Lmao I Really Want Some More Helluverse Mutuals

Lmao I really want some more Helluverse mutuals 💀

HERE'S MY OPINION ON THIS THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR

Animation is off for a start. I was talking about this yesterday with my Trolls mutuals on Discord. The trolls just look...lifeless? For a lack of a better word. Ain't a thought behind their eyes. I know this was probably low budget but it still looks creepy lmao. Second, WHAT'S WITH THE AI SOUNDING VOICE??? I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT. Yesterday I heard (or rather read) someone saying that it sounded like a weird ass AI combo of Anna Kendrick and Amanda Leighton. For those who don't know, Amanda Leighton was Poppy's VA in TTBGO and Trollstopia. I don't know why but the AI alarm bells are going off. If there's one thing you should know about me, IT'S THAT I DON'T SUPPORT AI BEING USED TO VOICE CHARACTERS SINCE WITHOUT THE VOICE ACTOR'S PERMISSION IT'S BASICALLY THEFT. Voice actors don't spend years perfecting their craft only for the characters they voice to be turned into rusty robots (yes that was a TBT reference and if you catch it I love you).

Another thing I saw on Discord yesterday was that maybe this is to hold us off until DreamWorks can release something bigger involving Trolls. Oh my god I really hope it is.

What is it with Hazbin Hotel and adorable bug demons??? Her antennae are adorable. She's definitely got that 50s look. Omfg she's got mandibles. I'm definitely interested in her lore and her character in general. Idk if this just a design choice but I wanna know why she's only got one pupil. Did she die due to an eye related injury???

Side note but she really doesn't seem to like Vox lmao.

wanted to show off my hazbin oc that ive been working on for the last couple of months lol!!!!! her name is Nora and shes based off a orchid mantis and died in the 1950s. i might drop lore at some point idk im tired

Asha's relationship with Branch

- She's definitely on Branch conspiracy board 💀

- Frenemies, I'd say. They'd have a civil conversation then proceed to bicker with each other.

- Poppy's scary dog privileges.

Have some incorrect quotes which I think sum them up:

Asha: I can explain.

Branch: Can you?

Asha: If you give me thirty seconds to think of a lie.

Asha: Sorry I'm late...I was...doing things.

Branch: SHE PUSHED ME DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS

Asha: You're right.

Branch: That's an usual phrase for you... Did you just learn it?

Pretty sure I've posted this before but it's my favourite one.

Asha: I made tea.

Branch: I don't want tea.

Asha: I didn't make tea for you. This is my tea.

Branch: Then why are you telling me?

Asha: It's a conversation starter.

Branch: Lousy conversation starter.

Asha: Is it? We are conversing. Checkmate.

Basically they can't decide if they hate each other or if they're friends.

I'VE FINALLY FOUND A THEME SONG FOR ADRIAN AND IT'S EVEN WRITTEN AND SUNG BY HIS VOICE CLAIM!!!!

I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SO NOW I'M GONNA ANALYSE THE LYRICS

Off and over the waves

In a town far out of the way

In his mind he’s already made it, he’s

Daft but always elated and

"Off and over the waves// In a town far out of the way// In his mind he's already made it, he's daft but always elated"- Before dying, Adrian was very happy go lucky. Even more so as a child. He had dreams of making it big even as a child.

Heard he’s tippin’ away somewhere

Off away in the clouds, ah sure

He was a kid telling tall tales

He’s probably still telling tall tales and

"Heard he's tipping away somewhere// Off away in the clouds, ah sure// He was a kid telling tall tales// He's probably still telling tall tales"- When he was young and alive, Adrian was always telling stories to people about moving to the US and being successful during the roaring 20s. Adrian was born in 1914 and moved to NYC in 1925 meaning he would've been edging towards being a teenager at the time.

Has one thing on his mind

And it calls to him like a siren

His head is always a ways off shore

After some dream that he begged God for

"Has one thing on his mind// And it calls to him like a siren// His head is always a ways off shore// After some dream that he begged God for"- He didn't intend on becoming a criminal while alive. Adrian originally came to the US to be a performer/singer. I got that idea because Adrian's voice claim can not only sing but he can play several different instruments so I hc that Adrian can do the same. If Adrian was never a con artist, he would've been a performer.

