Charlie's mother tried to do the same thing [[NiceJobBreakingItHero but ended up causing Hell's population to grow, leading to the yearly purges]].
[[WMG: The Radio Demon (Alastor) is the BigBad]]
It's logically possible. I mean, the [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]], [[SlasherSmile the wide grin]], it just makes sense!
* The official Hazbin twitter has released some [[https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel/status/992872171272732672 character]] [[https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel/status/992879031182704640 bios]]. In his bio, Alastor the "Radio Demon" is described as a mysterious dealmaker and an all powerful tyrant with cryptic goals. While not confirming if he's the BigBad or not, it paints him more as someone to be suspicious of.
** Alastor's information was also released alongside Katie Killjoy and Sir Pentious, who are both already characterized as villains in the trailer.
This theory may actually be not too far off-base. On the unofficial Discord server, one user (Rook#9696) pointed out some interesting facts and tidbits about Alastor's appearances in the media for Hazbin Hotel thus far, and suggested a theory based on their observations.
* In the trailer, there are multiple times when symbols from Haitian/Louisiana Voodoo, called ''veves,'' appear around him. ''Veves'' are used to summon spirits in voodoo religion called loa, (or lwa). This is in line with Alastor being described as originating from the American South in his former life.
* One specific ''veve'' is for for Kalfu, a petro aspect of the loa Papa Legba. Papa Legba has a long list of qualities similar to Alastor in the show:
** Legba is considered the loa of the crossroads, and the master of "The Road to Success" (Alastor is the benefactor of the hotel & is backing Charlie's business venture, therefore allowing her to succeed), he is considered a trickster in nature (Alastor's nature in the trailer and in the storyboards show he is always smiling and seemingly upbeat), and he is considered a patron of musical talent (Alastor is the "Radio Demon", the radio being commonly associated with music).
** Legba is commonly depicted as a young, handsome man or a demon (YMMV on whether or not Alastor is handsome, but his fans will fight you on that) that carries a walking stick or a cane (Alastor carries his microphone stand with him regularly). The colors most commonly associated with him are red and black, which is Alastor's color palette.
** In of itself, the association with Legba isn't indicative of Alastor being the [[BigBad Big Bad]], but Kalfu is considered to be an "evil aspect" of Legba.
* Alastor's motives may hold more than meets the eye: [[spoiler:he may be trying to upset the spiritual balance in order to take over heaven. Using his powers to bolster Charlie's success means that he has to do very little work in running the hotel, and he would also be out of the spotlight. Charlie has to deal with the day to day minutiae, as well as the backlash, while Alastor does very little work, which is in line with a trickster personality in folklore.]]
** [[spoiler:If Charlie's hotel is a success, it would catch heaven off guard since theoretically no soul has ever been rehabilitated out of Hell before. Also consider how this would upset the spiritual economy; if redemption is possible, and your soul is eternal in Hell, why waste a short life span on being "moral" when you can repent for it later & get into heaven?]]
*** Probably so that you don't have to spend an extended stretch of time in ''literal freaking Hell''.
** [[spoiler:With heaven's position being weakened spiritually from an influx of unexpected souls and a downtick in morality, we could see Alastor trying to use the confusion to his advantage to take over.]]
* This theory is strengthened by the fact that, in terms of character interaction, [[spoiler:we never see Alastor interact with Angel Dust or Sir Pentious in their "turf wars".]] Alastor is described in his character bio released by Vivziepop as "an all powerful tyrant" and thus could theoretically [[spoiler:wipe the floor with Angel and Pentious]] but he hasn't.

[[WMG: The causes of deaths and reasons in Hell after for the characters.]]
* Angel Dust.
** Drug overdose or killed by brother. He was born and raised as a gangster and still seems to be an addict in hell, so he was either at the unlucky end of a scuffle or died due to narcotics or otherwise.
*** OD confirmed by "Addict".
->''I might have overdosed''\\
''and ended up comatose.''
* Vaggie.
** Car accident. She was a ruthless, controlling hit girl and was whammied by a mole or something she was in relations with.
** The wiki says she was a prostitute and has knives for protection, maybe one of her clients tried to kill her and gouged out her eye in the process.
** Suicide by hanging. If one looks at Viv's old art of her, there are nooses hanging from the trees around her.
** Was in an abusive relationship, and her abuser ended up killing her.
** She might be in hell for answering too many of her problems with violence (not so much an issue in Hell where ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer), or her implied misandry.
* Crymini.
** Dog attack. She was a chaotic, wrathful anarchist and participated in illegal activities like dog fights.
** Given that she's a hellhound (which are native to hell), she likely never died in the first place.
* Cherri.
** Killed in a turf war. She was a chaotic and bloodthirsty gang leader in a turf war with another gang leader, and ended up killed.
** She made a mistake and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard got blown up by one of her own explosives]].
* Katie Killjoy.
** Prop, had fallen on her, or murdered by a mistreated intern or something after she blamed them for the failing show. She was a ruthless, newscaster who mistreated her employees and would do ANYTHING for a story, no matter if it was true, or ruined someone’s life in the process.
** Another guess on this page is that she might have been hit by a bus while trying to pester some public figure or other over rumors that they were gay.
** AIDS, which she contracted from sleeping with a bisexual man. This might be part of why she's so homophobic.
** Suicide by hanging. Her neck is unusually long, and it snaps and cracks whenever she moves it.
* Mimzy.
** Was tortured and killed by competitor song bars, because she stole the spotlight. She was a prideful and over ambitious singer, who did shady things to be the top singer.
* Niffty.
** Suicide. She was a 50’s girl, working to be a fashion designer. To cope with abusive parents and struggle to achieve her dreams, she took up sewing. One day she met this cute, handsome guy. She was so smitten. They started dating but he too was a jerk and dumped her for this “hotter” chick. Heartbroken and enraged, she took her anger out on animals.

** Somebody shot her.
** Niffty was presumably some form of {{Yandere}}.
** Murdered by the wife/girlfriend of a man she was sleeping with.
* Husk
** Something related to alcohol, possibly a drunken accident or a disease contracted from alcoholism.
** Suicide by jumping from a great height.
* Tom Trench
** Judging by the gasmask and the name, he could have been a soldier who died in World War 1. From what little we've seen of him, it can be implied that he was perverted and overall unpleasant, and he was either killed in battle or in secret by a fellow soldier.
*** Another guess is that he was specifically killed by a chemical weapon attack that he ordered, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which was blown back to his side when the wind changed]].
* Baxter
** Accidental poisoning. According to the wiki he was a chemist and had a split personality, possibly from drinking one of his own concoctions, he could have tried to cure himself only for the other personality to take him with it.
* Sir Pentious:
** Killed by one of his own malfunctioning inventions.
* Vox
** An on-set accident.
* Valentino
** [[EvenEvilHasStandards Murdered in prison for depraved sex crimes]].
* Velvet
** Died in a car accident caused by her own distracted driving.
** Died in an asylum (depending on the era she lived in).
* Alastor
** Electric chair. For one, it fits into his status of a radio host, being that power lines and radio towers are electical devices used in the transmission of radio waves. Said power lines also resemble deer antlers in some models, trying into his AnimalMotif, and the fact that his assumed OneWingedAngel form has a massive pair of them. Seeing as how Alastor also died in the early 20th century it would make sense that had he been caught he would have gotten the death penalty and they would have used that method.
*** Alastor is stated to not be proud of his death and to dislike dogs as they had a part in it, so it stands to reason that the police used scent hounds to catch him, upon which he was sentenced to death.
** He was killed by police dogs while trying to flee the authorities.
** Shot by a hunter who mistook him for a deer.
** Bitten by a rabid dog. While today there are treatments for rabies, in 1933, the only thing that could be done was to [[MercyKill help them shuffle off the mortal coil]].
** Mauled by the dog of one of his would-be victims.
[[WMG: Angel Dust will have a [[HiddenDepths surprisingly]] heartwarming and/or tearjerkish reason for wanting to "go clean".]]
[[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Even jerks have loved ones]], and he won't be an exception. He could also just be secretly tired of the anarchy of the gangster life and wants to redeem himself from it.
[[WMG: If Angel Dust gets successfully redeemed, we'll get to see him as a [[HumanityEnsues human]] before he passes on to Heaven.]]
His spider form is a hell thing, isn't it?
[[WMG:If Adina is ever included in the Hazbin Canon, she would be the reason that there's overpopulation in Hell in the first place.]]
For those who don't know her, Adina is a powerful angel who seems so beautiful and pure but actually has the mindset of [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Disney's Frollo]] (but without the lust part), believing every creature, be human or demon, is a sinner and must be eliminated. The only creatures that are save from her philosophy are her fellow angels and of course herself.
Now, imagine if someone like her gets the chance of deciding who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.
You were someone who saved many lives out of goodness but were also an atheist? To hell!
You were a loving person who lost your way in life and at the last minute asked for forgiveness? Definitely not to heaven.
You were a good example to others and care for them but you also liked both men and women? Bye bye sinner.
She would simply not have mercy for anybody, and that's pretty ironic considering who is her Master.
It would be absolutely great if the final BigBad is not a creepy StepfordSmiler deer shapeshifter, not a demonic victorian snake, not even Satan himself, but a servant of God.
** It would explain why certain denizens of hell who appear to genuinely be good people regardless are there (such as Vaggie, who's only crime seems to be being a prostitute and attracted to women)
[[WMG: There will be a DarkestHour at some point.]]
Everyone has left Charlie, [[PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure including Vaggie]], Angel Dust has given up on his redemption, Alastor is doing... [[WildMassGuessing whatever it is that he's planning]], and all hope seems lost. Charlie, however, [[{{Determinator}} will push through it]], and it ''will'' be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for her.
[[WMG: Alastor will be a [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Dr. Facilier]] type character.]]
He'll be a suave but suspicious guy that'll give Charlie a bargain she just can't refuse, but hides his real, darker motives related to it. He's also surrounded by voodoo symbols in the trailer and has his own moving shadow.
[[WMG: Denizens of heaven will appear...]]
* and it turns out they don’t want demons to enter heaven, believing they’re all irredeemable.
* Or they could be the worst stereotypes of Heaven: [[CelestialBureaucracy a bureaucratic nightmare]], [[LawfulStupid lawful to an annoying and inconvenient (or even dangerous) degree]], full of the [[EgocentricallyReligious egocentric]] and HolierThanThou even if it's not just fundamentalist protestants or Catholics up there. It would be the gated community of nightmares-- all that don't fit in with the flock get kicked out. The stress of staying Moral and the ennui that surrounds the dead that live inside it make any sinner who tries to repent both laughed at and inspire jealousy and contempt, because the dull, empty lives they lived to get there will be invalidated. Nothing good awaits you inside...if anything waits for you at all. Which then reveals the ''true'' reason why there's been overpopulation-- [[HellOfAHeaven Heaven got so bad over the centuries, everybody started jumping ship]] [[ReroutedFromHeaven while barring the gates behind them to keep others from this fate]].
* Or they’re so [[TastesLikeDiabetes sickeningly sweet]] that they make Charlie, the kindest and overall most good character in the series, look bad. They fully support Charlie’s idea but demons then refuse to redeem themselves out of the reasoning that they might turn into one of them, and continue sinning to spite them.
* Or they're gone completely insane; the constant need to keep everything perfect when pure-of-heart souls start demanding ''basic'' quality-of-life-and-spirit necessities like the 'true' copy of the Bible, communion with mediums, communion with relatives in Hell, democracy, communism, cereal, washing machines, internet, romantic porn, smartphones, etc., all while accommodating people from different time periods and classes eventually drove the Angels mad. With the system in shambles, Heaven became a supersocial Hell of its own, driving the inhabitants just as insane.
[[WMG: [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous The more monstrous-looking the demon, the worse of a person they were in life]]]]
Charlie is the most human looking character we've seen so far despite her technically being the only character not human to begin with. Vaggie is probably the most human looking after her and shares Charlie's goal of rehabilitating demons so she probably wasn't as bad in her life time as some of the other residents.
* Does that mean Hitler would look like [[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]]?
