#hazbin rewrite

[catboymoments]

Worked out my idea of the descending rings of Hell in my hashbrown motel rewrite/Hotel Purgatorium!! There’s a transcript under the cut!

I reworked the idea of “sinners only ending up in pride” to be that sinners can end up in other rings, but they get worse and worse as they go down as their crimes in life/punishments get worse. They’re confined to the ring they’re sentenced to and can’t leave, but if a sinner from a higher ring attempts to go down and come back up, they become instantly corrupted and lose their soul as they become a mindless monster. Like how oceanic pressure gives you the bends??? (Also, Most sinners wind up in pride because as it turns out, pride is the root of most of humanity’s sin.)

Transcript! ↓ I based the ideas loosely off of hverse and mostly off of Dante’s inferno

Pride- 1st Layer

- ruled by Lucifer

- A noisy smoggy cityscape, overcrowded and full of the worst parts of humanity + civilization over the last few centuries. Most souls end up here!

Lust- 2nd Layer

- ruled by Asmodeus

- A “winter wonderland,” but more befitting of “bleak ice kingdom.” Cold, bitter, and only warm within buildings made by Hellborns. Very Blustery. Pun not intended.

Gluttony- 3rd Layer

- ruled by Beelzebub

- An oppressively humid, sticky rainforest infested with insects and torrential hot rain.

Greed- 4th Layer

- ruled by Mammon

- Rocky, Craggy, Rough. A barren mountainous “mining town” where nothing grows and shiny minerals aplenty drive sinners mad.

Envy- 5th Layer

- ruled by Leviathan

- The snow runoff from Lust is melted down into a deep dark pressured ocean with bioluminescent and unusual hellborns.

Sloth- 6th Layer

- ruled by Belphegor

- Made of obsidian, fungus and quicksand. Everything moves slowly, fog lines the streets. Sinners float along the tar rivers.

Wrath- 7th layer

- ruled by Satan

- The typical idea of hell- full of fire and lava and hate. This is the worst place you can end up.

Expanding more on the missed opportunity of characters’ time periods, it would’ve been cool is Angel Dust was really stingy with money and spending. He would’ve been just about a teenager during the Depression, a young adult during WW2, and died right before the economic boom in the 50s. I want to see how these characters’ LIVING lives affected them as people, not just how their afterlives affected them.

Adam Redesign!!

didn’t think he would be the first redesign i posted, but i haven’t made the others animation friendly yet!! ik his real face isn’t, but ill edit that later

anywho. the first man was not white. in my rewrite(Happy Hostel) he acts more covert in his assholery because subtlety is A Concept. he plays the part of a loving husband and father whilst exterminating sinners yearly. he pretends to help Charlie with her ideas but is practically bullshitting his way through. he’s bitter that his first sons were hurt by Lucifer, and wants to make all of Hell pay for it. despite Cain literally living there

father of the year, everyone/sarc

[helluva-world-innit]

With all the creatives in the fandom/hatedom, I feel like I would be remiss if I didn't teach you a lil somethin:

Zines.

Zines are self-published magazines that you can make about anything.

Let me say that again:

You can make zines about ANYTHING.

Art

Music

Food

Your cat

REVOLUTION

Girls kissing

ANYTHING

If you don't believe me, just look at what's out there so far:

upthewitchypunx alex has so many resources about zines:

Now go

An animated porcelain doll and her fallen winner bodyguard 100k words top tags are toxic yuri gentle yuri eternal devotion jock × prep

My rewritten Vaggie is a fallen winner who fell after it was found out she died by suicide (a Christian sin). She hears of Charlie's ideas of redemption and immediately believes in it wholeheartedly and stays by her side in the hopes of earning a place in heaven after living both of her existences in metaphorical and literal hell. Her sin would be Sloth or wrath methinks. They'd still fall in love btw just with actual development to the relationship instead of whatever the show got going on

hazbin hotel redesigns wooooooooo

okay so. i'm gonna discuss my thoughts about them n shit, putting under a readmore bc it's gonna get long and rambley. sorry in advance for the shit formatting, i'm on mobile </3

just some general shit about how i would rewrite it. i think the premise of redeeming sinners is entertaining but is executed horribly. i also am a fan of the "heaven isn't great either" idea but again, executed horribly. i'd make the hierarchy of angels more accurate because it's cool as hell and i have autism about it. the characters from hell would swear still (albeit not as much), but the angels would outright refuse to swear or make vulgar jokes ever. this would be partially to further the gap between heaven and hell and make the differences more stark.

hell would also be more like dante's inferno (again because i think its cool). the ars goetia would get a full redesign and would be more prevalent in demonic society.

now for the characters!

