Every day, I get more and more embarrassed to say that I enjoy Helluva Boss (despite the many MANY flaws) and that I'm excited for Hazbin Hotel.
I've been following both of these projects since the pilots were released and I've happily keeping up with all the new episodes of Helluva and with all the Hazbin announcements.
But of course, because of the nature of both projects, the humor, the artsyle, the release nature, the pilots being released on YouTube, it attracted a HUGE audience who think they're entitled to do and say anything they want. Not to mention how many vitriolic haters it attracted too.
You can't defend the new cast without people loosing their shit over how the new cast "doesn't fit the characters like the pilot cast". People can't defend the new cast without putting down the pilot cast either as seen with people bashing Michael Kovach for being a bad singer when that isn't objectively true.
We can't go one week with some Vivziepop anti on Twitter pulling false accusations out of their ass trying to bash Vivenne Medrano for being a horrible witch who doesn't pay her team.
You can't criticize ANYTHING Vivienne Medrano does or any aspect of her shows without a legion of diehard stans who defend her every move and every writing decision made even tho the writing in Helluva Boss is objectively a mess.
The closer Hazbin gets to its release date the more rapidly people spew out hate from BOTH SIDES and its ruining the experience for those of us who just want to have a good time.
This is like the Voltron fandom but worse and Hazbin hasn't even been fucking released yet. I'm ready to just watch the show and stay in my lane without interacting with the fandom because this shit is exhausting. I've never seen so much drama over a show that hasn't EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET. I wanted to get Hazbin merch but now I don't want to cause I don't wanna be associated with the mountains of shit both the fandom and the hatedom continue to cause.
Fuck this. I was excited for Hazbin's release and now I'm honestly dreading it. So much for faithfully following the series for like 5 years.

Memory Loss Billy Edition
I've seen a few "Billy gets hit with a spell that causes him to forget that he's captain Marvel" fan works but I haven't seen anything for the opposite.
Cap gets hit with a spell and forgets that Billy Batson ever existed let alone that that's who he is.
If no one knows he's Billy; everything's OK for a while. But then be starts acting differently. More serious and less happy-go-lucky. He's got too many memories of past lives and none of them fit who he is currently. He starts having episodes where he questions if everything about himself is just a purely magical facade of a human. Is his personality and looks just the wizard and the gods idea of a perfect human being? Of a perfect Champion? Is anything about him actually him? The Justice League has to figure out what the spell did to Marvel and how to reverse it.
If they do know; the League has to convince Cap that he's actually a 8-12 year old boy while trying to find a way to reverse the spell. It doesn't help that Cap thinks the spell has affected the League and is also trying to find a spell that will get them to stop thinking he's 8-12 when he's clearly an adult.
If you add the god chat into the equation you could make it even more funny or angsty depending on how the writer decides to have things play out.

hello everyone i just got back from hanging out at the local comic shop with my friend and I need to share my findings/takeaways from this experience:
apparently the new artist for the buffy comics is one of those artists who can only draw skinny 20 year olds. what have they done to my beloved father figure rupert giles. send help
i learned that scott lobdell of all fucking people wrote an angel miniseries for dark horse which i have to assume crosses some kind of misogyny event horizon. it's a miniseries about gunn. i found this up while me and my friend were bitching about how much we fucking hate scott lobdell and i started angrily looking up his bibliography to see what else he's written that i could complain about and i went through all five stages of grief in the span of 2 seconds
unrelated to either of the above points i'm starting to kind of miss being on comics tumblr

those people that say they wanna live in small towns and live the quote unquote cottagecore farm life are so full of shit. the only thing I like about it is I don't have to worry about modern politics being shoved down my throat but what I DO have to worry about is insane predatory men with very poorly misguided traditional values i.e. beating women/seeing them as property, hardcore drug users roaming the streets, violence, poor income etc. like yeah okay I can buy land for $15k and get eggs from my neighbor but at what fucking cost

Some of Ya'll have no idea how to write impulsive characters and it shows
Say it with me kids:
Impulsive does not mean stupid.
Impulsive does not mean no common sense
I see too many people write impulsive characters as fucking idiots. As a fairly impulsive person myself, it makes me angry.
Every human being occasionally gets the the urge to do or say something that wouldn't be socially acceptable or would only make things worse, especially when they're emotional. Often (but not always, everyone does impulsive actions occasionally) people will think "no, I shouldn't do/say that" and then they don't do or say it. An impulsive person doesn't think twice about it. They do or say something potentially harmful, irresponsible, not socially acceptable, etc. and only AFTERWORDS do they realize oh fuck I shouldn't have done/said that fuck fuck fuck fuck.
An impulsive character will still make a plan of action. They might have a hard time sticking to that plan. An impulsive person will be easier to provoke into anger or another emotional outburst, but impulsivity is different from a "heat of the moment" outburst. Impulsive actions are quick.
Calling your girlfriend a bitch in the middle of an argument is pretty impulsive (and also not okay, lemme be clear about that). Making an entire "the reason you suck" speech towards your girlfriend is not impulsive (although a quick "the reason you suck" summary or bullet point list can be an impulsive action).
Punching someone in the face because they insulted you is impulsive. Doing an entire beatdown because someone insulted you is not impulsive, but can have roots in impulsivity - impulsive characters can sometimes get to the "heat of the moment BSoD" stage faster.
might add more points later, idk. Hope this makes sense.

take it back from your heart (throw it back in your head)
Of Kaya, Suna, and how it hurts to fall. In and out.
Title inspired by a song called "Lights Out" from one of my favourite local bands, The Amsterdams. It's super, super sad. Kind of like this piece.
AO3 link here.
how does kaya fall in love with suna?
eyes closed, hands over ears, tongue tied, you don't want to think of it
because love is made of thorns
hope means waiting, even when you know nothing is coming
so desperately that it drives you mad at times
this habit of always looking at someone's back
of looking into someone's empty eyes
of knowing with certainty that you only have yourself in this cold, cold world
where people can talk to walls and mirrors more openly then they do with you
(you have heard your mother in the dead of the night when she thinks you're asleep)
(and it's just another piece of darkness that might swallow you whole one day if you're not careful)
this habit of teaching yourself not to wish
because every wish killed is another disappointment avoided
and why should you care about the way she can undo you with a glance
and why should you think about your reflection in her entire being
you still don't want to think of it
except her absence hurts like an open wound
like those backs turned during your bitter childhood
like the sound of your mother's unhinged laughter echoing in the walls
*
how does suna fall in love with kaya?
you don't, you tell yourself
because love is a punishment, and you have punished yourself enough
because love is a trap, a trap that caught so much of you that it's a wonder you can still stand
and you still bleed all over the place and no one is seeing
because sometimes you think you feel affection in his words
in the touch of his hand
and you always have to remember the way the entire universe collapsed into your chest when he denied you that love
it's so weird, because you didn't even realise you wanted it until you understood you could not have it
(because you were so tired of the familiar cruelty painted in bruises on your skin)
(of the soul-crushing weight of well-intended advices)
so you just imprison yourself
because you think that certain kinds of hell are worse than others
if only he wouldn't constantly add feathers to your wings
if only you could build your walls back up
if only you could grow bigger than the entire sky
so that nothing can touch you
so that you can finally be safe
in solitude
*
alone together
united in pain
fall in
fall out
fall in
