I think a big part about Nifty's social awareness is the one two punch of her relationship with Alastor and her status as a sinner. As a sinner, nothing short of extreme supernatural means can ACTUALLY kill Nifty. You can blow her to bits, set her on fire, shoot her, etc. and she will always heal and be able to pull herself back together by the end of the day. Combine that with her S&M fixation and you get someone who enjoys taking ridicules risks just to see if they can get away with it because there are no consequences beyond some temporary pain that she actually enjoys. The second part is that Nifty knows that no matter how much she messes up, she can always count on Alastor to bail her out. Let's be real here, its very unlikely that a former Overlord like Nifty would really get stuck in a toilet by accident but it is something she would do on purpose because she likes the feeling of knowing that the ultimate bad boy WILL go out of his way to help her no matter how inconvenient it is. It makes her feel cared for. Its also probably a big part of why she is one of Alastor's few genuine emotional connections. According to Vivziepop, the show's creator, Alastor was a mix race creole bastard born in the early 1900s. His white father abandoned him to avoid the social stigma of the relationship getting out and Alastor ended up being raised by his mother who home schooled him to make sure he got the best education possible. She ended up getting sick and Alastor had to take care of her during the final years of her life. Nifty's dedication to others and need for others to take care of her probably reminds Alastor of her.
For what it's worth, I know I have OCD. But I now believe I also have performance anxiety. When my sister reminds me of my chores, she don't use a full list. So, when I think she's done asking things of me or reminding me of things, it turns out she isn't. What really aggravates me is when she uses more than one "and"; I hate the confusion it causes. I always knew I could not focus on multiple things at once, but now, I realize that's why I hate it when she uses more than one "and". It's because I cannot focus. But please, don't me bother you.
Also, according to the show's creator, Nifty is a Japanese American from the fifties. Which, if you are familiar with the history of that time period, would know that that makes it highly likely that Nifty spent time in an internment camp. So it is most likely that Nifty has trauma.
If only there was somewhere free we can see the uncensored content, but I also understand that people have to compromise to eke out a living these days.
"We're about 80% sure she's harmless!"
That's dropped to 36.8% post-finale.
lol
As soon as Charlie said that, I started taking a mental tally whenever she did something concerning. That's fairly close to where I ended up.
STAAAAAAAABSTABSTABSTABSTAB
Really, only 38.2%, wow you’re generous
@@GeorgiaDow HMMMMM DO i need some help? I can do myself!!!
I thought "Surely, Nifty doesn't have enough screentime to make a video on her. Surely, she is just a one dimensional character with no actual substance to analyze". Boy was I wrong. A 28 minute long video lets gooo
Literally me:
Turns out, we just needed someone competent to make analysis
It's funny how people claim Niffty is 22. She is WAY too childish to be that old.
@@leonarddement3432stuntes mental development is a real thing, I'm 22 and I known people my age who gave not had much mental Growth
I really hope we learn more about Nifty; what did she do when she was alive to get sent to Hell?
20:20 Small reminder that Valentino is a moth. This is no fur coat, she nonchalantly ripped out some of _his_ fur.
the amount of times i think people are underestimating the way nifty acts towards bugs, and Valentino being one...
Also tracks with her sadism towards bugs.
@@DarkCTit’d be kinda funny if Nifty killed a second major antagonist.
truth
That scene always reminds me of the messes my mantises used to make whenever I fed them moths. The fur got _everywhere._ Then the mantids would hang there and clean themselves like cats for half an hour. Such adorable little creatures.
What I think about the line "I am - the MESS?", that it had much more profound meaning for Niffty. It wasn't just about her fear of being messy behaving person, but that Angel literally downgraded her to the only thing she absolutely hates - the mess, the literall one, that she takes care about in hotel and etc. Like, not "You are not in control and doing bad things right now", but "You are literally the same as the dirt, that you are so hard trying to get rid off"
Oh goodness- that's so heartbreaking
very well said
i struggle with this a little, but i suspect nifty might have the contamination type of OCD, her obsession with everything being clean might be because she herself wants to be clean, so being told she's a mess loke that when she's been cleaning all along to avoid getting contaminated with the mess must be devastating..
