#AV rivalry

[chaoticace2005]

Top Hazbin Hotel Songs so far: (order not super relevant because I jump a lot between my favorites so it’s hard to have a definitive ranking.)

(Note: ALL the songs were bops. There wasn’t a single one I disliked. I’m just going off which ones hit me the hardest and are now living in my head.)

1. Stayed Gone- this song is just so fucking catchy. The quick talking of Vox at the beginning is great- displaying confidence while also clearly overcompensating. The music is pretty repetitive at first but in a comforting way, being simple in terms of number of instruments. And then Al comes in and changes it up. I love the way these two argue- Al just roasting the hell out of Vox was great. The rivalry between these two is great and so entertaining to watch.

2. Loser Baby- so cute. Keith David’s voice was amazing. Loved Angel and Husk’s chemistry. Angel’s shock/annoyance at Husk at first is hilarious. Also songs like that and Crooked (from Helluva Boss) really are saying something’s we really don’t hear often enough: that things are a mess sometimes, but that doesn’t mean you’re alone. Both songs acknowledge the messy parts of the characters and both say “I see that, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care for you.” Plus it being in the same episode as Poison? Their messages complimented each other well and kind of closed the story for it.

3. Poison- Blake Roman is just- wow. No words. When this song came out a couple weeks ago I had it on repeat obsessively. We get to see Angel’s internal thoughts- his self-blaming for all the shit that’s happening, and how hopeless he feels. The emotion poured into this is astounding. It was amazing as a stand-alone song, and then the way the show integrated it in episode 4 made it hit even harder. It’s definitely A LOT- but sometimes that’s what makes such hard hitting songs, being so personal.

4. Hell is Forever- Alex Brightman killed it as always. I listened to this one on repeat dozens of times. It’s so insanely catchy. The rock(?) music that comes in to cut Charlie off? Also this song nails in the fact even more than Adam SUCKS. And while this is happening we are delivered the logic behind the angel’s choices- explicitly saying “yeah we don’t care. Murder is fun :)” AND are given the information about major conflict of season- that the extermination day for moved up.

5. Respectless- got brain worms from this. The way Velvette dropped in and changed the whole genre of the song was A W E S O M E. Her and Carmilla both SLAPPED. Also the line “I’m the backbone of the Vees” was just- I just loved the energy of the song. Major Six vibes. I’d love Lilli Cooper to sing more in the show!

what curse did roy put on the habs?

28 years ago today the red wings came to the montreal forum and put up 9 goals in a period in a half on patrick roy. he was a proud man, already a 2x cup and conn smythe winner as a canadien, and he saw being left in for this many goals against instead of pulled as a great injustice. after he finally was pulled, he went up to the president of the Canadiens, who sat right behind the bench, and said "this is the last game I play as a Canadien." He was traded that week to the Avs, won another two cups and another conn smythe, and neither Montreal nor any other Canadian team has won a Cup since.

#asks #patrick roy #the fact that it was the wings also kind of initiated the wings-avs rivalry #bc if there's one thing patrick roy does it's hold a grudge

God I hate national broadcasts so much.

What I want from national broadcasts? The same kind of energy when I was at the wild game. Just a Little avs fan hanging out with a season ticket holder seated next to me. We shared things about our teams that the other person didn’t know and were nice and complimentary to the other team. That’s what I want. None of this “this team was spanked last night” or “I don’t know if I’d have confidence in Georgie about the west” nonsense that tnt’s been spouting.

This is what local broadcasters thrown together could bring us-a better national broadcast world

#avs lb #but also #hockey #and maybe for rivalry games they get a little chirpy but not mean you know? #I just think sometimes about the tnt game where they were mean to the opponents rookie and it was like #man that’s not fair to them they’re just a baby #also if you were down there saying that shit the team dad would come after you #and I just don’t think we’d get the -mean- vibes that sometime come off from the national broadcast crews #it’s very Roy Kent of you don’t know shit about what they’re going through of me but I stick with it

mayhaps, you're wondering, "hey T, who are you rooting for in the 'yoffs anyhow?"

well...

Carolina Hurricanes v. New York Islanders - New York Islanders. They are an acceptable Metro team, and we can all agree the Rags suck, which is a massive plus point in my eyes. And I mean, why in the world would I ever root for the Canes. I'm a Devils fan, let's be serious for a moment.

Boston Bruins v. Toronto Maple Leafs - Boston Bruins. Look, the Bruins are in my top three most hated teams, and the Leafs are in the following tier. To me the Leafs are just Canada's Yankees. AM34 is just another Derek Jeter variant. If it wasn't made clear, I am a Mets fan, and I've been a Mets fan longer than I've been a Devils fan and I've been a Devils fan for over two decades. You'd think given that logic, I'd choose the team I hated less, which would be the Leafs, but nope. I mean, I want to pick neither. I would rather pick neither. Don't ask me to explain my brain. It is what it is.

Florida Panthers v. Tampa Bay Lightning - Florida Panthers. This is almost purely because I've been Catspilled by the Discord. Do you understand how much I viscerally disliked the Panthers up until mere months ago. I still don't actually like them, but I wouldn't be upset if they won, so there. Sigh. Thanks, I hate it. Another match up where I'd rather have neither. Another matchup of hated teams.