---

VAGGIE VALTIEL:

starting off with vaggie, or Valtiel as i've renamed her because let's be honest her original name sucks. Valtiel (Val for short) was an aspiring power angel who wanted to be an exorcist. she looked up to lute and thought the idea of killing demons was really cool and badass. however when she actually was on the field for the first time she discovered how awful this actually was. she tried to help a few demons but lute figured it out and felled her right then and there. the rest of her story is relatively the same. personality wise she's more stoic and less prone to all-out aggression. she still get angry, sure, but it's in a quieter and more menacing way. you DO NOT want to fuck with Valtiel.

CHARLIE:

next up is charlie! i had two ideas for her. the first one (unsettling drawing) has her as a mannequin/doll type demon. lucifer and/or lilith was unable to conceive and as such they built a kid from scratch. she's overall similar to og charlie personality wise, very kind and cheerful despite her unsettling appearance. she struggles with empathy sometimes but really does mean well. her motive for rehabilitating sinners is so they get to see their family again. being able to see heaven from where they are in hell must make them sad, so she wants to help make them happy again!

the second idea for charlie has her as an angel. specifically i casted her as a dominion angel due to their reputation as holy judges. she was once a demon but has been rehabilitated and has risen into angelhood! she now wants to help her former kin do the same and redeem themselves in heaven's gaze. again, similar cheery personality, but a bit more prudish in this rendition

tangent time!

as a side tangent, valtiel and charlie would have a different relationship in this rewrite. their relationship felt shoehorned in in the original show, like it was just there for the hell of it. we didn't see much development between them and it just felt kinda bland. so in my rewrite, charlie and valtiel are amiable exes. they tried dating when valtiel first fell (when charlie was still a demon in the charlie-angel version) but realized their feelings for each other were much more platonic than romantic. they ended things off on good terms, deciding they were much better as friends. they are still besties to this day! later charlie ends up with emily (or 'ellie' as i plan to rename her)

back to the characters

Alastor:

note: i made alastor mixed-race, which could be seen as bad by some due to vivzie saying he's black. however, as many have pointed out, he has no ethnic features whatsoever and i honestly wouldn't be surprised if she said that just to get away with using voodoo symbols (a closed religion) in his imagery/design. like viv, i am incredibly white and have little to no knowledge of voodoo, and even if i did i would not use it for something like this anyways due to the stigma the religion already has and (again) it being a closed practice. as such i removed it from his concept altogether, but made him mixed race (white passing) because.. why not i guess, i forgor my actual reasoning

with that being said...

alastor is by far my favorite of the redesigns and i'm honestly tempted to turn him into a legally distinct oc. i imagine he's somewhat reserved, along the lines of norman bates albeit a bit more extroverted. during his life he was a serial killer with a day job as a radio announcer. he took pleasure in reporting about his own murders on the radio, but that is eventually what got him caught (ie accidentally letting slip info that wasn't released to the public). as a result he was sentenced to death. upon arriving in hell, he quickly rose through the ranks to borderline overlord status and is a feared presence by demons and sinners alike. why is he bothering to assist in the hotel project? who knows... his motives are a mystery, like the rest of what he does

(he isn't actually alastair crowley i just thought the naming convention was ironic. however he may have also dabbled with satanic magic in lifetime..)

