Fun Fact: In the show, after Alastor threatens Husk when he mentions Alastor's "leash", a few notes of "Alastor's Game" play right afterwards! Very fitting considering the subject of the song, and the fact that the people who worked on the song also helped write the songs for Hazbin Hotel.
OH I DIDN’T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT!! It’s the little tune he plays when he says “Good talk, my good man! Alllways nice to catch up” right? The beginning notes of AG
Hi! I'm a rather new fan (since the hazbin reactions), but I really enjoy your content! I remember reading somewhere that alastor was a serial killer in his life and he died because a hunter confused him for a deer as he was burying a victim in the woods.Take it with a grain of salt tho! Would make a lot of sense. Greetings from Austria!
I also highly recommend checking out Thank You and Goodnight. It's a really good last hurrah from the voice actors of the original pilot and it's absolutely beautiful.
10:15 Alastor was the host of a radio show and a serial killer in Louisiana back in the nineteen twenties. And in nineteen thirty-three, Alastor was shot by a hunter who mistook him for a dear. That's why you can see an X on his forehead and why he has dear antlers and hooves.
One song you def need to listen to that's hazbin hotel related is Black Gryphon's final song after Hazbin Hotel released "Thank You And Goodnight!" It stars a bunch of the original cast singing goodbye
Addict isn’t fully canon anymore, but Angel does reference it in Masquerade- when he talks about Val taking 30min to count three bills, he’s talking about Val in the limo in Addict.
I like how in Hazbin Hotel. What's canon or not is seemingly only up to the fans based on comments like this being everywhere. Even when at times counteracting or straight up stating the opposite of what vivzie says about some things.
Addict it's not fully canon but the animation is a good indicator of stuff in the story, it made it pretty plain AngelDust and Valentino's "relationship" and also gives hints to potential future Cherrybomb content.
2:20 I always saw this line as Angel describing the reason he died and went to Hell in the first place. But it definitely foreshadowed how he would end up trying to break himself to get away from Val. Michael Kovach does such a great job singing as Angel and getting across how much he tries to hide his pain. And I love how supportive Cherri Bomb is.
I think “Despite having overdosed & ended up comatose” is the way Angel died, not about Val. Cause this is a fan song that came out after the pilot, so way before anyone knew anything about him wanting to break himself
I don't understand why "Addict" is considered a "Fan Song", if it is an "official video" that was created, animated and uploaded to the official RUclips channel of the series creator herself. 🤔
because a fan wrote the song. The song was first released as a fan single on Silva Hound's RUclips channel. Vivienne liked it so they made it into A fully-animated music video. just look up Silva Hound Addict on youtube and youll see the original video that came out before the animated version did
I love the current cast of Hazbin Hotel and think their are doing AMAZING work, but Alastor's and Angel's voice actors were fantastic in the fan songs, I mean Addict is still a banger.
My first thought when I saw this pop up was "please have One Hell Of A Team in here." It is by far my favourite fan song just by the sheer genius of its writing. It amazes me how much the meaning of the chorus changes when the exact same words are sung by two different people. Charlie trying to convince Alastor that if he gives her cause a real chance, they could do so much good in the world. And Alastor trying to get Charlie, the literal princess of hell, on his side to fulfill whatever it is that he is attempting to achieve. That much nuance off of a chorus of a FAN SONG that mind you was released before the Amazon Show aired, that can't be beat for me. (And fine I'll admit I'm a sucker for a good rock riff (and Ama Lee))
Interesting idea though, haven't really even seen a theory that the reason Alastor had so much power from day one of arriving in hell could be that he was making deals for souls when alive, either on someone else's behalf with a bit on the side for him or just straight up for him...
The idea behind "one hell of a team" is they are both trying to convince the other to conform to their ideals because they both know that together they will be one hell of a team.
Please don't miss "Thank You And Goodnight"! The original voice cast from the pilot did a farewell song to the fans right around when the Amazon series launched, and it's super sweet.
