Blitzo: “And we don’t get rid of family.”

Moxxie: “We aren’t a family, Sir.”

Charlie and Blitz then and now ❤️🖤

It's not too late. It never was.

Viv took one look at this Candy Cane, and decided to give him a makeover and his own show.

And then Brandon came in and gave him all the rizz and self-loathing...

Hazbin hotel / Fanart/ My redraw of this pic from the pilot!✨🖤

I know this is so crazy obvious but I just LOVE comparing the pilot to the newest episodes… the designs… the improvements.. the changes

Mostly with blitz

BUT ESPECIALLY WITH STOLAS

This bird and his dramatic draping himself upon couches

[applecherry108]

A) Blitz has him saved as “Stols” in his phone. 😭💘

B) His contact photo is the silly portrait in his bedroom.

Something I remembered I found about Viv and HH pilot cast. Also repeating situation of not properly crediting her artists. Or at least one here I am aware of.

It is something I got reminded of when I listened to this video by MrBooone

And I got reminded of something funny... or rather sad and disturbing.

Goodbye song by HH pilot crew again and I realized those pics below I made of the comment section. The song BTW is this lovely one where OG crew sang their hearts out as goodbye for HH.

And here are fun comments. Remember. This is by OG cast of HB and this singing voice of Alastor

Viv had nothing to do with the cast change... fun. Bosco would have his role as Striker jeopardy if he sang in this what is essentially goodbye song. That's worse... And OG cast were not invited to the premiere... Yeah all of this combined... that's awful. Beyond awful. Actually so awful I have no clue how in the fuck everyone just forgot about this. Why? Shouldn't that be a bigger deal? Eh... Maybe that's just internet, but man. Also another one

I guess this just further twists the knife here. And for all here that say "Well it happens. Show biz and such and they seem to be okay with it and have bright futures."

Well there is another issue among countless others where she also goes on to NOT credit her artists... at all. Well she does AFTER the fact, but in closed captions... you know because that's proper way to do this... yeah. Also she did it twice or three times I dunno. Have it below.

BTW this Salem person is actually VERY talented. Give them love and follow or something. They really nicely shoot those scenes and add a sense of tension and movement even in those stills and shading they make really adds to the atmosphere and cinematic feel. I say the script of Viv is way below their paygrade. Then again, not like Viv disagrees with me I guess given how reluctant she is to crediting them. Funny. And really, really... sad. No idea if this already was covered to death here. I am no experienced social media guy, but I thought I want to share my thoughts on it. I guess this is a post for those who are not that in the know of this shait either.

But in terms of Viv I guess she practices what she preaches and I assume she REALLY is the God of Hellaverse.

Vivdamn perfect ain't it?

Stolas del piloto

Me agradaba la idea que fuera el villano

[showtoonzfan]

Can I just say real quick, that I want to mourn the fact that we’ll never hear a Vivziepop female character talk vulgar about her vagina. Like, you know it’s true. How come her male characters can constantly joke about their dicks and have a lot of dirty sex jokes revolving around them but her females get nothing (outside of being called sluts and whores that is.) Like if you want your show to be edgy and raunchy at least go all out. I say this because Hazbin is getting real close, and I’m not expecting ANY vulgarity with Charlie and Vaggie, Viv’s only wlw couple. No sex jokes, no roughly kissing or anything, none of that. Of course I’m not saying they can’t be anything BUT sex jokes, but I am saying that it is extremely telling that all of Viv’s mlm characters can be open and dirty about themselves but Charlie and Vaggie are reduced down to just being gentle and soft. At most I’m expecting things like hand holding and kisses but that’s it, and it really does suck like…let your female characters be vulgar about their bodies too. (Outside of being slut shamed)

WHY when someone says "I love Angel Dust and his story and how his character was portrayed" there's always the haters who go "BuT aNgEl Dust is a BaD rEpReSeNtAtiOn1!1!1!"

I DON'T CAAAAREEEEEEEEEE

Also it's a bad representation… TO YOU?!?! I have some media literacy and I completely understand how is character is portrayed. His story and his behaviour is MEANT to make people uncomfortable, not every victim is the same. You only like victims when they act as you like (Angel Dust did act like your prototype of victim in episode 4, but I guess you erased that part for your personal grudge) by crying and showing all the time how their situation affects them in a passive way.

Angel Dust is not like that because his situation doesn't allow that and because his personality simply isn't like that. He's not passive about what happens to him, he always reacts in different ways.

And his situation doesn't allow him to be your type of victim because he is bound to be a victim of his abuser due to their contract. He can't behave like a victim at work, but he does when he's alone (as shown in episode 4 or in the mv Addict).

