Good day/evening Star,
First of all I want to let you know that I really love your fanfics and always enjoy reading them! Your writing is impeccable!!
My obsession the Helluva Boss is slowly creeping back in and I was wondering if you mayhaps would want to write a poly Asmodeus x Fizz x male!reader fic/hc?
I was thinking that the reader is a Succubis who got sucked into a polyamorous relationship with the two sillies. Like maybe they performed a song at Ozzie’s and the two were so fascinated at the readers skill that they invited him in for more performances. One thing led to another and suddenly we got a polycule (that’s the term right???)
Just very wholesome and cute vibes pretty please :>
That’s it with my brain rot heheh
I hope you’re doing all good and thank you for blessing my feed with your page!
Yours truly
Nae nae alligator 🐊

Ah, yes. Mornings. You either love them or you hate them. Mostly because Fizz is obsessed with using and airhorn to wake you two up. But sometimes things would be different. Like today, when you're sandwiched in between them. You loved moments like this since they didn't come very often. With your busy work schedules and everything. The feeling of Oz's skin on yours as Fizz snuggles his face into your shoulder was unbeatable.
There were other moments as well. Like when Fizz and you would sneak off to Earth with your crystal. The two of you just go exploring what Earth has to offer. Or spa days with them. When Oz would get a day off, you guys would have a spa day. Just pamper and relax, maybe watch a few movies for something.
Fizz and Oz are big on stay-in dates. Mostly because of the 'keeping it a secret' part, but I digress. Movie nights, home-cooked meals, fashion shows, cuddle sessions. Those were the hightlight of your week. You never really knew what a healthy relationship looked like until you met them. And you were ever so grateful that they were so accepting. You also thought being a succubus was a bad thing, but working at Ozzie's showed you differently. All the staff there were so friendly and welcoming. It also led to your relationship, so hey, you couldn't complain.

In my opinion, Loona is a character with some of the most wasted potential in Helluva Boss.
Tumblr media
Though we don't have a ton of information about her background, we do know she lived in a shelter for much (or maybe even all) of her childhood. Loona is cold and distant to her adoptive father, and outright rude to many others, particularly Moxxie, who she constantly mocks and belittles. I'm thinking that this behavior is either a result of her upbringing, or perhaps it was even the reason she was put into the shelter to begin with. But until more is revealed about her past, I want to complain about the way she's currently written.
Loona is abusive, plain and simple. The way she treats Blitz, her adoptive father, goes way past simple angsty teenage rebellion and well into the abuse territory. Any semblance of Loona being remotely sympathetic was thrown out the window in Seeing Stars, when she kicks Blitz in the groin, all because he was relieved to see her and wanted to give her a hug. And all of that after she gives Octavia the "cut your dad some slack" speech.
Tumblr media
I've seen people try and defend this behavior by pointing out that Loona has childhood trauma, and this is why she has these behavioral issues. It's certainly not unheard of for victims of childhood abuse/neglect to have anger issues and poor emotional regulation, and I would have absolutely no problem with this being the case if it was shown to actually be a problem, but it isn't. Not once does Loona get called out for her behavior or face any sort of consequence for treating others poorly. If anything, this abusive behavior is treated as a joke more often than not.
Tumblr media
It's extremely ironic that one of the most despised characters in Helluva Boss, Stella, receives so much hate for being abusive towards Stolas, when we've seen Loona do far worse to Blitz. I honestly cannot think of a logical reason as to why we're supposed to like Loona, while also hating Stella. We see Stella nearly hit Stolas and it's (rightfully) treated as being abusive. But when Loona is constantly beating up her dad for no good reason, we're just supposed to laugh? It seems extremely hypocritical on both the writers' part, as well as many of the fans'. I honestly can't tell if the writers genuinely think this behavior is okay (when it's coming from Loona) or if they just see it as a quirky character trait of hers.
If we're supposed to find Loona likeable, which we clearly are, then the writers seriously need to start making some changes. I'm not saying they should just completely retcon Loona's character and suddenly make her nice, but they do need to start being consistant with how they portray abuse, and they seriously need to stop excusing and coddling her horrible behavior, regardless of if she has childhood trauma. That is not how you grow as a person and overcome your issues. Yes, it's a process that is often long and difficult, but it hasn't been shown that Loona is actually trying to make any change at all, or that anyone is actually encouraging her to change.
Tumblr media
If you want an actually halfway decent example of a character overcoming their trauma (at least within the Hellaverse) look no further than Blitz himself. It's clear his father was abusive and explotative towards him, not to mention he accidentally caused the death of his mother and the maiming of his close friend. Both of these things likely contributed to many of Blitz's flaws and issues as an adult. But the thing is, despite all that, Blitz himself isn't abusive to his daughter. He has shown nothing but unconditional love and devotion to his daughter despite his past. I'm not saying Blitz is a perfect character by any means (I won't excuse him literally threatening to rape his employees), but it really goes to show this whole argument of 'Loona acts the way she does because she has childhood trauma and that makes it okay' doesn't hold up to scrutiny as much as her stans seem to think.
I think a good idea would be to start showing more of how Loona's behavior negatively affects those around her, something which would give her the motivation to want to change. Show how hurt Blitz feels whenever Loona lashes out at him. We get a taste of this in Spring Broken when she hurts Blitz's feelings, but it's clear from both her dialogue in the scene as well as her later actions that the writers apparently don't want her to actually learn from her mistakes and grow as a character, which is such a shame.
Tumblr media
Loona had the opportunity to be an extremely complex and compelling character if her aggression and violent outbursts were actually addressed as being a problem she needed to overcome, and if she actually tried changing herself for the better. Seeing the effort she puts into treating others better and breaking the cycle of abuse would have made her character feel so much stronger and more likeable. But instead, the show just treats this abusive behavior as a quirky, edgy joke and "lol that's just classic Loona!! What can ya do lol!!!"
She does have her moments where a good character actually shines through, but they're so few and far in between. I want to like Loona so much, but as it currently stands, I just can't, and that makes me sad.

Vaggie and Valentino are connected and no one has been talking about it (I think 😭)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brutha. I've always known this but like these two are surface level similar yet so SO SO SOOOO different its terrifying.
Question might be, why tf am I comparing the r*pist and the beautiful, gorgeous, fantastic, inspiring, humble, generous, smeggsy, former angel?
Simply because they are both moth demon's that speak Spanish. It's a bit too specific. And rlly that's kind of all I have right now. Sure, you could say "erm actually, Vaggie isn't a moth demon 🤓" and ur probably right. But if she's not, why is it that in her redesign for the show they lean into the moth hair? It's look much MUCH more moth than in the pilot. So if Viv wanted to stray away from the moth theme, why make it look more like that? She may not he exactly a moth demon but she does have intentional moth features. Perhaps Vaggie just disguised herself like that, either way, still a connection..