I also think Angel was projecting because Angel himself is a hot mess. But it also seems he's doing it of empathy like "Nifty don't be like me, I'm trying to help you". Which is both telling and sad for both of them.
Obviously wasn’t nice of Angel to say that, but I don’t think he understood exactly how much that hurt her until she started crying And then he at least did his best to try and help her.
Niffty seems to sense 2 things with Valentino:
1. He means harm, and she might unconsciously sense Angel’s distress around him.
2. He’s a moth demon aka a bug. She’s coming after him and everything he loves
(On a side note, seeing another video of Angel being the hero/protective of people would be amazing if you decide to do it)
hahah that is great @shes coming for him and everything he loves
"Oooo... he's a bad bug."
OK but now I think the might go after the other vees just to prolong vals suffering lol
I support the theory she was an abused housewife that killed her husband. And she justified it in her mind by calling “him” a bug. Maybe even met him again in hell in the form of a bug. It’d explain a lot like her lack of social awareness cause he isolated her and her childlike demeanor to feel safe and her ocd and attraction to bad boys.
Didn’t she also get lobotomized in this theory?
@@Aceoffailure that’s what some people believe. But my theory goes is that her “bad boy” was her high school sweetheart who she ran away with. Only for the reality to sink in along with heavy denial about how abusive he really is. Till she reached a breaking point and had to “exterminate” the bugs.
Nifty also has a very distinct three red spots on her outfit that may explain how she met her end
They look very suspiciously like bullet wounds
There is now also a theory that she got lobotomized by her husband that abused her (if she had a husband) and that she became crazy after it because doctors had poked in her brain
I saw a theory I liked that she wanted to be a housewife, and obsessed over it. Because of her behavior, she scared the boys away. She went to her crush's house in the middle of the night in an effort to impress him by making him a meal, but someone in the house caught her and shot her three times.
Nifty’s “for my collection” when she rips part of Valentino’s fur makes me believe that her room is decorated with the remains of the bugs that she’s killed over her time at the hotel.
And I think I speak for the large majority of the Hazbin fan base when I say that we would be pretty happy to see the rest of Val on Nifty’s wall
I think part of Alastor's affection for Nifty comes from their shared hobby of serial killing.
Isn't that kind of confirmed by the show though? I mean, you've got the "King Roach" crown she gives Alastor, which has dead bugs woven all through it, and she mentions in the same scene about "roach puppet shows," so, yeah, she at the very least keeps most of the bugs she kills to make crafts out of....
The fur that she ripped off of Valentino might be part of a different "collection" though. You think Nifty's now got a piece of Adam in there too?
@@AnInsideJokeI’d bet nifty either has a chunk of Adam’s hair, outfit or nifty has the mask
To be fair, she might not have any part of adam, considering she might have wanted valentino because he is a moth which is a bug.@@mist5142
Now see, this leads into my theory... She collects pieces of 'bad boys' to create... voo doo dolls. (Or in the case of those she's already defeated, trophies, like Adam, maybe she grabbed something of his). It would explain this 'collection' of hers she took some fluff from Valentino for).
This would also explain some of the 'bond' between she & Alastor... They have an 'interest' in common. She honestly might be a cannibal too, she was ready to take a bite out of Valentino.
I love the fact that she always dresses up as the characters she talks about
It is so nice honestly ❤
Shes such an artist!!
The effort 👏
For a moment there, I thought you were talking about the character, not the analysist, lol.
Real
If Nifty is in the area:
As a friend - She's harmless, just keep an eye out for her.
As not a friend - Watch your back and pray to Lucifer you don't appear as a "Bad Boy".
80% harmless
@gleek781 *EYE* see what you did there.
@@turtletipper1851*ba dum tsssss*
Nifty's "acting" was taken as a joke by everyone but I saw her freeze and blackout and I 100% recognized it as performance anxiety and I'm SO GLAD that someone finally pointed out it 😭🤣
I'm apart of theater and I got such a bad grade because I froze up.
