You know what I changed my mind I don’t wanna draw for a living I want to be a carousel horse carver, lead an insane life, then die while carving my last horse who will forever be left unfinished, staring straight at my corpse for days, unblinking, frozen in a screaming whinny.

These comics have the best Wallace facial expressions

Cute aggression is telling me to stick both of their clay models in my mouth and chew

I’d like to add onto these thoughts a bit. I’ve also seen a lot of Husk only ever taking care of Angel or only ever being his caretaker before a partner, and I’m reminded of something a stranger at a car wash I was waiting the rain out in told me.

“He can put out his own cereal, and sometimes he can also put out yours.”

Basically, Angel is a big boy who can (mostly) take care of himself, but if he and Husk were in a relationship they would compliment and help each other. It would never be fully one sided. At times 50/50, 70/30, 40/60, whatever, but Angel wants to stand on his own two feet. I personally feel that part of his most positive arch would involve him learning to do more for someone else, too. Domesticity and stability over the highs and lows he had involves work I think he’d want to do. For his sake, for Husk’s sake.

Sometimes I think we get caught up in fantasy stereotypes, that we don’t get to fully enjoy the nuance of the characters we’re actually shown on screen. Angel can be high femme anything and still get out Husk’s cereal. Husk can pick him up bridal style and later Angel try to do the exact thing with him while laughing at Husk’s embarrassment. He can be thoughtful of Husk’s needs just as much as Husk is his. That’s a gorgeous, beautiful balance.

There’s this consistent trend I see in Hazbin fan content where it’s popular to portray Angel as beautiful, dainty, needy, and wanting to be saved. Meanwhile Husk is essentially the tall and forceful knight in shinning armor, whisking Angel off his feet and always being there to rescue him.

I’m not saying this is always bad- it’s cute! It’s fun, but because it is such a common trope within this fandom, I feel compelled to ask if that’s what we think of Husk and Angel.

Do we think of Angel as a damsel in distress? The eight foot tall mobster spider? The “I can handle myself, baby,” guy? The one who grew closer to Husk through a combination of respect and blood?

Angel needs help, but he does NOT want to be rescued. His femininity being used as a reason to pity him and see him as weak is exactly what he would hate and borders on a disturbing view of femme presentation as a whole.

Husk, on the other hand, is 1. Not tall 2. Not a knight in shining armor 3. Not always going to be the one doing the saving.

Literally gets saved in episode four by Angel before they end up fighting back together! They’re good for one another, they’re friends, they’re partners.

They’re losers on equal footing in this point in their life. Whittling them down to the expected stereotyped of masculine and feminine personally rubs me the wrong way, especially since I feel Hazbin Hotel excels at going against those exact types of expectations.

Obviously continue to have fun and make the content you want to see, I’m some dickhead online, i wrote this out as a way to vent from the feelings surrounding all of this. See yah.

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

I think one of the things that bugs me about the way people ship Ford in Fidd/author and Bill/Ford, and Stan with Fidd/Stan and Stan/Ocs is that a lot of times, since the artist or writer is focused on their ship, they more often than not cut out any inclusion of one brother or the other And to me, cutting off either brother means you don't have a good grip on their characters. There's so much evidence from word-of-mouth Alex to all the myriads of details in the show and books to show that Stan was always, always, and will always think about Ford, have him in his heart like a promise or in his side like a thorn. And Ford? Holy shit Ford has complex feelings around Stan, but there's so much evidence to show that he never stopped thinking about him. Wrote a secret message saying he missed him in the back wall of the dorm he shared with Fiddle in him and his brother's secret code language... Took pictures of Stan WITH HIM into Gravity Falls and then had one on his person when he went through the portal. Even when he was angry at Stan, he still believed there was some relationship there as evidence by the intact swing set in his dreams, even when he was a guy who was too focused on being a hero to see past his ego, he still thought of Stan. He still needed him in his own ways. Pretending like either of them don't keep the other on the mind, erasing the fact that they were both an integral and always present part of each other's lives in one way or another, or SEPERATING THEM so you can ship them and ignoring that Ford basically said he would dedicate the rest of his life to his brother at the end of Journal three isn't just misunderstanding their characters, it's just blatantly not getting the point. I don't know who these "Ford"s and "Stan"s are that you all have been playing with but I watch Gravity Falls, sorry.
