This line makes me feel so bad for our Cowboy 💔

Picture it:

A younger Striker (who isn't as skilled as what we currently see) who fell in love with someone whose name is popular but not in a negative light, and does not pay attention to any who want their attention except of course our dear Striker.

Enter a fame-hungry individual who is also known throughout the rings of Hell, around the same age as Striker. Tabloids covering the fact that he is a wealthy and young individual, looking to marry, and Reader happens to be on individual's radar. Their attempts are shot down by the reader in favor of Striker every time and they refuse to lose to some Wrathian hick.

One night, Striker and his partner at the time are bar hopping, and the power-hungry loser wants to have Striker's partner all to themself because our dear reader is so captivating and charming, as well as having a reputation of some kind as well. An all-out bar fight ensues, and Striker is losing the fight due to being overpowered and outnumbered.

In a desparate attempt to save Cowboy's life, his partner makes a deal to marry the assailant as long as they leave Striker alone. In one last attack, one of Striker's teeth is punched out (or pried out). Reader asks to say one last goodbye to a barely conscious Striker, and leaves him with a pure gold locket/chain that he eventually forges into his gold fang. A simple reminder to Striker of when times were good.

Reader reluctantly goes through with the wedding, and is miserable. The demon they married got bored and "fell out of love" with Reader, and begins to bring home other partners, but refuses to break off the marriage. Basically the husband is crap, but reader is legally bound to stay married. As the years pass, Reader always wonders what Striker is up to, hoping that their d-bag of a spouse kept his promise and has NOT gone after Striker. [Side note: Reader NEVER fell out of love with Striker]

This is pure angst. I also tried to pitch this as GN as I could, I also my writing sucks 😂 idk this has been in my mind for awhile now. I hope S3 expands on Cowboy's backstory. Please feel free to laugh at this mind drabble of mine 😊

Yessssss, I'm always here for Striker angst. He's just such a good vessel for it 😩🤌

I also really love the idea of a past love, losing sight of each other but still having that yearning. It's the good stuff!

I think I remember seeing a fic at some point where Striker takes a job and his victim turns out to be someone he loved when he was younger, now married to someone else? I think?

Hi Anon!

I can't reply to your message publicly without sharing the link you gave me as well so I'll do it like this.

Thank you for your kind words about my work, it was such a sweet message to read and I'm feeling all mushy about it 😭💕

And thanks for the heads up! They already had me blocked. Thankfully it's just a screenshot they uploaded to express a deep-felt frustration about the work and a clear dislike for everything Vivziepop.

I understand the Valentino art (and the Hellaverse in general) isn't for everyone and I'm glad they blocked me if my art isn't something they wish to see. It's, indeed, not very tasteful to crop my art for their negative post, but at least they left me out of their discourse. I'll do them the same courtesy.

I did not give them permission to use my work for this but I won't engage with their negativity either, given that it's a screenshot and no claim of ownership over the work itself has been issued I think it's better to ignore it. I tend to just report, block, and move on.

A lot of people these days seem to think that actively hating something makes them look cool, or better than others somehow, and they clearly hope to find some kind of community in doing so.

I hope one day they find themselves surrounded by people who focus on their shared enjoyments, rather than the things they hate. Sounds like a much nicer way to spend your time!

I wanted to reach out too since you're an artist to see if you'd be interested in taking part in a charity event I'm helping to run! It's a Hazbin Hotel/Helluva fandom fundraiser aimed at raising money for the Lilith Fund.

We're having a 24 hour creative session made up of writers, artists, and other creators who are doing requests for donation reciepts! Others are solely doing their own targets!

If you're interested at all, we'd love to have you on board as a creator! The official blog attached to the event is @hellsgreatestevents ♡

AGAIN - YOUR ART IS AMAZING AND THIS IS PERSONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO REACH OUT TO YOU TO FANGIRL OVER YOUR WORKS! Your Valentino/Vox stuff has me in a choke hold ♡♡♡

Hiya! I’m SO fucking flattered, thank you! I really appreciate the support and that you thought of me for this 🖤

What an awesome idea for a fundraiser and a great organisation to be raising money for

Usually, I tend not to participate in things with a deadline or set time frame but this is for an amazing cause so I’m going to see if I’ll be able to anyway! At the very least I’ll make sure to donate and spread the word 🔥I might also contact you with some additional questions regarding the donations etc in case I am able to join, I hope that's alright

Don’t want to push you and be annoying or anything I just love your writing soooo much!

You are such an amazing writer and I hope to see more of it!

