Why y'all hating on amir? He didn't do anything bad, he just voices a bad character.
Chaggie this. Radiostatic that. Huskerdust, Radiodust, Radioapple, Adamsapple. No, actually you’re all wrong. The best ship of the show is Niffty x Knife. Knifftey. They took down Adam together like a true couple.
Also: Adam died for this ship. Angel is scared of the power of this ship. And Charlie supports it.

They were Depression Friends
They are Loser Lovers
Headcanon: Husk and Angel knew each other as kids.
Let me explain. Husk died in the 1970s when he was in his 60s. Angel went in the 40s when he was in his thirties. SO. They were both born circa 1910. I will fight you on this, they knew each other.
Angel Dust: *looking around for triplets*
Angel Dust: *looks over at bar and notices no one is there*
Angel Dust: *walks over behind bar*
Husk: *curled up under bar with kittens sleeping against him*
Husk: *sees Angel* Hey…
Angel Dust: What’s going on here?
Husk: Well it was nap time and I didn’t want to take them all the way upstairs. So I made myself comfy
Angel Dust: *leans in there more* Is Fat Nuggets in there too?
Fat Nuggets: *sleeping beside Husk*
Husk: He’s keeping me warm while I keep them warm *looks down at Noir, Vegas, and Star sleeping*
Angel Dust: *smiles mischievously as he pulls out phone*
Husk: Ang-
*click*
Angel Dust: And this is my new Lock Screen image.
Husk: Goddamnit…
Sounds like a classic case of stockholm syndrome
I mean... their answer was correct

After a lot of research and apple juice, I can (almost) sanely conclude:
My work is finished here.
I wanted to do some studying on spiders, and more specifically: jumping spiders, because Angel Dust is a jumping spider. For my fic writing, I wanted to learn more about the species.
It should have been obvious to me that he was a jumping spider based on his jumping skills we saw in Season 1, Episode 8, but I had to look it up to find out.
My point is, while I was investigating the wonders of these tiny crotch-spawns, I found out that some of them actually chirp.
Chirping for a spider is the equivalent of a cat purring. Spiders usually do it when they’re mating but they also do it when they’ve gotten comfortable around the environment they are currently in.
One problem during my studying however, is that the only spiders that really do chirp are wolf spiders…until I continued my journey.
There are MANY different kinds of jumping spiders that I do not care to name honestly, but I found out that some of them do in fact chirp!
I don’t know what kind of jumping spider Angel is, when I looked it up it wasn’t specific but just IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES OF THIS INFORMATION!
Also, more information I found on my journey is that because they have such great jumping abilities they are also called “leaping tigers”! How funny is that! 😄
How far I had to fucking dig to get this information. I guess people don’t really care that much about jumping spiders 😭
Another thing jumping spiders tend to do is singing. Again, only when finding a mate, more likely to happen than a chirp.
I like to imagine Angel’s voice is like a siren. It attracts folks but the only difference is that they’re entranced by the beauty of it and not just some sort of forced spell for fresh meat.
One last thing: Jumping spiders experience REM sleep. REM sleep is characterized by relaxed muscles, quick eye movement, irregular breathing, elevated heart rate, and increased brain activity. It causes them to dream a lot! This also means that Angel would probably be wiggling, shimmying, curling, and uncurling his limbs in his sleep. He'd probably be a nightmare to sleep with lmao. It basically just means Angel's a vivid dreamer.
I just thought these were nice facts about Angel's kind. Especially considering all spiders are different, I wonder if we'll ever get to meet different kinds of spiders, or if Angel's siblings, Molly and Arackniss are the same kind of spider as Angel.
Learning all about the behavior of cats and jumping spiders has been my favorite thing to do ever since I started hyper-fixating on HuskerDust. It makes their relationship all the more interesting :)
I will be one of those 3

