Incorrect Helluva Boss Quotes

 (Loona and Blitz going to the crowded mall, but Blitz always has zero patience)

Blitz (Pulls gun out): Okay, just tell me who gets it first.

Loona (Rubs the bridge of her nose): No, we’re not here to kill anyone. Okay?

Blitz (Looks apologetic): Sorry Loonie. It’s a hard habit to break, like stalking an ex-girlfriend.

Loona (Angrily growls): Blitz, shut up.

__________________________________________________________

(Asmodeus and Fizzarolli sitting on the couch together)

Fizzarolli (Sees he has a slew of emails from Mammon and groans): Oh f*ck me!

Asmodeus (Perks up): Was that a request or a complaint?

Fizzarolli (Still irritated): A complaint.

Asmodeus (Curses): Damn it.

Recognition - Mammon x Reader

Summary: The first time the demon brothers see you in human form. Or more specifically, the first time Mammon sees you in human form

Warning: uhm…angst? Idk it’s really bad. LESSON 16 SPOILERS!! OG OBEY ME!!! Mentions of mangled bodies, death, crying you get the jist yeah?

Now Playing:

I Bet on Losing Dogs - Mitski

My Heart is Buried in Venice - Ricky Montgomery

The first time the demon brothers ever saw you in human form was when Belphegor killed you. There was nothing worse than Mammon running downstairs only to see a strange, half-dead human…oh…that’s his human…

He recognized your voice, although it was so hoarse it sounded like you were whispering to him just like you did on weekly movie nights. Cuddled up next to him while you cracked a bad joke in his ear and giggling like it was the funniest thing in the three worlds. Except this time you were crying, and at the same time, telling him that it’s going to be okay.

He often asked you what you looked like as a human. And no matter how many times he asked you always gave a description. Although, he couldn’t believe you failed to describe how beautiful you are, even with your body mangled beyond repair. He didn’t know much about humans, didn’t care for them at all before you, but even he knows that your arms and legs aren’t supposed to bend that way.

He leans down to hear your precious voice, to scoop up your body like the protector he is…the one he was supposed to be. His hands suddenly so shaky as he pulls you close and looks into your eyes. Only thinking about how they look exactly the same as when you were nothing more than a tiny pink sheep.

How cruel the universe is. Or Father. Or whoever runs this stupid concept of fate. They give him the only thing he’s really wanted since the beginning, only to rip it away within seconds. Your last breath, last blink, all in his arms.

Note: So…can we all tell I’m not over Mammon and lesson 16? Or that my self diagnosed crippling depression is back? No? Just me?

(Picture taken from Pinterest, creator unknown)

“Hell-born, Sinners, Ladies, Gentlemen, and whatever the fuck you are!” The crowd went wild, every single seat occupied. The lights came on, the referee advancing to the illuminated area, with the microphone in hand and a brilliant attitude.

“Here in our humble ring, I come to offer you an event that, if I say so myself, will be unforgettable. I have to show you fighters whose origin comes from Pentagram City, to the Ring of Sloth, and a last-minute addition, which I will leave for last as the pièce de resistance” hungry roars filled the place once again.

“The time has come, welcome to another night of blood, sweat and tears, please place your bets and remember that if your player loses, you can throw stones at her. May luck be on your side, and may the strength of her fists make you millionaires”.

“I hear this is your first clandestine fight, Ricky?”

“Yeah, I mean, in Greed, this type of things are very recurrent, never been to one myself till’ now, still, to think this isn’t managed by Mammon is crazy”

“Well, we have our own thing going on ‘ere”

“Seems like that, okay, so we begin with our first couple”

“Wanna know what makes my games unique?” his friend nods, sweating.

"Unlike normal boxing, hitting the back of the head or behind the head; kicking, either stepping on, or biting the opponent; holding, trapping or grabbing the opponent's arms, hips or neck are totally legal" he announced with a wicked smile.

“So, your players…”

“Either one of them surrenders and gets killed by the crowd, or they kill each other”  

You could hear the screams of the crowd through the weak walls of the dressing room, that and how much the demons were beating each other in the ring. They were going very hard at each other, it seemed.

Bloodlust must’ve been the best show this hell-hole could offer, giving that the day before, there was already word around that a fallen angel was going to fight, naturally, sinners lost their minds for that kind of proposal, tickets sold out almost immediately.