I find it funny how I went from being the literal villain to just doing makeup. (The makeup makes me happy and I get free time to sleep until bows, so it's great)
I love that when the news report happens in the final episode she has the exact same expression. At first I thought that it was a mugshot of her, then I realized it was just Nifty had been put in front of a camera and did what she does in front of cameras.
I was thinking straight-up dissociation, but the way she describes it... they kind of sound a lot a alike.
I have a much darker theory for why she freezes anytime someone films her,actually...😬😰
I've done some theater in highschool, so I caught that too.
Nifty didn't know, nor care, who Adam was. she just did what someone she respected told her to. Loved it.
*"Charlie told me to stab, so I did"*
Valentino is a Moth, Nift has the insect issue, so... that's why she is interested
ofc ofc !!! how did i not see that .... fit perfectly
@@GeorgiaDowpossibly but if that’s the connection she made wouldn’t she just get to stabbing
@@Casual_Nerd86 i'm pretty sure it has to do with him being a "bad boy"
I think the fact that he happens to be a bug is kind of 'the joke', but actually isn't what drew her to him, his being a VERY bad boy who hurt her friend, seems more the case here, especially when she went straight to biting him (not her usual method). I think Nifty might have some cannibalistic tendencies like Alastor, which she limits to those who are 'particularly bad'. (Also like Alastor).
I also think she makes voo doo dolls, thus pulling some of Val's fluff for her 'collection'.
😮 now I get it
I imagine when Nifty met Alastor, she was like "Oooo, a bad boy 😈" then immediately signs away her soul to him because she saw how powerful he was. Lol
I have joked that either Alastor doesn't even own her soul and she just followed him home one day like the Cat Distribution System, or he came to her with a whole manipulation planned to make a deal but the second he says "let's make a deal" she just goes "okay!" and goes to grab his hand before he's even outlined any terms.
@@llc358 that's honestly a super cute idea lol
@@llc358THE FIRST ONE AFAHDFK I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT
@@llc358like she just stuck to him like a Tick lol
@@llc358 Or hear me out, she is actually the one who gives HIM his powers 😮
To help your understand of the character Georgia, Niffty has been confirmed by the creators to have been 22 at the time of her death in the 1950s. She's a first generation Japanese-American, which means that she very likely spent a number of her teenage years in the Japanese-American Internment Camps
That would help explain a lot of her childlike personality and obsession with cleanliness. I know that, culturally, cleanliness is very important to the Japanese, hence the indoor shoes, and Niffty's OCD would absolutely push that up to 12 or 13. Also, when people are put into a prison system, they have a tendency to stop aging mentally. It would not surprise me to find out that she was even a preteen when she was interned.
@@deadrunners5937 Well if she was 22 at the time of her death, and the camps were 1942 to 1946, she would have been between 4 and 14 ( year of death being 1959->1950) assuming her family was put there in 1942.
Well this turned tragic
@@InfinityKrompt Well that would mean she didn't really have a safe childhood. So that would track with what Georgia said, and it would make sense why she's still so childlike
huh, that's the first time i've heard of her being japanese-american, where did you hear that from?
I'm surprised you didn't talk about her "punish bad boys" line. For someone who instantly disliked Sir Pentious when he didn't turn out to be the bad boy she wanted, yet wanting to be in control to punish them gives you a lot to think about
Probably because it’s too “graphic” to show on RUclips. Maybe it’s on her longer video on Nebula. She also didn’t mention the “I like to be forced” comment she made to Husk.
To be fair. In kink spaces, "punish" doesn't really mean punish in the same way.
@@Mothman1992 Though, then again, it's Niffty. It can go either way.
@@Mothman1992run mothman what if she finds you lol
I think the more telling part is Husk's reaction. He knows more about Nifty than most do. He was enjoying a massage, but when Nifty said she's ready to punish some bad boys, he immediately decided he wanted to get out of there.
I did not expect Niffty to go this deep. Wow.
She is mostly comic relief, but she is used sparingly enough, to not get annoying.
Her going so hard after Valentino plays beautifully into her obsession with Bugs.
What is interesting to me is, that in the Club, she wasn't even aware, that they changed location so she kept cleaning, until someone pointed out, that she was not in the Hotel anymore.
