I'm having a CRISIS
So, recently, I've gotten curious. So I looked up how tall RF Wally is. AND IT SAYS HES 11'5"?! I THOUGHT HE WAS 9" SOMETHING AFTER DODO GAVE UP ON HIS CHARACTER! SOMEONE HELP!
Unrelated, kinda, but I saw someone comment on one of BlueRaven666's past videos about a theory about RF Wally. More specifically, the tree. The theory was along the lines of 'What if the tree falling wasn't an accident? What if it was WALLACE trying to get rid of Wally?'

I’ve decided after a lot of thinking and after I was granted permission I’m going to start working on an alternate AU fan comic with my self insert Elleira for The Bad Ending Series by @BlueRaven666 and the name I’ve chosen for this AU is The Blackout AU. It’s going to be a very slow process since iv never done this before lol but I’m excited to build this story.
Tumblr media
A little bit about Elleira. Age: 15. Species: part coyote and part lynx. Height: to be determined. Eye color: a mix of red purple pink and yellow resembling a sunset. Hair. Dark brown.
Rough back story: Elleira was orphaned after her parents were murdered when she was 10. She then lived in the local orphanage for 5 years until she was adopted by Wally and Raggs along with one of the infants she grew close to Leon. And then somewhere in there she’s going to get into a fight with a worker at the factory and some stuff happens kicking off the start of her adventures in the factory. Oh and “It” is going to make an appearance hehe. I’m so excited to emotionally beat the crap out of these characters but don’t worry it’ll have it’s fair share of fluff.

Remember how alaster changed the hotels name to hazbin hotel? Well the meaning of hazbin means "no longer popular, successful or happy"
I think Alastor sees everyone who would come into the hotel as a hazbin. That word could some up every member of the cast.
Charlie is a princess her people don’t give a shit about and is seen as a total failure. 
Vaggie could be a fallen Angel (which I will get to soon). She could have been cast aside by heaven and exiled.
Angel is popular as a porn star but he isn’t respected as one. He isn’t successful because Val keeps nearly all the money he makes, to point where he barely has enough to live on and he’s certainly not happy.
Alastor is a powerful and feared overlord but he’s bored and has felt uninspired for decades. 
And the rest well...hell. That alone would make someone into a washout. 
There could another reason Alastor changed the hotels name, as proposed by youtuber, Blueraven 666
I’m going to put the video here for people to watch because I want to support this lady.

BlueRaven666 and Gray: Arrival of Adina fanfiction
(Hazbin Hotel and Zoophobia)
 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXaxReyJNiKDJQ6g75jigxg
Main Characters:
Tumblr media
  BlueRaven666:
The main protagonist (besides protagonist Charlie and antihero Alastor in Hazbin Hotel). He is a dragon demon OC (made by a real life YouTuber who is known for his fan made theories for Hazbin Hotel). Blue Raven appears as a blonde haired man with blue eyes, white curved horns from his head and white skin. He is LGBTQ+ and transgender. He wears a blue shirt with 666 on it.
Gray:
Tumblr media
Another protagonist. A gender neutral Exterminator who was left behind in Hell after the other Exterminators thought he was dead. Blue Raven decided to take them in and rescue Gray. This led to a temporary truce between an angel and a demon. Blue Raven and Gray each tell their stories, from roommate shenanigans to lore of Heaven and Hell to theories about other characters (See Blue Raven’s YouTube videos and collab with inSaiyans).
 Fitch:
Tumblr media
Neutral antihero. Fitch is a dragon demon with glasses, green eyes, a pale face and dark green hair with light green tips on his tufts. After Fitch lost a battle with an Exterminator, Adina noticed his skill in fighting and using a bladed weapon. She took him in and manipulated him into joining her. He is stern and analytical, but has a good heart deep down. Fitch would only disobey Adina if she threatened to kill his brothers…which is what he eventually did. With the help of Hatchet, Gray, and Blue Raven talking to him, Fitch gradually decides to join them to protect his brethren.
 He can transform into a large dark green dragon, the largest one out of his brothers.
 Quotes: “I have three younger brothers.”
 Quotes: “Do you feel like being more talkative…”
 “I’m getting impatient. Killing you would be simple. But I refuse to do so without the information on the whereabouts of your fellow filth. I know your beasts have a safe haven…”
 “Stop talking! Tell me where I can find the others. Or I break it.” (holds a pendant with a spider on it)
 “You have been most unhelpful.”
(Fitch holds a dead moth in his hand)
 (Flashback) “I’m so sorry little one. I promise I will never hurt one of you again.”
 “Take your wretched friend. I’m allowing you to live simply out of a respect to a promise. Pray our paths don’t cross again…demons…” (Fitch spares Vaggie and Angel Dust)
 Adina: “You let them live. I am disappointed in you.”
 Fitch: “So am I.”
 Malcom:
Tumblr media
Malcom, appears as a crazed dragon with large milky eyes, messy black hair and light green wings.
 Like his brothers, he can transform into a dragon.
 Quotes: “Malcom…I rarely think about, actually…”  - Fitch describing his brother.
  Marx:
Tumblr media
A dragon who wears a black tuxedo suit. He has a pale face, dark purple hair and yellow tips on his tufts. Marx prefers to be more civilized to fit into demon society, while his brothers are off either messing around or in Fitch’s case helping to kill demons. Like Carl Marx, he questions everything and believes in conspiracy theories.
 Like his brothers, Marx has the ability to turn into a dragon. His scales are dark indigo and his horns and tops of his wings are yellow.
  Quotes: “My brother Marx and I are no longer in contact due to disagreeing on certain life choices we have made. He makes me sick.” - Fitch describing his brother.
 Hatchet:
Tumblr media
A dragon demon with a white face, orange eyes with red irises and bright orange hair and tufts. His arms have markings on them. Tattoos cover his entire body. His saliva is acidic and he drools when he’s excited. He can form images by breathing fire. He is always in a good mood and doesn’t mind physical affection. (unlike strict Marx). He loves eating small creatures, especially rabbits. He has instinctual control over his fire but he often plays with it, using batons to do tricks.
Like his brothers, he can transform into a dragon. His scales are dark orange/brown.
 Quotes: “Hatchet and I see each other often. He is a handful, but admittedly, he is my closest family.” -  Fitch describing his brother.
  Adina:
Tumblr media
Adina is an antagonist and an evil white angel with teal glowing eyes and long white hair. She wears a dress decorated with blue borders decorated with white crosses on them. She is zealous and manipulative. Leeson, the God preaching cat works for her as do Exterminators. Her goal consists of killing and torturing demons…ironically she employees a dragon demon Fitch to do her dirty work. She hired Fitch to find demon hideouts so more demons could be killed during the year. This would also make it easier for the Exterminators every year as well since they cannot go into demons’ hidden hiding places. She appeared in the deleted comic “Angels and Demons” by Vivziepop.
 Adina Quotes: “There is no mercy for the damned...” –torturing a demon
 Adina Quotes: “Just remember…it’s for the greater good.” Adina to Fitch.
 “I’m very disappointed in you.” Adina to Fitch after he let Angel Dust get away.
 “Such is the will of the Lord…so shall it be…” Adina with Fitch.
 “Goodbye, Fitch.” Adina to Fitch.
 Charlie:
Charlie is a protagonist and the blonde-haired musical princess of Hell. She is the founder of the Hazbin Hotel, a place intended for the rehabilitation of demons to combat the yearly exterminations. Her girlfriend is Vaggie, a moth demon. Her goal is to have demons, angels, and humans live in harmony, and she hopes for more demons to go to Heaven (even though Heaven is elitist).
   Vaggie:
Vaggie is a gray-haired moth demon who is Charlie’s girlfriend. Though pure at heart, she swears and gets aggressive often whenever someone tries to hurt Charlie. She was formerly a Latina human named Vagatha who died due to gang rape and a hate crime (she was a tomboy and lesbian). She used to be an Exterminator but she refused to kill Charlie and follow orders, thus she fell to Hell. She and Charlie bonded and fell in love.
    Lucifer:
Charlie’s father, a fallen angel, and the king of Hell.
 Lilith:
Charlie’s busy mother and queen of Hell. She is a singer for the Resist band and a model.
 Alastor:
Alastor is an antihero who arrives at the Hazbin Hotel to help out (though only for his own enjoyment). Alastor is a powerful demon with Eldritch powers and dark magic. He wears a red dress coat and clothing from the 1900s. He was a former radio host, cannibal, and serial killer in New Orleans. He is part French and part Creole. He died in 1933 due to being mauled by dogs and shot in the head. Malicious and pompous, he toppled powerful overlords and took over much of Hell, while broadcasting his murders. Alastor enjoys seeing others fail because it’s entertaining for him and makes him think of his higher status. Many suspect he wants to use Charlie to try and take over Hell, dethroning Lucifer and spreading chaos everywhere. Despite his evil side, he is also a gentleman who loves jambalaya, singing, dancing and telling jokes.
  Husk:
Husk is a grumpy black and white cat demon with a small top hat and red wings with card suits on them. He drinks alcohol and booze and loves to gamble. Alastor summoned him from a casino, where Husk reluctantly agreed to be the bartender after Alastor bribed him with a bottle of booze. He is a loner and is sometimes violent.
