i've also forgotten/blocked out about 60% of what happened in hazbin anyways. i was shocked to remember that cherri/pent is canon the other day

[sirdust]

i forgot that when masquerade came out it pissed me off so bad that i sketched several shitty doodles of pilot husk killing series husk in the sort of old-spongebob-killing-new deviantart image genre

"millie accidental pregnancy arc" WHO LET THEM IN THE KITCHEN. GET THEM OUT OF THE KITCHEN

fyi the reason i've been thinking about this is bc villainous (or at least antagonistic) ozzie so could have been something. i'm not opposed to arcs where relationships bring out the better in someone but the change in characterization between seasons is SUCH a huge jump. the reason it's especially bad though is bc we see ozzie's complicity in hell's social stratification in mastermind (ie harmonizing with satan and the other sins during the musical number) and that SO! COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING. i'm clawing at the walls you don't get it

i try not to look at fandom takes anymore but the latest ep was enough of a mess that it had me curious and. like. "ozzie couldn't have done anything without lucifer there !!" dpmo okay. if satan was actually the original ruler of hell or something that would be more acceptable but his claim to power is apparently so illegitimate that ozzie and bee publicly roll their eyes at it. there is zero worldbuilding done to suggest that satan is more powerful than the other sins (sans luc) apart from him just Saying It. and being bigger than all of them (dumb as hell btw. leviathan should be the biggest for obvious reasons)

my point here though is that there's a much better story to be told about a character who is a part of hell's lawmaking system, who possibly *created* the succubi as a distinct race, and who is in a relationship with one of the underclass but fails to ally with the underclass in meaningful ways.

it's so antithetical to everything the show is trying to pretend it's saying when your response to criticisms of an aristocratic character whose status is maintained on the basis of lower classes' subjugation is "well he did his best. he voted for a fair trial!"

thinks about s1 fizz and ozzie and sighs big and huge

ok watched the new ep while sober and honestly . it's s1 tier for me. s2 has PROBLEMS problems but i liked this one... i liked this one

[sirdust]

so mad about the new ep lol so pissed that they ruined stolitz the way they did when they did. not actually mad but the way you get mad when you've just tried the edible that made your partner have a 24 hour high after one bite of the thing. my point is that this ep would have gotten me soooooo bad pre-s2 and they squandered it SQUANDERED ITTT

[sirdust]

man it would be so cool if helluva boss was good

Is it bad that I really hate Cherrisnake as a ship? Like, it's incredibly one sided, no? The only times she ever shows interest in him are for bullshit sexual reasons like him having two dicks for that him kissing her was "kinda hot". Idk, I just don't see the chemistry, is that weird?

just remembered i got this ask oops lol.

i think the issue here is less that sex is a principal factor in this ship and more that the way the writers understand sex feels very juvenile. it also feels detached from the way the characters' personalities actually are. if the characters had some sort of sexual tension that was written with their personalities and established dynamic in mind, it could be interesting, but pent is ooc and cherri was considerably dumbed down for the full show.

it's symptomatic of the series' general disregard for consistent characterization and motivations. i can't explain or analyze it particularly well because it defies the storytelling standards that are typically necessary to build a believable world/cast. every character knows and wants exactly what they need, which is already bad because it makes a character arc feel redundant--but then on top of that, character arcs straight-up do not happen on-screen. it's weird! it's weird and bad.

Hello! I recently came across your account and you make some very interesting points! I do have to ask, what is your opinion on Lute? She is my favorite

funny you ask, i do like her tbh. her interruption in ep6's song was one of the more memorable moments for me both musically and character-wise (not just with regards to her but for the show as a whole). i like her design too. she almost has a joan of arc thing going on with her hairstyle and the chainmail, which is fitting for her crusader attitude.

i won't be watching s2, but if i were it would probably be for her and rosie.

this is still the best piece of hazbin hotel fanart i ever drew

It’s me again. I never stop bugging you because you are the one place for trans Pen/Sirdust stuff. And image that popped into my head that I thought you would enjoy: Pen being wrapped around Angel like how a snake wraps around their owner. Basically a way Angel can hold Pen because I’m weak to couples carrying each other :’D

this was cute and i wanted to draw it… more arms = easier to carry ur noodle bf

HOLY SHIT YOU'RE ALIVE HIIII i've been trying to find you

I translated your sirdust fic once (I had a different username then tho)

So... yeah... how you doing

yoooo i remember you !! always wondered what happened to you. glad to see you're alive as well 🫡

i've been doing well! obviously i am no longer a fan of hazbin but that's no big deal to me anymore really. mentioned it before but i've been getting really into transformers lately.

thanks for the check-in!

The one thing I'm glad about is that all the former fans are in agreement that we need to take Sir Pentious out of this show and put him and his eggbois in a warm cardboard box full of blankets and impractical laser weapons.

he's inspired by characters from much better cartoons and it shows tbh. i feel like the writers understand what worked about guys like zim or lord hater and were able to apply those principles correctly through pentious (at least through the first few episodes). the same cannot really be said about charlie or vaggie.