Her design suggests, that she was shot. So what happened before her death? One does not become like this, without reason. (Also, she's my second favorite character after Husk)
_Sooo..._
Niffty's "deal", in a word, is *control.*
Either she's trying to assert control herself through her obsessive bug-stabbing, cleaning fixation, or even physically hurting herself as a way to divert her thoughts from whatever trauma she has gone through, or she wants a "bad boy" who will tell her what to do to take control _for_ her. ("I *like* being forced!", remember?)
All of this to me sounds like at some point in her life she has been in a traumatic situation where she felt helpless, powerless, and out of her depth in dealing with something that happened to her. Growing up in an toxic or abusive family or being severely bullied would be textbook examples.
Her obsessive behaviours seem like a coping mechanism to avoid experiencing that feeling of helplessness or inadequacy ever again.
Definitely a control thing for Nifty. She's funny and I feel bad for her.
Niffty is also one of the only people Alastor really seems to have a bond with. She is the only one he really let’s touch him and he really seems to have some amount of affection toward her which ist toward anyone else.
Rosie too, to a digree
And charlie
The only other person he has a similar degree of affection are Rosie and Mimzy, but I think Alastor has more respect for Rosie and Nifty.
I believe her putting so much importance in her role as a housekeeper stems from her life as a 1950s housewife before she died. Back then women were expected to be cooking and cleaning baby machines so she couldve carried that stigma with her. That could also explain her obsession with "bad boys" as well
Those effects also set a perfect situation to be a victim of traumatizing experiences without receiving any help, makes sense with the video
Ultimately the rules back then being really bad for her might explain why she likes bad boys, rebels, without being able to break rules herself like many who are deeply and forcefully put to submission
She died at 22 and wasn't married from what I remember of her backstory. I get a vibe where she was probably like Caril Ann Fugate, who liked bad boys in the 50s and murdered 11 people with Charles Starkweather. I expect she got shot by the police or a potential victim, hence the bullet hole marks on her white apron
I wonder what caused her to be so child like though? Maybe she was a child when she died and it was trauma from watching her mother?
@@samwarren6008 she was 22 when she died. She was a yandere or some other kind of killer, like 50s killer Caril Ann Fugate
@@samwarren6008 a lot of people make a child like personality to cope with trauma sometimes even without realizing it which could be the case for Nifty
With how Nifty was the one to finally off Adam, I like to think her gesture of dubbing Alastor “King Roach” was a bit of prophecy because he just barely escaped the battle against Adam with his life, like how roaches are known for their ability to survive anything thrown at them
Nifty is the biggest question mark, we know so much and so little to. And that is what makes her so interesting of our little clean goblin
I would totally adopt Nifty. Clean house! Happy wife! And "Nifty, if they have a mask on, and they come in the house between midnight and six AM- STAB!" "Even if they have a badge?" "Yes." 😉
Please do Vaggie next! As far as we know she was raised by someone who has been diagnosed as a narcissist by multiple RUclips therapists
Call me crazy but I swear on my life that at some point it was mentioned that the exorcist are Adams daughters am I imagining that I swear I heard it somewhere in the show but for the life of me I can't find it
@@diegosebastianhernandez3146 he did say he named her. Also Adam did claim that all of humanity came from him
@@diegosebastianhernandez3146 Livestream lore potentially? Though that has proven non-canon

This comment wins!!
@@Random_Wierdo. Thank you! 😊
as someone who has always struggled with anxiety I have always had the mantra of
"Get comfortably, uncomfortable"
That is cool,I should follow that
Did anyone else hear the Mortal Kombat announcer’s voice say “Niffty Wins” when it was shown she stabbed Adam, “Fatality” as she stabbed him repeatedly while laughing like a lunatic, and “Flawless Victory” as she skipped away?
In either event I can not wait to check out this video when I get home. Few characters are as lovable and terrifying as that little Gremlin
We need a video of that.
@@marieguillou8808 on it
@@marieguillou8808I wish I had the knowledge to make that 😂
I can do it :)
@@loonable PLEASE DO! Then send the link.
