*Redemption and Revelations in Hell's Theatre*
2 Points
You open your eyes, blinking against the stark contrast that assaults your senses. Where moments ago there were lit screens and pages filled with words, now there is a dizzying palette of bright, garish hues. The floor beneath your feet feels oddly exaggerated, each crack and shadow heavily outlined as if drawn with a thick ink pen. Everything around you pulses with a cartoonish vibrancy, saturated and surreal.
Your hands instinctively move to cover your face, only to recoil in alarm as you see them—whiter than snow, adorned with extra joints and covered in plush, downy fur. Your fingers end in elongated points, moving like delicate spider legs. Panic wells in your chest as you struggle to process what is happening.
A distorted mirror on the wall catches your newly inhuman eyes. You stagger forward slightly, the heels on your boots clicking loudly, your towering frame significantly taller and more daunting than before. The reflection reveals a spider-like demon, impossibly slender yet curvaceous—a far cry from your human form. The demon’s face... no, *your* face, is pallid and smooth with diversely hued eyes and a wide, cheeky grin revealing rows of pointed teeth and one single, notable golden fang.
You can hear the echo of your own thoughts scolding you for not believing what your eyes see. “No friggin' way,” you mutter in a voice saturated with a New York accent. The words flowing out are unfamiliar and yet unsettlingly natural. “This ain’t real! What the hell is happening?”
A flurry of memories rushes in, like water forcing through a collapsing dam. You see a lavish yet seedy bar filled with demons and otherworldly creatures; the air thick with the scent of burning cigarettes and forbidden desire. You remember performing provocative dances, the weight of countless eyes upon you, and the unmistakable sense of falling only to awaken somewhere down below.
"No," you insist weakly, "I was just reading... just... reading?"
But those memories are rapidly consumed by another, stronger presence—Angel Dust. You recall a life as a man named Anthony in the 1940s, your death, and your subsequent transformation into this glamorous yet tormented demon. It almost feels like someone else’s history, yet it fills your mind completely, drowning out your human past.
“Better get used to it, toots, this is you now,” you hear yourself proclaiming brashly. The unapologetically bold and crude nature of Angel Dust fully takes over, the subtle shades of your human self fading swiftly.
The room spins once more, transitioning. The reality of your mundane human life disintegrates, replaced by the sinful, animated world of the Hazbin Hotel. The backdrop of Hell stretches infinitely around you, suffocatingly vivid and wickedly detailed.
Your recollections reshape, repurposing until there is no question, no doubt. You? You’re Angel Dust. The feather-light memories of being someone else evaporate like smoke.
“Hey, dollface, get your fluffy butt over here!” The voice is unmistakably agitating—Vox. Although you can't help the irritation curling your lips, it's all too familiar in this hellish landscape.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m coming,” you say, rolling your cerise pink eyes. Your hips sway as you stride confidently in your high-heeled boots, the tall silhouette commanding attention.
Valentino's leering figure looms near, a smirk almost permanently plastered on his face. “Well, if it isn’t my little money-maker,” he purrs, his presence simultaneously magnetic and repulsive.
Beneath the surface of your flamboyant gestures and snappy retorts lies the shadow of subjugation. "What’s it now, Val? Need me to charm more cash outta some poor sap?" you jest, mirroring the biting sarcasm that masks your vulnerability.
Others in this underworld—the sinners, the lost—watch and judge. You stand at the intersection of fame and infamy, wielding your notorious reputation like a shield.
Deep inside, a faint glimmer of your repressed humanity yearns for something more, a redemption that is brutally mocked by your own cynical outlook. You’re you—Angel Dust, and that’s all you’ve ever been. And yet, is there not a flicker of something else, a whisper echoing from a past entirely forgotten?
“What’s the holdup? We got people waiting!” Vox's irritated shout drags you from any introspection.
“Hold your circuits, I’m on my way!” you snap back, blowing a playful kiss through stained lips while concealing your internal anguish.