 Niffty:
Niffty is a magenta/red haired small cyclops demon. She works as the housekeeper of Hazbin Hotel, cleaning up rooms, cooking, and sewing. She is hyperactive and is obsessed with men. She enjoys reading and writing in her spare time. Alastor summoned her from a fireplace in episode one.
 Angel Dust:
Angel Dust is a white spider demon, who wears white and pink clothing and often carries weapons and drugs. Formerly an Italian named Anthony, he was a member of an Italian mafia like his family. He died from a drug overdose…presumably Angel Dust. He is gay and has six arms to aide him in turf wars. He has a brother, Arackniss, a father, Henroin, and a white spider mother Aranea (Latin for spider). He is the Hazbin Hotel’s first client, though a deviant, he has a good heart and shows some concern for others.
  Molly:
Angel Dust’s wild twin sister, also a white/pink spider. She and her brother share a strong bond, despite both of them doing drugs, being violent and getting into sexual situations with other demons. She and Angel are friends with the 80’s rebel and punk Cherri Bomb (Formerly Isabella from Australia).
 In a twist of fate, there are also a few angels who help the demons. Charlie, the princess of Hell is part angel. Molly, Angel Dust’s twin sister is not a demon but perhaps an angel in another form, but she protects her brother and fights off Fitch with Vaggie’s help after he is interrogated and tortured by Fitch and Adina.
 In addition, one Exterminator, Gray, was taken in by a (OC) demon named Blue Raven, another dragon demon. They had formed a temporary truce after Gray had been left behind during the last Extermination.
 The final battle results in the dragon demons teaming up with the other demons, Lucifer leading the fight against Adina.
 Adina tries to manipulate Fitch and Gray into working for her…and she even briefly possessed Mirage (a Zoophobia villain), Gray, Fitch, and even Alastor (who also wants to see demons fail but for his own fulfillment). Charlie frees Alastor while Blue Raven helps Gray and Fitch break free from Adina’s influence. Vaggie unlocks her super moth demon form…and it is revealed that she is a former fallen angel/Exterminator. With nothing but an angel harpoon in her hands, she had been banished to Hell after refusing to kill Charlie, thus they fell in love. (See “Falling From Grace Landing Into Love” fanfiction and Vaggie theories.)  Adina sends Exterminators after the demons, but Lucifer effectively holds them off, reminding them of their original role of killing demons once per year. Charlie knows this is not right and she’s determined to redeem sinners at the hotel even more than before.
Charlie, Alastor, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Husk, Niffty, Mimzy, and Crymini all join the fight, Lucifer battling Adina and breaking free from her possession. Baxter, Vox, and Sir Pentious (The Techno Trio) make inventions and technology to aid the demons in the fight. Lilith helps other demons get to safer hiding places, including the second Circle of Hell where Tom, Tam, and Lolly Gag (Zoophobia incubus and family) appear. Adina vows revenge and eventually retreats. Fitch reunites with his brothers and thanks Blue Raven for his help.
 But Fitch is still haunted by what Adina did to him…and it takes a while for him to recover. The remaining Exterminators order Gray to kill Blue Raven…but they do not. The angels close the portal before Gray has a chance of returning. Gray sighs and is willing to tolerate Blue Raven a little longer.

// Headcanon: preparing for extermination day is like hurricane prep. A nod to this video by BlueRaven666, the way they describe how to survive extermination is very similar to hurricane prep!
Basically, get all your stuff before the stragglers scramble and go feral in the grocery store, get your non-perishables, stock up in case extermination affects the supply of food to Pentagram City (destroyed stores & infrastructure, massive loss of workers & capital involved in the transportation of food, etc), prepare for lengthy power outages, prepare for contamination in the water supply, hide in a place with solid infrastructure, and hunker tf down.

Why doesn’t Lucifer like Charlie’s Hotel idea? I know.
So in the Pilot for Hazbin Hotel we hear Charlie say that her dad aka Lucifer feels that she is a disapointment. Which is not true. Im here to give you a prediction of what really happened. But first watch the BlueRaven666 god theory on youtube for a better understanding.
Lucifer raises charlie in a safe invionment, secure from all evil. He wants her to be happy and make her own choices. Which causes her to be the bubbly ray of sunshine she is. 
Charlie now being a free spirited woman hates seeing people suffer so she talks to her dad about creating a hotel to help dambed souls get redeemed and go to heaven. Lucifer says no without explaining why which causes Charlie to not drop the subject and keep pushing the subject to her dad causing him to get angry and lash out at her. He shouts at her and says something along the lines as “you disapoint me” which causes her to either lash out at him saying something mean, or to burst into tears and runs off to her room. 
Lilith with her motherly instincts swoops in and comforts her daughter and agrees to give her the old family theater on the promise of if she can fix it up and renovate it she could make it her hotel. Charlie takes the deal and begins working with Vaggie who im guessing she met on the streats and takes her in to help her. (Reblog if you want a theorie that follows Charlie and Vaggies Origin story.)
Lucifer finds out and is upset cause the reason Lucifer never wanted Charlie to build it was to protect her from the truth that God and heaven are not as perfect as they seem.

Blue Raven 666: Exterminators and theories
BlueRaven 666 is a YouTuber who has created videos about many intriguing theories for the web series, Hazbin Hotel. BlueRaven 666's channel. Gray the Exterminator is his original character. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXaxReyJNiKDJQ6g75jigxg I'm posting the transcripts/fanfiction to show support.
Tumblr media
Gray is an Exterminator angel OC created by BlueRaven 666, the YouTuber’s demon OC name. Gray has blue eyes, a blue smile and an X over their right eye. A blue tipped horn is their unique physical trait.
The Golden Rule of the Exterminators by BlueRaven 666 
Tumblr media
Gray: “Greetings mortals. The diabolical cretin known as Blue Raven has kindly asked me to explain the rules we Exterminators follow during Hell’s annual extermination. These rules ensure that as many of us survive the full 24 hours we spend in Hell as possible, while simultaneously taking out as many sinners and demons as we can.”“There are some rules that are quite obvious. Don’t hold back. Kill as many of the damned in your line of sight as possible. Don’t let the denizens of Hell get ahold of your weapon. Spare nobody, no matter what they may say or do. And perhaps the most important rule of them all: be wary of the buildings you pass by and those you choose to enter. Now you may be asking yourselves, why is this rule so crucial above all the others? Most would think that if the Exterminators aim to kill as many sinners and demons as possible, the buildings would be the number one spot to find those that try to hide from us…and you would be right in your assumptions. The denizens of Hell who have witnessed past exterminations know to take shelter in the nearest building.”
“The problem for us comes in when it comes down to fighting as creatures with wings. Fighting in close quarters with a demon can become very problematic if we aren’t able to access an immediate escape route. We are aware that Hell is home to the likes of Alastor, the Radio Demon, Vox the Television Demon as well as our fallen brother, Lucifer. Not even a dozen Exterminators possess the power it takes to take even one of those individuals down. Entering a building where any one of them could be hiding could be a death sentence for us. The only exception for this rule is if a building is already old and dilapidated, or if it is one that has suffered a lot of external damage from the turf wars that constantly raged throughout the rest of the year. These buildings are usually obliterated on site and all sinners and demons taking shelter there are swiftly dispatched if they can be managed.”
“In summary, the Golden Rule of the Exterminators is to avoid fighting in close quarters. Being outside is needed in order to efficiently dodge fatal blows that could be dealt by an opponent and there are plenty of denizens in Hell that can define themselves on the streets on extermination day anyway. While we’re fully willing to lay down our lives for this tradition every year, it’s most certainly better to be safe than it is to meet a likely slow bloody death at the hands of a demon. That’s all I have for you today. Have a blessed day and God be with you.”
Gray the Exterminator Q and A Part 1 by BlueRaven 666 
Tumblr media
Gray: “Greetings mortals. It has been brought to my attention that my presence in Blue Raven’s domain has been met with overwhelmingly positive reactions from his loyal followers. Many of you seem to be curious as to who I am as well as well as the overall nature of Exterminators as a species. Today, I will be answering some of your questions in order to shed some light on what exactly Exterminators do and how we think. I have selected 20 questions to cover that will allow me to help you become more familiar with who I am as an individual. Worry not, if your question doesn’t get answered. With an ever-increasing number of questions being asked daily, many will have to be answered in later installments. Patience is a virtue, embrace it.”
Question 1: How did you get lost?
Gray: “Ah yes. I believe Blue Raven mentioned that our meeting was caused by me getting lost shortly after Hell’s most recent extermination. I was knocked unconscious whilst battling a demon. My fellow Exterminators presumed I was dead and left me behind. As a result, we do not collect the mortally wounded or deceased once the extermination has ended. While Heaven is visible from the skies of Hell, returning is not as simple as flying back. Doing so would be the equivalent of trying to fly from Earth to the moon. Blue Raven has decided to take me in, forging a fragile truce between an angel and a demon until the situation is resolved.” Question 2: What is your gender/sexuality?
Gray: “Most Exterminators are ambiguous to gender though many believe us to be female, but we tend to leave it up to the individual to decide which pronouns they prefer to use. My preferred pronouns are “they” and “them.” Sexuality: asexual.”
Question 3: Were you born in Heaven or on Earth?
Gray: “I was born into a family of seasoned Exterminators in an area of Heaven that is inhabited by Exterminators exclusively.”
Question 4: How nervous were you during your first extermination? 
