#especially helluva boss

[belphiegore]

I’m gonna be totally honest here. I don’t get the hate that Helluva Boss gets. Yes it’s flawed and it has some writing problems and maybe the character design isn’t to your liking, but when has that EVER stopped anyone from enjoying a piece of media?

Anime is very stylized with unrealistic body proportions, and crazy colors and weird character design, think marvel and dc (a mix of well handled and badly handled characters, drama, and topics, plus flamboyant costume designs) literally any popular book series or dating games (difficulty juggling many characters, writing issues, some toxic romances). This stuff isn’t meant to be perfect, it’s meant to be enjoyed. I’d definitely prefer for all creators to put their best effort into works, but that isn’t always gonna happen. So I’ll complain a bit. Some stuff is gonna be a bit flawed, but as long as it’s not promoting crazy stuff then it’s nothing but a minor annoyance for me to occasionally critique. But not something to hate and dunk on over and over and over and over… and over…

And the hate towards the ships… it’s dumb in my opinion. “Stolitz is TOXIC and Fizzmodeus is bad” Okay and? I honestly don’t care that much. At least they’re interesting. It’s not as big of a deal people are making it out to be. It’s not like it’s promoting these kinds of relationships in real life. The only ship I have a problem with is a haggis because it was written blandly and kind of boring. For one, it’s hell and these characters clearly have issues that they are eventually supposed to work through. They’re relationship is gonna be very flawed. In any case, since when has fandom culture cared if a fun little gay ship is a bit toxic? As long as it isn’t abuse or SA. That’s the problem many toxic fictional romances have (especially straight ones), instead of being ~toxic~ with flavor, (something most of of us acknowledge wouldn’t work in the real world) it’s toxic with physical and emotional abuse and SA-type possessiveness. That’s the difference between something like your typical Booktok romance and Stolitz. I thought “we” the fandom liked toxic yaoi? I don’t understand you people, I feel like everyone just likes to jump on the bandwagon of hating Vivziepop stuff instead of just mildly critiquing it.

it was an absolute JOY to illustrate this stolitz wedding kiss for TrebleRose89's fic What Happens In Vegas as part of the Helluva Bang event!

please give it a read to see how the rest of this perfectly imperfect wedding goes, you won't regret it!

and shout out to Berriedtreasur3 for designing the majority of the human disguises for this!

Oh they are so going to have a daughter, I would be so surprised if they don’t have a daughter

[oatmealdoodles]

Just a man and his owl… nothing going on here…

Probably the worst paint.net thing I've ever created but screw it, some of you all are getting way too one-sided between these two following Sinsmas so I just want to post this and dip

Smitten, I believe...

THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE

SISTERS

[ph-cutie]

the contrast between the men and the women regarding the sin roster is destroying me

[elf-kid2]

When Blitz's fame is on the rise, due to the Trial and Televised Near-Execution, and making HISTORY by means of him & his crew surviving after being Sentenced to Death by a Deadly Sin...

Some things are going to come out.

There's going to be gossip. There's going to be news articles, and talk-show discussions. There's going to be various combinations of that in true Media Frenzy form, and they are going to trawl through Hell's Social Media, and find some things out about this guy.

Who is C.E.O Blitzo of the I.M.P (Immediate Murder Professionals)?

He once dated Verosika Mayday. Yes, THE Verosika Mayday Pop-Star & Sex Icon! Rumor has it that he inspired her smash-hit Heartbreak Album, as well...

He's that dude who challenged Queen Bee herself to a drinking contest...

...AND WON!!!

A picture starts to form, of a party-animal, an imp who could drink you under the table, a mad who knows no fear... But wait, have you seen that face somewhere before?!

Shakey cell-phone videos emerge, showing Blitz in a fist-fight with Fizzarolli, over in the Greed Ring. (another famous Ex-lover, perhaps? Or perhaps something to do with his background in the Circus?)

Sharp-eyed Hellish Internet Sleuths also identify Blitzo as the bodyguard seen in the background during Fizzarolli's red-carpet walk at Mammon's Clown Pageant...

Some more exclusive pictures from the Pageant Meet & Greet surface and-- yes indeed, it looks like in addition to owning his own Assassin Company, Blitzo also does some bodyguard work on the side!

(Is it a coincidence that Hell's Most Famous Jester, decided to hire Blitz as his bodyguard for the night of that SPECTACULAR, INFAMOUS SHOW where he gave his "2 Minutes Notice" to King Mammon, Deadly Sin of Greed?)

(Well, folks can only speculate! But it does SEEM like there might be a connection there...)

More photos from the absolutely camera-covered Red Carpet emerge! (Previously, Papparazzi had focused on pictures with a clear view of the actual STARS, and not randos from the entourage, but luckily, some could be salvaged from the cutting-room floor!)

Oh, hey! It seems that Blitz also tied with Striker-- (the assassin Blitz himself hired to kill Prince Stolas... according the Marquis Andrealphus, who demonstrably had a lot to gain from Prince Stolas's downfall) for First Place in the Pain Games at the Harvest Moon Festival!

The first time in the event's history that the Pain Games EVER resulted in a tie! Really makes you think!

Can't forget about the billboards, either! DEFINITELY can't forget the billboards!

Or the TV ads with the catchy jingle!

I'm not sure which direction things are going to go in, Blitz has been up to some INTERESTING things, some of which was documented on camera, and I'm curious about what kind of gossip and press will result from this.

[pipsqueakparker]

i can’t believe it’s november 1st and we still don’t have mastermind

[blitzwhore]

Does anyone else neeeeeeed need need need Stolas to gather Blitz in his arms again in the show, the way he did at the end of Truth Seekers? Like is anyone else going a little bit crazy hoping it'll happen again? But with both of them being aware of their mutual feelings, and allowing themselves to be open with one another? Just me???? 🥺

^^^ THIS happens again in the show but with Stolitz being properly in love, and Vivziepop will hear me scream from across the fucking Atlantic

[flowermist7432]

Vivziepop when people- both fans and critics alike- explain to her that her story, characters, writing, and how she handles extremely sensitive subjects is insensitive and even problematic.

[knightinink]

“There will come a day where I won’t be here anymore, but for now, I’m right here, Oz. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, I promise.”

Ozzie has a nightmare of Fizz dying (& he's even more afraid of it because he knows it's gonna happen one day).

Based on a little headcanon that Oz can change his forms based on emotion, & when he’s extremely scared or sad, he morphs into this tiny flickering flame.

In this form is Asmodeus at his most vulnerable.

[jules-9-7-1]

Weird Alastor & Lucifer coincidence?

Why do BOTH resemble circus tents!?
