Hazbin Hotel Season 1 Finale Thoughts
Honestly, didn't know entirely what to expect going into this. For some reason I remember enjoying the Helluva Boss pilot more than Hazbin Hotel, so I was surprised when the first 4 episodes dropped and I was hooked. I have many thoughts, and a few theories? Kinda curious what others think. (Haven't done something like this before so sorry if it's rambly/dumb.)
I don't have as much to say about episode 7, but there were some standout moments. This episode helped tie 6 and 8 together well with the amount of content they both covered. Songs were all pretty good, the final one was probably the best of the bunch but I'd have to rewatch. I'm not sure anything can top Stayed Gone or Hell's Greatest Dad for me though (unless Alastor and Vox have another duet).
-Alastor. Need I say more? I mean he's clearly up to something, and he made a deal with Charlie to help him in the future. Is this because of the deal HE made before that Husk mentioned? Maybe if Charlie is more powerful than the one he made the original deal with she can break it? Idk, but seems important. Sus behavior, but he does it with such style I can't be mad.
-I really loved how they didn't dwell on Charlie and Vaggie's relationship issues too much, just enough. Like it wasn't drawn out to the point of, okay we get it, you're hurt just talk it out. They had reasons to feel the way they did, but they do truly love eachother so ultimately it worked out. Rosie's talk with Charlie was refreshing. Speaking of..
-ROSIE. Rosie is so sweet! I had no idea what to expect from her, but she's great! Her and Alastor's friendship was nice to see. Very different than the one he has with Mimsie, but he seems quite fond of them both. Honestly the entire cannibal town I liked way more than expected. Susan's antics were a highlight, even Alastor made a comment about Susan. Charlie losing her cool with Susan also made me laugh out loud.
-Carmilla instantly knowing Vaggie was an exorcist was so amusing, because she basically listed all the points fans theories did as reasons for that being the case. Their dance/battle practice was very well choreographed, and I liked the song.
Okay Episode 8.
-Vox's commentary throughout the episode was so damn funny. (I love him, he's so pathetic.)
-I saw some saying that including the before battle scene was bad for pacing but I couldn't disagree more. I'm glad we got to see all the main crew interact in the hotel before shit went down. Angel's chill convo with husk, the maniacal laughter shared between Nifty and Alastor, and Sir Pentious trying and (mostly) failing to rizz up Cherry Bomb. Glad she was included in the fight, makes sense for her character and friendship with Angel.
-The "More than Anything" reprise (along with events in episode 7) helped me appreciate Charlie and Vaggie's relationship a lot more. I think we just needed more time with them.
-The entire fight segment was.. well it was alot but I liked it! I like how we got see how different members of the cast fight in their own way (meanwhile the Vees are eating popcorn). The comentary about the angelic weapons being what can damage them was funny.
-Vox's reaction to Alastor and Adam facing off made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair. I had to pause the episode for like, 5 minutes. I don't know how I can ever recover from Vox's reaction to Alastor being "Oh fuck, I'm so hard right now." Shit was hilarious.
-I didn't think we'd see Alastor and Adam face off, but actually, that makes a lot of sense. While Charlie should be more powerful, she hadn't used her powers from what we'd seen. (more on that in a bit)
-"I'm about to end your fucking life" went so hard. That line didn't have to go so hard.
-I thought Alastor was gonna die for a sec, I should have known better. But I was still traumatized.
-Sir Pencious. The true rizz master. If not for one other, he may have been the MVP, but he certainly had the most heart. He even got to confess, good for him. Very glad he got redeemed, maybe we will still see him around. Sera and Em's reaction to seeing him was hilarious/precious.
-Lucifer appears to save the day! I wasn't sure if we'd see him but thank goodness we did. Charlie and her dad both ended up fighting to save those they love. His beef with Adam was hilarious, and super valid.
-"It's fuck you UP, Dad" Charlie whispers while everyone else looks at Lucifer with confusion.
-Nifty the true MVP. We should give her a giant flyswatter asap, for a certain moth.
-Honestly wasn't expecting Adam to die . That really caught me off guard. I guess Lute is now in charge of the exorcists, so it'll be interesting to see how that plot line continues (obviously with Lilith, which I will bring up later). Doubt this would happen, but it would be hilarious if Adam respawned in hell as a sinner for everything he's done.
-Finally, Charlie get's some positive press for her hotel and friends.
