Here More Info On The Ableist Situation That I Could Find

another thing i love about gwaine is that he’s always watching how arthur treats merlin and seems like confused and put off by arthur’s inability to show straightforward affection for him and he just kinda laughs and shows merlin affection. also he’s bisexual

Forever wishing there would have been a seasonal gimmick where someone from Merlin’s past comes to Camelot and spills some tea.

Like, just some rando comes by and drops the wildest lore that not even the audience knows to the knights super casually and leaves.

I.e.

Will (if he had lived): I’m glad Merlin found a place here. I thought for sure he’d end up banished again (: Arthur: He got banished from Ealdor? Will: What? No. Camelot wasn't Hunith’s first choice. Merlin just kept pissing people off in other kingdoms so she had to send him to Gaius because nobody else had a chance of controlling him. Arthur: Are you-? Actually, no. This tracks.

Or

Random Girl: Hi, I'm looking for my brother? He lives in the palace, I think. Elyan: And who might your brother be? Random Girl: Oh, sorry. I'm Ganieda! Merlin's sister. Gwaine: No fucking way

I'm just saying, there is no way Merlin stayed out of trouble his entire childhood. Consider:

Some Guy: Is Merlin here? Leon: You're not related to him, are you? Some Guy: No, I cannot say I am. Years ago we had a brief tryst while on an adventure together before parting ways. I heard he was in Camelot so I thought- Arthur: He's not here. Some Guy: Oh, but- Arthur: He actually died yesterday and, completely unrelated, I'm going to have to banish you. Goodbye. Don't return.

This is not St. Peter

First off, St. Peter was not white. He was a Jewish person.

Also, he worked as a fisherman before joining Jesus, so he most likely worked in the sun for long periods. There is no actual way he could be this pale.

When he died, he was around 62- 67 years old. I don't get how in Hazbin Hotel he looks straight up 20.

St. Peter is often depicted as an old man, slightly bald, with a beard. But in Hazbin Hotel, suddenly he is young, blond, and has blue eyes.

This also brings up the question of how St. Peter works in the Hazbin Hotel universe? Since Jesus is one of the big reasons why peter became who he was. But, in the hazbin universe, it has been confirmed (I believe) that Viv won't add Jesus or God.

So like does Jesus and God exist or not? It questions like these where it is better off just calling him a random angel instead.

MY REVIEW OF HAZBIN HOTEL EP 1!

~~~~

First thing off, I hate how the show just expects you to watch the pilot. Like the show feels like it made for viv fans who have been here from day one. Which is absolutely fine!

The thing is, the newer fans shouldn't have to feel stressed or overwhelmed trying to find out why episode 1 of hazbin Hotel didn't feel like episode 1! For example, if i got a doller for the number of people I saw post about the confusion they were feeling, I would probably be a millionaire.

So sadly, hazbin just feels like a show you have to do homework before watching it to find out what you are watching.

Okay, sorry for my rant 😅

Summary of the episode:

Charlie gets a call from her dad to attend a meeting with the angels in his place. She does so, and we get to meet the two antagonists of the season, Adam and Lute. In the second plot of the episode, we follow Vaggie as she tries to flim a commercial of the hotel to surprise Charlie with.

----

My issues with the episode short formed:

● Bad pacing

● some thing should've been kept secret for another episode to explore it further

● And it being episode 1, but instead, it was treated as episode 2 because the writers expected you to watch the pilot

~~~

My issues with the episode long formed:

● the episode was doing too much for a 20-minute episode. It felt like it was trying to keep itself in a standard 2 plot episode but the writers got super excited for plot A (charlie part) that they try to speed up plot B (vaggie and the hotel crew part) to get back to plot A as soon as possible or they didn't understand how to go about the two parts without it becoming to boring for the fans watching.

● Some things should have been kept a secret. And which I mean, some of the things we introduced in episode 1 should've had it own episodes dedicated for that plot.

I would have it that charlie enters the meeting doors. We never see her again until the end of the episode. The rest of the episode just focuses on vaggie, the hotel, and the disaster they are causing to make the commercial. Then, after the last couple minutes of the episode have charlie walked in defeat and crash. Vaggie asks what is wrong and tries to comfort charlie, but Charlie's stays quiet on what happened during the meeting and instead goes to her room. And vaggie left there defeated as she held the camera that has the commercial everyone worked together to make.

● as I said in the beginning, this show is quite all over the place. For you truly know what is going on, you have to go on youtube, watch the pilot, then go back to Prime and watch the rest of the episodes.

music for this episode:

I loved hell was forever! Like, I genuinely loved it so much!!!!!! If I choose a song to listen to again for the first time from Hazbin Hotel, I would choose hell was forever!

Happy day in hell, I'm sorry, but the song was okay. I didn't enjoy it that much, and if I were to rate the songs. This song would probably be one of the lasts. It just something about the song that just felt off about it.

~~~~~

Overall, I give this episode a 5.4/10! I would love what else people have to say as well!

Gwaine - charm and eternal flirt. Gwaine was too good at this - ease, smiles, endless confidence. he didn’t just flirt, he did it so naturally that even merlin sometimes got lost.

Gwaine:. have you ever wondered why i'm always around you?.

Merlin:. because you drink in the tavern, and then someone has to drag you out?.

Gwaine:. oh, so you care about me. and here i thought i was the one courting you.

and while Merlin was protesting, Gwaine was already throwing him his most charming smile.

What if everyone in the digital circus is ai expect pomni?

Just imagine the biggest plot twist is everyone from Ragatha to Kinger turns out to be ai. And Pomni is the only real human, maybe a test experiment to see how the ai interacts with a real human.

I love how it canon in welcome home that the joyful siblings each have an element in the process of making flowers bloom.

Like Franny is the rain, Jonesy is the grass, Bea is the sun, and Julie is the flower itself.

At first, I was so confused because it didn't make sense, and then I realized each sibling (expect Julie) had what flowers need to have to grow: rain, grass, and the sun.

Typical trope of the woman being better at archery than the man but the woman is Merlin and the man is Arthur (and the Knights).

It’s probably a bet or Gwaine trying to flirt with Merlin, or maybe Leon worries about his safety to the point he makes him, but one of the Knights offer to teach Merlin to shoot. They figure he’ll be safe as you normally need some distance to shoot and doesn’t require too much strength. (in the instance of Knights, they tend to not realise that a bow string is very taught and hard to pull if you want to shoot well as they are already sturdy in muscle.)

Gwaine goes to hold onto Merlin’s me show him a proper form but Merlin just scoffs and shoos him away.

Arthur finds it hilarious that Merlin is so confident as he thinks it will be funny to watch him embarrass himself, until he watched Merlin pull the bow with more ease than even the most trained archer.

Cue them watching Merlin shoot every target with as close to perfection as one can get (without controlling the wind).

Putting the bow down and blushing despite his prideful grin, Merlin just shrugs at them as if he didn’t just blow all their minds, “We had survive somehow in the village.”

Gwaine cackles with glee while Leon debates for illy picking up Arthur’s jaw.
