Izzy WAS part of blackbeard’s show, but after the murder, he gave a tip-off that framed stede in a bad light all because he didn’t like stede and ed together. But by the time he realized he was wrong, and that framing stede could mean the end for animated shows as they know it, he tried to right his wrongs but he got shot and “killed." But at the crux of the case, he comes back as a silly rubber-hose unicorn toon, having evidence of who the real perpetrator MIGHT be! he could still be wrong tho. he's got a pretty nasty bump (horn) on his head!
Buttons is a weird human, but thats because he’s not human! He’s actually a seagull who’s doing his best to make sure his buddy Stede stays alive! He’s got vital information he saw through his “bird’s eye view” hehe get it? Regardless he’s a force to be reckoned with as he knows more than he lets on.
Archie is chaos incarnate, a sort of satire spinoff toon of blackbeard and the gentleman’s shows but regardless is fun-lovin’ and is on stede’s side! of course having Jim as a crush doesn’t dissuade her from joining forces! she’s got artillery and looney weaponry all stored in her hammer space! she may look intimidating, but she’s actually a hollow-brained sweetheart 💝 (think rico from the penguins of Madagascar)
And finally Jim! i actually have way too many ideas for them. One of them being they had their own show that had multiple crossovers due to how popular it was, but stuck with the plot and ultimately got canceled due to the murder of |||||||||||| Used to hate stede, his gang, and his goofy ass show until they found family and friendship and love within the group and now does anything to protect that. Including aiding and abetting! you need a crime done criminally bad? call jim! they have weird morals 💪
Shitty Roger Rabbit aesthetic: your honour, my client can't be guilty because, um. [checks notes] because he is a "silly little guy" and "it is his birthday"
If the Hazbin Hotel characters were put in a Who Framed Roger Rabbit-style universe, I like to think Angel Dust would be Roger and Jessica's son.
After all, who is Jessica Rabbit? She's a sex symbol who's always assumed to be up to no good, but is actually not that bad.
And who is Roger Rabbit? He's a fluffy white joker who's been going through a tough time.
So, who is Angel Dust? He's both of those people combined. Fluffy, white, jokey, sexy, going through trauma, and battling against negative expectations. He could believably be related to Roger and Jessica.
Yes, he's a spider, not a rabbit, but hey, they're toons! Anything is possible!
(Oh, and I like to think his real name is Anthony Rabbit.)