Angel Dust:

TW: brief discussion of SA

this is definitely my second favorite redesign. i loooove insect themes and wanted to do more than just Extra Arms, so he now has fucked up legs and a lot of eyes too! story-wise, angel used to be a criminal mastermind, hated by both the mafia and the feds. he was a gentleman thief, arranging massive heists under the cover of night while also partaking in the occasional drag show. he ended up a cocaine addict later in life, which caused his work to become sloppier. eventually he was killed in a heist gone wrong, specifically shot by the police.

i'm not gonna go too in-depth on the SA part of his story, but he is hypersexual due to being assaulted in both his life and afterlife. it would be something he'd be working on in the rewrite. his reason for coming to the hotel in the first place may have even been for help with this trauma. underneath his sultry exterior is a broken guy who really just needs someone to care about him for who he really is and not for what his body can do.

LUTE:

so lute and adam are some of the characters i have the most gripes about. the biggest one being why viv chose adam as the leader of the exorcists in the first place. if she wants a biblical figure tied to demon killing, Archangel Michael is RIGHT THERE, aka the one destined to kill satan during the events of Revelations. if she wants the first human to die, that would be Abel, not Adam. and i kinda doubt abel would want to do the stuff that HH!adam has been doing. if she wants an angel related to torture, Dumah is her guy! an angel that rules over wicked souls and tortures sinners every day except sabbath. so many better options...

with that out of the way, Lute is still the lieutenant of the exorcist, who are a specially chosen group of powers sent to purge hell once a year. think navy seals. she's pretty much the same as in the show, albeit more muscular and visually different from other exorcists (seriously why do they all look exactly the same?????) she's a very repressed lesbian who hasn't had time to work on that due to her duties

i also redesigned the exorcist uniform/armor because those LED purge masks are fugly as hell and their clothes don't even look remotely like armor.

Adam + Final Thoughts

i did start a redesign of adam but got bored of it. regardless, i think he'd be the head of C.H.E.R.U.B. instead of the exorcists. he doesn't want his children to make the same mistakes he and eve did, so together they started C.H.E.R.U.B. to help lost souls stay out of hell

final thoughts uhhhh i'm tired. show sucks, it had so much potential but viv ruined it by being a shitty writer and an even shittier person. the designs are fine i guess but they all look exactly the same and are in desperate need of variety. the humor is dogshit, saying dick and balls and penis over and over and over again doesn't make it any funnier than the first three times you made that joke. anyways that's it, i hope you liked my inane ramblings. gonna go vanish for another forty years or so, adios

Hazbin redesign dump

[hazshit-hotel-hater]

Was looking at the helluva boss pride art again and im just genuinely so upset about verosika, I know vivzie really likes using bi and pan people as a get out of jail free card so she can just ship them with whoever she feels like, but im mostly disappointed because I was ORIGINALLY impressed because I thought she was holding one of the intersex flags (the pink and blue one I think, I dunno much about the flag but yknow) and then I realised its just the pan flag as highlights in her hair and viv is just like borderline fetishising bi/pan stuff again.

It would’ve been really interesting to have an intersex character in literally any capacity. Idk TMI I guess but as a sex worker who doesn’t really have “regular equipment” it got me excited and then I remembered that vivzie would never include an intersex character or anything more “convoluted” than like the most basic well known sexualities and then like 1 trans side character. Genuinely I don’t think we are ever going to get a main character that has a gender that doesn’t get put into a binary definition. I talk about him so often but literally I think Angel is the closest thing we are ever getting to a main character that has a different sense of gender. If we get a random nonbinary character, awesome! But even then I can’t find the hope in my heart to say it’ll even be portrayed correctly. Viv would have a fucking heart attack if she saw all my labels and genders and flags I have

Im not kidding if a hazbin or helluva character ever had a xenogender of any kind I will actually eat my fucking pants. Till then heres all my fucking redesigns and their flags (btw like half of these characters have NO idea what a xenogender is, its just like if they did theyd be like “oh yeah I feel like that too”)

I hope this shit ruins vivzies day straight up. I got my little queer hands all over your show whatre you gonna do about it. Btw I’m right about all of this but especially Sir Pentious and Velvette, go check out cassgender, cool shit! Also Vaggie is aroflux sorry I do not make the rules (yes I do)

[sockboioioing]

Hi so yeah

Ignore any typos i have fake nails on and its impossible to type

Also if anyone can help me with naming the mammon courtesy that would be so swag

[the-burd-lord]

Finally confident enough to post my sketchy redesigns for Perfect Purgatory. I may change some colors for Sir P and Husk, but for now I’m satisfied with how they've all turned out. I'd also like to thank @midnighthybrid1 for helping me out with Lucifer's colors!

