Hell in the Buffyverse

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

We know there are multiple hell dimensions in the Buffyverse.

Spike says there are many. We know about Acathla's dimension, Glory's "realm" and of course we know about the Hellmouths in Sunnydale and Cleveland, which open a portal to the various dimensions. Illyira mentions the one with "only shrimp." And we know Lindsey was banished to a suburban Hell dimension.

If you had to come up with an inventive idea for a Hell dimension in the 'verse, what would it look like? Would it be governed by a God? Would time move faster or slower? What would be the climate? And its inhabitants? Get creative!

For me, a hell dimension where everyone talks in the theatre (like Book says in Firefly), would be pretty hellish for me.

The worst hell I could think of in the Buffyverse would be a place where you have to listen to Andrew talk all day every day.

I think fae, fallen angels and other non-demon factions should have been introduced as native to dimensions that were closer to earth than hell. The truly alien stuff is from dimensions closer to hell than Earth.

Actually, I think my hell would be anarchy, no god (or devil) or structure or rules. I can't decide about time: I was going to say slower would be worse, but then one of the things I dislike most in my life is the feeling of not having enough time and feeling rushed. It would definitely have to be hot, because I hate heat! Beyond this, I am thinking most of a Twilight Zone episode, where the man thought he had gone to heaven, because everything was just as he wanted it, nothing but money and women and playing pool all day. Till he got sick of it and wanted to go to the "other place," and was informed that this was the other place!
