there are some things that inherently have a lot of Feeling to me and it's weird realizing that it's not unusual or uncommon for this to not be the case for people but it's also strange because it's hard not to react to things like old floorboards or old brick structures or the interiors of dilapidated houses. like, the self control it takes to not swoon in some sort of overwhelming reverence....what do you mean you don't feel it too

#had to be normal at work yesterday in a brick building #it actually wasn't that old at all! like 1941 one but it was an extremely unique building and i could tell it was built with a lot of inten #dont get me wrong the 1920s sears catalogue houses and buildings are wonderful sometimes #but oh my god the shapes and arches inside #and mid renovation so i could see the floorboards and old dumbwaiter #and strange narrow stairs #stained glass

the only thing that's keeping me from unleashing all 90 nonsensical thought trains in my brain about re1999 lore is the fact that im ruled by this very strict mindset of "if youre gonna do something, do it properly/thoroughly/organized or don't do it at all" which means i get to filter all this nonsense for my writing blog so its neat and cohesive

but it also means that until those posts are finished, im just gonna be seething and violently vibrating bc the information is just in my brain waiting to be released into the wild

#SCREAMS anyway the thoughts are the following #the fact that vertin's spinning wheel which she uses to summon arcanists trascends time and space #because if we're going by times of exhibition. pavia shouldve been the first one to be saved (1990's) but canonically it was regulus #which explains why pavia talks about his mother as if she were alive. because vertin PULLS people regardless of time space continuum #that (and a whole different argument) explains that exhibition dates arent dates of births. theyre the year/era they were taken from #because both matilda and pavia are listed as exhibited in the 1990's #theres 11 years of difference between them. if exhibition date = DOB then it would be impossible #aside from the fact that pavia wouldve had to live up to 2015 AT A MINIMUM to be 25 IF he was born in exactly 1990 #but theres characters who have more than one exhibition dates. such as satsuki or regulus (only in global iirc?) #so perhaps its the time they were acknowledged as arcanists by whatever government was established at the time? #regulus makes sense since “mid 20th century” encompasses 1930-1960. which correlate to the prologue. 1st and 2nd chapters of the main story #satsukis is harder to explain. since the times listed are just 1910s and 1920s. but it perhaps relates to her story? since she is trying #very hard to leave her past life as a thief behind #people also complain about sweetheart being 17 because 'she doesnt look 17' and since shes based on marilyn monroe she 'must be older' #sweetheart was exhibited in the 1930's. marilyn monroe was born in 1926. more proof that sweetheart was 17 at the time she was summoned #AND that exhibition dates ARENT DOB

Alright here's my full (possibly hot) take on redesigning Hazbin Hotel characters and making a video showcasing those redesigns while you criticize the official designs.

First and foremost, you are redesigning someone else's OCs. Hazbin Hotel is, in essence, a passion project for Viv. How she talks about it makes that incredibly clear to me. The only difference between Hazbin Hotel and, for example, the story I'm developing surrounding some of my D&D OCs is that Hazbin Hotel got picked up by a streaming service and is significantly more popular than most passsion projects get.

Personally if someone wanted to redesign my D&D OCs, I wouldn't mind it, in fact I'd probably think it was really cool that someone would want to redesign one of my OCs to be closer to their tastes in terms of what they like to draw. I would, however, be made incredibly uncomfortable if someone made a video redesigning them where they also pointed out everything they thought was wrong with the designs. I didn't design these specific D&D characters to be 1-to-1 accurate to their classes in D&D or to look professionally designed. I designed them how I wanted them to look for the story I'm telling because I don't plan to ever play them in a campaign. The main character Avlan is a paladin, and I can acknowledge that his design might not look exactly like a paladin. One of the tabaxi in the story (Ice) is a bard and the other (Spark) is a ranger, and I acknowledge that their classes might not come across well in their designs. The single tiefling I've designed for this story (Tragedy) is a cleric but might not come off as one in their design. But I specifically designed them to be easy for me to draw because I want to be able to tell this story through my art. Having someone say "oh, Avlan's armor isn't paladin enough!" or "Avlan's fur colors and patterns should be closer to a wild rabbit's because harengon shouldn't be based on domestic rabbit colors!" would fucking hurt (especially because I'm so attached to Avlan, but it would hurt just as much if similar comments were made about Ice, Spark, or Tragedy). I am so passionate about these characters and being told their designs are bad or wrong in some way would be like a stab in the heart, and it would still feel like a stab in the heart if this story ever got a massive fandom behind it. Giving Avlan more complex armor because you think it'd look cool or just want to see what it'd look like? Sure, if I could draw more complex armor I'd give him more complex armor too. Giving him more complex armor but also shitting on the armor I decide to draw him with? My motivation to draw him in his armor, potentially draw him period, would be dead for WEEKS.