-"Charlie told me to stab, so I did".
-I loved seeing the team rebuilding the hotel, they're bonding! The memorial for Sir Pentious, and either razzle or dazzle was a nice touch. I will miss Sir Pentious's chemistry with the group, I hope he's able to visit.
-I watched the QnA with Vivzie, and Charlie and Alator's VA's. They mentioned Alastor has alot more going on and based on that final scene with him, and the deal he made with Charlie, I see Alastor playing a much more active role next season. He's very bothered by "the constrains of his deal". Possible villain arc? Hell he could be the final big bad (prob not), but as long as it involves Alastor it'll be entertaining. Meaning he can't double die. I would be devastated.
-I normally don't get into shipping, and I may be biased (fuck you Val) but in all seriousness I still can't see Vox and Val as anything more than friends with benefits. Mostly because I don't think Val is capable of anything more than that. That and Vox is a pathetic lonely man who thinks Alastor ran off again, and possibly died. Velvette will def be using that image for blackmail. This isn't really a point, I just had an urge to bring it up. (realizing as I type this that the Vox tag will be filled with Val as well for a while. Definitely need that oversized flyswatter lmfao also Vox having a functional tongue is... well that's information.)
-Is Alastor's mic permanently broken? I noticed his voice didn't have a filter right after, but I think it returned during the song. I thought I remebered reading that was part of him, so how does that work? Can it heal? Does he lose some power?
- Can't wait to see how Vox reacts when he finds out Alastor is ALREADY back lmfao and don't think I didn't notice THIS IMAGE.
Tumblr media
Cause that's def an old picture of Alastor and Vox and I need answers. Not only that, Alastor allowed a picture to be taken with him in it, no static. Is Vox the only reason Alastor is so against cameras? I love whatever is going on between those two, even if I don't fully understand it (other than Vox having a hate boner). Whatever it is, their beef isn't nearly over yet, and with the Vees seemingly wanting to take over, things should get very interesting.
-Lilith what the hell. Why are you chillin on a beach in heaven, what have you been up to? She clearly knows about the exterminations and everything going on. Now apparently to stay in heaven, she has to help stop Charlie?? What is Lute planning here?
Anyway, those are my very disorganized thoughts about the finale. I'm excited for Season 2. Anyway, if you will excuse me, I have some things to draw, and stuff. Probably Vox and Alastor. Probably.

Criminal Minds 2x19:
'Ashes and Dust'
Reactions/Commentary Below The Cut
Good job waking them up kid! I just hope you all don't die!
Where were they in the house they couldn't just break a window and climb out, geezus? They should have just broken a window, damn.
Those eyes. Might be familiar. But the back of the guy's head didn't look like the guy I wondered about at first. I'll see if I'm wrong.
----
Oh the mother survived? Damn. The poor family. Damn. Sad, but not the thing that has bothered me the most.
----
Damn this arson guy is great. Even pulled his records.
----
That's so kind of Hotch. I'm glad he knew she needing someone with her, and that he was willing to be that someone. He was right to lie to her.
----
The fire was at the windows in their room too? I didn't notice that.
----
Honestly Gideon, I think Hotch compartmentalizes better than you.
----
Sociopaths interact with people, they're extroverts. They might be slightly introverted, but never entirely. Social chameleons. No really loners. At least that's all my understanding.
A psychopath might be more like that, but even better at blending in, but I haven't done as much looking into them.
I really hate them getting these two DISORDERS wrong.
----
Ugh, I don't like trapped deaths. And fire deaths.
Those eyes really do seem like one particular actor, but from behind doesn't look right. And his body shape doesn't exactly look right. Again, could be wrong. I'll find out later.
----
Ok, yeah not the actor who's eyes I was reminded of.
Oh fuck, he's gonna Molotov a random guy.
He threw it into water, but I'm sure that was actually accelerant for the stunt.
----
No wonder he couldn't pay child support, he was probably paying for treatment.
Anti chemical companies (or whatever) this episode. Nice.
Who are you calling...? Did you warn him? To call him to take care of him because he believes he's his responsibility? Oh, because he wants to use him. Or, that's what he's saying. Annnnd Hotch agrees.
He's fine with them both going out together, he's dying anyway. He knows he wants to kill him too. He would be a hell of a profiler.
----
Poetic ending. I could handle it because of that. Felt more like art than a story.