My Lady Wife has so much performance anxiety (aka "stage fright") that she has actually dissociated while speaking in public. We met at a conference through work. She gave a really great presentation- not stiff, not over rehearsed, just pleasant to watch and informative. She acted like she was presenting to a bunch of close friends and family.
Afterwards, when he boss complimented her on her presentation, she looked at him blankly and said "What did I say?" She had competely dissociated. But still rocked the presentation.
I feel like since Nifty according to the Fandom website was 22 and died in the 1950s, she probably was a housewife who had a bad boy husband who was violent and/or who did not acknowledge her and what she did around the house and she probably broke one day.
If that’s the case, her loving pain was probably how she coped with the violence she endured in life. :(
I felt such glee when you said Nifty stole part of Val like a serial killer would for their next victim. We can only hope. 😈 Also, that's a good point she never tried to bite anyone else in the show. Only Val.
Val is a moth... an insect. Perfect victim for Nifty
@@lilunette9319 Yeah but Angel's a bug too and they're best buddies in the same scene.

FUCK YES! ... I mean, hum... thank you
I love how you did your hair. The detail in your costumes is always impressive. I've seen a lot of people think of Niffty as just a one dimensional, maniacal gremlin. But I'm happy to see someone who recognizes her signs of OCD and go into how it affects her. As someone with the disorder myself, I feel seen.
that means so much to me = ) thank you Dan
Agreed
She's good at this.
I second this, OCPD here so not exactly the same but I've heard it's more controllable, so I wish especially you and those with OCD the strength to fight through it ❤. Being seen is a great feeling
As someone with OCD I couldn't put my finger on why me and Nifty were so alike till I watched this and realized it was due to our similar traits, and her having OCD that resembles mines.
With regard to Nifty's trust fall, I don't believe the group backed away because they simply "disagreed" with what she said. I think, in this moment, the group was suddenly afraid for their lives because of what she said and, more importantly, the way she said it. There was a palpable amount of murderous intent and I believe the group recoiling was a very natural reaction in this situation.
I hate Valentino but I think a video over him would be interesting
same
now that you mention it,, yeah :3
I really hope you do an analysis on Vaggie and Carmila Carmine, mainly the former because besides Angel, Husk and Sir Pentitious, Vaggie had one of the best character evolutions and developments she went in the show’s first Season from not just being Charlie’s voice of reason and girlfriend but also her protector and it’s mostly noticeable in Episodes 3 and especially 6-8 where she had her moment to shine.
I'm glad you don't script out your videos. You come across as genuine and relatable. Can definitely relate to your potentially inappropriate dark humor. :)
I appreciate that!
Funny enough, another RUclipsr who does Hazbin Hotel reactions also speculated that Niffty may have OCD (they also have OCD)
As another OCD person, yup, I confirm this.
i have ocd as well and honestly it never even crossed my mind until i watched this video. but knowing what we do about niffty's backstory it's definitely not unfeasible. i don't think any woman could live through the fifties without ending up as some kind of neurotic.
@@b.collins2656
Every OCD person is different, so that makes sense.
If I'm allowed to make suggestions, I think the cast of Baldur's Gate 3 has a lot to talk about. Astarion's trauma and the abuse he faced, Karlach's trauma and coming to terms with her mortality, Shadowheart's toxic relationship with her religion, Lae'Zel's conflict between her morals and her brutal culture, Gale's toxic relationship with Mystra, Wyll's toxic pact with his patron, The Dark Urge's violent impulses and thoughts. I feel like each and every one of them has a lot to analyze and discuss.
She would have to play the whole game several times to get the full story though. Or watch several hours of compilations. It would be a huge project
And that Halsin was kept by chained to a bed in a drows house for three years
@@NYCZ31Oh, for sure. It would be a big undertaking. But I'm signaling that if she's willing to make the videos, I'd be happy to watch
@@NYCZ31 could probably get the story by watching play throughs, as well
Minsc's ... Minsc-ness would be an interesting watch too.
You're missing her most important thing, A KNIFE
RUclips guidelines take away all the fun dont they? Lol
NO!
Yes... A FAKE one, meant to LOOK like
A real one.
lol
Again, I will never not appreciate the amount of visible effort you put into your cosplays!
aww thanks
@@GeorgiaDow Your cosplays are truly amazing and I love your videos :). You are really talented.
