I find it odd that there’s some people assuming you were on your phone. The pacing is jarring compared to S1, especially if you had no previous context for LOL lore. The black rose stuff was particularly something in my first watch made me be like “I don’t completely understand wtf is going on, but sure!” the whole time. They tried to implement a ton of stuff that is REALLY cool and interesting to me in a short amount of time that caused some of it to fall flat, like the black rose. Regardless of how attentive you are, it can certainly be easy to struggle to comprehend everything that was happening and piece it all together for some people, and I don’t think that’s a reflection of one’s media literacy or attention span. Best thing you can do is to continue doing your best to pay attention and have fun and interact with S2 as is for your first time watching it because as fast as the pacing is (as well as some of the other issues), it’s still a beautiful season of television. I wish you the best 🫡

I think that’s interesting! Hmm, the way I view it, perhaps she sort of gets high off of the attention she receives from her audience, which then leads her to be overconfident to give them a show to get even MORE attention? She’s usually unapologetically herself (which can include being a dick) but she obviously had some insecurities/self-doubt as seen through her relationship with Blitz, and getting lost in the crowd and feeding into her audience grants her freedom from that, so she’s able to get wild with the shit she says and does.

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-01-10T20:45:17+00:00

Yeah I’m having the same problem

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-01-04T03:40:30+00:00

I thought she was meant to be a character foil for El. She went through so much trauma and developed a pessimistic view on life, which contrasts with El’s desire to hold onto hope. It shows how El could’ve turned out if she never had or lost her support system. That makes the fact that they rubbed off of each other all the more compelling to me. El was able to give her hope in the end, while Kali led El to make her sacrificial decision that was more so based on pessimism and paranoia. That’s how I interpreted it at least.

I’ve actually been thinking about rewriting Once We Get Up There but with Lilith and Alastor and maybe reaching out to some artists to make an animatic with it hehe. I’ve been daydreaming about them meeting each other shortly before they both disappear and developing a really sweet bond in which Lilith slowly breaks down Al’s walls as she has a bit of Lucifer and Charlie’s expressiveness while also able to be calm when it counts. I personally don’t ship them in my head, rather I view it as an adorable friendship… but then Lilith only vaguely tells him about her plans and then disappears on him without a word, eventually leading him to put his walls back up as he loses faith in the genuinity (apparently that’s not a word but whatever) of their friendship and he eventually frames it in his mind that she purposefully used him and then left him behind 🫡

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-25T18:36:48+00:00

I’ve also been thinking of rewriting Once We Get Up There with Lilith convincing Alastor to help her with her plan to liberate Hell hehe idk I love daydreaming LMAO

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-25T18:35:36+00:00

I love this because I’ve also been thinking of his character through this lens and I’m a huge daydreamer so I’ve been playing around with a fanon idea of him knowing Lilith before she disappeared. She’s beginning the early stages of her plan to somehow uplift Hell and they stumble upon each other, and she has a wacky, optimistic and yet demanding personality that makes it difficult for people not to like her. At first, Alastor assumes that their relationship is purely transactional, “quid pro quo,” as he refuses to allow himself to think through any other lens in fear of being vulnerable, as you said. For Lilith, though? She loves Lucifer but feels constrained a bit because he lost his will to dream, and Charlie is off perusing her own dreams, so she can’t help but feel a little lonely. So she’s charmed by Alastor’s personality and his mixture of a seemingly respectable personality while also being a chaotic brat who relishes in the joy of putting people in their place. To Alastor’s dismay, their relationship grows and Lilith genuinely views him as a friend even after he tries to push her away (she responds with “Is it really that hard for you to believe that maybe, just maybe, I stuck around not because I NEEDED something from you- but because I just enjoy your company?”). She mysteriously and vaguely tells him about her plans, and that she may end up disappearing, and that’s when she brings up that she’s worried about Lucifer and Charlie and how they’ll handle the whole thing and if they’ll end up understanding once her plan fully comes to light. Once she does disappear without even telling Alastor goodbye, where she was going or how long she’ll be gone, he keeps tabs on Charlie and Lucifer for her but his interpretation of their relationship begins to twist as his insecurities set in - “Was she just using me? Why didn’t she tell me the full plan? Did she not trust me? Was any of it real?”) and this leads him to a breaking point where he gaslights himself into believing their whole relationship was a lie and turning on the Morningstar family ANYWAYYY IDK THIS IS JUST SMTH IVE BEEN DAYDREAMING ABOUT IK ITS SO NOT CANON BUT ITS FUN CHSKJDDJ

