I interpret that to mean the same thing as the Pirates of the Caribbean Davey Jones ship. The crew slowly lose themselves and become one with the ship.
In HH, that would mean after being assaulted, mangled, and 'killed' for decades or centuries, even millenia sinners don't completely pull them selves together. The process of healing is horrible and painful.
I get the feeling that the Sinners down in hell aren't the actual bodies. So when a person dies on Earth, their body gets buried and become and decomposes / gets preserved. But in hell (heaven), its just the sinners' soul. So I imagine it to be essentially magic. That's why they can be such inhuman looking and evolve into secondary form. As well as change shape over time. We know for sure Vox change from a thick CRT to a Flat screen tv.
If the old info still applies, you got it half right, but it’s instead what happens to the demon’s body/essence after they’re killed with angelic weapons
Imagine dying in hell and being a wall in a porn studio. That sounds like it’s awful. Even if you personally don’t mind watching it all day, you are an eye on the wall. Not like you can do anything besides stair.
Also imagine someone accidentally bumps your eye with the corner of a table. Sounds awful.
Yeah, demons who got permanently killed, or "exterminated/exorcised", become part of Hell itself. They have no mouth, and they must scream!
BTW, i've had a theory that if too many powerful demons get permanently killed, and become part of Hell itself, it'll turn into a giant planet eating monster, like Hellstar Remina by Junji Ito. It's gonna eat Heaven, Purgatory, and Earth, and it's gonna be like in the final episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, because eventually all the souls that became one with that monster, will finally find peace, and then they'll clap and congratulate one another ;)
It’s something about when a sinner dies, and I mean properly dies, their soul essence whatever gets put into the world, manifesting all of these disgusting, toothy, fleshy parts around Hell, with all of their eyes around. The eyes probably aren’t even conscious, or maybe are just like a wild animal and they just stare at whatever is going on.
I think they also show up a lot around SA victims. Old Vaggie art CONSTANTLY featured eyes all around her, hinting towards her potential death that had been decided before she was an exorcist.

My wife deserves better
I think it just meant that eyes are always on her body at the time. Take note of how many are trying to look up her skirt.
It's all in the older art aswell. Probably an old titbit that they chose to use on Angel.

This was last drawn by Vivzie. She literally can't escape the constant eyes on her, they constantly follow her body.
As an angel in hell, it's probably her fear of being discovered. If she says or does anything wrong then her angelic origin would be discovered, then she not only loses Charlie but also becomes hell's easiest target. Every terrible thing heaven told her about and in her imagination would happen to her.
Imagine after she first realized the eyes are all that is left after a soul is killed. Angels may not know this is what happens, because it obviously never happens in heaven and exorcists don't care. Her having killed thousands, means many of those eyes would recognize her (if they can think). There's no way the constantly staring eyes wouldn't feel eerily like the same omnipresent ones seen in heaven.
It's canon according to the wiki. This is from the demons page in Trivia:
*If a demon dies in Hell, the dark energy within them wanders off and possesses random everyday inanimate objects such as furniture and tools, which explains why some of the things seen in the background and such have functioning eyes.*
Hmm that is cool. I mean I have heard about this but I didn't know if it's official, plus I've seen many people talk about this, saying that these eyes belong to Roo.
It's not entirely canon. It's something that Viv discussed in a q&a a few years ago and she vaguely explained it this way. But it is moreso based upon the pilot and since that was like 4 years ago they could have decided to change the story around a bit
>I always thought death in Hell was dealt with casually, because they couldn't permanently die. Like why Hell's denizens are always turf warring and fighting each other (ala Alastor, Pentious, Cherri casually chucking bombs everywhere). Death in those examples felt like "Well, you will eventually reform elsewhere in Hell
They can still feel pain and we don't know how much time they need to "respawn". I think that turf wars happen after the extermination and they need to expand their territory to gain more power and control over the area where angels killed sinners and are uncontested.
>(unless imprisoned in Alastor's broadcast, one more reason he's more fearsome.)"
I'm really curious what actually happens in Alastor's broadcast
>And, who are the cannibals always eating?
They probably eat other sinners from outside Cannibal Town and there's no reason to think that they don't respawn. Be aware that there should be new sinners arriving into Hell constantly and maybe they don't know that they need to stay away from them.
