CRYING ON THE DANCEFLOOR - Hazbin Hotel Episode 4 REACTION - Zamber Reacts 

I think the important thing is that Angel _thinks_ Charlie is in danger. Which says two things. Firstly, it is indicative how how much Valentino has abused him, and secondly, Angel cares enough about Charlie to not want her anywhere near that.

It was very touching and heartbreaking how Angel was more scared for Charlie than for himself. He really does care. Also, "Loser, Baby" is the best song in the show by far. Keith David and Blake Roman have great voices, and I love the message. It's not your usual, "cheer up, things will get better" song. It's more realistic. it's saying, "both our lives suck, but at least we're not alone." I'm so glad Angel Dust has Husk to confide in now.

There was a lot of "oh they glamorized it" comments, yeah, but I agree (as a survivor of SA) that they did a good job showing how it can be. The fear, the fucked up way you can still love and even desire your abuser despite everything, hoping things will change, and then the sadness and anger and helplessness when things don't change. It's a complicated mess, and it's okay to present it as a complicated mess. (Plus, I'm 99% sure that the so-called "glamorized" dance sequence is something happening in Angel's head-- he says something about dissociating, and it'd make sense if this was something he was imagining to himself to escape mentally from the shoot.) Thank you for your video, and understanding of the situation!

Still adore that Husk is the "Aggressive Kindness" Anthony needed

There's something really BEAUTIFUL about Loser, Baby, because it does something Charlie can't do for all that she wants to help. She has such high hopes for everyone and sometimes it feels impossible to reach those goals so people feel even worse about themselves. Whereas Husk meets Angel on the same level, not because he doesn't think Angel can't be better. But because he knows Angel needs to feel like he has someone with him in the pit before he can start climbing.

A fan theory in the Poison sequence is after the line “I disassociate, disappear” the images that appear on the screens behind him are what’s *ACTUALLY* happening to him, and the foreground footage is what Angel’s mind is his denial.

"I think this is yours..." amazing how one line of dialogue sums up the relationship between three people...

I really appreciate how Zamber has such strong genuine feelings on this subject matter and how well she explained it.

“Masquerades are so fun!!” Everyone who knows what’s coming: 😬😢🥺

Angel Dust deserves so much better than this. The way Valentino treats him and what Angel said about trying to get broken enough that Val will let him go, it's really painful to watch. I'm glad he and Husk have found common ground and can support eachother. And I love the message in "Loser, Baby." It's not your usual, "cheer up, things will get better" song. It's more realistic. Yeah, Angel's life is screwed up, but he's not alone. He now has someone who understands that he can look to for support. That's as good a start as any.

Apparently some people on twitter are mad about this episode because they *dared* to show sexual abuse and how awful it is.

“Treat you to a fancy restaurant and then take you home at a respectable time” 🤣🤣

Girl it breaks my heart seeing you cry! You have a very kind heart, i wish i could give you a hug and im not even a hugger lol

As hard as this episode was it was nice to see the on screen confirmation of how much Angel really does care about Charlie. Also Charlie messed up but she quickly learned from her mistake so that was nice too. The voice actor for Angel really demonstrated how much emotion he puts into his work in this one.

You don’t need to apologize, you can cry as much as you want

"They're fucking singin'?!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Husk: 🎵I've got friends on the otherside~🎵

Imagine Lucifer finds out that Valentino tried to violate his daughter’s arm like that 💀

One of the most subtle and fucked up things we see in the poison mv is actually the ending. We see Vox go into the camera and watch Anthony's breakdown at the end. Man literally is given no peace or privacy in that hellhole, not even in the moment where he needs and deserves such things most.

Yeah this episode will break some people. There’s a reason they increased the rating and added a trigger warning just for this episode

"Hopefully it doesn't make me sad" Oh zamber didn't know...

”Loser” is such a GOOD song! It’s uplifting but doesn’t hold back. I’ve been listening to it nonstop for a week!

Loser baby is such a good song for angel dust specifically. Angel didn’t need positive affirmations at that point. He can’t be a “perfect innocent victim” and he needs to be told that he’s worth loving anyway. I think that’s really important. Hypersexuality, drugs, and alcohol are all bad coping mechanisms, but they don’t make him worthless. Anthony deserves love and healing regardless of how he copes or what happened to him. I got off track but yeah, this episode is fantastic

"I'm filling up my glass but it's always hollow..." Jesus what a line. Trying to fill that void but it's never enough.