* On the other hand, the HateSink Katie Killjoy is mostly humanoid, while her nicer co-anchor Tom Trench has a gas mask for a face.
[[WMG: Any redeemed demon won’t go to Heaven]]
* But rather, they go to Purgatory because their sins aren’t so easily atoned.
** Building on that, when/if the population ever finds out then the support for the Hotel will just ''vanish'': why try to redeem yourself if all you're going to is a bland existence?
*** Bizzare as it may seem, almost any plane of existence is better than living in Hell, even purgatory.
[[WMG: The series’ ending will have Charlie succeeding in fixing Hell’s overpopulation problem]]
* Only now Heaven has a overpopulation problem instead.
[[WMG: Heaven has the exact opposite problem: everyone stays too little.]]
It really is the good place it's said to be- a place to reunite with loved ones, live in paradise, etc. But somebody upstairs (either a corrupt angel or misguided filer) modified the place to function more like a temporary waystation: making it literally "a nice place to visit" before reincarnating them back to Earth or other worlds, factoring in the usual HellOfAHeaven arguments to account for why people wouldn't want to stay forever.
Hell, on the other hand, is "permanent housing", so to speak- it's built for people to stay, so subsequent reincarnations eventually get there (one life may be spent doing some excessive sinning, after all), causing the overpopulation problem.

We've already seen a crime lord, a prostitute, and a serial killer, as well as a few drug addicts, so imagine the possibilities of other characters who have been sent to Hell for whatever reason. Maybe they'll be clients for the Happy Hotel.
* A [[CorruptCorporateExecutive capitalistic businessman who indulged in questionable practices to meet goals.]]
* A [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi/Neo-Nazi]].
** Bonus points if [[AdolfHitlarious Hitler]] makes an appearance or at least gets a mention. Since Jeffery Dahmer exists in the Hazbin Hotel universe, then it's possible other infamous historical people do too.
* A nasty AlphaBitch or BarbaricBully who [[TeensAreMonsters died while they were still in their teens.]]
** Charlie's apparent rival: Helsa, seems to be this.
* An [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain overwhelmingly racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/ableist bigot]].
** Well, Katie Killjoy's been shown to be a homophobe.
* A [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]] serial killer who's an {{expy}} of Franchise/HannibalLecter (and is not Jeffery Dahmer).
* An [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal abuser]], a [[EvilPoacher poacher]], someone [[CruellaToAnimals who delights in animals' suffering]], or someone [[BestialityIsDepraved who REALLY likes animals.]]
* A [[VillainousGlutton gluttonous]] FatBastard.
* A {{Domestic Abuse}}r.
** On that note an entire BigScrewedUpFamily, bonus points for them being nice normal people individually, but going to hell because they brought out the worst in each other and weren't able to live apart.
* An [[TheCaligula insane monarch or dictator]].
* A [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapist]].
* A [[PaedoHunt pedophile]].
* A KnightTemplar. Maybe they could even be TheFundamentalist.
* A self-righteous person in denial that they're in hell.
* A [[HollywoodSatanism Satanist]].
* A [[ReligionOfEvil violent cult of religious extremists.]]
* A CreepyChild or EnfanteTerrible - kids can be evil too.
* A MadScientist.
** Confirmed with Baxter.
** And probably Sir Pentious.
* A [[ConsummateLiar pathological liar.]]
* An [[PyroManiac arsonist or pyromaniac.]]
* An AntiVillain.
* A(nother) FallenAngel.
* A [[EvilOverlord cruel ruler]].
* A political extremist of some kind.
* A scam artist who opens a competing (fake) redemption service.
* A {{Yandere}}.
* And last but not least, a [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking schoolyard bully]], who could even be the SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp.
[[WMG: Charlie will experience a RageBreakingPoint]]
It has been shown in the clips and trailers that her face can shift from a normal looking one to a demonic one with glowing red eyes. So I think eventually she might snap, perhaps due to things such as getting fed up with being disrespected and at the demons for not putting in the proper effort towards redemption and generally just no one taking the whole redemption business seriously. This could all cause her to snap and have her shift into a more demonic form such as a BigRedDevil.
[[WMG: Charlie has a darker side]]
Charlie is of course an AllLovingHero who wants to help the people of her home. But I think she may have a darker side, one that she perhaps suppresses. During “Inside of every demon is a rainbow” she at multiple points shifts her face into a NightmareFace, one thing to note is at these points she is always smiling. While she does of course smile a lot, I feel these smiles seem more akin to a SlasherSmile than her normal ones.
One notable example of this is how her eyes glow red and she dons a SlasherSmile when mentioning both fire and screams. So I think she has a darker/eviler side hidden somewhere. She is the Princess of Hell at the end of the day and according to the wiki her father is apparently Satan.
So perhaps like I said she tries to suppress her darker tendencies but struggles to at times. Perhaps she will eventually snap (which ties into the above theory about her having a RageBreakingPoint, which I also made.)
* this would also explain her focus on redemption, its not just that she wants to help others, she needs help herself,it would also explain why, if becoming a good person lets you escape hell and get into heaven, why is she still here?
** Because then she wouldn't be able to help sinners get to heaven with her Hotel.
[[WMG: Charlie and Sir Pentious are really NotSoDifferent]]
Charlie wants to redeem demons so they can go to Heaven. The creatures of Hell all laughed and called her a loonie. It doesn't help that the (apparently) only news station is going to make fun of her from now on.
Sir Pentious tried to conquer Hell, yet has failed several times.
At this point, It wouldn't be a surprise if some if not ALL of the denizens of Hell think of him as the local loser of the realm. And the more the demons see the cobra as a joke, the more he tries to be "hip".
Also Charlie is friends with the less evil demons (Vaggie, Mimzy, Nifty, etc) and Sir Pentious has the company of the Egg Bois, who look (and maybe are) harmless and seem to really love their boss.
Maybe in a future episode, Charlie would try to convince Sir Pentious to stop trying to conquer Hell and start helping them in the Happy Hotel so he can ascend to Heaven. And of course the snake demon is going to reject the offer because of his arrogance/pride or because such a thing of a demon in Heaven is impossible to him to understand.
[[WMG: Sir Pentious will get a VillainSong]]
I mean, he's the perfect type of villain for one.
* Plus, he's voiced by Stamper, who is know for singing songs (albeit silly ones) in video games.
[[WMG: Charlie wants to redeem souls the good way because she saw that happen before]]
According to some theories, in his final moments, Jesus essentially forsakes God, making him an atheist. Combined with him now atoning for all sin, Jesus is sent to Hell where he proceeds to save the souls of the damned and put Satan in his place.
Charlie, at a young age, saw this "strange" and pure soul taking the majority of her father's subjets to Heaven using kindness and love for the neighbor. And so the young princess followed the example of this man by creating "The Happy Hotel" so the souls of her people could be saved through redemption.
This, in retrospective, would be a double win for Jesus, since not only did he snatch the devil his people, but even '' his own daugther''.
* The "Jesus rejecting God" idea is actually [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer a common uninformed misreading of scripture]]. The line in Question is Jesus saying "Oh God, Oh, God, why have you forsaken me?," [[GetTheeToANunnery but he's actually trying to lead everyone watching in a worship song, as those are the opening lines of Psalm 22]], The Book of Psalms itself being a collection of old Jewish Worship songs. That said, most Christian Clergy do believe that Jesus spend the three days between the resurrection and the Crucifixion in Hell.
[[WMG: There will be a reference to ''Franchise/{{Doom}}''.]]
Since Viziepop hearted a comment by Saberspark that involved Doom and there are a ton of jokes and game lore about Doomguy being a brutal demon killer feared by all of Hell, I have a strong feeling that there's going to be an allusion to Doom in the show somewhere. There are multiple ways on how it can be done.
Ideas:
* A demon watching a horror movie where Doomguy is the monster.
* One of the demons will bear a heavy resemblance to a Doom enemy.
* There will be a news report on 666 News that involves the aftermath of a brutal bloodbath single-handedly perpetrated by an unidentified and mysterious being, either as the given topic of the actual interview or as a FreezeFrameBonus in one of the news crawls. Granted, the reference at hand would need to be subtle enough to not get the show attacked for copyright infringement, but just WHO the report would be referencing would go without saying.
[[WMG: Alastor is not the BigBad, but he is out for revenge...]]
Alastor's name does mean "avenger" and his cryptic goals might be revenge-based. How to take revenge that lasts on someone already in hell? You can kill them, sure, but then it's over. So...send them to Heaven, where they'll hate it, with the risk of coming back and being the first loser to fail redemption and possibly be an easy target or him.
[[WMG: Because of her help reforming demons, Vaggie will eventually get taken to Heaven]]
Being on board this reform program has got to score her some good points, maybe even unintentionally so. Potentially it would lead to a heartfelt moment of her and Charlie having to say goodbye only for her to be back an hour later after intentionally getting herself thrown out.
* [[PutOnABus Or possibly not]]; removing Vaggie in this sense could [[SpannerInTheWorks instead be treated as an unforeseen side-effect of Charlie's plan]], or [[TheNeedsOfTheMany for the greater good]], if not both.
[[WMG: Charlie's performance is a big reason of why Alastor wants to help]]
While he most likely has some ulterior motive, Alastor also seems like the type of person who loves good showmanship, and Charlie's big musical number got his full attention for better or for worse.
[[WMG: Alastor is going to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness frown]] at some point.]]
And it'll either be if/when his darker motives are shut down, or before [[OhCrap all hell breaks loose]].
[[WMG: God, Jesus, and/or Heaven will appear at some point]]
Over the course of the show, one or more slightly suspicious characters will appear in the shadows, sometimes providing aid or seeming to "check in" on them. One of them in particular seems very interested and supportive of Charlie's ambition for the Hotel. But given the fact that, well, they're in Hell, Charlie and her friends (especially Vaggie) are suspicious of help so freely given.
The big reveal for this group is that it is in fact Jesus and some Angels. Some of the group possibly think that he's been trying to sabotage their efforts. But it will be revealed that he/they really do want Charlie and her friends to succeed and have provided subtle aid behind the scenes over the course of the show. The major problem with most denizens of Hell is that none of them want to change. If we're going by the Christian idea of God and Jesus here, then he probably really wants to help them with their problems, but they need to take the first step (as a big part of most Christian Philosophy is that sinners need God's grace).
The key thing to this WMG is that there is no ulterior evil motive, nor is Heaven some sort of Crapsaccharine World. They truly do wish to help and gladly accept anyone who is able to move on. This is possibly what helps Charlie during her darkest hour.
* [[RuleOfFunny Also,]] Charlie will probably give Jesus an AffectionateNickname, like "Uncle J-Sauce."
[[WMG: Several scenarios for CerebusSyndrome]]
The show, so far, seems bleakly hilarious, and will feature Charlie trying (and failing) to redeem demons. But eventually, it could drift into even darker, less hilarious territory. Here are some possibilities:
1. Charlie undergoing a FaceHeelTurn after numerous failures.
Charlie so far seems like an optimistic, upbeat person. However, a lot of people seem to mock her, taking it for granted that she ''is'' still the Princess of Hell, and could end taking advantage of her faith. Going on one above suggestion, after one very severe humiliation, Charlie could go ThenLetMeBeEvil, and unleash a reign of terror the likes of which hell has never seen.
2. We end up learning about the [[DarkAndTroubledPast horrible histories]] of some of Hell's denizens...and its not going to be pretty.
Its established that many of the people in Hell are there because they reject the idea of being a good person. But why do they so reject salvation? Because above ground, their lives were plain awful. [[FreudianExcuse Some might have tragic backstories and traumas that they still struggle with]], [[IDidWhatIHadToDo some might have had to do horrible things in life to survive]], etc.
It is likely Charlie, while well-meaning, is a cushy, papered royal, and [[InnocentlyInsensitive her efforts might be dismissive of this]]. Charlie will learn that helping a person is a long process with no clear end. You ought to do it, but you can't expect everything will be resolved for the sake of it.
