He’s got another thing coming if he thinks he’s going to feast on me… 🎶

A little radioapple face-off for the #eldritchextravaganza event over on Bluesky

A shadow is cast wherever he stands, stacks of green paper in his red right hand 🎶

My second attempt at digital drawing on my phone - slowly, slowly, slooooowly improving! 😅

I can’t resist a quiz it seems…

Sarcastic, capable and a little unhinged. I see nothing wrong with this!

Finally decided to try a digital art platform and I’m excited!

This is just a quick sketch experiment on my phone using my finger - so it’s very basic, a bit wonky etc but… I’m happy with this first attempt!

(Loosely inspired by ch 10 of my AO3 fic One More Bite 📻 🍎 )

I’m back….

Chapter 26 of One More Bite is up. 📻 🍎

Alastor and Lucifer meet the second group of intruders. It doesn’t go as well as expected, for either of them… but the eventual outcome is a definite improvement (reminder this is an E rating)

I couldn’t resist… 💚

I love our flag means death so fucking much because they were like “here are two guys. They’re in love. One of them is a dilf who kills a man because he hurt his boyfriend and then immediately slams said boyfriend into the wall to make out with him. The other is a babygirl who wears a cat collar and builds blanket forts and asks his boyfriend to practice his ‘captain voice’ on him. Now guess which fucking one is which.”

reflection

[the-artless-dodger]

the Helluva Boss Mission shorts, all coming out between Apology Tour and Ghostfuckers, serve multiple purposes. Obviously they bring much needed levity back to the show during a very emotionally heavy story arc, allowing the audience and the characters time to breathe. They also bring I.M.P.'s daily life back on screen, allowing the creators and audience to experience a little bit of that original concept of the show that the creators pivoted away from to follow the more plot and character heavy story they settled on. AND they give us a sense of time passing as we see Blitz go through the aftermath of The Breakup.

All of these are things I've seen other people talk about.

What I want to talk about is the fourth thing:

All three Mission Shorts are a reflection of how Blitz used to see Stolas.

An aggressive dangerous group of birds who say derogatory things to him and WILL kill him if he's not good enough at sex.

An obsessed fan who is impervious to all harm, talks down to him, uses pet names for him, fetishizes him, and only cares about the FANTASY of Blitz while not listening to or caring about him as a person at all.

Being trapped and treated like a source of entertainment, treated like less than a person, commodified for being violent by a duplicitous man surrounded by small horned pets who he infantilizes but who can be reasoned with.

All three of these shorts are throwing Blitz's own baggage around Stolas back into his face in weird subtle ways, and Blitz has to grapple with the fact that none of these ACTUALLY feel like Stolas to him. For as much as Stolas contributed to the situation they're now in, so did Blitz. Because Blitz has been reading him wrong this whole time.