People saw one person talking bad about Angel Dust (and Hazbin Hotel in general) and followed like sheeps with no brain and critical thinking of their own. Going around saying that Angel Dust's story and relationship with Valentino is not realistic enough…

While their relationship is INCREDIBLY realistic???

Going beyond the contract of the show and the work relationship, Angel Dust and Valentino's relationship is the perfect representation of couples where there's a controlling abuser and a victim who can't escape him for different reasons (manipulation, isolation, economic violence, ecc…).

ALSO it INFURIATES me when people say "Valentino shouldn't have been good looking and attractive because, since he's evil, he should be ugly and him being charming means romanticizing the abuse"

... NO?!?!?!?

That's literally the whole point??? The fact thar Valentino is attractive is ESSENTIAL in Angel's story because it shows that it's absolutely NOT true (even in real life) that good looking men are always only good and ugly men are bad. ON THE CONTRARY, a good looking man is usually a vain self-centered narcissist who's the first one to manipulate their partner to keep them chained up and deprive them of their freedom (AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO ANGEL DUST?)

I swear, y'all complain thar "he's not realistic that a victim gnegnegne" and then you say that am abuser should only be ugly. Do you have the brain of a 4 years old who knows nothing about the real world and thinks that everything is like a fairytale or what?

It's EASY to fall in the trap of the charismatic attractive guy, because it lures EVERYONE, not just in romantic terms.

This is the realistic story about Angel Dust and about many other victims, fallen in the hands of a narcisistic, controlling and possessive partner.

One of the PILOT SCENES is in TRUTH SEEKERS?!!?!

this may not be news to many people but today is the day that I noticed and I am losing it lol

[luneemeritus]

"pilot Stolas was better!!" no, he wasn't.

"bring pilot Stolas back!!" no ❤️

You want an evil, manipulative, abusive villain with little to no redeeming qualities that is a Goetia and has cool powers? We have two of them: Stella and Andrealphus. If it's only about the 'asthetic', a character doesnt have to be evil to be cool, Stolas's demon form and powerful moments are already amazing, and although he's powerless now, I'm pretty sure he will get his status back at least for a while to make a badass scene.

What the Hellaverse doesnt lack is amazing villains. If critics were so much better and creative than Vivziepop, they wouldn't turn a complex, well written, well designed and well acted character like Stolas into a boring Valentino 2.0 just because the pilot version seemed creepier. Lmao Stella is literally what all of Stolas's haters claim to want, look how well they're handling her. Seriously I've seen people saying that Stella needs a sympathetic reason to be a fucking abuser, but when Stolas (not an abuser) has sympathetic reasons to be who he is and do what he does, it's suddenly not okay.

Stolas is the only character I've ever seen who: sacrifice his life to his lover, and is still called "selfish" and "not enough for Blitz"; is seeing being abused by his wife since EP2-Season 1, even singing about how his life with her was miserable yet he remained strong for his daughter, and people will still claim that Stella turned out to be abusive "out of nowhere"; is forced to marry someone he doesn't love, is abused by said person, spent years alone and enduring that misery, and when he finally chooses to stay with the one person that never abused him, he is an "evil cheater"; sacrifices his own safety and happiness to make his daughter safe and happy, and ALWAYS — always — take accountability when he fails her (or when she thinks he failed her) as any good parent would do, and still be called a bad father (addition: forced to have said child but loves her anyway🤡). Just say yall alergic to character development.

I lost the Tiktok now because I blocked OP, but the big argument about "how much pilot Stolas is better" is a lie basically: canon Stolas, (abuse survivor, has the best development of the show alongside with Blitz, a loving father who remained strong for his daughter), is a "loser" (also a twink in a derogatory way, which is funny like, just say the f slur, we know that's what you mean🤡 specially calling a male abuse survivor "coward" and "loser" lmao like we know), while the pilot Stolas is a "manipulative, inteligent, cold villain" uuuuh no he wasn't lol hate to tell you dude, Pilot Stolas wasnt an evil interesting genius that was sooo intimidating, nah he was just creepy and honestly as funny as the canon one. Yeah you just hate the gay owl being well written. Pilot Stolas has 2 minutes screen. Canon Stolas has two seasons of development, he is the better one, I'm pretty sure people who say this don't even remember half of the pilot.

So it's not really about Stolas's actions, or mistakes, or him being a good or a bad person (he is a good person). He could be the most perfect, excellent, flawless victim, the 'wokest' most self aware pure angel, it's still not enough. Because it's not about him, it's about a version of him that never came to be but haters love to whine about it.