Have you already seen their other series Helleva Boss? Same Universe and Also a musical but more of a character focused story than Hazbin. Every episode is on and exclusive to youtube starting with a Pilot
I dont know why people don't recomend the pilot the only thing thats out of place is Luna asking for the cure for siphylis and maybe Moxie's Attitude towards Blitzo. And maybe Stolas wanting more humans to die thats kind of out of place but overall theres nothing super wrong about the pilot.
@@pjt1090I know some don't recommend it because its different form of storytelling to the usual show but it shouldn't be skipped just for that. Also there are a few more things that are wrong like Millie's hair, the human child in general and that he is in hell, Blitz having a third sister and his scar in the Imp siblings poster, and other smaller details.
In her last video about Hazbin with reacting to ep8, she did mention at the end she is interested in checking out Helluva Boss, so perhaps she’ll plan on that next for reaction(unless she returns to MD, she only watch up to ep3, so I’m curious if she’ll continue to ep 4-6 before ep7 comes out).
If you going to make a part 2 of this, I recommend PARANOiD DJ "Smile like you mean it" "We're sure to drown". The first one is Alastor being Alastor and making deal while the second one is Charlie trying to redeem Husk.
I was just thinking that too! I also like Vox's song 'Eyes On Me'. There's also Angel's song 'Use Me Up' and Cherri's song 'Pop!' that are really good. I don't know if she would want to hear Val's though lol
WOOOOOOOOO!!! Since we had to wait for the official series for about 4 years, these songs were all we had to fuel us for content, as well as the HuniCast streams (which, I could tell you more about!) These songs are a BOP though! Hope you have fun with them, Weeby! And always glad to help! Also Addict is no longer canon anymore, but it once was before the show got greenlit! Hope you find that interesting!
@@Cashcornpretty sure it was confirmed by the creator when people were asking how canon the pilot was. She said that the pilot was a “soft canon”, but that the one thing that was 100% not canon anymore was “Addict”.
If it's not Canon anymore then why does angel make reference to it in episode 4 when he takes the piss out of Val for not knowing how to count when they're being only three bills there
Angel Dust's death also involved Addiction if I remember correctly. So, his Addiction stuff is more than just his Relationship with Val Addicted I think is supposed to be like a "Beta" Song before Poison was written
Some people have said the person that was in Cherri’s moments in Addict may of been a toxic ex boyfriend she had in the past that ruined her views on relationships and may her feel that no one would love her outside her body. So she does things like drugs and f**king randoms because of that. If so, that adds a layer of sweetness and tragedy to Sir Pentious, as he was the first person in a long time or even just the first time in general to genuinely love her and told her so….and then he “died” as soon as she heard it. You can even see at moments like the moment he’s blasted or when Lucifer asks if they want food how affected she is at it.
15:25 That's explored in Helluva Boss where Succubi and select individuals are able to go to Earth. They do that by either having the ability to, like Stolas using his Grim Moire, or have an Asmodian Crystal in the case of Succubi and Inccubi.
I recommend listening to 'Thank You and Goodnight'! It's a fan song by some of the original Hazbin voice cast, and it's a heartwarming send-off to the 5 years before the main series' release.
I’ve been wondering if he has some kind of link to earth. With the swamp area in his old room, along with the deer that was _definitely not_ from Hell. Of course, the Louisiana-esk spot could be his own recreation of a place from his past life, and maybe someone with canonical access to earth sells the venison, but it’s interesting to think about. From watching Supernatural, I’m used to demons popping up to earth to make deals. It would definitely be interesting to see Overlords have that ability in the show.
An animatic and song I recommend a lot is "Valentino", lmao, I know, it doesn't sound good, but it's about Angel and Vox's relationship with Val, and the animatic is amazing, it has a whole storyline and the song is very fun, the whole video is a masterpiece (and the art was made by one of the people who worked on the Addict MV too)
Eh. He has zero depths. He quite literally is just an abuser that's all he's got, and he hurts Angel, causes us to hate him. We have such a violent reaction because we love Angel, not because Val is well written.