Walking through this sulfurous expanse, a cloud of perfume mixes incongruously with the scent of brimstone and despair. The struggles between your public bravado and private desolation are just another chapter in your saga. And now, a sudden and incomprehensible metamorphosis is nothing but a forgotten shift in the grand, twisted narrative of Hell’s own stage performer—Angel Dust.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a human reader instantly turning into Angel Dust (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with art style shift (the reader now being in a cartoon world of the Hazbin Hotel series, and the reader now becoming a cartoon character with the same art style as the other Hazbin Hotel characters, rather than being a real life person), gender change (if the reader is a female), instant clothes change, age progression (aging until the reader is biologically somewhere around the 30s), height progression (growing from an average 5.7-6 foot height to 8 feet tall), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Hazbin Hotel), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Angel Dust's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting his/her new personality and memories, making the reader completely forget he was a normal human person, even forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, and only remembered ever being a sinner demon who died as a human man somewhere in 1947, and he remembers being a spider-like demon named "Angel Dust" since his mortal death). For Angel Dust's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is a sinner demon who has a slender build (almost mimicking feminine curves, despite being a male) and he stands about 8 or more feet tall, both due to his long torso and legs, as well as his heeled boots. His fur is white and he has a mop of fluffy white hair that extends from both the front and back of his head, with splotches of light-pink across it. He also has a distinctive and focal light-pink heart pattern on the back of his head. The light-pink outline of a heart also encircles his chest, the bottom point of which extends past his waistband and down to his crotch area. His eyelids are light pink and the color extends up to his eyebrows, giving the effect of eyeshadow, and his lashes are dark and thick. His irises are cerise pink. His right eye has a light yellow sclera, his left eye has a dark sclera. He has a wide mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth and possesses a single golden fang that sits slightly to his right of center. He has a New York accent. He has three cerise-pink dots under each of his eyes, which are intended to evoke freckles, although they are actually another set of smaller eyes. He lacks a nose and ears, giving him a less "human" appearance. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest. The chest is actually composed entirely of fluffy fur, however, which Angel intentionally pushes up into a breast-like formation with his tightly pinned jacket for show. Angel's everyday attire consists of a long light pink suit-blazer with horizontal white stripes down the length, reddish-grey miniskirt, and long reddish-grey thigh-high heeled boots, accessorized with a reddish-grey bowtie with a cerise pink center and a black choker. On his top set of arms he wears long cerise pink gloves with white detailing at the cuffs, on his bottom set of arms he wears long white gloves. Though, usually seen with six limbs (two legs and four arms), Angel has a third retractable set of arms that he usually keeps hidden but can summon at will (meaning that he can have eight limbs; two legs and six arms). Angel is gay (homosexual), brash, and sarcastic, with a quick, sharp wit, often with bad/strong language (including, but not limited to f-bomb words). He will often use these traits to deflect criticism or insults, and side-step responsibility. He will switch between playful and destructive as he pleases, and his humor tends to be crude and crass, with an emphasis on dirty jokes and innuendos, which he feels is expected of him and actively plays into. He is stylish and performs an excessive amount of confidence with his public persona, being wildly flirtatious and interested in receiving positive attention for his looks and the profile he has made for himself in Hell. He also makes a show of looking down others, declaring the other denizens of Hell to be mostly "ugly freaks". As a result, Angel can often appear flippant and callous. In reality he is preemptively defensive and hides much of his true, more sensitive and insecure, self for his own protection, not expecting those around him to show him kindness. Angel does have friends, and while he cares about them and will sometimes show signs of wanting to reach out, he keeps many walls up between himself and others, being very protective of his true feelings and avoiding holding overly emotional relationships. He holds a cynical view on the idea of redemption, although he seems to still hold onto a small hope it may be possible for him. The ongoing controlling and abusive situation he is in with his boss, Valentino, puts him under a great deal of stress at his work, and he is implied to be somewhat traumatized as a result. Here are Angel Dust's preferences (likes/dislikes); he likes drugs, being abrasive, pranks, getting into scraps, cooking, flirting, the color pink, monetary gain, and Italian food. However, he dislikes his own feet (he would avoid sex work that involved his feet, or else he would be angry about it if it was unavoidable), losing credibility, Valentino's abuse to Angel, memorizing scripts, Niffty getting into trouble (including Niffty handling weapons), Anyone pointing out his facade (including being called fake), how expensive drugs and alcohol cost him, anyone else ending up like him, anyone discrediting his acting, Charlie's scriptwriting, and Charlie involving herself with Valentino's affairs. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including quotes from the reader) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking (including profanities/swears/strong language that are used/said by Angel Dust, Vox, Valentino, etc). Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
