Do you think all the characters sound the same for having some curses in their dialogue?

...

Okay. I need to go to my computer for this. Hang on.

...

There we go.

Alright, so I dunno if you were looking for a whole funking essay, but if you weren't, then you shouldn't have asked me, Momo Marie, certified story and dialogue nerd with a degree in English and a master in Writing Papers in 12 Hours or Less

Disclaimer: I'm gonna use a lot of sarcasm because it's funny but it is NOT at all meant to be hostile towards you anon. This is a totally innocent question and I'm actually excited to answer it :)

First, I need more specification on what you mean by "all characters sound the same for having some curses in their dialogue"?

I'm gonna assume you're talking about Helluva and Hazbin, I figured that part, but what do you mean by some curses in their dialogue? Are you asking if they talk the same because they all curse period? Because if so, easy answer! No. :)

More detailed answer!

Cursing itself is SO FUCKING VERSATILE. I actually kinda have a fascination with it (much to my mom's chagrin). It's like a whole nother language itself! And the way people use language tells SO much of their character.

Let's compare some characters cursing each other out, shall we?

In Spring Broken, when Blitz first sees Verosika, one thing he says is: "I'm surprised they let your fat ass out of rehab, I can see you're still a drunken WHORE clutching onto that Beelzejuice like its the last cock in Hell!"

Blitz is VERY colorful with his language. He knows how to adjust it so that he can properly insult whoever he's talking to. Verosika's a succubus and an alcoholic, so he personalizes the insults to fit her specifically. We've seen in the pilot that Blitz has NO QUALMS with using slurs, and while the show (thankfully) avoids using the more harmful slurs, he still mixes them in to hit right where it hurts. Blitz compares Verosika to a whore, not for other demons or humans, but for alcohol, she needs drink more than she needs cock.

This isn't the only time Blitz does this! In Loo Loo Land, Blitz argues with Robo Fizz: "Bitch, I make more money killing people than you do being a cheap ass robo ripoff of an OVERRATED, SELL-OUT JESTER!!"

Again, Blitz is crafting his language to fuck this robot in a way that it's all pain and no pleasure! First off, he's comparing money and, with Robo Fizz being in Greed and owned by Mammon, it's reasonable to think he might be sensitive to that. Plus, Blitz calls him a cheap ass ripoff, saying that Robo Fizz is nothing but a copy—and not even a good one at that.

Then he gets all heated in the last part, likely directing it more to the real Fizz than Robo Fizz, but this isn't a Blitzfizz essay, so I will refrain from that for now.

But honestly! The way Blitz curses very much reminds me of another character in another piece of media with such creative insults!

Karkat from Homestuck

They're both very creative with their language and can't just say "Fuck you!" They have to say more. And even here, they're different. Karkat crafts his like poetry trying to be as vulgar as he can and cramming in language until the swear jar explodes. While with Blitz, though we know he curses a lot, less is more! He focuses more on the traits of the person he's insulting!

Let's move on to another character—Moxxie!

In The Harvest Moon Festival, when Moxxie finds the angelic gun, this happens:

Moxxie: Oh my crumbs!...How-how in the fuck did he get one of these?

Striker: Why don't you ask me, little dude?

Moxxie: Shit! Why do you have this...M-Mister?

Moxxie is soooooo different when it comes to his language. Most of the time, he uses safer replacements for them (which I still consider language in how they're used, but language you can use around kids :D). He says "Oh my crumbs!" or he might go "Heavens!" But he still uses the big boys too—going "How the fuck?" as he was genuinely confused and flabbergasted that Striker had such a weapon. Then, when Striker was revealed to be behind him, Moxxie gets spooked and goes "Shit!"

Moxxie isn't a crafter when it comes to his language. It's purely for surprise, frustration, anger, strong emotions rather than hitting where it hurts. The only time he curses in the pilot is when he goes: "ARE YOU FUCKING TAPING US RIGHT NOW?" because he's that shocked and pissed that Blitz is interrupting them on such an intimate moment. Language is less of an art with Moxxie and more of a way to quickly express himself when he's got them negative feelings.

Now my personal fave: Charlie~

In the pilot, when she's deciding to accept Alastor's help for the hotel, she says: "So, Al, you're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke. But I don't!"

