THEATRE NERD REACTS TO HAZBIN HOTEL FAN SONGS

[@kaitlynchou358]

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.

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 KZbin channel of the series creator herself. 🤔

[@ikirbeeburgr]

because a fan wrote the song. The song was first released as a fan single on Silva Hound's KZbin 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

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.

[@thesausageman5388]

Imagine Alastor(who was a serial killer in his mortal life) killing someone, them going to Hell, and then him killing them again when he reaches Hell.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

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.

[@BlankNametagGaming]

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))

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.

[@yoshikatsu_kira]

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.

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.

[@icemagiciangh]

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.

[@fang609]

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.

[@OxiustheAC]

Addicted: angel/Anthony canonically died from an overdose of drugs before he ended up in hell

[@xenostar0]

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

[@rdfan7669]

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!

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.

[@SapphireMan]

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

[@MeatSim9]

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.

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

[@Arkhs]

The deer part is hilarious if true. Makes him considerably less intimidating haha.

[@sadgrunt1564]

When I heard weeby mention “50k” I started shaking from fear

[@witheringhowl]

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.

[@mr.leogorath]

"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?

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.

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.

I'm so happy you're finally seeing addict! Sorry bout your feelins, by the way. Addict is also one of the reasons why I love Cherri Bomb so much. ❤️

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

[@ucg-gaming]

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.

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

[@em01455]

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.

"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.

If you decide to do something like this again I suggest the songs smile like you mean it (Alastor) and we're sure to drown (husk) by paranoid DJ. I feel like they get overlooked a lot in the fandom even though they're so good.

Actually, in this selection, there are actually three songs featuring official VAs from tbe Hazbin Pilot. Addict, Insane and Heaven 2 Hell all featured (or 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 and H2H, and Elsie Lovelock as Charlie in H2H (Gabe and Elsie were both only the singing VAs for their respective characters in the pilot, but I think it still counts!) Additionally, Silva Hound and Black Gryph0n have both collectively done a few more songs featuring the other characters and their pilot VAs. Silva has done songs for Alastor (Radio Play), Charlie (Redemption Arc) and Husk (Royal Flush), with each song featuring the official VAs for each character (both Edward Bosco and Gabe as Alastor, Elsie as Charlie (again), and Mick Lauer as Husk). He's also done a song for Vox (Vox's Interlude), but no official VAs are in that one, and he's done a song for the spin-off show, Helluva Boss (also worth a watch) called Root of All Evil, which does feature one of that shows official VAs as well). Black Gryph0n only adds one more song to the HH collection, but it's a good one. It's called Thank You and Goodnight, and it was released as a final farewell from the pilot Hazbin cast, so it features himself as Alastor, Michael as Angel, Krystal la Porte as Cherri, Michelle Marie as Niffty, and Elsie as Charlie once again. Husk the character is in the song too (and Vaggie does appear in the background of the music video), but Mick Lauer isn't credited, so I can't confirm or deny if he was voiced by his OG VA, but at least everyone else with lines in the song was. Finally, someone else who does a lot of songs for this universe of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss is PARANOiD DJ. Most of the time, he will voice the male characters himself, but he has also worked with the official (pilot) VAs as well from time to time, most notably with his Cherri Bomb song Pop! (Cherri's Assualt), which features Krystal la Porte), along with a couple of Helluva Boss songs. They are definitely all artists I would recommend checking out, even if you go beyond their songs for this fandom!

[@SeveNezer]

listen to the PARANOiD DJ - 'Smile Like You Mean It (Alastor's Offer)' too, its my personal favorite of alastor)

[@FireheadLazzo]

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.

[@Jwbee0]

Wait till she realized that addict happened before poision

[@Pairfait_Cookie_Fan123]

The person cheri sings about in her segment was supposed to be in the zoophobia hell arc which is where most of the hazbin characters come from he hasn't appeared anywhere else though so its interesting zoophobia was an old project Viv had, she said she might revisit it but besides the first comic, concept art, and a youtube short there isnt much of it

[@candy6271]

you need to watch the "VALENTINO" Hazbin Hotel Fan-Animatic by Raphielle II and while your at it just animatics in general!

[@AstronomyGeek31]

Alastor was a evil serial killer

[@jrob4959]

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!)

[@ZeebouSpace]

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.

[@Blademaster50001]

On the off chance that you decide to make a part 2, I know of a few great fans songs, mostly about Alastor! "Let's See A Smile" also by Divide Music who worked on "One Hell of a Team" "Can't Be Saved" by Fabvl especially if you like the more emo/rock vibes "Hazbin Hotel" by DaddyPhatSnaps ft JT Music another banger that is just having fun with the song. I'm sure there are tons of others, Hazbin Hotel seems to have a big following in the nerdcore artist scene.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

We need a part 2 We're sure to Drown My Machine Smile like you mean it Deal Maker ALL OF ALASTOR'S OFFICIAL COVERS

[@ConfidentCritters]

Alastors game is one of my favorite songs Oh also in the official show Angel does make a nod at the addict music video. After Husk and him sing and go back to the hotel he is telling Husk about how Val took forever to count 3 bills and is so blind. And in the addict video you can see Val struggling to read 3 bills in the background 😂

[@OtomostheCrazy]

10:20 Alastor was a radio host. Also a murderer and cannibal. Vivziepop went over a lot of the backstories during Hazbin’s development
