*cracks knuckles* Get ready for a long ask
As an animator/artist myself, I have a lot to say about the character designs.
I'm sure you've heard this before, but these characters are not animation friendly. More detail just makes it harder to animate. (While Bee is a notorious example, nearly all of the characters suffer from this)
When designing a character for animation, you need to pick and choose the key parts of their design, because you're going to be drawing the same thing over and over.
Another thing: The characters have so much freaking red to them.
I won't dwell on this for long, but they don't stand out from the background because there's so much freaking red
(Another thing that bugs me is that the characters don't look like what the artist wanted them to be like)
Ex:
Charlie doesn't look like a doll
Vaggie barely has a moth resemblance
Angel Dust doesn't look like a spider
Alastor doesn't look like a deer
Niffty doesn't look like a bug or B-movie styled aliens
Ozzie doesn't look like a rooster
Beelzebub doesn't look like an animal trainer (you would think with all the suits and shit she likes to use, an animal trainer's outfit would be perfect for this)
Another thing: Her characters reuse the same design tropes. Bow ties, suits, fingerless gloves, gold tooth, stick thin figure, top hat, etc
I'd excuse it if this was a beginner artist (heck, I used to do this, but eventually learned and grew out of it) but this is a woman in her 30's who graduated art school.
TL;DR The designs are bad and hard as heck to animate
Couldn't have said it better myself
I feel like, when Viv sits down to design a new character, her personal preferences come first and everything they're actually supposed to represent second. Sort of tacked onto the final product like "yeah sure that'll do it"
As for the details, if I may add on: not long ago I've studied screencaps of a character from Helluva for redesign purposes. The amount of inconsistencies I came across was surprising! I'm pretty sure he didn't even have an official ref sheet (nor has one been posted to date), but I've heard that even for more prevalent characters the animators only have the most basic turnarounds? Also stuff like Millie's hair and spots tend to be inconsistent. With so much gratuitous/weird detail and apparently lack of proper reference, consistency suffers
Everyone is also very spiky and full of triangles; I'd love a more soft or even square character. Also some different body types... I mean, remember Mimzy from Hazbin? I don't know if Viv does. I wonder if she's still gonna appear at some point. But anyway
On a more positive note, there's a lot of background character designs that I find really cool & enjoyable! Maybe I'll make an appreciation post for them sometime

eunji as a character is so weird. if this is her personality and its been like this since before jihyun was in the picture. i wonder why jaewon even decided to date her?
was it another mask he put himself into because everyone around him decided that they were the "perfect" pair? she entertains the idea of this ultra feminine role that is present in society to jaewon only. she's clearly narcissistic and egotistical. she values herself as better because she's pretty and she's a senior. she commends jaewon and demeans him as she digs at his own choices by saying that she's glad he finally woke up, and chose her. (which is so weird because jaewon is so deadpan to her its sad)
eunji values jaewon because of what he represents. and how that will look good on her. not once did she seek to empathize with him in any way. i wonder if she was always like this? or if she slowly gained this sense of superiority as she grew up in the age hierarchy that's in their culture? i feel like jaewon did actually like her at one point in their relationship but its so mind-blowing to see the aftermath and try to picture them together and actually working out.

I had a date scheduled tonight and she bailed on me. (Not the first time this has happened to me yay.) We had a lovely chat on Thursday, no red flags, then she disappeared the next day. I thought, fine ppl work and be busy. Now it’s Monday the date we had scheduled. I’ve texted, called but no response. On WhatsApp it says last active Thursday…
Because I’ve been catfished before, (I accept my silly errors then and after that trauma I’ve tried to move forward) I’m extra cautious and know the signs. the first time lasted a long time but after finally trusting my gut, I decided to look at the red flags, and using catfish websites i discovered and confronted the catfish- to which they confirmed. Good times.
Then the second time I can only assume this person was but never confirmed, cause they’d have the classic excuses of ‘don’t have social media or WhatsApp’, never sent vids with their face and kept canceling plans. Plus the classic asking for nudes.
The one after that disappeared after I said: “the pic you sent me you have blue eyes but in your profile their brown?” They deleted their profile. Lol.
Now this one, who I assume just lied about who they are (or straight up died) and thought it’d be funny to have a chat and then leave. I did check online and checked their pic and it looks catfishy.
Why do I have a collection of catfish?
I’m actually tired. I feel like I want to throw up. Then disappear.
Thave no idea why this is happening? How am I finding these shitty people?
l'm a lesbian so it's already rough out here. Then adding fake profiles on dating apps? It's all of them.
How many times must the universe thrust this upon me? l've learnt my lesson. I know when people are lying and what red flags to look out for. But fuck me it's exhausting.
I'll match with someone like once every 2 months and they are fake? Like? It's fucking insane now.
I simply want to have a date with a women who we both have mutual attraction. I want to fucking meet someone.
Women on social media are like dates with women are hard. And l'm like I actually wouldn't know cause can't get past the talking online and actually FUCKING MEETING A GIRL.
I'm a spiritual person and honestly my faith is wavering.
I don't understand why it's happening.
I want to believe that the universe is creating opportunities for me but like? What opportunity is this?
How to loose trust?
If anyone knows plz let me know cause l'm exhausted and want to crawl into a hole and start again.
