Honestly, if anything the shorts proved to me WHY it's a good thing it's not the main focus of the show (I'm not even gonna say "anymore", because technically there was never a point in the show it was the true main focus, because literally every single mission episode was already setting up important plot points).

I mean, this format works great in shorts, because unless I.M.P. is constantly awful at their job and needs a whole 15-20 minutes every time to get one job done, it'd get boring and stale SO FAST. But in the roughly 5 minute shorts format, it's so much more enjoyable, since it doesn't have to drag on and on to fill out the run time.

The reason the mission episodes are as digestable as they are, is because of all the plot elements they incorporate in it. Like, how murder family sets up the deal between Stolas and Blitz, the character dynamics between I.M.P. and their different perspectives on the same mission. How Spring Broken is actually about Blitz's beef with his ex and Loona's crush on Vortex. Even C.H.E.R.U.B. is technically about setting up the cherubs as future villains. And Unhappy Campers is really about how even healthy relationships like Millie and Moxxie's can have hurdles.

What I'm getting at is, even when this show is about missions, it's not really about the missions and the reason those plot beats hit so hard is because it's building up to/paying off things from other episodes. This show has literally never been episodic.

Some imp doodles for some stuff I'm working on, I'm sure you can guess which kind (Lust) Lust imps are also the same thing as succubi/incubi, and while their bodies are very malleable, they have no powers of illusion whatsoever. The people who claim they can take the shape of beautiful people are lying out of their ass. Cherubs are the same imps, mostly of Chastity's influence. They have a tendency to be somewhat possessive and aggressive, and take to causing problems for humans that they want to see paired up

Something in the Helluva Boss fandom that I’ve been finding more and more… silly, is people assuming that D.H.O.R.K.S. are going to be some major threat and in general making a big deal about ‘Humanity finding out about Hell’ ever since Truth Seekers. Because I feel like all those takes are kinda making one BIG assumption:

The assumption that humanity actually stands a chance against the forces of Hell.

I realize much of this is probably due to the last twenty some-odd years of ‘America Humanity, Fuck Yeah!’ stories with humans beating back hordes of demons/aliens/zombies/etc. with grit, moxie and big guns leading some people to assume that the forces of America Humanity MUST be able to pose some major threat to Hell now that they KNOW that Hell exists.

But let’s take a step back and actually consider the track record we’ve seen of the ‘elite’ of humanity against the forces of Hell:

In their first encounter with the forces of Hell, D.H.O.R.K.S. had an entire facility SLAUGHTERED by three imps and a hellhound.

Then in their second appearance, with over a year of preparation and research and the full support and funding of the American government (they weren’t even hiding that one XD) to create THE most advanced and capable anti-demon weaponry human science can devise, which also ended up being wielded by actual ANGELS, just how well did this might of humanity perform?

It got trashed by TWO imps and a hellhound.

Seriously, outside of the one time when they got briefly blindsided by a redneck family thanks to like some inexperience and Moxxie fucking up, I.M.P. have been utterly wasting any humans in their way.

And let’s not forget that the ‘imps and a hellhound’ bit. Sure, Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie have shown themselves to be fairly capable fighters by Hell’s standards, but they aren’t exactly truly exceptional standouts. Plus they’re still, you know, imps. They’re kind of the definition of an ‘everyman’ in Hell.

And ‘the most bleeding edge military advancements’, wielded by angels might you, couldn’t even beat that.

So yeah, I’d say that even if they don’t realize it yet, humanity in the Hellaverse is massively, terrifyingly, HILARIOUSLY outmatched against the forces of Hell.

As in, if the D.H.O.R.K.S. ever manage to get that portal of theirs big enough to send an actual army into Hell, then I think it’s safe to assume that army is going to immediately fucking DIE. Like they portal into Wrath and just get casually ripped to pieces by Millie’s family and their farmhands.  

And that’s if they get lucky and don’t manage to annoy any Goetia or one of the Sins.

All in all, I’m pretty confident that D.H.O.R.K.S. plus the cherubs are going to remain firmly in the position of ‘comic-relief villains’. With any actual threat they bring to our heroes being some indirect result of their actions, rather than anything D.H.O.R.K.S. actually does. Such as the fallout of their shenanigans getting I.M.P. in trouble with the higher-up of Hell. Or the messes they’ve caused being used as ammo by Stella and Andrealphus to smear and discredit Stolas.

And personally, I just think that’s more fun and fitting, you know?

Like after a couple decades of those aforementioned ‘America Humanity, Fuck Yeah!’ stories, I think it’s rather refreshing that in a show set in Hell all about demons, we’d see that trope flipped back to humanity not actually standing a fucking chance whatsoever against the denizens of hell.

Marius calls Armand 'cherub' (as a vocative) like two times in the entire book but it's my go-to pet name anyway. It's just so gentle. Cherub~

[flower-boi16]

Who else doesn't give a fuck about the Cherubs or Dhorks? Seriously they are so forgettable as antagonists I barely find them as rometly anything resembling a major threat.

Well...I tried something new...

Another pack of adopts, but this time none of them has his own story. It`s just a bunnch of maidens. And yet, there is new features...

All of them are diffrent demon species! And there is no goetia!..But why is there a cherub-cat?..

Alright we have Deity Bill (@fazfuri) and Cherub Mabel (@dookiespooky), so here’s Imp Dipper :3

I’d say Imp Dipper and Cherub Mabel are probably not related (idk though) but they’d see eachother as siblings and Bill would be their muse dad. Dipper feels self-conscious about being an imp because demons are very frowned upon but Mabel would always tell him that his features are pretty.

Dipper will usually be in his special void sleeping because he doesn’t like interacting with anyone else than Mabel or Bill. But he’ll sometimes be dragged out of his void to do whatever and he tries to be kind and polite to others but is still shunned from society because he’s not “special” like Mabel and Bill.
