OK FINALLY DONE
All 22 major tarot cards as characters for HyprKty
Feel free to ask question I beg of you (repost because I goofed on one of the names)
Part 1: why swear is cool
Swearing can be used for a lot of reasons, to let off steam, to grab attention, yada yada. However in media you gotta be very carefully about how you right. You are wanting someone to come watch your show, so of course you don’t wanna waste their time
That’s where curses come in. When done in moderation, they can be a great tool for writing! Although it can vary, the big three reasons are mainly cursing for emphasis, surprise, or to rebel
So you wanna write your script as tight as possible! You wanna get as much bang for your buck as you can get, without having to resort to a bunch of random stuff for no reason. Cuz then you would waste your viewer’s times and then your value would plummet
Emphasis is simple, if you TRULY need to get something across and show that this information is NEEDED to be heard, you can curse to grab everyone’s attention
Such as a classic: “Everyone shut the fuck up”
And the one I suspect Hazbin of doing: Rebellion. It’s what you think, a show or piece of media will say curse words a lot so that they can say “hey we ain’t like the others we are hip and raddddd”
Which, while in rare cases can be pretty funny, in general is just desperate
Surprise is also more or less simple. If you have a scene or show that barely ever curses suddenly curse, it can catch you off guard and be used to create abit of humor, or to show that the mood off the scene has changed a good bit
None of these ideas work (except maybe for rebellion) if you use swears too much. Too much swearing, no one pays attention when you swear. Too much swearing, and it’s not surprising when you do. Swearing is a craft that can be done well, but also can be horribly butchered
Which leads me to
Part 2: why is hazbin unfunny when it say fuck :(((
I could say that the overuse of swearing in the trailer is bad, but I’m gonna put more effort into my writing than some of these writers did (not all of em) and actually analyze each swear in the trailer
The trailer presents 6 curse words with a run time of 2:07. This averages out to about 21 curses a second. That’s… abit much but it’s not terrible. Maybe the curse words are used in some creative ways as mentioned before?
We can only hope
1st swear: “I’m sorry, what the fuck was that?”
Ok so as a reaction to a trailer type thing we can assume this is being used for emphasis with a hint of surprise maybe? It’s hard to say if it’s really surprising since they definitely establish their dark themes early but give-
2nd swear: “You’re gonna help sinners? Fuckin’ hilarious”
Ok im not going to lie this one is more useless now. We’ve established the cursing as a thing that can happen, and the character does not even necessarily need to say that. It’s fuckin hilarious? Then have them laugh-
GUYS I PUT NON SCIENTIFIC FOR A REASON THIS ISNT A GOOD RESOURCE FOR STUFF I JUST WANTED TO SAY MY OPINIONS AFTER READING AN ARTICLE AND WATCHING THE TRAILER DONT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY PLEASE
4th swear: “Holy shit, whyyy
Ok now I’ll give credit to this one, before the main character, established as sweet, is exclaiming this as they are watching someone get mauled or something. It’s not perfect, but we’re showing that this character is exclaiming ONLY when something-
Them a chance, it still can work. As for emphasis I mean… the trailer wasn’t horrible. The character’s reaction was more annoyed than furious, so jumping the gun to the f word is abit harsh but still it could work for a first curse. Maybe change it to like, what the hell or-
3rd swear: “Are you fuckin high?”
Ok ditto the same issue with the last 2, the tone just feels off for establishing such a harsh fuck, but at this point I should mention something important missing: context. In the show the other person might have said something REALLY stupid-
AMENDMENT: THESE PAST TWO HAVE BEEN OUT OF ORDER, THIS ONE IS THE 2ND CURSE IN ORDER MY APOLOGIES
5th curse: “go fuck yourself”
Now I’ll give this one a pass because it honestly works pretty well! Sure it’s the most bias call and response joke of “hi I’m friendly”, “hi I’m-
6th curse: “They’re gonna fucking die.”
And back to the slop. Again, you’ve established cursing your not surprising anyone, and do you REALLY ALWAYS NEED TO SAY FUCK.
Look I’m not saying cursing for emphasis so much so even that terrible, it’s hell there a lot going on, but-
Not friendly,” but as mentioned it’s a pretty solid joke even if it HAS been done a lot of times. It could be better, but to give hazbin credit this is honestly a pretty good fuck. in fact this would have made a pretty solid first curse to introduce, but sadly it was taken by-
Still you’re saying it so much that’s it losing its impact. Please even just switch just to a different curse word you don’t always need to keep hitting fuck after fuck for fucks sake fuck fuck fuck.
And that is about all the curses I can find in the trailer, again this is-
Lose their meaning.
WITH ALL OF THIS SAID, I don’t wanna end this thread with hate so I will say this: the music honestly sounds pretty cool, and the designs can be fun at times. The concept is cool, and the scope is very intense. And, even if EVERYTHING about the show is bad-
That doesn’t mean it’s wasn’t made with effort. You can tell real heart went into this show, and even if it’s not the best thing, or not even a good thing, as an artist I have to at least respect all the dedication it took to make this show. Good luck with your stuff mates
Probably not all of them, and the show has a lot more I know, but just from the trailer it really shows either poor clip choice or an over reliance on the f word and other curses for shock and attention, when by saying these words so much you are normalizing them and making them-
Anyways end of thread! 🧵
Huge shout out to this article () for helping me understanding swearing in writing abit better. Hope yall have a good day and peace outtttt I need to sleep
Also one final thing: again this is a non scientific thread, and in some places can be biased. Do not consider that as always gospel, it’s is not, very sorry if I got some info wrong
Gave the HH pilot a watch
Concept is somewhat interesting
Music can be fun
Alastor is honestly really fun
They do actually swear a lot (averaging 1 swear a minute)
The story kinda just meanders abit
Some of the animation feels just abit off
Give it a watch if you want, it’s ok

We can only hope
One final thing
Just because these shows swear a lot make them bad. Overswearing can honestly be a minor blemish is a show is really good
Just please remember don’t base your opinion on the show just cuz it swears a lot, watch it and decide if you think the story, music, and-