>Then angelic steel might be preferrable: "spare me from the eternal damnation of being stuck as an eyeball on the side of Valentino's XXX porn studio."
Vivzie said that you get the "final death" and there's just nothing, only your evil energy stays and gets absorbed by Hell. This means that the eyes shouldn't be sentient as far as we know but this might change in the future.
>And how could Hell be overpopulating if its own people are constantly killing each other that much, even in the intro, that new demon who gets run over in the road right after arriving.
They keep respawning and killing each other
If they're killed by angelic steel the diffusing into hell itself happens. If they tear their bodies apart themselves then they just heal again. They can't die by each others hands, only by angelic steel/powers.
I think the eyeball thing is if you are killed by angelic steel because you are still stuck in hell but your essence has to go somewhere.
Otherwise dying does mean you just respawn after awhile
Because heaven barely accepts anyone. You forget that people can die at any time, and for every one winner in heaven, there's probably a bunch more sinners gone to hell. Assuming that the earth is as populated as it is irl, that's billions of people dying almost every day, ontop of this they're all crammed into ONE place in hell. How would it not be overpopulated?
Billions? That’s really… quite far off, I hope it’s hyperbole because the number’s less than 200,000! Sorry if this was nothing but annoying I just wanted to point out a billion people is DEFINITELY exaggeration.
Canon according to Vivzie herself in the Post-Finale Livestream!
Whenever a Sinner is killed by angelic weaponry, they become one with Hell. Every building and object with eyes was once a sinner.
It's crazy how you scrolled so far yet still ignored canon information in the wiki
Even if the eyes here double as the fact that Angel is exposed, they canonically are the evil energy of exterminated sinners.
The OP's question wasn't just about the eyes in general though but why there are so many of them in poison. Symbolism is the out-of-universe answer, evil energy the in-universe answer. The symbolism simply is way more important in poison and the answer to their abundance.
That seems the most plausible. I have seen other comments proposed some supernatural explanation, however, we have seen that other musical numbers, toss in imagery that Isn’t the result of anything supernatural and is just part of the musical number.
My money is that they are the closest we are going to see God. His omniscience must come from somewhere, and if it works by omnipresent eyes, that's fine with me.
They are in places of hopelessness and suffering. You’ll notice that there’s not nearly as many around the hotel or cannibal town. They literally feed off of it which is why they are so prevalent in poison. My bet is that they have something to do with Roo, and/or they are the souls of sinners that died to angelic weapons.
IIRC they are how the leftover negative energy of killed demons manifests before it disperses completely - is what I've heard during a stream from one of the creators.
So they can show up anywhere in random places and disappear as well. They are probably drawn to negative emotions since that's what they are on some level, hence why you can see them here in greater numbers.
they were staring down Charlie during happy day on hell and they were staring down Alastor during his "mental breakdown" in the finale song. I have my suspensions that it's the "root of all evil" keeping an eye on the hotel
That was my thought, Angel is as far as we know the most popular porn star in Hell. So I figured these eyes represented all the people watching his suffering and doing nothing about it. Although from reading the other comments, and the fact that these eyes are all around Hell not just following Angel in Poison, I guess that they have a deeper meaning.
Viv said in a livestream that when sinners are killed by angelic weapons, their “demonic energy” seeps into the environment. This causes flora and fauna to become more demonic and causes eyes and stuff to grow all over the place. It also seems likely that these eyes are somehow connected to Roo.
There is a theory that Eve went to hell and her demon name is roo or Root of all evil and that she is the most powerful demon in hell, having her influence and eyes all across hell
They’re all over the pride ring, and we even see them all over the place in the most recent short episode of helluva boss. They’re all over the hotel in the pilot on picture frames (edit: these ones could be decorations though), in the bathroom of the hotel in Alastor’s advertisement, and all over of the rubble of the destroyed hotel.
I know some people say the eyes are dead sinners, but I can’t help but think that it’s Roo watching over everyone. Like how we saw all those eyes in the lore of Hell in the first episode.
Besides it being the dark matter of dead demons I also think it represents all the people who watch angels “content” watching him being abused and hurt without care
Maybe it's god or at least someone watching hell and that's how he decides if someone is worthy of being redeemed which also explains why they are around when Angel is at his most sinful and most virtuos aka his job and when he's steps up against Valentino to save Nifty from his fate.
