There's too much for me to verbally unpack regarding the descent into asshole main character syndrome insanity that Vanilla's taken, so everyone thank Wings here for the reminder. If you still support that stammering weasel bastard, you are not welcome to follow me. Get the FUCK out of my face. ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿ–•

Guess I gotta purge accounts still friends with vanilla. I refuse to be around people who like, see, and still talk to them. They accused Keith David of being homophobic over Huskerdust and has been extremely vile and parasocial about Viv's characters and how she chooses to write her show +

It's actually crazy, but yeah, I haven't seen or heard a single negative peep about Angel or heard anyone trying to invalidate him ever since THEY threw a hissy fit and left. It's not unusual for a massive asshole to purposely ignite fandom drama of their own so that they can RP as a shitty savior.

this has to feel *especially* vindicating, so congrats! ~~especially since I've seen zero angel-related drama since then. i don't wanna act like you-know-who is solely responsible for all of it but like...where there's smoke there's a fire~~

Viv has awareness of every little thing that happens around these parts. The thing is that she has the mental fortitude to NOT publicly comment on MOST cases of fandom drama, because with HER history of being used, it's not worth it. She and others can silently recognize assholes when they pop up.

of course i largely say that because yknow. plausible deniability and i don't wanna get sued but this gives me a lot of hope that viv is a lot more aware of prominent people in our community than we think

Season 2 proved that Velvette was not just talking when she called herself the backbone of the Vees. She was the one consistently keeping Val from falling in line too easily when Vox was a bitch. Reminding him that Vox was, in fact, being a piece of shit. And to not encourage him too much.

I donโ€™t know; today Iโ€™m feeling really sad about the current state of the fandom. Iโ€™ll never leave, but man, back in season 2, everything was so much fun. I guess it also has to do with how the story is unfolding. I hope season 4 is a bit kinder.

I wish Helluva would go back to being more niche,like it was before S3. Well, Iโ€™m not sure you could call it "niche," given that it gets millions of views on yt. Still,with its release on Amazon, it feels like the entire internet has its eyes on the fandom, and thatโ€™s terrifying

Can I say something sappy? I think sex is so beautiful and it makes me so sad how it's treated by society. Purity culture has blinded us from seeing it for what it is: an ultimate form of physical connection and intimacy, and the key to the creation of life. How is that not a beautiful thing? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

And DO things, they HAVE. The women of the Hellaverse pull their weight and make the stories whole. They're all credits to femininity and strength of character, and they command respect. It's like Jim Steinman's lyrics say: "Good girls go to Heaven, but the bad girls go EVERYWHERE!" ๐Ÿ‘‘ #Hellaverse

Here's Daphne Rubin-Vega (Carmilla Carmine in Hazbin Hotel) slaying as Mimi in the original 1996 Off-Broadway workshop performance of Rent, 30 years ago! To celebrate one year of Hazbin Hotel: Live on Broadway, I figured I would start sharing some blasts from the cast's past ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽญโค๏ธ #HazbinHotel #Rent

So last convention I cosplayed Carmilla Carmine at the pool and I just really love how this picture came out so I have to share it here too! #HazbinHotel #HazbinHotelCosplay #CarmillaCarmine #CarmillaCarmineCosplay

THIS is a PERFECT example of emotional manipulation, by the way. Just like Stolas and Blitzo in Season 3, I think VBS needs to take a LONG time AWAY from the fandom to gain new perspectives before coming back so that they don't go back to abusing and invalidating others. I WOULD like to see that. ๐Ÿ™

Another 9x12" piece for the charity auction. It'll run for at least a week. Blind auction, you won't know what others are bidding. When auction ends, I contact the winners and they make their donations on the charity's GoFundMe page. Once donations are made, I send the art. Money never comes to me.

Wings is unbelievably awesome - Give them some love, they absolutely deserve it โค๏ธ

Friendly reminder I'm a SA Survivor, a former SWer, my dad tried to sell me off to a pimp when I was 16, and my parents and their partners were physically, emotionally, mental,& verbally abusive to me growing up and even now I still deal with versions of abuse from one of my infatuated roommates. +

The last thing I ever want to do is look at ANY victim of abuse and clock them as an egotistical clout-chaser who's more concerned about doing numbers than being an honest pillar of their community, but that's what's been happening. Being a victim is NO excuse for NOT being a fucking human being. ๐Ÿ’ช

You don't get to speak for everyone on a matter just because your follower count is so vast, you clearly have a talent, and you speak like a politician. This is the last time I will make a post quite like this one, but people really thought this was out of nowhere when it's been a long time coming.

