I actively lost interest in both hb and hh fandom. there are just so many toxic people who say Hazbin Hazbin and Helluva boss are the best. they don't deserve the criticism!

Yet, they don't realize that even the most greatest thing in the world doesn't free itself from criticism.

Since I'm currently bored, what is your favorite and least favorite character of both Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel?

10 months? Yet no playbills in sight

Yeah, to everyone who bought playbills, I don't think you will ever get it.

I mean, you might get it? But like in a year type situation. Where are you going through your mail and boom! Your playbill is here! And you completely forgot you got that.

That is what happened to me, but instead of playbill, it was a pin from Etsy.

(Honestly, you all are saints for this type of patience)

Merthur au/fic idea! So when gewn is crowned queen regnant. Merlin realized he wasn't exactly needed anymore. So he decided to just travel for a bit and then settle down. But in doing this, merlin lost some contact with his surviving friends. The only one he truly stayed in contact with was gewn.

In this au, gewn died without an heir, so on her deathbed, she declared that merlin would take the throne if he chooses to do so.

Merlin, despite not wanting the throne, decides to take it as a way to honor his last friend wishes.

Now, more time has passed, the kingdom is thriving, people are united, and they are happy. While Merlin is just colder.....each day, he becomes more cold, distant, and discomfort as he face with wearing the crown.

Merlin hates being king, but he knows that he is technically the only one left. And he hates that, he hates the reminders. He just wants to move on with life. But being king is tied to the place full of memories, and merlin doesn't want to be a reminded of those memories.

Soon, merlin came up with a plan. He will find a successor to teach. Then, after the successor is older and ready, he gives up his crown and finally can move on with his life.

The problem is that the choices of successors to take in and teach are either childish or immature, or they are only doing it for selfish reasons.

But then a magical twins orpans get his attention by doing some powerful magic while being so young. But the consequence of that's is they have magical outbreaks. When their powers start to break out, they can't stop themselves

The only person who can help them, though, is merlin. He is able to calm them down, but lately, it has become too much to keep up. So merlin has been trying everything to help them out with her powers, but it seems like nothing has work. Merlin has been losing more sleep and becoming more cold trying to find the answer.

Then, Merlin held a party to all kingdom and magical beings on the anniversary of the kingdom. But then, merlin is stabbed by someone. As he is slowly dying, the twins can't watch the man they thinks of as a father slowly died. Especially knowing they can do something.

So they decided to do something to help merlin. They found a spell to try to send them back in the past to a couple of days before the accident to try and stop it.

But the start of the spell gets out of control. Causing them and Merlin back to the start of season 1.

Gravity falls au I came up with for funnies!

So this au started because I had an idea! What if Mabel and Dipper were the opposite, of summer them.

So basically, in California, Dipper was still awkward but got by just having fun. While Mabel was the smart twin!

Mabel didn't like being label the smart twin since that cause her to live under pressure that she never be known as anything else.

Dipper hated being known for nothing. He was always known as Mabel twin and nothing else. He would love to be labeled with something that isn't just nothing but Mabel twin.

When their parents sent them off to gravity falls. On the bus there. Mabel and Dipper come up with the plan to switch personality for the summer.

Just to know how it feels to be in each other shoes, even if it is just for one summer.

______________________________________

This au is for fun only, and I'm still working on it. But I thought it would make a fun parallel au (I explained how it parallel au later in another post, probably or if someone sends me asks about it)

Anyway, have a good rest of your day!

Plans for my posts for the next couple of weeks:

●I'm planning to post the rest of my episodes review of Hazbin Hotel

●Then, do a full season altogether review

●Finally, I do a how I would rewrite the characters and the show.

After all that, I will probably move on to Helluva Boss. And I'm planning to do the same thing as well.

EPISODE 4 OF HAZBIN HOTEL REVIEW!

~~~~~~~~

Tw: sa

I have never been sa, so I can not commentate if the scenes of sa in this episode were done right.

Some people said no, and others have said yes. I see both sides of this argument, but it is just one of those things where I can't speak on it since I never been through that. So I'm just not talk about the sa scenes.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Summary of the episode:

Angel struggles to keep up with both his work life and hotel life. So Charlie decided it was time to use her status to help Angel out.

~~~~~~~~~~~

My problems short formed:

● I didn't really like Charlie in this episode, I get what she was trying to do. It was just one of those things where it was done poorly.