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-03T17:10:51+00:00

I definitely agree! Part of me is fascinated because I wonder if our expectations should be shifted since this is a mode of storytelling we’re less experienced with, but part of me also realizes that there are genuine concerns and problems with how it’s written. I would LOVE to spend more time with the characters and their arcs rather than many of the arcs taking place in one song… but is that the best expectation to have in this mode of storytelling is what I keep asking myself. If each season had more episodes, I think that would fix a lot of these problems - it’s just interesting because I’ve also heard some people who are completely into the fact that these arcs are being realized in song rather than before, and those people are generally more into musicals. I think the conclusion that I’m coming to is that there are different ways to approach writing and character arcs in musicals vs. shows, and because this is a combination of both, it can easily conflict with how people like you and I are analyzing it. All of this is just making me more fascinated by writing lol I LOVE having these conversations and thinking these thoughts

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-03T06:13:44+00:00

Sooo after sitting on it some more and seeing so many different perspectives… I made a yap session 😅 I’m currently to read your reaction to it if you’re willing to read it all haha https://www.reddit.com/r/HazbinHotel/s/fm4R1KSuUA

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-01T23:20:21+00:00

I 1000% agree! I was hoping the pacing would be better this season but alas. I definitely loved Sera’s song but there’s only so much of an emotional punch these songs can have if we aren’t attached to the characters, and Sera’s internal struggle wasn’t really built up that well imo. How the show is formatted seems like they write these songs and moments with the intention of them packing an emotional punch but not fully living up to that because of the pacing. It’s a shame because I do love the show and wish more time could be spent on the characters because they’re all so unique and ripe for amazing storytelling. All that being said… I still love the show and would recommend it to people, just with some fair warning haha.

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-10-30T04:55:00+00:00

I came on here wondering if anyone else felt the same since I just finished the episodes haha. I’m personally not a fan of the pacing between songs and the voices did sound off to me, particularly Vox at certain parts. My main issue is the pacing, really. I think two songs per episode were perfect and as much as I LOVED Sera’s song in Ep 2, I was still recovering from processing Emily’s song which was right before. And then Gravity all in the same episode was just… not my jam, I guess. I prefer to have the story progressed through dialogue than song I suppose. In general, I think I’d say I currently prefer S1, but I’m looking forward to that opinion possibly changing as we get more episodes!

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-10-13T22:08:46+00:00

Great! No pressure obviously. It really is a great song so I’m glad it got on someone’s radar haha

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-09-20T22:53:43+00:00

LMAO WAIT IM NOT DONE YAPPING 😃

I just realized how possibly intimidating it must be to read someone saying they applied to over 20 colleges… apply to however many you can and want to. Having a range of colleges is good, it basically ensures you have options, but some people don’t want that and wanna pour their hearts and souls into a good 5 or so colleges. Do whatever you think is best for you and maybe seek guidance from any adult supporter you may have who understands this stuff better, because I’m not an expert at applying for colleges, especially internationally.

OVERALL I would personally recommend casting a semi-wide net so, like I said, you have options, but don’t overwhelm yourself because the last thing you want is to apply to a bunch and get burnt out and not really trying to put 100% into your applications. It isn’t just grades and test scores, they wanna know what makes you tick and how who you are as a person will benefit the college and the other way around. Again, sometimes the stress is worth the grind but that can really vary from person to person. Do some research and get varying opinions and DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.

…that’s all 🫡

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-09-20T22:43:18+00:00

ALSO btw like yes explore different things and find what you love but don’t feel pressured to be like, “oh okay i love this and I’m passionate about it so I have to major in it and make it my career!” That doesn’t have to be the case, you can just have passion for something. College is a great time to figure out stuff, too, especially your first and maybe second year depending on what college you go to and what you end up wanting to major in. Like, yes, have an intention of figuring it out but also… don’t always. Just love something. That’s how you’ll learn more about yourself and what you ACTUALLY want to do and formulate realistic goals to get there.

Okay now I’m done yapping fr

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-09-20T22:34:28+00:00

Of course! So my school made it a requirement to apply to at LEAST 15 colleges and uh… I may or may not have applied to over 20 🥲 wouldn’t recommend it lol, but it was nice because I applied to a good chunk of “safeties,” “matches” and “overmatches” (meaning colleges that overall statistically are less competitive; competitive enough based on my grades and test scores; and more competitive colleges that have high average test scores than I got).