Gray: “The level of anxiety an Exterminator feels during their first extermination is usually high. The first thing we’re told by the lead Exterminator before we are sent into Hell is that death is a very real threat. New recruits are ordered to group up with three to five more experienced angels in order to stand a better chance at surviving our first extermination day. I was not scared of dying personally. It was the long list of demons that were known for killing Exterminators that I feared facing.” Question 5: What is your preferred method of killing demons?
Gray: “We are urged to make the death as swift and painless as possible by our superiors. A sword or spear through the head is my preferred method used to dispatch a demon.”
Question 6: Can demons kill angels?
Gray: “They can and they do if they are powerful enough. We are not invincible.”
Question 7: What is your rank in the Exterminator hierarchy?
Gray: “I am what would be referred to as a soldier. Soldiers are the lowest rank and are basically seen as cannon fodder until they gain more experience.”
Question 8: Did you choose to become an Exterminator?
Gray: “In the grand scheme of things, no. Those who are born into families of other Exterminators are expected to join them once they are of age. Failure to comply would mean an immediate banishment to Hell as we are naturally too bloodthirsty to be good for anything else around Heaven.” Question 9: Why do Exterminators look like demons?
Gray: “The armors’ design was thought up decades ago by an Exterminator by the name of Thistle. (English name meaning “prick” or “thorn”). He used the horns of a demon to blend in with Hell’s populace in an attempt to avoid being attacked. Tragically, he was killed after being mistaken for a demon by his comrades. They took his brilliant idea back with them, altered it so that it was more distinguishable from the populace in Hell and the final design has remained ever since.”
Question 10: Are you a fallen angel?
Gray: “I am not. I realized the situation I’m currently in may make it seem that way, but I still hold my status as an Exterminator.”
Question 11: Why is the tip of one of your horns blue?
Gray: “The original version of this question mentions an imp by the name of Blitzo.”
Blue Raven: “It’s pronounced “Blitz.”
Gray: “Come again?”Blue Raven: “It’s Blitz, the o is silent.”
Gray: “Why do you miserable brutes insist on having such peculiar names?  Regardless, this imp is known to have white patches on one side of his face just as I can be identified by the blue color on the tip of my right horn. These unique traits are known to Exterminators as identity tags, as my coloration is fairly unique amongst Exterminators in general. These details make it easier to tell other angels who I am when I’m on duty.”
Question 12: Are there Exterminators trying to kill all of the demons during the Extermination?
Gray: “Many will try, even though it is futile. Hell is many times larger than the Earth and its population can be more than double on the day of extermination. Even if the amount of sinners was half, we wouldn’t be able to kill them all in 24 hours.”
Question 13: Have you ever had to fight someone you loved?
Gray: “No. Any angels that fall from grace nowadays are typically slaughtered by Hell’s denizens within weeks following their banishment.” Question 14: What is the punishment for breaking the Golden Rule?
Gray: “The Golden Rule of the Exterminators is not law. It’s treated more as an unspoken rule that is learned the hard way. As such, the consequences of breaking the Golden Rule of the Exterminators is usually severe bodily harm and death.”
Question 15: Have you ever met Alastor, Vox, or Lucifer?Gray: “I’ve been acquainted with our fallen brother Lucifer as he and the Lord tend to contact each other every great once in a while. If memory serves, I’ve never had a negative encounter with him. I’ve only caught glimpses of Alastor and Vox. Safe to say, I don’t wish to get myself wrapped up in a battle with either of them.”
Question 16: Is there an overlord you’d like to kill?
Gray: “Every Exterminator tends to have a personal list of individuals they’d like to slay. The only ones I have on mine are two individuals. The first is the insect type, Katie Killjoy and the second is a sinner that goes by the name of Gray Man, the despicable monster Albert Fish.” (American serial killer, child rapist and cannibal)
Question 17: Who is your least favorite demon in Hell?Gray: “Well all of them are terrible, quite frankly. However, the one known to Hell as Valentino (porn owner) especially makes my skin crawl.”
Question 18: Who has been your most difficult encounter so far?
Gray: “I would say the holder of that title goes to the one known as Niffty. She has a reputation of being so fast that no Exterminator can catch her.”
Question 19: Why does the Extermination happen?
Gray: “Overpopulation has become an ever-increasing problem in Hell and it continues to worsen with each passing year. The Extermination has been set in place to ensure those who are sent to Hell will have somewhere where they can be integrated into the population.” Question 20: What is your opinion about Charlie’s plan to rehabilitate sinners?Gray: “The topic is quite controversial amongst those in Heaven. Some believe it is genius. Others believe it is pointless. I personally try to keep an open mind. It sounds impossible but stranger things have happened.” “I hope I was able to satisfy your curiosity over me and the behaviors of my fellow Exterminators. Have a blessed day and God be with you.”  Gray the Exterminator Q and A by BlueRaven 666 Part 2 
Tumblr media
Gray: “Greetings, mortals. This is a continuation of your hard-pressed questions about Exterminators and myself as an individual. As we have the luxury of time on our side, today, I have selected 25 questions to answer and we’ll be going into further detail in my responses as much as I can.”   
Question 1: How many angels/Exterminators are there in Heaven? 
Gray: “Due to my status as an Exterminator, I can only really speak for the total population of Exterminators that reside in Heaven. To put it in perspective, Hell maintains an average population of 15 billion denizens. There is one Exterminator per every 300 of Hell’s denizens, bringing the total population of Exterminators to around 50 million. However, we only make up a small percentage of the total number of angels in Heaven, roughly 5 percent, according to some. Going by that math, the total number of angels residing in Heaven to be over 1 billion. In comparison, the world population on Earth is around 7.8 billion.”  
Question 2: How does an Angel become an Exterminator? 
Gray: “I should mention that Exterminator is a status that very few in Heaven wish to obtain, but there are three ways one can achieve it. The first and most common way is by being born into the life. True, it may not be something within your control, but it’s a fact. The second way is by appointment by the Powers. This happens for a multitude of reasons, but it’s usually because an angel has committed a sin and is granted an opportunity to choose their fate: be banished into Hell or serve as an Exterminator until the next Extermination day passes. The third and least common way one can become an Exterminator is by volunteering. Volunteers typically require extensive psychological screening by the Powers and Virtues and must meet several requirements before their request is approved (physically fit, flight training, strong will, intelligence test, respect for higher ups, etc.) These screening occur under the belief that an ordinary angel who wants to become an Exterminator could be experiencing sinful thoughts and is seeking an outlet they can unleash these thoughts on. Such individuals are considered to be highly dangerous and can rarely be trusted. (Similar to how one would view a person wanting to be a soldier to kill for sport or for criminal acts)”   
Question 3: What is the difference between an angel and an Exterminator?
 Gray: “Angels are given several rights and opportunities that Exterminators cannot be trusted with. For example, an angel can be entrusted to carry out the duties of a guardian angel on Earth. Exterminators cannot. Angels may also be chosen to accompany the Archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, etc.) as they communicate messages between man and God. An Exterminator would never be considered for such a role. We may be entrusted to communicate the status of Hell and its denizens to God but only if the situation has reached crucial status.”    
Question 4: Why do Exterminators have an x over their eyes? 
Gray: “The X over the right eye of an Exterminator is a symbol of one’s status as a full soldier. Those still in training will not receive this mark until they are ready. Think of it like a brand logo. It’s the mark of the officially of one’s rank as an Exterminator.”  
Question 5: Can Exterminators fall in love? 
Gray: “Of course they can, though it may be difficult. Most Exterminators experience trouble getting along with one another. This can be for any number of different reasons: conflicting personalities, personal rivalries, or a general lack of interest in the individuals that surround them. This tends to be the most common issue that Exterminators face when it comes to looking for love. Most will even agree to be partners simply for the sake of carrying on a bloodline.”    
Question 6: Can angels/Exterminators reproduce?
Gray: “Well, yes. Those that reside in Heaven are granted that privilege.” 
  Question 7: Is it possible for Heaven to become overpopulated?
 Gray: “I would say it’s possible, yes. However, it would be incredibly unlikely. Heaven and Hell differ greatly in size. To put it in perspective, the size difference between the two realms would be like comparing planet Earth to the sun. The sun is so large that 1.3 million Earths can fit inside of it. That’s how big Heaven is compared to Hell. Between the number of angels that eventually fall, the number of Exterminators that are lost in the Extermination each year and those who arrive in Heaven after death, overpopulation is a threat that Heaven need not worry about anytime soon.”    
Question 8: What do Exterminators do when it isn’t Extermination day?
Gray: “Much of the time, we simply just sit and wait for the next one to arrive. We do our best not to fight amongst ourselves and spend time with our families if any members have survived and spending time indulging in our own interests and hobbies.”  
Question 9: Do Exterminators train for battle? 
Gray: “Yes. We Exterminators are trained up for months before every extermination… quite vigorously, as a matter of fact, granted we cannot accurately replicate the climate or terrain of Hell, or the abilities of most demons. But we’ve managed to brush up on the basics, work with new recruits alongside more seasoned Exterminators and practice new attack and defense strategies up until the next Extermination.” 
Question 10: What is your favorite weapon? 
Gray: “Most of the time, I, along with many other Exterminators, will choose to use a sword or a spear. Spears are lightweight and easy to use, without having to be too close to an opponent. Swords, while they are considerable heavier, are double-edged and work quite efficiently. My favorite weapon to use, however, would be a crossbow. It may not be the most practical weapon by any means, but it is quite efficient at taking down demons from a safe distance.”  