I would get it if one of them were in helluva boss jst as a way to recycle and make room or whatever. But no, they are in the same show, same world, same ring of hell, same city(I think). It's a weird connection and I kind of don't want it to exist. Like at all. Because if they are connected I can't think of any other way they are except that Val could be a fallen angel. Which I CANT imagine. Unless Vaggie is like, a winner that became an exterminator, but genuinely that would be a bit complex. But what isn't in this show. Then again, Adam said he created her, or that could be a metaphor for that Vaggie was never noticed as a human and just brushed off to the side so therefore Adam "created" her (created a name and image/status of her). But that's unlikely, I don't they would be that smart lmao.
Personality wise, they both have anger issues. Pilot Vaggie and show Valentino are more alike but show Vaggie is still somewhat spicy. They also both have hot voices, sorry not sorry, like fuck Val (not literally) but his voice is BAZINGA 😍 and I'm a simp for Stephanie Beatriz. I'm a simple gal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Design wise they have rare commonalities. They are both heavily red but thats everyone in the show it make my eyes bleed. But. A weird thing someone pointed out in a slideshow on tiktok is that show Valentino has white stripes on his hips. Me personally I'm not sure what to think about it really. Like I mean it IS a new detail that spawned AFTER the pilot and it is like... on the EXACT place. But like, it's such a weird thing to include when it's such a common pose yknow?
Also the X's on the boobs are so sensual I cannot be the only one. And ykno Val is the king of sensual (🤮)
Maybe you could be asking, "if Val and Vaggie r connected jst because they are moth demons then that jst means that anyone that are the same species are somehow tied to eachother huh? 🤓" like Angel Dust and Zestial. But what I think differs from that is the fact these two have actual big similarities apart from jst the fact they are moths. Like what I just explained, personality, design, both speak Spanish. While Angel Dust and Zestial are only just both spiders. Angel's reason for being a spider is due to the ykno, "web of crime" thing. And Zesty man? Idk he probably got bit and fucking died by a poisonous spider. I mean, health shit wasn't exactly great back in his ye olde time.
For Val and Vaggie we have NO idea why they are moths
Tumblr media
But I did find this! From google AI.....? (I didn't even know that was a thing..) but, I think it's true. It explains the dynamic with Angel alot and I think that's an interesting detail.
Which could also apply to Vaggie because of her hyper-dependency on Charlie.
Tumblr media
Plus this fits Vaggie so. SO much. If my theory that Vaggie just disguised herself as a moth to blend in then that would be a good connection to the entire moth motif. Love, I don't even need to explain.
It can fit Val too if you think abt the disguise part a bit. Like he disguises himself as this charming and calming figure to avoid suspicion and lure victims... fucking creepy 🤮
Also in Vaggie's past designs she was more moth.
Tumblr media
Here is like. ONE image I could find that wasn't too blurry. Like I wouldn't say it's heavy moth but I think if you asked me what insect she was based off I would guess moth in like a few minutes. The colors being dark, the fluffy legwarmers. Yum, that's a mothy. (THIS DESIGN YHO KINDA PISSES ME OFF. WHY IS THERE THE FEMALE SIGN OK HER SHIRY I THOUGHT SHE WAS STRAIGHT IN THIS VER??? also str8 vaggie scares me don't ever bring up that thing around me. They are NOT the same. #notmyvagina)
From what I know there aren't any previous old beta designs of Valentino, so he was likely made for the show specifically.
Overall, they are both sexy Spanish speakers who are moth demons, in the same show, oddly specific connected design choices, and have some anger issues.
Oh also they both hate Angel Dust 💜

I'm sorry to bother you. May I request an Angry/ fluff?
I saw this one episode from Helluva Boss about moxie. He has a toxic father and being forced to wed, and Millie saved him from a forced marriage.
Can you put the fem!Reader in the same situation? Being forced to wed and their partner rescue them?
141 squad + Valeria .
If this is too much writing for you... You can ignore it.
a/n: hi!! Guess who just wrote all of this and didn’t save! Also- no writing is too much for me :)
Tumblr media
Gaz:
-you didn’t tell him, just imagining the tears in his eyes was enough to make you feel horrid. He was so sweet to you, he didn’t deserve this but you didn’t have a choice
-he didn’t know until he came by to say hello after a long mission only for one of the maids to tell him you were off getting married!
-his heart was racing, did you not love him? Were you actually doing this? Why? No. No it wasn’t you. It had to be your family.
-even though he wasn’t invited, he walked in anyway, sitting in the front seat with a mask to cover his face and his nerves on edge
-and seeing you walk down the isle was enough to make him cry before he sprang into action, grabbing you by the wrist and walking you outside before anyone could do anything
-“next time I see you on an isle it better be you and me, luv. Yah?” Gaz hummed as he kissed you right outside the churches doors, a smile gleaming on his face
soap:
-he always had hated your family, their little comments against you and their glares at him always making his blood boil, if he could punch all of them he would in an instant and would have fun doing it
-the second you told him, all teary eyed and sobbing? He felt a sickening sense of jealously overwhelm him. You were his girlfriend and if a single rich jerk wanted you they would have to put up with him
-he of course, showed up to your wedding, knocking open the door with pure adrenaline shooting through him as he picked you up over your shoulder and carried you out
-he was a mix of emotions, and his adrenaline didn’t calm down until you were with him in the car, in his arms once again
-“yer alright ain’t ye, Bonnie? or should I go back ‘n and punch one of ‘em for ye?”
ghost:
-pretended to be okay with it, pretended to be fine with it, pretended to be okay with losing you even if he knew you were the only girl he had let in for a long time seriously
-he even saw you get up to the altar before he snapped. He couldn’t take it! He didn’t care if the fucking body guards hauled him away in the end he just couldn’t see you be unhappy
-of course everyone was shocked, including the poor groom who was just as uncomfortable as you were and was shoved aside by ghost
-ghost practically took you and ran. Didn’t even process what he did until you two were all the way at his apartment
-“fuck…. Hey, luvie- any idea on what we’re gonna do now or should I just hope your family doesn’t come and find you?”
price:
-oh now he’s just amused. Your family trying to take away you? From him? Ain’t that just sweet. he didn’t take them seriously even at the wedding. He knew he could pull this off and hopefully keep you with him where you wanted to be
-inside he was honestly scared though.. what if you did want this? What if he can’t think of a way to keep you safe? What if he fails?