“So doll-face, I need to ask ya' a favor” Jambo walked through the doors, dangling his cigarette around in his hand, “I need you to stall the fight, I know it’s a big opponent, but don´t knock him out so quickly, and maybe let him make you bleed a little” he blew a little smoke in your face, a distorted grin adding to his fat face, as he watched your face, no reaction whatsoever.

“A bigshot is here to watch” he smiled in return of your wit, taking a few steps back as he kept gloating about his efforts, but how much does it really takes to properly advertising bloodshed? “Exactly, a true money maker that sick fucker, so the more pain he sees the more he´ll invest, and  you’ll get 20% of what he hands out, plus your wager” you nodded, not really caring how high was your cut, in your current state it was better to have a miserable pay than absolutely nothing.

You’ve spent a few days in intensive training, drawing punches to make it seem like you knew anything at all about boxing, was definitely different than waving your spear and oz around. Truth to be told, elegance and strength didn’t go well until Jambo saw you fight, it resembled a ballet, your body moving gracefully and quickly, while your fists could break the earth in two if you wanted to do so.

He loved that.

You took a deep breath, your fingers anxiously playing with the bandages covering your knuckles, they didn't let you wear the proper gloves, according to Jambo, to ensure the most damage to the recipient, however he agreed to the bandages and pads between the joints of your fingers, keeping thus, a certainty that due to an excess, whether due to adrenaline or the tension of the moment, there would be no easy way for you to break your own fingers.

“It’s time” a demoness broke the silence, you’ve been twenty minutes drifting, instead of warming up, “Thank you, wish me luck” you caught the smug smile she shot while watching you walk out of the room.

The bull-like demon awaited you on the contrary side of the squared circle, your breath caught in your throat, not because one good punch at you from his massive humanity could probably hurt a lot, no, that was a fact, but because you noticed Jambo making signals at you, his eyes looking up, making you search in the raging crowd above you, two demons highly dressed sitting in the golden section, the bigshots, you figured.

After the introductions were adjourned, the bell rang, the demon launched himself at you, fully forward hitting your chest with his elbow. You flew against the ropes, using then to propel yourself, a severe punch to the underside of his chin made him fall back against his back.

Mentally you had counted ten minutes, it was time to put an end to the constant violence, the bull took advantage of the second you took your eyes off of it to spit blood, to grab you by the neck and crash you to the ground, a dull sound accompanied your fall, it echoed through the room, a terrifyingly large crack manifesting beneath your head, shattering the floor of the ring.

Your vision clouded for a few seconds, the demon completely deforming, his figure ended up resembling a corrupted dislike of your brother Michael.

His sharp grin mocked you, “So many years of being the devil's defender. Millennia spent training, watching the world deteriorate, unable to do anything for his creations, simply leading them to their eternal punishment. How does that make you feel, Azrael? Are you letting a godless creature win? Are you really going to abandon everything you've fought for? Yourself, your brothers…” he laughed maniacally, your fists cracked due to your strength.

“Your beloved sinner husband?" he rolled his tongue in a sarcastic way on the word beloved, that is what made you lost it.

The demon saw your black eyes turn into a shiny gold color, the whites going completely black, the darkness taking you down into the deepest of the abyss. Your hands weren’t soft and white but black and sharp, breaking into his muscles, “H-Hey, the fuck are you doing!” the demon let your neck lose, air finally making its way into your lungs, giving you free range to let your voice go free in a guttural way, it made the bull shiver and start praying for his life, desperately pulling on his own skin trapped into your iron grasp.

Saying you saw red was an understatement, with a kick the demon broke free, his blood leaving a trail visible in your distorted vision, for you, he had a smirk and your wings in his hand, waving them in front of you while laughing.

“You…are unworthy of all love” you muttered for yourself, the bull looked around as the crowd demanded you to finish him, then his eyes landed on your darkened face, a cold feeling crawling up his spine. “Death, I beg you, spare my life” he cried, “Pathetic” you uttered, launching yourself at him, full speed, crashing your fist into his skull.

The dust from the already broken floor raised up, covering both of you, “Lay still, don’t move, or you’ll be dead for real” you whispered, canceling the nerves and spine of the demon under your heel.

As soon as the dust cleared everyone’s view, Jambo went ahead, taking the hand of the demon into his hands before cheering into the microphone, “He has no pulse, we have a winner!” he pulled your arm up, clearly happy with the result.