Before episode 5 came out this was my favorite episode. This was a topic we all knew was coming ever since the addicted music video and oof that was rough but that’s the realistic to what victims of the same abuse go through. Angel’s journey of bettering himself and separating himself from Valentino will be good to watch. Angel truly cares about Charlie which I love. Keith David delivering in the music department isn’t shocking I love his duet with Angel it’s so heartwarming comforting him saying they are both losers who make the best of what they can is endearing.

“Hopefully it’s a good time, and it’s fun, and it doesn’t make me sad” 😳 Um… yeah sorry. I even put a comment on your episode 3 reaction saying you’re going to want your plushies nearby to cuddle with because this episode is not easy to watch. That being said it’s my favorite episode of the show so far despite the subject matter.

About Velvette... Those love potions in this episode are one of her mass produced products, ads were even featured in episode 3. What's more, they are a collaboration with Valentino using the pheromones in his spit, which he normally uses as his influencing red smoke but is elevated to a LEGAL MAGICAL ROOFEE when used as a potion

Virtual hugs zamber You deserve all the virtual hugs you can have from everyone. I know that we all love you and you’re a beautiful soul we watch your videos, loving seeing your reaction and a kind heart you have. Thank you for this.

i honestly want to thank you for taking the time to sit and feel those scenes and explain your compassion for those in similar situations. I normally have seen u so bubbly and and to see this from u gave me emotional yet happy tears. Ty ty for just being human and feeling and not judging or downplaying

As someone who was s/a'd for years by a family member and just recently learning that it wasn't normal in families, I felt for Angel extremely hard. I hope he gets the help he deserves and hope everyone who's going through the same gets the love and help they deserve.

You can see how Val manipulate everything, he knew he could not take on Charlie so he drag Angel alone and told him that he could hurt her...and Angel just wanted to protect her but let be Honnest if Angel didn't step in, Val would have a pretty hard time flying again..

I personally knew a few women who went through similar situations like this whether it’s the “job” and/or the abuse and it’s obviously horrible. Fortunately they managed to get out, but only two of them I know had a good life afterwards or basically were able to move forward with their lives while leaving that in the past. This stuff is real and I find it very unfortunate how many women who want to do related work like this and either don’t know how high the risks can be or they don’t care. That and the abuse is real too and people need help and get out of it right away. The episode does a good job showing that one bad side of how the real world can be, but it also shows how there’s someone who can be there for them as well.

Not sure what you have gone through in your past but thanks for being so vulnerable for us. Could not have been easy. Can really see the pain in your eyes. I hope you keep surviving and being an example that things get better

As a r and sa victim I reacted very hard to this whole episode, took me a whole day to come back and finish it. I really liked how you shed light upon the abuse and worded it so nicely ❤

Posion such a bop but heartbreaking

I tried (poorly) to explain this show and this episode to a friend recently, and got a very negative reaction and I've been feeling pretty bad about it since. I'm really glad to hear you explain your emotions in this way. It helped me a lot to better understand what I did wrong and how I could better handle things in the future.

I hate how much Poison slaps knowing what Angel is going thru

I like how they did Husker responding to Dust. He is like “I won’t be your f’ck buddy, but I’ll be your drink buddy”. Not all lustful interests work out, but you can gain a new pal from it.

Did you notice how his body language closed up when he was talking to Valentino on the 'phone?

Thank you so much for sharing this video with us and being so vulnerable and open about what is very clearly a very traumatic experience that you've had. I hope that you are in a much better situation now, and that you can heal from it. You are so strong for being willing to talk about this topic and let people know that things can get better. I hope you have a wonderful day ❤

As someone that for sure related to that scene and has REALLY started enjoying your videos, I have gotten help. And I absolutely appreciate how genuinely you seemed to understand that feeling. To anyone out there, I also hope you find a truly safe place to live and heal.

