#not really its just bc of the ask

I'm sorry but what kinda of development did you think she underwent this episode? The whole episode centered around Moxxie. We heard a lot about his feelings and insecurities from his side and he learned to trust in Millie more. He admitted that he was being jealous and improved his plans in the future. The ca. 30 second long real talk from Millie is far from enough development in my opinion. It was all stuff we knew already. "It's nice not being the bad guy", but we've never seen her being treated bad like Blitzo or Moxxie. Hell, I've never seen a negative trait from her at all. Even in her so-called development episode, I felt like she was only a flat supporting character.

We learned nothing about her past, the development is implied, she did not improve but was simply naturally great at all human activities. Sure, she had a nice song, but every episode has a song. Even Striker had a song. I'm not even saying it's a bad episode, it's just far from the "Millie" episode every has been imagining I think.

All in all it was just a cut-and-dry Moxxie getting emasculated + Millie being badass + Blitzo shenanigans episode. It's just like Exes and Oohs. I mean, I wish they'd show her getting hurt or being vulnerable some time to give her some development, but so far she has been a very strong Mary-Sue. Even Loona has suffered more and was better for it. Loona has had far more development in terms of the show and had that beautiful moment with Octavia.

The animation of Helluva Boss is god-tier, but the character development is extremely unbalanced, similar as the pacing and humor.

TLDR: Give Millie some love

Bro....she literally had went off on Moxxie for trying to make himself the center of attention, while also saying that she feels unnoticed and only wanted for her killing abilities. This girl is pouring her heart out and you're just all "Nu-uh. Dat nu count."

This is one of the few eps where Millie isn't being crazy. violent, and murderous. She is just enjoying being loved for everything she does, unlike how her family treats her (Sallie being rude to her and her husband and her parents make it seem like her job isn't a "real job", while also still being pissed that she let her rage get the best of her and not relieved that she's okay). And that still isn't enough.

Tragic (or not) Backstory =/= Development

Did you ever think that her development comes from the present and not so much from her past???

I haven't lived that long yet, but as I've lived, I've collected every nook and cranny, even the things that might have simply passed by, and recorded them in my voice.

sometimes when i like characters thisssss much i like drawing unnecessarily complicated comics of them having a normal ass conversation

[beatcroc]

Hiiii, still coping…Listen to me on this.

Actual superhero Tsuno. Sidekick Wada. Facing off against the Phantom Thief of Nagoya and her pyromaniac gf Watari.

I think it’d be silly and fun and I want to give Okazaki the epic rivalry she wants so desperately.

Also silly bonus but I feel like Kamimura and Hasegawa are absolutely like the two detectives assigned to the phantom thief cases and by god, they’re trying their best.

a rivalry for the ages!

this is SO FUN dude I had a blast thinking of this concept n drawing it..... I may have used a bit too many obnoxious colors but hey we like to have whimsy and joy here

this is so stupid but I giggled like an idiot making it

Am I the only one getting tired of shows and movies just using the name of the main character instead of coming up with something interesting? (“Ahsoka” “Obi-Wan Kenobi” etc.)

Since Ichigo dies at about 15, and Hatake get their marks at like 14? what do her clan markings look like? 👀

OHHH OK THIS IS ACTUALLY A WHOLE THING, SO,

Ichigo got moon stripes !! It's also known as the story teller stripes, and is the traditional tattoos of the Hatake clan's religious leader and story keeper. Which Ichigo does end up in training to become!

There's actually a bit of drama with the fact that Yuki, the current clan shaman, is so old (she's in her 70's, which is basically like being in her 120's for a shinobi), and she's only now picking an apprentice in Ichigo.

Yuki did actually have an apprentice before, who was fully trained and set up to take up the position whenever Yuki died— but they were one of the 5 Hatake to die to illness the winter before the Hatake were summoned to iron court (which is the event that got the ball rolling on the Hatake joining Konoha a year or two later)

Yuki settled on Ichigo being her next apprentice relatively quickly after that, but wouldn't actually tell anyone about it for some more years— stubbornly staying quiet on the topic even when pressed with increasingly stressed and worried questions about it. Ichigo was only about 8 at the time, but Yuki set to training her just a little bit under the table

It was easy enough, when Ichigo was always happy to listen to her stories and gossip about past and present events. Ichigo kind of ended up soaking in a lot of things she'd be expected to learn in the role (religious rights / mythos of spirits and gods / traditions and why they do them / stories passed down through the family / etc.) naturally throughout the years.

Finally, Ichigo turned 14 and lead her first hunt— the marker of a Hatake coming of age. Afterwards, it was Yuki's job to give her the stripes Yuki deemed to 'fit her best,' which is ofc when she gave her the moon stripes and officially announced her plans with a "teehee congrats <3"

It wasn't actually too much of a surprise to those who'd been paying attention to what had been going on, but still caught some off guard. Ichigo had been "training" for like, 6 whole years at that point, without even realizing it. So she was honestly pretty well into her education on the roll, and would probably only need a few more years afterwards to be deemed officially ready to take it on

But then ofc, she dies a year later. And Yuki dies in very quick succession. (Losing her third apprentice, and so old already, had done terrible things to her heart and spirit) And with both of them went a very large portion of the clans history.

Others in the clan, of course, still knew plenty. Yuki's teachings had not been for Ichigo alone, and many had sat by her side and listened to her stories as well. But no single person knew as much as they had or had been in the same position of authority to do things like honoring the spirits of their ancestors or assigning Hatake stripes to their young.

In their deaths, Haruka had to take up many of their duties, mostly by default via being the highest other figure of respect in that regard. But they lost a lot.

There's some sort of interesting point to be made that the Hatake's religious leader wears tattoos that symbolize a red moon. And that Kaguya-hime is among the gods they pay respects to.

I don't really have any real thoughts on it other than going "hmm." and writing that down to reference later, but like !! That's something

anyways Yuki herself is also pretty cute, I find myself enjoying her immensely, so take this art I drew for her the other day that I've been looking for an excuse to post:

Thoughts on Akesumi?

not my cup of tea romantically but i do love their platonic dynamic

[splinterclan]

I can't remember if it was said anywhere but are we ever gonna get the exact reason why Bess isn't willing to join Cedar in the clan (if there's more to it than what she said when they first met about oakclan)? Or if it's not a spoiler territory, what is the reason? 👀

It's mostly just what happened with Oakclan + the fact that she's lived on her own for long enough that she's been able to completely demonize the clans in her own mind. She imagines joining the clan would immediately mean being judged for everything she does, being told what to do at every moment, and losing everything she enjoys about her life.

She hasn't even tried to imagine a scenario where living with them would be good, because she just doesn't want to do it