Tried to keep them simple, yet recognizable as both animation and comic friendly designs.

One key theme I wanted to do with colors is designate what realm they most align with thematically- red (warm colors) for hell, blue (cool colors) for heaven, and yellow (muted) for purgatory.

There's also blends of colors for certain characters such as Vox incorporating red into his outfit and choosing to wear blue, or Lucifer having yellows in his palette despite being the ruler of hell. I'll let y'all pick out some patterns urself ;)

Idk even know if it's a rewrite or my interpretation or what to call it anymore but- Perfect Purgatory is a more horror oriented interpretation of Hazbin. Focusing on themes of redemption, the existentialism of immortality, faith, and dehumanization through the various residents of Hotel Līmen.

Lineup below:

This took me so long and I still have three characters to add along with making alternate looks for some of them, last 3 are Valentino, Velvette, and Sera. But I think it's good for now.

I also now have a clear idea of a story! It's not just floating concepts anymore. Still dunno how I want to present it though.

[hazbinhotelreimaginedproject]

Hazbin Hotel reimagine/redesign! (For fun!)

Part 6. Lucifer & Sera

❤️‍🔥👑 Lucifer 👑❤️‍🔥

Reimagined!Lucifer desc:

The former highest standing angel in heaven, created to grace others with his beauty, yet unable to create anything of his own. He could not bond with other angels due to his status, but saw himself in the first man and woman, both living in a bright, isolated, monotonous paradise. ↓↓↓

This is why he gave them sentience, so he can have someone who shared his plight. He was cast out of heaven for this selfish act, and cursed to remain selfish, never seeing the faults within himself, making him lose the things most important to him.

That pride made his wife leave him and soiled his relationship with his beloved Charlie. Lately, however, he began to notice just how unhappy she was and offered to fix whatever problem she was having. Unfortunately, no matter how many times she tries to explain the issue was him, he's unable to comprehend it. Doesn't mean he's not trying, though.

⚜️🪽 Serael 🪽⚜️

Reimagined!Serael desc:

Despite what her name suggests, she is a newly appointed archangel, determined to take on her duties swiftly and flawlessly. She had come out malformed during her holy creation and overcompensates for it with her work, a fact no one would ever guess due to how well she hides it.

Here's where the AU's lore comes in: God is dead. Has been for a while. Due do this all the higher angels have either gone feral or developed dementia, leaving the archangels to rule over heaven. No one below them knows of course, but when Pentious gets sent to heaven, cracks in the status quo begin to show.

Emiliel is her bright and cheerful apprentice who works towards becoming an archangel as well. She loves her but is afraid of ever putting such responsibility on someone else, so she is exceptionally harsh to her. Too bad that little angel girl is resilience itself!

Haven't made Lilith or Eve yet because I want to wait for more info in s2, but I really like those two rewrites in particular, will probably just repurpose them into OCs in the future!

[catboymoments]

Some really quick hotel purgatorium (hazbin rework) sketch wips I did before work… 1) I’m unfortunately very attracted to my Alastor and his “Cab Calloway but unhinged” vibes and 2) I think it’d be more fitting narratively if Charlie knew Aggie was an angel from the beginning :0

[floralcavern]

The most difficult thing about writing Angel Dust's backstory is figuring out the timeline of things. Because I'm having it to where he was alive during the Pansy Craze in the mid 1930s (where he would be 21), and alive when Italy joined WW2 (where he would be 29) in the 1940s, and dies around the time the war ends in 1945 (where he would be 34). But, as difficult as it is, it's REALLY fun to create a timeline of events and seeing how he lived through them. I seriously don't know how Viv missed the opportunity to tell interesting stories from each of these characters' respective time periods. Like, Angel was a gay, crossdressing gangster during WW2! HOW DID SHE NOT EXPAND ON THAT??

