Certified Baxter Lover

So odd that the Hellaverse fandom will get (rightfully) upset when someone whitewashes Blitz but defends Viv's designs for Bibical figures

The lack of sapphic relationships in Hellaverse is so frustrating to some people because there are so many achillean ones. I don't usually get this disappointed but the problem is the imbalance. It's honestly one of the biggest reasons I consider these shows to have terrible representation of women.

I'm not even asking for LESS mlm content, but it's odd that the shows pride themseleves in being unapologetically queer, but most of the queer representation is just man on man stuff, even if some of the relationships are more sexual than romantic. The double standard is clear and the only thing that's more frustrating is the way the fandom refuses to admit how weird it is

I enjoyed Hell's Belles but I wouldn't say it fixed the Millie issue, sorry 💀

People can't get this through their heads, but I'll repeat it a million times. The Millie issue isn't about patience, screentime, or depth. It's about writing. Hell's Belles made it better, but it still doesn't excuse the whole Chaz thing, the childhood home double standard, the creators straight up forgetting she exists sometimes, the beartrap bs in the Harvest Moon Festival, her being used as a plot device in Moxxie's story... maybe she doesn't exist soley for Moxxie, but she still exists mostly for him. What makes it even weirder is that this is a pattern with women in HB. And no, the show being male led and Hazbin being female led doesn't excuse it. Men in Hazbin are not written the same way as women in Helluva. Hell, we still only have one sapphic ship in either shows and like a million achillean plotlines

There were a lot of people in the comments of that short saying things like "wow, finally something Millie centered!" But the fact that so many people are this relieved to get content on a main character says so much about this issue on its own

...That aside, Hell's Belles was cute. I loved seeing more of Sallie May and I enjoy sibling dynamics. I liked how there wasn't really a singular "bad guy" in the situation, it just feels so realistic and it reminded me of my own siblings.

I hope we get more moments between them like this in the actual show. I believe it's been comfirmed that Sallie May will appear in the series more, but I'm not sure if that's true?

As for the trailor... I'm gonna be honest, I'm a bit overstimulated from everything happening in that. There's a lot to cover lmao. I feel like the only one who's happy to see the cherubs make a comeback, though...

The stolitz duet was sillier than expected but I really enjoyed it. I'm getting the feeling it'll have a reprise? It seems my theory about Full Moon being the episode where the stolitz conflict will be resolved is wrong, but it seems it'll still prove that it's not one sided. I have a feeling people are still gonna find a way to deny it, though

There's something about Viv's Saint Peter design that's so unsettling... idk, it gives me uncanny valley. Probably the lack of nose and something in the eyes...

Please do not talk about how you're willing to admit that Hazbin and Helluva have flaws if you can't even acknowledge that Viv whitewashing The Bible is a problem

"Millie's side of the Chaz thing will be explained eventually!"

Well firstly, there's no implication (that I know of) that this is even true. Secondly, if it is, it wouldn't be as impactful since Chaz is dead now and the moment's passed.

Am I the only one who felt like Alastor's character development came out of nowhere?

I like Hazbin for the most part, but I have to admit that I am NOT a fan of the "Vaggie = vagina" jokes

The HB writing team's ability to make a female character's arc develop a man's story more than her own would be impressive if it weren't so irritating.

I really appreciate that regardless of what your overall opinion on the Millie issue is, most people seem to agree that the beartrap thing was foul.

You know that there's a problem with the way a character is written when a bad ass scene of them killing a giant mutant fish manages to get overshadowed by a one-line pegging joke.

Arguably one of the best examples of the female cast of Helluva Boss getting the short end of the stick is this time in Murder Family.

After that whole fiasco and Blitz yelling "scatter!" You can see Millie emerging from the bushes as well, which implies that she was there the whole time and they didn't bother to give her a single line of dialogue or even animate her in the background.

She really just disappeared for a second. During such an important scene in the episode, too.

I don't know, it's a small mistake, but I think it alone says a lot about this whole situation...

It really goes to show that the writing of this character is so neglectful that the creators seem to just forget that she exists sometimes.

Not the worst thing the writers have done to Millie, but probably the hardest to excuse. Her whole existence got thrown away for 2 male characters to have conflict.

Just remembered that today is when Hazbin episodes are being released early and it reminded me of a rant I had saved but never posted. Here it is 🥱

One of the things that always bothered me about Average Joe is that the song begins with "Everyday as I walk around camp..."

Everyday? Didn't they just get here?
