I got back into playing CRK about two weeks ago and now this game, yet again, has me in a death grip so I made a set of miscellaneous comics on cookierun.comic.studio using Incorrect Quotes that loosely fit one of my teams dynamics. _______________
I've finally finished Lavanya's (renamed Charlie) key information for her character sheet! And with it comes a bit of lore for what I have in store. __________ [FULL NAME & NICKNAME] ๐ LAVANYA MORNINGSTAR. ๐ PREFERS TO BE CALLED ANYA. ๐ With her first name meaning beauty and grace, Lucifer & Lilith thought it was the perfect name to give to their little princess. [D.O.B] ๐ BORN DECEMBER 31ST, 2002. ๐ Anya can't help but see her birthday as a bad omen due to having been born on the last day of the year when Hell's annual Extermination takes place. She'll put on a smile for her parents when in their presence but otherwise she'll be sulking in her room, silently wishing for the day to be over.
[AGE] ๐ BIOLOGICALLY 22. [SPECIES] ๐ HALF BAPHOMET DEMON (OTHER HALF UNKNOWN.)
[GENDER & SEX] ๐ FEMALE.
[SEXUALITY] ๐ BISEXUAL.
[SOCIAL STATUS] ๐ PRINCESS OF HELL.
[ROYAL EMBLEM] ๐ THE FORBIDDEN APPLE OF KNOWLEDGE. [IMMEDIATE FAMILY] ๐ LILITH MORNINGSTAR = MOM. ๐ LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR = DAD.
[EXTENDED FAMILY] ๐ 1 GRANDFATHER. ๐ 1 HALF UNCLE. ๐ 5 UNCLES & 3 AUNTS. ๐ 2 COUSINS. ๐ Anya's never met most of her extended family thanks to two main reasons. The first being that most of them are in Heaven and the second but more important reason is that most of them have been and STILL are missing with the exception of her aunt, Adina Delacroix, and her daughters, Raquel & Amariel. In the absence of Elohim, Jesus (yes, he's the half uncle), and the 7 Heavenly Virtues, Adina was selected as Heaven's de jure leader as she is the only angel who both birthed and mothered an Archangel's children.
[FRIENDS] ๐ ONLY 6. ๐ As Princess of Hell and heir to the throne, her parents made sure that their daughter understood that she had to be careful choosing her friends as thereโll always be people who just want to use her money and her status. Her parents' words would lead to Anya's very seldom way of thinking when it comes to making friends as she would make her very first friend in the 3rd Grade. Over the years sheโs amassed a tightly knit friend group consisting of six other demons excluding herself. Sometimes she jokes about them being the new Seven Deadly Sins.
[RELATIONSHIP STATUS] ๐ FORMERLY DATED LAZARUS VON ELDRITCH. ๐ CURRENTLY DATING VALORIS CARMINE. ๐ Going from dating a fellow aristocrat in Hellโs hierarchy to dating the daughter of an Overlord isnโt too much of a leap in logic but it is still a noticeable difference. Thanks to her parents not many people publicly commented on their daughterโs romantic life (lest they wish to be publicly executed or suffer true torture for the rest of their damned afterlife) though people have always wondered what caused the end of her and Lazarusโ relationship along with the beginning of Anyaโs relationship with Valoris. At the very least she seems to be happy with Valoris. [CORE PERSONALITY TRAITS] ๐ AMIABLE. ๐ AUTHENTIC. ๐ AUTOCRATIC (youโve gotta be a bit bossy if youโre going to be the future face of Hell.) ๐ CLUMSY. ๐ COMPASSIONATE. ๐ CREATIVE. ๐ DETERMINED. ๐ INDECISIVE. ๐ NAIVE. ๐ OPTIMISTIC. ๐ OVEREMOTIONAL. ๐ SCATTERBRAINED.
