- Vaggie told me to protect Baxter, so I will protect Baxter.
- — Niffty to Velvette
MadMaid is the het ship between Baxter and Niffty from the Hazbin Hotel fandom.
Canon[]
Baxter meets Niffty at the start of season two, as he checks into the hotel to do research on redemption. They didn't interact much during "New Pentious," their paths first cross at the front desk as Charlie takes a key Niffty holds up and gives it to Baxter, while Niffty smile and then pushes the luggage cart Charlie has him ride with her. Baxter bumps into Niffty again while Charlie was giving him a quick tour of the hotel. Though Baxter didn't speak to Niffty throughout the "Hazbin Guarantee" song, he kept his eyes on Niffty as she holds a ball of mess and dust, while Charlie leads him away from her. Baxter then expresses a weirded out look on his face, after getting some distance between them. Due to Baxter being a man of science and is the only sinner who chose to stay, while sinners wanting to kill angels left, Niffty asks if Baxter is the new Pentious of the hotel; and Baxter's response to this was "no." From not wanting to be compared with the snake demon.
"Scream Rain" shows that Niffty and Baxter have been getting along and appear to have become friends, with the two sitting next to each other at Husk's bar, play Pattycake in the background and Baxter shown to be interested in Niffty's ability to command bugs. Baxter has already done experiments on bugs he finds in the hotel, so after Vaggie tasked Niffty to watch over the hotel, Baxter and Niffty decide to do more experiments on the bugs. Though it is unclear if the resent bug experiment was Baxter's idea or if Niffty asked him to do it. By the time Vaggie returns to the hotel, Niffty and Baxter were hanging out at the bar, where they show Vaggie Niffty's new bug band. Niffty tells Vaggie that Baxter fixed them and how the fingers and lungs he gave her bugs makes them musical. Baxter gives Niffty a thumbs up and then watches her conduct the bugs to a small abundance, that included him. Because Baxter was focused on Niffty, the two failed to notice Cherri and Husk being suspicious on Angel's absence, and once Niffty ended her little show Baxter applauded her.
In "Weapon of Mass Distraction" Niffty and Baxter are seen close together a lot some examples is when everyone was outside after Vox took the Gate of Heaven off it's Hinges, When Emily said the needed to broadcast a message all over Hell, and at the start of "When I Think About The Future".
In "Curtain Call" Vaggi tell Niffty to "Guard Baxter with your life" and Niffty took that literal fighting Velvette just to protect him harming her in the process but in the end both Niffty and Baxter are safe some moments in the Niffty vs Velvette fight is when Niffty says "Vaggi told me to protect Baxter so I will protect Baxter", when Niffty sees Baxter was about to show broadcast but Velvette stopped him by strapping him to a window she immediately went to fight Velvette without a care in mind hurting Velvette, also when Baxter helps Niffty by making an explosion to render Velvette useless for the time being, and Baxter is seen cheering Niffty on during the fight. And at the end of the episode Niffty hugs Baxter and Baxter smiles showing how Niffty and Baxter's bond as grown sense they met.
Moments[]
- The music number scene of Niffty's song, "Clean It Up" features an anime version of Baxter.
Fanon[]
Along before Baxter made his first official appear in series, that wasn't a cameo, he was commonly shipped with Niffty. Possibly due to their height similarities and possible complimenting personalities, along side Baxter seemingly fitting Niffty's preference for "bad boys". When the second trailer for season two featured brief moments between Niffty and Baxter, it got fans of the ship excited. After shipping them years before the second season aired. Although fans didn't see as much Baxty moments as they originally hoped for in the season, with it mostly focusing on Vox vs the hotel, fans did like the way how Baxter and Nifftys' shared scenes in "Scream Rain" and "Curtain Call" had them getting along, and appear to have become good friends. Giving them hope that their friendship might turn into love in future seasons.
Before it was confirmed that Baxter works for Vox, Baxty fans had suspected this and have supported the idea to add a forbidden romance trope to the ship, with the overlords that Baxter and Niffty work for being enemies. Just as some HuskerDust artworks have the theme of Husk and Angel being kept apart by the overlords holding their chains.
