Sketch pages of Hazbin and Helluva characters!
the ghost hunting team ever!
Can’t believe we never got the backstory on whatever the hell Hotch’s thing with fire was.
Like it was clearly a thing for him, fire was one of the few things that made him lose composure more than once yet we never find out?

Fire and ice have always been considered polar opposites.
But people are wrong are not polar opposites. In fact they are quite close.
Aaron hotchner was born into an upper middle class family, his father was a renowned lawyer, and although his element was air, the man was cold as ice, with hurtful and icy words. And an even worse right hook. Aaron always believed that man should never have been a father.
Finally when Aaron was fourteen years old, the fury and helplessness that he felt towards his father for every blow and kick he received from him. He turned too much, a blast of fire breaking through from his forearms, with which he had been trying to cover himself from the blows. The flames burned his father's hand, Aaron opened his eyes, and saw his father grab his right hand, which was red and with what Aaron believed could be second and third degree burns, Aaron heard his father murmur a "bloody monster" Before leaving the room, at a hurried pace. Aaron got up feeling strangely good, the pain that he felt in his body did not matter to him, in return a sick feeling of satisfaction lodged in his chest, when he saw how his father had fled.
It was not until the next morning that Aaron finally understood how much things had changed after that night, The fire was not good, it was destructive, dangerous and unreliable, a week after what happened, Aaron was on his way to boarding school far from Virginia.
Over time, Aaron learned to never use or say the element of him, because then, people would walk away, just like all the people who had known.
The years passed and finally there are only ashes of that teenager fearful of his father, in return this Hotch is serious and stoic, who made his way through the court and the FBI as if he were a bullet, Hotch who only needed to snap his fingers to be able to create magnificent flames, but also very dangerous. Although Hotch has never used them. Because at the end of the day Hotch is just a forest fire, a forest that burns itself.
He hates it.
Spencer Reíd is the son of a literature teacher, who is also a paranoid schizophrenic. When Spencer was ten years old his father abandoned them, after that Spencer barely managed to earn enough money to keep him and his mother alive, and to buy some of his mother's expensive medications.
That coupled with the fact that Spencer was a Genius in a las vegas public school, just complicates everything.
Things got worse when the soccer team tried to strip him naked, and tie him to the goalpost. Spencer only remembered closing his eyes tightly and thinking that he wanted that to end no matter how, when he opened his eyes again, everything was covered in ice the football team with frost all over his body the rope in the captain's hand completely frozen. Spencer didn't think twice, she grabbed his shirt and bag and then ran out of the place.
Spencer had read all about the elements, he knew that the people who controlled the ice, along with the people who controlled the fire, were the minority in society. Spencer had learned the hard way, that people hated people with the element of ice. Ever since he awakened the element of him he had been accused of having no feelings, having little empathy and occasionally being a psychopath. Did people know that he misused the term?
Things really got better for Spencer, when he met Jason Gideon, and later he joined the FBI. In the FBI they were not obliged to tell the element of him, of course this was in the file of each agent, but you were not obliged to tell your element to another agent if you did not want to. Spencer really appreciated it, because the people of the water element avoided him like the plague when he found out that he controlled ice.
This was how he ended up creating a three-step plan so that no one would find out, number one, avoid physical contact, his body temperature could become below zero, it was practically a miracle that no frost formed on his body, number two, be careful with liquids, you still have problems so that they do not freeze when you touch them, and number three, never use your element.
And everything was going well he had friends, for the first time since college, of course he still missed Elle but he still has Gideon. But then the Hankel case happens.
Nothing is good anymore. Gideon left, he only left him a letter, but that does not prevent it from hurting less, the man abandoned him just like his father.
This in the bathroom he just injected dilaudid, he probably missed the dose because he does not feel his legs and everything is blurry.
He can't go on like this anymore. This will kill him, he doesn't want to die, not even at least. With shaky legs he got up off the ground. A single thought in his head.
He must get rid of the dilaudid.
The next seven days are like hell on earth.
When the worst of the withdrawal is over, Spencer forces herself to go back to work, she still had a few days off, but staying in his apartment hasn't helped her stop thinking about the dilaudid. His hands have a slight tremor, and his control over his element has diminished, causing him to freeze the odd thing in his path.