@@thesausageman5388 that doesn’t say much of him as a character, nor have we seen it. He has a moth motif, but it’s almost always hidden, and never shown off unless it was putting out the fire. Even if that was something his character had, that is minimal depth, and doesn’t add to his villainy. He’s still an abuser, and the only reason we hate him is because he love Angel so much. Not bc of him being “well written”.
Personally I find "Addict" as soft cannon in a way, as it was Viv's team that animated it, Pilot Angel and Cherry VA's as the singers, and it feels like the start of Angel realising what Valentino actually thinks of him, taking place before the pilot for most of the song with the end been after. "Insaine" and "Heaven to Hell" are also fun since they feature the singing VA's for Pilot Al and Charlie. And "Alastors Game" also has a funny connection with Hazbin because The Living Tombstone whent on to work on the official soundtrack for Hazbin.
Some demons can go to the human realm via summoning, (Lucifer says some details of his method in the his first song) and there are other alternatives, this is heavily explored in helluva boss, where there is a a book that can let you cross planes, also i remember the succubus having a crystal that can also travel to the human realm
Yes, both Addict and Insane featured/were written by the original pilot cast for their respective focal characters: Michael Kovach as Angel Dust in Addict, and Gabriel Brown (Black Gryph0n) as Alastor in Insane (he was only Al's singing VA in the pilot, but still counts!
also to answer 10:16 Alastor was a serial killer back on earth and he died by being shot by a hunter who mistook him as a deer which also then made him have a deer theme as a demon
I consider Addict pretty canon, as in the main series Angel makes a callback to part of the video, where Val is taking forever to count the three bills in the limo. "He had, like, three bills, and it took him, like, 30 minutes to count it. His eyes are so shit." He mentions it after Husk and Angel return to the Hotel in Ep 4.
Addict is considered canon: • Angel Dust’s piloy voice actor sings • Angel mentions the scene in the limo to Husk when they get back to the hotel after “Loser, Baby” Alastor is in Hell due to being a cannibalistic serial-killing radio host in the 1920s-1933 (when he died due to being mistaken as a dear by a hunter when he was disposing of a body (hence looking like a dear)) If you get the chance, listen to Paranoid DJ’s Hazbin Hotel songs. They have some non-canon story in them to help understand what’s going on in the song
Cool note about the song makers Silva hound and Sam haft (half of thelivingtombstone) have each done official songs for Hazbin Hotel and Helluva boss. Also Gooseworxs the director of the digital circus also makes music for Hazbin and is a friend of Viv.
@@numberonesoudalover what are you talking about? I never heard her say that the pilot isn't canon anymore,stop lying to people,the pilot is clearly canon
@@The_WIll_OF_D99 It's been confirmed that it's not canon but that scene in the car could potentially be canon, but in general it is not considered canon
So, first off, you should totally watch Helluva I’d love to see you react to that! Second, what did Alastor do in life that was so bad? We I don’t know if it’s canon anymore, but he was actually serial killer who *apparently* got shot while hiding a body in the woods when someone thought he was a deer (hence the x on his forehead in the show whenever he’s in demon form and his deer antlers). So him now saying ‘the things I did up there were high school but now I’m going for my degree” is.. mildly concerning lol
After finishing hazbin hotel I would definitely recommend helluva boss since it's from the same creator, such a deep show the more you get into it, enjoy!
5:30 there is a fan comic i saw dubbed of pretty much the whole hotel banding together to kill Val. starts with Husk, then Vaggie, Niffty, and finally Alastor all walking out like a posse
When you die and go to hell, you manifest into something that resembles how you died. In Alastor's case, he was a serial killer in the early 20th century, most likely around the 20s-30s when radio became super popular. He was also a hunter, and one night he was probably put hunting deer when he was suddenly shot in the head (where the x on his forehead is when he goes full demon mode) by another hunter who mistook him for a deer. So all of these things combined, him being very sadistic and stuff because he's a serial killer, the deer antlers and the ears because of what he hunted, and the x in between his eyes where he was shot, and also the radio of course because of when he died. And also his full demon form is based off the Wendigo, and you can even hear the Wendigo's cry in the background when he threatens Husk in the hallway if you listen closely.