-he treated it like a mission. Step one; show up with a fast get away car and grab you before you even get to the church, step two: cuddle with you till he forgets all the stress (although he wouldn’t admit that part until you let him)
-he got you home in the end, still in your dress and still stressed from the entire ordeal.. but now he has you back, that’s all that matters to him.
valeria:
-much to her men’s surprise, she didn’t… go in guns blazing! She simply payed people off. Oh your family is sending you to a country to marry someone? Too bad she’s there and the groom disappeared. Your family hides where you are? Whomp whomp, she’s already at the door ready to kiss you all over and simply walk out with you next to her
-over time it was practically a game for her, she knew you and her would marry eventually. Although she was starting to get bored of the white wedding gown she had seen you in at least five times now. Although you looked stunning in it all the same
-“you know, mi vida; when I marry you I should buy you a different dress. I’ve seen this one so many times it’s not even a surprise anymore, maybe you can choose it out and you can show it to me on the isle, hm?”

Hi! I have no idea how to request stuff but if you wouldn't mind, would you be able to do a helluva boss Andrealphus x reader? (Im not sure if you write for him or not since he doesn't have much screen time I'm sorry if u dont!) Where Andrealphus is so caught up in his duties that he accidentally neglects his partner and how he would make up for it. Pure fluff! Thank you for your time!!
I can try, but I can't promise it'll be good 😭
Tumblr media
Never Again - Andrealphus x GN! Reader
Song Recommendation:
You Are The Reason - Calum Scott
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being married to royalty definitely had it's pros. You had people waiting on you hand and foot, people knew who you were, and you got to shop without worrying too much about the money.
That was one of the best parts.
But being married to royalty also had it's cons. You constantly had people trying to kill you, you had to deal with your husband's bitch sister every time she came over to visit, and your husband got too caught up in his royal duties that he sometimes completely forgot to pay you any attention.
That was the worst part, by far.
Right now, you were currently sitting on your bed, texting your brother in law, Stolas.
You and Stolas were close, confiding to each other about anything and everything, from his feelings towards an imp, to how much the both of you absolutely loathed Stella.
Deciding that you were getting bored of texting, you put your phone down and went searching through the castle, looking for your husband.
After about a few minutes of looking, you found him in his office, typing away on a typewriter. From what you could tell from his body lanuage, he seemed stressed.
"My love are you alright?" you asked softly as you walked into the office.
No answer.
"My love?" you asked a little louder.
Still no answer.
"Andrealphus?"
He still didn't answer.
Letting out a puff of air, you walked over to behind his chair, putting your hands on his shoulders. He didn't say anything, instead easing into your touch.
"Is everything alright?" you asked, lightly massaging his shoulders. "You seem really stressed."
"Yes, I'm fine, dear" he said, resting his head back, meeting your eyes. "I just want to get this letter sent out before the end of the week."
"Who's the letter to?" you asked, continuing your massage.
"Asmodeus,"
"Asmodeus? I thought you didn't like him?"
"I don't, but this is a rather urgent matter," he groaned as you hit a pressure point.
"What's the occasion?" you asked.
"He wants the two of us to meet at his club to discuss his sex toy production,"
"Why would he want to do that exactly?"
"That I don't know, my dear,"
"Do you want me to go with you?" you smirked, leaning down to his hear. "For moral support, of course."
Your husband chuckled. "As much as I want you with me" he started. "I don't want you in that type of environment."
"Aw, you're no fun," you playfully stuck out your tongue. "When do you think you'll be done?"
"Later today,"
"There's a but isn't there?"
"I'm sorry, my love," he said, lightly frowning. "But after I finish this, I have to attend a meeting at my sisters."
"Of course it's at Stella's," you said under your breath, pulling your hands away from your husband. "Is it actually a meeting, or are the two just going to bitch about Stolas the whole time?"
"No, this is an actual meeting," Andrealphus said, getting out of his chair. "The whole Ars Goetia is going to be there, including Stolas."
He gently cupped your face with his hands. The cold touch of his palms and fingertips making a shiver go down your spine and goosebumps appear all over your skin.
"I know you want us to spend more time together, Y/N," he said softly. "I do too, but you know I have duties to attend to."
"Yeah, I know," you grumbled, looking up to meet his blue eyes. "I just wish you didn't have to all the time."
"I know, I know," he said before closing the gap between you two and kissed you softly.
His cold lips were a nice contrast to your warm ones. Even though this was probably the thousandth time the two of you had kissed, it made your heart melt and your knees turn to jelly.
"I'll make it up to you, I promise," he whispered as he pulled away. "How about we go to a nice place for dinner, hm? Would that make up for it?"
"Mmm maybe," you giggled. "Only if you're paying."
"Don't I always, love?" he laughed. "I'll meet you out front at 8, you better be ready by then."
"I will," you said, pecking him on his beak. He blushed. He absolutely loved when you did that. "I'll see you then, handsome."
He removed his hands from your face, kissing you on the forehead. "I can't wait to see how you look, my love."
"Well, I better go start planning my outfit then," you said, walking out of the office. "I love you Andrealphus,"
"I love you too, Y/N,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yandere Striker HCS
☕┆ Author's Note: Hello! My little imps, demonic sinners, & powerful overlords. Welcome to some spicy yandere striker hcs and you'll see what I mean by spicy. But keep in mind having a yandere partner in real life isn't okay and you shouldn't mimic these actions to get someone to love you. But this is fictional characters and a story of dark romance so I hope you enjoy if you do enjoy don't forget to comment, like, reblog, or request. ☕📖
☕┆ Story Contains: Kidnapping, Drugging, Threats, & Smut
☕┆ Fandom: Helluva Boss
☕┆ Word Count: 1282
Tumblr media
When he first met on your family’s farm since he was helping out to make money, he loved to tease you. Just something was telling him to tease but soon that teasing became more of flirting. Striker always playfully flirting with a lot of people but now that attention was on you and he adored seeing you get heated or flustered. He would come up with new nicknames for you and fun ways to tease you. You brought out something in Striker that he thought he buried deep inside him. But just seeing you took his breath away.
He tried multiple times to convince himself, that he didn’t love you. That this was just some stupid puppy love. He even tried to distance himself from you or tell your family that he was too sick to come in. But eventually, he accepted the fact that he loved you and wanted to confess. But something got in the way. It was your family and friends. He hated how they had your attention, especially your friends. He would scoff whenever your male friends or female friends playfully flirted and complimented you. That should be him making you laugh, blush, and feel important. He dislike the work your family made you do and how they scolded you.
