I'm really not a villain enjoyer. I love anti-heroes and anti-villains. But I can't see fictional evil separate from real evil. As in not that enjoying dark fiction means you condone it, but that all fiction holds up some kind of mirror to the world as it is. Killing innocent people doesn't make you an iconic lesbian girlboss it just makes you part of the mundane and stultifying black rot of the universe.
"But characters struggling with honour and goodness and the egoism of being good are so boring." Cool well some of us actually struggle with that stuff on the daily because being a good person is complicated and harder than being an edgelord.
Sure you can use fiction to explore the darkness of human nature and learn empathy, but the world doesn't actually suffer from a deficit of empathy for powerful and privileged people who do heinous stuff. You could literally kill a thousand babies in broad daylight and they'll find a way to blame your childhood trauma for it as long as you're white, cisgender, abled and attractive, and you'll be their poor little meow meow by the end of the week. Don't act like you're advocating for Quasimodo when you're just making Elon Musk hot, smart and gay.

The way some people talk about Neil and Todd's relationship make me think we didn't watch the same movie.
Todd didn't ruin Neil nor did Neil become unhappy by being friends with Todd. Todd wasn't a burden to Neil. The reason Neil was so unhappy was because of his father and the expectations of others on him.
Neil doesn't see Todd as "an experience" and I think that claim really undermines Neil as a character. I understand why some people believe that but Neil is a very genuine character and doesn't create bonds with any of the poets "for the hell of it". Neils the type of person to show up at your front door if he hasn't talked to you in 3 days. Watching their scenes together, watching the relationship these characters develop, even the way Todd reacts to Neils death. It shows there's a lot more than what the camera showed us, especially when Todd screams at Cameron about Neil loving acting. Although obviously everyone knows that Neil loves acting, that part alone just showed there's a whole lot more conversation that we missed betweens these characters and whole lot more than an "experience"
TLDR: People mischaracterize the hell out of Neil

Sinner’s Demon Designs vs. Their Human Designs—
I’ll start off by saying I’m not trying to shame anyone or say these design choices are bad-it’s just something I’ve noticed about Helluva Boss’ character design choices that struck me as odd considering Hazbin Hotel’s character designs-specifically the designs of the “Sinners” or characters that were once human.
More than anything I just think it’s interesting, and am trying to examine the character designs from a world-building perspective.
So, since rewatching HB, I’ve realized that the Sinner Versions we see of Human characters are pretty close in design to their Human selves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s very easy to tell these are the same characters. They’re all the same proportions with the same face shapes, and have similar silhouettes. (Critique continues below)
Now, this could change for Hazbin Hotel (and maybe there already are canon human designs for the HH sinners that I couldn’t find?) but in my opinion, most of the designs don’t translate well to what their human forms might have looked like. There’s of course exceptions to this, with the more humanoid demons, but with demons like Angel Dust, Husk, and Sir Pentious, I assume their human forms look almost nothing like their demon selves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think the main reason for this probably boils down to the Hazbin cast having established designs way before the series was created, but I feel this has created a problem where there are SOMETIMES rules for why Sinners look the way they do, and sometimes the designs seem completely random.
I’ve read that the way that sinners are designed is based partially on the way they die, and if that’s true, there doesn’t seem to be any rules or guidelines on WHEN to convey that—Mrs. Mayberry’s sinner form doesn’t particularly hint towards her death in any way in my opinion, but it’s VERY clear that the counselor died via drowning/water.
This wouldn’t be a huge issue on its own, but the creators have stated multiple times that Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel take place in the same universe. The rules for why characters are designed the way they are should be clear visually, but the designs of the Hazbin cast have always seemed random and confusing to me personally.
It looks like the majority of the Hazbin cast are designed after animals, but that’s not always clear either.
I didn’t realize that Angel was supposed to be a spider until I was explicitly told that was what he was, and I thought Alastor was an Owl based character due to his hair looking like a great horned owl’s feather tufts, and because his antlers were so small and dark that I didn’t notice them until I watched the pilot the first time. It’s possible the first drafts of these designs looked more like the animals they’re supposed to be based on, but if you don’t know all of the backstory or haven’t been following the creators, I’m not sure how you’re supposed to recognize these things.
Overall, I don’t think it’s a BAD thing to have a cast of characters that have very different designs, or don’t have very clear design rules for their universe. But in my opinion, having this big of a difference in the Sinner’s character designs when all of these characters are supposed to share the same universe really confuses things.
More than anything though I just found this sort of interesting. I’d be interested to hear more about the process of designing sinner characters, and to see what more sinners look like outside of the main cast that was initially designed several years ago.
Also please don’t send me hate—I like Helluva Boss, and I’ll probably like Hazbin Hotel. I just enjoy critiquing and examining the stuff I like and I’ve been on an HB kick since I rewatched the series recently and while watching this just occurred to me and I wanted to talk about it.

