Art Therapy

I can’t believe this, but despite all the writing I have to do, I ended up finishing the first chapter of my fic for Wallace and Willard that I made ages ago.

So uuuh here!

Lemme know what you think

In my heart I believed Alastor found a way to cheat in that game against Husk

I’d like to add onto these thoughts a bit. I’ve also seen a lot of Husk only ever taking care of Angel or only ever being his caretaker before a partner, and I’m reminded of something a stranger at a car wash I was waiting the rain out in told me.

“He can put out his own cereal, and sometimes he can also put out yours.”

Basically, Angel is a big boy who can (mostly) take care of himself, but if he and Husk were in a relationship they would compliment and help each other. It would never be fully one sided. At times 50/50, 70/30, 40/60, whatever, but Angel wants to stand on his own two feet. I personally feel that part of his most positive arch would involve him learning to do more for someone else, too. Domesticity and stability over the highs and lows he had involves work I think he’d want to do. For his sake, for Husk’s sake.

Sometimes I think we get caught up in fantasy stereotypes, that we don’t get to fully enjoy the nuance of the characters we’re actually shown on screen. Angel can be high femme anything and still get out Husk’s cereal. Husk can pick him up bridal style and later Angel try to do the exact thing with him while laughing at Husk’s embarrassment. He can be thoughtful of Husk’s needs just as much as Husk is his. That’s a gorgeous, beautiful balance.

There’s this consistent trend I see in Hazbin fan content where it’s popular to portray Angel as beautiful, dainty, needy, and wanting to be saved. Meanwhile Husk is essentially the tall and forceful knight in shinning armor, whisking Angel off his feet and always being there to rescue him.

I’m not saying this is always bad- it’s cute! It’s fun, but because it is such a common trope within this fandom, I feel compelled to ask if that’s what we think of Husk and Angel.

Do we think of Angel as a damsel in distress? The eight foot tall mobster spider? The “I can handle myself, baby,” guy? The one who grew closer to Husk through a combination of respect and blood?

Angel needs help, but he does NOT want to be rescued. His femininity being used as a reason to pity him and see him as weak is exactly what he would hate and borders on a disturbing view of femme presentation as a whole.

Husk, on the other hand, is 1. Not tall 2. Not a knight in shining armor 3. Not always going to be the one doing the saving.

Literally gets saved in episode four by Angel before they end up fighting back together! They’re good for one another, they’re friends, they’re partners.

They’re losers on equal footing in this point in their life. Whittling them down to the expected stereotyped of masculine and feminine personally rubs me the wrong way, especially since I feel Hazbin Hotel excels at going against those exact types of expectations.

Obviously continue to have fun and make the content you want to see, I’m some dickhead online, i wrote this out as a way to vent from the feelings surrounding all of this. See yah.

He’s so bad your honor

I’ve been studying Tarzan art and adding what I’ve learned to draw fanart of other stuff. Some very quick rough sketches of Hazbin Hotel characters I might finish later!

Well shit.

If this gets one (1) like I will draw various Kaiji and Akagi characters in the Kakegurui uniforms (skirt variant)

"My gaze has lingered on him for quite a while."

[Saw the HSR dance and had to paint the two. Might do a follow-up for the second part of the dance.]

Some Kaiji art for a holiday art exchange~

I cant explain
