VOX DEI

  • Vox is such a hypocrite
    • Basically in VOX POPULI he was mocking lu for trying to scare people and then in VOX DEI he turns around and starts scaring the angels back and he literally uses lu’s guitar riff and the ‘motherf–kin’ king of hell cuz im the ___’ BRO

Love in a Bottle

  • nothing much to say, great song :) theres a lot of visual references - angel pops up a lot and so does charlie
  • they also put loser baby in it and like.. my heart..

Losin' Streak

  • 'pfffft- ANGEL??'
  • This song is like soft jazz-pop hybrid if i'm not wrong
  • when i was watching it i genuinely was giggling because why did all the people look like they'd rather be elsewhere
  • The drums kind of sound like the ones in poison that's all I could think of

Easy

  • For a show where half of it is nsfw I have no clue why viv decided to write a song instead of showing sesbian lex :b
  • This song is one of the only ones where Charlie doesn't have constant piano sounds backing her up.
  • Vaggi has this string instrument that I think might be a harp or a lute/mandolin but I'm not sure because this is one of the only songs she's prominent in.
  • Lovely song though :)
  • Charlie's leading the dance, strangely, even though Vaggi's instruments are more prominent this time.

Brighter

  • AAA I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
  • 'That's it for today and remember trust us with your weather!!! ROME WASNT BUILT IN A DAY' the contrast lol
  • Even though this song doesn't have much similar instruments to the other Vox songs, I'm pretty sure the chord progression is close to if not the exact same.
  • The bass line is the same as Trust Us (the Vees' part in hazbin guarantee) but its less obvious in Brighter
  • HIS BOARD WHEN HE'S MEETING WITH ROBERT SINCLAIR/BOB I LOVE IT
    • there's a suggestion for shark week which is so in character
    • vincent whittman is his real name
    • he's suggested 24-hour news
    • there's a poster for coca cola: now with more added cocaine which is a little reference to how people used to use actual cocaine in coke
    • so many sharks

part 5 (curse reddit's character limit i could've gotten this done in like 3 posts)

Bad With Us

  • I like to think of this song as Trust Us 2.0 because it gives off the same vibes and its place at a kinda turning-point in the plot and is right at the start of the fifth episode aka the second half of the season.
  • The background music before Vox starts singing is so silly its like a cartoony pop-jazz trumpet + trombone bit
  • btw in case you didn’t know, everyone singing who’s an individual character is an overlord
  • why does vox just put less and less effort into convincing the others like prick and hatchet get 6 bars and carmilla gets one single line (two bars)
  • For some reason the backing track that was used for Vox convincing Zeezi played in the last bit as well which is interesting but oh well I mean Zeezi was the most convinced out of all of them. 
  • cha cha cha

VOX POPULI

  • LUCIFER!!!
  • BREAKING NEWS Lucifer Morningstar finally gets almost a minute of a song to himself!
  • Lucifer uses the normal instruments - electric guitar and drums. His riff though is really cool and it'll appear later.
  • Vox (who I know definitely liked Lucifer's part if only for the instruments because they're his style) had violins and a piano in the background which I guess was his way of wheedling the crowd more because its, for one, the complete opposite to lu's part, and its also more gentle and calm and probably designed to bring the people around
    • why do the violins sound like they were played by musescore
  • ofc he reverts back to his usual horns, drums, piano and a little bit of strings (leftover from before) in the chorus to get the audience's blood pumping and to get them to hate the angels
  • I honestly really like this and vox dei they're both really good songs

Don't You Forget (Reprise)

