ive already yapped about this a lot. but stella is a HORRIBLE villain. for more reasons then just one.

the one ive already yapped about is that she just takes a backseat to “more important” male villains (striker, her brother whose name i cant spell) and vivzie still wants her to be threatening and dangerous.

but, she doesnt even have a reason to be a villain??? at the most, she should be as sympathetic a character as stolass!

why? well, she was also a victim of what the fans empathize with stolass about! she was forced into an arranged as a 10 year old might i add. and essentially RAPED into birthing and heir. and she was also HUMILIATED in front of her family and friends and CHEATED ON. this poor woman!

and vivzie tries to make it seem like she was the devil reincarnate as a 10 year old so people are like “oh she was a big ol’ meanie!!!! she deserved to be raped, cheated on, and forced into an arranged marriage!!!”

i do NOT trust vivziepop with stella’s character and i therefore am adopting her. make her a compelling villain, or actually make her a sympathetic character. istg.

[let-me-twink-about-this]

No. I refuse to believe that Vivziepop actually cares about SA victims. Every piece of evidence points to the contrary. 

CW for images that discuss or showcase rape. Tread cautiously.

First, let’s look at the Glitz and Glam Valentines merch. In this merch, they’re seen groping each other and making a scissoring pose.

The common excuse for this is that they’re just playing into those twincest tropes because that’s their whole brand in the show. But the merch exists outside of the show. This merch was not made in the show to show how the porn company will do any depraved fetish for a quick buck. This merch was made for people in the real world, people who have actual twincest fetishes. You can have merch of them playing into the fact that they’re twins without making it to where they are sexualizing one another like that.  An example of this trope done right are Hikaru and Kaoru from Ouran High School Host Club. These 2 often times play into the twincest trope for money, it’s their whole brand. But the show is very clear in showing us that this is not truly them. We never see them behave this way outside of work. Outside of work, they act like actual brothers. They’re doing it just for money. (And it’s also kind of trauma, but watch OHSHC if you want to see that in depth lol)

I was discussing something with my friend, how fiction does affect reality, since fiction is a direct byproduct of reality, which is why things like incest or age gap ships are inherently wrong. My friend (who is a big Hannibal fan) goes “I get where you’re coming from and I agree, but I’m also a simp for fictional cannibals.” And to that I said you are less likely to meet someone who is a cannibal or done that heinous crime than you are to find someone who’s a victim to incest abuse. It’s similar to how Vox doesn’t receive hate from the fandom for killing lower income workers, because that’s almost cartoonish in how bad it is.

Then there’s Val. The show is constantly fluctuating between him between a genuine, sinister threat and then him being a ridiculously silly evil man that we shouldn’t take seriously. I can almost understand what they’re going for, showing that he’s an absolute loser that we’re meant to point and laugh at, because he is a loser (fuck sexual abusers). However, there’s a huge disconnect. It’s jarring when you switch between the two on a dime. And I think part of the reason they do this is because of his relationship with Vox. Vox is meant to be a silly, goofy villain and so pairing him with the genuine sinister and disgusting version of Val that we all know and hate, it would feel weird. But here’s the thing. NONE of the Vees should feel cartoonish and stupid like this. They’re supposed to be perceived as actual threats, apparently. So, instead, make Vox genuinely sinister and evil too! ACKNOWLEDGE HIS CAMERA IN ANGEL’S DRESSING ROOM! ACKNOWLEDGE HIM MARKETING VAL’S DATE RAPE DRUG! Don’t add these background details if you’re not going to acknowledge that Vox is a predator as well. 

And then there’s Charlie, who has the power and authority to take Val down if she wanted to. But why doesn’t she? Because, in her words, “That would be so meaaaaan.” …I have nothing to say to that. 