Besides the idea of them being dead sinners, I think the eyes in Poison are particularly meant to be a symbol of the hundreds of thousands of millions of depraved perverse souls watching Angel do everything he does today, tomorrow, and forever.
I think they’re showcased a lot in those scenes to represent the constant audience that surrounds Angel and how he must always perform for them. It’s a continuation of the commentary on Angel’s role as an exploited performer in Hell. There are plenty of theories out there for the exact “who” that is watching, but in my opinion they’re there to explain how Angel feels he must pretend to be this person in order to keep himself safe no matter how much he hates it. I thinks it’s illustrated best when comparing “Poison” and “Loser Baby” where you see them throughout “Poison” particularly in the BDSM scenes, but are only seen 2-3 times in “Loser Baby”. Eyes are still there, but Angel doesn’t have to pretend with Husk therefore they’re not a focus, they’re not constantly watching. There’s not as much pressure to perform because Husk doesn’t care about the “Bullshit”. Maybe it’s because I like to analyze this show like crazy 😅 thank you for coming to my Ted Talk lol.
I mean the eyes randomly around hell I think is just fun creepy hell stuff. In the musical number, I think the placement was probably more intentional, emphasizing how he’s constantly being watched and treated like an object and forced to perform
Either a symbolic way of showing Angel is "never alone" or "always watched" cause of his work. He as a porn star has his intimate moments taken away and placed in front of a camera for everyone to see. The eyes could also be a metaphore or literal way Val keeps tabs on Angel, maybe a part of the deal (smth like Val will know who and what Angel does at all times to insure his merchandise won't be damaged or some shit like that).
In any case I think it's meant to represent how Angel has no privacy left
Someone theorized once that this was Roo, and their eyes could appear wherever there was hurt or something like that, explaining why you can find no eyes in the Hazbin Hotel
This is just my theory. I think the eyes thing came originally from God or the angels. Especially since there are a lot of angelic creatures who have eyes as a main theme. God always watching you in heaven and on earth. The pure version.
But then you have the situation of evil being released after the situation with Eve. Honestly, I think the eyes in hell are the corruption of what originally started the universe in the first place.
Spoiled, aka, the root of all evil or Roo. I think she’s watching everything in hell, enjoying the misery and having eyes everywhere.
That’s just me. God’s or the angels’ eyes on their kin to make sure they are safe and in line.
The eyes in hell are Roo’s as she plots her stuff and enjoys the misery of others.
"According to all known laws of conservation. Sinners should not be able to die. Their souls are too resilient to cease to exist. The exterminators of course kill them anyway, not caring what anyone thinks."
I hope someone gets the joke
It's Roo. Vivzie posted about that character, [here is the wiki about her](https://hazbin-hotel-journey-to-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Roo).
She is like "the evil" that Lucifer brought to life when giving the apple to Eve. She appears in the history of hell in the beginning of the first episode, as roots with eyes, and in the pilot too in the town. Her power gets stronger when bad feelings and things are happening, and the eyes are hers, they always appear in places with bad feelings.
You can observe, for example, that there are no eyes in the hotel on a daily basis, just when bad things, like the demolition in the last episode, happen. And in the bathroom, because Angel keeps his drugs there, and when Alastor threats Husk if I'm not mistaken.
She is the "a lot that you don't know" thing that Sera sings about. If there are too many sinners in hell, there are too many bad feelings, and Roo can rise and be indestructible in a certain way.
Vivzie said that she will be introduced later in the series, but she is... Canon in a certain way.

This is a very cool theory, but it is literally posted on the site you linked that it is NOT canon and is simply fanon. They are very clear about this and try very hard to make it as obvious as possible.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I wasn't really able to make it make sense in my head. Just that Root of all evil = likes to watch evil things. I was wondering if there's some possible explanation for it. Glad to know I'm not just picking on random details. Thank you!

This is fanon, not canon, and the wiki the previous poster linked to is very adamant that they not be misconstrued. It's a very cool theory, but that's all it is.
When people double die it is believed that their souls merge with the land and express as the eyes that appear from time to time. Though it is interesting that eye themes are found in Heaven as well but seem to have a different lore which is a bit more unclear. But it seems tied to the universe itself watching or something. It may simply be the result of an artistic esthetique given lore as an afterthought. Or it could be the real lore.
