THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE ART WITH YOUR COMMENTARY I FEEL LESS ALONE FOR IT AND THE CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOPICS IN SUCH A COMMUNITY BASED WAY IS SOMETHING I AM HAPPY TO JOIN IN ON WITH YOU!!!

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT that makes for such tantalizing art and storytelling FUCK

Henroin who sees Angel as unfixable because that’s how he sees HIMSELF!!! Val who can’t resist tinkering and playing as a way to satisfy this unquenchable urge to fix Angel because if Angel IS fixable then so is VAL!!!!!

i’m!! fucking!!! SHRIEKING!!!!!

god so did Velvette…the SONG CREDITS…i’m cry!!!!

IT HURTS SO GOOD!!!

Niss - and even Angel - thinking it’s about their choices, doing right or wrong? and not about something *within Henroin* that has *nothing to do with them* but that he takes out on them anyway…

god. more than a century of trauma and it continues here without him even needing to be present!!

which tbh COULD mean Niss could take it up the ass and still be the favorite because v often virtue of being the favorite means doing wrong - often the same wrong as the less favored one!! - and still remaining on top.

bc it’s so often about what the violent person sees reflected back at them!

LMAOOO is still in it deep if he thinks there’s more than a handful of significant reasons lmao which all boils down to how Henroin uses external factors to regulate, which are unsustainable

GODDAMMIT WHY IS THE CHANCE TO PROVE YOURSELF™ SUCH FUCKING CATNIP FROM ABUSIVE PARENTS WE KNOW HOW THIS GOES AND WE FALL FOR IT TOO OFTEN ANYWAY

NOW THE QUESTION IS ALSO IF ANGEL KNOWS AND IS PLAYING ALONG OR IF NISS CAUGHT HIM AT EXACTLY THE WRONG VULNERABLE MOMENT

EXACTLY!! and for Niss to come INTO Angel’s dressing room…the clashing of these dynamics…the juxtaposition of Angel’s long term traumas from two of the men he loves(d?) most in his existence…ahem I’m fine

god the sibling energy is PEAK in this entire page. that first panel is EXACTLY THE VIBE. and this panel!! the italian brows!! the shit eating grin!!!

if Angel’s loyalty were something that could be depended on he simply could have been summoned, but instead he gets a personal visit from the Golden Child (itself a commendation; being worthy of attention) and a mission suggesting good faith in his capability? i am SUSPICIOUS, Nilla!!!

okay and WHAT Henroin it’s SO MUCH HARDER for anyone else to do it that it’s worth whatever fucking trouble to bring Angel in to do the job?? esp if you pit your kids against each other and therefore underestimate Angel’s capability?? mmm something Stinks. the real question is if Niss is in on it…

AND WHEN VAL ISN’T CAREFUL ABOUT MAINTAINING THOSE PRIVILEGES, HIS CONTROL ON ANGEL LOOSENS!!!!! ahem i’m fine

Hazbin Guarantee was such sweet fucking vindication lemme tell ya!!!