Anyway hope you are doing great and drinking water!

No time was wasted with this ask 😂

Please, don't worry about being pushy, you're not annoying at all! In fact, I'm still so baffled and deeply flattered that there are people out there waiting for me to write more ❤️ Even after taking such an embarrassingly long time to produce another chapter. I can scarcely believe it and I'm so grateful!

The short answer is that 'yes, I do intend to pick the story back up'!

The longer answer is that I don't know in what capacity this will be yet. Unfortunately I've been dealing with a lot of medical issues and energy has been very low and sporadic, with most of it going to other life stuff or a drawing every once in a while.

However, this season will focus more on the Vees and I think it'll match really well with the ideas I've been stewing on for where I want to take the story. I'm really, really excited and hoping for a ton of fresh inspiration that will fuel the narrative!

I hope to work on it soon and bring you all a new chapter with, fingers crossed, some commitment for future chapters

Your fic: The Exact Anatomy of the (ir)redeemable Mind is one of the very first longfics I ever got into. I know you haven’t updated it in a while, so I just wanted to ask if it was still ongoing?

Hi!! Thank you sm for your interest and the sweet words. My fic being the first longfic you ever got into is really damn flattering! 🖤

I'll probably combine these scattered answers into a proper post at some point as I know that, despite the occasional remark on bsky, I haven't actually done a proper info post about the status of things.

The TLDR is that I really want to get back to the writing as I have so many ideas and still a full outline that indicates where the story will go next. It's definitely not abandoned, however I am currently unable to continue writing.

Unfortunately, my physical health is at a point where I struggle through regular days and don't get around to doing much of anything, including the things I enjoy. Writing especially is hard due to the brainfog as even responding to messages is a whole task now, so I usually refer to drawing rather than writing on the days it's a little better, as it's less of a mental effort.

I'm working hard on my recovery though and hopefully, with time, luck, and effort, I'll be able to get a sense normalcy back and when I do, I'll 100% be back to writing as well! I just can't say when that'll be but I definitely haven't abandoned the writing, it's just on pause until things get a little better 💪

So, in summary: the AO3 curse is real and I intend to get back to writing the moment I'm able to again, I just can't say when that'll be…

I love the way you write the reader and al the characters in general, and I really felt as if it was easy to connect to them.

Your pacing and the way you write is also amazing!

Anyway I just wanted to tell you that it was amazing and it even motivated me to start mapping out the story idea I have had for like a year lol.

I really hope you are doing good and that a new chapter is in the works (tho no pressure)!

This ask actually made me feel all sappy, thank you SO MUCH for the kind words 😭🙏

Given how, when I started writing Hazbin fanfiction, I did so with the explicit intention to just make something simple and enjoyable (even if only to me) over something "good", there is always an element of surprise when people tell me they like it and are hoping for more. And obviously I find that extremely flattering, especially when I've not been able to update it for a while.

As I've probably mentioned before, I have had the whole arc until the end of season 1 mapped out for a long time now but then life got in the way for a bit and then I was stuck without inspiration to actually write what I had planned. Most of that, I think, had to do with the fact that I was still on board with the next couple of chapters but didn't like where I had decided to steer it afterwards and hadn't come up with a better solution yet.

Long story short, I do hope to be able to work on the next few chapters soon and instead of finishing the whole season 1 arc the way I intended I'll wait for season 2 to drop, because I have a feeling that that story line, with a bigger focus on the Vees, might be much more interesting to attach to what I have already planned 😈

I feel bad about the long wait but please know the story has not been abandoned, I just want to make sure I write something I like which, hopefully, in turn would mean it would be enjoyable to read!

I'm also really really thrilled to hear that my little story has helped motivate you to start to map out your idea! I hope you'll get a tremendous amount of joy from the whole process and I'm wishing you lots of luck and creative inspiration! 💪✨

I feel so flattered by the amount of people asking about this 😭🖤 Thank you so much for your interest!

I was saving this ask for when I had it all ready but it's taking longer than anticipated so I'll just make the actual announcement a separate post when the time comes (hopefully soonTM).

The TL;DR is that it's in the works! I'm currently working on finding the perfect fit and getting it all set up so please stay tuned while I figure it all out.

Thank you to those of you who have sent me (writing) requests recently. I'm flattered that you'd like to see more of my stuff and I also appreciate the acknowledgement of the fact that I don't usually take requests.

Life has been chaos and I barely have time to work on my running stories but I just wanted to say that I think the prompts are cute and that I'll think on it.