And then there’s Angel. He is not deep in the slightest. They tried so hard but failed miserably. He’s supposedly from a mafia background. You would never know because he’s never seen outside of anything sexual. Sex jokes, comments on how he’s sexy, talking about how he’s a sex worker, all that jazz. He has nothing going for him outside of sex. Which is bad when his whole arc is meant to be how he hates being sexualized deep down! I understand that the show is trying to show us that he’s hypersexualizing himself because of his trauma. But this rings hollow when the show refuses to show us literally anything outside of him being sexual! Apparently, he likes to sing and dance. But you wouldn’t know that! (I know he sings, BUT EVERYONE SINGS. IT’S A MUSICAL. Even Vaggie sings when she clearly didn’t like it in the first episode, so Poison doesn’t count). You wouldn’t know anything about his interests because all he’s used for is for sex. It doesn’t help that literally almost all of his merch surrounds him being sexualized in some way, feeding into the idea of him hypersexualizing himself not being taken seriously. 

This is especially bad when you remember that when Viv was marketing the music video for Poison, THIS WOMAN MADE A CUM JOKE! Yknow, the music video all about sexual abuse? Ya, let’s make a stupid sex pun because that’s not tone deaf at all! Fuck you Viv.

And only certain characters get their sexual abuse shined on. But if you’re, say, Blitzo, Sir Pentious, or Husk, your SA experience is completely swept under the rug and ignored. Why? Well, because Blitzo and Husk are more masculine characters than her twinks who get acknowledged for their abuse. And Pentious is a character we’re supposed to be pointing and laughing at. 

And don’t even get me started on Raphielle. This person is a storyboard artist for the show, and the storyboard artist for Poison. AND THIS MOTHERFUCKER HAS A RAPE FETISH! I kid you not! This person has even drawn art of Angel being raped by Vox and Val. I refuse to believe Viv cares about abuse victims when she has someone like this on her pay roll (whom she actively defends, mind you). She even lied, saying that this person is a victim of sexual abuse, to which this person admitted was a LIE. 

Also, how she treats fans who are also victims of SA. Everytime someone comes forward, saying that they didn’t like the depiction of sexual abuse in the show, Viv will dogpile on them (the most famous example of this being Limus). But then if a fan who is a victim of SA praises the depiction, she will put them on a pedestal. This is tokenization at its finest!

And, hey, let’s talk about Viv’s catcalling comic, too!

In this comic, two women are being catcalled. One hates it and the other likes it, saying that it means they’re attractive. The one who hates it then starts yelling at the other girl and based on the framing of the scene, it feels we’re supposed to hate the first girl and think that the second girl was right. FUCK. THAT. This comic could’ve been such an interesting commentary on victim blaming and unhealthily coping with SA by justifying it to yourself. But no. That’s not what was done here. Great.

what the fuck, vivzie?

if you dont know, glitz and glam (the characters in the pictures) are SISTERS!!

theres also a entryway mat piece of merch (i sadly couldn’t find a picture) with them TIED TO EACH OTHER in ribbon NAKED!!

now, besides the fact that this merch is the cringiest thing ever and no sane person would ever purchase it, let alone DISPLAY IT. its just disturbing.

its incest! and it makes wonder, why did vivzie not make them girlfriends or at least just work partners???

and this might be jumping to conclusions, but it could be because vivzie doesn’t find wlw relationships as “kinky” as mlm relationships and she needed to make them sisters for it to be “good enough”.

think about it, helluva boss deteriorated for stolitz. and while the “main relationship” in hazbin is wlw, its not displayed. its very obvious that blitzo and stolas are together in helluva boss, but there have been hazbin fans who dont even know chaggie is a thing until the reprise of more than anything!

i might be blowing things out of proportion, but even if its not because wlw arent “kinky”, its still disgusting, its still incest, i still hate it.

vivziepop… just make them girlfriends?????

AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN KEEP THEM AS SISTERS AND HAVE THEM DATE ASWELL

[let-me-twink-about-this]

idk why vivziepop tries so hard to make it seem like stolass thinks “so highly” of blitz when really he is basically just racist towards him and rapes him.

like no stolass, you dont think “so highly” of blitz. you called him your impish little plaything, raped him as an “agreement” over some book, and refuses to respect blitz’s boundaries.

no blitz, you dont NOT have to apologize to your abuser for not liking him and what he’s doing to you.

this entire yaoi “love story” REEKS of stolkholm syndrome and a shit ton of guilt tripping on stolass’ part.

stolass hater to the day i die.

blitz defender to the day i die.