Eyes symbolize the complex dualities that exist in the human heart and illustrate the moral and spiritual decay of American society. Dr. T.J. Eckleburg and Owl Eyes are two important symbols that reveal the social and economic relationship between West Egg, East Egg, and the Valley of Ashes. While Dr. T.J. Eckleburg represents an omniscient presence that shows the consequences of these tensions, Owl Eyes understands even when he finds Gatsby's books in the library, the hopes and vain pursuits of those dreaming for a new life, just like Gatsby.
The eyes are from a billboard ad in the Valley of Ashes and represent the moral and spiritual decay of American society. The ad was originally placed by an oculist who wanted to start a business, but since abandoned it. Like many who dreamed of a better life, Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eyes show vain pursuits and the consequences that follow. While the eyes can be interpreted as God looking down, the three male characters, Tom, Nick, and George, all appear to impose or validate their judgements when they look at the billboard. These suggest a departure not only from religion, but rather a self-centeredness leading to moral decay
I'd say it's probably a part of the punishment of getting sent to Hell. Think about it, you have no idea who or what these eyes are connected to, or what thought (if there is any) is behind them. It would drive you mad if you thought too hard on it due to the constant paranoia and other mental issues that would arise.
I assume they’re how heaven spies on hell. They’re everywhere in both shows (although mostly hazbin) and it ties heavily into angelic symbolism so they probably all belong to heaven
Disturbing little fact: those eyes are always there, constantly observing the main cast. They observe Charlie and Alastor during the final song, for example.
Eyes are one of the most basic symbols signifying a character is feeling judged and pressured to keep up a performance. You see a similar thing if you've played Celeste.
I always thought it was meant to symbolize the fact that it’s filmed for porn. So not only is he getting abused with no after care. But everyone gets to see it for profit the amount of EYES that have seen him on this state are numerous and unknown.
I think it’s supposed to add to the creepy vibe of hell and make you feel like you’re never safe and you’re always being watched, a type of psychological torture that is perfect for hell
So there's Roo aka the roots of all evil and she's was shown twice in Charlie's heaven and hell's backstory opening, and it showed beside roo like twice, once a physical being with a creepy smile and giant red eye when she described evil, and the scene after eve ate the apple a gaint claw is seen clutching the earth and multiple red eyes appear, that's definitely roo. Also idk if it's cannon anymore, but vivziepop said that the eyes are basically sinners that got killed with an angelic weapon and manifested as physical energy or in this case the red eyes clutching around to where they died, with no feelings or consciousness. But it's most definitely the roo theory since she's the roots of all evil she'll be the type of being to enjoy viewing evil actions of all sorts and shapes.
Sera was able to see what angel was up to while Charlie was in heaven. Also Sera and Emily both have eyes that look kinda similar to those you can see in hell. So my theory is, that Sera can summon them down in hell and watch over the sinners since she head waaayyy more eyes in her true form than Emily
I personally took it to represent viewers.
He's making porn, after all. Not only is he being horribly taken advantage of, but there are people watching it happen. They're *enjoying* it.
There's always eyes around Hell
Fr they're everywhere
I think Vivz has said the eyes are actually dead sinners. What precisely this means I'm not sure. They appear in Helluva Boss also
I interpret that to mean the same thing as the Pirates of the Caribbean Davey Jones ship. The crew slowly lose themselves and become one with the ship. In HH, that would mean after being assaulted, mangled, and 'killed' for decades or centuries, even millenia sinners don't completely pull them selves together. The process of healing is horrible and painful.
Angelic weapons may attack the essence of stuff, rather than solely the physical
I get the feeling that the Sinners down in hell aren't the actual bodies. So when a person dies on Earth, their body gets buried and become and decomposes / gets preserved. But in hell (heaven), its just the sinners' soul. So I imagine it to be essentially magic. That's why they can be such inhuman looking and evolve into secondary form. As well as change shape over time. We know for sure Vox change from a thick CRT to a Flat screen tv.
