Hazbin Hotel (Terraria playthrough)

For the actual animated series pilot by Vivziepop, this is not the right place to be looking.

**Hazbin Hotel** is a series of two multiplayer playthroughs of the 2D survival sandbox game Terraria which took place in the Gobcord Discord server. The playthroughs consistently have had Greem, Pink, and Matt as primary participants, with others such as Kris's friend Luke, Reb, Rain Man, Thanos Goose, and others tagging along. The playthroughs are known for the generation of zany or impressive in-game structures such as the eponymous Hazbin Hotel, Whore and Breedable Central, and The Junglathedral.

## Origin & Runtime

The original playthrough for Terraria was created by Sam (me, hi) on 9 April 2021 (according to carbon dating). The world was set on normal difficulty with a Crimson world (deliberately chosen). The name given for this world was "Hazbin Hotel" for Sam's (my) plan to build a massive, phallic hotel in which all of the NPC's in the world would live, parallel to the fictional infernal hotel for sinners depicted in Vivziepop's animated pilot of identical nomenclature. This was planned with no regards to architectural aesthetic nor any practicality within the game's mechanics which incentivizes NPC's *not* all living in the same house, thus Hazbin Hotel Terraria merely served as Sam's base with virtually no other inhabitants by the end of the first playthrough. Sometime in the middle of the playthrough, ownership of the world was passed from Sam to Pink, as Pink was available to play more often.

On 30 April 2021, three weeks after its beginning, the players of the first Hazbin Hotel playthrough defeated Moon Lord and beat the game. It wouldn't be until 6 August, over three months later, that a new playthrough would be initiated by Pink. It was this playthrough that generated The Junglathedral, Breedable Central (a revamp and spiritual successor of Whore Central), and Thanos Goose's Rainbow Chode. As opposed to the first, this Terraria world was named "Helluva Boss" in reference to the animated series which proceeded the pilot for Vivziepop's *Hazbin Hotel*; the world was played in expert mode, a difficulty at first seemingly insurmountable but gradually adjusted to, and deliberately chosen to be a Corruption world.

Ownership of Helluva Boss flip-flopped from Pink to Sam (initially for performance reasons) then back to Pink (for scheduling reasons), only for the world to be lost on Pink's hard drive on 11 September, ending the second and ultimate playthrough just shy of defeating the Empress of Light. This, along with Matt's 401 count break, is considered one of the 9/11's of Gobcord.

On 21 November 2021, a third Terraria Master playthrough began hosted by Pink called "zoophobia gigacope megacringe," in which the character Tito made their debut. The playthrough is named after Vivziepop's 2020 animated short series "ZooPhobia."

## Notable Structures

Below is a list of the notable structures of the Hazbin Hotel Cinematic Universe in chronological order/order of conception.

### First Playthrough - "Hazbin Hotel" (9 Apr - 30 Apr 2021)

* Hazbin Hotel
* Whore Central
* Greem's Jungle House
* Pink's Spore House

#### Hazbin Hotel

The titular Hazbin Hotel was a rectangular, penile structure of wood which erected into the sky and plateaued to a platform extending both left and right on the screen. The primary intent of this design was to minimize the threat of nighttime enemies, though this tactic was made obsolete by Terraria's *Journey's End* update. It was also meant to act as a central living environ for every NPC in the game, though this too was superseded by Terraria's gameplay mechanics. To improve the design, Pink employed some renovations to its anterior shaft which was at first just a wooden wall with a rope going to the top, improved with an ornate, stone-laid spiral staircase. Overall, Hazbin Hotel was at best a lukewarm meme and at worst an aesthetic scourge on her neighbor, Whore Central.

#### Whore Central

Whore Central acted as Pink's home and as a communal spawn hub for the Hazbin Hotel world. The building acted as neutral ground between players, where one could publicly bequeath their undesired possessions for someone more needing to inherit.

#### Greem's Jungle House & Pink's Spore House

As a necessary fulfillment of the world's pylon system, Pink built Greem a house in the jungle. The house was really cool, but there aren't any pictures of it. Instead, here is a photo of Pink's Spore House, a house built by Pink on a mushroom biome on an island in the sky.

### Second Playthrough - "Helluva Boss" (6 Aug - 11 Sep 2021)

* Breedable Central
* The Junglathedral
* The Void

#### Breedable Central

The spiritual successor to Whore Central, Breedable Central (or "The Pink House") was built by Pink as the communal spawn hub for the Helluva Boss world. Its overarching design feature was a cascading, layered dome shape with an open-air anterior entrance. It featured a stunted yet formidable appendix on top of its main structure which was intended to be a second attempt at a Hazbin Hotel but was quickly abandoned. Also it was really pink.

#### The Junglathedral

The Junglathedral (English: /d̠ʒəŋglə'θidɻal/) (Spanish: *La Junglatedral* /xungla'tedɾal/) (Portuguese: *A Junglatedral /*ʒungla'tedɾal/) was a gothic castle/cathedral built in the jungle biome of Helluva Boss by Sam (me). Its most prominent features were its violent, crossed gothic spires and organic feng shui. The building contained a sprawling residential interior built inside a surface-level cavern and a nature sanctuary protected by a glass dome and exterior mausoleum. Pink often remarked how disgusted he was by the Junglathedral.

#### The Void

Pink's void was a pitch-black room positioned below a massive, empty chamber for which enemies would spawn and promptly fall into a vat of lava. The Void was built as an area for farming gold and uncommon items and also as an advocative statement for the architectural style of brutalism in dissent towards the prominent architectural influence of gothicism on The Junglathedral.