Why is it suddenly okay just because someone's passion project was picked up by Amazon Prime? Why is it suddenly okay to be "fixing" someone's character designs just because the project has a much bigger budget than most artists get and is on a popular streaming service? It's not. I don't care if you're a professional character designer, or think a specific character would look better with certain traits, or just don't like the character designs.

Hazbin Hotel is still Vivienne Medrano's passion project, and redesigning her characters and making videos talking about everything you think is "wrong" with them is, honestly, disgusting. You can make videos explaining your choices in your redesigns without putting down the designs that already exist, whether you like them or not. Me thinking Lucifer looks better with his tail not restricted to his full demon form doesn't suddenly mean I don't like his official design, because I fucking love it. If you wouldn't do it to an artist whose passion project is just a webcomic here on Tumblr, don't fucking do it to an artist whose passion project got picked up for a cartoon by a big streaming service (or any company for that matter).

#hazbin hotel #vent #kinda #i just think it's a weird double standard #'yeah don't fix people's art! unless theyre working on a project that was picked up by a big company then it's fine to fix their art' #like??? #why is that a mentality that exists?? they're still viv's characters #and you can still redesign them without shitting on the official designs #pretty much all of my redesign notes for hazbin hotel are 'how can i make this character easier and more fun for me to draw' #because i specialize in furry art. i don't usually draw humanoids lol #so giving vox some shark traits for example or making adam more birdlike would make them more fun for me to draw #why can't we redesign them based on that without saying 'i think it's weird that this decision was made for this character's design' #they're still viv's characters. they're still her designs. stop pointing out everything you think is wrong with them for fucks sake #we don't need to talk about hazbin's character designs. we don't need to 'fix' them #just say they aren't for you and move on. there's literally nothing inherently wrong with them #i also feel like not enough people actually do research into the historical contexts of some characters #and i think it'd be really fuckin cool to see people redesign characters more based on headcanons based on that than anything #look into how the mafia operated in new york in the early/mid 1900s for angel. look into radio hosts in the 1920s for alastor. #look into las vegas culture during husk's lifetime for husk. look into the culture surrounding tv hosts in the 1950s for vox. #LOOK INTO THE CULTURE OF THE ELIZABETHAN ERA FOR ZESTIAL. #(i just presented zestial ideas to anyone who wants them on a silver platter. you're welcome) #(also new headcanon that zestial was friends with shakespeare in life because why the fuck not) #(when the tags get wildly out of hand)

started playing the updated version of motr last night. not super far in it but having more time is definitely a pretty big game changer. it was really weird to make a game thats supposed to be introducing characters and new playets to this complex world, but explicitly give them no invitation to linger in it.

theres been some changes in dialogue i think?? although it's hard to tell, of course. theres still the implication that you're a london native, which is funny bc my character very much is not (shes american!! from new jersey!!!) but ah well. tbh i wouldn't have a problem with your character being british and christian if they just said so explicitly in character creation. at least for you being British, they could have said in the backgrounds descriptions where youre from. like "your family were tailors IN LIVERPOOL" or something. i just think that would make it gel a little better. but i have more thoughts on that kind of thing that should probably go in their own post

anyway ill report back as i play more to see how the changes feel!!! they still ask you if you wanna fuck every character you meet, but i know they said in their news post that they're gonna look at that for the next patch, but they wanna see how having twice as much time impacts things

we'll see!! im having a lot more fun this time, but that might also be because im playing it with my qpp, and i love the voice they gave mr pages

#its like. really high and nasal with a very flat affect. serving 'cartoon alien' and i love it #also they gave griz a voice thats like. 1920s fast talking reporter girl. mid Atlantic accent and everything

When you need to know when everything (books, films, TV shows, stuffed animals, clothes, coins, etc.) was made; so you end up inadvertently becoming an expert on dating media and objects just by looking at them for a few seconds.

#I can precisely tell when a film was made judging by the audio and visual quality alone half the time #And if that doesn’t work; I can cheat and look at the camera angles and costume design #I want to be able to do the same thing with books… I kind of can #but not as well #However: Hardcover novel with plasticized cover over a really dry-feeling paper two-tone cover = late 1980s — early 1990s #Bantam books with yellowed pages that smell like potpourri = 1960s — mid 1970s #Large sturdy paperback book with thick pages designed to lay flat on a table = 1970s #idk there’s something about the lettering too that allows me to clock them before even looking at the publication date #Fragrant clothbound with scuffing = 1920s — 1940s

i think that david and dwayne genuinely don’t know what credit/debit cards are because they both became vampires and started living in secluded small-town cave before they became widely used

#i hc that david was turned somewhere in the mid 1920s and dwayne in the mid 1930s #and they moved to santa carla in the 40s post-wwii #the lost boys #tlb #kate’s bad takes
