Putting it out there that if someone puts a Hazbin Hotel/Hellaverse academic anthology in motion that THAT CFP ought to be sent my way. Also will put it out there that if something like that isn’t put into motion for a while then I will do it once I get my life together 🙏😈👼✨

I’m obsessed with this information. Many many~ thanks!
Fun fact: “I’ll fuckin’ spank you” was an improv from Keith 😂 I kept it because it killed me, but also because it felt like a natural grasp for a non threatening-threat. It’s an old school go-to scold. So I felt it worked in character!

Keith David voicing a grumpy winged cat embodiment of a soul sent to hell is the best casting choice ever… said by someone who sounds like she might have issues?? But at least I know I’m not alone~~ #hazbinhotelseason2

Not Another Substack Post on the Political Divisiveness of Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle Jeans... unless?
Yes, everyone has talked about this 1000 times over, and I was there at the front lines before it went viral, but I took my time reflecting... (don't) sue me.

Have you watched the Disney show The Owl House? ✨🔮🦉
I'm interested in surveying fans of TOH, not only as a fan, but because I want to better understand how fans felt when the show was cancelled.

Heard “What if…” by j-hope as I was walking past a bus stop where a cool older group of folks were just bumping it. As soon as the opening keys played I turned around, made eye contact with the person playing it, and we shared a mutual nod of understanding.
