#Helluvs Boss

[chaifootsteps]

The Fizz and Oz stuff was sweet and all, but I couldn’t help but get red flag vibes at the “never letting you outside again” line. I get that Oz was obviously scared and worried, but Fizz is a grown man. It shouldn’t be a matter of “letting” him do anything, regardless of whether or not he’s a sugar baby. I do wonder if that’s gonna lead to conflict, like Oz being controlling for the sake of being protective, but I certainly hope these two can make it work with how much they care about each other

Seeing as how they're sloppily retconning/gaslighting the audience in the hopes of removing the conflict and complexity from Stolas, I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell of this being explored with Fizz and Ozzie.

It's eyebrow raising and there was definitely an infantilizing edge to their relationship that wasn't there in "Ozzie's," but I think it'll be alright. Ozzie doesn't say anything about not letting, just that he's never going outside without protection again, Fizz jokes not to worry because he now hates going outside, Ozzie says he won't have to. They seem like they've got a little bit of a Daddy/babyboy thing going on but when they're discussing Fizz going out alone and actually talking seriously about it, Ozzie never phrases it like it's his decision.

It's entirely possible this show will prove me wrong and then I'll have to lay face down on the floor for a little while because I love this ship, but for now I think it's okay.

Ok, but can we talk for a minute about how well they explained Moxxie and Blitzo's friendship in, what, two minutes?

That short flashback scene is crucial to understand why, despite all their bickering and fighting and Blitzo's emotional issues and complete disregard of boundaries, Moxxie doesn't give up on him.

Because Blitzo, in barely a few minutes, showed him more kindness than anyone had ever done since his mother.

Moxxie's life had just been shattered. Torn apart. He got his heart broken and his ass in jail. The person he trusted and loved more than anyone completely disregarded his safety for money.

Once again, he is all by himself against the world. Just like when Crimson killed his mother.

And then, this absolute weirdo just shows up and starts talking to him like they've been pals for years.

He introduces himself, talks a mile per minute, says a bunch of nonsense I still don't quite understand, mentions his daughter and how expensive his babysitter's gonna get... But most importantly, he has an escape plan and he's already included Moxxie in it.

Maybe it's for convenience. Maybe Blitzo would've done the exact same thing no matter who he got saddled up with. But the important thing is that, for all his flaws and issues, Blitzo can't bring himself to be truly manipulative and calculating, at least not if he senses the person he's trying to con is as vulnerable, if not more, as he is.

Let's draw a parallel between Chaz and Stolas, shall we?

Yes, Blitzo tried to murder or at least incapacitate Stolas. Yes, his only goal was the grimoire. But the moment Stolas revealed just how lonely he was and how much sleeping with his first friend meant to him, Blitzo couldn't bring himself to hurt him. And what did he do instead?

He gave our Owl boy the best night of his life.

With Chaz?

Yes, he was mostly kinky and curious about M&M's sex life, but he could tell the guy was a douchebag. So the moment they were done, he went behind his back to figure what was really going on there.

But with Moxxie?

Blitzo was genuine since the very beginning. Again, probably the first genuine person Moxxie's met since his mother, and he knows it.

This face?

This is the face of someone who's thinking, "Finally, a friend."

So Mammon was really hot right?

A moment of silence for when I used to see this scene out of context (like, a lot of NO context, I barely knew anything about Helluva Boss back then) and used to think "Aw, they're going on a date, they must be an adorable couple!"

Because boy... literally NOTHING could've prepared me for the context behind (and beyond) this scene...

Millie Redesign! (1/4)

The Helluva Boss redesigns begin!

I wanted to start off with Millie to get a better feel of how I think imps should look and get down a baseline of wrath imps before I try working on any others since a lot of them look kind of the same? Idk I wouldn’t be able to tell Millie’s from wrath if there wasn’t a whole episode about it.

Oh I also wanted to make her actually look a bit more mature since I thought she was 20 years old tops but idk maybe she is! I personally just think shes like late 20’s early 30’s but up to future me. Here’s my notes that I planned out before starting actually:

Notes for millie design

- More confident/casual pose

- Weapon the doubles as farming equipment

- Give her a more rugged feel

- I need to feel like she could kill me with her gaze

- Big weapon maybe? Who doesn’t like oversized stuff

- Give her some scars, maybe a chipped or glued horn

- I know theyre cliche but.. overalls

- I wanna know shes from wrath I need to FEEL the texas

- Plus size but more built for strength and all that

- Maybe a cute matching bandana with her sister?

- Maybe make her tail a bit more pokey?

As you can see a few of these got lost in the process but I think she still looks really cute! Her redesign was actually really quick and only took me a little under 2 hours. Hopefully the rest of them will be this easy so I don’t have to look at another 19 hours of Vivziepop designs…

I haven’t entirely figured out Millie’s character yet but she’s likely going to stay more or less the same, just more fleshed out and not just Moxxie’s wife. She’s still the main fighter of the group since Moxxie is more sniping and medicine with how im working on him, but I think she takes a bit of an interest in Moxxie’s talents and vice versa. I still think Millie’s go to medical treatment is “rub some spit in it” and thats basically it/hj and last little tidbit, I based her a bit around places I visited as a child that were very southern to me. Also wanted her to look like she eats pancakes for breakfast 🥞!