This episode really affected me with Angels story. I was SOBBING. The way he said he is doing it so he can completely fuck himself up and break himself so he won't be Vals favourite anymore. Goddamn. Also, Poison is a straight bop, but boy is it HEAVY. Husk and Angel Dust are so cute together. I am definitely onboard with their ship. I really want Charlie to fully fuck up Val. We keep seeing hints at her demon form, and I think had Angel not gotten involved, she would've gone full rage mode on Val.

Angel has to go though so much! But atleast he has people on his side who care for him! Also Huskerdust ❤ Their duet was amazing! I know the poisen scenes are controversial, but I think they perfectly portrayed how Angel finds everything uncomfortable but still can't escape it.

@IAmZamber,you have addressed Angels situation better than I could have myself,its never an easy thing to watch.Its physically and mentally painful when your in such a terrible position like that,and all someone can do to cope is drink,or continue to do what they do in a terrible line of work because they eventually feel like they cant get out or they feel like thats all they are worth,its absolutely heartbreaking. 💔

Not only are the lyrics of the songs in this episode insane, the delivery adds a dimension to these songs that reach in and rip out sour soul.

Two of my sisters whom I'm very close to have been in numerous relationships with people who ended up being extremely abusive. One of them ended up being taken far away with her ex and I hadn't seen or heard a thing from her for years upon years before she was finally able to get out of it. All I can really say is I hope I get to see someone rip Valentino's wings off.

This is the first time I've ever considered a show to be the greatest of all time, but the character writing is by far the best I've ever seen. And I have no life, so I've seen a lot of shows and movies

We love you so much Zamber. 💜 I was lucky to escape such a position in my life, and I was unfortunately very young and naive. I didn't realize it until it was further down the line. So seeing this scene was extremely hard and yet it was so reassuring in a sense that Hazbin brought it to light as this topic is never really portrayed a lot. And honestly this is why Angel is my favorite. I just always hope anyone who has been in such a position or currently is, knows they're never alone, and that you're loved and have support. 🫶🏻

I cannot overstate just how much I loved this episode. Keith David and Blake Roman were absolutely incredible. This episode deserves all the awards. It was genuinely amazing. If it doesn’t win an Emmy, a BAFTA, an Annie or SOMETHING, I will be so annoyed because it is a genuine masterpiece in tv. The songs were easily my favorite so far. I’m going to listen to the song Loser, Baby on loop so much. Angel Dust and Husk were characters I liked fine enough when I started the show, but now they have skyrocketed to two of my favorites. I am officially a HuskerDust shipper! Also on a side note, fuck Valentino. I hope he gets such a gruesome death later on in the show.

seeing you, cry broke my heart. It is a hard scene to watch, but I also think it’s very important. 😢

“Hopefully it’s a great time and it’s good and it’s fun and it doesn’t make me sad.” Oh, baby…😢

The way he was fidgeting with his hands when he was on the call with valentino shows how nervous he was... :(

Your reaction was very touching to me. I personally thought this episode was amazing, it had a few flaws with the tone here and there but as someone who has been in that situation in the past I really could relate to not just what happened but how angel reacted to it specifically. It honestly hit me like a truck just how familiar everything was. I can see how its too much for some people and especially survivors who cant relate to it but for my experience the episode meant a lot to me. Especially the songs omg???? Sometimes, when you are down that bad you can't see what people mean when they say "its okay it'll get better" "just hang in there". Sometimes what you need is for people to be like "yea that's fucked up and its okay that you feel like absolute shit", its recognizing your situation and letting yourself grieve. And on top of all that husk was letting Angel know he wasn't alone, that no matter what they were there for each other. The song was just that perfect mix of hard love and reality and absolute compassion/empathy that helped me in the past and it just made me smile. It reminded me of those that also helped me growing up and it such a bop too. Just absolute props to everyone that worked on it!

Girl I sobbed so hard too..I swear I paused like thirty times trying to get through it lol...

Me, 20 seconds in; oh honey, you think masquerade as in the party? Nah nah nah, it's trauma time.

Husk gave angle the aggressive kindness that he needed.

9:29 I love who zamber is so emotional in this because I was just like her when I saw that scene

“Hopefully its good and its fun and it doesn’t make me sad” The way I gasped out loud and said “Oh hon, not this one”

So far I've never seen you cry in a video before and seeing you cry made me cry and just wanna give you a super big hug right now.

