I don’t think I need to explain this one 😭
(I hate radioapple too but that doesn’t make incest fine and dandy like what the hell)
merleon as the round table parents
it started on a hunting trip, gwaine was teasing mordred and took his stuff and hid it. merlin told him very sternly to give it back and mordred said "thanks dad"
from then on they all started calling merlin dad
with leon it came slower and from lancelot. lance was struggling with his relationship with gwen and he confided in leon
leon helped him work through it and when lance left he clapped leon on the shoulder and said "thanks pops"
of course the others all found out about it and started calling him pops
neither of them fits into "mom" or "dad" categories but they each have a role
the kids go to leon when they need solid advice, when they feel like they cant handle something alone and they need a real answer to a problem
they go to merlin when theyre hurt (physically or mentally) and he helps heal them. they also go to him when they need someone to vent to and not get a real answer from, merlin is more than happy to bitch with someone and he'll hold your grudges for you
when on hunting trips, leon makes sure they have food and merlin prepares it and makes sure everyone gets their share
theyre equally protective of the kids and they'll work together to move heaven and earth for them
when they dont want to deal with the knights they try and pawn them off on each other. they ask merlin for advice and he says "oof that sounds like one for pops"
gwaine gets mad at arthur and goes to leon, who tries to give him advice, gwaine gets even more upset and leon calls for merlin because he cant handle the big shows of emotion
the kids all fight to be the favorite. arthur tells the others he has to be the favorite because he's king, leon grounds him for holding his station above the others heads
merlin's favorite changes based on how much trouble they've cause him
leon's changes based on how well they did in training
raising the knights eventually gets merleon together.
Doodled Merlin and Leon because they never leave my mind
Hey, so Angel and Valentino are not a hate-love relationship
Valentino is Angel abuser and also his r@pist
Valentino shows all these toxic behaviors towards Angel
And for the people want anymore proof
Hazbin Hotel episode 2 shows Valentino making a lot of belittling voice mails to Angel
Then episode 6 shows Valentino literally hitting Angel and reminding Angel he owned by Valentino
I also include these sceenshots to show the differences between a toxic relationship and a hate love relationship
What Angel and Valentino have is not a hate-love relationship, it a toxic relationship
i like the genre of animal photos where you can tell they just dipped their face into a carcass and they dont even care (artistic interpretation)
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!
Honestly, people always talk about Lucifer depression. But for me, personally, after his introduction episode, his depression is suddenly gone.
It's heavily implied he has been in a depressed state for at least 7 years. So, for it to suddenly disappear after he started talking to charlie it quite strange.
(I mean, I guess it because he became happier? But I don't know)
Not to mention his depression is also treated as a funny joke by a lot of fans
So, I just want to add before I end this post that even though the character is fictional, depression is not.
Depression can have a significant impact on a person's life, affecting their mood, sleep, appetite, and overall well-being. It's important to remember that depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.
So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.
I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.
They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)
They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.
These hazbin hotel leaks are crazy!!!
Like everything big has been spoiled, like who Alastor soul belong to, his backstory, Sir p backstory on how he got to hell, etc..
I remember when leaks first came out for the 1st season it was small bits, like Lucifer's song, hell greatest dad, a small storyboard clip of that was leaked.
But for season 2, there are multiple large leaks that reveal everything!
Now, the leaks are showing characters sheets. It just been a roller coster.
We all know the "everyone loves Merlin" and "everyone ships merthur" trope almost always work together...
Now imagine... The people love Merlin but don't think Prince Arthur, or Prince pratt, as they call him behind his back since Merlin started it, deserves him.
They do notice that Arthur is fond of Merlin... But to have the prince seduce their favorite servant? Have him hold his power over the poor manservant with twice the jobs he should normally have?
Hell no.
Give me protective Camelot. Give me Camelot citizens who constantly try to cockblock Arthur on purpose.
Also, jealous Arthur, as a treat.