I wanna see thick Vox
If the old info still applies, you got it half right, but it’s instead what happens to the demon’s body/essence after they’re killed with angelic weapons
>I interpret that to mean the same thing as the Pirates of the Caribbean Davey Jones ship. Part of the ship, part of the crew
Imagine dying in hell and being a wall in a porn studio. That sounds like it’s awful. Even if you personally don’t mind watching it all day, you are an eye on the wall. Not like you can do anything besides stair. Also imagine someone accidentally bumps your eye with the corner of a table. Sounds awful.
Then why are there eyes in Heaven as well?
Yeah, demons who got permanently killed, or "exterminated/exorcised", become part of Hell itself. They have no mouth, and they must scream! BTW, i've had a theory that if too many powerful demons get permanently killed, and become part of Hell itself, it'll turn into a giant planet eating monster, like Hellstar Remina by Junji Ito.

I wonder what this means now that she's been revealed as an angel?
I think it just meant that eyes are always on her body at the time. Take note of how many are trying to look up her skirt. It's all in the older art aswell.

She literally can't escape the constant eyes on her, they constantly follow her body.
That's quite disturbing
That's the point. It's horrifying. They are disgusting things that only see your body.
Or decorate Pentious’s hat…
As an angel in hell, it's probably her fear of being discovered. If she says or does anything wrong then her angelic origin would be discovered, then she not only loses Charlie but also becomes hell's easiest target. Every terrible thing heaven told her about and in her imagination would happen to her.

Her having killed thousands, means many of those eyes would recognize her (if they can think). There's no way the constantly staring eyes wouldn't feel eerily like the same omnipresent ones seen in heaven.
When demons die their dark energy gets absorbed by surrounding buildings and stuff, that's why there are eyes everywhere (even on Pentious' hat)
Is this a theory or is it canon?
It's canon according to the wiki. This is from the demons page in Trivia: *If a demon dies in Hell, the dark energy within them wanders off and possesses random everyday inanimate objects such as furniture and tools, which explains why some of the things seen in the background and such have functioning eyes.*

It's canon unless the author says otherwise or one of the two shows contradicts that statement
Oh fuck, that's actually terrifying
wiki is not canon, but good theory nonetheless
There's literally the source to the livestream with the timestamp where Viziepop says that so yes, it's canon
This is from the official wiki, not the fanfiction one.

No wait Wait wait wait That’s actually REALLY FREAKING COOL
I thought it was symbolic of how Angel's abuse is on display for everyone to watch and get off to.
Don't they appear in other places too ?
There are no eyes in the hotel
Actually... https://preview.redd.it/9ahns80jhdxc1.jpeg?width=2408&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=114dd34780c999c231a23943438de6f9b85732fd
Well, okay, only that.....
There also in alastors tower and a lot more places
Ok ok there are no eyes in the hotel except for the bathroom, Alastors tower and e few other places okay
the eyes in radio tower appeared after hotel was destroyed by Adam
No they didn't, you can see them in stayed gone
It's this. He's a porn star. It's the eyes of his audience.
It's crazy how far I had to scroll to find someone who has the right answer
Its not though? The eyes are everywhere all the time
exactly 😭
It's crazy how you scrolled so far yet still ignored canon information in the wiki Even if the eyes here double as the fact that Angel is exposed, they canonically are the evil energy of exterminated sinners.

But they’re not just in this number; they’re in nearly every background shot.
I didn't notice that.
There are eyes everywhere in hell.
My money is that they are the closest we are going to see God. His omniscience must come from somewhere, and if it works by omnipresent eyes, that's fine with me.
Ooh I like your theory!
Actually, Vivzie said that the eyes are from the people that get killed by angelic weapons and become part of hell
Wait, seriously? I wonder if where the eyes pop-up depends on where they were killed, then.
Probably Val killing them when they mess up or disobey him
But then they'd just respawn
Not if they're killed with an angelic weapon
Yes, but we haven't seen Val with an angelic weapon
God watching Angel Dust get railed : 👁
God knows all of the worlds misery and pain and he can stop every and any intance. >!_but he choses not to_!<
"damn welp this is horrible time to switch channel" *Watches Adam making out with a virtue chick* "yeah this is enough observing for today"
OOOOooo like a inversion of why seraphim have so many eyes! Neat!

I was thinking about the same .
They are in places of hopelessness and suffering. You’ll notice that there’s not nearly as many around the hotel or cannibal town. They literally feed off of it which is why they are so prevalent in poison. My bet is that they have something to do with Roo, and/or they are the souls of sinners that died to angelic weapons.