* Alternatively, she'll try to redeem someone who's [[CompleteMonster so]] [[BeyondRedemption horrible]] she ''[[MoralEventHorizon just]] [[TheFarmerAndTheViper can't]].''
3. Hell being revealed to be a DecadentCourt...with Charlie's efforts being a victim of their sabotage.
So far, Charlie, as a Princess of Hell, is a nice, well-meaning person. But the rest of Hell's leadership might not be so nice. It is possible that Charlie has serious competition on the throne-[[RoyallyScrewedUp an evil sibling, a corrupt uncle]]- who might do everything in their power to discredit Charlie. Perhaps they sabotage Charlie's efforts so badly, she ends up losing not the Hotel, but her reputation.
4. Alastor
Alastor could prove to be, underneath his jovial exterior, an insanely cruel, corrupt individual, and his plans will prove equally vile.
4a. Building on the above, if Charlie shows signs of successfully reforming demons, Alastor might sabotage her efforts. He didn't think Charlie could actually do it, and doesn't think very highly of happy endings.
5. Charlie might herself [[HeWhoFightsMonsters cross a serious line]] in her desire to redeem sinners.
Charlie, after some failures, might try something desperate to redeem people. Perhaps she makes threats, perhaps she tries BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood, perhaps she tries bribes (which she labels "positive reinforcement"). But in the end, she ends up becoming no better then the worst of hell has to offer. Her reputation falls, apart, her close friends want nothing to do with her, and even some of the less-then-admirable demons [[JerkassHasAPoint might call out]] Charlie for her behavior.
-->'''Charlie''' (sadly): [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone I just wanted people to be good...]]\\
-'''Angel Dust''' (seething with rage) Good? ''Good?!'' [[WhatTheHellHero If this is "good", I'd rather be a shithead for the rest of my life]].
[[WMG: Charlie went through a HeelFaceTurn sometime before the series]]
Just an idea I had. Perhaps Charlie used to be evil and cruel and generally just what you'd expect the Princess of Hell to be like. I got this idea for the fact that in some of the family portraits she seemed to be having a fun time with her family while in other ways less so, so perhaps at some point she sure the error of her ways. It could also explain the lack of respect she gets, perhaps the people of Hell feel she's gone soft and as such don't respect her anymore. Her tendency to make her eyes glow red could also just be a trait she has left over from back then as well.
Quick edit: It could also possibly have to do with when she stopped wearing dresses and also starting going by Charlie instead of her full first name.
[[[WMG: Angel Dust will end up in Heaven... at the worst possible time. ]]
Either he gets there only for Sir Pentious or Alastor to enact an evil plan agains his friends with him out of the way or it turns out Heaven is full of [[KnightTemplar self-righteous assholes]] who intend to destroy Hell and he's stuck behind enemy lines unable to help defend it. He may even end up an UnwittingPawn in their plan. They provoke him into acting out to "prove" Charlies Hotel is a front sending an invasion force to Heaven and use it an excuse to commit genocide on the entire population of hell.
[[WMG: The series finale will end with everyone leaving Hell...]]
...except for Sir Pentious, who will be happy to have finally taken it over, [[WantingIsBetterThanHaving only to realize he enjoyed fighting to be the ruler of hell]]... [[IgnoredEpiphany then he realizes he can use his new powerbase to invade Heaven.]]
[[WMG: Alastor will be give a second chance and redeem.]]
The whole show’s about redeeming yourself, and a lot of the art, suggests Alastor to be still quite close with the misfits. After the big finale, and he finally shows weakness, Charlie will forgive him and give him a second chance.
[[WMG: There will be canonically transgender characters]]
Charlie is bi, Vaggie is a lesbian, Angel Dust is gay and Alastor is asexual, so it's not like there aren't any canon LGBTQ+ characters; the best guesses at this point are Baxter (because he's an anglerfish, every large specimen found has been female) and Sir Pentious (who clearly isn't cut out to be a parent, in that case).
[[WMG: Molly is dead (again)]]
the death of his only blood relative to actually care about him may be what motivated Angel to try redeeming himself, and we don't know at this point if she'll show up in the series alive
[[WMG: In life, in addition to being a Radio Host, Alastor was an EgomaniacHunter...[[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame of people]].]]
We know that in life, he was a SerialKiller. Now that he's in Hell, he has a [[AnimalMotif deer motif]]. Perhaps in life, he enjoyed hunting other humans [[KarmicTransformation as if they were deer]].
[[WMG: Katie Killjoy could become one of the series' main antagonists]]
Katie Killjoy is, well, a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin killjoy]], especially toward poor Charlie and her noble goals, and in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfYbf5fADyY this clip]], makes it clear how little she thinks of it. Now, this could be seen as disdain for what Killjoy sees a rather childish goal and a desire to push her own ideas. But what if Killjoy has more sinister motives? What if she opposes the hotel because the redemption of sinners would hurt her bottom line? I can see her using her reputation to not only badmouth Charlie, but outright sabotage her efforts in an attempt to keep her own position in check, going from vain and selfish to downright evil.
-->'''Charlie''' ''(distraught)'': Why are you doing this?\\
'''Katie''': [[PrivilegeMakesYouEvil Ratings, darling]]. Death and violence are what make the bank, not your ''silly, gooey talk of love!'' Whenever some asshole gets blown up, I get more money in my pocket. I want things to... stay that way.
[[WMG: Charlie will only be successful once she learns to [[GrewASpine grow a spine]]]]
Charlie herself seems to be a bit of a pushover, considering the amount of disrespect she endures from everyone else. Perhaps, when she runs the hotel, she'll end up letting others take advantage of her. Only when she gets tough will she start to succeed.
[[WMG: Lucifer allows his daughter to do the hotel just as a joke]]
Lucifer possibly allowed his daughter to make the hotel so that he could either; A) teach her the harsh reality that not everyone can be redeemed. B) humor her so that she would stop bugging him about it, believing she will have no success. or C) he is allowing her to do this as a practical joke, it could be possible that Lucifer may have planted the idea of a rehabilitation hotel in his daughters head so that he could see her fail (it would certainly fit his persona as the great deceiver and father of lies) and the reason no one respects Charlie is because everyone gets the joke except her.
* Building on the idea of him doing it just to let her fail ForTheEvulz, Charlie as a whole is one giant joke to him. With the interpretation of Lucifer in this verse being unrepentantly evil, he had Charlie specifically so that he could pervert and destroy their father-daughter relationship (perhaps in a dark way of sticking it to God his father for throwing him out of Heaven). Lucifer probably manipulates Charlie into thinking that he's a loving father, or at least that there's a hope that he'll love her, but he's secretly laughing behind her back about how stupid she is to think this. Under this interpretation, he'll be nonplussed and probably enraged if Charlie's Hotel actually manages to succeed.
[[WMG: When a demon dies in Hell, they get sent to Avichi.]]
* ... Explanation on what Avichi is, please?
[[WMG: Cordie from WebAnimation/{{Cliffside}} will make a cameo as one of Angel Dust's ancestors.]]
[[WMG: The ghost of Creator/JohnMilton will make an appearance]]
Because, why not?
[[WMG: Charlie will be a WellDoneDaughterGirl]]
Based on how her mother is looking at her in one and two of the family photos, it's safe to say that Lilith [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent may not be a huge fan of Charlie's more siller side]].
** Definitely looking likely with Charlie's phone call to her.
[[WMG: Charlie's more dangerous than she looks/acts, and the other Demons seem to know it]]
Well, this one's largely based on drawing parallels between her and Alastor. Namely they're the only two characters so far to have a specific GameFace, and a more normal appearance otherwise. That, and [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1094341412659781632 apparently the Royal family is usually something to be feared]] but Charlie's such a innocent pushover that they don't see her as very threatening. That is, except even in the middle of her honest-to-goodness ''Disney Princess Musical Number'', Charlie going all horned and spiky-mouthed is enough to spook them. That, and as the daughter of the fallen angel Lucifer, she ''might'' still be angel enough to count for the killing permanently thing.
[[WMG: The one little problem with Charlie's plan]]
As soon as she redeems one sinner and gets Heaven to notice what's going on, they're probably going to pull her into Heaven too. [[AllLovingHero And it's not like they're wrong to do it]]. Which leads Charlie to try and "sin" her way back out....[[PokeThePoodle very poorly]].
[[WMG: Characters from Zoophobia will show up]]
Most likely the denizens of Hell from that series. It'll likely only be a cameo role, but it would be an interesting way of connecting the two series. Perhaps at one point, Damian Beelzly will show up to offer some support for Charlie via putting on a performance with his Banjo, who mentions that he's a "cousin" of sorts.
[[WMG: Charlie will demonstrate she is not someone to be taken lightly, in a very serious situation]].
So far, almost everyone in hell sees Charlie as a pushover, for being a nice princess in a not-particularly nice world. But when someone [[BerserkButton pushes her buttons-hurting her friends, destroying her hotel...]] well, they will greatly regret it.
--> '''Charlie''': I've always been a good girl [[BewareTheNiceOnes (her face twists into a wicked smile)]]...[[LetsGetDangerous but you want evil. I'll show it to you!]]
[[WMG: Alastor will turn out to be a good guy]]
Or at the very least, a WellIntentionedExtremist. From what little we know about the series at the moment, Hell seems full up of not just Humans, but Demons and potentially other creatures.
For this WMG: Demons hold the most power overall and make things . . . well . . . hell for the human souls living there. Alastor is noted as being (according to Vaggie) a mortal prior to his arrival in Hell. Upon seeing the horrible conditions faced by most mortals, despite potentially not being a very good person himself, he decided to try and do something about it. He needed to amass power which is how he started off on his path to becoming the Radio Demon, a mysterious warlord who keeps to himself.
For this theory, Alastor is not particularly nice, arguably not very good even, but he is working towards the ultimate good for the downtrodden of Hell. And when he sees Charlie's pitch for a Hotel that'll allow souls an escape from Hell, he jumps on the chance right away.
He'll have to hide that he's a "good" guy for most of the time, but potentially he'll let his guard down once he gets to personally know Charlie and perhaps the others and will finally tell his story to them and separates the facts from the lies he let circulate to increase his rep.
[[WMG: Alastor is an angel in disguise]]
Sent to hell relatively recently for a specific purpose, as opposed to being a fallen angel
* In the first trailer, one of the angels sent to hell has an OminousVisualGlitch over its face, and in the intro to the pilot, they bear a disconcerting grin similar to Alastor's. Moreover, Vaggie explicitly notes that Alastor's power is very unusual (indeed, unprecedented for a mortal) and that there's a lot of speculation about its source, which suggests it is going to be important.
[[WMG: Alastor plans to [[HellHasNewManagement take over Hell itself]] through Charlie]]
Alastor was a mortal, newcomer demon who managed to climb the political ladder and overthrow ancient demon lords, gaining power and a sinister reputation along the way. Who says his lust for power and glory has not been sated? Perhaps he is seeking to rise to the top of the Hell hegemony. And what better way to do that, then to exploit naïve Daughter of Lies herself. Charlie may not have much respect, but she probably has the ability and the connections needed for such a plan to go forward.
[[WMG: Angel is going to learn about Alastor's power the hard way]]
So far, Angel has shown little understanding of Alastor, despite being in hell for years. It is possible he might be incredibly condescending of Alastor...until Angel pushes his luck, and Alastor takes the time to remind he not someone to be taken lightly.
[[WMG: Alastor and Satan are working together]]
Vivziepop has confirmed that the royal family of Hell is only respected and only holds actual sway purely through fear, with a lot of it coming from [[{{Satan}} association]]. The Devil, being the Devil, probably wants to change that, so when Alastor died, he knowingly bestowed dark powers to him in return for his loyalty, which he agreed to. Alastor would then secretly serve as Satan's top enforcer and assassin, allowing him to perform the feats that made him so feared in "A Cautionary Tale", such as dispatching powerful gangs and hellish warlords that would pose a threat to Lucifer's hold on Hell's throne(let's face it, the only reason why Sir Pentious isn't dead yet is because he's too incompetent to come close to being worthy of Satan's concern). This brings me to Alastor's motives for the Hotel; Charlie's father sent him to pose as a supporter for her Hotel in hopes that Alastor would secretly sabotage her efforts while keeping his own hands clean(well, as clean as the Devil can get, anyway). Given the fact that Satan has always been [[TheCorrupter deceitful]], [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], and [[TheChessmaster cunning]], as well as someone with a [[AGodAmI serious god-complex]] [[ItsAllAboutMe and ego]], I wouldn't put such a thing behind him, and it would certainly explain Alastor's hand in things as well.