[CORE ASPIRATIONS] ๐ HAVING SINNERS ACHIEVE REDEMPTION AT THE HAPPY HOTEL. ๐ PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT SINNERโS CAN BE REDEEMED. ๐ DISCOVER MORE WAYS TO IMPROVE HELL. ๐ HELPING OTHERS TO THE BEST OF HER ABILITY. ๐ BEING A GOOD PARTNER. ๐ NOT BEING A FAILURE.
[FEARS] ๐ AUTOPHOBIA & KAKORRHAPHIOPHOBIA. ๐ Autophobia is the polarizing fear of being abandoned and alone. If one day, the majority of Hellโs denizens suddenly decided to turn their backs on Anya, she wouldnโt care as long as her friends and family remained at her side. However, if her friends and family had ALL abandoned her, not only would she genuinely have a full blown mental breakdown and sob for months, sheโd never be the same again. This does not bode well at all with her other biggest fear being Kakorrhaphiophobia which is the fear of failure. Anya does her best to follow the expectations set on her from her citizens, her parents, and even herself. So when she fails to meet this internal quota of hers, sheโll feel like shit but sheโll convince herself to do better in the future and focus on the Happy Hotel staff and its residents. [THOUGHTS ON HOTEL STAFF] ๐ FAIRLY POSITIVE. ๐ For the most part, Anya can see that everybody is trying their best to keep the hotel in business even if they donโt believe in the thought of redemption. She has faith in at least five out of her seven employees coming together to help her make the Hazbin Hotel work.
__________ I hope you guys liked reading Anya's character sheet and I'd like to know what character you'd like to see me write about next. I'll probably do this through a poll so keep your eyes peeled for that and I'll see you guys later!
Well, I didn't think that I would be making one of these again yet but here we are. Believe it or not a lot has happened since I made my last post in November of 2024 saying that rewriting HH or HB isn't worth it anymore but now that I've finally caught up on the rest of season #02 of HB, I've decided to redact that post I made back in early November of last year because the writers of Spindlehorse truly have proved to me that most of them never had a real grasp of media literacy to begin with. Now, I don't see myself as some brilliant writer who's on her way to becoming the next Shakespeare or some other arrogant BS like that but I know that without a single doubt in my mind, that I can write something better than the entirety of Helluva Boss Season #02 as well as everything I've seen from Hazbin Hotel. So I've decided that I will go back to rewriting HH & HB because I've realized that if the writers and creator at Spindlehorse can make their own characters look unrecognizable and derail who they were originally supposed to be/once were, that I have nothing to worry about as the worse that I'll be able to do is to make some lame ass fanfic to a show that already feels like an even worse fanfic of itself. TLDR: If Vivziepop and Spindlehorse can manage to make their own characters and narrative a million times worse then I'll just have to find a way to make it slightly better via rewrites.
With how they are now, I see no reason other than WLW/Yuri pandering as to how and why Charlie & Vaggie are still a couple. _______________________
Knowing how Hellaverse stans are, somebody is bound to accuse me of being a homophobe so let me clear some things up first. #01.) Not that it's really anyone's business but I'm a bi woman. #02.) I've been in a long term relationship with a woman before so I have personal experience on this. #03.) I'm well aware that people within the LGBT+ community can be homophobic whether they intend to or not however this is just an opinion on yet another poorly written relationship in the Hellaverse. #04.) If you're part of the LGBT+ community and you like the show or love it then good on you, dude. I still adore the Hazbin Hotel Pilot and enjoy most of Season #01 of Helluva Boss too.