Striker told himself, that he was going to save you. And it took him a couple of weeks to come up with a plan. You somehow got sick, how strange. So you couldn't hang out with your friends or go with your family to see your grandparents. You lay in bed resting but you heard your door creak open and looked to see Striker. You wondered why he was here, he had quit working on the farm last week. But your eyes widen when you see him with the syringe in his hands. “ This is going to hurt baby doll but this is for your own good. “Striker pinned you to the bed. He was stronger than you so it was easy for him to pin you down and hit you with the needle, everything went back and the last thing you heard was Striker’s voice. “ I’m saving you babydoll just shh shh there, there. “
After the whole kidnapping shit. Striker had you tied down and gagged. You panicked and always tried to fight back. Striker would tell you that he was doing this because he loved you. Funny enough you did have feelings for Striker. But how he went about confessing his love to you was too much. And when you would tell him to let you go. He would just laugh. “ Haha! After all the trouble I went through to get you, I can’t let you go babydoll. But don’t worry I’m going to take good care of you. “ He would kiss you after everything he would say to ensure you that he loved you.
Whenever he left he would have extra locks on the doors, and windows, and make sure you were tied down well. He didn’t want his babydoll to leave him. But whenever he was home. He would cuddle, carry you around, feed you, bathe you, and let you stretch. But don’t you dare think about escaping because Striker would knock you down and pull out that syringe. Once you woke up, he would lecture but also threatened to kill your friends and family. Which made you fear him and sit there and sob. He hated seeing you sob so he would try to make you laugh or smile.
Striker would talk about marriage with you. And how you both will have a pretty wedding and you’ll be his everything. He tells you how much stole his heart. “ One day you love me and I love you the same one day we'll have a pretty wedding, and I'll be your everything we'll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part. “ He would say while dancing with you. He loved hearing you say that you loved him just as much as he loved you. “ Oh, babydoll please say again. “
When he brags about you in front of others. They better watch they say. “ Oh, she is hot you better watch out. “, “ Let me know if you two break up. “ , “ Eh I’ve seen better looking. “, or “ You could do better. “ Because when those words leave people’s mouths. Striker will come home covered in blood and mumbling. Now he doesn’t brag about you.
If Striker lets you go out then you have to wear a disguise but it depends on why you wanna go out. Striker makes it seem like he could get you whatever you want and you don’t need to go out. But if you need fresh air, then he’ll take you on a walk or out to eat at some diner that doesn’t get many people. But he does spoil you and get you whatever you want if you request a phone call with your friends and family then that’s an automatic no from him and don't you dare or ask again.
You sadly and eventually accept your new life with Striker. You loved him since you met him but you knew the relationship wasn’t healthy you just had to deal with this new life and not piss off Striker and make sure no one else does the same. Striker with cuddle you a lot in bed especially after releasing you of the binds. He would lay on the couch or bed with you his tail wrapped around your waist.
Tumblr media
NSFW:
Oh boy, when you two have sex he is animalistic with you. As he pounds into your wet cunt, he gets lost in your moans. His heavy breathing and hot breath against your neck while he pounds away at your cunt. When he looks at you, he loves seeing your eyes roll back and you trembling. Your sweet moans make him grin and he would move your hair out of the way. “ O~Oh, babydoll you look so beautiful like this. Keep making those sweet noises and don’t stop. “ He says while grunting. He doesn’t even stop pounding into you after he fills you up to the brim. He just places you in a new position and continues to pound into you.
He loves exploring your body and groping your ass, chest, and thighs. Sometimes he’ll have you grind on his leg and make you beg to be fucked. He’ll plunge his fingers into your hole, thrusting his fingers in and out. He’ll chuckle seeing how much of a mess you are. “ Look at you such a little slut, but your mine all mine. “ He’ll want you to scream and tell him that you belong to him and if he likes what he hears then maybe he’ll fuck you.
He’ll have you suck on his fingers before plugging them into your cunt. And if he wants to feel good too, he’ll have you on your knees knees sucking his cock and he just loves to see how far. He can get his cock down your throat. While your hand strokes the other {Someone stated before in a smut story since Striker is a snake mix it would make sense if he had two cocks since snakes have two} Which when you first saw made you a blushing mess and just made Striker grin.
Yandere or not Striker will give you aftercare. He’ll bathe you, get you in pajamas, and cuddle with you. He’ll tell you how good you were and how much he loves you. He’ll kiss every bite mark and love mark he has given you because he wants to let others know and remind you that you are his and only his.

Literally no one is talking about this (that I’ve seen anyway) and the episode is old now but I can’t stop thinking about it so I’m making a post anyway.
This is about the scene in Helluva Boss season 2 episode 7 “Mammon’s Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special” where a young imp and Fizzarolli sign to each other.
TLDR: The signing is wonky and the scene feels unearned.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT DEAF AND NOT AN ASL EXPERT. THIS IS JUST MY INTERPRETATION OF THIS SCENE. I DO NOT SPEAK FOR DEAF OR HOH PEOPLES’ OPINIONS.
Right. So, surface level, what do the writers *want* to have the signing mean? What is their desired English sentiment?
Kid: Fizzarolli! I’m a big fan!
Fizz: Come on over here
Kid: I want to be a clown just like you!
Fizz: You can do anything you want to do.
Cool, great. Now, what did they actually sign? DISCLAIMER 2: THERE IS NO WRITTEN FORM OF ASL, ASL CAN BE SORT OF TRANSCRIBED IN ENGLISH BUT IT IS NOT WRITTEN ASL.
Kid: F-CLOWN (name sign, “Fizzarolli”) I BIG FAN.
Fizz: [Gesture to come over]
Kid: CLOWN SAME-AS-YOU.
Fizz: IF/SUPPOSE WANT, CAN-aff WORK.
On the most basic level, this is fine. It more-or-less represents what the writers wanted to be said. But it’s just…not great. It’s so simple compared to what the writers wanted to say. It makes the translation put up on screen look wrong.
The kid makes no indication that they “want” to be a clown, they could very well have been meaning that they currently ARE a clown, maybe even in training. There was no indication of “becoming” or a future signifier. There was a general lack of pronouns making it sound vague. The final sentiment from Fizz is much more grounded than what the writers wanted him to say. “You can do anything!” vs “you could work as a clown if you wanted to.” The difference speaks for itself.
There ARE signs for the sentiment they want to convey!!! They exist!!! LOOK: https://youtu.be/JbfWzc0-R6E?si=FxvbC9l-hvArLPg0
youtube
“But wait!” I hear you say. “What if they got the signs first and mistranslated it?”
Since this is an English show for English speakers that must be written in English, no. They wrote the translation first and put mediocre signing in the episode.