[[WMG: There will be an episode that shows Charlie as her worst possible self.]]
It [[TheSociopath will]] ''[[ManipulativeBastard not]]'' [[HeelFaceBrainwashing be pretty]]. Something will cause Charlie to fully break down and decide that if no one in Hell wants to reform, she'll make them reform. To her friends horror, she becomes a terrifyingly competent borderline [[CompleteMonster Complete Monster]], only held back by her weakened desire to actually help people and her barely intact love for her friends. [[TheChessmaster She manipulates enemies of the hotel into working for her]], [[XanatosSpeedChess runs several gambits at once that force Hell's inhabitants into the Hotel]], and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking changes her ]][[EvilCostumeSwitch suit into a dress]].
[[WMG: Alternatively, Charlie going rogue might ''save'' the hotel]]
Charlie, as we've discussed, has the potential of snapping really badly. It is possible that her snapping might be the ''scariest'' thing Hell witnesses. As they say "demons run when a good guy goes on the warpath." But it can also be saddening, watching a decent person lose their equanimity. Seeing this might make the less-then-noble demons who Charlie has tried (and failed) to help to [[HeelRealization realize how loathsome they really are, that they've crushed the heart of some girl who may be naïve, but just wants what is right]]. They may alternatively try and run the hotel out of repentence, or even use Charlie's lessons to talk her down.
[[WMG: Redeeming sinners might actually be part of Alastor's plan]]
At first, Charlie might heed Vaggie's advice and give the Radio Demon a cold shoulder. But, once her efforts go nowhere, Charlie will finally let the Radio Demon in. To everyone's surprise, Alastor actually will be very good at redeeming people. But this might end up furthering Alastor's ambitions. Perhaps by redeeming certain demons, he is clearing competition for himself. Perhaps as a ManipulativeBastard, he can use the hotel to get demons to do his bidding.
[[WMG: What happens if Charlie's hotel starts to...work?]]
So far, Charlie is seen as utterly ineffectual by all of demons of hell. And for the first few episodes, she won't [[FailureHero exactly prove them wrong]]. But what if by some concerted action, [[ThrowTheDogABone Charlie actually gets someone INTO heaven]]? What if she actually redeems a soul? It isn't too much of a stretch to think there isn't someone in Hell who wants to regain his[=/=]her soul. How will hell react to one soul successfully regaining [his=/=her] and rising into heaven, halo, wings and all?
Well...[[WhamEpisode shit could]] [[CerebusSyndrome start going down]] [[FromBadToWorse after that]].
I mean, if one soul gets into heaven, perhaps other souls can also be redeemed. Soon, more people start lining up at the Hotel, trying to get redeemed. Suddenly Charlie isn't a joke anymore, and starts getting a bit more respect.
But this could also attract Charlie some unwanted attention. Hell apparently has been overcrowded for a while, and which Charlie is trying to fix. But what if Charlie's actions don't just help people, but challenge Hell's very power structure? There could be several groups determined to stop Charlie.
The demon lords, whose power depends on a permanent harvest of wicked souls. If Charlie were to redeem even a few of them, they might attack the Hotel, seeing it as a threat to power. And, being Hell demons, they certainly won't have any qualms hurting some [[NiceGuy nice girl]]. What if Big Daddy Lucifer himself feels threatened by Charlie's actions?
[[WMG: Alastor doesn't really have a plan, he just wants to laugh]]
Alastor, despite apparently being a mortal soul, has the ability to topple demon overlords, and a nasty reputation to boot. So why he is bothering to assist Charlie? [[ItAmusedMe He just wants to amuse himself]].
[[WMG: Husk and Nifty are recruited for Charlie's hotel by Alastor]]
It's been implied that Husk and Nifty either actively work with Alastor or have associated with him in the past. When Alastor is shown among the greatest villains in all of hell, their silhouettes can be seen behind him, making this seem more likely. Not to mention in a ViceCity like hell, there would be no shortage of bars for Husk to have found work elsewhere.
** Confirmed in the pilot episode.
[[WMG: Charlie might end up praying to God help out of desperation]]
[[{{Irony}} The daughter of Lucifer praying to the Big G]]? When Charlie [[DespairEventHorizon hits a low point in her life]], [[PrayerIsALastResort she might say a prayer to Lord Almighty for help]]. There are several things that could happen.
1. She does get help from God instantly.
2. She is ignored outright.
3. She doesn't get help ''immediately''...
She says a prayer, but when no help arrives, she just walks away in frustration. However, subtle clues point her to the things she needs to do, strangers provide her the tools, and eventually Charlie gets what she needs.
* Also, instead of calling him by his title, Charlie will address God in her prayer as "Grandpa."
[[WMG: Alastor is NOT the Big Bad of the series]]
Think about it: over the years of cartoons, they don’t usually come out until the season finale. If Alastor was the big bad, why was he first seen in the first episode? They would have waited until the season finale.
2. Alastor may be one of the most powerful demons in Hell, but he’s not stupid. He wouldn’t just go and just kill Charlie and her friends just because he felt like it. Plus Charlie is a princess, Alastor don’t look like the type that would do something that reckless.
3. In a recent stream, Viv reveal that in order to be Alastor’s friend, he would need to find you funny and entertainment. It’s clear that he found Charlie funny and entertainment so he choose to help and be friend her.
4. If he really was the big bad of the series, wouldn’t he rule or at least try to rule Hell by now? He does have strong powers to “erase” demons but it clear that he’s not interested in getting land or anything. He just cares about entertainment.
[[WMG: Lucifer was the one who gave Alastor his immense power]]
According to “A Cautionary Tale” Vaggie said “that kind of raw power have never been harnessed by a mortal soul before.” It wouldn’t make sense for Alastor to automatically gain powers like that once he died. Only Lucifer has that power and it's most likely he gave the powers to Alastor to see if he could handle it and help him get rid of the overlords. So basically Lucifer just needed a bodyguard/enforcer and chose Alastor.
[[WMG: Alastor is secretly sent by Lucifer to keep an eye on Charlie]]
Lucifer and Lilith clearly have faith in their daughter but are worried about her well being. They decided to send one of their most powerful and intelligent demons to be their eyes and ears and tell them what’s going on so they can know their daughter is okay.
[[WMG: Charlie’s reason to help reform demons]]
Even though she was born in Hell, Charlie usually don’t mind the drugs, turf wars, porno, etc. It was like she most likely heard from her parents how some people was sent to Hell due to being abused and corrupted by society. Even the laws was changed over the years and it made Charlie feel bad for those people. It could be possible that she just want to help those who been in Hell longer than a decade for that reason.
[[WMG: Deep down, Katie is just [[GreenEyedMonster jealous of Charlie]]]]
Katie is just a news reporter and Charlie is the Princess of Hell. Katie most likely felt like her status was being threatened and wanted to prove to everybody she’s more popular and better than Charlie.
[[WMG: Lucifer and Lilith secretly hate the yearly extermination too]]
It could be possible they hate the extermination and losing their people as well. But felt like they had no other choice because they didn’t know what else to do and feel like the purges are the quickest way to fix overpopulation in Hell. Once Charlie told them her hotel idea, they agree with it not only because it’s peaceful, it would help give their daughter independence and look it as baby steps on ruling Hell someday.
[[WMG: Charlie will unintentionally get ''herself'' sent to Heaven]]
Her heart is good and pure, something that should be an impossibility in Hell. If she succeeds in redeeming a demon's soul and sending them to Heaven, the angels might learn about her from said redeemed soul. God would then pluck her from Hell to take her "rightful place" in paradise. This can open the door for any number of story beats. Does Charlie like Heaven? Would she want to stay or try to go back to Hell? What would her father do when he finds out his daughter's in the care of his mortal enemy?
[[WMG: Alastor's victims [[AssholeVictim had it coming]]]]
In life, Alastor was disgusted by the evils of humanity. So he sought to [[PayEvilUntoEvil purge the world of the worst]]: mobsters, violent supremacists, sex offenders, assassins, robbers, terrorists, [[SerialKillerKiller other serial killers]], and plenty more varieties of scumbag. Coming to Hell after sending lots of absolutely terrible people ahead of him, he wiped out some of its worst inhabitants, but found that more kept coming. That's why he's supporting Charlie's hotel plan: he wants to weed out the truly irredeemable so he can kill them. It's also possible that part of him genuinely wants to see people reformed, and views the hotel as an incentive for people to escape his wrath (and/or his wrath as an incentive for people to go to the hotel).
[[WMG: Charlie will have her own personal nemesis]]
While Charlie may be nice, she IS a prominent (if mocked) figure in Hell. What's to stop her from having someone in Hell [[ArchEnemy who hates her guts]], [[TheResenter envies her fame and position]], or just likes [[ForTheEvulz to hurt her for fun]]. Charlie might also [[NotSoAboveItAll resent this person dearly]], [[TurnTheOtherCheek take her insults in strides]] or [[UnknownRival initially be oblivious to this person's hatred]]. This person could come in many different forms:
* An AlphaBitch-type royal figure in Hell who is [[EvilCounterpart Charlie's opposite]]: [[CardCarryingVillain very, very evil and takes demented joy in hurting Charlie and her goals]].
** This one seems to be filled by Helsa.
* Someone who opens their own "Redemption Hotel", but unlike Charlie, does it for self-serving, selfish reasons.
* [[EvilFormerFriend A former friend of Charlie]] who loves being wicked and broke off with Charlie after she "went soft". She might still care for Charlie (in her own twisted way) and would plot to bring Charlie back into sin.
* An ex-boyfriend or girlfriend of Charlie who still longs for Charlie (or simply likes the privileges that come from dating the Princess of Hell) without any concern for Charlie as a person. Their resentment might drive her to attack Vaggie.
[[WMG: Angel Dust might be the hero Charlie needs]]
So far, Angel Dust has been more or less portrayed as a [[{{jerkass}} snide, crude, rude, and selfish twerp]]. For most of the series, he'll be [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/Futurama the Bender]] of the cast. However, he might end being the person who brings Charlie from the depths of despair or saving her life from a potential villain. [[HeroesFrontierStep In doing so, he'll prove once and for all that redemption is not only possible, but that he'll enter heaven himself]]. He might even have his own KirkSummation or WorldOfCardboardSpeech toward someone who wonders why he is doing this:
-->'''Angel Dust''': You know why I am doing this? Charlie was there for me. In my miserable life, she was the only person who ever had faith in me. I'll die before I'll let that girl down.
[[WMG: Alastor will be revealed as a [[MagnificentBastard supremely cunning and charismatic schemer]]]]
It seems like a natural road to take the character.
[[WMG: The yearly extermination will be a recurring plot point. And it could be a serious one in the future]]
The yearly extermination of Hell's population is what is driving Charlie's goal. Perhaps whenever Charlie is about to quit, the clock that countdowns to the next extermination could bring her back to doing what she needs to do.
What if the plan of a future antagonist hinges upon the yearly extermination. Perhaps their end goal might be to use the extermination to take over HELL itself? Alastor could use the Hotel and the coming extermination in whatever goal he has in mind.
----
Charlie's mother tried to do the same thing [[NiceJobBreakingItHero but ended up causing Hell's population to grow, leading to the yearly purges]].
[[WMG: The Radio Demon (Alastor) is the BigBad]]
It's logically possible. I mean, the [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]], [[SlasherSmile the wide grin]], it just makes sense!
* The official Hazbin twitter has released some [[https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel/status/992872171272732672 character]] [[https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel/status/992879031182704640 bios]]. In his bio, Alastor the "Radio Demon" is described as a mysterious dealmaker and an all powerful tyrant with cryptic goals. While not confirming if he's the BigBad or not, it paints him more as someone to be suspicious of.
