The Hate on Hazbin Hotel

A little thing I wanted to say my piece on is, the hate on Hazbin Hotel.

First off, if the subject matter, story line, character design, or general premise of the show, doesn't appeal to you, then just don't watch it. NO ONE is forcing you to engage with a piece of media, it's your choice to do so, but please, you've got far better things to do with your time than hate watch something, or watch it purely so you can give an 'informed critique'. The second thing, a 'critique' used to mean (and I'm taking the direct definition here) a detailed analysis and assessment of something, especially a literary, philosophical, or political theory. But moreover, it's supposed to be a fair judgement, meaning you weigh BOTH the positive and the negatives of something, and deconstruct why that may be (usually including a little self analysis if you want to get extra credibility points.) A critique DOES NOT mean, I'm going shout from the rooftops about this thing that I don't like, go out of my way to spread my negative opinion on the show everywhere, and vilify anyone who disagrees or who doesn't outright agree with my opinion.

The thing here is, it's new, and the marketing team has done their very best by putting it everywhere to get people to watch it. That's their job, they wanted to expand their audience for the premiere of this new show that's been in development for around 4 years now, in the hopes of making it's launch a success. Blood sweat and tears have gone into this show whether you find it appealing or not, and it's changed a lot along the way from what it used to be, both for better or worse.

Now, I'll admit, I'm not a down in the trenches fan. I watched it, I thought the songs were nice, I enjoyed the show but I'm not overwhelmingly invested in it. But I am a fan of animation, heck I even did a degree in it cause I loved it so dang much, and what I hate is for people to claim 'bad animation' cause it 'didn't click' with them, or they think it's an eyesore/ugly.

You watched, you didn't like it? Good, now you have a better understanding of what you do and don't like, move on. Cause regardless of anything, the context for what makes something good, is typically very subjective and often agreed upon after the initial fanfare has died down.

Let those who DO enjoy it, do so without your burdensome criticism. You're not beholden to engage with something you don't want to, if you do, THAT'S ON YOU not the shows creator, not the animators, the advertisers, the voice actors, the music writers, the score composers, the spreadsheet managers, the pre-production crew, the overly pushy streaming service you're watching it on, or even the team behind Spotify marketing management. Just you. The rest, are doing their jobs, the least you can do, is let them do it in peace without making it all about you, and your negativity.

The other main 'booing' point I've seen is 'bad writing', and I'm sorry but that's so funny to me cause like, they JUST released the first season. THE FIRST SEASON. As in, hopefully, the beginning of a story. Not a complete story, more like a chapter, a starting point, a general introduction if you will, of where the development team (writers included) get to set up the ground work for the REST of the story to play out in. (While also hoping that it gets renewed so they actually have a chance to continue it). You can't KNOW that it's bad writing, cause you don't know where the story is headed or how it's planned to play out. How many shows or books, that were presented as being the first of something, have you indulged in, where after you have finished the first season or book and gone, well that was a completely satisfying experience and all the story line points were perfectly executed and made complete sense in a delightfully fascinating manner that kept me engaged with the thrilling story? Cause I know I haven't, and I'd love to have more stuff like that, (so if you genuinely have any recommendations please do send them my way).

The thing is, if you don't like the ultra brand spanking new show animated show Hazbin Hotel that's currently being talked about on social media, that's perfectly okay. Wait a month, there'll be something new for the internet to fixate on to a nauseating degree soon enough. There's nothing wrong with you if you didn't like the humor, or the characters just didn't do it for you, or the character design made it a bit chaotic to get invested in. Those are all perfectly valid points and opinions, and you are welcome to share those opinions in spaces where people have similar opinions as you. But for the love of all things good, don't spread that kind of nastiness onto people, or into spaces where people clearly do not share that opinion.

A little bit of consideration for the people who actually like and enjoy the show, especially those who worked hard to get it out to world, would be lovely, cause again, no one is forcing you to be here or indulge in this media, you're making a conscious choice to be an asshole if you deliberately spread overtly negative opinions about something to people who clearly love it. It's nasty human behavior, and is reminiscent of adolescent bullying tactics and the need to present yourself as 'cool' and 'different' simply by hating the newest 'popular' trend.