A "husk" means a shell or a protective outer cover. This fits his character well since he's shown to be a husk of a man. More specifically, he's a former overlord who lost his power.
Husk in the "Pilot" was a lot more grumpy than he is in the show proper, losing his temper at Alastor and not hesitating to show his disinterest in anything going on as long as it doesn't concern him. When he sees just who has yanked him away from his card game, all he can do is exasperatedly ask Alastor what he wants with him this time. Seeing as Alastor is a constant reminder of how his gambling ended up costing him his status as an Overlord, it's easy to understand why he'd be upset at having to bend to the Radio Demon's will.
In the series, it's established he's still a jerk, but it's evident he cares, and his temper isn't as volatile and often warranted. In the beginning, Husk made it no secret that he was forced to stay at the hotel because of his ties to Alastor and would gladly get as far away as he could if able to. Behind his grumpy exterior, Husk is actually very patient and it takes a lot to make him legitimately angry.
He does his job as a bartender competently, but Husk is fairly blunt about the fact he's only participating in the group's shenanigans because he simply can't be bothered to protest. He does join bonding activities but departs once it's no longer enjoyable for him, after Vaggie decided to literally throw everyone into the middle of a turf war as part of her trust exercises. Thankfully, he grows out of this a bit as the series goes on and grows to care about the staff and guests.
Husk has his own issues and is pretty much apathetic to almost everything out of pessimism. But he still has the most common sense out of the cast and he's the most emotionally intelligent and self-aware, even serving as an advisor to the others at the right times when he's not bitterly accepting his circumstances. The hotel's owner is the only cheerful idealist demon princess who just wants to see the good in everyone, one investor is a maniac who wants to get entertainment out of watching the chaos, the other investor is the owner's neglectful, depressed father (and also the literal King of Hell), the manager is bossy and threatens people with weapons at the slightest provocation, and the cleaning lady is a murderous psycho. Then there's Husk wanting nothing to do with their escapades. He's also a lot more hostile towards Alastor and Angel after they touch him multiple times.
It should be noted that Alastor lets Husk get away with flipping him off. But the moment Husk brings up the fact that Alastor's own soul belongs to someone else within earshot of the Radio Demon, Alastor can barely restrain himself to threatening to tear Husk's soul apart and broadcast his screams for all to hear if he ever says that again. By the end of the encounter, Husk is a shivering, terrified wreck and Alastor couldn't care less.
As the bartender, Husk knows how to listen to people and knows exactly what kind of problems that all the residents of the hotel are going through, and while he would rather let them solve their own problems, he isn't exactly above giving them some pretty solid, if very brutally honest. While it was unnecessarily rude to bring up the Hotel residents' flaws, Husk was accurate about every one of them as Charlie's desperate to help others but doesn't confront her own issues, Vaggie judges others because she hates herself, Sir Pentious is a lonely Sinner who watches people in their sleep, and Angel puts on an act that he's happy about his porn star job but is really miserable.
Husk was always cynical and crass, but he's also an old Sinner with a tender heart. With Angel however, he tends to be a lot more irritable. While it initially looks to be because of Angel constantly flirting with him, it's because he hates how hard Angel acts out to hide how miserable he actually is, considering him a "phony" in a self-destructive spiral. He eventually realizes he and Angel are the same, despite their differences. They're both self-destructive addicts since Husk is a gambling addict, while Angel is addicted to sex and drugs who sold their souls to an abusive Overlord. And both of them have descended even further into their addiction and adopted outwardly cynical, cruel personas as a coping mechanism.
Husk getting through to Angel Dust in the manner he does makes a considerable amount of sense when it's taken into account that the first step to overcoming drug addiction is usually getting the addict to acknowledge they even have a problem. Angel hasn't been able to get better despite having some genuine interest because he's been utterly refusing to admit he has a problem to fix, the moment he does his mood drastically improves as does his motivation.
In "Welcome To Heaven", Husk saw Cherri as a bad influence on Angel's path of redemption and advised her not to get high during their night out. He even defends Angel from Cherri's criticism about how the hotel was changing him. Of course Husk wants what's best for Angel, but unlike Cherri who thinks that feeding into Angel's addictive tendencies are the best way to treat his depression and that living up to the hotel's standards is only making his life more difficult, Husk encourages Angel to stick with the self-improvement he's learned from the hotel and not fall back into his old ways since Angel's trying to get into Heaven.
When Vaggie leaves to find out how angels can be killed, she tells Angel, Sir Pentious, Husk and Niffty that she knows they didn't sign up to be the first targets of the angels, so she wouldn't blame them if they left. Of course, when she and Charlie return, they find that all of them have stayed and fortified the hotel.
Husk even admitted that he doesn't want to look for new drinking buddies and being nice to both Angel and Pentious is a demonstration of the massive character development he's undergone over the course of the show. In the beginning, he was grouchy towards everyone and hated even being in the hotel, but now he's willing to risk his life to defend it and the other residents.
Keith, He/Him, Gay-Cis. Huskerdust mainly but also other hellaverse stuff sometimes.
