I was really in the mood to do some masquerade fanart, but I didn’t feel like coming up with anything original, so here’s some of my favorite (...slightly paraphrased) bits from the first part. I don’t know where it’s going, but it’s pretty fun so far!
also one that isn’t canon except in my heart:
(disclaimer that this is a Joke)
(he is a horrible little rat man, but to be fair, so is everyone else)
(if you don’t like horrible little rat men why are you even playing this game)
🪞 Fallen angel... who do you see staring back from the Mirror? 🪞
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Galacta Knight and my personal interpretation of his Mirror World counterpart. GK hovers above facing slightly to our left, his feathery wings spread wide, shaded in lilac and tipped with gilded wing talons, a swallow-like tail visible. He holds his shield forward in his left hand (our right) and his lance to the side in his right (our left), a single magenta eye leering at the viewer through the visor of his mask. A halo of heart spears floats and shines angelically behind his horns. Below him, M!GK hovers in the same pose but flipped horizontally and without the halo. Visually, M!GK has mostly the same features as GK, with his color palette being darker and less saturated (dusty purple body, dark gray armor, gray mask, maroon lance, rose-gold horns and weapons accents). His eyes are not visible in the shadow of his mask, but there are signs of erosion running down the metal surface in rusty orange lines, almost like tear tracks. Instead of feathery wings, M!GK has wings composed of jagged shards of pink crystal, glittering and lit from within by a luminous glow. A few pale feathers can still be seen peeking out from his back. END ID.)
Hey, so... what if... I went a little insane for a minute? What if I just... concepted a character... for the sequel... to an AU... I've told no one about... and haven't even finished writing yet? What if I then... pulled the salt shaker labeled "ANGST" out of the pantry and just... unscrewed the cap all over this poor lad? Oh, and Galacta Knight's here, too, I guess.

Comparison from Amazon Primes less then 1million dwindling viewership despite thinking she would have a larger audience going with Amazon, it hurt her more given that the company is more interested in promoting invincible, the boys, and good omens content more to suppress and hurt the fact that hazbin comes out in January, A24's website and email subscription are radio silent as well :x doesn't help that happy day in hell is a terrible opener and they should have just stuck to the original casting....
If I saw these numbers deflate this hard in viewership I would be terrified. People are more interested in the merchandising and shit post songs rather then your actual series :'D
She's so desperate for views that people are only coming for again, the character design appeal and the really terrible songs.... yikes she couldn't even clear halfway through season 2 without jumping the shark for merchandise..... remind me how she's independent?
THIS POST WAS MADE PRE-AMAZON HAZBIN HOTEL SERIES RELEASE AND WAS A COMPARISON IN DWINDLING VIEWRSHIP OF THE FIRST WEEK OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL BEFORE ITS RELEASE. DON'T GET IT TWISTED<3
Something that's really irritating me about the Off-White doll is that when you look at the concept art, she has 0 monster features aside from her green skin. Her monster type was such an after thought, and that's why its so poorly reflected in her design. Like she's supposed to be a fish (I think) where are her scales? Where are her fins? For such an expensive doll, I expected more than just a reused face mold, and a very easily recognizable one at that.
Her concept art really looks like a pale Casta Fierce. And honestly, I would probably like her more if that was the direction they took. Instead of being completely new, lazily designed characters, they could have done something like "Casta Fierce modelling for Off-Fright" or something, and added a witchy twist to the actual Off-White look. I mean, it would still be grossly overpriced, but I guarantee she'd sell better, especially considering Casta only ever got one doll. And it would've been SO PERFECT for an October Friday the 13th release.
Okay so Ceratophrys themselves are pretty great (all round frogs are good frogs), but have you heard of PROceratophrys?

Some species are just like Ceratophrys, but with eighteen times the eyebrow.
Like, honestly?

Whose idea was this?
Interestingly, even though they're called PROceratophrys, they're not even in the same family (Odontophrynidae versus Ceratophryidae), and are separated by over 60 million years. Proceratophrys are more closely related to bufonid toads and hylid tree frogs than they are to Ceratophryidae!