With that all out of the way, FallenPrincess (Chaggie is a terrible ship name) isn't a good ship as it lacks so much chemistry that about half of Hazbin Hotel's new fans genuinely believed them to be friends until Episode #06 of Season #01 which is just two episodes shy of the finale. Mind you, it's not that Charlie & Vaggie didn't use pet names with each other throughout the season but the problem is that the pet names that they use for each other are generic. When Charlie isn't calling Vaggie by her name she calls her babe and when Vaggie isn't calling Charlie by her name she calls her either babe or hon. Both of these pet names can be applied to close friends and I know that sounds like a lie but it isn't as I've seen videos of straight people casually calling their other friends babe or honey. Hell, I've called my best friends babe before! So I can understand why some fans of the show would be confused when they realize that Charlie and Vaggie were not only dating the entire time but that they also had been dating for 3 YEARS. As someone who dated a girl for OVER 3 years they were written like they had only been dating for a year tops. Most of their screen time as a couple shows us that their top love languages are words of affirmation (i.e reassuring or attempting to reassure the other that everything is going to be alright) and physical contact which SOUNDS cute until you realize that... A.) They're normally reassuring each other about the same shit as they did the episode prior (with this being about Charlie's concerns regarding Heaven, the angels, and the Extermination.) B.) They don't interact with each other as much as you'd think/expect from the main couple of the series. C.) Further elaborating on point B, they probably have around 13 - 15 minutes of screen time where they're speaking directly to one another. D.) Vaggie is a character who solely exists to act as a cheerleader for Charlie as HH has not gone out of its way to show Vaggie caring about/for something else that isn't tied to Charlie and her dreams. I don't need Charlie & Vaggie to make sex jokes 24/7 and raunchy flirting like Viv has her gay male characters do. I just want to get to know what they do during their downtime when they don't have to worry about the hotel or about Heaven, when they could and should just be Charlie & Vaggie. When I was an avid fan of Hazbin Hotel fan during it's Pilot days I'd often imagine possible dates they'd go on like Charlie convincing Vaggie to go see a new musical together or Vaggie making Charlie a traditional Slavadoran dinner and excitedly telling her GF about how she made it and what went into it. Ironically, they had more chemistry in the Hazbin Hotel Pilot where Viv had ultimately decided to make FallenPrincess a canon couple at the last minute.
As shown in her intro card, Vaggie was originally going to be Charlie's best friend which would've made the most sense regarding the little bit of character we do know about Vaggie but I digress. Honestly, Viv probably can't attempt to even break up of FallenPrincess thanks to them being a major ship in the fandom (aka primary selling point) and because they are the ONLY MAIN GL/WLW RELATIONSHIP THAT THE HELLAVERSE HAS so if she does break them up she'll only make herself look EVEN MORE like a massive hypocritical fujoshi otaku (which means a woman who is obsessed with the BL/Yaoi genre) while also loosing out on making more money from her FallenPrincess fans.
_______________________
I meant to get this out before Valentine's Day was over except I ended up getting back into playing CRK during that time so here I am releasing this now.
I'm not a Charlastor shipper myself and I get that there's a good amount of people who don't ship Alastor at all since he's AroAce and there's not a lot of AroAce representation within the media, however, if you're going to have the stand of, "So and so can't be shipped with this character because they're AroAce," then I need you to have that same energy with every other fictional character's canon sexuality cause if you ONLY do this with AroAce character's, you're a huge hypocrite.
Apology Tour completely dismantles the very thought of Stolitz ever being a remotely healthy relationship once they actually become canon on account of AT proving that Stolas doesn't truly love Blitzรธ for who he is but rather the idealized version of him that Stolas created within his own head and could be replaced by anyone who's willing to take/play Stolas' idealized role of a partner. __________
As much as I hate Full Moon for wasting so much of the audiences time, it did give us that scene where Blitzรธ was finally sick of Stolas' shit and told him off for it. However, since it's HB the show immediately tries to run damage control in it's next episode, Apology Tour. This is not only another episode that I despise but it's also the one that solidified my hatred for Stolas and his character. In the beginning of Apology Tour, Stolas bitches and moans over how Blitzรธ is still making their "relationship" about sex when, news flash, it's ALWAYS been about sex because you, Stolas, have kept it that way to the point where your victim feels like he has to sleep with you in order to DESERVE to keep his OWN BUSINESS RUNNING!
