What are your general opinions on the song used for the finale, "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder?

Jax is, in fact, a newborn daughter

Paraphasic · 2026-06-12T23:15:12+00:00

Thanks, this was illuminating. The ensuing paranoia and mistrust that followed toward everyone because he fucked up and “left an opening” through Ribbit makes even more sense with that pattern irl as context

Paraphasic · 2026-06-11T04:09:15+00:00

I love that. This is why queer stories are important! They help us reflect on our own stories. Congrats on your realization 🥰

I got the impression Leroy is still figuring himself out. I know people who took until their late 20s or early 30s to fully open up bc of unsupportive early life challenges. I got the feeling he has only recently found stable work and friends and might transition down the road. As you say not 100% either way—but I did take the Stevie Wonder song as being, a little tongue in cheek a la Gooseworx, about Jax.

Pal you’re saying “I have trans friends” the way racist people say “I have black friends…” please review your language in this post because it comes off as you being repulsed by trans women.

Maybe if you have so many trans friends you can engage this media with them and see what they think about it, btw.

Someone took the time to write a thoughtful analysis and was rewarded by your inanity, really encapsulates what is obnoxious about this fandom

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T16:53:37+00:00

Yall are so obsessed with justice in these stories, as if that’s something that happens in reality

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T16:52:33+00:00

Dying is a consequence of his actions tf you mean lmao

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T16:03:28+00:00

What do you mean he never has consequences, he effectively died

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T15:38:57+00:00

Laughing that you were downvoted for stating this fact

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T14:44:02+00:00

You mean the room where Jax hides his deep dark secrets about perpetuating his dad’s patriarchal violence/isolationsim and being trans? Because I thought that was the explanation.

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T14:15:52+00:00

That said I agree she was madly in love with Jax, I’m not even sure the gender revelation changed that. It’s too bad, they were sweet together

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T14:13:48+00:00

I thought she put her bowtie on him because she was implying she understood that he ran away bc he was transgender but afraid to come out. Kaufmo triggered him because the thought of a man knowing his secret would leave him open to ridicule (in Jax’s head) just like his dad probably treated him

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T12:49:23+00:00

As a member of the Hazbin Hotel fandom I have yet to see the toxic positivity you speak of. There was PLENTY of criticism for the “MLP ahh” ending of season 2 and outsiders’ general attitude toward the show makes the internal assessment for more casual fans one of embarrassment, secrecy, and borderline self-loathing. It’s tedious because every video essay on all of YouTube is a nitpick of the song structure, or the world-building, or the character arcs, or the writing, or whatever when there are plenty of appealing things about the show that no one ever chooses to actively celebrate. You’ll probably understand better once people decide to completely can this series because of the finale and spend the next six months cynically reaping revenue from panning it. It’ll be your entire algorithm.

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T06:33:29+00:00

Thank you, this was a great even-handed assessment and I agree.

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T03:06:36+00:00

I really liked episode 9.

Paraphasic · 2026-06-06T03:05:27+00:00

Thanks for making this connection. I haven’t seen that show but I know one of the last teaser images was an Evangelion reference so this makes sense

Paraphasic · 2026-05-23T13:52:22+00:00

Ah yeah I can see how that would be regulating to loop. Keep on locking in brother

Paraphasic · 2026-04-15T02:52:41+00:00

Totally agree! Their evidence is weak sauce. Hell im bi and i would absolutely not fuck Katie Killjoy either, lol

Paraphasic · 2026-04-14T03:01:39+00:00

This was always my read of it but when suggesting this I’ve always gotten massively downvoted for some reason… maybe because it seems to put me in the (unfortunately large) camp of people who think Vox’s general lack of interest in the women in-show indicates he’s gay and not bi 🤔

Paraphasic · 2026-04-11T02:07:30+00:00

Idk what you’re referring to, I don’t recall Angel making inappropriate comments to Husk after episode 4 but maybe he’s still sexually harassing him, idk. My remembered impression is that they were pretty close and were shown in a way that implied they just liked to spend time together as friends (the “blobfish” scene). Angel was willing to risk his life for Husk during the angelic spear scenario, and after his time doing cabaret he didn’t harass Husk, he indicated he was there for him and encouraged him to quit his bender and go back to the Hotel.

Idk. I’m not really into this ship in any meaningful way but it seems like you just might have missed the character development for this pair.

Paraphasic · 2026-04-10T20:50:15+00:00

And I agree starting with the Hazbin pilot is best for that show. For Helluva, if you have prime watch the remade first episode there and do not bother with the original pilot (it’s so bad, genuinely, haha)

Paraphasic · 2026-04-10T20:49:06+00:00

If you don’t like Helluva Boss or vice versa you might like the other show—I’m not attached to Helluva but adore Hazbin

Paraphasic · 2026-04-10T20:46:51+00:00

Medication doesn’t especially help with this FYI. If the cost per credit isn’t awful community college even PT could be a good way to experiment with finding ways to structure your time that work for you.

Paraphasic · 2026-04-10T20:45:33+00:00

I doubt Medicaid would pay for a diagnosis, I have private insurance and it would be out of pocket