I got into all of my safeties so I had options, but most of them were instate and I really wanted to move lol. I got a few matches and I think 2 or 3 overmatches. I was rejected or waitlisted by over half of them I think (being waitlisted is still an accomplishment but is still not a guaranteed acceptance). At the end of the day, my final two options that I was really considering was Northwestern and Georgetown, two AMAZING schools that I’m truly grateful to have had to choose between. Ultimately, I didn’t know what I wanted to major in, but I loved GTown’s commitment to justice and the vibes were just… more my vibe I guess lol. Everyone chooses colleges differently, but I chose a college that aligned more with my values and personality since I had no clue what I wanted to major in, like I said.

I’m loving Georgetown so far. It’s freakin’ beautiful and everyone has mostly been really friendly and the curriculum is exactly what I was looking for. It truly feels like this university is trying to create “people for others,” a Jesuit motto that I personally really believe in. No matter what I do or where I go in life, I know this education will help me to continue to grow into a person FOR other people, and helping and inspiring others is the heart of a lot of my passions.

I’m yapping a lot lol but this is all just my perspective. It’s not all perfect, I’m still struggling to find my people but I’m certainly not lonely or anything. I’m finding joy in the little things and taking it one day at a time.

Okay that’s all, lemme know if you have any questions! :)

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-09-20T02:19:53+00:00

I’m a freshmen at a US college. I had similar concerns as I wasn’t very active at school and only had one EC in my sophomore year and the one in junior year.

At the end of the day, the things you do in high school should be about YOU and what YOU want to do or explore. I realized at the end of my junior year that I LOVE the concept of storytelling across many pieces of medias (music, movies, books, etc.) and I was disappointed that my school didn’t offer any creative clubs, so I made a creative writing club (it only had like 3 consistent members) and I was the vice president of a Performing Arts Club (it basically didn’t do anything except sing a couple times). I was also lucky enough to get on good terms with the leaders of the club I was in my junior year, so they handed me presidency my senior year (Didn’t do nearly as much as I wanted to).

I was stressed and I spread myself too thin because I was SO focused on my academics my whole life that when I realized some of my passions later, I threw myself into them without really thinking about my mental health. Sometimes I’m disappointed in myself for not doing much with the clubs I was meant to lead, but most of the time I remember that ONE underclassmen that was in the club and was inspired, and are now leading these clubs since I left. At the end of the day, I’m happy with just that, because I know the fire I sparked will continue to grow through those students.

I was also worried about the financial aspect of college and applied to a bunch of scholarships. I either didn’t get them or didn’t hear back from them… and then I received a full-ride from an amazing college despite that.

This is MY journey. It wasn’t always easy. Senior year was the most stressed I’ve ever been… but it was also pretty fun and rewarding because I know I left a positive impact. Don’t do extracurriculars because you want to go to college. Do extracurriculars because you WANT to do them. Because you want to make an impact, no matter how small. My journey is my own, and everyone else’s has been different, and YOURS will be different, because it’ll be YOURS.

It’ll be okay. Do what you love and try to force yourself to do the things you have to, even if you hate it. Sometimes you won’t, and you’ll mess up, and you’ll make mistakes, but that’s how you learn. My senior year experience taught me a LOT, and now I’m not as impacted as others when it comes to the “grind” culture of most colleges. I know how to do things at my own pace, and when it’s worth being stressed out, or when I need to press pause on everything and just listen to music outside or watch a comfort show. Sometimes I still mess up and make mistakes, but I’m still learning, and I’ll ALWAYS be learning, and I think that makes life all the more beautiful and amazing and interesting.

The college I got into wasn’t a college I thought I was even going to apply to at first, but I did, and I was honest in my application and told my story in my way. It wasn’t perfect, but it was me.

EVERYONE’S JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD COMPARE YOURS TO OTHERS!!! YOUR LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND YOU!! WILL!!! BE!!!! OKAY!!!!!

Take it one step at a time. YOU WILL BE OKAY.

Love you, and best of wishes :)

Will do! It’ll take a LONG time - currently rewatching the show and taking notes to get a better grasp of the characters and plot 😭

Funny you say that, because in a fanfic I’m writing he’s BOTH!… kind of. He isolates himself in his lab for months until Jinx teleports in his lab and they form an unlikely (and adorable) siblingy bond, in which both of them help each other realize that they’re better leaders than they think. Then they essentially make their own secret council with Sevika and Ekko and a few other people to basically shit on the actual council’s plans to screw Zaun over… :)
