( Content Notes: Helluva Boss Richmond 2025 panel controversy, child safety )

I'm having a hard time with this.

I'm in the party where I think people are often wayyy overly critical of these shows and of Vivienne Medrano, while I also disagree with some of her actions and am strongly against some of the scenes and aspects of the shows.

Vivienne claimed on social media sometime after the panel that she's against people bringing children to these panels. But in the footage of the actual panel, when the sexual joke is made in response to the 11-year-old's question, Vivienne is laughing and recording the voice actors' suggestive responses on her phone.

I'm angry at whomever was the guardian of this child who made the decision to bring them to the panel, but I'm also pissed off that supposedly professional adults are conducting themselves like that while answering a child's question.

Children should NOT be at a Helluverse panel, and the creative team is not responsible for babysitting in the event that someone brought their child. But if a child is directly interacting with them like that, it should automatically be the team's responsibility to use their positions as elders to use care and caution. Once the kid is no longer interacting with you, they're no longer your responsibility; it's not that hard.

If a child wandered into an adults-only event seeking help because they were lost or whatever, and directly approached an adult, it wouldn't be right for that adult to just start yelling obscenities at the child, would it?

charlie: how's your day going, alastor?

alastor: this morning, a guest complained to me that her toast wasn't toasted enough. but i didn't kill her. bless her heart.

charlie: (doesn't know that "bless your heart" in the south basically means "you can go straight to hell")

charlie: great!! i'm so proud of you for being so nice!

I think people forget what fandom is for and that makes me so sad.. Trying to prove that you’re “right” for whatever reason. Who gives a fuck. Enjoy your little show or movie. Enjoy your little fictional characters. Love your ships. Hate characters just cause you can. Hate ships just cause can. Theorize all you want. Be as silly as you want. Who CARES. The minute you start policing what you do/say for fear of what other people in a fandom will say, you’ve lost. The minute you go out of your way to attack others just because they don’t agree with you, you’ve lost. Your fandom experience is for YOU, stop giving a fuck about what others think and stop treating fandom spaces as some kind of moral superiority complex. We’re all just here smashing our dolls together and playing in the sandbox. Lighten tf up.

can't decide with chaggie which one of them would be serenading the other with the song "rebel girl" by bikini kill because they both fit the song so well tbh

{ content notes: ships involving alastor }

concept: velvette taking a candid video of vox doing a really stupid dance to some really stupid country music, and she pans over to alastor glaring at him with a really uncomfortable smile on his face, and she captions the video with "when you finally regret falling in love with a white person"

( content notes: sex-favorable alastor, ships involving alastor, jokes about violence/mutilation/gore )

alastor: (squats to pick something up 'cause he doesn't want to mess up his suit)

vox: hey can you do that again but slowly

alastor: (visibly smitten)

alastor: (in his sexiest mae west impression) ...i'll cut off your sack with a butter knife slowly

they would back each other up if someone called one of them a "prude" for having a problem with it. and the people who actually know vaggie and alastor would never ever in a million years call them prudes. omg just let them be friends already

vaggie and alastor would absolutely bond over the fact that they both agree, hell or not, people fucking each other out in public in front of any non-consenting passerby is not normal or acceptable lol

charlie: i think vaggie and alastor are in his room fighting again. i just wish they'd get along already--

charlie: (opens the door to alastor's room and he and vaggie are dancing to the new ariana grande album like they've been friends for centuries)

the "now that you're gone" fan animation. i was like "oh it can't be that fucked up" wellllll

[shootinwebs]

that part of the show "sex education" when lily asks jackson to audition for the play because he's "acting literally all the time" except it's angel saying that to alastor (completely stopping him in his tracks), because it takes one to know one