Question 11: What do Exterminators think of modern weapons? 
Gray: “Most Exterminators share a simple common interest in weapons and artillery. We find devices such as firearms, tanks, aircrafts and nuclear weapons to be utterly fascinating. However, such weapons are viewed as far too devastating to be used during the Extermination. Close range combat serves as a reminder that we are taking lives by our own hands and that fact is emphasized tenfold when we look into a victim’s eyes moments before they draw their final breath. Plus, imagine the amount of work it would take to get a tank from Heaven into Hell and back again.”  
Question 12: If you die a non-sinner, do you become an angel? 
Gray: “If you die having never committed a single sinful act in your life, I believe you will be ranked higher than an angel. That’s grounds for sainthood, if I’m not mistaken. You may be eligible for placement amongst the first triad in the hierarchy of angels at the very least.”  
Question 13: What happens when an angel/human/demon dies? 
Gray: “When we die, our consciousness is plunged into what is known as the void. The void is an infinite expanse of nothingness that extends for eternity. In the void, you shall feel no joy, no pain, no sadness, no thirst, and no hunger. There will be no sound, nothing. (It will be the same state as before birth). Imagine the deepest sleep you’ve ever fallen into that will become your reality once you’ve been plunged into the void and it shall continue on until the end of time. Death connects us all.”   
Question 14: Are there any Exterminators you can’t stand? 
Gray: “Oh goodness, where to start? There Alabasdor, one of the few that willingly volunteered to become an Exterminator. He’s not quite right anymore and enjoys making demons suffer slow, painful, gory deaths during the Extermination. There’s Flax, one Exterminator who really can’t be bothered. He averages around five kills per extermination, while everyone else averages between twenty and forty. The exterminator that takes the crown for being the most unbearable to me, however, is called Silver. She’s like Alabasdor but ten times worse. The only reason she hasn’t been banished into Hell yet is because she holds the highest kill count after every extermination. It wouldn’t be so bad if she didn’t spend a month gloating over her victories afterwards.”   
Question 15: Has an Exterminator ever been saved by a demon before? 
Gray: “Not in any case that’s been documented. It would appear that my situation has been the first recorded case of an Exterminator being saved by a demon. That isn’t to say it has never happened before, however, most demons pounce at the first opportunity to take an Exterminator’s head as a trophy.” 
Question 16: Could an Exterminator form an alliance with a demon?
 Gray: “Impossible. No demon could trust an Exterminator to allow one to assist them with anything and the Exterminators are too bloodthirsty to find it worth their while to help a demon. The truce between Blue Raven and I seems to be unique amongst the usual relationship between demons and Exterminators.”   
Question 17: Do you have a favorite demon?
Gray: “I believe the princess of Hell is every angel’s favorite demon.”  
Question 18: Have you ever met a docile demon?
Gray: “I believe that Blue Raven is the most docile of his kind along with Princess Charlotte and Tom Trench.”    
Question 19: Has an Exterminator ever spared a demon? 
Gray: “Most do not. We kill every opportunity we’re given during the Extermination. However, we do tend to spare imps and demons that are expecting and find themselves without shelter, as well as individuals we know for certain will be too much for us to handle. It may not come across as professional, but in our eyes, it's the run-of-the-mill ordinary demons that are a dime a dozen and serve as our main target.”  
Question 20: Do you think it’s possible for sinners to be redeemed? Gray: “Possible, yes. However, I believe the question remains as to whether or not there will be enough individuals seeking redemption who will actually be able to achieve it. At least the annual Extermination will no longer be necessary. (That what Charlie hopes). There is also a significant number of demons that have obtained a high social standing in Hell society and have gained a significant amount of territory. As a result they may not be so keen on letting go of that status.”  
Question 21: What would happen if God was killed? 
Gray: “Such a fate is not possible. Speaking hypothetically, however, the death of the Lord would plunge everything in existence into the void. The entire universe as a whole world would cease to exist.”   
Question 22: What do you think of Angel Dust? Gray: “He isn’t the worst sinner that’s out there. However, I would prefer it if he stayed no less than 10 feet away from me at all times.”   
Question 23: How does God feel toward Lucifer? 
Gray: “Our brother’s name is only mentioned in Heaven as a cautionary tale for other angels. It serves as a reminder that no matter what one’s social standing might be in Heaven, even those closest to the Lord can fall from grace if they choose to repeat his past transgressions. But everyone knows that Lucifer is still his favorite. (He was the light bringer and one of the first angels. Lucifer got banished from Heaven due to his pride and view of Man as inferior to Angels. He wanted to have more freedom, even if it meant going against the rules.).” 
  Question 24: How would you react if you met an overlord of Hell? 
Gray: “Depending on the individual, I presume one of two things would happen. I would either be killed on sight or verbally toyed with until I lost my patience. Given my current state, I cannot afford an encounter with an overlord of Hell. I suppose I would just keep my distance and avoid making any moves against them at this present time.”  
Question 25: How old is Blue Raven by demon standards? 
Gray: “Blue Raven, I believe this is a question for you to answer.”   
Blue Raven: “Alrighty then. How old am I demon’s standards? Well, that’s a loaded question. Some people think it’s how long you’ve lived on Earth with the number of days, weeks, months or years you’ve spent in Hell added onto that. Others just count by the amount of time spent in Hell alone. Just to make it seem less pathetic, I’ll go with the former and say I’m 23 by demon standards, which really isn’t much when you’ve got demons like Alastor, Vox, Angel Dust, Mimzy, etc. who have been down there decades longer. Back to you, Gray.” 
Gray: “That will be all for this session. We sincerely apologize if this session was longer than anticipated (but why apologize?). Stay tuned for more Q and A. Have a blessed day, and God be with you.” Gray the Exterminator Q and A by BlueRaven 666 Part 3 Gray: “Greetings, mortals. Before I begin this installment of questions and answers, there are a few things I would like to say. Firstly, Blue Raven and I wish to thank you for helping this channel, surpassing 6,000 subscribers. We are grateful for your support and look forward to what’s to come as the channel continues to grow. Secondly, we have been made aware of the crisis that is currently taking place on Earth and urge everyone to stay safe out there in the coming weeks. The sooner humanity works to keep each other safe, the sooner this crisis will end and social events and activities will resume. To start this off, a lot of you seem to be curious about my interactions with Blue Raven since I would up down here and became a part of his YouTube channel.”  
Question 1: Are you and Blue Raven getting along? 
Gray: “I will say that there are quite a few pros and cons about living with a demon. Our sworn truce prevents us from killing each other. However, we do tend to get on each other’s nerves quite a bit. Speaking in expletives is practically a second language down here, whereas, it’s a forbidden one in Heaven. I can easily make my point without the use of swearing or curse words, a concept that Blue Raven seems to struggle with. Have you got anything to add to this?”
Blue Raven: “Oh no, F**ck!”
Gray: “You see?” 
Question 2: Do you and Blue Raven do anything to annoy each other?
Gray: “Well, Blue Raven has been trying to coax me into swearing as well. Most demons are nocturnal and Blue Raven is no exception. The brightness of his computer screens tends to keep me up during the night as he works.” 
Blue Raven: “Ok, my turn. Gray is an angel and is required to worship God Every. Single. Day. That…uh…that kind of behavior tends to call problems for us demons.” 
Question 3: What is life like for an Exterminator in Heaven?
Gray:  “Not good. Not terrible, by any means, but most definitely not good. You see, we’re not the pure, innocent souls like most angels in Heaven. We exist solely to kill. As such, our lives solely revolve around training for the next extermination and keeping the demon population in check. We are taught from an early age to be apathetic, which tends to bleed into our daily lives outside of the Extermination. This can lead to us being unkind and uncaring toward our fellow Exterminators, including family and friends.” 
Question 4: What is Heaven like, over all? 
Gray: “From an Exterminator’s perspective, it is like the way humans view the Earth’s oceans: fascinating, vast, and largely unexplored. You see, Exterminators make up roughly five percent of Heaven’s total population and we aren’t permitted to step outside of our boundaries, unless we’re needed. What we Exterminators know about Heaven is limited to what we know about our own territory and what Exterminators that have been recruited from the outside population have told us. The region of Heaven where Exterminators dwell is very simple. We have houses, neighbors, families, children, pets, gardens. There are public places where we can partake in outdoor activities and social events like sports as the weather is usually comfortable year round. Popular sports in heaven include volleyball, gymnastics, and competitive flight races.”
Question 5: “Do you have any friends?” 
Gray: “I do. His name is Cinder. He’s a former angel that was recruited to join the Exterminators for questioning God’s rule. He can be identified by an X that completely takes over the place of his right eye, pearly armor and a sad expression cast over his face rather than the traditional malicious smile most Exterminators bear.”
Blue Raven: “Gray has a bit of a crush on Cinder!” 
Question 6: How are Exterminators viewed in Heaven’s society?
Gray: “Our existence is a bit controversial amongst the denizens of Heaven. There are some who see us as a necessary evil that is essential for keeping the population of Hell in check. Others see us as being no better than the demons we slay. Regardless of whom you may ask, however, no angel who isn’t an Exterminator wants to be associated with one.”  
Question 7: Do you ever wish you weren’t an Exterminator?
Gray: “Sometimes. There are days where I wonder if being an Exterminator is the only thing life has to offer me. However, being an Exterminator is all I’ve ever known and I’m not sure how I’d be able to handle deviating from that path.”  Blue Raven: “You could just stay down here, where nothing is off limits and everyone wants to kill you.” 
