love when people draw the besties/roomies and grian is drawn in such a way that he looks like either their pet falcon or like they could punt him like a football or both

Something about Grian joining the cletho alliance late, being a frequent third wheel to them, and being called out by name as the least trustworthy (and agreeing), barely seeing them for the first half of the finale as he focused on getting traps and kills... But then when things really started going down Grain was by their side to the end. Even after Etho was out, Grian still stuck to Cleo's side and didn't leave until he was forced away and backed into a corner and killed

I personally think it's really funny that Cleo and Etho, from Grian's perspective are framed way more normal than they are ... like I'll watch one of their POVs and they're insane and silly it's like he walks in the room and they transform

#ITS LIKE IN PARTICLES WHEN YOU OBSERVE THEM #idk anyone else feel this way? #i just think they're neat #and its so funny #secret life spoilers #the way i couldnt tell either of their tasks up until i watched anothwr piv #ethoslab #zombiecleo #grian #secret life #quantum besties

im so well about ethos death

"im going home everybody, im dying in my home"

he ran away from his friends to keep them safe on both deaths. (all he knows how to do is run, but this time he can use it to protect). and he just wants to die with some reminded of them. that yes, he wasn't a survivor this time, he stayed and he protected. he was loyal and he built a home for his allies and they were safe. but he couldn't get through the door.

jack and janet drake were honestly so revolutionary for creating an only child that was a middle child from birth

#tim drake #dc #batfam #forget about all the angst takes on this. instead consider: tim being the only kid to encourage bruce to adopt more kids #so that he'll have even more weird and outlandish siblings #that are going to totally overshadow the insane bullshit he's getting up to behind the scenes #tim: hmmm i need to go off-planet to violate intergalactic laws with the besties for a week but i don't want bruce on my ass about it #tim: [nudging damian in the direction of an unethical zoo and coincidentally showing cass a zebra-sized secret passage into the manor] #tim: [stealing something from jason's safehouse and framing dick for it] #tim: [watching the resulting carnage/shenanigans] yeah that should do it #claims he became robin to improve batman's mental state. makes bruce's life more chaotic anyways. #spins speaks

Why yes I'm completely normal about Joel being Grian's go-to guy for hearts. Yes I'm also fine with the fact that Joel admits he would help Grian with anything. Oh? Jimmy got assigned Grian as the person he was going to guide? Ehhh... nothing to think about, I'm neutral

After all, it's only "For the Bad Boys".

Impulse thinks he might've started seeing things early this time.

It happens at least once a season at this rate, so it's not really a surprise on that side of things. And it's not as bad as the boogeyman clock-ticking he's heard twice now, so, he'll take it, just... it hasn't even been a full session yet?

He'd like to say it started when he ended up tag-teaming with Gem and Scott, but the truth is, that's not quite it. It started when he got his task and ended up in the cherry grove up there, and that little part of him he knows is basically a ghost detector went this task isn't so bad -- maybe people will actually trust me this time! There's never been a bad guy who built with cherrywood, right?

Really weird thing for a ghost detector sense to say. But then Gem and Scott caught up, and they sort of just fell into a natural alliance, and yeah -- Impulse looks at their location-in-progress and thinks we're gonna be the good guys this season, and for a split second feels this headache.

Then it's gone.

It happens again when Skizz visits, which is probably part of a task, but all Impulse knows is... he walks up to Skizz while he's saying "I've been that guy, that all I do is tell the truth, and I'm a loyal sword -- I think I might be the guy that just wants to lie to everybody and just be a jerk!"

Knee-jerk response: "Nah. Don't love that idea. Hate it."

Internal ghost-detector response: I mean, who says those things are mutually exclusive?

Impulse has to stop himself from whipping around fully at the voice, which sounds almost like Scott, except Scott isn't behind them right now -- just Jimmy, and past that the cherrywood trees. He thinks for a second there might be a flash of red among all those pink blossoms. He shrugs it off as Grian skulking around, even though he knows Grian doesn't have pink hair.

A few minutes later, he knows it definitely wasn't Scott, because the guy shows up to immediately point out a zombie villager appearing on the mountain -- there's a librarian, right there, aggroed more or less directly on him. They scramble to get it in a boat and cover its head. Some part of him suggests they should bury it underground, just in case. They only need one more.

Next sighting is a bit more difficult to ignore, mainly because Impulse knows when he's being made fun of, and when a goat smacks him while he's trying to wrangle it into a boat, he catches sight of someone with long blonde hair cackling like a maniac about it from the other side of the border wall, and before he can do anything more than think huh, how'd False get past the border? they're gone.