A rose fell on your face out of a sudden. The green stem laced with a black ribbon with three V’s embroidered. You couldn’t care less about it.

After the place was cleared, you found your way into the infirmary. There you found the demon, still froze in your work, which you set him free after a swift move of your fingers. His back rose up violently from the bed, his breathing intense and shaking.

“I am truly sorry” you said as soon as he calmed down a little, seeing that you weren’t angry anymore,  “I…I have seen you before, right? when I was…alive”.

“Most likely” I would be lying if you told him you remembered every single soul you meet.

“You are Death, the exorcists sent their master to kill us now?” it didn't surprised you that humans like him had little grasp in the concept of death, they chose to believe in whatever makes them feel safer, but the truth was only one.

“I don’t cause the termination of a life, your kind, and time, does that, I merely am a collector. And the extermination was an unknown term for me, until a few days ago.” Sighing, he took your hand in his, “Figuring that out, caused my fall” he hummed in response to your words.

“Are you against it?” he asked, in complete disbelief.

“I think it is cruel enough making sinners spend the rest of their afterlife among people even worse, hunting each other, so that, on top of it, the best and most sensible solution that they came up with is even more blood, pain and fear, they treated sinners like a vermin that must be eliminated, that is not correct, that is not how heaven should keep things in control” your eyes glowed almost like in the ring, making the demon shiver.

Nonetheless, he caressed your face with a tenderness, that could be considered holy, “Thank you” he starte, “If you hadn’t, they would’ve...” you nodded, offering him a sweet smile, “You may not believe me, but it is truly the least I could do in such a conundrum, I am…glad I stopped when I did”, he laughed and agreed with you.

⚰️ 📻

“Hey doll, come ‘ere” Jambo called you as soon as he saw you coming out of the infirmary.

As you came closer, you noticed two demons in front of him, the air thickened more and more as you got closer.

“This are Vox and Valentino, our main patrons, Overlords of hell” the fancy suited man nodded, his head was rectangular and resembled a television, how odd. “Charmed” you lied, feeling the icks as the taller demon eyed you up and down with a smile on his face, and red drool coming down his chin.

“My, my, what a ravishing creature you are” he had four limbs, one of them grabbed your hand, harshly pulled you close,  you mad the mistake od flinching at the touch of his golden claws againt the curve of your waist, his smile widening at it.

“How much you want for her?” Valentino asked, not taking his red gaze off of you, “Name your price, shitbag, we don’t have all day” he urged after getting no response.

“She’s one of my best fighters, there’s no way in hell I’m givin’ her away” being under contract with him gave him that upper hand, him thinking he owned your soul.

But how could you? When there was never a soul to begin with?

“Well that can be arranged” the moth pulled a pink gun, and without even blinking, the deafening sound lead to another, Jambo’s body collapsed, lifeless against the floor, “A real fallen Angel video, will make me rich”.

You made no attempt to move, one of his hands was dangerously close to the hem of your scars, if he touched them, you would probably have to clean his rests off the walls.

“No, thank you” the hand in your back crawled its way up to forcefully lift your chin up, “I don’t think you’re in position to refuse us, perra” another word for bitch, is that the best he could do?

After a few seconds of silence, your laughter echoed in the hall, “Go ahead, you two have not a single speck of dirt about me that I care being spread to the masses, not anyone that I care enough that could easily fall into your hands, and there is no amount of torture you can practice on me that will make me change my mind” you hissed at the incremental of his grasp on you, “So, gentleman, what card will you play against me now?” this time It was Valentino's time to laugh.

“You know~, I just remembered I like to play with my toys before sharing" he licked his lips with his long tongue, moaning in anticipation before finishing his sentence, his lips ghosting yours, "Can't wait to destroy you".

“I can already see the title of the film, 'Exorcist, divine punishment' first of two parts" you felt a sting on the back of your neck, then everything began to spin, dizziness took over you, losing strength, visibility,

"You can do better 'Tino" the TV man sassed, taking a strand of your hair into his claws, admiring how soft it was.

“Shut the fuck up Vox, see you on the other side, preciosa” he purred before you lost all senses.

It all fade to black.