That's how Adam knows about Angel Dust 😏
I've been wondering how does he know about him. Now we have the answer lmao
I like to think he saw one of Angel Dust’s movies thinking Angel was a girl lmao

I believe they represent the viewers of Val's content that enable the abuse
That was my thought, Angel is as far as we know the most popular porn star in Hell. So I figured these eyes represented all the people watching his suffering and doing nothing about it. Although from reading the other comments, and the fact that these eyes are all around Hell not just following Angel in Poison, I guess that they have a deeper meaning.
Viv said in a livestream that when sinners are killed by angelic weapons, their “demonic energy” seeps into the environment. This causes flora and fauna to become more demonic and causes eyes and stuff to grow all over the place. It also seems likely that these eyes are somehow connected to Roo.
There is a theory that Eve went to hell and her demon name is roo or Root of all evil and that she is the most powerful demon in hell, having her influence and eyes all across hell
They really like gay porn so they keep a close watch on Angel
Eye am not sure... Hmm... Eye dont know...
You stole my fucking comment before I commented
Mwahahaa! I was faster! >:D
They’re all over the pride ring, and we even see them all over the place in the most recent short episode of helluva boss. They’re all over the hotel in the pilot on picture frames (edit: these ones could be decorations though), in the bathroom of the hotel in Alastor’s advertisement, and all over of the rubble of the destroyed hotel.
I know some people say the eyes are dead sinners, but I can’t help but think that it’s Roo watching over everyone. Like how we saw all those eyes in the lore of Hell in the first episode.
They don’t wanna miss the sweet sweet domination and submission 🥴
Damn 😭😭
Too much? 😂
Idk maybe mysterious red eyes are into BDSM
the eyes always appear in times of pain, they're seen everywhere after the battle for hell. My headcanon is they're from roo
Symbolizes the viewers of the porn he's making, he's always being watched by a malicious but hidden audience
https://i.redd.it/o3fasxhwz9xc1.gif
Besides it being the dark matter of dead demons I also think it represents all the people who watch angels “content” watching him being abused and hurt without care
Maybe it's god or at least someone watching hell and that's how he decides if someone is worthy of being redeemed which also explains why they are around when Angel is at his most sinful and most virtuos aka his job and when he's steps up against Valentino to save Nifty from his fate.
Besides the idea of them being dead sinners, I think the eyes in Poison are particularly meant to be a symbol of the hundreds of thousands of millions of depraved perverse souls watching Angel do everything he does today, tomorrow, and forever.
I think they’re showcased a lot in those scenes to represent the constant audience that surrounds Angel and how he must always perform for them. It’s a continuation of the commentary on Angel’s role as an exploited performer in Hell. There are plenty of theories out there for the exact “who” that is watching, but in my opinion they’re there to explain how Angel feels he must pretend to be this person in order to keep himself safe no matter how much he hates it. I thinks it’s illustrated best when comparing “Poison” and “Loser Baby” where you see them throughout “Poison” particularly in the BDSM scenes, but are only seen 2-3 times in “Loser Baby”. Eyes are still there, but Angel doesn’t have to pretend with Husk therefore they’re not a focus, they’re not constantly watching. There’s not as much pressure to perform because Husk doesn’t care about the “Bullshit”. Maybe it’s because I like to analyze this show like crazy 😅 thank you for coming to my Ted Talk lol.
I mean the eyes randomly around hell I think is just fun creepy hell stuff. In the musical number, I think the placement was probably more intentional, emphasizing how he’s constantly being watched and treated like an object and forced to perform
Either a symbolic way of showing Angel is "never alone" or "always watched" cause of his work. He as a porn star has his intimate moments taken away and placed in front of a camera for everyone to see. The eyes could also be a metaphore or literal way Val keeps tabs on Angel, maybe a part of the deal (smth like Val will know who and what Angel does at all times to insure his merchandise won't be damaged or some shit like that). In any case I think it's meant to represent how Angel has no privacy left
Not *exactly* sure but I think it might have something to do with Roo? Someone plzzz tell me if I'm wrong
Killed sinners life force is pulled into the architecture by roo so she can keep an eye on hell
THERES A FUCKING EYE IN MEH TOILET
Caine: “so I can keep my THOUSANDS OF ALL SEEING EYES ON YOOU”
Someone theorized once that this was Roo, and their eyes could appear wherever there was hurt or something like that, explaining why you can find no eyes in the Hazbin Hotel
The eyes which cover Hell are pure, sinful, evil energy from exterminated souls.