Spencer has probably been trying to complete this file for a little more than half an hour, she knows that Morgan and Prentiss have already noticed, but Spencer prefers to ignore the worried looks that they both give her, her eyes wander to the pencil in her hand, Note how the frost has completely spread over it, and is starting to do the same with the file.
Spencer quickly gets up from his desk, he can't allow that to continue happening, no matter how he just wants it to stop, he's fed up with not even being able to complete his paperwork, enters the bathrooms, and goes to the sink that you always use it, just touch it, it starts to fill with frost, you want it to stop, it doesn't matter how, you just want it to stop.
Reid had always intrigued Hotch. Since he met him, the young man had attracted him, there was something about Spencer, that caught Hotch's attention. At first Aaron worried that someone as young as Reid would see such bloody scenes, like the ones Aaron had seen over the years, soon Reid showed them that this was not a problem for him, and Aaron learned that while Reid could be extremely young, he was also extremely mature and contrary to many of the young agents if he respected orders.
The team had a no-profiling rule, Hotch knew that. Hell, he had been one of those who proposed her, but he couldn't help it he knew Reid was hiding something from them, he wanted to believe that he would tell them when he felt comfortable. Gideon wouldn't have pulled all those strings, if it was something dangerous.
It only took a hug for Hotch to notice. Reid had held him when they found him with Hankel, the way he felt the cold creep across his normally warm skin, a sensation he hadn't felt since he was a teenager.
It all fell into place slowly, how Reid looked nervous when someone tried to touch him, how Reid would look confused when Morgan tasted his coffee and complained that it was too sweet and icy.
After that he couldn't help but notice the details, every single thing Reid would do differently, to keep it a secret from him.
Then when he saw the young man get up from his desk and practically run to the bathrooms. Hotch worried, thought for a moment before getting up and heading to the bathrooms in search of Spencer.
When he opened the bathroom door, Aaron saw Spencer looking at himself in the mirror, firmly grasping the hand wash, the young man did not notice his presence at the moment, more concerned about how, the frost was expanding through the mirror and the hand wash, When Spencer finally noticed Aaron's presence, she was quick to hide her hands behind her back.
- I - I can explain it - the panic was noticeable in Reid.
- Spenc ...
- I know it's not normal, that's why I hide it, people don't usually trust people like me, I'll understand if you want me to transfer ...
- Spencer! - Hotch exclaimed again, to get the young man's attention.
Spencer finally forced himself to look at Hotch, he saw how his boss did not seem angry, the man extended his palm and from one moment to another small flames appeared in the lines of his fingers,
Spencer looked at him with surprise written on his face, he always believed that Hotch's element was earth or air, in addition to the fact that the chances, that two people, with some of the rarest elements, would work in the same place were extremely low. .
- I would never ask you to transfer, Spencer you are a fundamental part of this team, besides we would all miss you - Hotch said looking at the young man who was hugging himself - you don't know? He - he added belatedly, although he only received a small nod from Spencer.
Hotch made the flames disappear from his hand and took a step toward Spencer, bringing his hand closer to Spencer before quickly pulling it away.
- can I touch you? - Hotch asked, receiving another nod from Spencer, Hotch approached to wrap him in a hug.
"Maybe you don't think so right now, but you're important to all of us Spencer," Aaron said.
Spencer's arms wrapped Hotch in a soft hug. The fire hurt Spencer, and the ice made Hotch feel weak.
But it was worth it.
Hotch observed, as a slight smile, made its way across Spencer's face, who seemed to be much calmer.
Yes, it was definitely worth it.
I made this drawing of Otto and Norman and I think I could do more, you know like little polaroids showing things that happened during their years at University, maybe I could even put some little story under the drawing, you are welcome to try to create the story behind the photo and send me images on which to base myself to make other of these polaroid drawings
Elements au (part 1 pre-hotchreid)
Elements headcanons
"Harry, isn't this your father?" - asked mj who was holding a polaroid in his hand
- What? Let me see
Harry took the polaroid Mj was holding, his father didn't seem to be older than him in the photo, Norman was smiling without looking at the camera, it wasn't a cruel or trusting smile.
Harry did not think he had ever seen his father smile like that, Norman Osborn seemed genuinely happy, Harry looked in a corner of the photo, it did not take him long to recognize the handwriting of his father, there it was written "the best day of my life"
— I wonder what would have happened for Dad to stop looking so happy — thought Harry.