● Why did Husk have to go comfort Angel when Charlie was the reason why Angel was upset.

● I get the whole Husk is the bartender. You spill your dirty laundry on, but like, how did he expect Angel to open up when earlier in the episode he spilled everyone problems.

● does charlie even know Val is a dangerous person?

~~~~~~~~~~~

My problems long formed:

● I get what Charlie is trying to do in this episode. She just went the wrong way about it.

She came off a bit childish for wanting to have Angel at the hotel. But I get it! She wants Angel there to help him. The problem is that Angel has a job, and he is going to work odd hours sometimes. And it is not like this fact was hidden from Charlie.

Charlie knew Angel had a job, so again, she should've done something different. Like asking Angel for work schedule to work around it. Instead of going straight to his workplace, unprepared.

● this where I came to the question, does Charlie know that Val is a dangerous person?

I mean, we, the audience, know that Angel is in the hotel to get away from Val, but does Charlie know that? Maybe Angel didn't tell her the exact reason why he signed up for the hotel?

Anyway, Charlie shouldn't have gone to Angel dust workplace unannounced. Then, after being allowed in! She kept messing around the place and bothered the workers.

I hated that, especially that scene where she kept messing with the mic guy about her hotel, like come on, girl, it not the time nor place. You came here to help Angel not promote your hotel!

● Now, after all that, she started to cry. And then, when Angel finally snaps at Husk. Her and Vaggie are like, "Husk, that wasn't very nice of you!"

And it like, "huh?" All Husk did was trying to give advice to Angel. And, of course, it just went the other way. Charlie sent Angel work place on fire!!!!! I think they both owe Angel an apology. So both of them should've gone.

Helluva boss has a merch problem

______

It is not an entirely bad thing to have merch sells. It just every week they are announcing new merch!

I feel like it has become a problem. like one week, Helluva limit-merch items are announced to be selling fast and here for a limited time.

then checking the website a month later, and the supposedly limited merchandise is still there.

I get that they need money for the animation. But jeez, fans don't have this type of money to pay merchandise every week of their favorite shows.

I feel like they would earn more money if they just instead do the wait couple of months, then do a merch sale. It would give more time for fans to get hyped up about the new merch and time to save up money for it.

I saw a lot of people asking for vaggie, but in my opinion, I will give 2 reasons why she wasn't added in the 1st wave.

1st:

Vaggie is not one of Viv favorites.

2nd:

Vaggie is not one of the fandom favorites.

So, for those 2 main reasons, (in my opinion) is why she probably not made, and why Alastor, Angel, and Charlie were given youtooz figures.

Sinces Alastor and Angel are both Viv + the fandom favorites. I don't know about Charlie being one of Viv favorites, but I do know that charlie is one of the fandoms favorites.

You know what, really angst gravity falls material/headcannon I have!

Just imagine young Bill is telling his parents about the shining small lights he sees. Only for his parents to look at their son with concern, but his parents just chalk it up to just be his wild imagination.

Now, as years go by, as Bill gets older, he is growing more and more angry. Saying stuff like, "There are lights in the sky! Look, one fell, quick make a wish!"

Now Bill is too old for this type of stuff, so his parents grow more concerned and realize they can no longer just go with, "it just his wild imagination!" So they take him to the doctor and get Bill medicine.

Not knowing this just pushed Bill off the edge some more......

Now, the day came... now Euclid and Scalece could only watch as their son slowly destroyed their home. But as they slowly met their demise, they looked up to tiny lights in the sky... but as the dimension fabric started to destroy itself even faster, Euclid and Scalece looked at each other one last time. Then, they looked at the sky again.

3 perfect stars, but as the two big stars started to fall, they both said their first and last wish.

Now, all that is left behind of them and that night. Is their most prize possessions. Their bow, top hat, and most of all, their son.....

Why did you do it?

Why did you do it?

Why did you do it?

Why did you do it?

When I saw this, youtooz shadow(?) alastor figure

I just thought of this:

MY REVIEW OF EPISODE 3!

~~~~~~~~~

Summary of the episode: The episode follows the hotel as they do trust exercises, Charlie puts vaggie in changes. In plot B, we follow Alastor as he goes to an overlord meeting.

~~~~~~~~

My problems short formed:

● so much was going on, but it was still boring

● Some things should be saved for another episode

● cut back on characters

~~~~~

My problems long formed:

● this episode was really boring. It just was a miss for me, I mean, we knew about the angel head. I was surprised when Velvette had the angel head, and Camille was the one that did it, but the shock was over because after that episode, we got nothing on angel head at all.