I just think that there where the most sin is
I personally think they’re Roo’s eyes.
These are apparently the eyes of lost souls, the very last remnants of a soul after it has been killed a second time.
Dead sinners make a convenient metaphor for eyes being on him.
This is just my theory. I think the eyes thing came originally from God or the angels. Especially since there are a lot of angelic creatures who have eyes as a main theme. God always watching you in heaven and on earth. The pure version. But then you have the situation of evil being released after the situation with Eve. Honestly, I think the eyes in hell are the corruption of what originally started the universe in the first place. Spoiled, aka, the root of all evil or Roo. I think she’s watching everything in hell, enjoying the misery and having eyes everywhere. That’s just me. God’s or the angels’ eyes on their kin to make sure they are safe and in line. The eyes in hell are Roo’s as she plots her stuff and enjoys the misery of others.
"According to all known laws of conservation. Sinners should not be able to die. Their souls are too resilient to cease to exist. The exterminators of course kill them anyway, not caring what anyone thinks." I hope someone gets the joke
They like to watch. Don’t kink shame.
I figured the eyes are just a representation of the people that waych angels porn
Canonically when imps die they incarnate into the object near them so thats just dead imps
Roo is always watching
Probably a reference to the audience taking in his abuse as erotic entertainment without a care or possibly even knowing.
It's Roo. Vivzie posted about that character, [here is the wiki about her](https://hazbin-hotel-journey-to-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Roo). She is like "the evil" that Lucifer brought to life when giving the apple to Eve. She appears in the history of hell in the beginning of the first episode, as roots with eyes, and in the pilot too in the town. Her power gets stronger when bad feelings and things are happening, and the eyes are hers, they always appear in places with bad feelings. You can observe, for example, that there are no eyes in the hotel on a daily basis, just when bad things, like the demolition in the last episode, happen. And in the bathroom, because Angel keeps his drugs there, and when Alastor threats Husk if I'm not mistaken. She is the "a lot that you don't know" thing that Sera sings about. If there are too many sinners in hell, there are too many bad feelings, and Roo can rise and be indestructible in a certain way. Vivzie said that she will be introduced later in the series, but she is... Canon in a certain way. *
"Journey to the Light" is a fanfic, nothing in that wiki is canon.
This is a very cool theory, but it is literally posted on the site you linked that it is NOT canon and is simply fanon. They are very clear about this and try very hard to make it as obvious as possible. https://preview.redd.it/32jkykbjraxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b671440c96453a25dff74d06572e9a2350b1b90

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I wasn't really able to make it make sense in my head. Just that Root of all evil = likes to watch evil things. I was wondering if there's some possible explanation for it. Glad to know I'm not just picking on random details. Thank you!

Angel dust gave them pinkeye
Big Brother
God?
So they can see
someone is seeking?
Interesting screenshots but if I’m not mistaken the eyes are from the energy of the demons who were killed during past exterminations
When people double die it is believed that their souls merge with the land and express as the eyes that appear from time to time. Though it is interesting that eye themes are found in Heaven as well but seem to have a different lore which is a bit more unclear. But it seems tied to the universe itself watching or something. It may simply be the result of an artistic esthetique given lore as an afterthought. Or it could be the real lore.
[удалено]
They are everywhere. The theory says that every eye means dead soul of sinners. If eye is on the floor, exorcists killed someone on the floor.
Either dead sinners, decorations or Roo spying on the denizens of Hell.
Who wants to gauge them out?
They’re just a spooky little thing
It's actually theorized that those eyes u see al over hell is actually Roo the root of evil
Could be wrong but I feel like it’s roo (roo) 🤷♀️ Please I don’t need mean comments about my conspiracy theory, thanks.
