When we think of our favorite character, we all think of the specially the color associated with that character.
_______
Examples:
Sonic - blue
Batman - black
Deadpool - red + black
The Simpsons - yellow
The iron giant - gray
Joker - purple
Princess peach - pink
____
I try to choose some very popular characters. But still, as you can see, the dominant color aspect of their character is very much there.
The reason why it is important to add the dominant color to characters:
● It helps people recognize that character instantly
● Plus, if you are going to be really official, it can help with branding your character, like how companies try to do with their brand recognition.

While hazbin Hotel just sticks with the same colors (which it is completely fine, i will explain later). All the main characters have their dominant color as red, white, black, or pink.
_____
Examples:
Alastor - red
Angel - pink + white
Charlie - red
Husk - black
Lucifer - white + pink
Cherry bomb - pink + red
Vaggie - gray + red
Sir pentious - black
Nifty - red
____
I try to stick with the main cast, and as you can see, they all have either red, white, pink, or black going on for their dominant color.
Now, it is completely fine if you use the same dominant colors for your characters. A good example of this is Spiderman across the spider verse.
All of the spidermans share the colors of blue + red, but for miles and gwen. Miles is red + black, while gwen is white + pink.
But what makes the characters look unique despite sharing the same color palette. Are the backgrounds!
____
Spider verse backgrounds
All the backgrounds I choose have a purple/blue theme going on, but they still have colors that make them pop enough to have both the characters themselves stick out while also leaving you with drop-dead gorgeous backgrounds!
Seriously, look at miles! The background really made him pop out while keeping the background unique as well!
_______
Hazbin hotel backgrounds
The Hazbin hotel backgrounds are good! But I feel like something is missing. Since the backgrounds and the characters are the same colors, the characters don't pop at all.
Look at lucifer at the bottom picture. Yes, he pops out, but he still looks like he is blending in with the background rather than sticking out.
I mean, look at the yellow lamp at the right. The lamp is sticking out more than the character.
_______
Final takes:
The amount of detail in the Spiderman backgrounds is crazy. I do understand that for animation purposes, the backgrounds have to be simpler in Hazbin Hotel.
Overall, I just suggest you don't overuse the same colors for your characters, BUT if you absolutely have to! Please don't make your background the same color! It won't make your character pop, nor it would look good unless you know what the heck you are doing.
Just a quick update on the hacker situation! And how the hacker was able to get the leaks.
*this all alleged!*
How the hacker got the leaks:
Basically, one of the companies that worked on HH this season, their website got breached.
So, the hacker was able to obtain all the HH stuff the company was working on.
But, the company was only given 4 episodes to work with, episodes 2, 4, 6, and 8 . And out of the episodes, episode 2 was most far ahead in development, so that is why the full episode was leaked.
The other episodes were still in production, so only small bits were leaked.
Update on the full situation:
The hacker got arrested
allegedly, they were scamming people, saying if you gave them money, they would give you entire episodes of Hazbin Hotel.
Well, new flash, they ended up just giving the people that paid nothing or funny meme videos.
The only reason they were caught was because the hacker gave out their real-life bank account information.
So, the police were able to catch and arrest the hacker. Now, the hacker has to pay 100,000 in damages.
Says the woman who would rather post about going to Broadway shows, karaoke, going to see movies multiple times, traveling abroad, and going out to eat than donate to charities or give to the more unfortunate. Fucking hypocrite.
So viv, if you knew that line was gonna trouble, why didn't you or your team add something to show that Satan was lying
I mean, one way you could have fixed it is by having Oz or Bee saying something about it instead of them looking awkwardly towards Lucifer chair and then to each other
This is how I would probably rewrite the scene to have Oz and Bee saying something about Satan lying
Satan says, "I am the mastermind, and here I am the law. I've ruled the endless dark since long before the golden angel's fall."
Oz quickly whispers to Bee. "Here he goes with his lying bs."
"I know! And it is not like anyone believes this. Everyone knows that Lucifer was here before any of us!" Whisper Bee
Then, before Oz could respond, Mammon loudly shush him
Is this a rewrite of this scene the greatest ever? Absolutely not
I tried my best, and I guarantee someone has a better idea of how to rewrite this scene. But this is how I would fix the scene.
If you guys have any ideas on how to rewrite this scene, please do tell!
Does anyone remember that velvette supposed to be a witch/potion maker?
I sure didn't!
I was checking her wiki because I wanted to include something about her during a conversation with my friend.
And I read about how she made love potions with the help of Valentino. And then I remember the whole she is a witch/influencer/fashion designer.
I don't know whether making her have a talent in potion making is a good idea when everyone forgets. Or it mashed in with her other stuff.
So, I have an idea for a merlin fic, could be oc or reader insert, involving a kingdom of magic, a people born with wings, emrys = god of magic, bad!morgana turns good!morgana, dragonlord stuff, magic reveal, weird timeline (uther is alive, but the knights are around. ) uther WILL get bitchslapped, but I won't tell you by who, and other things. I promise, it fits together better than it sounds like it would. Yes? No?
Just a daily reminder!
Remember, we are supposed to fear alastor more than the deadly 7 sins.
And how alastor a normal sinner is worse than the sins as well.
EDIT: This post is a joke. I'm really sorry if that wasn't made out to be clear 😅
MERLIN REWATCH ✦ 1.05 Lancelot
Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.
So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.
I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.
They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)
They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.
I recently browsed the Hazbin Hotel subreddit (seriously, don’t go there—it’s a minefield of die-hard defenders), and I stumbled upon a post responding to a critical take about Vivziepop’s apparent lack of attention to the broader LGBTQ+ community. The critical post raised some valid points, but the reaction from the posters was… interesting, to say the least. Here’s what they shared along with their response to it:
Critic: “Hey, maybe we should include more representation in the show since you claim to love diversity and call it a queer show! :D”
Hazbin hotel Reddit: “They’re forcing Vivzie to slap random labels on characters! It’s unrealistic to develop every character’s identity!”
Somehow, though, they conveniently overlook the fact that characters like Barbie Wire (who appeared in just one episode), Octavia (who had only two), Vassago, Mammon (who had a single episode at the time of this post), Beelzebub (one episode), and Chaz (who appeared in just one episode before presumably meeting their end) all had little to no development prior to their respective Pride Month reveals—and yet, they all had their sexualities confirmed out of the blue. In fact, Vassago’s sexuality was even revealed before his debut, all the way back when the trailer for Season 2 first dropped.
On a more serious note, if you believe that representation only “counts” when characters explicitly state their queer, trans, or otherwise marginalized identities, here’s something to consider: a character’s sexuality or gender identity doesn’t always need to be the focus of the story nor does it need to be justified. By that logic, why is Blitzo pansexual? Why is Angel gay? Why are Loona and Charlie bisexual? Why is Mammon asexual? Why is Vaggie a lesbian? These identities are just part of who they are and they don’t need to define their entire narrative. In most cases they might only be mentioned in passing or through jokes. Visibility doesn’t always require a spotlight or a deep narrative explanation, sometimes, it’s enough for it to simply exist.