Honestly, I thought Angel was a funny character in the Pilot, but he officially became my favorite after I saw this animatic. I just wanted to comfort him and keep him safe!
When Angel talks about overdosing and ending up in a coma, that (at the time of the song, at least) was how he died. He was in a gang (that’s why he always has guns), and ODed on PCP- angel dust. Unsure if that death is still canon, but that’s what he meant there.
Alastor was a serial killer when he was alive. He was actually killed in a hunting accident, when he was mistaken for a deer, when Al was burying a body. That’s why Alastor has deer imagery, and an x on his forehead.
15:16 Given that Helluva Boss is kinda sorta parallel canon, it's not entirely impossible that Alastor could find a way back to the living world. But he would attract some serious attention from very powerful demon lords in the process. I don't think it would end well for him. Basically, there are many demons who can go to the living world, but usually it's just Succubi and high-ranking demon lords. Alastor is powerful, but he's just a sinner at the end of the day.
You've gotta appreciate that all these videos were made 2-3 years ago and given how recent the show launched, you can see how Vizvie Pop watched all these fan films and took inspirations from the lyrics and added them into the scripts and story lines as like an appreciative head nod to all the song writers for these fan made songs!
Here is Alestor's backstory from what I've heard.. He was a murderer and cannibal (that's how he knows Rosie) and one day as he was barring the body of a victim in a forest a hunter saw him, thought he was a deer and shot him in the head. That's how he died and why he has deer features 😀
@_.xandxr._4714 I ment that's how they met in hell I know she's hell born ':D. Like since he was a cannibal when he was alive he hangs out with Rosie sometimes in cannibal town :D. (Although I did hear that some people are questioning whether or not she is hell born because "the announcement of her being hell born was "old" and its maybe "not cannon" anymore. Some are even saying she might be an angel but like bruh just cuz Vaggie turned out to be an angel doesn't mean that every time we meet a somewhat nice demon "ThEy mIgHt bE An aNgEl" 😑)
@@_.xandxr._4714 I don't think is ever said that Rosie is a hellborn, pretty sure its a fan theory. Also Rosie is a confirm Overlord which has been stated to be made of powerful human souls.
I just discovered your channel not too long ago and really love your reactions to Hazbin! Thanks for making such fun content and awesome commentary, can't wait to watch your reactions for Helluva Boss :)
Saw a therapist theorize that Nifty taking part of Val's fur as part of her "collection" might be like when a serial killer takes a trophy. She might want to punish that bad boy.
I'm fairly sure this is Alastor's backstory (his life in the mortal world): SPOILERS BEWARE He was a serial killer while he was human and he was killed by a hunter who mistook him for a deer (hence the atlers in his full demon form) and shot him (hence the X in between his eyes). The reason why a hunter mistook him is because Alastor was in a forest (or something like that) and was hiding a body.
11:23 - Alastor was a serial killer while he lived, radio host, and occultist, if my memory serves me right. His demise is where this line is quite the coincidence: While burying one of his victims in some forest, he was mistaken for a deer and shot by a hunter, ending his life. As a result, he has antlers, hooves, and x on his forehead when he goes full demon mode. Tangentially, in Viv's Hell, the forms of all humans who have become demons have some details that reveal how they died.
15:21 Funny you should mention demons visiting Earth, there's this cool show on RUclips called "Helluva Boss" and it takes place in the same universe as Hazbin Hotel! In Helluva Boss the main cast can pretty easily go to Earth using magic, even Hellborn demons like Succubi can visit Earth and they're (supposedly) weaker than Sinners or Overlords like Alastor.
"This Hotel is my Atlantis." Something you really want, but the World tells you it doesn't exist. That's how I read it. Coming out of an abusive situation myself, so I'd understand it feel like chasing a fairy tale to hope for something better. Especially when you're "addicted" to how things felt before, no matter how bad.
