Heavenly Angel ReImagined Concepts

Concept drawings I did for the ReImagined versions of the angels in this AU. Note: While I did take inspiration from Biblical angels for aspects of these designs, the mythology is entirely different. I labeled this as Heavenly Angel just because it’s easier to distinguish from Angel Dust when I eventually post about him.

(The first two are halves of a concept page of general angel design aspects, the drawings on paper are meant for a specific angel that is important in an episode of the Helluva Boss Rewrite. Pardon the Blitzo I drew him entirely from memory there.)

Hot take(?): I do not like the design for the Hazbin angels in the slightest- the Seraphim Sisters are fine I guess, but Adam and Lute just look like recolored Imps with those horns. The strange body shape given to Adam as well throws me off, I think there are plenty of other ways to make his robe design look a little better. That, however, is not entirely the focus of these reimagined angels (however the original Hazbin Angel designs will play a certain role in this rewrite, which will be explained below).

For more details and a full version of the split image, check under the cut!

- The angels have three different forms: their default (which resembles the ones shown here), their more Humanoid form, and their True/Powered Up form.

- Their bodies are made from a sort of liquid metallic substance, which can shapeshift and transform at will. Their ‘hair’ is the most clear example of this on their bodies in the default forms.

- The only Solid piece of their body that cannot transform is their torso, which houses the angel’s ‘core’ (that Eye shown in the image above). When they enter their Full Powered form, their torso opens up and exposes the core as the rest of their body transforms.

- An angel’s rank can be seen in the number of wings they possess on their pendent- More wings indicating a higher position.

- Their wings fold around their bodies and act as a sort of robe when not needed- that aforementioned pendent acts as a sort of ‘magic clasp’ that holds the robe in place.

- When an angel becomes corrupted or ‘falls,’ the liquids of their body begins to melt and deform them into a twisted version of themself. One can see this in the example I gave above of Adam, whose form twisted into something more akin to that of the Hazbin Angel design. Their halos also blacken when they become corrupted, and eventually will break and disappear entirely as they fall from grace.

- These Fallen Angels, while still being immortal, come to possess aspects akin to the weaknesses of mortals- that being, they can now feel pain and suffering, as well as conceive and fall ill. They fell from grace and now will suffer for the rest of eternity.

- Children of these fallen angels will often bear scars that represent ‘what could have been’ as well as possess seemingly random aspects associated with these angels. Ie. Multiple eyes, small wings decorating their limbs, melting, etc.

[hazbin-hotline]

Very well done- this adds a heavier level of nuance to Stella and Stolas’ character, I would say, and allows for Stolas to actually be punished for his actions for once. The joy I feel upon seeing Stella call him out for lying, sleeping in their bed, and forcing Via to actually hear the action taking place (whether unintentional or not) is very vast- this actually feels like a conversation between two adults rather than the forced dialogue from the original scene.

Even before I started thinking of how I’d rewrite these shows, and before I began critically thinking about how Season Two’s retcons affected the overall story of Helluva (as well as the generally messy writing in the first place), that ‘I like tormenting you’ line just always felt- very flat. Flat and forced, like something you’d see a Saturday morning cartoon villain say to their nemesis. If this sort of dialogue had taken place instead, it would have been a considerably more satisfying conclusion. Overall, very nice job with the dialogue here.

Also this is very random but I’m picturing Stella to be in some form of really flowy pink night robe in this scene over a night gown? Idk, I just picture her to have really fancy pajamas that, given the context of this rewritten scene, would probably be on full display. The urge to doodle that is strong, I will not lie.

Rewriting the “I like tormenting you” scene because…yeah 🦢 💔🦉

Stolas, long angsty song number: In his gilded…jail….

Stella: The fuck are you doing?

Stolas: Reflecting.

Stella: Well stop it. It’s annoying to hear you screeching your angsty woes all the time, we’re trying to get some fucking sleep.

Stolas: Why are you still here? You leave with Via on the weekends but you still hang around the house. Why?

Stella, enraged: What, do you think I just like tormenting you or something?How dare you. Your palace has been my home for nineteen fucking years, MY jail for nineteen years. My life, WASTED as brood mare, trying to keep up this sham of a marriage all to appease you and your fucking father! All the while you cry about what a prisoner YOU are. I will not have you men throwing me from dollhouse to dollhouse according to your flimsy whims! You utterly spineless man!

Stolas, preparing to strike her: You watch your tone with me, Via isn’t here to see your hysterical outbursts and I’ve had enough of your screeching harpy nonsense—

Stella, holding her hand up as well to strike him back: MY harpy screeching?? My hysteria?? After what you did??