** Alastor's information was also released alongside Katie Killjoy and Sir Pentious, who are both already characterized as villains in the trailer.
This theory may actually be not too far off-base. On the unofficial Discord server, one user (Rook#9696) pointed out some interesting facts and tidbits about Alastor's appearances in the media for Hazbin Hotel thus far, and suggested a theory based on their observations.
* In the trailer, there are multiple times when symbols from Haitian/Louisiana Voodoo, called ''veves,'' appear around him. ''Veves'' are used to summon spirits in voodoo religion called loa, (or lwa). This is in line with Alastor being described as originating from the American South in his former life.
* One specific ''veve'' is for for Kalfu, a petro aspect of the loa Papa Legba. Papa Legba has a long list of qualities similar to Alastor in the show:
** Legba is considered the loa of the crossroads, and the master of "The Road to Success" (Alastor is the benefactor of the hotel & is backing Charlie's business venture, therefore allowing her to succeed), he is considered a trickster in nature (Alastor's nature in the trailer and in the storyboards show he is always smiling and seemingly upbeat), and he is considered a patron of musical talent (Alastor is the "Radio Demon", the radio being commonly associated with music).
** Legba is commonly depicted as a young, handsome man or a demon (YMMV on whether or not Alastor is handsome, but his fans will fight you on that) that carries a walking stick or a cane (Alastor carries his microphone stand with him regularly). The colors most commonly associated with him are red and black, which is Alastor's color palette.
** In of itself, the association with Legba isn't indicative of Alastor being the [[BigBad Big Bad]], but Kalfu is considered to be an "evil aspect" of Legba.
* Alastor's motives may hold more than meets the eye: [[spoiler:he may be trying to upset the spiritual balance in order to take over heaven. Using his powers to bolster Charlie's success means that he has to do very little work in running the hotel, and he would also be out of the spotlight. Charlie has to deal with the day to day minutiae, as well as the backlash, while Alastor does very little work, which is in line with a trickster personality in folklore.]]
** [[spoiler:If Charlie's hotel is a success, it would catch heaven off guard since theoretically no soul has ever been rehabilitated out of Hell before. Also consider how this would upset the spiritual economy; if redemption is possible, and your soul is eternal in Hell, why waste a short life span on being "moral" when you can repent for it later & get into heaven?]]
*** Probably so that you don't have to spend an extended stretch of time in ''literal freaking Hell''.
** [[spoiler:With heaven's position being weakened spiritually from an influx of unexpected souls and a downtick in morality, we could see Alastor trying to use the confusion to his advantage to take over.]]
* This theory is strengthened by the fact that, in terms of character interaction, [[spoiler:we never see Alastor interact with Angel Dust or Sir Pentious in their "turf wars".]] Alastor is described in his character bio released by Vivziepop as "an all powerful tyrant" and thus could theoretically [[spoiler:wipe the floor with Angel and Pentious]] but he hasn't. So what if [[spoiler:he isn't bothering with acquiring any acclamation in Hell because he has his eyes on a better, more alluring target?]]
[[WMG: The causes of deaths and reasons in Hell after for the characters.]]
* Angel Dust.
** Drug overdose or killed by brother. He was born and raised as a gangster and still seems to be an addict in hell, so he was either at the unlucky end of a scuffle or died due to narcotics or otherwise.
*** OD confirmed by "Addict".
->''I might have overdosed''\\
''and ended up comatose.''
* Vaggie.
** Car accident. She was a ruthless, controlling hit girl and was whammied by a mole or something she was in relations with.
** The wiki says she was a prostitute and has knives for protection, maybe one of her clients tried to kill her and gouged out her eye in the process.
** Suicide by hanging. If one looks at Viv's old art of her, there are nooses hanging from the trees around her.
** Was in an abusive relationship, and her abuser ended up killing her.
** She might be in hell for answering too many of her problems with violence (not so much an issue in Hell where ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer), or her implied misandry.
* Crymini.
** Dog attack. She was a chaotic, wrathful anarchist and participated in illegal activities like dog fights.
** Given that she's a hellhound (which are native to hell), she likely never died in the first place.
* Cherri.
** Killed in a turf war. She was a chaotic and bloodthirsty gang leader in a turf war with another gang leader, and ended up killed.
** She made a mistake and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard got blown up by one of her own explosives]].
* Katie Killjoy.
** Prop, had fallen on her, or murdered by a mistreated intern or something after she blamed them for the failing show. She was a ruthless, newscaster who mistreated her employees and would do ANYTHING for a story, no matter if it was true, or ruined someone’s life in the process.
** Another guess on this page is that she might have been hit by a bus while trying to pester some public figure or other over rumors that they were gay.
** AIDS, which she contracted from sleeping with a bisexual man. This might be part of why she's so homophobic.
** Suicide by hanging. Her neck is unusually long, and it snaps and cracks whenever she moves it.
* Mimzy.
** Was tortured and killed by competitor song bars, because she stole the spotlight. She was a prideful and over ambitious singer, who did shady things to be the top singer.
* Niffty.
** Suicide. She was a 50’s girl, working to be a fashion designer. To cope with abusive parents and struggle to achieve her dreams, she took up sewing. One day she met this cute, handsome guy. She was so smitten. They started dating but he too was a jerk and dumped her for this “hotter” chick. Heartbroken and enraged, she took her anger out on animals. To hide it, she used the leftovers, the fur and skin for her fashion. People liked her new threads, unknowing to where she got her fabric. Realizing this, she continued to kill. Through time not only did she become popular and the boy who dumped her began to show interest, she became insane. As this grew, people too grew, out of her fashion. Desperate to keep her newfound popularity, she looked for new skins. She begun to see how soft, human skin can be, and so from animals, she began to kill humans, to use for her outfits. She decided to kill her parents out of revenge, and used them for her clothes too. After awhile she and the boyfriend got back together, she decided to reveal the truth to him. He did not take it well, and in a grit of panic, she killed him too right on the spot. She cried, realizing what she had done. Soon after that, cops were chasing after her, after they connected the dots to her somehow. In complete despair and guilt, she decided to kill herself, by forcing the cops to shoot her. Three bullets shot her leg eye, explaining the patterns on her demon dress, and her one eye showing and that is the twisted and tragic story of Nifty.
** Somebody shot her.
** Niffty was presumably some form of {{Yandere}}.
** Murdered by the wife/girlfriend of a man she was sleeping with.
* Husk
** Something related to alcohol, possibly a drunken accident or a disease contracted from alcoholism.
** Suicide by jumping from a great height.
* Tom Trench
** Judging by the gasmask and the name, he could have been a soldier who died in World War 1. From what little we've seen of him, it can be implied that he was perverted and overall unpleasant, and he was either killed in battle or in secret by a fellow soldier.
*** Another guess is that he was specifically killed by a chemical weapon attack that he ordered, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which was blown back to his side when the wind changed]].
* Baxter
** Accidental poisoning. According to the wiki he was a chemist and had a split personality, possibly from drinking one of his own concoctions, he could have tried to cure himself only for the other personality to take him with it.
* Sir Pentious:
** Killed by one of his own malfunctioning inventions.
* Vox
** An on-set accident.
* Valentino
** [[EvenEvilHasStandards Murdered in prison for depraved sex crimes]].
* Velvet
** Died in a car accident caused by her own distracted driving.
** Died in an asylum (depending on the era she lived in).
* Alastor
** Electric chair. For one, it fits into his status of a radio host, being that power lines and radio towers are electical devices used in the transmission of radio waves. Said power lines also resemble deer antlers in some models, trying into his AnimalMotif, and the fact that his assumed OneWingedAngel form has a massive pair of them. Seeing as how Alastor also died in the early 20th century it would make sense that had he been caught he would have gotten the death penalty and they would have used that method.
*** Alastor is stated to not be proud of his death and to dislike dogs as they had a part in it, so it stands to reason that the police used scent hounds to catch him, upon which he was sentenced to death.
** He was killed by police dogs while trying to flee the authorities.
** Shot by a hunter who mistook him for a deer.
** Bitten by a rabid dog. While today there are treatments for rabies, in 1933, the only thing that could be done was to [[MercyKill help them shuffle off the mortal coil]].
** Mauled by the dog of one of his would-be victims.
[[WMG: Angel Dust will have a [[HiddenDepths surprisingly]] heartwarming and/or tearjerkish reason for wanting to "go clean".]]
[[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Even jerks have loved ones]], and he won't be an exception. He could also just be secretly tired of the anarchy of the gangster life and wants to redeem himself from it.
[[WMG: If Angel Dust gets successfully redeemed, we'll get to see him as a [[HumanityEnsues human]] before he passes on to Heaven.]]
His spider form is a hell thing, isn't it?
[[WMG:If Adina is ever included in the Hazbin Canon, she would be the reason that there's overpopulation in Hell in the first place.]]
For those who don't know her, Adina is a powerful angel who seems so beautiful and pure but actually has the mindset of [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Disney's Frollo]] (but without the lust part), believing every creature, be human or demon, is a sinner and must be eliminated. The only creatures that are save from her philosophy are her fellow angels and of course herself.
Now, imagine if someone like her gets the chance of deciding who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.
You were someone who saved many lives out of goodness but were also an atheist? To hell!
You were a loving person who lost your way in life and at the last minute asked for forgiveness? Definitely not to heaven.
You were a good example to others and care for them but you also liked both men and women? Bye bye sinner.
She would simply not have mercy for anybody, and that's pretty ironic considering who is her Master.
It would be absolutely great if the final BigBad is not a creepy StepfordSmiler deer shapeshifter, not a demonic victorian snake, not even Satan himself, but a servant of God.
** It would explain why certain denizens of hell who appear to genuinely be good people regardless are there (such as Vaggie, who's only crime seems to be being a prostitute and attracted to women)
[[WMG: There will be a DarkestHour at some point.]]
Everyone has left Charlie, [[PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure including Vaggie]], Angel Dust has given up on his redemption, Alastor is doing... [[WildMassGuessing whatever it is that he's planning]], and all hope seems lost. Charlie, however, [[{{Determinator}} will push through it]], and it ''will'' be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for her.
[[WMG: Alastor will be a [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Dr. Facilier]] type character.]]
He'll be a suave but suspicious guy that'll give Charlie a bargain she just can't refuse, but hides his real, darker motives related to it. He's also surrounded by voodoo symbols in the trailer and has his own moving shadow.
[[WMG: Denizens of heaven will appear...]]
* and it turns out they don’t want demons to enter heaven, believing they’re all irredeemable.
* Or they could be the worst stereotypes of Heaven: [[CelestialBureaucracy a bureaucratic nightmare]], [[LawfulStupid lawful to an annoying and inconvenient (or even dangerous) degree]], full of the [[EgocentricallyReligious egocentric]] and HolierThanThou even if it's not just fundamentalist protestants or Catholics up there. It would be the gated community of nightmares-- all that don't fit in with the flock get kicked out. The stress of staying Moral and the ennui that surrounds the dead that live inside it make any sinner who tries to repent both laughed at and inspire jealousy and contempt, because the dull, empty lives they lived to get there will be invalidated. Nothing good awaits you inside...if anything waits for you at all. Which then reveals the ''true'' reason why there's been overpopulation-- [[HellOfAHeaven Heaven got so bad over the centuries, everybody started jumping ship]] [[ReroutedFromHeaven while barring the gates behind them to keep others from this fate]].
* Or they’re so [[TastesLikeDiabetes sickeningly sweet]] that they make Charlie, the kindest and overall most good character in the series, look bad. They fully support Charlie’s idea but demons then refuse to redeem themselves out of the reasoning that they might turn into one of them, and continue sinning to spite them.
* Or they're gone completely insane; the constant need to keep everything perfect when pure-of-heart souls start demanding ''basic'' quality-of-life-and-spirit necessities like the 'true' copy of the Bible, communion with mediums, communion with relatives in Hell, democracy, communism, cereal, washing machines, internet, romantic porn, smartphones, etc., all while accommodating people from different time periods and classes eventually drove the Angels mad. With the system in shambles, Heaven became a supersocial Hell of its own, driving the inhabitants just as insane.
