Fanfiction Isn’t Enough, I Need To Chew On Him

thinking about how victor was so horrified and disgusted by his creation because when he animated it, it didn’t instantly heal itself. that’s why the creature was so repugnant to him—he was mismatched moving parts, lacerations sewn shut. when victor created something, the open wound of his mother’s death didn’t instantly heal itself.

finally, some good food

hazbin hotel review!

yeah, i’m late to the bandwagon. i saw the pilot when i came out, was fiercely praying for the rest of it, but fell out of love with the fandom tbh for a while. but it’s good to be back on the air!

solid 7/10 show. very fun to watch, enjoyable characters and musical numbers, and compelling visuals. misc observations below the cut; some of it will be critique, some of it analysis.

i really liked zestial but the writers switched between thou/you so inconsistently and even incorrectly

carmilla was a compelling character, but i don’t think they can give her that moral code and also make her an arms dealer. why wouldn’t she want war? why wouldn’t she want to sell the only weapons that can aid demons in this war? “i need to protect my family” wasn’t enough of a motivation for me. they could’ve easily given her a different profession and it would’ve made perfect sense. i also didn’t like her hands.

favorite characters: alastor, vox, lucifer, charlie

least favorite characters: cherri bomb and,,, im sorry,, angel dust

favorite/least favorite status comes from how interesting or annoying they were for me to watch, not which ones were the most sympathetic (i thought angel was quite sympathetic, just poorly written)

angel mostly just got on my nerves in the first half of the show because every bit of dialogue was either a sex joke or exposition about his trauma and why he is the way he is. but mostly just talking about sex. and they gave him jack shit to do in the second half of the season. i think conceptually he’s a great character but in execution there’s not a lot of depth to him; they need to give him a personality beyond his profession imo

alastor’s best moments came ‘seeing him in action’ like in his songs and the scary animation moments (those were soo good). i also really liked the cannibalism town scenes with rosie. i often thought his dialogue was lacking and they sometimes didn’t do a great job separating things he would say from generic things any ‘vivziepop character’ would say (‘i’m going to fucking kill you’ or whatever he said to adam)

charlie could be grating at times but i feel like all in all she was a solid and sympathetic protagonist and kept me rooting for her the entire time

one aspect i really really liked is the fact that no one knows what gets souls into heaven. i think that’s a good way for covering the lack of a cohesive standard of moral degeneracy in hell—most people just drink, fuck, and do drugs. the murderers and cannibals make sense, val makes sense, etc, but most actual characters in hazbin and helluva boss seem to have an inherent understanding of right and wrong that is quite standard. i really hope the criteria for salvation is explored further—is it conservative christian values? is it something else? is it predestination? is it haphazard? this is really really interesting to me!!!

furthermore, the fact that sir pentious died and went to heaven is obviously a sign in charlie’s favor that redemption is possible, which paints hell as more of a purgatory or even ‘second earth’ than a traditional christian hell. i wonder what god/jesus will be like in the hellaverse. i’m half predicting a sort of wizard of oz situation

my only other theory is that by the end of the show a shift will have occurred from charlie focusing on reforming souls to get into heaven and instead on reforming souls and hell itself to be a better place

A Star Is Born

anus and dildo situationship lore goes crazy

love how fucked up the ned/robert dynamic is. they grew up together and got attached because they both have brothers they aren’t close to and replace with one another despite the jarring similarities (brandon and stannis). ned loving robert despite the atrocities he committed and the ones he refused to condemn, hiding himself in the north so he doesn’t have to be faced with how much of a monster his friend actually is and feeding that lie to his children. robert forcing ned to come south with him and run his kingdom all under the premise they were always meant to rule together (they were full on married for the entirety of agot tbh). robert projecting how much he wanted to be with ned onto lyanna. robert loving ned arguably more than anyone else in his life and despite all that he refuses to respect his boundaries and wishes. their entire agot relationship is held together by nostalgia and like 20 layers of traumabonding that neither would ever work through. ned getting himself killed because he loved robert too much. god what the fuck is wrong with those two.