New York Rangers v. Washington Capitals - Washington Capitals. For one series only, I am a Caps believer. When I tell you, I dislike the Caps so heavily, so so so deeply. Its so historic. But you know what team I hate the most ever because they're cops...the Rags. So this is actually so incredibly straightforward. Anyone but the Rags is the policy here on imperatorrrrr dot tumblr dot com. The East is mostly just unwatchable for me and mostly just filled with matchups of teams I hate.

Winnipeg Jets v. Colorado Avalanche - Colorado Avalanche. This is easy. Fuck the Jets. I like the Avs.

Vancouver Canucks v. Nashville Predators - Vancouver Canucks. This is the team I am rooting for to go all the way. This is the team I have transferred all of my Devils emotions onto. This is the team that I have chosen. Fun fact tho! I actually wouldn't be entirely mad about the Preds making it either, but the Nuckies are my playoff team. They're also like my third favorite team, so.

Dallas Stars v. Vegas Golden Knights - Dallas Stars. Like I think I'm in the pipeline to become a full fledged Stars fan, but I'm not completely there yet, ya feel? In the meantime tho, definitely rooting for them against Vegas. Here's the thing, fuck Vegas right. Like fuck 'em. Here's policy numero dos here on imperatorrrrr dot tumblr dot come: anyone but the Knights.

Edmonton Oilers v. Los Angeles Kings - Los Angeles Kings. Another lesser of two evils situation here. Kings dislike is historic as in 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs historic right. Oilers hatred is more visceral? More of the moment? I'm softening on my Kings historic dislike. I mean look at me, I'm rooting for the Avs. Do you understand that any Devils fan worth their salt in the early 2000s absolutely did not like the Avs? And look at me now! So yeah, this is mostly I don't want the Oils to win, so the Kings it is! Oh, here's a west coast matchup of hated teams. Some variety in the mix!

there you have it folks! a rooting summary for Round One for those interested!

#Text #Stanley Cup Playoffs #NHL Playoffs 2024 #you gotta understand that I've been a Devils fan since like 1999 #and that means I have almost twenty five years of rivalries stored in me #there was even a time when I disliked the Ducks #THE DUCKS! #so like rooting for teams is actually very hard for me #cause I have a story about each one of them #at this point honestly besides actually rooting for the Avs and the Nuckies #its a battle of who I don't want to win the Cup the least #I feel like Round Two is gonna be a lot more hard choices #if anyone can guess my color coded system they'll get a fic #see! I give points for reading all my tags

CA: seems to me like you get along too wwell wwith evverybody to be harborin any black sentiments CC: Um... CC: Yea)(. I can't t)(ink of anybody I feel t)(at way about. 38\ CC: Maybe I am just not old enoug)( to )(ave t)(ose feelings yet? We are still pretty young you know.

There’s something I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to address, and this seems like a good time for it. 

Kismesis relationships are incredibly unhealthy. We’re on a planet of angry children, and we’re telling them to direct their negative emotions towards each other. This is wrong.

I know Alternian culture deems this acceptable, and even desirable - but Alternia wouldn’t really care if it’s damaging these kids’ mental health, would it? Alternia doesn’t want mentally healthy trolls - it wants soldiers. Kismesissitude serves a useful purpose for the empire, since it can be used to breed more ‘potent’ wigglers - but it has no reason to care if the trolls themselves are miserable as a result. 

Look. Maybe if you’re an adult troll, and you’re very careful not to let it go too far, kismesissitude can be cathartic - but these troll kids don’t have the emotional maturity to engage with these kinds of feelings. Even human teenagers have trouble expressing negative emotions in a healthy way. Adolescent kismesissitude could get toxic - or worse - incredibly easily, and I think the Vriska/Tavros relationship is a pretty good case study of the results. 

Especially with all this pressure! It doesn’t even matter whether you want to participate in kismesissitude - you have no choice but to throw yourself into one of these rivalries, on pain of death. It’s unclear when, or how often, the imperial drone comes knocking - but I’m sure every troll can hear the clock ticking in their heads. Find someone to hate - or else. 

It’s interesting that the only troll for whom the clock may not be ticking - the heiress, whose imperial drones are unlikely to harm her - is skeptical about entering a kismesissitude this young. 

Maybe, without the pressure to find someone to hate, she’s realized that she’s not as hateful as she’s been told. 

You and this sea princess have splashed down hard into the moirail zone, and now you don't know which way's upward. Perhaps tonight you will reveal your true feelings toward her, and end these exaggerated emotional theatrics once and for all, one way or another.

That’s the second time that Eridan has referred to ‘the moirail zone’, which is clearly analogous to the infamous ‘friendzone’. He wants a flushed relationship with Feferi, but his pale relationship with her is getting in the way. 

It’s kind of funny that a troll can ruin their prospects with someone by getting into the wrong relationship with them. This is the awkward subject that Eridan was trying to raise - he wants to switch quadrants. 

That guy. Talk about a high maintenance moirail. Perhaps tonight you will reveal your true feelings toward him, and end these exaggerated emotional theatrics one way or another.

I don’t get the sense that Feferi feels the same, though.

Her relationship with Eridan seems exhausting, and he doesn’t seem to be playing ball at all - presumably because he’s trying to end the relationship. I don’t think this is going to go the way he hopes.