I love how the songs in the living tombstone made a fan song and after that Sam Haft (one of the two people in The Living Tombstone) was brought into the show to make the songs with Andrew for the first season of Hazbin. (and Helluva boss)
I'd highly recommend 'My Machine' by PARANOiD DJ. It's both a great song, and also an interesting look into how the fanbase saw Sir Pentious back when the only official media we had was the pilot.
You should take a look at a song made by the pilot cast of Hazbin Hotel! It's called Thank You and Goodnight on Black Gryph0n's youtube channel (who was the singing voice of Alastor in the pilot), and it was meant as a send-off to the series by the original voice actors/singers. In the comments, Black Gryph0n also answers some questions about the show and why they were replaced, with some really good insight into the process. It's a really sweet song, and I think it also works really well for the end of the first season.
THANK YOU WEEBY! Every time a reactor reacts to Hazbin fan songs they always miss the Divide and AmaLee one for some reason! So glad you managed to react to that one too!!

Addicted: angel/Anthony canonically died from an overdose of drugs before he ended up in hell
In case it hasn't been mentioned yet. Black Gryph0n and Elsie Lovelock are the singing voices of Alastor and Charlie from the pilot respectively.
I recommend listening to 'Thank You and Goodnight'! It's a fan song by some of the original Hazbin voice cast, and it's a heartwarming send-off to the 5 years before the main series' release.
I can’t be the only one that was obsessed with the song “insane” without having ever heard of Hazbin hotel
for a little info Black Gryph0n is the original singing voice of Alastor as the original VA had to much of an accent I think the reason was.
9:38 i think she knows
Yeah coz Edward Basco the talking voice of Alastor isn't the best singer but a really good rapper.
"Smile like you mean it" is another awesome song about Alastor. You may like it.
I’ve been wondering if he has some kind of link to earth. With the swamp area in his old room, along with the deer that was _definitely not_ from Hell. Of course, the Louisiana-esk spot could be his own recreation of a place from his past life, and maybe someone with canonical access to earth sells the venison, but it’s interesting to think about. From watching Supernatural, I’m used to demons popping up to earth to make deals. It would definitely be interesting to see Overlords have that ability in the show.
An animatic and song I recommend a lot is "Valentino", lmao, I know, it doesn't sound good, but it's about Angel and Vox's relationship with Val, and the animatic is amazing, it has a whole storyline and the song is very fun, the whole video is a masterpiece (and the art was made by one of the people who worked on the Addict MV too)
Even though you hate Val, you have to admit that because you hate him so much he's an extremely well written villan.
I mean, he's a great character, if we all hate him so much, that means he is well written
Eh. He has zero depths. He quite literally is just an abuser that's all he's got, and he hurts Angel, causes us to hate him. We have such a violent reaction because we love Angel, not because Val is well written.
@@Luminaryyxxfacts like if you wanna talk about a character that is better written itd be alastor who is both intimidating and unpredictable
@@LuminaryyxxI disagree. Val is flamboyant, his identity as a moth brings up several of his character traits. His draw to stardom, etc.
@@thesausageman5388 that doesn’t say much of him as a character, nor have we seen it. He has a moth motif, but it’s almost always hidden, and never shown off unless it was putting out the fire. Even if that was something his character had, that is minimal depth, and doesn’t add to his villainy. He’s still an abuser, and the only reason we hate him is because he love Angel so much. Not bc of him being “well written”.
Personally I find "Addict" as soft cannon in a way, as it was Viv's team that animated it, Pilot Angel and Cherry VA's as the singers, and it feels like the start of Angel realising what Valentino actually thinks of him, taking place before the pilot for most of the song with the end been after.
"Insaine" and "Heaven to Hell" are also fun since they feature the singing VA's for Pilot Al and Charlie.
And "Alastors Game" also has a funny connection with Hazbin because The Living Tombstone whent on to work on the official soundtrack for Hazbin.
