Say what you will about Hazbin Hotel and viv but the whole thing truly inspires me.

Those were and are her ocs, some silly little gremlins she doodled and posted about and gushed about all those years ago. Scrungly little beings that rattled in her brain and who’s designs aged with her.

It inspires me because now, those silly little blorbos are on the big screen, on a major streaming site, are getting fanart made of their story and theories and headcanons blasted everywhere! She made it, she did it and people cared, she made people care. And- it inspires me that that could be me someday. Maybe one of my silly little guys might go further, maybe i’ll make more silly guys that have a chance at making it. It inspires me that she went from doodles in a sketchbook to an entire studio and shows with her characters with original soundtracks and professional voice actors!

I don’t post a lot about my ocs… mainly cause i dont get interaction so it feels like nobody really wants to see them, but i do care about them! I have a sideblog full of information about them and any art i make gets posted there, I gush about them and write stories about them with my friends, and i wonder if someday they’ll breach containment of those conversations. If maybe someday they’ll be somebody’s favorite in a game or an F/O from a show!!!!

Its a long ways in the future, im sure…. But things like seeing how far hazbin has come really makes me feel like someday… that could be me. I could make something that makes someone else feel the way i do.

I could be someone’s hope for the future.