Question 8: Do you have to earn your wings/halo/weapons?
Gray: “Our wings manifest in early childhood and we learn how to fly in adolescence. Our halos are given to us once we reach adulthood and as shown as a sign that we are ready to step up and join our fellow Exterminators as soldiers. Halos are hand-made and made of glass. All first time soldiers are given the choice to carry a sword or spear. With other weapons such as crossbows, sickles, and scythes, require additional training and must be earned.”   
Question 9: Is there a minimum number of demons an Exterminator has to kill per Extermination?
Gray: “Yes and no. It is frowned upon if an Exterminator doesn’t like to kill demons at all. However, those chosen from the outside population of angels are told they only need to achieve one kill per Extermination. The average kill count for an ordinary soldier is between 40 and 50. More experienced Exterminators or those who happen upon a larger number of demons in a particular area can score up to a hundred or more kills. Silver’s highest kill count stands at 392.” 
Question 10: What is your highest kill count?
Gray: “My highest kill count stands at 74. Most of the victims were imps.” 
Question 11: Would you kill a child/baby that was born in Hell?
Gray: “No. Most Exterminators won’t, especially babies. Even the children at are born in Hell are defenseless up until a certain age. Coming across a child or an infant in the streets during the Extermination is rare and we are more inclined to go after the parent responsible for leaving the child unattended rather than the child themselves.”  
Question 12: How long do most Exterminations take?
Gray: “We are usually in Hell for the full 24 hours on Extermination Day. However, sometimes we finish our work early and elect to return to Heaven. Extermination Day feels like the longest day of the year! The shortest recorded Extermination lasted for 16 hours.” 
Question 13: What would an Extermination look like in Heaven? 
Gray: “If Heaven ever became overpopulated to the point of where an Extermination was being considered, the Exterminators would be the first to be weeded through. Angels would also most likely go through rounds of vigorous testing to see if they are deserving of Heaven. Those who obtained entry simply by accepting God but never acting upon it (those who have never prayed or gone to church), would likely be banished to Hell automatically.” 
Question 14: How do Exterminators travel to and from Hell?
Gray: “There is a portal that we go through that is summoned. It looks like an enormous tornado that is just beginning to form! It is disorienting to go through, but it is much quicker than just trying to fly.”  
Question 15: Can humanity contact Heaven/Hell?
Gray: “Uh, Blue Raven, do you have an answer to this?”
 Blue Raven: “Indeed, I do. We’ve only recently discovered a way to contact the living world trough social media, but it’s a pain in the ass and only Vox and I really know how to do it. You could also do it the old fashioned way, with Ouija board, or some ancient ritual. Proceed with caution if you do decide to use an Ouija board. Go poking around online for a while and you’ll run into something. I’m not responsible for what happens if you successfully summon a demon! We’ve stopped accepting animal sacrifices as payment, so stop killing animals to try and summon us demons. Animal abuse is bad! We don’t take that kind of payment anymore.
”Gray: “Raven, what happens to kids who end up in Hell?”
Blue Raven: “Well, define kid, because I consider anyone who looks younger than 16 a kid. Regardless, 99 percent of the time when you see a child in Hell, chances are they’re a natural born demon, but there are mortal born children that die and end up in Hell and usually they deserve it. You know the brats they are, nothing but mean and disrespectful to everyone that’s around them. Kids that have killed animals intentionally for one reason or another, the ones that engage in sexual or drug activity at a very early age, willingly. Mind you, there are children that wind up in Hell and it’s becoming more common as time passes. There is a line that kids are crossing to where they aren’t beacons of innocence anymore and they aren’t given a free pass when they wind up in Hell. In fact, they are the first ones to be singled out to be tormented by the demons down there and most of them can’t do a damn thing about it. So I’d say if you’re a kid, younger than 18 in human years, get your act together. Save the adult things for when you are an adult because God doesn’t care if you’re a kid, what age you were when you died, if you soul has been corrupted enough to go to Hell, then you’re going to Hell and it’s not going to be a fun experience.��� 
 Question 17: How many sins does it take to send a person to Hell?
Gray: “Blue Raven said that if you committed enough sins, to the point where your soul is no longer pure enough for Heaven, you will be sent to Hell. It could take as much as killing a single person without remorse or committing several sins.”  
Question 18: Why are you gray?
Gray: “Because both of my parent’s natural coloration was gray. I just am. Why I was named Gray, I don’t know. It wasn’t my idea.”
 Blue Raven 666: “It was my idea to create Gray and Blue Raven as my avatar OC.”
Question 19: Can girls be Exterminators?
Gray: “Of course they can. In fact, I believe women make better Exterminators than men. They tend to be more flexible, agile, and better at quick decision-making than males.” 
Question 20: Do humans have an accurate depiction of God?
Gray: “Not in the slightest. I can’t go into much detail under angelic law, but he’s definitely not like how humans see Him. His image has been corrupted by so many human minds that couldn’t handle the information they were presented with that they came up with a much more appealing image, most humans know today. They changed His overall image to better fit their own ideals.”  (God is supposed to be a figure who is accepting of everyone’s background, provided they do good things in their lives. Worship is important, but doing good actions for one’s community and the world is even better. Good and bad behavior is learned over time as people grow up. We learn from our parents, peers, teachers, the government, and social institutions, religion being one of them. As we are created in His image, we must do our part in honoring Him and caring for ourselves and humanity the best way we can. He manifests in different faiths: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. Messengers of God, Jesus, Abraham, Mohammed, etc. are different individuals who represent similar cultural ideals. He not only is part of nature and the universe, He is those very things. He is often depicted as a bearded man in the clouds, kind of like Zeus, but he is more than that. He takes forms beyond just human. He is light, His is the life-giving sun, He is the star-filled night that makes us look up in awe and wonder. He can be felt in every act of kindness, every prayer and devotion, in all the moments where people come together to ask for forgiveness, share their stories, or to just share the comforting, if not orderly experiences of going to church every Sunday. Over time, humanity has altered His image to exclude individuals who don’t fit certain standards (ex. loving the same sex, those who do not believe in God, marginalized groups of people etc.) Church and religion has been seeped in the desire for money, power and privilege, instead of its assumed role in bringing communities together who believe in something greater than themselves. “Love thyself, love thy neighbor, love thine enemy”…religions set standards and views of what is right and wrong for people to follow. But has that always been true? They say His word and rules never change, but when society evolves over hundreds of years, one comes to realize that one thing that’s forever constant is change…and as God is constant, change is also a part of Him.)(Feel free to disagree, I’m not religious.)
Gray: “That’ll be all. Blue Raven, I’ll let you take things from here.”Blue Raven: “I am NOT doing the “God be with you” part, just so we’re clear! Thank you guys so much. We know things are bad out there, we know you guys are probably getting restless and want to go out and do things with your buddies, but the best thing you guys can do for yourselves and your loved ones right now is obey any stay at home orders going on at the moment, practice, social distancing, and for f**ks sake, wash your hands and wear your protective face masks when you go out. Use common sense, don’t be dummies! Sooner people start cooperating, the sooner the orders will be lifted and businesses can reopen. Going out to get a haircut isn’t worth you or your loved one’s life, alright. Stay safe out there.”Gray: “But I thought you hated the humans.”Blue Raven: “Shh. They (other demons) don’t need to know. Humans watch my videos, after all.” 
Blue Raven 666 Interrogation Q & A by BlueRaven666 Part 4
Tumblr media
 Blue Raven: “Hello everyone, Blue Raven here, and for this session of questions and answers, we’re switching things up a bit. You see, between the Q and A sessions we’ve done so far and my last upload a lot of info was leaked that Hell has been taking note of effectively pissing off Gray and causing them to quite possibly holding me at spear-point as I’m recording this. So for this session, Gray will be taking a break as I answer some of your hard pressed questions about myself, demons, and life in Hell. I’m gonna be honest, you guys had a lot of questions and so I think that justifies Gray’s feelings a bit. I mean, you all know more about them than you do me at this point, so I’ve picked 24 of your most hard-pressed questions about me, demons, and Hell.”
 Gray: “I have answered a total of sixty five questions for you, Raven. I refuse to come back until you’ve done the same.” (Now Blue Raven has to post more videos lol)
 Blue Raven: “Oh god dammit.”
 Question 1: How long have you been in Hell?
 Blue Raven: “Almost five years, I believe. First got here summer of 2015 and I’ve been here ever since.” (Perhaps when he started YouTube?)
 Question 2: What kind of demon are you?
Blue Raven: “Okay, you see, I didn’t know the answer to that, myself, until just recently. There’s a lot going on here: the blue wings, the tail, the horns, none of which are immediately identifiable as a single type of animal. As it turns out, I’m a dragon demon. Yes, Hell has dragons and dragon demons. It actually took another dragon demon to point this out before I realized it. (Was it Hatchet from Zoophobia? What if Blue Raven met Fitch and other dragons while Gray has to escape Adina, the evil head of the Exterminators who tortures other demons?)
   Question 3: What are your powers/abilities?
 Blue Raven: “Nothing that’s worth writing about, really. I can breathe fire, fly, grab things with my tail, and thanks to Vox, I know how to contact people and entertain in Hell and the living world. That’s knowledge that I can’t leak to anyone or Vox said he’d kill me so don’t bother asking.”