[[WMG: [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous The more monstrous-looking the demon, the worse of a person they were in life]]]]
Charlie is the most human looking character we've seen so far despite her technically being the only character not human to begin with. Vaggie is probably the most human looking after her and shares Charlie's goal of rehabilitating demons so she probably wasn't as bad in her life time as some of the other residents.
* Does that mean Hitler would look like [[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]]?
* On the other hand, the HateSink Katie Killjoy is mostly humanoid, while her nicer co-anchor Tom Trench has a gas mask for a face.
[[WMG: Any redeemed demon won’t go to Heaven]]
* But rather, they go to Purgatory because their sins aren’t so easily atoned.
** Building on that, when/if the population ever finds out then the support for the Hotel will just ''vanish'': why try to redeem yourself if all you're going to is a bland existence?
*** Bizzare as it may seem, almost any plane of existence is better than living in Hell, even purgatory.
[[WMG: The series’ ending will have Charlie succeeding in fixing Hell’s overpopulation problem]]
* Only now Heaven has a overpopulation problem instead.
[[WMG: Heaven has the exact opposite problem: everyone stays too little.]]
It really is the good place it's said to be- a place to reunite with loved ones, live in paradise, etc. But somebody upstairs (either a corrupt angel or misguided filer) modified the place to function more like a temporary waystation: making it literally "a nice place to visit" before reincarnating them back to Earth or other worlds, factoring in the usual HellOfAHeaven arguments to account for why people wouldn't want to stay forever.
Hell, on the other hand, is "permanent housing", so to speak- it's built for people to stay, so subsequent reincarnations eventually get there (one life may be spent doing some excessive sinning, after all), causing the overpopulation problem.
[[WMG: Ideas on the types of characters we'll see in the series:]]
We've already seen a crime lord, a prostitute, and a serial killer, as well as a few drug addicts, so imagine the possibilities of other characters who have been sent to Hell for whatever reason. Maybe they'll be clients for the Happy Hotel.
* A [[CorruptCorporateExecutive capitalistic businessman who indulged in questionable practices to meet goals.]]
* A [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi/Neo-Nazi]].
** Bonus points if [[AdolfHitlarious Hitler]] makes an appearance or at least gets a mention. Since Jeffery Dahmer exists in the Hazbin Hotel universe, then it's possible other infamous historical people do too.
* A nasty AlphaBitch or BarbaricBully who [[TeensAreMonsters died while they were still in their teens.]]
** Charlie's apparent rival: Helsa, seems to be this.
* An [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain overwhelmingly racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/ableist bigot]].
** Well, Katie Killjoy's been shown to be a homophobe.
* A [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]] serial killer who's an {{expy}} of Franchise/HannibalLecter (and is not Jeffery Dahmer).
* An [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal abuser]], a [[EvilPoacher poacher]], someone [[CruellaToAnimals who delights in animals' suffering]], or someone [[BestialityIsDepraved who REALLY likes animals.]]
* A [[VillainousGlutton gluttonous]] FatBastard.
* A {{Domestic Abuse}}r.
** On that note an entire BigScrewedUpFamily, bonus points for them being nice normal people individually, but going to hell because they brought out the worst in each other and weren't able to live apart.
* An [[TheCaligula insane monarch or dictator]].
* A [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapist]].
* A [[PaedoHunt pedophile]].
* A KnightTemplar. Maybe they could even be TheFundamentalist.
* A self-righteous person in denial that they're in hell.
* A [[HollywoodSatanism Satanist]].
* A [[ReligionOfEvil violent cult of religious extremists.]]
* A CreepyChild or EnfanteTerrible - kids can be evil too.
* A MadScientist.
** Confirmed with Baxter.
** And probably Sir Pentious.
* A [[ConsummateLiar pathological liar.]]
* An [[PyroManiac arsonist or pyromaniac.]]
* An AntiVillain.
* A(nother) FallenAngel.
* A [[EvilOverlord cruel ruler]].
* A political extremist of some kind.
* A scam artist who opens a competing (fake) redemption service.
* A {{Yandere}}.
* And last but not least, a [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking schoolyard bully]], who could even be the SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp.
[[WMG: Charlie will experience a RageBreakingPoint]]
It has been shown in the clips and trailers that her face can shift from a normal looking one to a demonic one with glowing red eyes. So I think eventually she might snap, perhaps due to things such as getting fed up with being disrespected and at the demons for not putting in the proper effort towards redemption and generally just no one taking the whole redemption business seriously. This could all cause her to snap and have her shift into a more demonic form such as a BigRedDevil.
[[WMG: Charlie has a darker side]]
Charlie is of course an AllLovingHero who wants to help the people of her home. But I think she may have a darker side, one that she perhaps suppresses. During “Inside of every demon is a rainbow” she at multiple points shifts her face into a NightmareFace, one thing to note is at these points she is always smiling. While she does of course smile a lot, I feel these smiles seem more akin to a SlasherSmile than her normal ones.
One notable example of this is how her eyes glow red and she dons a SlasherSmile when mentioning both fire and screams. So I think she has a darker/eviler side hidden somewhere. She is the Princess of Hell at the end of the day and according to the wiki her father is apparently Satan.
So perhaps like I said she tries to suppress her darker tendencies but struggles to at times. Perhaps she will eventually snap (which ties into the above theory about her having a RageBreakingPoint, which I also made.)
* this would also explain her focus on redemption, its not just that she wants to help others, she needs help herself,it would also explain why, if becoming a good person lets you escape hell and get into heaven, why is she still here?
** Because then she wouldn't be able to help sinners get to heaven with her Hotel.
[[WMG: Charlie and Sir Pentious are really NotSoDifferent]]
Charlie wants to redeem demons so they can go to Heaven. The creatures of Hell all laughed and called her a loonie. It doesn't help that the (apparently) only news station is going to make fun of her from now on.
Sir Pentious tried to conquer Hell, yet has failed several times.
At this point, It wouldn't be a surprise if some if not ALL of the denizens of Hell think of him as the local loser of the realm. And the more the demons see the cobra as a joke, the more he tries to be "hip".
Also Charlie is friends with the less evil demons (Vaggie, Mimzy, Nifty, etc) and Sir Pentious has the company of the Egg Bois, who look (and maybe are) harmless and seem to really love their boss.
Maybe in a future episode, Charlie would try to convince Sir Pentious to stop trying to conquer Hell and start helping them in the Happy Hotel so he can ascend to Heaven. And of course the snake demon is going to reject the offer because of his arrogance/pride or because such a thing of a demon in Heaven is impossible to him to understand.
[[WMG: Sir Pentious will get a VillainSong]]
I mean, he's the perfect type of villain for one.
* Plus, he's voiced by Stamper, who is know for singing songs (albeit silly ones) in video games.
[[WMG: Charlie wants to redeem souls the good way because she saw that happen before]]
According to some theories, in his final moments, Jesus essentially forsakes God, making him an atheist. Combined with him now atoning for all sin, Jesus is sent to Hell where he proceeds to save the souls of the damned and put Satan in his place.
Charlie, at a young age, saw this "strange" and pure soul taking the majority of her father's subjets to Heaven using kindness and love for the neighbor. And so the young princess followed the example of this man by creating "The Happy Hotel" so the souls of her people could be saved through redemption.
This, in retrospective, would be a double win for Jesus, since not only did he snatch the devil his people, but even '' his own daugther''.
* The "Jesus rejecting God" idea is actually [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer a common uninformed misreading of scripture]]. The line in Question is Jesus saying "Oh God, Oh, God, why have you forsaken me?," [[GetTheeToANunnery but he's actually trying to lead everyone watching in a worship song, as those are the opening lines of Psalm 22]], The Book of Psalms itself being a collection of old Jewish Worship songs. That said, most Christian Clergy do believe that Jesus spend the three days between the resurrection and the Crucifixion in Hell.
[[WMG: There will be a reference to ''Franchise/{{Doom}}''.]]
Since Viziepop hearted a comment by Saberspark that involved Doom and there are a ton of jokes and game lore about Doomguy being a brutal demon killer feared by all of Hell, I have a strong feeling that there's going to be an allusion to Doom in the show somewhere. There are multiple ways on how it can be done.
Ideas:
* A demon watching a horror movie where Doomguy is the monster.
* One of the demons will bear a heavy resemblance to a Doom enemy.
* There will be a news report on 666 News that involves the aftermath of a brutal bloodbath single-handedly perpetrated by an unidentified and mysterious being, either as the given topic of the actual interview or as a FreezeFrameBonus in one of the news crawls. Granted, the reference at hand would need to be subtle enough to not get the show attacked for copyright infringement, but just WHO the report would be referencing would go without saying.
[[WMG: Alastor is not the BigBad, but he is out for revenge...]]
Alastor's name does mean "avenger" and his cryptic goals might be revenge-based. How to take revenge that lasts on someone already in hell? You can kill them, sure, but then it's over. So...send them to Heaven, where they'll hate it, with the risk of coming back and being the first loser to fail redemption and possibly be an easy target or him.
[[WMG: Because of her help reforming demons, Vaggie will eventually get taken to Heaven]]
Being on board this reform program has got to score her some good points, maybe even unintentionally so. Potentially it would lead to a heartfelt moment of her and Charlie having to say goodbye only for her to be back an hour later after intentionally getting herself thrown out.
* [[PutOnABus Or possibly not]]; removing Vaggie in this sense could [[SpannerInTheWorks instead be treated as an unforeseen side-effect of Charlie's plan]], or [[TheNeedsOfTheMany for the greater good]], if not both.
[[WMG: Charlie's performance is a big reason of why Alastor wants to help]]
While he most likely has some ulterior motive, Alastor also seems like the type of person who loves good showmanship, and Charlie's big musical number got his full attention for better or for worse.
[[WMG: Alastor is going to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness frown]] at some point.]]
And it'll either be if/when his darker motives are shut down, or before [[OhCrap all hell breaks loose]].
[[WMG: God, Jesus, and/or Heaven will appear at some point]]
Over the course of the show, one or more slightly suspicious characters will appear in the shadows, sometimes providing aid or seeming to "check in" on them. One of them in particular seems very interested and supportive of Charlie's ambition for the Hotel. But given the fact that, well, they're in Hell, Charlie and her friends (especially Vaggie) are suspicious of help so freely given.
The big reveal for this group is that it is in fact Jesus and some Angels. Some of the group possibly think that he's been trying to sabotage their efforts. But it will be revealed that he/they really do want Charlie and her friends to succeed and have provided subtle aid behind the scenes over the course of the show. The major problem with most denizens of Hell is that none of them want to change. If we're going by the Christian idea of God and Jesus here, then he probably really wants to help them with their problems, but they need to take the first step (as a big part of most Christian Philosophy is that sinners need God's grace).
The key thing to this WMG is that there is no ulterior evil motive, nor is Heaven some sort of Crapsaccharine World. They truly do wish to help and gladly accept anyone who is able to move on. This is possibly what helps Charlie during her darkest hour.
* [[RuleOfFunny Also,]] Charlie will probably give Jesus an AffectionateNickname, like "Uncle J-Sauce."
[[WMG: Several scenarios for CerebusSyndrome]]
The show, so far, seems bleakly hilarious, and will feature Charlie trying (and failing) to redeem demons. But eventually, it could drift into even darker, less hilarious territory. Here are some possibilities:
1. Charlie undergoing a FaceHeelTurn after numerous failures.
Charlie so far seems like an optimistic, upbeat person. However, a lot of people seem to mock her, taking it for granted that she ''is'' still the Princess of Hell, and could end taking advantage of her faith. Going on one above suggestion, after one very severe humiliation, Charlie could go ThenLetMeBeEvil, and unleash a reign of terror the likes of which hell has never seen.
2. We end up learning about the [[DarkAndTroubledPast horrible histories]] of some of Hell's denizens...and its not going to be pretty.