It's the worst fucking feeling in the world to have a good heart and bear witness to a victim of conflict who could've so easily been an inspirational mouthpiece for their group of fellow victims, only to throw all that good faith away by being a selfish, egotistical bastard. You can't help them. ๐Ÿ’”

Post, but it's never going to erase the fact that you can be in a marginalized group without talking over or preaching over the rest of us with your experience. No matter how articulated you are. You can still be a hypocrite and ugly and I will still feel justified in setting the boundaries that+

VBS earned high praise for their artwork, AUs, and creative spirit that resulted in many powerful statements about ValAngel, Huskerdust, etc. That creativity can't be taken away from them. But that fine art becomes tainted when the creator intentionally resorts to abusive bad faith towards others.

BUT NEVER have I seen representation of me or my struggles or my trauma by another in the same boat, and made it my mission and drive to go against everything created and talk down or use my platform to use those same people as stepping stones to success. You can agree or disagree with that one+

Wings said that Viv has an unbelievable mental strength, but I have to give Wings the same compliment, because damn. Wings is a good example of an SA survivor in the Hellaverse space who DOESN'T have a big head and DOESN'T try to abuse and invalidate others' stories. They're human, and they ROCK! โค๏ธ

You can join whatever bandwagons you want about creators, but the people on the bandwagon of hating Viv's existence need to rethink the way they treat an imperfect angel who ISN'T stupid. If you hate someone so much, why bother letting them into your head rent-free? There's no point. Viv's GREAT. ๐Ÿ’–

What if I cry tears of joy?! This is such a balm over the "get over being hurt" crowd. Thank you, mama Viv. This is more important than you'll ever know.

I could also just as easily say that the people bitching and moaning about Stolitz are the same homophobic pieces of shit as usual that are trying to snuff out Viv and queer artists, but there's no point in bringing that up when EVERYONE knows it, and there's nothing new to add to the conversation.

Blitzo fucked up big time by being his usual asshole self, so now he's finally learning to grow and be mature. Stolas fucked up big time by taking advantage of Blitzo, so now he's finally learning to be honest about his desires. They BOTH need time with others to get new perspectives. That's all.

Too many people want to turn watching shows into a morality contest and then demand everyone else agree with them. Theyโ€™ll just label everything โ€œgoodโ€ or โ€œbad.โ€

after finally watching all the s3 eps in HB so far (i donโ€™t have prime), the only conclusion iโ€™ve drawn is that way too many ppl in the fandom have no emotional intelligence or a sense of empathy towards characters they canโ€™t 100% relate to.

Iโ€™ve got posts from months ago warning everybody that we were about to enter the part of the story that gets very sad and frustrating for everyone, and that wasnโ€™t special insight. That is just how story structure works. Feel how you feel, but donโ€™t act betrayed.

I have some things to say about some of the takes that I am seeing but I am struggling to find a way to do it delicately >w>

This is why I hate the โ€œit has to be subtle!!!โ€ Critique of queer media. The fact that we canโ€™t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Donโ€™t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re saying.

JenWave1995@jenwave1995.bsky.social

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as โ€œheadcanon.โ€ When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it โ€œobnoxiousโ€ and โ€œcringe.โ€ They just donโ€™t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they donโ€™t want us to exist at all.

Paul Reubens was set up by the police; in the Hellaverse/indie animation scene, youโ€™ll get set up by your own fans. The hunger to expose queer artists as perverts in predominantly queer fandoms is some ninth circle type shit.

Early on in my time in fandom Iโ€™d only heard of Tony as one point in the โ€œVivziepop is a terrible personโ€œ argument; as it turns out, heโ€™s a very interesting person and probably one of the most talented people to work at Spindlehorse. As always: make ๐Ÿ‘ your own ๐Ÿ‘ judgments ๐Ÿ‘

With the release of "Dirty Bird", we're coming closer to the end of Tony "R2" Raphielle's work for the Hellaverse. R2's gifts for intense emotional drama and dance choreography are unmatched. He gave the Hellaverse a unique soul early on, and his sequences still hit just as hard today! #Hellaverse