And Blitzรธ isn't wrong! Their "relationship" has always been, as Blitzรธ worded it back in Season #01 of HB, "a transactional fucking." Why would he see it as anything different when that's how its always been? Now, how does Stolas reply to this?
Honestly, this IS very shocking Stolas as I believe this might be the first time where you and Blitzรธ have interacted with one another where you're not blatantly sexualizing or romanticizing him on screen! After this he says that Blitzรธ should respect the fact that he isn't in the mood to sleep with or even speak to him right now. Mind you, whenever Blitzรธ has told Stolas in the past that he isn't in the mood to sleep with him or be flirted with, Stolas has respected that notion ONE TIME which was after the fiasco at Ozzie's back from Season #01. Otherwise, Stolas hasn't respected his boundaries for shit. Boundaries are important but you two aren't in a real relationship and even if you were respect is still a two way street. If you command respect from someone you choose to CONTINUE to disrespect on a CONSTANT/CONSISTENT basis then why the hell should they respect you? If it wasn't for his book, Blitzรธ wouldn't have any incentive to cross paths with Stolas at all.
Anyway, literal seconds later, Stolas tells Blitzo how he got invited to an annual anti-Blitzรธ party and comments on how he's above such silly nonsense only for him to quickly change his tune upon seeing Blitzรธ's annoyed and enraged reaction to seeing that Verosika is behind this petty pity party.
This starts a back and forth with Stolas demanding that Blitzรธ leaves. This results in Blitzรธ, yet again, reinstating on what their relationship truly is and how Stolas fetishizes him which discomforts Stolas because deep down he knows what Blitzรธ is saying is true.
Now, I won't get into the conversation that takes place after this comment as the critical side of the Helluva Boss fandom on Tumblr has already (rightfully) torn it to shreds. So instead, I'll save us all some time by simply skipping ahead to when Stolas is at the party after that Incubus guy (that rabbid Stolitz shippers hate) asks him if he wants to dance and why I despise that entire scene.
We see that Blitzรธ is uncomfortable with this and Stolas KNOWS that he's uncomfortable with this random guy asking Stolas to dance with him as Stolas made DIRECT EYE CONTACT with Blitzรธ! Now, Blitzรธ does effectively advise that Stolas take up the Incubus' offer with a hand gesture HOWEVER for Stolas to claim that he's always been in love with Blitzรธ and that he has eyes for him and him alone only to later MAKE OUT WITH A STRANGER just proves and validates Blitzรธ's feelings that you don't actually love or care about him! And moments before this scene Stolas says this.
THEN GO AND FIND THAT PERSON AS LITERALLY ANYBODY CAN DO THAT! YOU DO NOT LOVE BLITZร, YOU MERELY LOVE THE CONCEPT OF BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM BECAUSE TO YOU, YOU SEE HIM AS A "CHILDHOOD FRIEND" WHEN IN REALITY YOU KNEW HIM AND HUNG AROUND HIM FOR ONE DAY SINCE YOUR FATHER BOUGHT HIM TO BE YOUR PLAYMATE FOR A SINGLE DAY! ... *Ahem.* In conclusion, there's no amount of future retconning that Viv and Spindlehorse can do to successfully make Stolitz appear as a genuinely healthy ship without trashing the entirety of Apology Tour but even that would create/introduce an entire new set of problems. __________
Man, I've been wanting to get this one off my chest for a while as I haven't seen many people bring up these scenes from AT when discussing how and why Stolas doesn't love Blitzรธ. I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts this time around and I'll see you later!
Nah, cause why do these background character designs genuinely look better than Hazbin Hotel's main cast? I swear, I'm probably gonna make a few of them into actual characters for the HH rewrite I have planned. Especially you, Siren Overlord Lady.
hazbin hotelโs background character designs appreciation post
Not too long ago I reblogged a post that involved some of the background characters in Hazbin Hotel because there's a few that I'd like to make into actual characters as they have potential to be something cool. Well, I finished the key information for what I came up with for the Siren Overlord and I'd like to share it! ________ [APPEARANCE]
[CURRENT NAME] ๐ SCYLLA. ๐ She hadn't chosen a new name for herself until after she had been in Hell for about 4 years as that's when she became an Overlord.