In defense of nobody catching her during the trust falls not only was everyone too freaked out to catch her (even Charlie and Vaggie) but she also quickly jump forward (multiple times) instead of slowly falling backwards. 😂
Her interactions with Alastor are really sweet and may be the only genuine connection he actually has with anyone. Niffty even shows up as an actual daughter like figure for Alastor while he’s trying to pretend to have that connection with Charlie just to get under Lucifer’s skin.
I never knew Nifty had OCD until I watched this! I thought she loved to stab bugs and enjoys cleaning!
I started thinking that could be the case with her reaction in the "I'm the mess?" scene, it hints that her issues go deeper than just a "crazy random lol" cleaning obsession.
I think you did really well delving into Angel's trauma, but if you did one focusing on his protectiveness and people pleasing (why should Charlie get all the fun?) I would be here for it. He is hands-down my favorite character.
Still throwing my hat in for a Vaggie vid.
Me too, she's been through so much! I mean you have religious trauma, potentially raised by a narcissist, possible PTSD, trauma, codependency, losing her identity
I have ocd (currently in therapy ^^) and I think you explained ocd amazingly! There's a lot of misunderstanding about this theme so I'm always glad when people explain it correctly. Love your videos!
that means a lot to me thanks
Was thinking the other day, Charlie is who I'd like to be, Nifty is who I actually am.
i love how you dress up as the characters every video you talk about them, it makes the video kinda cooler
You know, this video is the first time I'm noticing just HOW HAPPY Vaggie is watching Adam get his.
I adore how you did your hair! The whole costume in this video is just great!
Thank you so much!! aww
@@GeorgiaDowmake a vid about Valentino!! ❤
2:52 it’s also probable that her contract with alastor includes not being conscious when on camera. Because she thinks she actually said her lines and she’s fine after the camera turns off
Yeah it's definitely possible because of Vox and Nifty being a loose cannon that rather than risk her accidentally saying something she shouldn't she's just set to go into void-mode
17:55 I think that would be really cool! I would also love to see you touch on cherry’s role as an enabler in Angel’s recovery
I relate to this blanking out memories. I can remember barely anything from my teens and childhood. And trauma still wormed it's way into my few memories
Yup, DID here and I've got nothing till about 13 ISH and even then it's patchy till about 15-16ish
@@phoenix_songbird traumas wonderful isn't it
*(Warning, rambling ahead.)*
As some undiagnosed folk with symptoms worryingly resembling OSDD 1b and disassociates frequently, I too remember everything and nothing. And I'll remember I told a friend "yesterday," if it was yesterday, a hello - then proceed to forget a whole morning, no, _week_ of anything of work or school.
I remember things... occasionally! Just not in concrete timeline.
Hell, I've forgotten to change my profile from Papyrus to something else, and forgotten to make a profile picture for myself, and forgotten to make a character persona for myself, and forgotten to figure out my own identity, and forgotten my own interests - you get the point. It goes on and on.
I do oft forget a thought, but remember the series of things I'm supposed to do before them... _then_ forget to do the thing I'm supposed to do after going on a tangent.
The horrors of being a (probably) amnesiac, ADHD, Autistic(?), disassociative, childish, have I said forgetful, and forgetful fellow. I know I described myself as forgetful three times, I forgot other words to describe myself.
[Edit mere 30 seconds after I made this; holy crap I forgot how many times I said the word forgot. Holy crap.]
@@koboldqueen3055 yup🤣
This was such a good analysis! As someone with OCD I love that you pointed out all the different ways it can manifest. I’ve had therapists question my diagnosis because I lean more into the obsessive rather than compulsive side of the disorder. It’s nice to hear someone properly explain it in all its facets.
glad someone talked about how hurtful it was that they went out of their way to not catch niffty, especially in a therapeutic environment
I never thought she could do it she actually was able to make a full video on nifty
18:30 what i interpreted as a big thing as well, is that nifty says "im THE mess" not A mess. Pretty much her entire purpose is cleaning up messes, as the hotel maid. She sees her value, and her role in helping charlie (authority) and pleasing the other characters, is to remove any mess around them, and that is why shes valuable.