(Chorus)

Day darkens and so does the road

Not all of fortune is silver and gold

Now tell me you found one to have and to hold

‘cause here there be monsters

But that’s just from what I’ve been told

This chorus refers to the US at the time. During the 20s and beyond, there were very strict opinions and laws on immigration. The WASPS (White Anglo Saxon Protestants) were heavily preferred. Basically meaning white British protestants were "better". Adrian wasn't British, he was Irish and the Irish were disliked due to stereotypes surrounding their relationship with alcohol and their religion being mainly Catholicism. This meant that discrimination was common ("...here there be monsters// But that's just from what I've been told").

Maybe you found the spot on the map

But lost the kid on the way to the mark

Tell me now were you digging for gold

Or digging yourself in a hole?

I like to think that this part is talking about how Adrian lost his happy go lucky attitude after arriving in NYC and experiencing all the shit going on at the time ("Maybe you found that spot on the map// But lost the kid on the way to the mark"). Instead of living the life of his dreams, Adrian was dragged into criminality which didn't end well for him ("Tell me now were you digging for gold// Or digging yourself in a hole?")

Now tell me “now, where’s the head in the clouds?”

Now tell me “now, where’s the bright eyed lad?”

Now tell me “now, where’s the kid tellin’ tall tales?”

Building on my last point, these lyrics reference how Adrian lost who he was when he was younger after he left Ireland. He became colder and more distant towards anyone and everyone.

Day darkens and so does the road

Not all of fortune is silver and gold

Now tell me you found one to have and to hold

‘cause here there be monsters

Believe that, just trust me I know

Chorus again. This time it makes implications about Adrian's death. I've decided that he was set up and shot by police during a failed robbery. In other words, he was sorta used as a decoy and literally took a hit for it. His ambition for money became his hamartia.

And I catch a glimpse of me mind

Now she calls to me like a siren

Saying “how'd you get so fake”

Not official but I'm thinking this part could be talking about the oc that @gummygoatgalaxy is currently working on for the Helluverse. Hopefully once we figure out a story for them.

Off and over the waves

In a town entirely fake

In his mind he should be elated

Now, don’t tell me that you’re jaded lad

In Hell now. Adrian sold his soul to Alastor for power and to make a name for himself. Something he never did when he was alive. He typically tries to downplay his contract with Alastor by trying to focus on the slither of benefit from it ("In a town entirely fake// In his mind he should be elated"). The word "jaded" is pretty interesting here. It means bored or lacking enthusiasm usually after having too much of something. However, it's also Irish slang for being physically tired or exhausted. In this context, it could be Adrian saying he's bored of being Alastor's pet as much as he denies it...but also physically tired of it.

Heard he’s tipping away somewhere

Probably telling his tall tales and

Doing a job that he begged God for

Don’t be forgettin’ to thank God for…

In Hell and under contract by Alastor, Adrian ends up being the Hazbin Hotel's butler because according to Alastor it was necessary. Being a butler means supervising other staff (one of those staff being Niffty...yikes), providing personal service to guests (Angel will take advantage of that 💀), ensuring everything runs smoothly and more. It isn't Adrian's dream job but surely he can learn to embrace it...right?

Damn my fingers hurt but that's my breakdown for this song and it's relevance to Adrian. As always, feel free to invade my ask thing!

Asha's relationship with Poppy

Complicated. The last time Asha saw Poppy was when she was a baby. They don't really know much about eachother and Asha isn't keen on opening up. Asha appears to be distant with Poppy because she genuinely doesn't know how to talk to her. She also knows that Poppy has a lot of questions about that night 20 years ago... questions Asha doesn't want to answer. She knows she can't shut Poppy out forever but how do you talk to your own sister who didn't know you existed until you just so happened to cross paths 20 years later...? Asha would also feel a sense of melancholy around Poppy. She reminds her too much of herself before she lost her colours and became the "Radio Troll" she is now. To Asha, Poppy is everything she lost in those tunnels. Both literally and metaphorically.
