Seriously, stop posting leak-based fanarts.

And if you're gonna do that here, please and I mean fucking please tag them as #hazbin hotel leaks & #hazbin leaks (Also, don't even think about being a smartass and committing malicious compliance please)

Anyway, here's my two sentence horror I had in my mind last August:

Y'know, just a midwesterner being polite and making small talk to the service employee, as one does to acknowledge another human being.

And I didn't even think before saying "I'm doing Great."

And it took like four or five seconds for my brain to catch up to my mouth and realize that I actually meant it.

No walking-on-eggshells, carefully phrased truth. No "welp, I'm here," or "I'm a-doin'" or other euphemism for 'hanging on by the skin of my teeth'.

I'm doing great.

I'm having a very calm moment in the storage closet (because it's been literally years since I felt like I could say that honestly), but it's true.

Anyways. I just wanted to let ya'll know I'm doing okay over here.

A happy bigot is going to be waaaay more receptive to a friendly, non-confrontational intervention than an unhappy one.

Like... I honestly don't understand what the tone of this ask is supposed to be. Mocking? Sincere?

"People who are happy being bigoted" probably do not consider themselves to be bigots. They probably consider themselves justified.

And they are still people. People are allowed to try to be happy.

If we see someone actively causing Harm in the process of trying to be happy, we should try to prevent any further harm from occurring, and then we should try to figure out why the harm happened.

People don't just wake up and think "I am going to cause harm today". That's not how harm happens.

A person causes harm because their actual experience of distress outweighs their ability to consider the hypothetical distress of others.

People who are distressed are generally worse at being people than when they are not distressed.

Thankfully, distress is a temporary state. Even if it sometimes feels like it isn't, because we have been experiencing it for so long. It is temporary. It can change.