[FORMER NAME] ๐ TANASHIRI DATUMOLOK. ๐ Her first name means Sacred Lotus while her surname essentially means Natural Born Leader.
[D.O.B + D.O.D] ๐ BORN JUNE 27TH, 1720. ๐ DIED AUGUST 27TH, 1756. [AGE] ๐ BIOLOGICALLY 36. ๐ CHRONOLOGICALLY 304.
[GENDER & SEX] ๐ FEMALE.
[ETHNICITY & NATIONALITY] ๐ A FILIPINA WHO LIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES. ๐ She never left the motherland until her passing forced her to.
[SOCIAL STATUS] ๐ OVERLORD. ๐ I'm still having her be a current Overlord in my rewrite cause I'm a sucker for her design. [OVERLORD SYMBOL/SIGNAL] ๐ A LOTUS FLOWER. ๐ This is both a reference to her original name along with being another reference to the Odyssey.
[CRIMES COMMITTED IN LIFE FROM LEAST OFFENSIVE TO MOST OFFENSIVE] ๐ THEFT. ๐ B&E (Breaking and Entering.) ๐ TRAFFICKING OF ILLEGAL & STOLEN GOODS (Specifically treasures belonging to rich or wealthy conquistadors.) ๐ESPIONAGE. ๐ AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. ๐ KIDNAPPING. ๐ TORTURE. ๐ MURDER. [SINS COMMITTED IN LIFE FROM LEAST TO GREATEST] ๐ PRIDE ๐ GREED ๐ WRATH ๐ ENVY [OVERLORD PROFESSION/THEME] ๐ PRIDE'S #01 KILLING BUSINESS. ๐ Ranging from run of the mill hitmen to top tier assassins, Scylla's got a wide selection of killers ready to get their hands dirty instead of yours! As long as the price is right (and you actually have the money), simply provide the target's name, time, and location so your killer knows when and where to be. And if you have something sick and twisted in mind, you can customize how your killer handles the process whether it be a specific murder plan to follow through or a more devious torture method before your target breathes their final breath! However, keep in mind that customization does cost extra.
[HOW SHE SECURED HER CONTRACTS] ๐ PRIMARILY DUE TO DESPERATION. ๐ Unlike many Overlords who fool demons into signing away their souls with false promises or clever wordplay, the demons that go to Scylla tend do so out of necessity. The majority of her vast catalog of killers were once demons who were either jobless or homeless. With nowhere else to go, they turned to her as a last resort to, financially, get their lives back on track. Her soul contracts offer good perks to the contractor as they get free healthcare should they get injured on the job, if they're homeless when signing their contract they're able to live in company's apartment complex until they get back on their feet, contractors only work four days out of the week, receive a bi-weekly income, etc.
[TERRITORY NAME] ๐ ANG LUNGSOD NG SALUNGOS. ๐ English Translation = The City of Urchins.
[CORE PERSONALITY TRAITS] ๐ ADEPT. ๐ ALERT. ๐ AMBITIOUS (I feel like this is just a mandatory trait in order for a demon to become an Overlord.) ๐ ANTIPATHETIC. ๐ DARING. ๐ DILIGENT. ๐ PERSPICACIOUS. ๐ RECLUSIVE. ๐ RESOURCEFUL. ๐ SELFISH. ๐ SLY. ๐ TENACIOUS. ๐ THANKFUL. [RELATIONS TO OTHER OVERLORDS] ๐ BARELY ANY. ๐ She has little to no relations to any of the current Overlords on account of only appearing for mandatory/urgent meetings; the last of which happened back in The Great Depression. The Overlord she knows of and has spoken to the most is Zestial as the old(er) bastard has somehow managed to stick around. She's spoken to Rosie twice and has spoken to Alastor all of one time. What she knows about the current Overlords is through social media and whatever intel Zestial has to offer her but other than that she doesn't know them anywhere near on a personal level and vice versa which is exactly how she wants things to be.