Listen you should absolutely recontextualize characters. The fact that Yosuke was completely reinterpreted as having a veritable battle of the somme going on inside himself with regards to his sexuality? Internalized homophobia that could only be described as life threatening? Excellent. Keep doing stuff like that. Do it to every damn character you find.
That being said, particularly after hitting up tumblr, I've seen a number of debates where someone is criticizing a character as they are presented in canon and someone argues tooth and nail against it and it is very apparent they are basing their opposition to the criticism on the version of a character that has been recontextualized in the fanspace.
Which I can understand evokes a lot of big feelings, particularly for people who kind of need these characters to be different for their own comfort. But I've been on the receiving end (not here yet) of fierce opposition for suggesting that Yosuke being a huge vehicle for gay panic jokes, and this is not considered a source of GENUINE conflict in game, reads as homophobic. People have then argued with me how this is wrong based entirely on arguments from the yosuke constricted by the fandom in the SouYo ship.
But I can't ignore that the Yosuke I was given on screen engages in rhetoric that is actually straight up mean-spirited at best and the root of violence at worst. And Atlus played it to me as a gag. And nothing more, JUST a gag.

This fandom is going to send me to the gallows, but…
Cookie Run Kingdom: Secrets of the Narrative Death Kingdom and The Theater of Wasted Potential
TL;DR: The Beast-Yeast update murdered the story in cold blood and left a cast of cardboard cutouts behind.
So let’s discuss what I like first. I liked Elder Faerie and Shadow Milk, for the most part. They’re really fun characters in an update where 50% of the cast could be killed and nothing would change. (I do have issues with them, however, and that WILL be discussed later.)
The Faerie Kingdom could be really interesting. It feels like a perfect blend of the four ancient kingdoms. Cacaoian solitude, Hollyberrian and Golden indulgence perfectly balanced, and a Vanillian sense of community.
Voice acting was wonderful, too. Props to Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk’s voice actors specifically, I have been saying “silly-vanilly” to myself on repeat.
…alright, that’s it. On to what the update was lacking (everything).
GINGERBRAVE, WIZARD, AND STRAWBERRY
As always, Wizard was my favorite (he’s relatable). Otherwise, why are there three children on a very dangerous mission. They could just NOT be here and everything would play out the same. Pure Vanilla would still collect the shards, the Beasts would still break loose, etc, etc.
Also Gingerbrave poking in on White Lily after she specifically asked to be alone gives me just a little bit of the ick.
MERCURIAL KNIGHT AND SILVERBELL
Cardboard. They are nothing characters. Silverbell is a plot device to get White Lily into the kingdom, and Mercurial Knight does absolutely nothing. Seriously, what does he do.
They tried to do this kingdom’s guard character (think Crunchy Chip, Wildberry, Financier, Caramel Arrow, or Burnt Cheese) without considering anything that made those characters work. Key thing there- they’re actually characters. They have personalities. Mercurial Knight exists to serve the king. Everything else about it was deliberately wiped- it almost feels like Devsis just didn’t want to write his character and this was the solution.
The fact that these two characters are the playable ones and not Carameleon or Elder Faerie makes me upset, legitimately.
CARAMELEON
Another character you could completely remove from the narrative without effect. At least he has a personality, even if that is a little turd.
ELDER FAERIE
…shouldn’t have died. Here we go, here’s the hotter takes.
Elder Faerie’s death was completely unnecessary. The only interesting faerie, who would’ve had some awesome interactions with the ancients (I could go into detail about how he would’ve been a great foil to all of them, and how he was an excellent foil to White Lily), is the one that dies. For what reason? To give White Lily a kingdom and some new powers (that aren’t needed and she doesn’t use).