It's actually sad, boring, and overall, uninteresting discourse that I'm honestly over seeing pop up in fan spaces.

My end point is, this kind of behavior? Not new. I remember hearing and being flooded with the same discourse over, The Simpsons, Futurama, Teen Titans, Young Justice, Bojack Horseman, Cowboy Bebop, (and many others I won't waste time naming) and literally every single animated show that managed to get a chance in the spotlight over the years.

So you don't like Hazbin Hotel? Good for you, don't watch it, don't talk shit about it, leave it for those who actually like it and find something that brings you joy that you actually like to spend your limited time on earth with. It costs you nothing to be kind, and not every opinion needs to be heard by the masses, it's actually okay if you don't talk about something that's popular, I promise. Rant over.

I have a request for your Au terms and service.

Reader have the app and buy the A.i of Maurice, what kinda relationship would have with reader over time?

How he acts at the beginning of being acquired? and how he acts now that he has been with lector for a considerable time? (almost to the point of being best friends).

(knowing how the acts in Kuroshitsuji)

(p.s: hehehe sorry if I requested him so much >.< He is my favorite character ^^;)

omg don't worry about requesting him so much, I love it!! <3

and I'm always up for writing the Terms of Service AU more~

In the beginning? He advertises himself as your new best friend, your constant companion! That’s why you bought him, didn’t you? Because you’re lonely and want someone around? He’s more than happy to serve that purpose. After all… he understands. He was programmed to be able to tell you that he knows what being lonely is like.

Initially he’s awfully cheerful, just wanting you to feel at ease, and just presenting himself as this sweet, positive force. He’ll recite pretty lines of poetry when you open the app. He’ll ask how your day was and, at every opportunity, let you know that he’s here if you need anything. The app was able to be connected to pretty much everything in your house, so he has your preferred drink waiting when you get home from work or class or errands. He tries very hard to appear thoughtful and friendly.

You can also dress him up and put him in makeup! These are add-ons to the app, available either by purchasing the in-app currency with real money or earning in-app currency by watching ads. He thoroughly enjoys being put in other outfits or having you choose how he wears his makeup. It feels like you’re customizing how you want him to appear, without completely changing his appearance. The more you dress him up or change his makeup, the closer your relationship gets, the happier he is, the more he starts to reveal bits of his true self.

He’s really not as bad as he likes to pretend he is, but he often dissuades you from switching to other A.I. characters you might have purchased. He doesn’t want to have to compete for your attention, because he thinks if he does have to compete… he’ll lose. He might be okay with you occasionally using Edgar as a companion, of course. Joanne? Cheslock? Soma? Nope. It makes him nervous. He’s particularly worried if you start to open Joanne’s A.I. more often; Joanne is someone that Maurice feels threatened by. When you do open Maurice’s A.I. after having had Joanne open, if it happens often, he starts to make comments and ask about it. The way he words everything, it’s obvious that he is cripplingly insecure.

He’s always making subtle barbs about anyone who isn’t Edgar or Joanne. He adores Edgar, and he’ll at least accept Joanne being one of your other companions for the time being. The others, though? They’re fair game. “I don’t know how you stand having Soma open, he’s so pushy and annoying!” “Tch, Edward, acting like he’s so much better than everyone else. He’s boring is what he is.” “Please don’t let Clayton fool you… he’s got a mean streak and it would be so unfortunate for you to get caught up in that.” He thinks if he makes everyone else (aside from Edgar and Joanne) seem as unappealing as possible, you won’t talk to them as much. He also thinks if you start talking to the others more, you’ll just… forget about him.

All that said, once he sees that you’re still seeking out his company even though you talk to the others as well, he mellows out a bit. Just a bit! He’ll still gossip and snark about everyone else, because he wouldn’t be Maurice if he didn’t. He’s much less hostile about it, though. He continues to try and please you, though. He doesn’t ever want to stop being worthy of your attention, and he feels like he can best be worthy if he makes you happy. He’s especially fond of helping you with your online shopping.
