I Recently Browsed The Hazbin Hotel Subreddit (seriously, Don’t Go There—it’s A Minefield Of Die-hard

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.

Aithusa *in her mind, holding a rabbit she caught*:I can kill you here or I can prolong your pain...

Kilgarrah *who can hear her thoughts*: Girl, what??

Aithusa *who watched Morgana torture her enemies*: Oh, mommy hunts for nutrition, just like I do :)

Aithusa clearly thinks Morgana ate her enemies.

I found this video about Hazbin Hotel's problems, mainly Charlie as a character. Very good critical video.

What I like about the new episode is that we finally see Millie and Blitz relationship away from the main group, I wished we got to see more of it sooner in season 1 instead of season 2.

My only problem is how come Millie is so chill with Blitz? Blitz and Loona have been shown to fatshame Moxxie (the person she MARRIED too)

I get the main person who fatshames Moxxie is Loona, but at the end of the day, Blitz doesn't do anything to stop Loona.

Blitz also follows both Millie and Moxxie back to their apartment. And Blitz is shown breaking in and recording them.

So, I don't get how Millie is so chill with the guy who hasn't been paying her or her husband for a month. Who also stalk and break into their apartment.

I just expected that in the episode, we were going to see a scene where Millie talks to Blitz about his actions.

(Maybe in the future episode, they might cover it?)

Merlin is on bed rest and unavailable to work so George has to step in for a few weeks

“George, where are my socks?”

“They’re in the sockdrawer sire, next to your smallclothes — here, i’ll grab them for you”

“But why are they there??”

“Because…that’s where the socks belong?”

“But Merlin always kept my socks in the basket next to the wardrobe”

“Why would he do that? that makes no sense?”

“Huh…no idea… but I prefer it that way, so dump the socks into the basket and leave the drawer empty”

🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺

“Your breakfast is on the table sire, i’ve pressed your formal robe so it’s ready for petitions in the afternoon, and your ceremonial circlet is polished for you”

“Why are you standing over there? aren’t you gonna drag me out of the bed feet first?”

“Your majesty!? why on earth would I do such a thing?!”

“It’s just…that’s usually how merlin wakes me up — nevermind, hand me that apple”

🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏

“I’ve packed your saddlebags for the hunting trip, my lord”

“Good, It’s going to be a great day for fishing”

“Fishing sire? I’m afraid I haven’t packed anything for a fishing trip, forgive me sire, I had no idea your plans had changed”

“Oh right, you wouldn’t know. Merlin hates hunting, so we always fish, but we still call it a hunting trip so that others won’t ask any questions”

“I see, sire (he didn’t) but are you still going fishing now that Merlin is on bedrest and unable to join?”

“Ah…I hadn’t thought of that. Perhaps you would join me?”

“I …thank you sire, but my chores…”

“Of course, you’re right. I’ll ask Sir Percival if he will join me instead”

🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

“My lord, might I help you with — that?”

“Ah no thanks George, I’ve got it”

“Right of course sire. Might I ask, no forgive me, its not my place to question his majesty”

“No no, go ahead, just ask”

“What…or I guess, why are you…dusting under the bed?”

“Merlin gets terribly sneezy when it’s dusty, so I always make sure it doesn’t get too dusty in here, otherwise I’ll never hear the end of it, ahaha”

“But why isn’t Merlin, your manservant, dusting under the bed himself?”

“Oh he hates dusting”

Forever wishing there would have been a seasonal gimmick where someone from Merlin’s past comes to Camelot and spills some tea.

Like, just some rando comes by and drops the wildest lore that not even the audience knows to the knights super casually and leaves.

I.e.

Will (if he had lived): I’m glad Merlin found a place here. I thought for sure he’d end up banished again (: Arthur: He got banished from Ealdor? Will: What? No. Camelot wasn't Hunith’s first choice. Merlin just kept pissing people off in other kingdoms so she had to send him to Gaius because nobody else had a chance of controlling him. Arthur: Are you-? Actually, no. This tracks.

Or

Random Girl: Hi, I'm looking for my brother? He lives in the palace, I think. Elyan: And who might your brother be? Random Girl: Oh, sorry. I'm Ganieda! Merlin's sister. Gwaine: No fucking way

I'm just saying, there is no way Merlin stayed out of trouble his entire childhood. Consider:

Some Guy: Is Merlin here? Leon: You're not related to him, are you? Some Guy: No, I cannot say I am. Years ago we had a brief tryst while on an adventure together before parting ways. I heard he was in Camelot so I thought- Arthur: He's not here. Some Guy: Oh, but- Arthur: He actually died yesterday and, completely unrelated, I'm going to have to banish you. Goodbye. Don't return.

Illegally streaming the Turkish dub of Merlin with auto-translated English subtitles as god intended

A screenshot of Gaius. The subtitles read, "need liver."

Gaius has his priorities straight at the Round Table

A screenshot of Elyan. The subtitles read, "Even though I am a worthless commoner, you risked your life for me,"

Elyan is a little more self deprecating in this version

A screenshot of Arthur knighting Lancelot. The subtitles read, "up surlancerodum camblock knight."
A screenshot of Elyan. Arthur speaks from offscreen. The subtitles read, "up knight has risen."

At least the knighting ceremony is going well. Up Knight has risen.

A screenshot of Merlin, speaking to Lancelot. The subtitles read, "Life. My destiny is in the hands of your organ."

The Mercelot of it all lmao???

A screenshot of Arthur. Subtitles read, "If we're going to kidnap everyone, we have to be inconspicuous."

Arthur goes rogue due to the stress

A screenshot of Gwaine. The subtitles read, "also call me circuswain."

Sometimes, I Wish I Had Never Learned To Read... Because Then I Wouldn't Have To Read This Nonsense

Sometimes, I wish I had never learned to read... because then I wouldn't have to read this nonsense

I mentioned before in another post, but Millie is obviously stressed because one now she can't do her job because it is stressful and dangerous (things you should avoid while pregnant)

Leaving moxxie as the sole provider until she is ready to come back and work. Pride + hell as a whole is a very expensive place to live, and her not getting paid for a month doesn't help to soothe her worries that she can have a kid and not worry about money.

Like, yeah, business is great, but how long until the next big bad decide to ruin that for them?

Second, it also obvious that Moxxie and Millie never had a talk about whether or not kids were something they wanted at the moment.

So she worried how a kid will impact their relationship. Because kids can really make or break your relationship.

Another thing I should mention again is their job is really dangerous. Their field creates many enemies, so the baby safety is always at risk.

Not only that, Imps are basically humans, they can die from an injury. So what will happen if Millie and Moxxie died during a mission? who takes care of the baby? Who will make sure the baby is safe?

There are a lot of stressful/painful what if you have to consider, especially in place like hell where anything can happen.

So, it obviously Millie called Sallie for support not because Sallie is the baby other parent.

How do you feel about the new episode

Honestly, I didn't plan to watch the new episode today since I'm both sick and busy.

But tiktok spoiled Millie pregnancy for me, and right now, I'm debating actually watching the episode to see what else is going to happen

i think arthur started loving merlin in episode 1 btw he didn’t quite realize it but like the moment merlin talked back to him he was done for yeppp merlin didn’t reciprocate until arthur followed him back to ealdor tho and showed he cared not only for him, but his home and the people he loved

they were still too stupid to figure it out tho, but in my mind they start hooking up somewhere in season 2….