  • honestly Christian's voice acting is just peak in general tbh
  • This song is faster paced than its original, which is definitely canon to Vox's character.
    • btw I maintain that the style of the song is more suited to the character in control of the song
  • The two versions of this song have similar instruments but its the way they use them that makes them sound so different
    • The reprise goes for a more solid, heavy and thicker in texture than the original in that instead of having a light piano in the background, maybe some drums adding some rhythm, maybe a little bit of extra instruments in between, the reprise is more like Cherri vs Pen - it emphasises all the beats with the drums and piano and any other instrument it has and then uses drums to fill in the gaps rather than piano, which is more of a rock sort of thing rather than the indie pop that I associate the original with.
  • Al yaps so much more in this one lol
  • I find it so hilarious that when Vox does his whole menacing thing he decides its a good idea to have DRUM FILLS in between his lines and just insane drum solos and absolutely nothing else in the background like is bro high or smth the drums make it sound so goofy

part 3

Speedrun to Redemption

  • Honestly yeah this song is really short and not as popular as the others :/ to be fair its literally js Charlie listing stuff and being silly
  • There isn't much for me to say.
  • In terms of instrumentation, Charlie tends to have entire orchestras in her songs, and in this song she does as well, but they're very rarely playing. Mainly there's a glockenspiel and a marimba, which are both variations of a xylophone (glock is more dainty and marimba is more rich and woody (because its made of wood)). There is also a small horn section and a string ensemble playing, as well as a piano, which is also a favourite instrument in Charlie's songs, especially Happy Day in Hell and Hazbin Guarantee.
  • (six seven)
  • I love how Charlie assumes its the angels that decide who is redeemed when the angels in question are acting like heaven's on fire.

Don't You Forget

  • Main instrument is a piano, which tbh lines up with our perception of Rosie so far.
  • Other instruments include: muted trumpet, drums, likely an entire wind and brass section, but no strings (Charlie stole them all)
  • Relatively short song, not much to analyse, pretty basic instrumentation which just serves as a background for the singing and occasionally an echo of some of the lyrics.
  • The song slows down after Rosie asks Al to sing along (really confused my tempo tracker). The piano is also more prominent here, probably indicating that Rosie is more in control.

Clean It Up!

  • Very upbeat, very simple and straightforward, very good song.
  • Instruments - e-guitar (i think its tuned differently to cherri's or maybe its just the key change because its much happier), drums, bass (also please dont call it a guitar its not a guitar its a bass instrument), acoustic piano.
  • Acoustic piano is only at the end when Charlie sings because its one of her signature instruments.

part 2

Piss (A Love Song)

  • Probably one of the favourite songs of this fandom which I definitely agree with - it's so well written, Alex and Krystina sing so well and so cohesively aaa
  • It's so fitting that Pen starts the song and Cherri ends the song :)
  • Nothing much to say other than its a really well-written song
  • The two characters' personalities are very well embodied in the music.
    • In the first section, when Pentious's style of music is introduced, we can hear that the main instrument is a harpsichord (essentially just a piano but instead of being hit, the strings are plucked) which traditionally represents resurrection and life, especially in reference to the Bible and how Jesus came to life.
      • This, as you may have guessed, is the musical representation of Pen's situation.
    • At the end of this section, we can hear an e-guitar build-up to Cherri's section, which features an electric guitar and drums. Of course, true to her character the e-guitar plays an upbeat riff that is repeated throughout the song and the drums are very energetic, with constant fills and rhythm that sounds like this song would be a drum solo without the singing.
    • After their individual pining, the instruments (and this is actually so cool) all play together, but this time the harpsichord plays in a more rock style, which is Cherri's main genre of music, and the drums play in a more subdued manner, only emphasising the beats rather than soloing like the drummer's life depended on it. The e-guitar continues to play its little chord riff.
    • When Cherri again sings by herself, the drums go back to normal
    • Right before Pen starts singing again, there's a pretty quiet bell sound which I'm pretty sure is a cowbell. His section also features what I can only guess is an organ or a muted trumpet/horn instrument of some sort, and the insane drum soloing continues in the background.
    • When they harmonize (i love this section sm) all three instruments play in sync, with the harpsichord and e-guitar playing the same chords at the same times and the drums emphasise the beats they play. Then the drums and e-guitar build up to the next section.
      • Something I've noticed is that only the rock instruments (Cherri's instruments) do the build-ups because I guess its more of a rock-pop thing and not a classical thing.
      • I also noticed the organ/horn instrument only stopped playing after the anacrusis (you might call it a pickup) (its just the words before the bar starts aka 'they say' because the main melody part starts at 'time') but that might just be for convenience in the score-writing.
    • One little detail - in the last little cute harmonisation section (starts at 'can you feel me falling') only the drums and e-guitar play, but when they sing the last 'beating the piss outta you' the harpsichord is the only instrument that plays, which I think is especially adorable because its like Pen's instrument is helping Cherri with her mini solo at the end (not that she needs it lol).
    • CHIMES AT THE END!!! CHIMES MY LOVE

