I've been watching Hazbin Hotel in prime. Just watched episode 5 and I gotta ask
Why, oh, WHY DON'T I SEE MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT "MORE THAN ANYTHING" WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE HAZBIN HOTEL MUSIC???
Like I get it, the song before it "Hell's Greatest Dad" Is a bop reminiscent of other music from the era its parodying. I loved it.
BUT why are you only putting clips of that song when this MASTERPIECE comes a few minutes after
I honestly don't even know where to begin with this song. The visuals are beautiful, especially when we get moments like this where you can just see the absolute LOVE this man has for her daughter is so sweet and Heartwarming I just-
The voices are fenomenal but what else can you expect from the broadway talents of Erika Henningsen and Jeremy Jordan.
There is also the whole Symbolism with passing the baton to the next generation and stuff. I- I can't even get into the specifics right now Im too emotional.
But above all else THE LYRICS
ESPECIALLY THAT LAST ONE
"I'M GRATEFUL YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER/FATHER MORE THAN ANYTHING"
DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY?? CAUSE I AM. I AM BAWLING MY EYES OUT RIGHT NOW.
It's just so fucking beautiful man. Probably the best song I will hear all year. Obviously my favorite from Hazbin.
There's something so insane to me about being able to create and recreate vintage or even ancient music, clothes, fabrics, building architecture, anything, really.
I watched this video about a lady who knit a WWII-era vest, and it was really unique, because the cable work would eat up yarn, when there were shortages of fibers. This pattern would have likely been used by people to send overseas to soldiers, and now it's being created in a time where this war has been over for generations. What were the people making this pattern thinking of? What about the people making the vest? Could they fathom a world where world wars didn't happen back to back? Could they imagine what peace felt like, or did it fade like a distant memory, a faint friend? All we have now are the remnants of their efforts, a "simple" vest that would warm the bodies of countless people the knitter would never have imagined were here on earth with them.
We're reaching across time to learn about other people - we're reaching our hands out just to grasp anything tangible. And when we've take hold of something, all we can do is say I love you I love you I love you
i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it
My baby cousin (aged 10) out of nowhere last night goes "oh! 9:11, take a moment of silence"
And I burst into hysterical laughter, which all my baby cousins (ages 8 to 14) were very confused about, mostly because it was so Boomer-esqe. And not even my Hyper conservative grandparents do that.
Was i wrong for this? It was just so out of left field and out of charecter to hear
because the doctor was so confused about why he was scared of the bogeyman. he told ruby: i dont get scared like that. i don’t run.
and in the literal very next episode with an apparent 6 month timeskip, he’s scared. he runs. and ruby says: you’re never scared. you don’t run.
and obviously in space babies he saved the day by being brave. but it wouldve served the narrative a lot more to show him being brave for a whole episode. being the doctor. (not that he’s not being the doctor—he very much is.) but a buffer! show us them leaning into the bestieism!
and i hate hate hate comparing eras but this is their third episode… they’re meant to still be in a learning curve. we’re meant to see them get closer and learn each other. it was an issue w chibs that a lot of things reached the point where they had to happen offscreen or never and i reaaallly dont want rtd to land there too. i just super wish there was at least one buffer episode between space babies and the devil’s chord. still loved it tho.
i was trying to use that age post to try an gauge how old an alter is but due to not being a literal child in the meat world shes kinda contradictory. the youngest on that post is 4 anyway where they can understand language but she cant. so idk. she has very limited speech but i dont think its linked to her age i think thats just a limitation she has but she also cant understand language most of the time either. so idk. anyways thats my late night tjoughts
