Thoughts on Season 2, The Vees, and Redemption
The Vees being the main villains of Hazbin Hotel season 2 has the potential to explore some really interesting aspects of redemption!
Adam and Lute didn't think that sinners could redeem themselves because they considered sinners to be beneath them and thought of themselves as being exempt from sin.
But the Vees do not see themselves as being above sin - far from it. They're evil and they know it. To them, power matters more than any possibility of redemption.
Which is why they'll feel threatened by Charlie's project as it becomes more successful. The Vees need sinners to remain down in hell with them - hopeless, ready to be manipulated, with more souls for them to own.
The more sinners flock to the hotel, the less likely they're to consume the Vee's media/products and enter deals with them. And once Charlie finds out more about the extent of their evil deeds, I imagine she would make it her personal mission to limit their influence - further enraging them.
I feel like that would be the most logical way to set them up as the main villains of s2, would give Velvette more personal involvement as well and would add more nuances to the show's theme of redemption.
In short, s1 was all about those "above" you not supporting you on your journey while s2 will (assumingly) be about those "on your level" wanting to keep you down with them - because they'd lose their power if you left. There'll definetely be a bunch of capitalist/consumerist moments going on as well.

@maningning : “ Edward Nygma sounds like a name an Ace Attorney character would have ”
me : say no more
based on Gotham season 1 episode 3
I'm absolutely obsessed with Vox having a potential "demonic form" in s2 so here's some music that I made to accompany that concept!
It cites Stayed Gone and a motif from a Voxval/Staticmoth tango that I'm working on.
Not sure if it qualifies best as "techno", "trap" or some other subgenre - let me know what you think!
Should I make a similar beat for any of the other characters? Maybe Alastor, Rosie, or Velvette?
(the music was made using Garage Band and the cover was drawn by Vivziepop herself in the Alastor prequel comic)
Yes geologists! Doing the important work 💖

I know it's not the worst thing about capitalism. But I do think there's something really *bad* about the fact that between lack of leisure time, lack of disposable income, and "hustle culture" mindset that for many, many, many people the primary/only way they are able to express their creativity and artistic aesthetics is through consumer culture. Buying stuff and displaying that stuff.
When like...making stuff. Drawing, painting, weaving, crafting, sketching is like, baked deep deep into our bones as humans.
But I know so many adults who haven't like...drawn a picture since they were children.
"Ugh my drawings look like a 10 year old did them."
"When did you stop drawing for fun?"
"...when I was like 10."
Never mind that art doesn't have to be good to be fun.

important ! In recent years especially this year I’ve noticed a lot that the internet language picked up so many Islamic phrases and, from a muslim perspective, it makes the internet a little more welcoming. the thing is, a lot of the time with Islamic phrases you have to be careful about when and where to say them they hold their own weight and demand their own respect so here is a list explaining each phrase and some notes about it.
- In sha allah
It means “ If God wills “. Muslims say it because we’re unaware of what future holds it’s actually blasphemous to claim to know the future, so saying so means “ If it’s the will of god it will happen if not it won’t “ and you’d say it about future events. side note, it’s also a polite way of saying No. for example, someone asks you to do something and you say in sha allah. Technically you’re not saying yes or no, and if it’s not in god’s will it won’t happen.
- Ma sha allah
It means “ this is what god intended “ and it’s a compliment. Saying so is like saying WOW! But it’s also kind of a prayer of protection? If I see someone with pretty hair I should say “ Ma sha allah your hair is very pretty “ the ma sha allah protects the person from the evil eye. By saying that I’m also saying I’m not jealous I’m genuinely enamored and I don’t wish any harm to go to it.
- Astagfurullah
it means “ to god I repent “ or “ from god I seek forgiveness” it’s usually used when you make a mistake but people also use it when they see something bad or when they want to avoid saying something bad. Like once my card refused to work and I’d say that so I won’t say any curse words and to calm down my anger
- wallah/wallahi
okay this one is important. This one shouldn’t be used so lightly. It means “ by god’s name “ and it’s basically swearing in Allah’s name. You are only supposed to say it if you genuinely mean what you’re saying. It’s such a heavy word that I only say it very rarely and if you say it and don’t follow up on what you said you have to fast for three days as repentance.
One more note is that with the name of Allah you should also be careful it’s not supposed to be written on papers that’ll get stepped on or lightly used in art because it also has its own weight it’s regarded heavily. Like even in home decorations it should be elevated and not overshadowed. If I have to throw away a paper I have to sit down and color over the name of Allah or burn the papers so it won’t get thrown in trash.
another note is that those phrases aren’t Muslim exclusive. Some Arab non-Muslims use them as well. This is only my explanation from a Muslim perspective.
Another another note is this is what I can remember at the moment but if you have additions or enquiries let me know

A list of things I asked Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls:
- Were there any excerpts cut in from Journal 3 that you can share?
- What would you change if you were remaking Gravity Falls today? (feat. a discussion on inadvertent transphobia and Grenda)
- What's the deal with that (kinda gay) line being changed in Journal 3?
- Was there more grim or mature content planned for the Blacklight edition?
- What do the red rectangles in J3 mean?
- Is there anything in Journal 3 that has not been discovered or unsolved yet?
- Why did you change Fiddleford's creation of the memory gun to be after the gremoblin attack?
- Thoughts on the Ford+Fiddleford reunion at and after Weirdmeggedon?
- What are your thoughts on how many in the fandom have interpreted Ford as part of the LGBTQIA+ community?
- Was Bill able to possess Ford in the multiverse before Ford got the metal plate installed into his head in Dimension 52?
Beyond these questions, Alex gave so many insights into the "complex, fucked up" relationship between Bill Cipher and Ford, who would win in a fight (both sober and drunk) between Stan and Ford, and how fandom engages with content today .

And for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INTERVIEW VIDEO, including the questions that ThatGFFan asked Alex (the baby in ATOTS, questions about the Gravity Falls pilot and MUCH MUCH MORE), check out @hkthatgffan's video here.