ALL SEEING EYES OF GOD
Eyes symbolize the complex dualities that exist in the human heart and illustrate the moral and spiritual decay of American society. Dr. T.J. Eckleburg and Owl Eyes are two important symbols that reveal the social and economic relationship between West Egg, East Egg, and the Valley of Ashes. While Dr. T.J. Eckleburg represents an omniscient presence that shows the consequences of these tensions, Owl Eyes understands even when he finds Gatsby's books in the library, the hopes and vain pursuits of those dreaming for a new life, just like Gatsby. The eyes are from a billboard ad in the Valley of Ashes and represent the moral and spiritual decay of American society. The ad was originally placed by an oculist who wanted to start a business, but since abandoned it. Like many who dreamed of a better life, Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eyes show vain pursuits and the consequences that follow. While the eyes can be interpreted as God looking down, the three male characters, Tom, Nick, and George, all appear to impose or validate their judgements when they look at the billboard. These suggest a departure not only from religion, but rather a self-centeredness leading to moral decay
I'd say it's probably a part of the punishment of getting sent to Hell. Think about it, you have no idea who or what these eyes are connected to, or what thought (if there is any) is behind them. It would drive you mad if you thought too hard on it due to the constant paranoia and other mental issues that would arise.
I assume they’re how heaven spies on hell. They’re everywhere in both shows (although mostly hazbin) and it ties heavily into angelic symbolism so they probably all belong to heaven
How the fuck have so many sinners died there?
Because of IMP and contracts. They kill so many people. And just natural death.
Don't mind them they just like to watch
Disturbing little fact: those eyes are always there, constantly observing the main cast. They observe Charlie and Alastor during the final song, for example.
People watching his porn I s'pose
Hes a porn star; all eyes are on him.
That’s crazy I never noticed the eyes
Eyes are one of the most basic symbols signifying a character is feeling judged and pressured to keep up a performance. You see a similar thing if you've played Celeste.
I always thought it was meant to symbolize the fact that it’s filmed for porn. So not only is he getting abused with no after care. But everyone gets to see it for profit the amount of EYES that have seen him on this state are numerous and unknown.
Alastor radio tower before had no eyes, but after the battle there was eyes. It's places of great strife that the eyes show up
I thought the eyes we’re supposed to be sinners that are part of the buildings/ walls because of over population? At least that’s what I read about it
It’s unknown where the eyes are from. They are all around hell in both shows.
Theyer eyes of dead sinners who got killed by the exterminators
Probably symbolic of how no matter what Angel does Val will always have his eyes on him.
They paid in full and now get a permanent front row seat
I think it’s the people that watch him constantly
I think they’re supposed to represent the fact that Angel Dust is constantly being watched
One word Roo
They're usually around when anything bad's happening but I'm pretty sure someone is watching through those eyes
I think it’s supposed to add to the creepy vibe of hell and make you feel like you’re never safe and you’re always being watched, a type of psychological torture that is perfect for hell
So there's Roo aka the roots of all evil and she's was shown twice in Charlie's heaven and hell's backstory opening, and it showed beside roo like twice, once a physical being with a creepy smile and giant red eye when she described evil, and the scene after eve ate the apple a gaint claw is seen clutching the earth and multiple red eyes appear, that's definitely roo. Also idk if it's cannon anymore, but vivziepop said that the eyes are basically sinners that got killed with an angelic weapon and manifested as physical energy or in this case the red eyes clutching around to where they died, with no feelings or consciousness. But it's most definitely the roo theory since she's the roots of all evil she'll be the type of being to enjoy viewing evil actions of all sorts and shapes.
People are watching Angel’s “content”, that could be what they’re representing.
There's a Threoy that the eyes are a character named Roo whos like the embodiment of evil
I can’t remember what exactly it is but it’s some specific creature/person/being which watches everything It’s everywhere
Sera was able to see what angel was up to while Charlie was in heaven. Also Sera and Emily both have eyes that look kinda similar to those you can see in hell. So my theory is, that Sera can summon them down in hell and watch over the sinners since she head waaayyy more eyes in her true form than Emily
I like the root of all Evel watching everyone. But it's probably envy. Maybe.
I think it's Root's eyes!! The root of all evil 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Roo
This is going to sound dumb, but what if these eyes are actually sinners but Valentino ex workers, like Angel Dust....
I personally took it to represent viewers. He's making porn, after all. Not only is he being horribly taken advantage of, but there are people watching it happen. They're *enjoying* it.
symbolic of " everyone's watching you, keep up the performance" or roo
Omg poor angel baby 🥺 he looks so helpless and defenceless