False is not in this season. He tries his best to put that behind him and inform his teammates of the real issue, which is:

"YOU SAID THAT GOATS WERE NOT A PROBLEM," Impulse yells, trying to pretend the panic is about the loss of a half heart. "I JUST GOT GOATED." He can see the campfire Gem and Scott set up over their shoulders. Someone wearing red is sitting at one of the seats. Impulse resolutely ignores the fact that he hasn't seen Grian at all so far.

That's it for the ghosts for a while, enough to lull him into a false sense of security. Maybe it is just Grian sneaking around. (Maybe the guy in a red poncho he sees in the distance in the badlands Scar has based just outside of is just Grian reliving his glory days.)

"By the way, this is Traitor Scar's!" Scar says brightly.

You think his partner's Grian again? a voice says wryly. It's not either of their voices. It's not the voice of anyone Impulse even knows, for that matter. It sounds like it came from over by the badlands.

"Trader Scar's," Impulse repeats, realizing he's misheard what Scar actually said.

Eh, the voice says. Like recognizes like.

One of my favorite interpretations of 3rd Life Scarian is that Grian has been doing wifey shit for free since like, day 2, and is very in love with Scar but in denial bc he doesn't think Scar would see him that way

And Scar's equally in love oblivious ass who just thinks they're besties doing bestie things and hasn't considered that love is on the table for either of them so isn't actively making an effort to show interest

#3rd life #grian 3rd life #scar 3rd life #scarian #and yknow scar proves grian right in his perspective bc of the friendship pass betrayal #that vindicates all his secret fears that scar doesn't actually care #but while scqr knows he messed up by screwing over his bestie who did so much for him... #HE STILL DOESN'T KNOW GRIAN LOVES HIM and he definitely doesn't know grian is suoer insecure about it!! #so he can never truly fix what he did wrong bc he doesn't understand the depth of the betrayal #angst

Pfff Carmilla and Alastor both bout to be drunk at the overlords meetings and somehow they are just...complete bff's when drunk? Alastor hands over the liquor, next thing anyone knows Carmillas hair is down and she's letting Alastor braid it for whatever fucking reason while she tries to talk about whatever the meeting was about and more than once forgets to speak in a language the rest of the room knows reverting either to her native tongue or Spanish or into something she picked up as Overlord like Eldritch

And Rosie's now trying to juggle both of them and get them both sober while they play with her hat and paint her nails.

Alastor and Carmilla never knew how much they had in common! ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ They both have a crush on like being around Zestial, they both hate the Vee's, they both love gossiping (Carmilla has a lot of tea to spill, much to Alastor's surprise and delight), and they're both an appreciator of exquisite cuisine. The meeting just started, and they're already leaving because Alastor told her about this recipe that she just had to try.

I love the idea of Alastor knowing how to braid ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ And Carmilla looks so pretty with her hair down, I'm pretty I'd short-circuit if it were me.

What makes it better is that when they're sober again? They don't remember any of it. And no one can even get picture or video proof because Alastor shorts out every camera and ruins every photo.

They're besties and they don't even know it.

#a moment of silence for Rosie's sanity #and Zestial #you just know he'd be doing his best to get Carmilla on track #her daughters don't even know what to do #Alastor and Carmilla secret bad besties for life #except it's literally only a secret to them #hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #the radio demon #carmilla carmine #hazbin hotel carmilla #hazbin zestial #zestial morde #hazbin hotel zestial #zestial hazbin hotel #zestial #the Vee's #the Overlords #hazbin rosie #hazbin hotel rosie #rosie hazbin hotel #rosie #rosie the cannibal #alastor and rosie #asks #anon #anonymous #Alcoholic Alastor AU

i saw someone say something like "maybe in another universe they protected each other" about the roomies and i dont think that could be more wrong. even if they weren't successful, they did everything they could.

etho used both of his lives to help his team by running away. he is a runner and by god he will do what he knows how to in service of those who cared.

cleo isnt as obvious. she's used to being betrayed at this point, so her support for her team is subtle but there in her actions. early season she funnels hearts to her teammates. they stick together, and after etho dies she's trying again and again to make sure her remaining teammate doesnt die trying to defend her.

grian, in his own words, goes anyway the wind blows. not this time. this time, his final life is spent kicking and screaming, fighting like a cornered dog to survive. to stall. if cleo can have one more breath, one minute closer to living, anything, he would surrender his hearts as a human shield.

they were all loyal until their deaths, contrary to past seasons. they learned how to protect for their team. it didn't work, but god did they try.

[sophieeee0105]

yes the trapdoor thing in Pearl’s house was hilarious, but honestly the end of Cleo’s video where Lizzie came over to her and Etho and they immediately put Lizzie to work while she awkwardly tried to come up with ways to say friend was honestly the highlight of every pov I’ve watched so far (being Cleo’s and Pearl’s)