He gave what little was left of himself to her for no reason. The power he gave her wasn’t even used at the end, she simply sealed the Beasts back into the tree (which they were waking her up to do in the first place). It would’ve worked just as well had he collapsed again and had to have been taken away by the two faeries we do get stuck with (as I said, they’re barely even characters). And he’s DEAD dead, too. He briefly comes back to White Lily in a vision, and then it’s mentioned later that they’re having a feast in his honor (the “late Elder Faerie”). He’s not coming back, at least it’s not implied. One of the cases of wasted potential.
And again, it was all to give White Lily things she did not need, nor were beneficial to her character or the narrative. Him dying didn’t raise the stakes, either. It was conveyed just fine how powerful Shadow Milk was by how he converted the entire kingdom into a circus and game show with only a fraction of his power and no physical body.
SHADOW MILK/THE BEASTS
At the end of BY-E1, I thought that the worst thing Devsis could do with the Beasts is not use them.
At the end of BY-E2, I’m thoroughly disappointed.
Shadow Milk got to run around for a little bit, which ended up not progressing the narrative in any direction at all. We never even got to see the other Beasts. Granted, they’re likely to appear in later updates (if the writers remember they exist- they’ve basically forgotten about the Cookies of Darkness by now), and may even have a similar release framing to the Ancients. That doesn’t mean the way they were utilized now was great.
Don’t get me wrong- I love Shadow Milk. He’s so goofy in a way that still tells the audience that he IS a threat. He’s immensely powerful, and would provide an interesting plot development upon his full release (a likely alliance with Dark Enchantress, seeing how he seems to like her). But him simply being sealed back into the tree… not great.
Alright, if you’ve read this far, hear me out. These are the ones that I’m probably going to get my head on a pike for. If you’re going to be nasty, you’re going to be blocked. Cool? Cool.
PURELILY V FAELILY
Devsis cannot write ships.
PureLily has been teased for FOREVER, and even in an update where the two finally appear together, where the action of collecting soul shards is driven almost entirely by Pure Vanilla’s simping, the two are not together. I genuinely thought we were getting a PureLily confession at the end of BY-E2 with them talking on the bridge, but it’s just another call to action.
I honestly don’t think we’re getting it to be canon anytime soon. Y’all enjoy the little crumbs that is the bond story.
And not to mention FaeLily.
Ignoring all of the outside drama and focusing on what happens in-game, this ship just… suffers. It’s completely nuked in BY-E2.
Elder Faerie and White Lily went from “Please, stay with me, stay by my side” and a note that Strawberry Cookie “think(s they) shouldn’t be reading” to “Continue my legacy.” And, y’know, Elder Faerie dying. Devsis realized they were potentially writing a deviating ship and decided to kill it on sight rather than let it influence the plot. It could’ve made for good characterization for White Lily, Elder Faerie, and Pure Vanilla. What happens when the one thing he’s been holding out for, he’s been chasing, he’s been wanting more than anything, isn’t his? Could that make him more susceptible to Shadow Milk’s lies and trickery? How would that change his dynamic with White Lily? How would it effect the plot going forwards?
Overall, not a great update for shippers unless you thrive on scraps (which, I guess works for this fandom. Y’all thrive on nonexistent ship fuel and honestly? Respect).
WHITE LILY/DARK ENCHANTRESS AND THE GREATER EFFECT ON THE NARRATIVE
…no. Where do I start.
Sorry White Lily fans and Split-Soul enjoyers, this isn’t great. I don’t like White Lily being up and about now. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever and undermines the potency of the story.
What made Dark Enchantress such a great villain, and so terrifying, was that she used to be one of the Ancients, one of the greatest heroes in the history of Earthbread, and was broken so completely that she abandoned her morals, her friends, her everything. She had the power of a Soul Jam somewhere inside her, and if she could learn properly to wield it, it would make Earthbread a habitat of paranoia, waiting for her overtaking.