Some demons can go to the human realm via summoning, (Lucifer says some details of his method in the his first song) and there are other alternatives, this is heavily explored in helluva boss, where there is a a book that can let you cross planes, also i remember the succubus having a crystal that can also travel to the human realm
Yes, both Addict and Insane featured/were written by the original pilot cast for their respective focal characters: Michael Kovach as Angel Dust in Addict, and Gabriel Brown (Black Gryph0n) as Alastor in Insane (he was only Al's singing VA in the pilot, but still counts!
also to answer 10:16 Alastor was a serial killer back on earth and he died by being shot by a hunter who mistook him as a deer which also then made him have a deer theme as a demon
The deer part is hilarious if true. Makes him considerably less intimidating haha.
You NEED to check out Helluva Boss, you going to love it just like hazbin hotel
I consider Addict pretty canon, as in the main series Angel makes a callback to part of the video, where Val is taking forever to count the three bills in the limo. "He had, like, three bills, and it took him, like, 30 minutes to count it. His eyes are so shit." He mentions it after Husk and Angel return to the Hotel in Ep 4.
Addict is considered canon:
• Angel Dust’s piloy voice actor sings
• Angel mentions the scene in the limo to Husk when they get back to the hotel after “Loser, Baby”
Alastor is in Hell due to being a cannibalistic serial-killing radio host in the 1920s-1933 (when he died due to being mistaken as a dear by a hunter when he was disposing of a body (hence looking like a dear))
If you get the chance, listen to Paranoid DJ’s Hazbin Hotel songs. They have some non-canon story in them to help understand what’s going on in the song
When I heard weeby mention “50k” I started shaking from fear
Fact: Alastor was a serial killer before he died
Alastor was a serial killer who ate his victims…. So enjoy the image 😅
6:00 people speculate thats her ex but that was just a really popular headcanon back in the day
Cool note about the song makers Silva hound and Sam haft (half of thelivingtombstone) have each done official songs for Hazbin Hotel and Helluva boss.
Also Gooseworxs the director of the digital circus also makes music for Hazbin and is a friend of Viv.
"Smile Like You Mean It (Alastor's Offer)" is also a *fantastic* fan song.
Also: what did Fat Nuggets (the pig) do to land in Hell?
Fat nuggets is a domesticated hellborn pig. You can see the ones they use as livestock in helluva boss in the Harvest Moon Festival episode.
@@hopesauce3324 Oh, OK. An evil pig would be fun, though.
Addict used to be canon but it is no longer canon as of the release of the official show on Amazon Prime
The pilot is still canon so Addict probably is too
@@numberonesoudalover what are you talking about? I never heard her say that the pilot isn't canon anymore,stop lying to people,the pilot is clearly canon
Arguably it still is because they reference Val sucking at counting bills
@@The_WIll_OF_D99 It's been confirmed that it's not canon but that scene in the car could potentially be canon, but in general it is not considered canon
So, first off, you should totally watch Helluva I’d love to see you react to that! Second, what did Alastor do in life that was so bad? We I don’t know if it’s canon anymore, but he was actually serial killer who *apparently* got shot while hiding a body in the woods when someone thought he was a deer (hence the x on his forehead in the show whenever he’s in demon form and his deer antlers). So him now saying ‘the things I did up there were high school but now I’m going for my degree” is.. mildly concerning lol
You NEED to react to "stayed gone" Lilith and lutes version its so good! Idk if its really canon but it talks about the deal they have
This channel makes me angrier than it should be
When I heard "one that cost 50k to make" I knew it was the verbalase 50k "hide away" chase [ft.charlie]😭😭😭😭
After finishing hazbin hotel I would definitely recommend helluva boss since it's from the same creator, such a deep show the more you get into it, enjoy!
Yes!!!!!! 100%!
