I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing: My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

The Wulver is a wolf-man found in Shetland, but unlike werewolves from folklore, it was never human. Wulver is not aggressive if left to its own devices, and is often seen fishing. art: Dark Natasha

So much foreshadowing/symbolism #Chaggie representing true love, #Baxter& #Niffty pure young love in all its chaos; #LuciferMorningstar admiring them & playing with his wedding ring, a symbol of letting go, #Alastor is laserfocused & besties #Husker & #Cherribomb miss their boys

#Chaggie maturing true love beneath #Niffty & #Baxter chaotic young lovers #LuciferMorningstar & #Alastor AGAIN mirror images on the fringes contemplaying the future #CherriBomb longing for #Sirpentious opposite #Husk missing #AngelDust #HazbinHotel 's symbolic foreshadowing is🔥

#MythologyMonday 🐞🌿 In Celtic #Buglore, a ladybug with fewer than 7 spots foretold a plentiful harvest 🌾🍀 If one lands on you, luck follows—but harm it and misfortune stirs. In Norse lands, the “Lady” may once have echoed Freyja—goddess of love & fertility. 🐞✨ #Ladybugs

I am absolutely LOVING #Alastor's #valentinesday outfit! The black with the white really compliments him very well without washing out his natural colors + am I the only one freaking out that jacket he's wearing is in #LuciferMorningstar 's colors!? #HazbinHotel #appleradio

Oh my freaking god they're jackets are in the other's color scheme? #LuciferMorningstar: white pink yellow #Alastor black red bright green And how magnificent the other's colors compliment each other? Absolutely NO foreshadowing there XD #appleradio #HazbinHotel #radioapple

MA!! THERE ARE WEIRD CAT LUCIFER AND ALASTOR OUTSIDE!! #HazbinHotel #appleradio

Hell’s greatest girldads💗

WHAT DO YOU MEAN LUCIFER GAVE ALASTOR ANOTHER LITTER??? #HazbinHotel #appleradio

According to Norwegian folklore, forest trolls are smaller than mountain trolls and usually more agreeable and less grumpy. Forest trolls are overgrown with grass and mosses, and therefore they blend perfectly in with nature and can be very hard to notice for the untrained eye.

This phenomenal breakdown is why #HazbinHotel & #HelluvaBoss villains are awesome: #Valentino being an SA survivor explains but doesn’t justify his actions but makes him the perfect toxic foil to #Husker & nemesis parallel to #AngelDust representing who he may yet still become