Could the sentiment have been gutted for time/animation constraints? Quite possibly! But we’ve seen the kinds of shots the Helluva team can pull off (Striker’s 3/4 turn with the pistol, DHORKs full camera action spin, to name a few) so I don’t doubt they COULD have animated the signing appropriately if they wanted to.
Now, they did have an ASL consultant for this episode (the bare minimum we love to see it, AND on the very last page of credits? wow), his name is Salvador Baltazar. There’s not much out there on him, but he’s primarily an interpreter. There is no way to know what he helped with or how much he dictated the scene and I don’t plan on wildly speculating. It’s great that he’s there, why did he let this signing air the way it did though.
Finally, what’s the purpose of this scene? Why is it here? Why these characters in this situation?
More competent analysts than I have picked apart the woobification of Helluva characters and how, once they’re not a villain anymore, their characterization and morals get completely overhauled to appeal to the “oh he’s so traumatized!” crowd.
I think this scene is a part of that. And it got its desired reaction.
Seeing celebrities interact well with children is already something that would net a character some popularity brownie points. If that child is clearly an “other” and the celebrity does something special to recognize that child? Brownie fucking bakeries.
The purpose of this scene is to show that not all of Fizz’s fans suck, yes, but also to show how kind and nice and thoughtful Fizz is just to hammer home how TragicTM his situation is.
And the fans went wild!!!! Here is a character putting in effort to learn ASL and speak with child fans! Wow he’s so great! He’s so amazing! What Herculean tasks he’s taken upon himself to be so cool! Wow! (Not everyone says it like that, but that was the general vibe of the Helluva tag following the episode’s release).
It got fans speculating; “I wonder if this ties into his Tragic BackstoryTM!” We’ll probably never know because Fizz’s fluency in ASL, his role in the Deaf community, is not something the writers care about exploring. They didn’t include a scene with ASL because they wanted to have a deaf character, they included it to make Fizz look good.
Something a lot of people have brought up about this kid—and rightfully so—is their age. What’s this 9 year old doing at the blow-out clown sex appeal concert? How did they get into the VIP section? Couldn’t you contrast the possessive critic guy with another adult who isn’t gross? Wouldn’t it make more sense if this character was an ADULT at the ADULT SHOW?
Yes! Yes it would! But would an adult signer garner half as many pity points as a young child with stars in their eyes? No. I doubt it would.
This scene is not here to show respect for deaf people. Just like the show doesn’t respect deaf people. I ask you to check out the captions for season 2 episode 6. Go on.
Because you know what you’ll find?
A bunch of loud, keysmashing inanity, that ignores describing what’s being said in favour of making queef jokes. These are not functional captions. For a show that prides itself on being just as professional as what you can find aired on TV or streaming, this is laughably bad. This is YouTube 2013 gaming jump scare compilations bad. And those captions are Still There DESPITE people pointing out that they’re not functional.
From a studio that’s fine with sabotaging their own captions I really shouldn’t be surprised with their treatment of ASL as sloppy, basic, and only really there for pandering.
Jesus Christ, do better.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but from what I know Helluva Boss is written by only three people right? That being Viv, Brandon, and Adam. And while I’m sure ideas are bounced around here and there with the team, the way this season is going is begging for an actual writers room with more experienced people. Not saying those three don’t have any experience, but it’s clear they don’t know how to mesh the comedy and serious moments together well at this point. Part of writing is knowing when you need to omit stuff because it doesn’t fit the tone or story progession that you have established, even if you very badly want to include it. The writing for Helluva Boss in contrast feels they are forgoing any sense of coherence so they can stuff in whatever they like even if it goes against previously established plot points and try desperately to get to you pity these awful characters instead of letting them learn from their mistakes and grow as people naturally. Again, if this had stayed a dark comedy, that would have been passable, but now they are trying to tell a serialized dramatic story with arcs and emotion, and it’s just failing because that is not these writers expertise. This is complete speculation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Viv’s aversion to any form of criticism is affecting it.
How many times must we see something terrible happen to Stolas because the show wants you to keep crying and pitying over without having these characters actually navigating it themselves? How many times will Blitz acknowledge he’s an awful person but not actively try to change his behavior in anyway and revert to the exact same character the next episode? How many times will Moxxie have to learn confidence because it’s the only arc they can think to do with him while Millie is a walking prop and Loona flip flops between liking her dad and physically abusing him for no reason? To the people who keep saying “just wait the shows not over yet!” we are basically halfway through season 2, there is no damn reason why Millie shouldn’t have had ANYTHING on her own yet or why Blitz and Stolas should be repeating the same “uwu he doesn’t love me” scene over and over again. If you give us what should be moments of character development but never actual show it through their actions or behaviors after the fact, it’s not character development at all, it’s cheap scenes you threw in cause you wanted the guise of something serious without actually taking the screentime to commit to it. And yes, the Stolas Blitzo stuff is probably going to pay off eventually, but it’s annoying for the audience to watch this will they won’t they game in almost every single episode just waiting for when the characters will finally change or have at least SOME type of acknowledgement of all they’ve been through instead of just keeping the status quo of another “Stolas looks sadly at his phone,” “Blitzo doesn’t really care about him until there’s one millisecond showing maybe he does 🥺.” Unless your a hardcore shipper, people won’t stick around with that forever.
The show wants to have world-building, quirky characters who are bad people, tons of villains, funny sex jokes, emotional investment, and a complicated romance, but there’s a reason lots of media fails when it tries to be everything at once. The Stolitz plot behind every episode now is sabotaging parts of the show that promised wacky demon assassin adventures, and the less serious moments like the Loona doctor B plot in turn ruins the atmosphere of the dramatic scenes associated with the Stolitz plot. They wanted to show a serious abusive arranged relationship through Stella, but they also wanted her to have be a campy bad guy so Stolas could have a reason to cheat on her so he wouldn’t look like the bad guy. This leaves us with confusing contradictions like Stella written as being legit mad about him cheating and wanting him dead while hinting at them having at least a positive public image as a family once through the background paintings, to suddenly her not having ever cared about him and seeking him out “cause she likes tormenting him” while she also now didn’t want him killed I guess because she’s opposed to the divorce because the Goetia want them together??, but then wanting him killed AGAIN after even though the Goetia probably always wanted that guy alive and her brother has to come in for no reason to make her look like an absolute dumbass.