5:30 there is a fan comic i saw dubbed of pretty much the whole hotel banding together to kill Val. starts with Husk, then Vaggie, Niffty, and finally Alastor all walking out like a posse
When you die and go to hell, you manifest into something that resembles how you died. In Alastor's case, he was a serial killer in the early 20th century, most likely around the 20s-30s when radio became super popular. He was also a hunter, and one night he was probably put hunting deer when he was suddenly shot in the head (where the x on his forehead is when he goes full demon mode) by another hunter who mistook him for a deer. So all of these things combined, him being very sadistic and stuff because he's a serial killer, the deer antlers and the ears because of what he hunted, and the x in between his eyes where he was shot, and also the radio of course because of when he died. And also his full demon form is based off the Wendigo, and you can even hear the Wendigo's cry in the background when he threatens Husk in the hallway if you listen closely.
Alastor was a evil serial killer
Honestly, I thought Angel was a funny character in the Pilot, but he officially became my favorite after I saw this animatic. I just wanted to comfort him and keep him safe!
When Angel talks about overdosing and ending up in a coma, that (at the time of the song, at least) was how he died. He was in a gang (that’s why he always has guns), and ODed on PCP- angel dust. Unsure if that death is still canon, but that’s what he meant there.
For more Hazbin fan songs I highly recommend Paranoid dj. They got some real bangers, especially "Smile like you mean it"
Alastor was a serial killer when he was alive. He was actually killed in a hunting accident, when he was mistaken for a deer, when Al was burying a body. That’s why Alastor has deer imagery, and an x on his forehead.
I knew insane before i even knew the show existed 😭
23:16 - Ok but when are you dropping the full version of this cover?? :0
I’d listen in a heartbeat
"Insane" is my absolute favorite ❤I've listened to it so many times 😅
15:16 Given that Helluva Boss is kinda sorta parallel canon, it's not entirely impossible that Alastor could find a way back to the living world. But he would attract some serious attention from very powerful demon lords in the process. I don't think it would end well for him.
Basically, there are many demons who can go to the living world, but usually it's just Succubi and high-ranking demon lords. Alastor is powerful, but he's just a sinner at the end of the day.
Fun fact i think that the two other people except for alastor in alastors game is supposed to be niffty and husk
You've gotta appreciate that all these videos were made 2-3 years ago and given how recent the show launched, you can see how Vizvie Pop watched all these fan films and took inspirations from the lyrics and added them into the scripts and story lines as like an appreciative head nod to all the song writers for these fan made songs!
Here is Alestor's backstory from what I've heard..
He was a murderer and cannibal (that's how he knows Rosie) and one day as he was barring the body of a victim in a forest a hunter saw him, thought he was a deer and shot him in the head. That's how he died and why he has deer features 😀
Rosie is hellborn tho (sorta but she was never a human)
@_.xandxr._4714 I ment that's how they met in hell I know she's hell born ':D. Like since he was a cannibal when he was alive he hangs out with Rosie sometimes in cannibal town :D.
(Although I did hear that some people are questioning whether or not she is hell born because "the announcement of her being hell born was "old" and its maybe "not cannon" anymore. Some are even saying she might be an angel but like bruh just cuz Vaggie turned out to be an angel doesn't mean that every time we meet a somewhat nice demon "ThEy mIgHt bE An aNgEl" 😑)
@_.xandxr._4714 the person who said Rosie is a hellborn is no longer part of the crew, vivzi has said that Rosie isn't a hellborn
@@_.xandxr._4714 I don't think is ever said that Rosie is a hellborn, pretty sure its a fan theory. Also Rosie is a confirm Overlord which has been stated to be made of powerful human souls.
@@_.xandxr._4714 when was that even mentioned that rosie,cause I've heard she's a sinner,stop lying to people
listen to the PARANOiD DJ - 'Smile Like You Mean It (Alastor's Offer)' too, its my personal favorite of alastor)
Wait till she realized that addict happened before poision
The fan theory about Val's smoke is that it's a kind of aphrodiac from his saliva, and it's what Vee uses to make the love potions
I just discovered your channel not too long ago and really love your reactions to Hazbin! Thanks for making such fun content and awesome commentary, can't wait to watch your reactions for Helluva Boss :)
23:15 It was beau-ti-ful !!! Loved it !