This sounds so much like goodbye. And not just break up goodbye, but worse. I'm not going to put my exact thoughts into words, lest I speak it into existence. Aah, I hope I'm just overthinking it again. Blitzo! 😭

[lanveril]

Don’t forgive me.

I've heard the Alastor and Lilith theory, and it's.. ok, I suppose. But i give you this theory instead! What if: Lucifer and Alastor used to be best friends, but they went their separate ways because Al said he disliked ducks and Lucifer just. went on a RAGE. That's why he's been missing for a few years-because you can BET the king of hell has nothing better to do than chase down the monster who said something against his obsession. Al is currently using Charlie to protect him (basically hiding behind her) from her father. Thoughts?

Another full moon edit cause this song is them

Striker: I learned some very valuable lessons from this.

Blitz: I'm guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should've taken away.

Striker: Death isn't real, and I'm basically God.

You know how i cope with the fact that Helluva Boss is "wasted potential: the show"? By gaslighting myself into tinking thats not an actual cartoon, but a fanfic of one better adult cartoon from another universe:

In some other paralel universe, there is an aclaimed adult Cartoon that aired in adult swim from the early 2000's, called "Helluva Job", wich follows the wacky adventures or 4 demons, all very different in personalities and have a hard time working together, triying to get out of their miserable life as the lowest class of demons in hell by working on killing humans in exchange of money from those who commision them those murders.

Every episode its about them trying to get their new target, a premise thats kinda repetitive but the show manages to make it fresh avaery episode with its creativity.

It had a wacky absurd humor that doesnt take itself seriously, sometimes based on very silly and cartoony things happening to the protagonists, it also had a very, VERY dark humor that would make kinda fucked out jokes about taboo themes (kinda like drawn together), wich made many people belive that the show "didnt age well" despite still being hilarous. It also had some sexual humor, but it was very limited and always with clever jokes that arent just the characters screaming the names of genitals.

Robo-Fizz, The Cherubs and Verosika are some of the recurring villains that where remembered for having neat designs very charismatic personalities. Even the people that never saw the show know them and loves them.

The show was also know for having a lot of criticism of capitalism and rich people hidden behind clever dark humor, that didnt distract from the sillines of its show.

Stolas is just a recurring joke of "that one creepy old man Blitzo sleep with because he is rich and has to do it to keep his job", he never gets more than 4 minutes on screen and its always him being an steriotypical rich asshole who abuses his power and makes gross comments to Blitzo (and he is very classist and racist). Stella is just the woman thats married to him and she tries to be a decent wife, but she is clearly annoyed with him and clearly she just waiting for him to ask divorce.

Stolas also dies in the finale of the show when a metor falls over him, Blitzo celebrates this in the most childish and exagerated (but also extremely funny) way possible.

The art style was like a combination between Clone High and Dexter's laboratory, with the use of exagerated shapes to form its cgaracters. And the animation was just decent, but its praised over the character designs, wich are simple yet efective and creative

The show got 2 seasons and those were enough, it was remembered as one of the darkerst yet funniest cartoons that ever aired on adult swim, and how people still rewatching it years later.

Meanwhile, Vivziepop is some popular artist in the fandom of that show thats know because, for some reason, she got obsessed with Stolas fucking Blitzo, and she insist that their relationship is the most beautiful thing ever, and hates Stella for some headcanons she created about her.

She wrote the know fanfic "Helluva Boss" wich is basically her mischaracterising every character into becoming this really boring, flavourless version of themselves and get reducted to one aspect of their personality. And her trying to gaslight us into thinking that Blitzo and Stola's relationship was some misunderstood tragic wholesome romance, because "Stolas actually loved him!". Almost everyone in the fandom makes fun of this fanfic.

Extremely valid, Anon. To get by in this bitch of a world, sometimes you've just got to gaslight yourself a little.

[angelshizuka]

I'm honestly glad they changed Just Look My Way to be only about Stolas' relationship with Blitzø.

Anyone who knows me knows I literally live for parent and child relationships (as someone with her own mommy and daddy issues), but I just don't think this is the right place for it.

Especially with the section that was originally about his broken home being such a huge and important part of Stolas' development of how he sees Blitzø now and is learning to understand him, even if he doesn't know WHY Blitzø is like this.

Stolas' relationship to Ocatavia has it's place and it's had it's focus in the show, but with this song leading up to whatever's about to go down in The Full Moon episode, yeah, I will die on the hill ALL focus of this song had to be on Stolitz.

I'd also argue Stolas' relationship to Octavia is pretty stable right now, not perfect, but they're working on it. Compared to his relationship with Blitzø which has been falling apart since Ozzie's and needs all the focus they can get to try and build it up again (or it will fall apart even more, but I prefer to be delusion...)

At the end of the day it was a fan song made more than 2 years ago when Stolas' character was at an earlier stage of his arc, so it only made sense for lyrics to be changed.