★ isadollie's 100 followers event! — matchup for @abbeevee

♡ beelzebub is your match!

here's how i imagine you two together:

★ has no idea about flowers at all, but he doesn't really mind it. unless he could eat them, that is

★ just like you, he loves his siblings dearly, even though it can be a bit too much at times

★ loves to play games along with you and belphie

★ begs for you to bake him something at least 7 times a day

★ once you found him chewing on guitar strings

it's such a comforting song, and beel is such a comforting character, it makes me think they go along well. just one of these calm, peaceful moments (which are oh so rare in the devildom) and this song in the background

you walked carefully into levi's room, carrying a huge plate.

beel was sitting on the floor, his fingers tapping the controller as he played one of leviathan's favourite games.

of course, levi wasn't around, and he had no idea of what's going on in his room. and it's probably better if he doesn't find out.

you smiled, walking closer, waiting for your boyfriend to recognize the smell. and it didn't take him long, cause he soon paused the game and looked your direction. "brownies?" he said excitedly and you nodded.

you sat next to him, offering him the huge plate of sweetness. he threw the controller away, game already forgotten as he focused on eating what you prepared for him.

his other arm wrapped around you, pulling you close as a silent "thank you". not even four minutes later, the plate was already empty.

"did you like it?" you asked gently with a smile, even though you already knew the answer.

"yeah." he said simply, while pulling you closer to his side. "was much better than those little purple flowers you keep in the garden."

your smile suddenly faded. "you ate the flowers i planted?!"

"...they looked edible to me." he said, looking at you with a bit of uncertainty. "wait... they weren't...?"

your second choice? mammon! him being the big brother to a whole lot of siblings and you being in the similar situation made me think of him. but in the end i decided to settle for beel, even though he's almost the youngest!

[fizziefactory]

Profile: ✚ Doctor Fizzy

TW: Stalking, Toxic Relationships, Unhealthy Shit

Model: Doctor Fizzy

Nicknames: “Doctor!Fizzy”, “Doc”, “Nurse” (if you're a good patient)

Pronouns: he/him | it/its | they/them

Height: 4’6”

Can always be found at: The “Fizzy Clinic” located in the Sloth Ring

Vibes: Dentist! — Little Shop of Horrors || This December — Ricky Montgomery || Animal Impulses — IAMX || An Unhealthy Obsession — The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra || Smoke and Mirrors — Jayn

Features

He's got a head lamp sitting at the base of his right horn

Instead of the usual multi-colours of the regular fizzy-bots, Doc's got a colour scheme of baby pink, baby blue, white and black.

Instead of green eyes like all the other fizzie have, its eyes are light blue. They also rarely, if ever, show off its pupils

His cheeks are a little rounder than the rest!

Never stops grinning!

Functions

This fizzy is meant to fill the role of a doctor, GP, surgeon, and also dentist, when those are not available. All this to bring affordable health care to those who won't or cannot pay the full price

The bot can be rented out all across hell though, and do house calls of course

It is not a pediatrician, but hey, when money’s short…

Fun Functions!

× Beeps every time it senses cancer!

× Proficient with various medical and power tools

× Got a medicine cabinet and first aid kit stored away in its chest cavity that can be accessed at any time

× It has a built in thermometer in its fingers, yes it gets weird-

× Not a function but Stop asking if it has a medical license! It's a robot! Of course it doesn't!

Connections

Belphegor: Working in the Sloth Ring under Mammon, the Fizzy Clinic is a part of a collaboration between the 2 sins.

Asmodeus: He designed him.

Mammon: He works for him and is considered his “boss”.

Therapist!Fizzy: They got booted up on the same day, and are stationed at the same clinic. Doc is very fond of Thizzy. Thizzy can't stand him.

Mind

Doc is perhaps the most chipper and high energy fizzy-bot you'll ever meet, even rivalling Loo Loo Fizzy. Because while that bot is just as hyper as Doc, there's nothing beating the good doctor's unwavering Optimism.

He's so happy doing his job… It's thrilling and exciting every day, you never know what's going to happen! What crazy scenarios hell will bring! Who's going to live and who's going to die!!

But the enthusiasm does come with its drawbacks… some consider the bot obnoxious, unsettling, some frustrating, and others straight up scary. For this reason, Doc has a hard time making genuine friends… he's never been the kind to change his behaviour for others, and he'd not know how to pull it off even if he tried… so it leaves him, not unexpectedly, lonely.