  Question 4: Which city do you live in?
Blue Raven: “I live in the part of Hell that’s known as the Styx, a.k.a. the middle of fuckin’ nowhere. Vox actually had to have a communication tower built where I live just so I could receive Wi-Fi because I don’t want to live in the city.”
     Question 5: How do you die?
Blue Raven: “Okay, let me make you all aware of the first unspoken rule of Hell: do go around asking everybody how they died. Natural-born demons will take personal offence to that (“Are you saying I’m a low scum sinner?”. What I will say about my death was that it was the result of a broken heart. Put the pieces together and I’ll eventually figure it out.”
  Question 6: Why are you in Hell?
Blue Raven: “Oh boy. Let me list the reasons; not believing in God, practicing witchcraft and Satanism, reading Tarot, I interrupted a church service once, being LGBTQ+, gluttony, big one right there, envy, greed, sloth, you know, I think I’m beginning to see why I’m a dragon demon.
 Question 7: What is daily life like for a demon in Hell?
 Blue Raven: “Well, I mean I can’t speak for everyone that’s down here but on a typical day, I wake up, have about three cups of coffee, eat some breakfast, watch some YouTube videos, work on some of my own videos, go to my day job at the local preschool. After work, I chill out at home for a little bit, watch some more YouTube videos, work some more on my own stuff, and then I go to bed and that’s my average daily routine. If you hear of me doing anything more than that, it’s a special occasion.”
 Question 8: Does time still apply to Hell?
 Blue Raven: “Yeah. You can’t visually tell the difference between day and night, but we have a.m. and p.m. We have clocks and calendars, so time still does apply to Hell, it’s one of the realm’s ongoing tortures, actually.”
  Question 9: What is the government system of Hell like?
 Blue Raven: “Very simple. If a member of the royal family orders you to do something, yeah, do it. If one of the Gnostic demons orders you to do something and you’re a lower rank than them, you do it or get ready to fight and lose. If an overlord tells you to do something and they’re more powerful than you, you do what they say or square up. Demons and sinners can pretty much do what they want down here, but the moment someone of a higher rank or someone who holds more power gives you an order, you better do it or you could end up being double dead before the next Extermination comes around.”
 Question 10: Is there gender/racial segregation in Hell?
Blue Raven: “In a way, yes. You’ve probably heard the saying birds of a feather flock together, right? That aspect tends to be applied to Hell society. Demons usually socialize with those of the same species, or those that are down here for the same sins. One type that nobody associates with down here are the cho-mos (child molesters) and the perverts. It gets kind of complicated when it comes to gender, though. You see, I’d say around 90% of us don’t really know how to keep it in our pants for those who were born human. That fact doesn’t really matter because we’re infertile, but natural born demons are able to reproduce, so unless they’re looking to create a boom in the population, the males and the females tend to be kept separate.”
  Question 11: Where do new denizens spawn in Hell?
 Blue Raven: “Literally anywhere. There’s no one single place that sinners manifest after they die. We don’t fall through arriving in Hell. It’s almost like waking up, only in a totally different from and someplace you’ve never been before.”
 Question 12: Do people in Hell get sick?
Blue Raven: “Yes, we do. You can thank pestilence for every pandemic or illness to ever come into existence on Earth, but we do get sick down here in Hell to rot. Horn rot, tail rot, hoof rot, a whole lot of rot. But tapeworms are coming down here too, and you can’t trust the doctors down here because most of them are either witch doctors, plague doctors or quacks. So if you do get sick down here, you’re kind of screwed.”
 Question 13: How do demons get their forms?
Blue Raven: “It depends on a wide variety of factors. Your personality, your sins, how people viewed you in life, how you died and so on. We continue to change and evolve as we continue to exist in Hell so forms can change over time. (I mean, look at this guy, he’s a fuckin’ gun.)”
 Question 14: What happens if you get injured in Hell?
Blue Raven: “Unless it’s an angel’s weapon, or your form gets completely destroyed beyond repair, nothing. Bruises and scratches heal pretty quickly. Broken bones take only a couple days to heal up. Bullet and stab wounds are nothing. The bitch of the situation comes in when it’s an angel’s weapon. Then the injury takes eight times longer to heal, and it if’s fatal, it’s fatal.”
 Question 15: Would you ever sign a contract/make a deal with an overlord?
 Blue Raven: “I kind of already have with Vox. I wanted some decent technology to start making videos online. I got a hell phone and now I work for him. Don’t make deals with demons, kids.”
 Question 16: What is your relationship with Vox?
 Blue Raven: “It’s just an employer-employee sort of dynamic, nothing more.”
New message from: Vox: Oh so you’re a liar now too, eh?
Blue Raven: “Stop tapping into my microphone you creep.”
     Question 17: What would happen if someone were to break a deal with a demon?
Blue Raven: “Oh, you don’t want to do that, my friend. Your soul will belong to the demon for all eternity either way, unless that demon gets killed. Humans have been killed for trying to break off their deals if not them, than their friends, family, and even pets. Again, don’t make deals unless you intend to hold up your end of the bargain.”
 Question 18: How does a demon become an overlord?
Blue Raven: “Do I look like a demon that has achieved overlord status? I don’t know. I know Alastor defeated a bunch of overlords that used to be in power, so I guess that’s one way to go about it.” (Demons who have committed a bunch of horrible sins (both in Hell and on Earth) and had an infamous status on Earth are more likely to become overlords…especially those either born to higher class families on Earth or those in Hell who have tapped into their powers and evolved. In Hell, the “Survival of the Fittest,” “Might Makes Right” applies very often.)
    Question 19: Who’s the oldest demon in Hell?
Blue Raven: “I’m pretty sure it’s Lucifer, along with the other fallen angels that were cast out along with him. (Beezelbub, Leviathan, Azael, etc.)
    Question 20: Is Lucifer a fallen angel?
Blue Raven: “Yes.”
  Question 21: Why are you so nice for a demon?
Blue Raven: “I don’t know. I think I might be trying to compensate for something. Who knows?”
   Question 22: Are you tired of being in Hell?
Blue Raven: “If I’m being honest with myself, no. I get tired of certain people, yes, but in my own opinion, Hell isn’t that bad, at least where I’m at. I’m a dragon demon, so I’d say I’ve adjusted to Hell’s climate pretty well I think. If it’s miserable down here, yeah well that’s because you’re from Heaven where everything is perfect, (angry) including the temperature.”
   Question 23: Do you think Charlie’s plan could work?
Blue Raven: “I mean, I think it could be in theory, anything’s possible, right? However, there are a lot of sinners that are leading good lives down here that they really don’t want to give up. So I think it’s all a matter of if a sinner wants to be rehabilitated and go to Heaven. You can’t exactly help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves.”
 Blue Raven: “Okay, that’s 23 questions answered. Whatever, this was fin. Now let’s hope I don’t get into any major trouble for it.”
   Greetings, mortals of Earth. I am an angel who was born in Heaven long ago. You’ve probably heard of us: we are messengers of God who sometimes visit Earth to send messages or bless individuals. We are often portrayed as holistic beings with golden halos, white feathery wings, who play harps and frolic around in the ever-sunny sky. Well, Heaven has those kinds of angels, but there are many different types. Angels are divided into groups called choirs. From the highest rank to the lowest are: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. They all serve a variety of roles, from guarding God’s throne, to maintaining cosmic order, to inspiring harmony in the human and spirit world. Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel, are some of the most well-known, important Archangels.
There are also Angels of Death who are in charge of punishing sinners, often using flaming swords and other methods. There are some who aren’t as destructive and bloodthirsty, as, say, Samael. In fact, one angel, Azrael, is a benevolent being said to guide the souls of the deceased after death. Puriel judges and examines each soul after death. But still, there are others who teach sinners and the unfaithful harsh lessons, even beyond the grave. Sorry, getting a little off-topic here. Where do I come in and who am I?”Others call me Gray, and I am an asexual, gender neutral black-winged angel and Exterminator.
I know what you’re thinking, “A dark murderous angel without a gender or sexuality? That can’t be true.”
Alas, it is. Just like mortals, angels can identify as male, female, transgender, and anywhere in between. However, we are strongly encouraged (or perhaps even ordered) to push aside feelings of passion, lust, and other messy emotions. After all, we are constantly on duty, and all our destinies lead to one true purpose: unification with God. Or the universe, or the cosmos, however you’d like to phrase the inevitable force that connects us.
You see, not all of us are pacifists, born or made. I was born in a section of Heaven that is not found in your Bibles or textbooks. This area is exclusively for other Exterminators.
What is our purpose, you ask? Exterminators are responsible for slaughtering Hell’s denizens once every year to prevent overpopulation. The rules are simple: kill swiftly, show no mercy to anyone, and stay close to your fellow angels during the 24 hour time shift. Samael is our leader, and as you can imagine, he is quite ruthless and stern.
In terms of status, I am just a lowly soldier in the Exterminator rank. I can be recognized by my blue tipped right horn, x over my right eye, my blue eyes and mouth. Like the other Exterminators, I have black feathery wings, horns, talons, and I carry a unique weapon. To add to my lower rank, the other angels tend to look down on us due to our bloodthirsty nature. We have a drive to fight and move around, while the other angels are content to sit around studying, praying, singing, or dancing peacefully. It is not what you would call racism; but more like the reaction one gets when your coworkers find out you work at a cemetery or morgue.