Stolas, holding his hands up in glee and laughing maliciously: I was tired of your petty insults, your cruelty. I’m delighted you and your arrogant foul friends bore witness to my triumph—

Stella, incredulous: Triumph is it? So all of that “there wasn’t time for a motel” crap was another of your lies? You are fucking sickening. The least you could have done was sleep with that imp outside of our fucking bed. Instead of forcing us all to see or hear the fallout of that disgusting ‘passionate fornication’ you call it. And yes, I do mean, ALL of us in the palace.

Stolas, confused and cowering: I—I don’t understand. What are you getting at with this?

Stella: The screeching, the moaning, the disgusting fucking snaps and slicing from the arsenal of weapons you used to fornicate for hours. Not even the loudest blast of her shitty plebeian music could have drowned out that racket!! (She screams to herself and throws a vase, shattering it behind them) You fucking embarrassment of a father! (Her voice cracks, she tears up mirroring his own expression) What have you done?! What was it all for??

Stolas, falling to his knees: No no…no no no…you’re just turning her against me. You’re lying!! You never gave a shit about me or our very much arranged marriage!! I…I got back at you. You never even tried to make it comfortable for us! It was all me! All for that girl!!

Stella: “That girl” has been nothing more than your toy to make you feel better about yourself. For you to try to re-parent YOURSELF through her. To make you feel like you haven’t made a mistake.

Stolas: Shut up!!

Stella: That girl, has been living our lie—your lie—since her birth! And I can’t do it anymore!!

Stolas: Enough!!

Stella: Were it not for my fucking anatomy, I would have filed divorce seconds after her egg fell out of me!! But you just had to have your little fantasy, your happy family. You always resented me for not sharing your theatrical displays, well fuck that. I’m not an actress and I won’t live a lie. We are getting the divorce! And you will compensate me for the years I’ve lost to you!! You will NOT take my home from me!

Stolas, weeping: No no…I don’t want that…you can’t make me…I don’t want it!! I don’t want that!! You bitch…you never once cared about me…not once…

Stella, is silent for a prolonged moment, face unseeen, she turns and a broken smile is on her face, she speaks in short sentences: Thats. That’s right. Fucking…pathetic man…you’ve finally met your match. And I know you’ll pay for it.

(She leaves, they are both deeply broken. Stella has a broken expression, she sees Via in the hallway and gasps, wipes her mascara trails away and puts on her ice queen persona): Via darling. Mummy and Daddy are just…playing a silly game. You know how we are. Don’t stay out in the cold. I’ll…run you a bath. (She reaches out to her)

Via, pain stricken after everything she’s heard, flinches away from her and runs off: I hate you…I hate both of you. I always KNEW this day was coming!!

Stolas, crumpled on the floor, stares into the sky: …It was for love…it was all for love…

“…and that was the lovely Miss Rascally Rosie with her recipe on her delicious Not-So-Porky Meatloaf- such a delight, I’m sure families at home would kill to get a taste of it. Haha! Now then folks, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Our shiniest, flashiest, newest segment of the season, one that I’m sure all sinners will want to take a gander at. Introducing, the one, the only- Hazbin Hotline! Your one-stop segment of all things related to our very own Princess’ Happy Hotel. Brought to you by your local Radio Man…”

Greetings and salutations, one and all! I’m Midnight, and this is my Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss Rewrite Blog! I’ll be sharing my Hazbin redesigns as well as my entire AU rewrite of it and Helluva Boss, as well as occasionally discussing the source material as well.

A few Tidbits and/or Rules to Get us Started:

- Please no harassment! I’m not a huge fan of Vivziepop or Spindlehorse as a whole, but I ask that you please don’t send harassment towards me or the OG creators regarding anything I say here. I’m just an artist who wants to share my thoughts on a piece of media I used to like a lot.

- For my own comfort and because it allows me a little more creative freedom imo, I’ll be creating an original underworld mythology, with original figures, for these rewrites. They may take inspo from aspects of Christian mythology, but they will not follow them to a T.

- Feel free to send me any questions or constructive criticism regarding my stories and/or designs! I love talking about the thoughts behind my work, and I know my designs aren’t perfect.

- Some of the art I post here (such as screenshot redraws) won’t be 100% canon to my rewrite, I just wanted to do them for fun. These will be appropriately tagged as for-fun artworks rather than canon!

- Despite some themes that the rewrite itself will address, I will NOT be posting any NSFW artwork! I don’t particularly enjoy that sort of thing at all.

Now, with those things out of the way…

Enjoy the show!

And stay tuned, folks.