So I suggest separating Vaggie plot for her own episode, then leave this episode to Camille and velvette as a whole. Before I forget, I suggested in my earlier reviews, keeping the audience from knowing about the angel head, and then when the angel head is thrown, I just know all the audience would be completely focus.

● like I said, vaggie should have an episode focused on her. And who she is without charlie, all the people I seen who like vaggie only like her because she with Charlie.

And I personally feel like you should like the characters for who they are, not who they are with. And for vaggie without or with Charlie, she basically summed up to be angry, doesn't trust anyone, and without a second thought, and pull out her spear.

(I just find it funny that vaggie doesn't do anything with her spear fighting wise until the last couple of episodes)

● I suggest, to cut back on characters, and the overlords could be those characters. I mean, none of them even really spoke except maybe 6.

I think the episode should've the overlords meeting being canceled because everyone was busy or made up excuses on why they didn't show up.

My rewrite:

So we see Camila working, then velvette kick the door open.

Velvette is demanding for Camila use the information she knows. Camila doesn't want to be part of it.

Then velvette talk about how in recent years Camila has been losing more respect form the overlords. Then respectless happens, and then velvette is kicked out. As Camila starts to be more tense, her shadow starts to stretch out, becoming alastor shadow.

~~~~~

Over all 6/10

~~~

Wow, it has been a hot minute since I did a review post. But life has been kicking me hard by keeping me busy. I'm so sorry to keep you all waiting.

Just a fair warning to anyone who wants to buy this shirt. Not everyone watches helluva boss. I repeat, some people are completely clueless to everything related to vivziepop.

So if you gonna go out wearing this shirt, people are going to actively think you support saying slurs or say slurs.

I know people are gonna say well the penguin saying slur's to i.m.p was a joke. But again, people who have never seen the show will think you support saying slurs or at least justify it.

Is it just me, or is it weird, vaggie has long hair?

Vaggie long hair being down all the time is a bit strange? I mean, she is the protector of the hotel. Shouldn't she have her hair up or at least have a hairdo where her hair can be out of her face?

Like, don't get me wrong, I have long hair, but I always keep it up because, first, my hair gets in my face, and It really annoying trying to take your hair out of your face every 5 minutes.

Second, the number one rule in fighting is to never leave your hair down. Why? Because the person you are fighting can grab your hair and pull. The same goes for jewelry.

____

In episode 7, vaggie confessed that she didn't know how to fight with long hair.

I totally understand why vaggie has trouble fighting with long hair. Since she used to short hair, but vaggie character (at least for me) is shown to always be on edge, shown to think the worst, and only really trust charlie.

So it is a bit weird because why vaggie hasn't been practicing fighting with her long hair?

I mean, again, she is the protector of the hotel, and it hell, anything can happen!

Also, another question: How long has vaggie had long hair? I mean, once her hair grew out, she didn't think to practice adjusting to her new hairstyle?

____

Final takes:

Anyway, I do appreciate that in the final episode, they do put vaggie hair up in a ponytail. So that was nice

But I feel like some of the dialog should have been thought though a bit more before going in the all clear.

My review of episode 3 is coming soon, so stay tuned for that!

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.

MY REVIEW OF HAZBIN HOTEL EP 2!

~~~~

Summary of the episode:

This episode follows Alastor as he finally goes back in the public eye. In this same episode, we are finally meeting The vee's: Vox, Velvette, and Valentino. Now, for plot B of the episode, we follow the hotel as they receive a new guest... Sir Pentious!

~~~~

My issues with the episode short formed:

● voice acting (I explain later in full)

