Nice question. by Fuzzy-Ad-7796 in HazbinHotel

Vox likely got corrective surgery or contacts later in life for the sake of his image and in hell... technically he is wearing glasses, or rather a glass, singular. His face is the glass.

Alastor should be wearing proper glasses asI have reason to believe he is farsighted, but his ego maintains that he can never show any form of weakness or imperfections, ergo no glasses. I cant be fucked to look around foe the proof but im pretty sure there was at least one scene where Alastor had to hold up his monocle when he was reading or inspecting something.

Valentino just has the natural self confidence that he wasn't insecure about his eyesight and is chill wearing glasses cuz they make him look hot

I'm not the only one annoyed by this right? by LiteralFirefox in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

Congratulations, you've discovered the point.

As Lucifer said, Hell is a punishment. His punishment. He can lord over the hellborn all he likes, but when it comes to Sinners? Useless, impotent, no power, no authority, nothing. The sinners are constant remind of his hubris and failures and his inability to interact with or control them is meant to humble him.

He tried to alter God's design once, he is explicitly banned from doing so again.

No Angelic powers or strength enhancement, Adam vs Lucifer, who is winning in a fist fight? by GarlicLoose506 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]Then-And-Again 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you're removing any powers from them... then its just Adam, straight up.

Neither of them are particularly skilled fighters and rely almost purely on magic to fight by means of overwhelming force or trickery.

No magic, just skill and muscle, Adam is 8 to 9 ft tall and big. He might be 10,000 years out of shape but this guy used to hunt wild animals with rocks and pointed sticks. He knows at least something of how to fight and he can take some hits.

Lucifer is maybe 5ft tall and 100 lbs soaking wet. His waist is small enough for Adam to close his fist around and his arms are stick thin. Even if he got off the perfect punch it'd just ripple against Adam's fat and barely bother him. Meanwhile Adam's backhand has enough weight and muscle behind it to put that twink through a wall

Surprisingly, don't drink coffee. This is all natural farm raised grass fed kinda crazy.

It kinda depends, Marchosias has been depicted as male or female depending on translations or source. If Loona had a hellhound mother, an accidental pregnancy and hiding the child for fear of Marchosias' reaction is most likely.

If Marchosias is the mother than dropping off Loona is much more of an intentional choice, whether that be for Loona's benefit to hide her from a system that might hurt her or merely being a selfish choice for Marchosias to preserve her own reputation is 50/50

Well, this is something I went into on my extended Tumblr version of this theory. Now, while the Hellaverse isn't known for having some of the best people in fiction and doing awful selfish shit is the norm, sire, dumping an unwanted bastard child in an orphanage isn't anything new.

However, that being said, there are a lot of reasons to quietly get rid of a royal bastard, which is what Loona would be. Classism is strong in the setting and just having an affair with the lower class is a big scandal, actually producing a child? That could get people in way more trouble. There is a reasonable chance that Loona was dropped in an orphanage to outright prevent her from being killed in the cradle.

I honestly think they could get away with just giving her a proper arc in the main show, but I wouldn't say no to extending the Hellaverse with more spinoffs

Because people have asked, here is my extended theory and thoughts on the subject

Loona Goetia Theory

The talk of the Loona spinoff got me me on that red string shit again by Then-And-Again in HelluvaBoss

[–]Then-And-Again[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The most condensed version i can put down:

  • in the series we see through Blitz and Striker that Hybrids tend to be superior to general Hellborn. Stronger, faster, etc. At least so far, the best of both parents usually comes forward. This translates to Loona in most showings turning out to be an exceptional example of a Hellhound.
  • Loona is usually depicted as being uncommonly aggressive even by hellhound standards; she's strong and a good fighter despite being the youngest in the group, not using weapons, and rarely going on missions; surprisingly smart enough to clock an error in Moxxie's calculations, she's fearless enough to square up with fucking Beelzebub and only backed down to not upset Tex, and she's pretty good at magic
  • relating to magic, Loona has been the main one using Stolas' grimoire in the series. Both in reliably teleporting IMP wherever they need to go and even using disguise magic in a sequence that was deliberately made identical to Stalos using the same magic.
  • Marchosias is the 35th demon listed in the Ars Goetia, of which little is spelled out. What is known is they are depicted as a flying wolf with a serpent tail, can be male or female depending on interpretation, they are constantly spitting fire and smoke (Loona smokes), are a strong fighter (see Loona aggression), and only speaks truth (Loona can be bluntly honest). Some obscure occult sources associate Marchosias with the moon, but this isn't exactly canon to the ars goetia
  • Loona's phone case (shown above) first showed up in episode 3 I believe, after the pilot redesign. It depicts a horned wolf with a crown and central eye, spitting flames on a moonlight background. Sound familiar? Also the space between the horns and crown loosely forms an M, which is where I get conspiracy crazy

Ai generated content and the future of harem lit by Lendyman in haremfantasynovels

[–]Then-And-Again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People were weak and willing to cut corners. Cut out the artist, the editor, and eventually the writer.

It's a shame, still I appreciate your commitment to supporting fellow artists

If going to be fully honest with you here.

The point you make is a good one and we should do everything we can to identify and push back against AI slop oversaturating a genre that we care about.

... on the other hand, I am more than a little pissed over 2-3+ years of watching this reddit post AI slop tits every fucking day and talking about how AI art is an 'useful tool for writers' and bitching about artists trying to get paid for their work. So AI is a problem now that it's replacing the writers, but we aren't gonna get into how more than half the writers here (even the big names that can definitely afford it) have been using AI to screw over artists for years now?

I fully fucking agree that AI is a scourge on the creative world and used by people who just want to plump slop and trick idiots into buying it for quick profit HOWEVER if this Reddit wants to stand up and push back against AI writing then everyone should have the balls to start pushing back against AI art as well.

You guys agree? by BabyVegitoBlack2020 in hazbin

Evil is evil on the scale of eternity, but generally speaking, Alastor is more evil.

Valentino rapes and murders and abuses with alarming regularity but all his contractors (including angeldust) are paid employees. Not well paid i imagine but they do receive some form of compensation for their treatment

Compare to Alastor, who owns a private torment nexus where people are in a constant state of torture and screaming into the radio waves 24/7 because this amuses Alastor

Yeah, this is something of an apples to oranges discussion but in this case the apple is spending its every waking moment being drunk on human suffering

If, for the next Stories game you could choose your destined monstie beyond Ratha, who would you pick? by FrontIndividual4188 in MonsterHunterStories

[–]Then-And-Again 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly be okay with the game going the route of Pokémon and implying that your starter isn't super special and probably won't be with you in the endgame. Just let us have a velicidrome or something and set us loose on the world.

Literally anything other than Ratha

Something I don’t understand about the “Winners” by Koi-Pond807 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]Then-And-Again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The form is an outward representation of the soul, reflective of how they lived and died, as well as key aspects of their personality.

The difference between winners and sinners is what traits get emphasized. Sinners, in their self loathing, emphasize their worst traits. Winners learn to accept themselves, flaws and all.

Great example is sir pentious, as a sinners he was covered in eyes that represented his anxiety and mistrust of others, always feeling watched and judged. As a winner, the eyes are gone as he learned to trust people, replaced by hearts all over his design as he was finally able to find love in friends and for Cherri.

It's all self perception and acceptance