— HEY GUYS, HERE ARE MORE PHOTOS! — Peter called as he held a box in his arms
your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.
Did anyone tell Ford
More relativity falls-
This was only a tiny bit tricky. The only reason Sock Opera happens is because Mabel has a crush. I replaced Gabe with Carla. Stanley won’t have a new crush every week like Mabel, so instead he’s up to some stupid shenanigan trying to get Carla’s attention. Im trying to AVOID making OC’s. Any roles that can’t be swapped or replaced by a canon character will remain the same. (Note: Fiddleford will work beside Stan and Ford, Stanley will be using his inventing skills for the play so that’s why Fiddleford wouldn’t be able to help Ford.)
Again, it’s not a fic, just a...idk it’s like trying to tell someone what happens in a movie by memory.
Stanley sees Carla reading in the library as he and Ford are researching. Mostly it’s just Ford though. Stanley goes to attempt to flirt with her and sees that she’s reading a play.
“Do you like Romeo and Juliet, Stan?”
“I’ve never met em. What’re they, your cousins?”
“Haha, you’re funny! But really, have you read the play?”
“Oh! Uh, yeah I was totally kidding. Yeah! I’m like...a theater expert!”
And thus the trouble begins. Like in the original Sock Opera, a deal is made between the twins. Stanford would help Stanley with his...weird musical take on Shakespeare and then Stanley would help Ford try to unlock the laptop. Stanford mostly just made sure that Stanley’s script stayed on track.
“I may need to make a few revisions, but this is pretty close. I’m surprised, Stanley. I didn’t think you knew anything about Shakespeare.”
“Huh? I watched An East Side Tale and went from there.”
“....”
Stanley is worried about the play because some of the machines and robots have been malfunctioning, he’s worried that one mistake will ruin any future chances with Carla and that would be like...super embarrassing. He apologetically tells Stanford that the play needs a little more attention. As the story goes, Stanford is still struggling to open the laptop and also hasn’t slept. Bill takes the opportunity to make a deal with him and out of desperation, Stanford accepts. The laptop is promptly destroyed and Stanford is immediately stressed out.
Carla takes the time during intermission to tell Stanley that his take on Romeo and Juliet is really unique. She says if the rest goes well, then maybe they could go to the diner together. He takes that maybe a little too seriously, so when Ford possesses one of the extra robots in the room and urgently tells his twin what happened, Stanley is hesitant to help right away, but he caves into that hilarious auto tune voice. Stanley goes to retrieve the Journal when he’s intercepted by Bill Cipher in Stanford’s body.
“Bill Stanford! Banford!” Stanley is truly a creative. 🙏🙏 After they fall to the stage, Stanley is quickly able to overpower Banford and Ford takes his body back...as painful as it may be. Bill possesses one of the robots on stage and swears to the Pines Twins that they can’t stop what’s to come...it’s pretty scary until the robot malfunctions and explodes, setting off a chain reaction of mishap and destruction on set. Fiddleford watches in horror as his robots fly through the air...and so does everyone else, but it’s because they don’t want to get hit with metal scrap, not because Fiddleford’s masterpieces are, well, being blown to pieces.
After the show, Stanley profusely apologizes for the laptop being destroyed. Stanford expresses that he’s disappointed about the situation and is apologetically thankful to his brother for sacrificing his play for him.
“Y’all sacrificed my inventions, that’s what y’all did. There better be a good explanation for it too, d’yinno how hard it was to steal car parts for these?” Fiddleford mutters as he tries to salvage the pieces of his creations. Carla, surprisingly, meets Stanley after the show too. He’s sure she’s going to call him a failure or a jerk, but she doesn’t. She’s mostly understanding and said that having actual robots was an ambitious project for a theater play.
“I’m...not surprised it didn’t turn out well. Fiddleford’s inventions tend to blow up around you and your brother, but maybe you could just give me the script. Everything kind of exploded before we could see how it ends.”
Stanley is practically speechless until Stanford elbows him back to reality.
“O-oh y-yeah sure! M-maybe...at the diner?”
“Meet me there when you get cleaned up!” She grins.
It’s a win for Stanley...and a lose? But mostly a win. Still, Stanford reminds Stanley that their window to finding the real author is closing. They need to move quickly.