It also added complexity to both sides of her coin. Yin-Yang. What bad traits were so engrained in White Lily that they overtook her in the oven? Which good traits could potentially remain in Dark Enchantress? What does this mean for her path to redemption? Is it even possible, or will she fall victim to a disease with no cure? If it is possible, how will White Lily mend the bridges she’s burnt? And when it comes to the Beasts, we heard the line of freeing them from both White Lily and Dark Enchantress. Is Dark Enchantress to be feared because she broke into the Faerie Kingdom, or was that a glimpse into the darkness that overtook White Lily?
That’s just not there now. White Lily is all of her good and Dark Enchantress is all of her bad and Beast-Yeast has spent it’s time tearing up what it has laid out over the past three years.
In Odyssey, there was an intense emotional weight that came with Pure Vanilla having to confess that Clotted Cream was telling the truth. In Chapter 10, there was a finality that came with Dark Enchantress telling Pure Vanilla to shove his “self-righteousness back in the oven” when he extended his hand to her. The past three years have told us that like it or not, White Lily isn’t here anymore, and what’s left of her remains deep inside the void of Dark Enchantress’s soul.
But now they’re two different people. Everyone reassures White Lily that Dark Enchantress isn’t her, Gingerbrave even fighting the claim when Shadow Milk points it out in BY-E2. One of White Lily’s voice lines refers to Dark Enchantress as “her creation.” Gingerbrave even tells White Lily that Dark Enchantress manipulated HER to get free, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense if you ask me. It made sense when it was that last little part of White Lily’s soul, dazed and confused, a ghost upon Earthbread, but ultimately Dark Enchantress all the same. How did Dark Enchantress even manipulate White Lily? Or Gingerbrave and Co? She was trapped in a stone and unable to do anything! White Lily’s spirit wandered there looking for answers, and the main five followed her there! And if that really was White Lily, why didn’t she just return back to her body (which shouldn’t be a thing- Dark Enchantress was physically rebaked from White Lily’s original body)?
And I don’t buy the “but White Lily feels bad! She knows it’s her! They talk about how she might go back to the Darkness! They’re two halves of the same whole- neither can be complete as the other exists!” I don’t care. Two halves seems like an excuse to wipe both of any moral grayness, and it doesn’t effect anything else. They’re still both super powerful.
This isn’t the time for White Lily’s return. The best time for White Lily’s return, of course, would be when Dark Enchantress is gone. Narratively, it’s bad. If you want to collect the soul shards and bring White Lily back, fine. But the way to do that best would be to alternate episodes looking for her soul shards with episodes looking for allies in the war- or even combining the two! Recruiting another dragon? Maybe Ananas found a strange stone on the beach! Looking for another Elemental? Fire Spirit seems to like shiny things…
And then, at the END, they’re reunited. Dark Enchantress will be weakened, fighting with herself as White Lily struggles to get free. As she does, before she can regain control of herself, she’s defeated, and White Lily may return.
But no, this is the story we have.
With all the references to her returning to darkness, I hope it’s foreshadowing. The narrative needs an “all is lost” moment because this update played out like an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (right down to the tree, the chaotic deity, the friendship…). If neither can be whole while the other exists, let Dark Enchantress be the reigning identity. Show us how White Lily struggles within her, the war between the two now internal. Let some focus on the Cookies of Darkness and how their interactions with Dark Enchantress will be effected. Hell, make the whole thing topple from the inside out because a little bit of White Lily is showing through.
This “find, recruit, defeat, repeat” pattern has gotten to the point where something needs to change, or the story will suffer even more from it.
Again, if you’re gonna be nasty, you’re gonna be blocked.
I hope you enjoyed the read, thank you for hearing me out.