[anonymouscheeses]

I saw the new redesigns and, firs toffee I love them, second off

Imagine vaggie starts gaining a bit of chub and gets insecure at first cause, traumaaaa, and Charlie reassures her she's perfect the way she is and that there is more of her to cuddle now is all and stuff

YES. FINALLY. im sorry it took forever to get to your request. im jst getting the motivation to get around to all them! But yes this is my favorite request so far omfg thank you it was so fun to draw this genuinely 💜💜

HAZBIN HOTEL REWRITE: Charlotte Morningstar

Charlie is incredibly intelligent and has a upstanding reputation with the upperclass. She gets along with everyone because of her charming personality.

She’s an advocate for Imps & hellhounds rights. Supports protesters and groups by funding them. She’s wealthy.

She uses her resources. She has the sins, her uncles and aunts, promote her hotel. Also support it as well.

Instead of using the rundown building as a hotel, she just buys an actual hotel building and buys an actual staff. She gives them a great salary.

She tries to study the magic she has but she’s too busy with her hotel that she doesn’t find the time for it

She wears corset’s underneath her suit. No, I’m not giving a explanation.

She doesn’t go to Heaven about her idea of redemption. Not yet at least.

And that’s it for my rewrite of Charlotte Morningstar! I wanted her to be, y’know, an actual princess in hell who is aware of how her society works and the issues that goes on in Hell.

[lackablazeical]

Viv when she cant sexualize men and villainize women: 👹👺👺👺👹👹

Okay so this redesign was spurred by my friend who really doesn't like Adam, so I decided to do my spin on him!

First: in the Bible, it is CANON he is made from red soil/clay. Which is dark. He is not white. He is poc. Okay? Cool

Okay so other then that, mostly I just wanted to make him seem much more ethereal. I based his design on clothes the pope wears, like the fuckn. Sash things and stuff. His wings take the place of a sash and while he can use them, rarely does (a reference to his connection to the earth)

I used mostly primary colors for him, kinda nodding to the fact he's like the 'origin' person. Mostly gold tho bc why not (also contrasts the blue of heaven, and its in reference to his greedy need to put his family before god)

But also his robe has red edges like they're stained w/ blood too, and his stomach sash has a similar stain. He has very little blue to show that his true loyalties don't lie with heaven, but with his wife.

And okay, I hate how ppl will use the 'they're in hell! Ofc they curse!" Excuse but also like. Hate that some characters are sexist or whatevs. Like bro. It'd make sense characters are gonna be sexist/ableist/etc etc. Why beef w/ Adam over it. So I kept Adam being sexist, but it's moreso bc he loves his wife so much he refuses to treat any other women well, bc he's so loyal. Type to drop a door on a lady bc it's not his gf yk.

I hc that Eve is buried in pride, and has a tree growing from her body (she's not dead but more in like kinda a limbo), and that's where Heaven stays in Hell. And so Adam goes down there during exterminations to see her tree and talk to her before he has to leave again.

Adam was originally a good person, but bc of his eating of the apple (which stained his teeth), he now can't NOT indulge sin, and most often, he indulges in greed (like only doing things if he thinks he could get eve back), and wrath (the more violent side of the masculine he represents).

Also bc of this, one of his punishments from God is being blinded, unable to see God's holy light or the face of his wife ever again. He also had his wedding band finger cut off as punishment too. The rest of his fingers have golden caps, bc he is dangerous to touch bc yk. How sinful he is from eating the fruit

And the fig leaves are just cus yk. He's associated w/ em. The leaves on his head actually form a shape of ram horns since rams represent devotion to God and Adam fell bc he wasn't devoted enough

Also I will keep that Eve was made from Adam BUT comma, she took not just his rib but his liver, 10 of his fingers (he originally had 20), and his skin. Just cus yeah why not

So yeah. Love this design loads actually LMAO
