Hi and welcome to my blog - my rambles and thoughts alongside some jokes and some probably sacrilegious humour! 18+ only: if you're a minor, you shouldn't be watching Hazbin anyway.
Who am I?
I'm a British woman with too much time on my hands, a doctorate to complete, and a multidisciplinary higher education in the Humanities. Oh, and a liberal sprinkling of neurodivergence, just for added flavour. Here, I want to satisfy my hyperfixation, keep my analytic skills sharp while I do my research, and also just have the opportunity to ramble. If you think there's an interesting element to Hazbin that you'd like me to write on, or you'd like to interact, feel free to pop into my asks!
I also have a Hazbin writing project, almost two years in the making, which I plan to launch with my writing partner @radio-sparks sometime in 2026. Use the #alastera tag to find out more!
On with the metas!

"Imagine a Y/N who went to hell around the same time as Pentious, so she never really understood the radio and television hype. She just prefers reading, and will learn her information via talking or the newspapers...."

I don't really know anything about it and can't tell you how I feel, but I will say that I think that having an android body would not be as cool as my imagination had been led to believe for years.

Because Tumblr doesn't let us have more than 30 images per post and every time I try to add more pictures side by side the bloody thing cuts out and makes me search for the images ALL OVER AGAIN.
So here's Part One and Part Two if you've missed it, and we'll carry on from there!
All of the descriptions from the Pokedexes are taken from the Bulbapedia website, which has all the descriptions on the Pokemon pages! :D
Emily - Swablu
Our happy, sunny Emily until the plot happens! Surely she deserves something as cute and as bubbly as her. Enter Swablu! With its lil cloud wings, it could follow her around in Heaven! Swablu is a really friendly Pokemon, and according to the Pokedex:
It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat.
Imagine Emily with a Swablu hat. I want to beam this image into as many people's brains as possible. Imagine it. Also, Swablu is very into cleanliness, and I can see Emily's Swablu helping to tidy up Heaven after the events of series 2.
Charlie - Scorbunny
Energy! EXCITEMENT! DOING THINGS! Scorbunny is an active Pokemon that zips about and never stays still. Remind you of anyone? Charlie at her most....um, manic would need a pokemon who could keep up with her even in the wildest of song sequences. The fire alignment of Scorbunny works well with Charlie's powers too!
Sir Pentious - Rolycoly
I wanted to give Sir Pentious a Pokemon like Klang, but it seems far too modern for our lovely Steampunky inventor! Instead I chose Rolycoly, for that old-school inventor vibe. It even has that going on in its Pokedex!
Fittingly, this Pokémon was first discovered in coal mines about 400 years ago.
It could trundle after Sir Pentious in his steampunk ship and even provide free energy with that furnace-thing it has going on! Also, it would be hilarious if it ran over his tail and he was constantly yanking the tip of it out from underneath his Rolycoly.
Cherri Bomb - Torracat
Another fire-type Pokemon, I think the perfect companion for Cherri Bomb (and yes, this meta has moved on from Hazbin characters as Pokemon to companion Pokemon to Hazbin characters. Shush.) Cherri would need a Pokemon who was just as explosive as she is! And something that has the capacity to be cute and soft too, of course. But Torracat could give as good as it gets in battle!
It can act spoiled if it grows close to its Trainer. A powerful Pokémon, its sharp claws can leave its Trainer's whole body covered in scratches.
Cherri having to cede to her Torracat when it gets all spoiled and just picking it up like "you lil fucker!" in a strong Aussie accent. You can see it, can't you?
Vox - Tentacruel
Poor Vox. He wants to be Sharpedo so fucking badly. But listen, he has to be lowkey disappointed in himself across all metas, across all universes, so here he is being a Tentacruel instead! There aren't maaaaassive amounts of electronic Pokemon in the sense of laptops and appliances unless you go down the path of Rotom, so we're going to concentrate on his sea theming instead! I think it really highlights Vox's brutality and, yes, cruelty, behind the friendly public persona.
Velvette - Tsareena
For our fashion-conscious Vel, we had to choose a pokemon that would be suitably flash. Pink-tinged and very stereotypically feminine coded, Tsareena is a good match for her! I like Tapu Lele's colour-coding too, but that one just overall seemed way too fluffy and cute. Tsareena on the other hand has that sliiightly bitchy vibe, like the mean girl that Vel is at heart. Imagine Tsareena just turning on her heel in sync with Velvette after she's gone and verbally destroyed your 'fit.
Valentino - Blipbug
Okay, this is more of a crack choice. BUT you have to admit that with his myopia, and his skin colour, Blipbug and Val do have a passing resemblance. Sadly not so its Pokedex:
A constant collector of information, this Pokémon is very smart. Very strong is what it isn't.
If you juuuuust changed smart with strong and strong with smart, this would be fitting for our.....not fantastically bright Overlord.
Lilith - Houndoom
Perhaps not an obvious choice, but bear with me! Lilith takes to Hell to a much greater degree than her husband Lucifer did, and I just KNEW her horns reminded me of something. Houndoom is suitably Hellish in appearance and gives off spiky and edgy vibes that I think works with Lilith, who is never particularly portrayed as cute and cuddly and seems to be the queen of, um, hands-off parenting. Its Pokedex also focuses on its singing/howling ability, like Lilith's:
Upon hearing its eerie howls, other Pokémon get the shivers and head straight back to their nests.
And its capacity to cause lasting harm:
The flames it breathes when angry contain toxins. If they cause a burn, it will hurt forever.
And that is it, guys gals neither or either! OR, keep going for a bonus round of a favourite OC, belonging to my writing partner and debuting in our Ghost in the Radio fanfic!
Bonus Round! Ilaera Llewellyn - Indeedee
The wonderful art here is by Echochoir on Bluesky!
Who's this, you ask? Ilaera Llewellyn is an OC written by my writing partner @radio-sparks! Yes, yes, I know - shameless plug (can you plug something that's for free...?). Ghost in the Radio is a writing piece two years in the making, a form of post-series-1, VERY complex and slow-burn romance, at the moment totalling 700,000 words. No, I did not get the numbers wrong here - 700, 000.
Co-written by both of us, Ghost in the Radio explores sin and redemption (what else?) and in particular the nature of evil with two people who make each other worse, but also better, in strange and unexpected ways. It features advanced worldbuilding of the Hazbin Hotel world, a meaty storyline, and amazing writing from my partner (only serviceable writing from me, of course!). It's written by two women who are among other things on the ace spectrum, bisexual and disabled, so you know it's coming from a place of respect and awareness, and it's born out of a love for writing fiction and having fun but is also being prepared for Ao3 publication. Basically we're having so much fun we wanted to share it with everyone else!
But who's Ilaera? Ilaera is a Welsh photographer from the 1960s who is in search of the ultimate art form as she captures her victims teetering on the brink of death - the moment the light leaves their eyes. Seductive and power-hungry, she seeks to climb up the ranks of Hellish society come what may. She's not your average doe, that's for sure! The Indeedee here is the male form, but the female form looked too friendly for my favourite sociopath! If you're interested, check out the #alastera tag on my blog!
And with that, the Pokemon series is complete! Hang on in there (as I'm sure all 50 odd of my followers absolutely are on fucking tenterhooks /s) for my next few metas, hopefully with that Abel meta I keep procrastinating on coming soon!