*deep breath* god I love her so much

Charlie's a fucking princess, okay? A princess of HELL. She's nice and sweet and tries to do right by everyone, but she knows how to lay down the fucking law. She tells Al straight up that she doesn't trust him, but she doesn't mind him helping as long as he stays in his lane. And you can tell she's serious because she's cursing. Throughout the pilot, she only uses language when she feels like she absolutely has to: To put Katie Killjoy in her place ("How's it feel that I got your pen, bitch?"), to quote her dad ("You don't take shit from other demons!") and here! She generally tries to be careful with her words and express herself in other ways, but also knows that sometimes, there's only one thing a demon will actually listen to. She's not afraid to drop a well placed F-bomb if needed.

Kinda similar to David from Camp Camp!

David is a camp counselor who's a goody two shoes, super positive, sweetheart who just once to do right and have the kids love camp as much as he did! Except most of the kids hate it, especially the main character Max, and don't understand his positivity. Until, in the season one finale, when David finally tells him why he does it: "Because some fucking has to."

This is (as far as I'm aware) the only time David curses, so the fact that he's willing to not only curse but also do it in front of a ten-year-old tells you that he's 100% serious.

This, folks, is what we call a precision F-word—one of my fave kinds of F-words :)

When you're so used to someone talking and not cursing, and then you finally hear them go "Fuck", you're first thought is to be like "Oh shit, they're serious!"

Charlie doesn't do this quite to the same extent as David, but she curses WAAAAAAAAAAY less than, like, 99% of the Hellaverse characters, leading to when she does really having more of a punch.

I could go on! I could go into how Millie and Loona use their language! How Verosika insults! The whole scene with Angel Dust and his...customer(?) where the guy calls Angel a slut and Angel's like "Oh, honey, you can do better than that"

But we'd be here forever and I haven't eaten today :)

Overall moral of the story: Just because characters use curse words and slurs doesn't mean they're talking the same! Just like with all other art, words are a tool and they way you use it tells you a ton about someone's character, and this is especially true for curse words.

Why's every song about love or drinking too much? Yeah, maybe that's because everybody's lonely On your radio, there's another song that goes "Babe, I'll never let you go" Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely

In 1989, British computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and changed the world forever. In this video, Sir Tim reflects on the inspiration for his technological transformation and the series of events that led him to the landmark moment.

Sotheby’s auctioned the source code for the World Wide Web in a standalone online auction ‘This Changed Everything’ (23 – 30 June 2021). The original time stamped files, signed by Sir Tim, were made available as an NFT, along with an animated visualisation of the code, a letter by Sir Tim reflecting on the process of creating the code, and a digital ‘poster’ of the full code. The digital artefact sold for $5.4M.

Kissing strangers for 🚬?

How jealous do you or your f/o get? Is your selfship rather casual with public intimacy? How receptive are either of you to third parties flirting with your partner? Is it something you can laugh about?

🚬 is very much the "disappearing people" type. I mean, if its something that could be brushed off, he might not. Sanya/🦴 is kind of too, if we're honest. They both just have different thresholds for when they decide that is a valid approach!

🚬 is less trigger happy in comparison. If someone did the "it's a fancy event, let me kiss your hand" thing to 🦴, then... He'd seethe, but they probably wouldn't vanish. There's social circumstances around that. He grinds his teeth, takes the extra drag, moves one with a hand at faers hip.

If 🦴 were in the same circumstances, 🦴 would've had them disappear later in the same event. They'd just both happen to go the bathroom at some point, but the dude wouldn't have come back! What a weird occurrence. I'm sure he's just having stomach issues.

🚬's restraint doesn't save everyone though. If you buy faer a drink and start asking what at hitman like that is doing in a place like this... 🦴 won't have the time to look over and call the guy a creep. He'll be on the floor, "was that guy bothering you?"

They're both kinda like that though, so it's incredibly casual between them.

By the way I got the website to work for me. I'm ready to be one hand on the crank facilitating the return of WWW.

As we get further into the year, getting closer to summer I will be gifting subs to the new Watcher site. Just as a way to give back to a community that helped me so much in 2020, and is still my favourite source of entertainment now in 2024.