When Valentino threw Angel on the sofa, I almost cried because, as someone who experienced that EXACT scenario at age 15, it's horrifying, and awful...

This is my favorite episode so far and cemented Angel as my favorite character. Also, despite all the emotions, I find it funny how excited you were before the episode and saying you hoped you wouldn't cry haha

thank you for being so real and vulnerable on camera for this reaction. hope you’re doing okay

"Hopefully it's good and it doesn't make me sad." Well, you're half right.

The worst part is that Val was based on Viv's ex. She clearly created Val to process what she went through.

Can we all agree that this episode is basically a psa of sa?

I've been on the other side of it for a long time now. I cried when I watched this episode but it made me feel seen. I am so glad it is in my past and I survived, but I'm also glad they did such a good job handling this subject..

This episode and "Poison" are what sold me on Blake roman taking over from Michael Kovach Blake is breathtakingly talented.

I just wanted to say, I love Zamber now. 😿💕

What really hit me is Angel’s fear leading up to the dressing room and his anger after. It shows how manipulative Val is. He has Angel trapped so much that he can direct Angel’s anger at the person trying to help him. Also hearing his voice break from the usual high pitched carefree tone and hearing his real pained voice hits sooooo hard.

I have been obsessed with this show to the point I've watched it 4 times start to current and been watching reactions on RU-vid as well. You're reaction is the first I've seen where I feel like someone actually gets it ya know? I've seen so many reactions but nobody seems to really "get" that scene and it's comforting to see someone get it. You rock. Thank you for this reaction. It's comforting to watch, it's like sharing an experience without actually ever meeting someone.

As a male victim of SA, finding ways to deal with it and get away from it, this is very realistic. At least from my own perspective. I tend to deflect and avoid emotions and indulge in vices so I relate a lot to Angel Dust. This episode is one of my favs and Poison is my favorite song in the series. Addict is still a fav of mine even if its a bit older. That part about breaking yourself to look less attractive to your predator is really something that has passed through my own mind a few times. Fortunately, I have good friends and family to help me.

thank you for being open about the matter. I appreciate it and I hope you are doing okay after this episode.

Something I really wanna shout-out is the animation sequence and especially the voice acting especially with Blake like when he said Yes Valentino you just Heard The submissive fear in his voice like and then his performance of poison like he did a hell of a performance and the line of if I'm broken maybe I won't be his favorite toy anymore cause there are some people in a similar or same situation where maybe if they break themselves enough that be enough to free themselves from there own Valentino

"Poison" has NO business being a bop, but it sure is. I'm glad they cover this subject with the seriousness it deserves.

This episode was a complete roller coaster of emotions... I was in a state of shock for hours

As someone who has been in angels exact position....they got it perfect. The disassociating. The depersonalization....the masking.

ooooooh man this was already a heart breaking episode and this is an even more heartbreaking reaction....i was not prepared for you to have that talk...damn

I went in to this episode not knowing what to expect and came out very emotional, angels situation is very very similar to what I have gone through, and I appreciate the lesson that I also recently learned of being able to let the walls down and just cope with it all with people that can relate. All in all I really love this episode, despite how horrible some of the themes were

cant wait to see zamber fangirling for the whole next episode

The most disgusting thing I heard after an SA attempt, followed by a further much worse attempt, was from the wife of the predator who said "It takes two to tango. So what did you do to deserve it?" That shit was burned into me because I was very young (still an adult, but barely), and I was taken in by these people for a couple weeks as my car was in the shop and my car was my home at the time. Glad I left that city.Wish I could tell them off. What's more dusgusting than what they did and said, is the fact that I believed I was in the wrong for awhile. But I've fucking grown.

6:56 and 22:08 I'm Charlie in this moments

AAAAHHHH cant wait for episode 6

It is such a heavy topic to discuss and why I’m thankful that animation can delve into such manners now. Also Keith David singing and swearing at the same time is like honey with spice for my ears. Can’t believe we’re already halfway done with season 1 Hope you’ll have full reaction to just their songs (and the one that the cast from the pilot made in honor of the show’s premiere)

I feel another reason why people (I'm not any kind of shipper myself though) like to ship Husk and Angel is the sort of way they both contrast and compliment each other when it comes to sexuality. Husk is canonically pansexual, specifically of the "gender blind" variety, but isn't all that outwordly sexual as a person and values consent and fairness in that sort of thing. Meanwhile Angel is strictly gay, but willing to sleep with women if it will benefit him in some way, while also being very much wrapped up in non-consesual stuff and being very sexually charged in most things he does. Naturally they have contrasts such as Husk being pretty reserved but open in that regard and Angel being very proudly lewd but ultimately closed to his tastes. They have compliments though such as Husk's gender blindness and Angel's androgyny or Husk's more reserved and fair sexuality being really something that could benefit Angel in the long run. Though personally I see them more as drinking buddy material, with a interesting almost "buddy cop" dichotomy between them.