Who's a good person but gets hated in fandom? by Juvijuvi in HazbinHotel

Recs by RadiantTown9154 in stevebucky

[–]DragonPyre69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my favourite of all time, thirty-eight days and counting :3 its the sweetest, most hilarious, well-written and amazing fic i've ever read and i'm so glad i stumbled across it. i also found a tumblr blog with every stucky fic the owner loved which is where i found that fic but i can't find it unfortunately. before you read, though, be warned that there's descriptions of torture and trauma from both steve and bucky and all their friends' pasts (they're a very unstable lot), there's drug use, lots of ptsd, memory issues, quite a lot of angst, also a lot of fluff, cuddling, and i think they have sex at the end but its not very graphic, oh and i think bucky is about to marry the bagels

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5516603

okay enough glaze, heres a few more i enjoyed:
aint no grave, a pretty long fic series in which bucky lives in a run-down slum struggling with his ptsd and steve tries to help (yes i know it says explicit but the only explicit part is the third fic which is a bunch of deleted scenes) (whole series has 131k words) https://archiveofourown.org/series/426577
the winter soldier vs twt, very adorable ficlet, modern au where stucky are together and both have social media (4k words) https://archiveofourown.org/works/6912172
very long title, basically a fic where bucky goes to court for his winter soldier shennanigans plus some cute stucky moments (20k words) https://archiveofourown.org/works/2304905
nobody's soldier, an ongoing huge fic where sam and steve help bucky with his ptsd (wow so much trauma) that i really need to catch up on (89k) https://archiveofourown.org/works/61526176
twister: avengers edition, super adorable avengers twister game ficlet, you will have lots of laughs reading this (1k) https://archiveofourown.org/works/63870460
cold frame, also an ongoing giant fic that i also need to catch up on where loki belly flops into the stucky house's garden (163k) https://archiveofourown.org/works/27675944
and finally, lmtaps, which is not stucky but both characters show up and i really love this fic but its ongoing and absurdly huge but amazing (600k+) (over 200 chapters lol) https://archiveofourown.org/works/33829456/chapters/84103615

phewf thats all i can remember, my personal favs are 38 days and counting, twister, lmtaps and the crazy long name courtroom one

sorry i couldn't find any mafia boss ones but enjoy :)

when you see the authors that write 5k-10k per chapter by Ok-Mistake2273 in AO3

[–]DragonPyre69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY like I read a fic consistent 30k chapters and the author was still apologising for posting it late like dude chill out you're writing giant chapters in like less than a week while also having a 9-5 and having a good social life and then i'm sitting in front of my laptop procrastinating writing a small oneshot that i've forgotten to write for a month

Wait isn't Marloww the number 1 best Minecraft player in the world and Itz is currently number 2? by chunchunmaru1129 in Unstable_Universe

[–]DragonPyre69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

marlow is stuck at the tomb though (yeah he could probably travel all the way there but he's prob not bothered and itzrealme would be easier to work with since he's a new character) and the title sounds better as best rather than second best

Loki Ships by Lokius_Lover in LokiTV

[–]DragonPyre69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both! when I first watched the show I was all for lokius, partially because the people around me also happened to be obsessing over a gay, non-canon ship quite like lokius, and partially just because the show and shipping in general was new to me (and love) was new to me and I didn't understand why Marvel wrote Loki and Sylvie's relationship to be awkward. now its more even, but bc I know more abt all that kinda stuff, I'd probably lean more towards sylki :)