Saw a therapist theorize that Nifty taking part of Val's fur as part of her "collection" might be like when a serial killer takes a trophy.
She might want to punish that bad boy.
Alastor was a serial killer
Yes! Hazbin Hotel fan songs! Including Addict! This is all we had until the show officially released with a few comics.
15:25 Would be a cool concept indeed. Good thing Helluva Boss, Hazbins sister series, does explore it quite a lot
Cherri already did join the hotel. After the fight she stayed and helped rebuild and was with them when they showed it off at the end.
10:20 Alastor was a radio host. Also a murderer and cannibal. Vivziepop went over a lot of the backstories during Hazbin’s development
I'm fairly sure this is Alastor's backstory (his life in the mortal world):
SPOILERS BEWARE
He was a serial killer while he was human and he was killed by a hunter who mistook him for a deer (hence the atlers in his full demon form) and shot him (hence the X in between his eyes). The reason why a hunter mistook him is because Alastor was in a forest (or something like that) and was hiding a body.
11:23 - Alastor was a serial killer while he lived, radio host, and occultist, if my memory serves me right. His demise is where this line is quite the coincidence: While burying one of his victims in some forest, he was mistaken for a deer and shot by a hunter, ending his life. As a result, he has antlers, hooves, and x on his forehead when he goes full demon mode. Tangentially, in Viv's Hell, the forms of all humans who have become demons have some details that reveal how they died.
15:21 Funny you should mention demons visiting Earth, there's this cool show on RUclips called "Helluva Boss" and it takes place in the same universe as Hazbin Hotel! In Helluva Boss the main cast can pretty easily go to Earth using magic, even Hellborn demons like Succubi can visit Earth and they're (supposedly) weaker than Sinners or Overlords like Alastor.
11:50 “its the emote from fortnite!!” (Aka the most controversial one 😭)
"This Hotel is my Atlantis."
Something you really want, but the World tells you it doesn't exist. That's how I read it. Coming out of an abusive situation myself, so I'd understand it feel like chasing a fairy tale to hope for something better. Especially when you're "addicted" to how things felt before, no matter how bad.
I love how the songs in the living tombstone made a fan song and after that Sam Haft (one of the two people in The Living Tombstone) was brought into the show to make the songs with Andrew for the first season of Hazbin. (and Helluva boss)
Paranoid DJ is my FAVE! Look into him! (He also got some of his work into Hellava Boss!!! It makes my nerdy heart so happy!)
Fun thing for people who are curious about the choreo in Addict the story board artist posted a tutorial on here. It's very cool.
Fun fact: Alastor's Game was written and sang by Sam Haft, the co-writer and composer for all the songs on the official series.
Alastor was a Radio DJ in Louisiana in the 1920's to 1930's who liked to moonlight as a serial killer in his spare time.....
I'd highly recommend 'My Machine' by PARANOiD DJ. It's both a great song, and also an interesting look into how the fanbase saw Sir Pentious back when the only official media we had was the pilot.
5:40 Someone important to Cherry's story. I also like that they did to tell he's Australian he's literally wearing that hat
You should take a look at a song made by the pilot cast of Hazbin Hotel! It's called Thank You and Goodnight on Black Gryph0n's youtube channel (who was the singing voice of Alastor in the pilot), and it was meant as a send-off to the series by the original voice actors/singers. In the comments, Black Gryph0n also answers some questions about the show and why they were replaced, with some really good insight into the process. It's a really sweet song, and I think it also works really well for the end of the first season.
THANK YOU WEEBY! Every time a reactor reacts to Hazbin fan songs they always miss the Divide and AmaLee one for some reason! So glad you managed to react to that one too!!
May be a little biased as that’s one of my favs 😂 I still listen to Divide Music all the time, he’s always coming out with great anime rock songs
Alastor was a serial killer on earth, by the way!
I love that amalee did a Hazbin Hotel song. I'm a huge fan of her anime covers, so that's definitely one of my favorites