Thank you for being so open with your emotions and trusting enough to share with your audience. Trusting enough to be vulnerable on camera and share your experience undoubtedly gave a lot of people insight into just how much of an impact something traumatic like this can be, had they been lucky enough to not have to experience something like it themselves.

I always cry at this episode

Husk being there to support Angel was amazing.

Sending a lot of love to you Zamber. Thank you for your reactions, for your comments and I hope is someone is in this kind of situation get the help you need.

He visto muchas reacciones y eres la persona mas empatica y sensible en lo que respecta a tu opinion y interpretacion. Solo quiero decirte que me alegra ver que hay personas que sienten que se ha retratado bien una relación abusiva y tóxica. ❤❤😢

Holy shit I don't think I've ever seen zamber cry..... Even tho I've rewatched this episode so many times, this is the first time I genuinely cried(._.)

Your reaction to this made me shed a tear actually. 😢 Virtual kisses Zamber 💋 😢

i love your videos tbh your heart always comes through like i can tell you are a really good person also i really appreciate the things you said to those of us that have been angel, thank you ❤

I had to come and check your reaction. This episode was great and it can also be hard to get through. I really respect you taking the time to talk about those scenes. You gave respect to the topic even though it’s hard to talk about it

Watching Angel only panics when Charlie is at risk...

It's definitely nice to get a perspective like yours on it, I never assumed it was doing it wrong but regardless, always good to know more. I know as I'm writing this it's been some time since that recording but thank you for your take, and my heart goes out to you with how much this episode mattered to you. On a brighter note, I don't listen to a lot of music on repeat but I HAD to keep listening to Loser Baby over and over XD so good

The particularly sad episodes are always some of my favourites, and this is no exception. 🌧 I also join the crowd by saying I love how they portray SA and abusive relationships in general, and how it's *not* always as simple as *just* hating one's abuser, or as easy as *just* leaving them. Also please never feel the need to apologize for feeling your feelings. That's what makes us humans. And demons.

This song really broke me. When I watched it I broke down and cried, because I was there. It’s not the same in some ways…but I started getting SA’d when I was a child. It started with family members and then moved to others. It felt like one cruel person replaced another, and looking back from where I am now it was easily 12-15 men and two women. The constant cycle of “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I promise I won’t raise my hand to you again. I promise you just wanted it, that you enjoyed it”, and back and forth to “what’s wrong?! Why are you overreacting? Maybe I wouldn’t have graped you in your sleep if you weren’t so f*cking pathetic.” I cannot stress the power this had over me from age 7 until 4 years ago. It always started with “family always does this.” The mental and physical ab*se was enough to leave me in hospitals. The amount of tears I shed for those who only wanted to use me. It built up this toxic and messed up mental fragmentation that convinced me that I was only good at s*x, that I was only WORTH s*x. I was always asexual, but others had manipulated me into fully believing that I was a s*xual person. Thank you so much for that little bit there where you said that if anyone related to angel dust and that song, it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to get help. I actually cried when you said that, because I felt heard, I felt like my pain matters in some way. Thank you for the sincerity, because it warmed my heart.

The fact that in that scene of abuse between Val and Angel is based in true events breaks my heart😔

I'm only just getting caught up on these reactions as I slowly watch and record my own, but I just wanted to say that your reactions to this series are consistently my favorite ones out of all the ones I'm watching. Especially this one. Thank you.

You know I love Loser, Baby- it doesn’t offer fake assurances, just that you’re not alone and letting down your walls can help you feel less alone. Because you have people who care about you.

Big hugs Zamber!! You are so sweet and kind and it is hard to talk about. ❤