________ I had a lot of fun creating Scylla's character (minus her design of course that credit goes to and belongs to Spindlehorse) sheet and I can't wait to share more stuff like this in the future! Thank you for reading and bye for now everyone!
I think that C.H.E.R.U.B. could work as a good foil to I.M.P. but the show (like everything else) utilized them in the wrong way. I actually liked their debut episode and how it played out although if there's one thing that I'd change about it, it would be not having Cletus, Collin, and Keenie get kicked out of Heaven. I'd do this for four reasons. #01.) The team would still want to get even with I.M.P. whether they got kicked out of Heaven or not. We know this because when they initially attempted to go home, Cletus threatened them by saying, "This isn't over," alluding to the fact that we would've seen them again regardless. #02.) Rather than having C.H.E.R.U.B. appear in random episodes (looking at you Season 2) they could appear as proper competitors to I.M.P. going forward with us not only getting to gradually see more members of C.H.E.R.U.B. but also develop a better understanding with how Heaven works, how they treat their Heaven born citizens, and possibly foreshadow how corrupt Heaven is since that's the angle Hazbin Hotel is going for. #03.) Cherubs are literally Heaven's equivalent to Imps. While they wouldn't fully understand how or why the members of I.M.P. are so messed up on account of not being demons themselves, they could, to an extent, empathize with how the members of I.M.P. are mistreated by higher classes. Like, imagine having an episode where both companies are competing over another human being but unlike their previous encounters, I.M.P. hasn't been landing as many deals lately meaning that both business and money have been tight. Naturally, they'd want to secure as many hits as possible and would be pissed to see that C.H.E.R.U.B. is here AGAIN to interfere with their business. Throughout the episode it'd be a close call, though I'd have C.H.E.R.U.B. win in the end so that I'd have someone like Blitzo say, "Oh, look at you! I bet you guys feel real proud for messing with our incomes, huh?" And one of the Cherub's could say something to the extent of, "Incomes? Wait, you guys don't just do this for fun???" Then have it be revealed that the Cherub's genuinely believed that I.M.P.'s business solely existed for some sick and twisted pleasure when in actuality, it was to preserve their livelihoods in Hell. After conversing about it a bit more, I'd have the members of C.H.E.R.U.B. talk among themselves before deciding that, "Y'know, we've done our part. So we're gonna leave but IF something WERE to happen once we've left then there'd be nothing we could do about it." Effectively, letting I.M.P. secure their hit since C.H.E.R.U.B.'s job is done as well as have plausible deniability if any one of their higher ups ask, "Hey, what the hell happened to this guy that you saved?"
#04.) My final point, is that their organization thematically clashes with what I.M.P. aims to do perfectly. I.M.P. wants to kill humans in the living world whereas C.H.E.R.U.B. wants to save them ensuring they live their human lives to the fullest and bidding farewell when they're ready to go. It's simplistic yet effective. Sorry for the long read, I usually go into depth with my opinions. Also, side note, does anyone actually know what the hell C.H.E.R.U.B.'s acronym stands for??? This has bothered me since their debut episode because I'm pretty sure we've never been told what it means.
Pilot Alastor will forever be the superior version of Alastor from his charming Transatlantic and radio filtered yapping to the way he carried himself and was never power hungry.
I'm kinda pissed about Alastorโฆ like he turned out to be a major disappointment for me for a number of reasons. The pilot had promise for him to be quirky and silly which happened to have a darker side to him; and he could have been a mannered but not snarky character- but instead we get another snark fest character like the rest of the cast. Seriously? How many characters does Viv have that aren't โwittyโ (oh that's generous) and sarcastic all the fucking time?
I bring you another set of CRK Crack Comics because I (for some reason) was given free will. ____________