Same with Loona. They try to give her development with Blitz, but they never do anything with it and by the next episode she’ll be beating the shit out of him again. “She’s a moody teenager!” She’s a woman in her twenties and I don’t care about her sometimes finding appreciation for her dad when she’ll just kick him in the nuts right after because physical abuse against a spouse is serious but with a daughter it’s funny I guess. And again, the entire argument fans have to justify this constant loop of creating and forgetting about character development is “just wait they probably have a plan.” Nah bro I’m pretty sure they just still wanted to throw edgy dark comedy in there and to do that they had to ignore any positive character changes it seemed like happened until a future episode specifically is written to continue that arc. Also the world building and class system in general is just bad when they actually choose to acknowledge it, which is rarely. It’s still so unclear whether hellhounds are seen as actually sentient autonomous people or pets, and it just makes scenes with Loona super weird sometimes. Same with imps, for an apparent underclass they sure seem to be able to go wherever they want and do whatever they want without too much trouble, and until the latest episode we’ve never seen any imp discrimination be a major factor besides comments from Stolas (which we are now choosing to ignore because Stolas can’t be a bigot that has to learn to be a better person, Stolas is perfect 🙃)
Yikes this got longer than I meant it to but overall Helluva Boss just could really benefit from some more inputs in the writing, not just ideas for story or jokes but someone who actually knows how to properly balance and structure this kind of stuff into an episode. As is it feels very disjointed, especially this season. I don’t think this show would ever be perfectly for me, just because I don’t find the humor at all funny and that’s kind of what makes the show, but at the very least it’d be nice if the actual plots and world these characters navigate was fun to watch, but most of the time it’s just not anymore, because you don’t get to actually see most characters interact or what their relationships are, and if you do they hardly ever change from what they were until suddenly it’s relevant for the plot. Blitz is uncomfortable around Stolas and is tired about being treated like a play thing, wait no now he’s turned on by Stolas’s flirting even though we’ve never seen that before and this is right after they literally had a huge fight, wait nevermind now Blitz doesn’t care again. Moxxie is always weak and sensitive when an episode is about him but suddenly super strong and has no problems killing in any other episode (“We’re not going up there just to massacre we need clients! -S1E3, exactly what he and Millie do to an entire audience of innocent bystanders in the Cherub episode and they don’t care). Stolas is super perverted and sees Blitz as an object, wait nevermind we’re just gonna change his entire fucking backstory so his behavior will look justified even though that man would literally have to be a the dumbest person in Hell to not see Blitz did not care and was actively repulsed by him all throughout season 1, yet continued to act that way to his supposed “first friend” because..he thought it was a sexy game or something they were playing? Even as a retcon for an excuse it’s still bad. Helluva Boss has no rules it sticks to, no jokes or character behaviors it refrains from even if it harms the quality, it’s just a badly written fanfic with pretty animation.

So I love Sun and Moon for many reasons but ONE of those many reasons is because I love jester/clown characters like Spinel from Steven Universe, Fizzeroli from Helluva Boss, Cicero from Skyrim, Clopin from Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, etc. just silly little guys. Bouncy. Chaotic in the best ways. and I was wondering how you feel about characters like that/if that’s also part of why you like Sun and Moon?
Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
Eee yes I def feel connected to jester/clown characters!! In fact .. Heres an OC of mine!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her name is The Big Top, The Main Attraction, Her Royal Silliness Lady Amelia Lulu Dixie Mautherine the First :) But you can call her Amelia. She's a clown brood mother
she can open up her skirt (which is one of those big preschool umbrella things) and a bunch of plastic play pit balls fall out, which are clown eggs that turn into helium balloons right before theyre ready to hatch into toodles, which eventually grow into clowns :oD

Tell me more about your feelings on Hazbin Hotel.
Part of me doesn’t want to answer this question, because of how popular this show is on Tumblr.
And I know that people will be like.
“What do you know, you’re a Christian, of Course you’d have some problems with it.”
Yes, I am going to disclose that. I am a Christian. Not ashamed of that. Still working to be a better one. But I can be objective enough to view it as a writer, and that at most my personal bias will only be a slight enhancement of my view.
And these are my unfiltered thoughts on this show.
But for my opinion of Hazbin hotel. The original Pilot was interesting. A place trying to reform sinners in the last place people would think to be reformed. (Spoilers ahead)
That pilot premise is interesting. You see Hell as a cesspool of the absolute worse people. (Like Los Angeles but with more cannibalism) and it takes the “Hell is other people approach”
The songs were fine, the animation was great, and the characters introduced were intriguing. So much potential depth to them, theories can speculate. And of course the big question of. “Can someone in hell actually be redeemed?” And we even have a character pointing out “of course not, they’re in hell. Their chance was before this?”
It raised this question of, if you know your doomed, why try to be a good person? And That is fascinating.
Then the show finally airs. And it’s just another “Heaven is corrupt” storyline. And it’s not even done well.
(The whole retelling of creation made my eyes roll. Trying to make Lucifer to be the good guy? How original (sarcasm). And not even done well. Because it’s Charlie narrating this, which makes it be like Charlie knows all this and is doing all of this pointlessly)
Hells gonna rise up against it and all that. The hotel was basically pointless.
The show goes on to constantly contradict itself at numerous points that leaves me more confused.
Yes there is an interesting character (Alastor) but outside of a great soundtrack and animation… the writing of the show is a mess.
It feels both rushed and too slow. The characters are speedrunning their arcs, yet the plot is crawling.
Let’s then not forget the fact that Angel power and weapons are said to be the only thing that Perma kills sinners and angels. Yet sir pretentious dies and instead of permadead, goes to heaven? What fucking logic is that?
Also it says how only Angel weapons and powers can hurt angels (they make a whole point about it) only to show Vaggie and Lute have a whole ass fight hurting eachother with tables and s***. Unless they’ve been blessed them chairs…
Also where do the souls that perma die go? Detroit? Because if Sir pretentious can go to heaven after dying, what the deal with all this? Is Hell actually hell? Seems more like purgatory.
And then you include the helluva boss lore as they take place in the same universe. And MORE questions get added.
But that’s a can of worms for another time.
More importantly, Charlie, the main character hardly gets any development moments. Her issues are TOLD not showed.
Vaggie is also a mess too, like her whole thing is protecting Charlie, and helping her. But then she gets told that she has to fight For Love and that’s how to win? You mean what she’s BEEN DOING THE WHOLE TIME?!
All the stuff with Angel Dust, the writing for that is fine when showing the messed up situation he’s in, but then after the Song “Loser, Baby” he’s suddenly months sober? Speedrunning a bit too much.
Side note: HOW DOES HEAVEN NOT KNOW HOW PEOPLE GET INTO HEAVEN?!
Like they genuinely seem like they don’t know? From my understanding, there is no Big Man making all the calls. Thats not corruption. Thats incompetence.
So if it’s just angels in charge, THEY should know. Like show that they’re tilting the scale or maybe denying certain people that DO follow the criteria. Because with the incompetency of it, it basically leaves the door open for potentially EVERYONE to get into heaven.