Its established that many of the people in Hell are there because they reject the idea of being a good person. But why do they so reject salvation? Because above ground, their lives were plain awful. [[FreudianExcuse Some might have tragic backstories and traumas that they still struggle with]], [[IDidWhatIHadToDo some might have had to do horrible things in life to survive]], etc.
It is likely Charlie, while well-meaning, is a cushy, papered royal, and [[InnocentlyInsensitive her efforts might be dismissive of this]]. Charlie will learn that helping a person is a long process with no clear end. You ought to do it, but you can't expect everything will be resolved for the sake of it.
* Alternatively, she'll try to redeem someone who's [[CompleteMonster so]] [[BeyondRedemption horrible]] she ''[[MoralEventHorizon just]] [[TheFarmerAndTheViper can't]].''
3. Hell being revealed to be a DecadentCourt...with Charlie's efforts being a victim of their sabotage.
So far, Charlie, as a Princess of Hell, is a nice, well-meaning person. But the rest of Hell's leadership might not be so nice. It is possible that Charlie has serious competition on the throne-[[RoyallyScrewedUp an evil sibling, a corrupt uncle]]- who might do everything in their power to discredit Charlie. Perhaps they sabotage Charlie's efforts so badly, she ends up losing not the Hotel, but her reputation.
4. Alastor
Alastor could prove to be, underneath his jovial exterior, an insanely cruel, corrupt individual, and his plans will prove equally vile.
4a. Building on the above, if Charlie shows signs of successfully reforming demons, Alastor might sabotage her efforts. He didn't think Charlie could actually do it, and doesn't think very highly of happy endings.
5. Charlie might herself [[HeWhoFightsMonsters cross a serious line]] in her desire to redeem sinners.
Charlie, after some failures, might try something desperate to redeem people. Perhaps she makes threats, perhaps she tries BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood, perhaps she tries bribes (which she labels "positive reinforcement"). But in the end, she ends up becoming no better then the worst of hell has to offer. Her reputation falls, apart, her close friends want nothing to do with her, and even some of the less-then-admirable demons [[JerkassHasAPoint might call out]] Charlie for her behavior.
-->'''Charlie''' (sadly): [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone I just wanted people to be good...]]\\
-'''Angel Dust''' (seething with rage) Good? ''Good?!'' [[WhatTheHellHero If this is "good", I'd rather be a shithead for the rest of my life]].
[[WMG: Charlie went through a HeelFaceTurn sometime before the series]]
Just an idea I had. Perhaps Charlie used to be evil and cruel and generally just what you'd expect the Princess of Hell to be like. I got this idea for the fact that in some of the family portraits she seemed to be having a fun time with her family while in other ways less so, so perhaps at some point she sure the error of her ways. It could also explain the lack of respect she gets, perhaps the people of Hell feel she's gone soft and as such don't respect her anymore. Her tendency to make her eyes glow red could also just be a trait she has left over from back then as well.
Quick edit: It could also possibly have to do with when she stopped wearing dresses and also starting going by Charlie instead of her full first name.
[[[WMG: Angel Dust will end up in Heaven... at the worst possible time. ]]
Either he gets there only for Sir Pentious or Alastor to enact an evil plan agains his friends with him out of the way or it turns out Heaven is full of [[KnightTemplar self-righteous assholes]] who intend to destroy Hell and he's stuck behind enemy lines unable to help defend it. He may even end up an UnwittingPawn in their plan. They provoke him into acting out to "prove" Charlies Hotel is a front sending an invasion force to Heaven and use it an excuse to commit genocide on the entire population of hell.
[[WMG: The series finale will end with everyone leaving Hell...]]
...except for Sir Pentious, who will be happy to have finally taken it over, [[WantingIsBetterThanHaving only to realize he enjoyed fighting to be the ruler of hell]]... [[IgnoredEpiphany then he realizes he can use his new powerbase to invade Heaven.]]
[[WMG: Alastor will be give a second chance and redeem.]]
The whole show’s about redeeming yourself, and a lot of the art, suggests Alastor to be still quite close with the misfits. After the big finale, and he finally shows weakness, Charlie will forgive him and give him a second chance.
[[WMG: There will be canonically transgender characters]]
Charlie is bi, Vaggie is a lesbian, Angel Dust is gay and Alastor is asexual, so it's not like there aren't any canon LGBTQ+ characters; the best guesses at this point are Baxter (because he's an anglerfish, every large specimen found has been female) and Sir Pentious (who clearly isn't cut out to be a parent, in that case).
[[WMG: Molly is dead (again)]]
the death of his only blood relative to actually care about him may be what motivated Angel to try redeeming himself, and we don't know at this point if she'll show up in the series alive
[[WMG: In life, in addition to being a Radio Host, Alastor was an EgomaniacHunter...[[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame of people]].]]
We know that in life, he was a SerialKiller. Now that he's in Hell, he has a [[AnimalMotif deer motif]]. Perhaps in life, he enjoyed hunting other humans [[KarmicTransformation as if they were deer]].
[[WMG: Katie Killjoy could become one of the series' main antagonists]]
Katie Killjoy is, well, a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin killjoy]], especially toward poor Charlie and her noble goals, and in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfYbf5fADyY this clip]], makes it clear how little she thinks of it. Now, this could be seen as disdain for what Killjoy sees a rather childish goal and a desire to push her own ideas. But what if Killjoy has more sinister motives? What if she opposes the hotel because the redemption of sinners would hurt her bottom line? I can see her using her reputation to not only badmouth Charlie, but outright sabotage her efforts in an attempt to keep her own position in check, going from vain and selfish to downright evil.
-->'''Charlie''' ''(distraught)'': Why are you doing this?\\
'''Katie''': [[PrivilegeMakesYouEvil Ratings, darling]]. Death and violence are what make the bank, not your ''silly, gooey talk of love!'' Whenever some asshole gets blown up, I get more money in my pocket. I want things to... stay that way.
[[WMG: Charlie will only be successful once she learns to [[GrewASpine grow a spine]]]]
Charlie herself seems to be a bit of a pushover, considering the amount of disrespect she endures from everyone else. Perhaps, when she runs the hotel, she'll end up letting others take advantage of her. Only when she gets tough will she start to succeed.
[[WMG: Lucifer allows his daughter to do the hotel just as a joke]]
Lucifer possibly allowed his daughter to make the hotel so that he could either; A) teach her the harsh reality that not everyone can be redeemed. B) humor her so that she would stop bugging him about it, believing she will have no success. or C) he is allowing her to do this as a practical joke, it could be possible that Lucifer may have planted the idea of a rehabilitation hotel in his daughters head so that he could see her fail (it would certainly fit his persona as the great deceiver and father of lies) and the reason no one respects Charlie is because everyone gets the joke except her.
* Building on the idea of him doing it just to let her fail ForTheEvulz, Charlie as a whole is one giant joke to him. With the interpretation of Lucifer in this verse being unrepentantly evil, he had Charlie specifically so that he could pervert and destroy their father-daughter relationship (perhaps in a dark way of sticking it to God his father for throwing him out of Heaven). Lucifer probably manipulates Charlie into thinking that he's a loving father, or at least that there's a hope that he'll love her, but he's secretly laughing behind her back about how stupid she is to think this. Under this interpretation, he'll be nonplussed and probably enraged if Charlie's Hotel actually manages to succeed.
[[WMG: When a demon dies in Hell, they get sent to Avichi.]]
* ... Explanation on what Avichi is, please?
[[WMG: Cordie from WebAnimation/{{Cliffside}} will make a cameo as one of Angel Dust's ancestors.]]
[[WMG: The ghost of Creator/JohnMilton will make an appearance]]
Because, why not?
[[WMG: Charlie will be a WellDoneDaughterGirl]]
Based on how her mother is looking at her in one and two of the family photos, it's safe to say that Lilith [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent may not be a huge fan of Charlie's more siller side]].
** Definitely looking likely with Charlie's phone call to her.
[[WMG: Charlie's more dangerous than she looks/acts, and the other Demons seem to know it]]
Well, this one's largely based on drawing parallels between her and Alastor. Namely they're the only two characters so far to have a specific GameFace, and a more normal appearance otherwise. That, and [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1094341412659781632 apparently the Royal family is usually something to be feared]] but Charlie's such a innocent pushover that they don't see her as very threatening. That is, except even in the middle of her honest-to-goodness ''Disney Princess Musical Number'', Charlie going all horned and spiky-mouthed is enough to spook them. That, and as the daughter of the fallen angel Lucifer, she ''might'' still be angel enough to count for the killing permanently thing.
[[WMG: The one little problem with Charlie's plan]]
As soon as she redeems one sinner and gets Heaven to notice what's going on, they're probably going to pull her into Heaven too. [[AllLovingHero And it's not like they're wrong to do it]]. Which leads Charlie to try and "sin" her way back out....[[PokeThePoodle very poorly]].
[[WMG: Characters from Zoophobia will show up]]
Most likely the denizens of Hell from that series. It'll likely only be a cameo role, but it would be an interesting way of connecting the two series. Perhaps at one point, Damian Beelzly will show up to offer some support for Charlie via putting on a performance with his Banjo, who mentions that he's a "cousin" of sorts.
[[WMG: Charlie will demonstrate she is not someone to be taken lightly, in a very serious situation]].
So far, almost everyone in hell sees Charlie as a pushover, for being a nice princess in a not-particularly nice world. But when someone [[BerserkButton pushes her buttons-hurting her friends, destroying her hotel...]] well, they will greatly regret it.
--> '''Charlie''': I've always been a good girl [[BewareTheNiceOnes (her face twists into a wicked smile)]]...[[LetsGetDangerous but you want evil. I'll show it to you!]]
[[WMG: Alastor will turn out to be a good guy]]
Or at the very least, a WellIntentionedExtremist. From what little we know about the series at the moment, Hell seems full up of not just Humans, but Demons and potentially other creatures.
For this WMG: Demons hold the most power overall and make things . . . well . . . hell for the human souls living there. Alastor is noted as being (according to Vaggie) a mortal prior to his arrival in Hell. Upon seeing the horrible conditions faced by most mortals, despite potentially not being a very good person himself, he decided to try and do something about it. He needed to amass power which is how he started off on his path to becoming the Radio Demon, a mysterious warlord who keeps to himself.
For this theory, Alastor is not particularly nice, arguably not very good even, but he is working towards the ultimate good for the downtrodden of Hell. And when he sees Charlie's pitch for a Hotel that'll allow souls an escape from Hell, he jumps on the chance right away.
He'll have to hide that he's a "good" guy for most of the time, but potentially he'll let his guard down once he gets to personally know Charlie and perhaps the others and will finally tell his story to them and separates the facts from the lies he let circulate to increase his rep.
[[WMG: Alastor is an angel in disguise]]
Sent to hell relatively recently for a specific purpose, as opposed to being a fallen angel
* In the first trailer, one of the angels sent to hell has an OminousVisualGlitch over its face, and in the intro to the pilot, they bear a disconcerting grin similar to Alastor's. Moreover, Vaggie explicitly notes that Alastor's power is very unusual (indeed, unprecedented for a mortal) and that there's a lot of speculation about its source, which suggests it is going to be important.
[[WMG: Alastor plans to [[HellHasNewManagement take over Hell itself]] through Charlie]]
Alastor was a mortal, newcomer demon who managed to climb the political ladder and overthrow ancient demon lords, gaining power and a sinister reputation along the way. Who says his lust for power and glory has not been sated? Perhaps he is seeking to rise to the top of the Hell hegemony. And what better way to do that, then to exploit naïve Daughter of Lies herself. Charlie may not have much respect, but she probably has the ability and the connections needed for such a plan to go forward.
[[WMG: Angel is going to learn about Alastor's power the hard way]]
So far, Angel has shown little understanding of Alastor, despite being in hell for years. It is possible he might be incredibly condescending of Alastor...until Angel pushes his luck, and Alastor takes the time to remind he not someone to be taken lightly.