Yes, the work is dangerous, depressing and not for the faint of heart. But it must be performed efficiently by some people. Not only must we kill demons during the annual purge, but we also must be careful not to get killed by powerful overlords residing down there. Laying down our lives is a part of war, whether it’s serving God or protecting your home country and citizens.
I was born into a family of seasoned Exterminators, so I had no choice in the grand scheme of things. Deciding to pursue any other occupation would dishonor my family and my community. The punishment would be immediate banishment to Hell…basically a death sentence. So, I mustered up my courage and followed in my family’s footsteps (or wing-flaps).
During one of the annual Exterminations, an unfortunate event occurred. After being knocked unconscious by an attacking demon, my brethren assumed I was dead. They left me behind, flying into the portal and out of sight. By the time I came to my senses, the purge was over and the portal had closed. Flying back to Heaven would be impossible…the distance was far too vast to cover. I stayed hidden in the shadows and forged for food. Then, this demon showed up and decided to take me in. His name was Blue Raven 666, a tall humanoid with blonde hair, blue eyes, white horns and a blue shirt with 666 on it. He has an ability to look into events and come up with theories to try and explain why things are the way they are. He seems to have some knowledge about Niffty, Alastor, Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, and several other characters. Angel has complex relationships with his father Henroin, Aranea his white spider mother, and his siblings Aracknis and Molly. Strangely enough, Molly isn’t a demon, yet she can enter Hell freely. But his ideas are just unconfirmed theories, albeit plausible ones. For instance, Vaggie may have been a fallen angel due to her use of a harpoon spear, an x over her eye and her willingness to kill/threaten powerful, suspicious demons.
Ah, here I go again, babbling on and on. You’re probably not interested in such abstract perspectives, but it’s one of the topics to keep me entertained before I go back to Heaven.
Why Blue Raven took me in, I’ll never know. Perhaps he took pity on me after seeing me in a weakened state on the brink of starvation. Maybe he was trying to keep an open mind, like me. Surely not all angels were good and not all demons were bad. It was a temporary truce between an angel and a demon, one that was fragile and unknown to anyone else. While we got acquainted, Blue Raven told me about the demon princess Charlie. She had set up a hotel for the purpose of redeeming sinners and sending them to Heaven. Given how many evil sinners and demons were down here, I figured that it was nearly impossible to achieve such a goal.
Then again, stranger things have happened. Even our fallen brother, Lucifer isn’t all bad. Sure he may be prideful, but he does care for his wife and daughter very much. He was banished from Heaven due to God creating mankind and favoring them over the angels. The rules in Heaven are strict, so it’s no surprise that someone like him would rebel. I’m just counting myself lucky that I’m still alive. If it hadn’t been for my new demon acquaintance, I would’ve surely perished out there. (And no, I’m not a fallen angel; I still hold my status as an Exterminator.) Hopefully, once I return to Heaven, things will return to normal and I can resume my duties.
I’ll be here to answer any questions you may have, and Blue Raven 666 will be happy to help. Be sure to go check out his channel and videos. If you’re a Hazbin Hotel fan who likes to dive deep into theories and possibilities, then his channel is for you. Please take care of yourselves and those around you. I heard there’s a deadly virus known as coronavirus-19 going around on Earth and I want to make sure you mortals stay safe. Heaven’s getting more crowded each day, but it can be assured that everyone’s doing fine up here. Thank you for your time, and as we say in Heaven: “Have a blessed day and God be with you.”
Oh, you’re still here? Would you like to hear more about me? I’d love to talk more about Heaven and who I am. Very well, then. Let us begin…

Blue Raven 666: Encanto and Paganism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLCPS5cx-_I
Tumblr media
(Blue Raven 666 means no harm nor offense against Colombian cultures, his transcript is for entertainment purposes only)
 Blue Raven got to watch Encanto on Disney + in early January 2022 as did I. It is a wonderful movie. We liked the story, the characters, loved the music, and liked how Disney is making movies that focus on real life issues and seeing how their characters overcome them, rather than just defaulting to their usual theme of reimagined fairy tales and andromorphic animals and live-action versions of their classic movies. Encanto has themes that focus on family, high expectations, intergenerational trauma, and different perspectives, things that children all across the world could be dealing with right now or might find themselves struggling with in the future.
 There are many different types of witches out there from those who practice witchcraft on their own, to those who are part of a coven to those who pass their skills and knowledge down to the next generation. There are a lot of different types of witches and a lot of characters in Encanto share some very specific talents that apply to some of the types that are out there. (But the characters are not witches themselves).
 I. “The Non-Witches”
 “First up, we have Mirabel, Augustine, and Felix. Now you’re probably wondering, what do they have to do with magic or witches, given that they have no gifts? These three characters would be referred to as “normies,” the “Non-Witches.” As a witch, Blue Raven has noticed that other witches tend to look at those who aren’t witches with just a smidge of annoyance. They feel like non-witches can’t be trusted with the knowledge of their craft, like they’ll judge or persecute them or that they aren’t really all that much help and will just be in the way. However, Mirabel, Augustine and Felix represent the best that non-witches can offer to those who are witches. I think we can all agree here that Felix is the best husband aside from Pedro. He loves and supports his wife Peppa and he doesn’t seem to dwell on the fact that she has a gift and while he doesn’t. For some witches and pagans, that kind of love and support is hard to come by and is an absolute blessing to receive. Augustine: accident-prone, but he means well. He even makes a statement to Mirabel that being surrounded by the exceptional as someone from outside of the family with no gift, it was very easy to feel unexceptional, but he helps where he can with what he has. A lot of non-witches are like that.
 Blue Raven has read many comments from people telling him “I wish I could do all the cool stuff you can do.” And he found the same thinking about witches more skilled and experienced then he is. But non-witches are able to be helpful to witches if they at least know what’s going on. Even if they make a mistake, they’re not useless and don’t deserve to be made to feel like they are. Sometimes just having that extra set of hands to fetch supplies or like with Felix, offer that support, can make so much of a difference. Mirabel plays one of the most important roles a non-witch can provide to anyone who practices any form of witchcraft, and that is grounding. Offering a perspective of someone not worried about spells working or if they’re being hexed or if something was a sign or not. Put another way, they bring us down from the magical high and brings us back to the real world. Can it be annoying at times? Sure. But witches need to be able to put the mundane before the magical and sometimes that’s something that’s difficult to do. So having someone there that can actually see what you can’t, can be magical all on its own. So, the non-witches definitely deserve a place here.
  II. “The Ceremonial Witches and Coven-Based Witches”
  “Abuela Alma was difficult for Blue Raven to pinpoint. She doesn’t really have a gift, but is the keeper of the miracle that was given to her at the time of Pedro’s death. The closest comparison Blue Raven was able to come up with was a combination of “Ceremonial Witches” and “Coven-based Witches.” Ceremonial witches have specific rituals that they use to call upon the spirit world. This is also referred to as ceremonial magic or high magic. When Abuela’s children and grandchildren came of age, they underwent a specific ceremony led by Abuela in order for them to receive their gifts. In the context of coven-based witches, this would technically put Abuela Alma in the role of the high priestess who leads a larger group of witches whose combined abilities produce bigger, stronger spells that hold the potential for a better outcome for the group as well as others. Better than what they’d be if they were on their own. Abuela utilizes the gifts of the Madrigal family to serve her community and while doing this, puts high expectations and a lot of pressure on the rest of the family. In the movie, the family’s strong bond and them working together to rebuild Castia at the end of the movie shows how strong the Madrigals are when they aren’t just relying on one person to do all the work, do all the healing, or maintain their image. So while it may be a bit of a stretch to officially put Abuela Alma into either category alone, the combination of both ceremonial and covenant based parallels were the closest he came up with for her as a character.
 III. “The Kitchen Witches”
 Mirabel’s mother, Julieta was actually very easy for Blue Raven to pinpoint. She’s able to heal physical injuries with her cooking, ranging from something minor like a cut, to bruises, to multiple bee stings, to a severely broken arm. Julieta fits in well with the role of a “Kitchen Witch.” Kitchen witches use specific herbs and edible ingredients to make edible spells and homemade remedies for a wide variety of different ailments and purposes. This could be anything from something for like good luck and happiness, to curing minor afflictions like using honey to soothe a sore throat or ginger to help with colds, flus, or settle an upset stomach. And no, kitchen witches cannot cure severe illnesses or injuries! Please see a doctor for those!
 IV. “The Hereditary Witches”
 Like Abuela, Peppa is also a difficult character for Blue Raven to define. There’s not exactly a type of witch out there that brings about sudden changes in the weather according to the moon or emotions. That’s normally associated with spirits and deities. The best he could do is put Tia in in the category of a “Hereditary Witch.” Technically anyone with a gift could fall into this category, (Mainly mothers and girls, but males can be witches as well), hereditary witches have knowledge and skills that were passed down to them from previous generations and can pass down those skills and knowledge to the next generation. But as far as the weather is concerned, he’s got nothing.