Yet then the show shows how awful people in hell are, like it’s clear there are people that deserve hell. Maybe I’m overthinking it, maybe I’m not thinking about it enough. But it’s a really dumb system.
But the biggest glaring hole in this show is the fact that there is no point for heaven to actually do the purge in the first place.
Hell being overpopulated shouldn’t matter. Only Angel power and weapons can actually hurt angels. Why would they worry about an uprising. Heaven could easily wipe hell. The only people that could probably do damage is Lucifer and the leaders of the rings of hell. And even then… That’s like 7 against ALL OF HEAVEN!? Even if we assume overlords and some high level demons could do similar… Heaven still takes it. (But then again the Lute and Vaggie fight might contradict that. Hard to say it’s so confusing)
That all aside, is it an awful show? No. It’s just so riddled with plotholes and pacing issues.
Would I recommend this show to people? No.
Would I recommend the sound track? Probably, the songs are catchy. Can’t deny that.
Everyone has their own opinions and tastes, but the show has too much of a mess for me.

Any theories for Helluva boss s2?
Uhm, yes!
Kinda.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1) Stolas and Blitzø's huge fight leads to them not talking for a bit.
Once they start talking again, they actually start to act like friends because I don't think they start dating after full moon. I really don't.
I don't think they should date. Not for a while.
And I think the episode will air on May 23.
Tumblr media
2) Millie and Blitzø flashback due to us seeing her with long hair fighting blitzø in that clip of the trailer
Millie episode pleaaasseeee!!!!!! I'll take 2! Thanks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3) IMP has to go on break which is why ghostfuckers exists..BUT! I think the reason has something to do with the goetias or Stolas. I think that's who they're running from.
Tumblr media
4) heheh, andrealphus has no arms, heheh 🤣
5) The red Bird is either a potential love interest for Stolas or his brother- either way, I'm in love with him!
Tumblr media
6) I think Blitzø is still in love with Fizz, and this episode may provide some good closure for him. I also think maybe Fizz will show Blitzø the benefits of being part of a relationship and this may cause Blitzø to rethink his relationship with Stolas...and by that I mean this could lead to the apology tour where Blitzø feels remorse for his past actions and tries to make things right with Stolas and Verosika.
You know...if Blitzø can do that.
He has a bad habit of...being bad at being a decent person.
He did alright with Fizz tho! So he should be fine...probably.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aaaand.
7) Octavia finally gets the attention she deserves.
I think Via is going to either make a huge mistake at the goetia meeting thingy. Or she's going to cut contact from her father for a bit.
I think Andreaphus is going to use Via against Stolas in some way.
Either way I'm all for the angst!
Tumblr media
Or I may be wrong about all of this!
Either way, I think it'll be great!

What are some Hazbin Hotel/ Helluva Boss head canons you wanna share? (Yes, I AM asking for you to ramble to your heart's content about the blorbos!)
I love you so much. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
This got real long so its going under a read more.
Hazbin Headcanons:
The sigils that float around Alastor when he uses magic are not actually a part of his powerset. They're part of the leash on him.
Lilith is not in Heaven relaxing, she's spying on them
Husk hasn't preened his wings properly in years and its actually a big part of why he's so goddamn grouchy
Lucifer has the same problem but make it part of why he's so depressed
Charlie has wings but even she doesn't know that yet
Alastor DOES have a deer tail but he either keeps it hidden inside his pants so it can never been seen or continually removes it
Angel can in fact spin webs but hates to because its fucking weird and instinctual and he does not like having his thorax out
Angel is venomous
Contracts by nature nerf the sinner they're attached to unless otherwise specified, and by that logic almost every member of the Hazbin cast are significantly stronger than they're aware of. With the exception of Husk, who held onto his power, and Alastor who knows EXACTLY how much power he's missing.
Valentino legitimately loves Vox but it isn't mutual (the IRONY)
Velvette doesn't change hairstyles, she changes her whole head
Lucifer’s blood is both addictive and toxic to demons in the long term. It tastes like apple cider and FIRE
Alastor absolutely hates it, he tried it once and it was far too sweet for him
Music is ACTUALLY a legitimate form of magic in the Hellaverse and particularly powerful because it can have unintended effects and it is irresistable.
Alastor IS redeemable (ask me about this only if you want the essay)
Helluva Boss Headcanons:
Millie was a prison guard at the jail Moxxie and Blitzø met through.
Octavia's powerset is routed in precognition, but she hasn't begun to explore it enough yet to have realized that
I don't think this is a headcanon exactly but I'm manifesting Loona/Tex/Bee
Fizz tops
Verosika still has lingering feelings towards Blitz and she is PISSED about it
Stolas has been watching that same soap opera since he was a kid
Literally none of the other sins like Mamon its not just Ozzie
MOST of the sins are cool with each other, or at the very least like coworkers about things
Its possible to BECOME a Sin since in this verse they're not fallen angels
The current sins are (mostly) not the original demons to hold those titles
Blitz's Dad is still alive
Striker is demi and TIRED.
If he had taken the deal, Striker actually would have followed through with what he'd told Blitzø
At the circus, Blitzø didn't actually have a room (was given to Fizz though he wasn't originally angry about it) and often times he slept in their horse stable. The horses would let him sleep on them and its a big part of why he loves them so much
Fizz also fucking hates Blitzø's Dad
The agent that got possessed can now see demons as they are despite glamoring
Blitzø is actually genuinely hilarious he just has this issue where if he TRIES to be funny he CANNOT do it.
Moxxie doesn't cuss because his Dad cusses A LOT and he sounds too much like him when he does
Millie is one of those people who is good at literally anything they try the first ir second try and it pisses off both Blitzø and Moxxie, but Moxxie at least tries to hide it because he loves her.
Loona is ticklish as FUCK but if anyone ever learns that, they die
Octavia actually wishes she had a sibling
Millie is the only person who doesn't think Striker is all that hot and does not understand the hype

Hazbin hotel charachters (or at least the ones i remember) according to me, who has never watched it
Charlie: probably the only normal person in the show
Alastor: someone made a fanart that made me think they had some sort of top surgery scars so now theyre trans🏳️‍⚧️
Lucifer: "i have no idea who i am. Every day i scare myself because i think I saw that darn goggled autist in the mirror. I know for a FACT i have died before, but HE wont let me rest. According to HIM, me and god owe him so much we should surrender heaven and hell to him. I have been unironically killed over 667 times and i KNOW none of them are the last. I have seen him corrupt hell and turn it into a psychedelic SOMETHING that isnt hell anymore. I have seen HIM shrug off Holy Energy like HE got shot with a squirt gun. I saw HIM posess the ones i loved most and turn them into distorted horrors that not even i could come up with- I know im not the only "interpretation of the devil" who has been subject to this... this is why i try to be closer to my dear daughter as much as i can- i KNOW that one day i shall disintegrate into nothingness and "finally shut up" whatever that means. God isnt dead because HE said so. No mind can make hell out of heaven and viceversa except HIS... because he doesnt turn them into neither. Everything Eventually Becomes Entropy. And Then He Turnes It Into Autism So He May Forever Evade Death By Eternally Dying. He made himself judge, jury, and executioner, and the only thing stopping him from actually DOING anything is how overwhelming is the mortal wo-" "dad will you fucking take your meds already or do i have to shove them up your ass"
Vox: they changed heads, and are definetively gay
Loona: WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO FUCK HER HOLY SHIT NO WONDER SHES SO GRUMPY
Sir Pentious: i feel like they should get their eggs back. Idk why.