[[WMG: Alastor and Satan are working together]]
Vivziepop has confirmed that the royal family of Hell is only respected and only holds actual sway purely through fear, with a lot of it coming from [[{{Satan}} association]]. The Devil, being the Devil, probably wants to change that, so when Alastor died, he knowingly bestowed dark powers to him in return for his loyalty, which he agreed to. Alastor would then secretly serve as Satan's top enforcer and assassin, allowing him to perform the feats that made him so feared in "A Cautionary Tale", such as dispatching powerful gangs and hellish warlords that would pose a threat to Lucifer's hold on Hell's throne(let's face it, the only reason why Sir Pentious isn't dead yet is because he's too incompetent to come close to being worthy of Satan's concern). This brings me to Alastor's motives for the Hotel; Charlie's father sent him to pose as a supporter for her Hotel in hopes that Alastor would secretly sabotage her efforts while keeping his own hands clean(well, as clean as the Devil can get, anyway). Given the fact that Satan has always been [[TheCorrupter deceitful]], [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], and [[TheChessmaster cunning]], as well as someone with a [[AGodAmI serious god-complex]] [[ItsAllAboutMe and ego]], I wouldn't put such a thing behind him, and it would certainly explain Alastor's hand in things as well.
[[WMG: There will be an episode that shows Charlie as her worst possible self.]]
It [[TheSociopath will]] ''[[ManipulativeBastard not]]'' [[HeelFaceBrainwashing be pretty]]. Something will cause Charlie to fully break down and decide that if no one in Hell wants to reform, she'll make them reform. To her friends horror, she becomes a terrifyingly competent borderline [[CompleteMonster Complete Monster]], only held back by her weakened desire to actually help people and her barely intact love for her friends. [[TheChessmaster She manipulates enemies of the hotel into working for her]], [[XanatosSpeedChess runs several gambits at once that force Hell's inhabitants into the Hotel]], and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking changes her ]][[EvilCostumeSwitch suit into a dress]].
[[WMG: Alternatively, Charlie going rogue might ''save'' the hotel]]
Charlie, as we've discussed, has the potential of snapping really badly. It is possible that her snapping might be the ''scariest'' thing Hell witnesses. As they say "demons run when a good guy goes on the warpath." But it can also be saddening, watching a decent person lose their equanimity. Seeing this might make the less-then-noble demons who Charlie has tried (and failed) to help to [[HeelRealization realize how loathsome they really are, that they've crushed the heart of some girl who may be naïve, but just wants what is right]]. They may alternatively try and run the hotel out of repentence, or even use Charlie's lessons to talk her down.
[[WMG: Redeeming sinners might actually be part of Alastor's plan]]
At first, Charlie might heed Vaggie's advice and give the Radio Demon a cold shoulder. But, once her efforts go nowhere, Charlie will finally let the Radio Demon in. To everyone's surprise, Alastor actually will be very good at redeeming people. But this might end up furthering Alastor's ambitions. Perhaps by redeeming certain demons, he is clearing competition for himself. Perhaps as a ManipulativeBastard, he can use the hotel to get demons to do his bidding.
[[WMG: What happens if Charlie's hotel starts to...work?]]
So far, Charlie is seen as utterly ineffectual by all of demons of hell. And for the first few episodes, she won't [[FailureHero exactly prove them wrong]]. But what if by some concerted action, [[ThrowTheDogABone Charlie actually gets someone INTO heaven]]? What if she actually redeems a soul? It isn't too much of a stretch to think there isn't someone in Hell who wants to regain his[=/=]her soul. How will hell react to one soul successfully regaining [his=/=her] and rising into heaven, halo, wings and all?
Well...[[WhamEpisode shit could]] [[CerebusSyndrome start going down]] [[FromBadToWorse after that]].
I mean, if one soul gets into heaven, perhaps other souls can also be redeemed. Soon, more people start lining up at the Hotel, trying to get redeemed. Suddenly Charlie isn't a joke anymore, and starts getting a bit more respect.
But this could also attract Charlie some unwanted attention. Hell apparently has been overcrowded for a while, and which Charlie is trying to fix. But what if Charlie's actions don't just help people, but challenge Hell's very power structure? There could be several groups determined to stop Charlie.
The demon lords, whose power depends on a permanent harvest of wicked souls. If Charlie were to redeem even a few of them, they might attack the Hotel, seeing it as a threat to power. And, being Hell demons, they certainly won't have any qualms hurting some [[NiceGuy nice girl]]. What if Big Daddy Lucifer himself feels threatened by Charlie's actions?
[[WMG: Alastor doesn't really have a plan, he just wants to laugh]]
Alastor, despite apparently being a mortal soul, has the ability to topple demon overlords, and a nasty reputation to boot. So why he is bothering to assist Charlie? [[ItAmusedMe He just wants to amuse himself]].
[[WMG: Husk and Nifty are recruited for Charlie's hotel by Alastor]]
It's been implied that Husk and Nifty either actively work with Alastor or have associated with him in the past. When Alastor is shown among the greatest villains in all of hell, their silhouettes can be seen behind him, making this seem more likely. Not to mention in a ViceCity like hell, there would be no shortage of bars for Husk to have found work elsewhere.
** Confirmed in the pilot episode.
[[WMG: Charlie might end up praying to God help out of desperation]]
[[{{Irony}} The daughter of Lucifer praying to the Big G]]? When Charlie [[DespairEventHorizon hits a low point in her life]], [[PrayerIsALastResort she might say a prayer to Lord Almighty for help]]. There are several things that could happen.
1. She does get help from God instantly.
2. She is ignored outright.
3. She doesn't get help ''immediately''...
She says a prayer, but when no help arrives, she just walks away in frustration. However, subtle clues point her to the things she needs to do, strangers provide her the tools, and eventually Charlie gets what she needs.
* Also, instead of calling him by his title, Charlie will address God in her prayer as "Grandpa."
[[WMG: Alastor is NOT the Big Bad of the series]]
Think about it: over the years of cartoons, they don’t usually come out until the season finale. If Alastor was the big bad, why was he first seen in the first episode? They would have waited until the season finale.
2. Alastor may be one of the most powerful demons in Hell, but he’s not stupid. He wouldn’t just go and just kill Charlie and her friends just because he felt like it. Plus Charlie is a princess, Alastor don’t look like the type that would do something that reckless.
3. In a recent stream, Viv reveal that in order to be Alastor’s friend, he would need to find you funny and entertainment. It’s clear that he found Charlie funny and entertainment so he choose to help and be friend her.
4. If he really was the big bad of the series, wouldn’t he rule or at least try to rule Hell by now? He does have strong powers to “erase” demons but it clear that he’s not interested in getting land or anything. He just cares about entertainment.
[[WMG: Lucifer was the one who gave Alastor his immense power]]
According to “A Cautionary Tale” Vaggie said “that kind of raw power have never been harnessed by a mortal soul before.” It wouldn’t make sense for Alastor to automatically gain powers like that once he died. Only Lucifer has that power and it's most likely he gave the powers to Alastor to see if he could handle it and help him get rid of the overlords. So basically Lucifer just needed a bodyguard/enforcer and chose Alastor.
[[WMG: Alastor is secretly sent by Lucifer to keep an eye on Charlie]]
Lucifer and Lilith clearly have faith in their daughter but are worried about her well being. They decided to send one of their most powerful and intelligent demons to be their eyes and ears and tell them what’s going on so they can know their daughter is okay.
[[WMG: Charlie’s reason to help reform demons]]
Even though she was born in Hell, Charlie usually don’t mind the drugs, turf wars, porno, etc. It was like she most likely heard from her parents how some people was sent to Hell due to being abused and corrupted by society. Even the laws was changed over the years and it made Charlie feel bad for those people. It could be possible that she just want to help those who been in Hell longer than a decade for that reason.
[[WMG: Deep down, Katie is just [[GreenEyedMonster jealous of Charlie]]]]
Katie is just a news reporter and Charlie is the Princess of Hell. Katie most likely felt like her status was being threatened and wanted to prove to everybody she’s more popular and better than Charlie.
[[WMG: Lucifer and Lilith secretly hate the yearly extermination too]]
It could be possible they hate the extermination and losing their people as well. But felt like they had no other choice because they didn’t know what else to do and feel like the purges are the quickest way to fix overpopulation in Hell. Once Charlie told them her hotel idea, they agree with it not only because it’s peaceful, it would help give their daughter independence and look it as baby steps on ruling Hell someday.
[[WMG: Charlie will unintentionally get ''herself'' sent to Heaven]]
Her heart is good and pure, something that should be an impossibility in Hell. If she succeeds in redeeming a demon's soul and sending them to Heaven, the angels might learn about her from said redeemed soul. God would then pluck her from Hell to take her "rightful place" in paradise. This can open the door for any number of story beats. Does Charlie like Heaven? Would she want to stay or try to go back to Hell? What would her father do when he finds out his daughter's in the care of his mortal enemy?
[[WMG: Alastor's victims [[AssholeVictim had it coming]]]]
In life, Alastor was disgusted by the evils of humanity. So he sought to [[PayEvilUntoEvil purge the world of the worst]]: mobsters, violent supremacists, sex offenders, assassins, robbers, terrorists, [[SerialKillerKiller other serial killers]], and plenty more varieties of scumbag. Coming to Hell after sending lots of absolutely terrible people ahead of him, he wiped out some of its worst inhabitants, but found that more kept coming. That's why he's supporting Charlie's hotel plan: he wants to weed out the truly irredeemable so he can kill them. It's also possible that part of him genuinely wants to see people reformed, and views the hotel as an incentive for people to escape his wrath (and/or his wrath as an incentive for people to go to the hotel).
[[WMG: Charlie will have her own personal nemesis]]
While Charlie may be nice, she IS a prominent (if mocked) figure in Hell. What's to stop her from having someone in Hell [[ArchEnemy who hates her guts]], [[TheResenter envies her fame and position]], or just likes [[ForTheEvulz to hurt her for fun]]. Charlie might also [[NotSoAboveItAll resent this person dearly]], [[TurnTheOtherCheek take her insults in strides]] or [[UnknownRival initially be oblivious to this person's hatred]]. This person could come in many different forms:
* An AlphaBitch-type royal figure in Hell who is [[EvilCounterpart Charlie's opposite]]: [[CardCarryingVillain very, very evil and takes demented joy in hurting Charlie and her goals]].
** This one seems to be filled by Helsa.
* Someone who opens their own "Redemption Hotel", but unlike Charlie, does it for self-serving, selfish reasons.
* [[EvilFormerFriend A former friend of Charlie]] who loves being wicked and broke off with Charlie after she "went soft". She might still care for Charlie (in her own twisted way) and would plot to bring Charlie back into sin.
* An ex-boyfriend or girlfriend of Charlie who still longs for Charlie (or simply likes the privileges that come from dating the Princess of Hell) without any concern for Charlie as a person. Their resentment might drive her to attack Vaggie.
[[WMG: Angel Dust might be the hero Charlie needs]]
So far, Angel Dust has been more or less portrayed as a [[{{jerkass}} snide, crude, rude, and selfish twerp]]. For most of the series, he'll be [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/Futurama the Bender]] of the cast. However, he might end being the person who brings Charlie from the depths of despair or saving her life from a potential villain. [[HeroesFrontierStep In doing so, he'll prove once and for all that redemption is not only possible, but that he'll enter heaven himself]]. He might even have his own KirkSummation or WorldOfCardboardSpeech toward someone who wonders why he is doing this:
-->'''Angel Dust''': You know why I am doing this? Charlie was there for me. In my miserable life, she was the only person who ever had faith in me. I'll die before I'll let that girl down.
[[WMG: Alastor will be revealed as a [[MagnificentBastard supremely cunning and charismatic schemer]]]]
It seems like a natural road to take the character.
[[WMG: The yearly extermination will be a recurring plot point. And it could be a serious one in the future]]
The yearly extermination of Hell's population is what is driving Charlie's goal. Perhaps whenever Charlie is about to quit, the clock that countdowns to the next extermination could bring her back to doing what she needs to do.
What if the plan of a future antagonist hinges upon the yearly extermination. Perhaps their end goal might be to use the extermination to take over HELL itself? Alastor could use the Hotel and the coming extermination in whatever goal he has in mind.
