOR SLIGHT SA/ABUSE REFERENCES, MENTIONS OF BEING DRUGGED) (ITS ANGEL DUST)

ALRIGHT YALL, BEAU IS BACK WITH ANOTHER ANALYSIS. I'm so excited to be writing a Husk-centric one, he's one of my favorite characters!

So, we all know Angel likes to flirt, and this is mostly because of the way he copes with his own situation. Husk makes it very prominent about his discomfort towards these gestures, as he's the main victim of Angel's fake flirting.

While he shows his discomfort, however, he never actually tells Angel to stop. All he does is push him away, weather that is an annoyed reaction or literally pushing him away. He never sets boundaries, or even says no to him.

This all changes when Charlie introduces the concept of boundaries to Husk, as she had crossed Angel's earlier with the Valentino situation. While Husk seems annoyed about her remark, he takes it to Husk.

When Husk talks to Angel after saving him from being drugged at a club, we notice him setting boundaries for the first time, saying that Angel is always "pushing [his] boundaries". He also uses the same language he learns from Charlie earlier with the boundaries talk.

But why does Husk never set boundaries before this? Because he can not.

Husk is on a leash, meaning he has to take every order from his boss, or he could lose his life. He can't say no.

And Alastor's treatment only reinforces how not only hopeless he is, but how powerless he is over his own life. He can not back away from Alastor's grasp, and it makes him feel like he has no choice on how others treat him, especially with Angel Dust.

I wonder who's situation this remind me of?

But it makes sense that one person struggling with boundary issues is the one to hurt someone else struggling with boundary issues.

But when Husk opens up about his boundaries, it makes both parties feel better. Husk feels more in control of his life, having the ability to say no. Angel dust feels in control of his life as well, having the respect to not have to essentially sell himself to feel respected, as boundaries are in place to respect all involved.

Because he is willing to open up about his boundaries, it actually makes Husk feel more comfortable around Angel Dust, as he knows Angel's remarks will only be that of light hearted rather than sexualizing (to an uncomfortable degree). This is why Angel and Husk are able to become so close; as the trust formed between them allows them to open up to each other. This is a healthy relationship. Romantic or not, HuskerDust has really gone a long way for the best!

What if I told you Alastor lost the fight with Adam

because Lilith forbid him to kill Adam

First of all, why did Alastor not have an angelic weapon when he was fighting Adam?

When fighting began, he put up a shield around the hotel and KILLED angels with an angelic axe using his shadow.

However, when fighting Adam, Alastor is armed without angelic weapons, which makes no sense. If angelic metal is the only thing (we know of so far) that can kill angels, why wouldn't he be using it when fighting the ONE ANGEL THEYRE TRYING TO KILL???

If this battle was planned ahead of time, as in Charlie made a plan for Alastor to face off with Adam, wouldn't she give him some angelic weapons to kill him with? Charlie looked so unprepared to fight Adam herself, and even more unprepared to see Alastor no longer was there. Even she must have thought Alastor died.

Dispite all the big talk, I think Alastor had no intention on killing Adam, but rather to be a distraction to keep him away long enough to take out the angels and weaken Adam. He actually did a toll on Adam, by throwing him against that sign. His shadow is powerful, but without the angelic metal, he had no chance at killing Adam.

Obv, he wasn't expecting to DIE, as he is really shocked in the outro song about his injury, but you can't convince me he was planning on KILLING AN ANGEL without that angelic metal.

Also, Alastor is extremely powerful, he's once grew to the size of the hotel to kill a bunch of loan sharks. He's killed and dethroned numerous overloads, and broadcasted their screams to all of hell. The power he has is insane, but he barely uses it against Adam, only ever summoning shadow creatures and throwing around his shadow.

As we find out at the end, Lilith and Lute made a deal over Adam's life. Since he's dead, Lute "is in charge now". Lilith's end of the deal was enteral paradise, so it makes sense as she would want Adam alive. If Lilith most likely owns Alastor's soul, then it would also make sense for her to not want him or any other souls she owns to kill the man keeping her in paradise.

WOAH. DO YALL SEE THAT?? THAT RED X??? OVER HIS THIRD EYE???

AND THE 3-SET OF ARMS (/Shadow arms)??? RESEMBLING THE WINGS??? THAT ONLY ANGELS HAVE???

you all remember what happened last time a character had a red x…

And also…

Lilith was in heaven for 7 years, and Alastor went missing for 7…

What is Alastor has a connection to heaven? Assuming Lilith was the gal he made a deal with, he probably resorted to heaven during that time. I'm not saying him himself is an angel, unless he fell, because he SPAWNED in heaven, but he could have connections to heavenly power of sorts...

Edit: Yeah, shortly after posting this last night I learnt that he got shot in the head by being mistaken for a deer… oopsies.

[beau-is-here]

Alastor is the embodiment of the pride ring.

SPOILERS BELOW

"Great Alastor Altruist died for his friends"

He can't fathom to imagine getting help from others, and his ego is crushed by being portrayed by hell as a soft guy who redeemed himself. On the topic of redemption, this little quote from the final song mirrors the death of Sir Pentious, who literally died for his friends & Cherry Bomb, and his death LEADS TO HIS REDEMPTION. (Alastor redemption arc confirmed???). He cannot fathom being seen as soft, or even having friends. Or, after witnessing death, he realized that his friends are the thing making him soft...

His whole conflict with Vox is a test of pride on both parties, as they both fight publicly over who is "better". Obv Alastor eats Vox up, but is Alastor really the guy to be worried about how the public sees him after being insulted by Vox? Yes. Yes he is.

He absolutely does not want to be reminded of his powerlessness when confronted by Husk. I think his outburst speaks for itself.

And the fact that he lost to Adam??? He's all bark and no bite. However, he also mirrors Vaggie with his fighting style. He constantly puts himself at risk, leaving the opportunity for Adam to strike him (like how his radio staff was broken) because HE DOESNT REALIZE THAT HE CAN DIE. Like how Vaggie didn't know she couldn't be killed because she was an exterminator, Alastor's ego has gotten so big that he thinks no one can kill him. I'm not gonna get much into his reason for fighting, but he sure as "hell" isn't fighting for love like Carmilla said in her song.

OR: Alastor has a fragile ego and he covers it up with smiles and radio static