If you show an interest in getting to know him, he will C L I N G to you. He'll make you friendship bracelets, call you up during inopportune times like when you're working, or mid-surgery, asking you what's the latest tea whilst patients scream in the background. He'd constantly ask you to hang out, do little outings together, kill a man as a bonding exercise…

Worst case scenario, he'll find your house and watch you sleep. Write little notes to remind you how good of a friend you are. You're not thinking about anybody else are you? He's your best friend in the whole world!! If you try and leave him…

Well, it's funny that you think that's an option.

Reynard’s Tale: A Story Of Love & Mischief HC -  Ben Hatke

Beloved children's author Ben Hatke turns his pen to a very special project for adults: an atmospheric tribute to the medieval folklore tradition of trickster tales, starring Reynard the Fox. Inspired by the twelfth-century tales of the indomitable trickster fox Reynard, this offbeat tribute to the archetypal rogue has a satisfyingly old-fashioned feeling to it. Although this Reynard adventure is entirely the creation of modern fairy-tale master Ben Hatke (Mighty Jack), it fits seamlessly into the body of Reynard tales still beloved in Europe to this day. Featuring charming black-and-white illustrations and a clever narrative, Reynard's Tale follows our hero through a series of encounters with other classic figures from this body of folklore to piece together a headlong journey through a perilous landscape filled with murderers, kings, ex-lovers, mermaids, and even Death herself.

The Seasons Have Teeth #1 (of 4) -  Dan Watters, Sebastian Cabrol & Qistina Khalidah

In a drab, colorless world, the seasons bring change... and also destruction. Andrew, a retired conflict photographer, lives a life steeped in regret after an unthinkable tragedy, but everything shifts when the seasons arrive-each one a personified, god-like creature. As he risks everything to track down Spring, Summer, AutumnFall, and Winter, will capturing the perfect picture of each be enough to find redemption... and ultimately bring color back to his world?

Sengoku Youko GN Vol 1 -  Satoshi Mizukami

The world is divided into two factions: humans and monsters called katawara. Despite being a katawara, Tama loves humans and vows to protect them from evil, even if it means fighting her own kind. Her brother Jinka, however, hates humans, despite mostly being one. The siblings are joined by a cowardly swordsman named Shinsuke, who wants to learn how to become strong. When the group uncovers a plot to experiment on humans and transform them into monsters, they vow to defeat whoever is behind it... Even if it means battling an entire army of warriors. The people they meet, places they see, and creatures they battle will be legendary!

Snow Fairy GN -  Tomo Serizawa

When Hokkaido-born Haruki meets animal photographer Akihito and finds out his accommodations have fallen through, he offers his home as a shelter for the winter. A city slicker, Akihito is smart, charming, and a smooth conversationalist; the polar opposite of country boy Haruki. Despite their differences, Akihito wants to close the gap between the two of them, before the snow thaws in the spring.

There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless... GN Vol 1 -  Teren Mikami & Musshu

Renako Amaori is leaving her awkward and lonely junior high school life behind, determined to become a normal girl with normal friends in high school. Glamorous, confident Mai Ouzuka is Renako's total opposite: wealthy, outgoing, and a literal fashion model. Against the odds, the two girls form an immediate connection. Renako thinks she may have found the best friend of her dreams... until Mai's romantic confession sends her into a tailspin. Renako wants to prove to Mai that being BFFs is better than being girlfriends, but Mai is dead set on convincing Renako that they're destined to be lovers. Let the love games begin!

Vanish Vol 1 TP - Donny Cates & Ryan Stegman 

Oliver Harrison was a mythical hero who slayed the greatest threat to his realm before even hitting puberty. But that was then.

As an adult, Oliver leads an average cookie-cutter suburban life-aside from the fact that he's mentally unstable, massively paranoid, smokes like a chimney, and gets blackout drunk every night to hide from his horrific nightmares. Will the arrival of a superhero team called the Prestige prove the madness isn't all in Oliver's head? And what about all the epic fantasy crap from his childhood? Join us for a brutal as hell tale of magical worlds, gifted youth, evil sorcerers, superheroes, war, blood, guts, and death that punches you right in the face!

WORLDTREE #1 -  James Tynion IV, Fernando Blanco, Jordie Bellaire & David Aja

In 1999, Gabriel and his friends discovered the Undernet, a secret architecture to the Internet. They charted their exploration on a message board called W0RLDTR33.

Then they lost control. Someone broke into W0RLDTR33-someone who welcomed the violent hold the Undernet had on them. At great personal cost, Gabriel and the others thought they sealed the Undernet away for good.

They were wrong. And now they will know the meaning of PH34R.