[let-me-twink-about-this]

genuinely what the FUCK

this is more of a criticism of the fandom then hazbin itself.

you guys CANNOT say you care about rape victims and STILL say shit like this.

assuming this is one of the people that despises valentino and yet they still are like “ooo! i’d LOVE to look at some nonconsensual videos of a RAPE victim CHANGING CLOTHES!”

it kinda reminds me of this other thing i saw on Pinterest

(its a little hard to see but basically its a smash or pass list)

at the bottom is obviously valentino (i agree with 100%)

but at the top is vox and velvette. people who are completely fine with being friends with someone raping angel dust and made RAPE POTIONS and probably INSTALLED SECRET CAMERAS IN ANGEL’S CHANGING ROOM.

the hypocrisy of this fandom is such an issue. you SAY you care about rape victims but still wanna see nonconsensual videos of them changing. you SAY you hate valentino for raping angel but THIRST over velvette and vox who obviously are fine with valentino doing it and might even partake in it themselves.

[let-me-twink-about-this]

HOW IM SORRY HOW?

all i do is yap about vivziepop that aint entertaining

[let-me-twink-about-this]

eugh

just found an old pinterest comment from when i watched helluva

it was basically just praising stolass for being a good dad (spoiler alert, he isn’t)

[let-me-twink-about-this]

you know, when i first watched hazbin i thought “oh! a secondary conflict will be charlie’s relationship with her dad! right?”

from what we saw, he seemed like a piece of shit father. or at least a little neglectful. i mean, he’s the king of hell! he has to be bad! and that could’ve been cool to explore.

but nOoOooOoO, vivziepop needs her twinks to be great uwu babies!

all the conflict that charlie and lucifer was resolved in one episode with a silly little song! charlie and lucifer’s relationship was obviously not that great or healthy. you cant just establish a bad relationship and then have it wrote away with a “i love you!” song!

thats shitty writing, vivzie

[let-me-twink-about-this]

another instance of helluva boss being sexist

helluva boss tries to make it seem like stella is a bitch and some monster for being rightfully upset that her husband cheated on her and publicly humiliated her.

but also, the show doesn’t want her to be an actually threatening character! if they wanted her to be a important villain, don’t make her use her brother and striker to carry out all her actual villainy!

they really only created her to push forward vivziepop’s uwu yaoi relationship and not to be an actual compelling villain.

pick one, vivienne, do you want stella to be a threatening and well written villain, or do you just want her to be a “whiny bitch”? you cant have both

Honestly it sucks that Millie gets the least amount of focus, because in my opinion she's probably one of the most interesting characters, conceptually.

She's a female assassin who specializes in giant weapons and hand-to-hand combat. She's happily married to another assassin who has a more timid and calm personality. She's strong, confident, bold, and outspoken, but is also allowed to be caring and supportive (mainly to her husband).

She started off just doing her assassin job for money/to support her family but it soon led to a career she loves and even helped her meet her husband.

She's from a big family who loves her and mostly supports her job and choices. She has a pretty great relationship with said family but is also a part of a found family with her husband, their boss and his daughter.

She's a pretty stock southern architype but she's also allowed to be emotionally mature and occasionally pretty smart rather than just being a hick 100% of the time.

All of that intrigue, complexity, and story concepts that the writers do nothing with! 'Cause why focus on your actually cool characters when you could make 500 episodes about some whiny bird bitch?!

^^^ My irl reaction to seeing how badly the writers fumbled Millie's character

[let-me-twink-about-this]

vivziepop. you cant alwaysbmake your characters likable. they’re in hell for god’s sake. every sinner in the show is a bad person or they wouldn’t be there.

for example, angel dust, the show tries to make it seem like he went to hell for doing drugs and drinking. but you cant just go to hell for doing drugs and drugs only. angel was a part of the mafia! he killed people! and the show tries to pass him off as a misunderstood guy.

no! he’s a murderer! he’s not a good person and he’s in hell for a reason.

why did vivzie put her show in hell if she’s so terrified to write a bad person as an actual bad person?

especially her higher rank demons. the seven deadly sins represent a reason a person could go to hell. make them be sinful!

satan is literal… satan! dont make him a comedic relief guy struggling with anger issues! make him satan!

lucifer is the king of hell! dont make him a amazing father and some twink! make him someone worthy of being king of hell! my god!