Cheat Codes To Make A Writer Listen
Merry Christmas and all that. Here's a trendy guide to get writers, especially Indie writers, not to treat your feedback like negative noise!
Actually know what you're talking about
Don't hyper-focus on just the negatives
Don't only appear when you have criticisms
Don't treat their growth and improvements as a repellant
Don't run when people call out real flaws in your critiques
Don't undermine or ignore the good parts
Don't critique if you are literally unable to appreciate the good
Don't forget that it was easier for you to criticize than it was for them to create the story
Doing these things is a surefire way to send the message "Hey, I just wanted to bum you out because your story wasn't 200% what I wanted, and your actual improvement was not the chief priority."
It's not a weakness to acknowledge the strength of the writer when expressing how they can help their weaknesses. Acknowledge their strengths. Acknowledge their strengths. Acknowledge their strengths.

Not to be weird or overly judgmental of other historical fiction media and media that’s target audience is children, but, I really like the way Liberty’s Kids (and TURN ~ obviously though TURN is a historical Amrev drama first and factually correct second, I do seriously recommend the factual book it’s based on of the same name…) but I really like the nuance and ambiguity of the 18th-century and American Revolution in all its aspects without being overly coarse or cynical of the subject matter, each of them give, you can tell it’s written by competent people.

You know, I’m one of those people who’ve read the books. And I honestly wasn’t disturbed by EP5 in the least. 
Well, okay. I am iffy about the Claudia assault situation. I don’t think it was gratuitous (mostly because they didn’t show it), and it does set up a few things: The Fang Gang, who show up in Queen of the Damned. As well as the general idea that other vampires are “not so nice” and that Louis and Claudia have been living in a bubble of protection with Lestat. (Which their eventual journey to Europe will fully show.) But I think there could have been a way to get that point across to Claudia (or at least why she decided to head home to get Louis) without that specific thing happening to her. 
As to the Louis and Lestat fight, no, it didn’t happen in the book. But, I’m sorry, am I supposed to think Lestat wouldn’t be capable of it, if pushed in this way? We are talking about the same Lestat who raped a female waitress in Tale of the Body Thief, right? The Lestat who, in that same book, forcibly turned David Talbot into a vampire against his will in a parallel to that rape of the waitress? “Oh, but he didn’t mean to rape that waitress and felt sorry about it and even tried to help her later!” Yeah, whatever. He still raped her. “Oh, but David forgave Lestat and even admitted that he really wanted the Dark Gift anyway!” Yeah, whatever, he still assaulted David, with David fighting back and saying “no” almost the whole time.
Now yes, in The Vampire Lestat, Lestat says he never showed Louis or Claudia the true extent of his powers. (And he didn’t have the cloud gift in particular at that time anyway). So that whenever he and Louis did fight in any way in Interview with Lestat, we retroactively know Lestat was holding back. But any fights they got into never reached the extent they do in the tv show because Lestat never once was really confronted with the idea that Louis and Claudia were seriously going to leave him. Not like this. 
By the time that was clear, he’d already been dumped in a swamp. 
“But he would never hurt or lay a finger on Louis in that way!” So the gaslighting and emotional abuse/manipulation he did do to Louis during that time was better? Really? Both are still abuse. Hell, Daniel flat-out called it abuse back in EP3.  
Lestat is a fucked up brat prince bastard. Always has been. And in the show, he is basically a walking billboard for Generational Trauma at this point. 
Louis, for his own reasons/issues we’ve yet to learn, has never once said he loved Lestat back, either before or after the turning. And was going to leave Lestat to go with Claudia overseas to find other vampires who he will be vulnerable to and at the mercy of. (Because yes, Lestat is right to try and scare them away from going there to find other vampires for those out there who haven’t read the books. The real issue is he should have just been open and honest about why Europe is dangerous.) Lestat’s fears of abandonment compounded with all of that? Yeah, I get why he snapped.
But out of character to do it? Nope. Not under this circumstance. 
Also, people should remember we are not dealing with young, impetuous Lestat here, as he was in the first book. This time, he lived over 150 years before ever coming to America to live. Which is why he even has powers like the cloud gift in the first place, I’d wager. (My working theory is that he spent most of those years with Marius, but I digress.) He wouldn’t be the exact same as book-Lestat at this point in time just by the very nature of having lived over 150 years doing who-knows-what beforehand. 
I’m not sitting here trying to excuse Lestat’s actions btw. Just analyzing his character and where his POV is on all of this (and if it contradicts the books, which I don’t feel it does). And I suspect we will start to get his POV on all of this by the season's end.  
So yeah. Louis and Lestat aren’t healthy at this point in time. They never were in any iteration of this story. That fight didn’t change my POV on what could happen with them in the future, however. Just that they have a lot more to deal with, and that Lestat has way more issues in this version to work through.

