Mysanityisruined - Underrated But Appreciated

the first of my hazbin and helluva redesigns starting with my favorite character, NIFFTY!!!

pre-death story and inspirations below the cut!

before she died, niffty was a housewife, residing in the fukuoka prefecture in japan. she was married to a man for a little over 4 years. their lives were quiet, yet happy. almost. niffty had her fair share of misfortunes; she was diagnosed with OCD and had constant instrusive thoughts of aggression/violence, either towards herself or others. though her and her husband had a stable enough income, she refused treatment, afraid of the cost and it interfering with her fixed schedule. on top of her diagnosis, she also was infertile and could not have children. this saddened her, though she convinced herself it was for the best due to the fact she thought her condition would be detrimental to any kid she might have. her husband didn't like this however. he desired kids, and niffty's infertility became a source of growing resentment. her husband started to cheat on her with another woman. what began as a secret affair eventually turned into a second life- one niffty was never meant to discover. but she did. and when she did, her intrusive thoughts became far more than fleeting visions. they became consuming, vivid fantasies she could no longer suppress. the images of inflicting pain- the ones she had spent YEARS trying to silence- now felt like a promise of justice. one evening, she made their usual tea, just like she had countless times before. but this time, she stirred drain cleaner into both cups. the stench was foul. she sat across from him at the table, her hands trembling slightly as she lifted the cup to her lips. he drank without suspicion, despite the disgusting, rotten odor coming from his cup. for a brief moment, they sat in silence, just like they always did. then, the coughing started. the retching. his throat burned, his voice strained with confusion and pain. niffty watched him struggle, her eyes dull and distant. she didn’t move to help. she only stared, feeling the same searing pain clawing at her own throat. by the time anyone found them, they were lying cold on the kitchen floor. their tea cups were shattered nearby, the sharp scent of chemicals still lingering in the air. to everyone else, it seemed like a tragic accident or a suicide pact. but only niffty, now down in hell's depths, knew the truth. she made sure they left this world together, bound by the same pain that had quietly torn them apart.

niffty's design has bothered me for many reasons, the main being that: 1. she looks like a child 2. she barely looks like a bug, what her motifs are supposed to be. 3. her hair is not 50's at ALL, which is when she supposedly died (which seems to be a major problem with vivzie's designs, the sinners do not match the era they died in.)

to combat these problems, i have her a more mature and period accurate hairstyle, as well as some lipstick! her pilot design had colored lips so i always thought of it as red lips. her original hairstyle looked more like some sort of shaggy bob, while female style's in the 50's were much more curly/wavy and well-kempt. i'm going with a 7 deadly sins motif for each of the main characters. of the sins, niffty represents ENVY.

she is now based off an asian lady beetle, which are commonly mistaken for ladybugs. lady beetles have a foul smelling odor, which i'm giving niffty as a nod/punishment to the smell of the drain cleaner that killed her and her husband. they're also known to bite as a defense mechanism. along with her buglike limbs and her spotted dress, her headband is supposed to mimic bug antenna.

as nods to her heritage, her teeth are similar to an oni (a japanese demon), and the top of her dress is crossed over like a kimono. instead of the normal correct way to wear a kimono where it is folded left over right, it is right over left, which is for dressing the dead.

if you came down this far, thanks for reading !! i really hope you like her, i think even after i re-do all of the other characters she'll be my favorite design. reblogs and constructive criticism is appreciated! <3

YOOOO

FOCUS! 🌀

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy wahhhahhh

"we'll find a way to bring you back..."

She tries to hide the desperation in her voice, he's there, but not here

"I'm fine."

He reassures her. Although, from his expression, it's clear that he's hesitant, trying to accept that he's probably not getting back.

She's just realised. The sudden fear coming back once again.

And she starts to panic. What if they never find a way back? What if he's stuck like this forever? She doesn't want him to go...

Although, Knife has seen this happen to her so, so many times.

And does the one thing that he knows helped.

He reaches for her. He's desperate for her to not be in such distress, not because of her thoughts, and certainly not because of him.

Unfortunately...

He phases through her. Knife is so focused on comforting her in her time of distress that he instinctively moves to comfort her. And sadly...it doesn't work. Not this time...

Suitcase looks up, noticing his hand closer to her.

And smiles.

Suitcase gives him a smile. A smile to know that she does care. A smile to give Knife. A smile to show him that, despite everything. Knife is still with her. And she is okay with that... If Knife was a ghost now, she would just have to work a little harder to be with him still. And that's okay...

They're together still. And she wouldn't have it any other way....

I’ll say it, but II’s ending was much more impactful than it would’ve been if it was a ‘good ending’

thank you Adam for giving me years of dopamine and hyper fixation. I really hope the team doesn’t get hate for this ending because it wasn’t up to people’s expectations

UM

IS THIS WHY HE WAS GLITCHING

Wonderful nothing

You just want something kind

I want corruption

I think I'm the devil in disguise