Her saying that SHE is the mess, is almost like thinking her presense alone means that everyone around her will always be surrounded by filth or "mess" because of her just being there.
This video is so relatable, I have autism and I tend to talk about things I really like. sometimes I overthink and go deep into the scientific reason behind why something works, I do kinda act like a smart ass but in a way that’s funny and will help me have a longer conversation with my friends. I try not to do it because it might be annoying to people but i feel comfortable with that person I’ll bring out my dry sense of humor.
I LOVE NIFTY SHES MY FAV CHARACTER BY FARRR. Shes adorable I want her backstory so bad I’ve seen theories that she was a house wife that went crazy trying to be the perfect wife
that would fit and her 1950s dress as well
I honestly love the try to remake the magic little hair curles👏
I did try = )) thank you for noticing
Genuinely shocked you managed this long of a video only on Nifty. To me there are so many gaps in her story i just speculate. But i am impressed. The video is great.
Glad you liked it!
@@GeorgiaDow it is a good video!
I am happy your fid not fall down the speculation rabbit hole. I am really interested to see is the go anywhere with Nifties character. I think at some point in development she was supposed to be Japanese American giving the show an asian coded character. Don’t know if they will still with that.
Either way i do think she much have died as a young adult and that is part of why she looks to adult figures to give her directions and provide for her.
@@GeorgiaDow oh also i would love another video on Angle/ Anthony. I have been in toxic relationship. Actually i am still in the process of getting out of a toxic home situation, and i really relate to his journey. Specially the need to physically move away from your abuser and have places they can’t reach you. I am sure if you make more content on Angle/Anthony i will love lit.
The next member of the cast is vaggie im so exited for that episode
Niffty is the best animated maid ever. Change my mind.
I'm convinced that with how much she seems to enjoy pain, I think she has like a 0 on the self-protection/preservation instinct
Also favorite thing I like about her interaction with Valentino: I think with her obsession with killing bugs- Val is a bug. She wants to kill it. That's what I think, at least 🤣
Something that I think can add to this discussion about nifty is her past life and the period she died. She seems to be the woman that tries everything to be the perfect wife. That keeps the house always clean and take care of children, and is extremely dependent of man and authority figures
ITS OUT ITS OUT ITS OUT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LOONG EHEHEHEHEEHEHEEHEHEHEHE
MY FAVORITE CHAOS DEMON HAS A THERAPY VIDEO!!
Howd u even make a 30 min video on her
yeah funnily i thought it would be a short video also as she doenst have much screen time but ... we'll yeah there is a lot there
I proclaim I am the first like and first comment on this video and I am proud this has been my number one request for so long nifty is such a weird psychotic character and is my FAVORITE
Finally Nifty!!!! I am so excited
I work in a Crisis Stabilization Unit and a lot of the people that come through aren't rational adults so calming them down is sometimes literally accomplished with crayons and paper. Sometimes adults just need something simple to decompress from the stresses in daily life. Do something you loved as a child. You may find you still do love it.
Unrelated to her psychology I think the idea that she actually somehow owns Alastor's soul is great fun.
Oh, that would be great!!!
I'd love the extra video on Angel :D
He's such a "protective big brother" type characters, which might be intentional, since even though they have yet to be properly presented, he does have brothers and a sister which, we might have seen in heaven.
Food for theorising -w-
Wow, didn’t know that Nifty had OCD.😲Thank you Georgia!❤️ All of your Hazbin videos are super helpful to know each character’s way of thinking.
I was binging your Hazbin playlist and I thought "It would be cool if she did one of Niffty (she's my favorite) but no one wants to try to figure out that craziness".
Not thirty seconds later, I saw this pop up. So psyched!!!
Honestly I didn’t really expect such a detailed analysis that makes sense, it makes me like Niffty even more!
Gotta appreciate that you dress up as the characters you're talking about. You're literally putting yourself in their shoes! So cool.
Hey, it's already here! Niiiice!!
Edit:
24:23 That was *sooo* satisfying on the first watchthrough of the show. Heh, and Vaggie's joy. Same.