I never really understood this idea that if you enjoy a piece of fiction you want it to keep coming and coming endlessly. No matter how attached I am to a group of characters, if I had the choice I'd always prefer a short but finished concluded piece than something where seasons get added On And On And On And On until everyone is flanderized and the entirety of it falls flat.

...I feel like a lot of the Discourse about disabled artists and the way online art communities treat them ignores a major elephant in the room.
Which is, I feel like nobody talks about how it is profoundly fucked that our disability system; especially in the US; is so profoundly threadbare and broken, that the only visible viable economic option for many disabled people is to struggle at the unstable; cutthroat landscape of commission art, especially if they're stuck in a rural shithole; stuck living with abusive parents; or both!
Like... it's not just me that thinks it's profoundly fucked that nobody's rallying for the SSI Restoration Act half as hard as they are for banning AI art, right?
Despite the fact that the former would be infinitely more immediately and directly impactful for helping disabled artists, instead of the shithead "professionals" who're driving the advocacy for the latter and would throw any disabled artist who relies on derivative works for income into the dirt because "COPYRIGHT SACRED" if it suited them, right?

This will be more of a vent post than it is a critique or review. It’s just something I personally find so agitating and I wanted to talk about it to just get the feelings of my chest.
I hate. And I mean hate. That they named her “Vaggie”
Tumblr media
More below cut/includes slight spoilers from released content and leaked audition sheets.
I just. And please keep in mind that this is all my personal opinion and you’re allowed to think whatever you want. You can love her name and think it’s the most creative beautiful name in the world and that’s fine. That’s your opinion, and that’s great!!
But this is my opinion—V’s name isn’t funny. It’s not creative or clever.
It comes off as trying to be “edgy” or daring, but it just flops. And it’s incredibly frustrating to be sapphic (I’m a lesbian) and to see one of only TWO sapphic characters be literally named after “female” genitalia.
And I wondered for a while if I was just being weirdly picky about this, but if this leak turns out to be real (and I am PRAYING it’s not):
Tumblr media
Then the exterminators, a seemingly entire female group, are named after genitalia. Like. Why? What is the point of having a group of characters being named after genitals??
I have a hard time describing why this makes me so angry and makes me feel so disrespected. I think it’s because:
1. Whether intentional or not, it comes off as reducing women characters to their genitalia.
2. It’s reducing a sapphic (possibly lesbian, but never confirmed) character to her genitals. Again, whether or not this is intended, the writers have made it so that everyone who hears these characters names immediately thinks “oh like Vagina”. This is even a joke in the prequel comics:
Tumblr media
And the FIRST EPISODE:
Tumblr media
Apparently the original character that V is based on was actually named “Vagina” just straight up. Oh but they used a Y. Because. That really makes it unique a cool. (Being sarcastic)
Tumblr media
3. Again. I don’t care if this was the intent or not. But it feels just so so reductive to name a whole GROUP of women characters after different female genital parts. It’s just disrespectful. And again, I don’t think it was meant to be this—but it just? It’s so reductive and just stupid.
Like. I also want to make it clear that I’d be saying the SAME thing as I am now if it was a male character named “Penissy” or “Scrothomas” or some stupid shit. If Angel Dust’s name was like… “Tainty” or “Schlong” or something I would also be frustrated and upset.
Because that would be the same thing. A gay man character reduced to his genitals. Anyway this is done, it’s disrespectful and feels gross and reductive to me.
But I don’t know what I expected because this is the same writing team that thinks a character referring to himself as “The Dickmaster” and saying “dick” 600 times in a row is peak comedy writing. Ugh.
Again, I’m sorry this is more a personal vent than any sort of review or critique. I’m genuinely hoping that the Lute audition sheet is not anything that will show up in the show, and that Clitorissa and Labianne will never see the light of day. It’s just.
It’s not funny. It’s stupid, and annoying, and I hate it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tumblr media
And V deserved to be called by a real name, not a edgy unfunny punchline.

sometimes a piece of media gets praised too much that I loose some appreciation for it (maybe because it raises expectations). The star beast however, is a piece of media which I love more every time I see it criticized on mainstream social media