 V. “The Clairaudient Witches”
 Dolores was another type of character that Blue Raven was able to establish a connection with, pretty immediately, and with Dolores, it’s not so much the type of witch that came to him, so much as it was her gift aligning with an ability that many types of witches have, and that would be the ability of “Clairaudience.” Dolores hears everything. She can hear a pin drop, and she can hear people talking and singing a mile away. She covers her ears to cope with the noise of cheering and cracks appearing in the casita’s walls. She can hear the rats that are in the casita’s walls. And she was able to hear Augustine whispering to Mirabel from the other side of the house. And to a certain extent, these are the types of struggles that people with clairaudience struggle with. Speaking from his own personal experience as a clairaudient person, picking up the enraged venting of a deity, the barely intelligible whispers of a disturbed spirit, or the things that go bump in the night, aren’t really things most people are able to pick up, unless they have clairaudience (or many years of practice!)
And even then, as other Encanto fans have pointed out with Dolores, we don’t always pick up on everything that could possibly be heard because we tune it out, or our abilities wane or some other reason. Encanto producers have stated that Dolores’s hearing isn’t as selective as it might seem, nor is it as selective as she would like. And it can be the same way with clairaudience. So even though he couldn’t align her with a specific type of witch, there are still some witchy abilities that give her a place on this list.
 VI. “The Eclectic Witches”
 Camilio uses his shape-shifting abilities to help others, as well as for fun. He’s only a teenager, so he’s going to be playful and mischievous, but he never does it with the intention of hurting anyone. He shifts into the form of a new mother in Encanto to care for that mother’s new baby while she gets some rest. He turns himself into a smaller version of Felix to try to boost Antonio’s confidence before his gift-giving ceremony. He turns himself into Mariano to tease Isabella. Even in “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” he only shapeshifts into Bruno to freak out Mirabel. Nothing malicious, just taking certain aspects from the people around him and applying them to his own practice. And this roughly describes the “Eclectic Witches.” Taking certain practices, spells, rituals, protections etc. and applying them to their own unique form of witchcraft. They do have to be mindful when doing this to make sure they are not appropriating the cultures they borrowed from. If you want to apply the threefold law while you’re contemplating spells while using runestones while believing the earth and everything in it is just as live as you are, that’s great. But leave white sage out of your practiced unless you are Native American. Use more abundant plant for cleansing like pine or lavender.
 VII. “The Animistic Witches – The Baby Witches”
 Antonio can fall into two categories of witches, the “Animistic Witches” and the “Baby Witches. “Baby Witch” is just a term for someone who is new to the craft and trying to gain their footing. Antonio is the newest member of the Madrigal family to receive their gift. But he takes to his new gift like a fish into water. We really don’t see him struggle to get a hold of his abilities, and goes from being unsure and anxious to riding on the back of a jaguar in a matter of minutes. So Blue Raven feels less inclined to label him as a Baby Witch just because he was the most recent character to get a gift. Animism is the belief that all things from people to animals to plants to rocks, trees, bacteria, mountains, stars and beyond all have a life, a spirit, and play just as much of an important role in the life of the world that surrounds us as the people we interact with day to day. Think “Colors of the Wind” from Disney’s Pocahontas. While Antonio’s gift would focus more on the animal aspect of this belief in practice, Blue Raven could see him showing the rest of the world that surrounds him with a greater amount of respect in service to these animals.  
  VIII. “The Guardian Witches – The Protector Witches”
 Next up is Luisa and like with Peppa, her gift doesn’t really line up with a specific type of witch. No one type of witch is specifically defined as being the strongest physically or magically. However, there is a specific role that an experienced witch can fall into that can lead to the individual feeling stressed and under pressure like Luisa. These witches are the “Protector/Guardian Witches” who use their abilities to protect their loved ones from harm with a number of wards and spells. All throughout the song “Surface Pressure,” we see many examples of Luisa’s immense physical strength and how hard she pushes herself and is willing to push herself in order to protect her family, including her little sister Mirabel. While it is partially Abuela’s fault that Luisa is under so much pressure to begin with, the fact that Luisa bottles up her stress, frustrations, and her own personal needs until she finally blows up, is also something that can apply to a protector guardian type of witch. These individuals are typically the ones people turn to if they can’t find a solution on their own. They’re looked at as these incredibly strong witches who know just the right spell or protection to get the job done. If that witch’s magic fails or backfires, not only is it jarring for the person requesting the witch’s abilities, but it can also be jarring for the guardian witches themselves. Especially if what they’re being asked to do comes across as no big deal, something simple, something they do for others all the time. Just like with Luisa if they feel like their abilities can’t stand up to what comes across as a simple request, they may begin to feel powerless, and start questioning their worth if they can’t help protect the people they care about. It’s always the strong ones you gotta check up on. They could be struggling way more than you realize.
  IX. “The Green Witches – Elemental Witches - The Solitary Witches”
 Figuring Isabella out was tough for Blue Raven. At first, he wanted to place her in the category of “Green Witch” or “Hedge Witch” (A witch who works with herbs and plants for spell work, healing and remedies), but for him, that didn’t feel quite right. He was going to throw her into the hereditary witch box with Tia Peppa, but he thought there had to be a type of witch to describe her and her gift. He found a place for her under the category of “Solitary Witch.”
Solitary witches have been the subject of a lot of scrutiny and controversy within the witchy community in the past. As the name implies, solitary witches tend to work alone and keep their own personal practice to themselves. There are plenty of witches out there that think a witch is not a witch until they’ve been initiated into a coven. If you’re not a part of something bigger, then you’re not valid. This is another one of those types that could technically apply to any of the modern individuals, especially Luisa, but Isabella fits here too. As we saw in Encanto, Isabella is always under pressure to always be the picture of perfection for Abuela. She was almost engaged to a man she didn’t want to marry, and grows increasingly irritated with Mirabel for getting in the way and was most likely frustrated that Mirabel wasn’t put under the same amount of pressure as the rest of the family. However, it was when she blew up on Mirabel that her emotions allowed her to create something other than one of the beautiful perfect flowers she’d produced all her life. And this inspires her to actually explore the full extent of her gift. As a solitary witch himself, Blue Raven can say that’s exactly what it’s like. It’s fine to be a part of a coven just like it’s okay to be part of a close-knit extended family. But if in doing so, you feel heavily restricted, like you’re not reaching your full potential while at the same time, being under tremendous pressure to live up to someone else’s expectations, sometimes it’s better to break free from the box you’re being forcibly shoved into and branch off on your own. He’s not saying that covens are unhealthy and from what he’s aware, most are capable of maintaining healthy relationships and clear communication, but just like some people work better on their own rather than in a group, a witch doesn’t need to be part of a coven to live p to their full potential. Sometimes all they need is a little nudge from somebody else.  
 X. “The Clairvoyant Witches – The Fortune Tellers – The Diviners”
 Now, Let’s Talk About Bruno!
 Honestly, Blue Raven felt like the entire theme could have just been him and him alone, but he knows there are also other characters in Encanto that other people like that also apply to this topic. Obviously, it goes without saying that Bruno is the “Clairvoyant-Fortune Teller.” There are multiple specific types that Bruno could fall under, Ceremonial Witch, Solidary Witch, Green Witch, there’s a lot we could dive into here. But Blue Raven focuses on the fortune-telling aspect of his character, as that’s his main gift. Throughout a major portion of Encanto, Bruno is made out to be the bad guy, the black sheep of the family. Even in the song: “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” If he has a vision about someone, it’s going to be something terrible. From Camilo’s perspective, it’s almost made he’s made out to be sort of a boogeyman that actively seeks to terrify other people. Of course, now we know that Bruno never meant anyone any harm, especially his own family and if he struggled with getting himself to see the full extent of a vision because he saw something he knew people wouldn’t like, then it’s also likely that he could offer people the vision that was for a more viable solution. But you know what they say, “Don’t shoot the messenger.”
 Now as someone who reads Tarot and tells people’s fortunes Blue Raven has often gotten the comment that his fortunes felt very vague, and more like advice then him actually telling a fortune. There is a very good reason why. As it was described to him by a more experienced Tarot reader, if you follow through with telling a person’s fortune, exactly as you see it, you’re basically carving it into stone. Now that might not sound so bad if the reading is good and has a positive outcome for the client. But if the reading involves something like literal death, that’s not something you just want to be handing all willy-nilly. For the record, yes, there is a combination of cards you can get in a Tarot reading the signifies literal physical death (Death card, The Tower, 10 Swords, more “negative cards + a specific alignment with certain situations in client’s life) It could be for the person getting the reading, it could be for a relative related to the person that’s getting the reading. Either way, telling that person word for word what the cards are telling you, in that scenario would be like handing a death sentence. Instead you give them advice on how to avoid the outcome, or better prepare for it if the death is not the client themselves.
 And this is why Blue Raven believes Bruno gained such a bad reputation. He handed his visions off to whoever they were for, which essentially set those fortunes in stone. If he pushed himself to see more like he did with Mirabel, then he might have been able to see ways those outcomes could have been avoided. Instead of saying “your fish is going to die,” maybe he could have said, “stop dancing around with a goddamn fishbowl. You’re making him dizzy.” (The lady danced with the fishbowl in “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” song.)  Instead of saying “you’ll grow a gut,” he could have said, “Stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine as you get older so it won’t catch up with you.” Instead of saying “all your hair will disappear” he could have asked if male pattern baldness ran in this man’s family and look into remedies at least slow the process. These fortunes allow room for the people getting them to either follow through with the advice and change their fate, or to keep going down the road they’re on, resulting in exactly what was seen. It can be a hard thing to do sometimes, but whenever a witch is doing any form of divination, they should always leave the space that’s needed for a person’s fate to change. Otherwise a witch could end up with the same reputation as Bruno.