26:17 Even Fat Nuggets is loving it
27:53 Haha, that was very cute
Great video as usual!
I don’t usually comment, but your Hazbin Hotel Therapist series has made my evenings! I’m an aspiring psychotherapist and your videos provide really good insight into psychology and give me the opportunity to look at people from different perspectives (even though they’re cartoon characters, the analytical skills still apply)
Thank you for bringing a calm, helpful, and fun splash to my night! Excited for the next upload :D
I am so happy to hear that. I hope you enjoy the field it is difficult and rewarding as well.
I really like this series and binge watching everything rn. I was wondering if you're going to do one for Vaggie soon.
I love your costumes a lot
I'd love to see more Angel Dust videos highlighting his caring side. Angel growing to be a better person really is one of the best parts of the show.
Alternatively, something covering the Vees and their relationship as I think there's fertile ground for discussion with Vox acting as an enabler for Val, although that may need to wait for Season 2 when we get more footage of them.
i love these videos because you really help your audience see that even characters that seemingly appear to be one-dimensional can have more depth than initially perceived
11:30 husk just dipped 😂
I mean Vaggie was just throwing people off the roof. He's smart. That's how I dislocated my shoulder the third time.
@@riduckulus1574oh, ok
The one guy with wings escaped 😅
@@riduckulus1574 he’s a scaredy cat, literally
@@AmyAberrant he never used them beside season 1 finale
the fact that Niffty’s a roach demon speaks volumes to your analysis tbh
I was just looking a few minutes ago to see if this video has been uploaded yet! 🤣 glad I found it when it was first released! YESSS! My nifty!
I think you’ve just made Niffty my new favorite character of the show
Omg… this is why Niffty embodies my intrusive thoughts
i just realized you curled your ends for this cosplay lmfao i love the dedication
Hope you’ll do Vaggie next or Cherri Bomb
WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
oh, i would LOVE another angel dust video! he's my favorite character *because* of his protective, kind, and nurturing instincts and so few people discuss that. he's so underrated in that sense and i would love to see you talk more on it.
Here is my plot *theory:* Nifty was a young 50s housewife. The obsession with authority figures approval comes from wanting her husband’s approval for doing the typical 50s housewife tasks (cooking, cleaning, looking good, being a good wife etc.) probably also an element of “If I just do these things/do them better then he won’t treat me badly.”The obsession with bad boys comes from her husband probably being abusive and most likely cheating that’s why she has that “Never leave me” thing. Alternatively the attraction comes from a deep down wanting to stand up to her husband. I’m pretty sure she eventually killed her own husband when he maybe wanted to end things (and maybe she also killed one or more of his mistresses who knows). As for the bugs I’m really not sure but a very speculative totally off the walls theory would be that she killed her husband, *kept* his body and then corpses do what corpses do so that’s where the bugs, Investition and all that comes in.
YAAAAAAY She has OCD just like me!
YOU DID IT! FOR MY FAVORITE CHARACTER, NO LESS! I really appreciate it so much! You're amazing!
I loved all of the Hazbin Hotel character analysis videos! They were amazing! Now all we need is our girl Vaggie and the whole cast will be complete!
As someone who has chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, I immediately adored Niffty when she said, "Yay, pain!"
Still makes me cackle every time I hear it. 😂
I must say I am delighted that my suspicions that Niffty was a combination of OCD and Sadomasochism among other things were accurate. Personally I am curious how Charlie could believe that anyone that Alastor likes is harmless.
Phenomenal work as always, if there is going to be more Hazbin Hotel of course there is still Vaggie and I think there could be a short video or two on Carmilla and/or Sera.
I love watching your videos for the Hazbin crew, keep up the great work❤
Just noticed, Vaggie was super happy at Nifty stabbing the angel. A grin bigger than Al's.
YOUR HAIR IS SO CUTE OMG
So happy you like it was fun to do
Yes, please another Angel episode! All of these videos have been really good and Angel is one of my favourites!
Niffty is the OG! Hands down.
4:30 THIS! I’ve been dealing with OCD my whole life, and now through exposure therapy I set the boundaries on, I now can function in adult society when I used think I never could.