● When Charlie said she had to get done in 6 months

● The villains for the season should be switched around

● How they handle Vanlentino character

~~~~

My issues with the episode long formed:

● I heard Valentino voice for the first time, I legit thought, "Why is the Valentino voice changing?" Because Valentino had 10 different voices going on. I don't know if the va was nervous, so he kept messing up, or if he was struggling to keep up with the voice.

● in the beginning of the episode, Charlie was freaking out, saying she had to be done in 6 months. Which to me crazy! For example, if charlie plan of redemption is the first of it kind, why is she limiting herself to 6 months! Like that not enough time to prepare nor find out what she needs to do to help sinners get to heaven.

Like 6 months roll fast! Especially if you are doing something new and unique. Like things take time, that is why a lot of projects take years to take off the ground. So because of that, I do find it a little annoying whenever charlie brings up that she has to be done before 6 months. Because nobody actively told her to do 6 months, and we later see in other episodes that it stresses her out.

So why stick with the 6 month limition when it first stresses you out, and it really doesn't benefit anyone from I can see. Now I think about it, I do see why charlie wants to be done in 6 months, she want to prove to heaven that the extermination is not needed, but I don't know the hotel is not that main of focus to really care about the 6 month limition.

● I feel like the villains should be switched around. Imagine having literally Father of humanity and his right hand person against you, then only for the next season it just 3 people who apparently we supposed to be sacred of. It just feels like a down grade, so just switching villains around would probably just be more appropriate.

● honestly, I hated how Vox treated Val like a child. Like we supposed to fear Val, but honestly, I was just like, when is this gonna be over. I just didn't like how they just treated him as a kid instead of an adult. They do the same thing to charlie, where she more treated as a child than an adult. But charlie I get but Val on the other hand just no.

I would have it rewritten where Vox found out by himself rather than Val telling him. So Vox is doing his thing when his assistant tells him that the radio demon is back. Or Vox is stalking the big computer desk thing he has when he notices a familiar red deer. Either way, Vox rushes in Val room to tell him who is back in town. Then Vox is like, "he can't be back! I beat him fair and square! And Val is like, "Yes, you did, and you will do it again. I mean, you only have been getting more powerful. Maybe we should teach this deer another lesson."

~~~

I rate it 7/10, even though I had a lot to say. I really did enjoy it!

MY REVIEW OF HAZBIN HOTEL EP 1!

~~~~

First thing off, I hate how the show just expects you to watch the pilot. Like the show feels like it made for viv fans who have been here from day one. Which is absolutely fine!

The thing is, the newer fans shouldn't have to feel stressed or overwhelmed trying to find out why episode 1 of hazbin Hotel didn't feel like episode 1! For example, if i got a doller for the number of people I saw post about the confusion they were feeling, I would probably be a millionaire.

So sadly, hazbin just feels like a show you have to do homework before watching it to find out what you are watching.

Okay, sorry for my rant 😅

~~~~

Summary of the episode:

Charlie gets a call from her dad to attend a meeting with the angels in his place. She does so, and we get to meet the two antagonists of the season, Adam and Lute. In the second plot of the episode, we follow Vaggie as she tries to flim a commercial of the hotel to surprise Charlie with.

----

My issues with the episode short formed:

● Bad pacing

● some thing should've been kept secret for another episode to explore it further

● And it being episode 1, but instead, it was treated as episode 2 because the writers expected you to watch the pilot

~~~

My issues with the episode long formed:

● the episode was doing too much for a 20-minute episode. It felt like it was trying to keep itself in a standard 2 plot episode but the writers got super excited for plot A (charlie part) that they try to speed up plot B (vaggie and the hotel crew part) to get back to plot A as soon as possible or they didn't understand how to go about the two parts without it becoming to boring for the fans watching.

● Some things should have been kept a secret. And which I mean, some of the things we introduced in episode 1 should've had it own episodes dedicated for that plot.

I would have it that charlie enters the meeting doors. We never see her again until the end of the episode. The rest of the episode just focuses on vaggie, the hotel, and the disaster they are causing to make the commercial. Then, after the last couple minutes of the episode have charlie walked in defeat and crash. Vaggie asks what is wrong and tries to comfort charlie, but Charlie's stays quiet on what happened during the meeting and instead goes to her room. And vaggie left there defeated as she held the camera that has the commercial everyone worked together to make.

● as I said in the beginning, this show is quite all over the place. For you truly know what is going on, you have to go on youtube, watch the pilot, then go back to Prime and watch the rest of the episodes.

~~~~

music for this episode:

I loved hell was forever! Like, I genuinely loved it so much!!!!!! If I choose a song to listen to again for the first time from Hazbin Hotel, I would choose hell was forever!

Happy day in hell, I'm sorry, but the song was okay. I didn't enjoy it that much, and if I were to rate the songs. This song would probably be one of the lasts. It just something about the song that just felt off about it.

~~~~~

Overall, I give this episode a 5.4/10! I would love what else people have to say as well!