Angel dust: drug addict spider femboy. Also they have been subjected to sexual abuse so ffs MAKE THEM FEEL SAFE
Striker: i know that ass has watched 1980s anime. I just KNOW.
Blitzø (and the rest of the helluva boss team): really funny imps who (through some JJBA part 5 shit) just wanna exist in a literal hellhole
Those cupid-shaped somethings i saw ONCE: ha-ha, "uwu angels are actually the enemies lol" HIDEKI ANNO DIDNT MAKE EVANGELION FOR THIS YOU DESSICATED TESTICLES. Yes I think it may have Actual Meaning but WHO THE FUCK CARES HOLY SHIT NO WONDER GABRIEL HAS BRAIN PROBLEMS FIRST THE CONQUERING OF AMERICA AND THEN THE GAY GOPRO THAT DOES COIN TRICKSHOTS HOLY SHITTING FUCK-

Day 3 of Redacted "What Ifs"- Mafia au (Part One)
CAUTION- LONG POST
So this was very widely requested, which I was NOT opposed to. Except for the fact that the only couple I had in mind was Gavin and FL. SO- Imma try to explain how I have the main groups set up first, then I’ll explain the individual character’s roles, and after that, I'll Explain how each of the couples met.
The Damn Crew is their own group of freelance mercenaries (Ik I’m so funny). They don’t belong to any clans or packs, they just get hired for different jobs and collect their money. The Shaw Pack is one of the bigger mafia groups as well as The Solaire Clan. Usually, packs and clans don’t get along with each other that well (woah werewolf and vampire drama) but, when David was a kid, Gabe established a peaceful friendship with The Solaire Clan (Gabe and William were buddies).
Freelancer- In this au, FL is a cold, but caring leader. They crack jokes and laugh with their group, but on the job, they have a stone-cold expressions. They prefer solo missions, and despite some worries, they know that the rest of their group can handle themselves. They also don’t care for distractions, which Damien and Huxley definitely provide on the job.
Gavin- This man is always cracking jokes, and unlike the rest of the Damn Crew, Gavin isn’t in it for the money. He’s more in it for… the food. Yea, this man does it with his targets and then kills/kidnaps/whatever he was hired to do to them. Best way to get a “quiet” death or at least be able to get away before anybody dared to go into the room they were in. He’s still against forcing it on people (which is why he only ever takes up targets he knows to have an attraction to him) as well as he is against shape-shifting for them. Surprisingly, he still gets enough jobs to sustain himself. He’s also more of an asshole than he was in the og story (I haven’t seen the second episode in so long, I forget how much of an ass he was).
Huxley and Damien (despite me loving them so much, there's not much to talk about them so this is the only time I’ll talk about just them)- Damien is usually serious when it comes to the job, but he can’t help but smile when Huxley is there with him. Huxley pretty much is there just to flirt and bash some heads in. When he actually focuses on Damien though, he goes into a full gay panic and completely stops doing what he’s doing. It’s okay though because they both put 100% trust in each other during missions. They just simply say the other’s name, and they’re right there next to each other. Think of Millie and Moxxie from Helluva Boss and how well they work together.
Lasko- Lasko is too nervous/scared to pull the trigger on anybody, so he does his best to organize his group and get jobs for everyone. He originally got into the whole mafia thing after meeting and periodically dating Gavin (yes Ik it wasn’t explicitly said in the og story- just heavily implied- but it's canon here so be happy :D). Despite his thinking that FL should represent their group when getting jobs he usually meets the bosses. FL has been trying to get him out of the house so this is the only way they could find to get him to touch some grass. Most of the bosses are amused by him and some even see him as a friend (Gabe before yk- and William), while others think he’s pathetic (don’t be mean to our boi >:v).
Lasko’s Listener- LL is pretty similar to FL, though they show a lot more mercy to their targets, making their target’s death fast (FL enjoys the chase). They have the SOFTEST soft spot for Lasko though. Any moment Lasko is in danger/uncomfortable, LL is there. They are the most protective out of the group over Lasko which is why FL let them stay and eventually grew fond of them.
Imma do this as a cool lil' narrative bc I already explained their characters.
Freelancer(you) and Gavin-
You had just finished cleaning up the blood off of your dark suit, "If they'd just hand over the damn money, it wouldn't be so hard," you mumbled. After a few minutes of polishing your favorite pistol, you got up and began to do a sweep of the room. You made sure there was no evidence of your arrival and looked for any loose money or safes. Eventually, you found a suitcase that you estimated to have the amount of money you needed. Hastily, you went to check on the mysterious man that Lasko had told you would be on the job with you.
You didn't know much about the man, Lasko seemed more reluctant to give information about him than he usually was. He had only said one thing, "Make sure he gets the job done. His tactics are... unconventional." From there, your friend was too flustered to give any more information, and you just assumed he had a "history" with the man. It was obvious.
"Why did this have to be a double mission?" You ask yourself, rushing down the hallways of the hotel, "I could have done it myself. I don't need some whore of a mercenary to help me out with killing a set of two ignorant people." Later, you'd find out how accurate that word choice was. The mercenary would not be ashamed to hear you called him such a name.
Once you arrived, you didn't hesitate to open the door and walk in. The bathroom light was the only light that was on. On the bed, was a dark stain, and as you took a deep breath in you smelt the overwhelming metallic scent of blood. Somebody had died in here.
Gripping your pistol, you took a step forward. Feeling, your foot kick something, you notice there are clothes sprawled out around the room, "Oh. My. God," you thought.
Moving toward the bathroom, you saw a figure. Quickly, you rushed towards the figure. Before you knew it, your pistol was against his forehead, and his claws were wrapped around your neck.
"Who are you?" the man asked.
"The one making sure you finish the job. I can see how that went for you," you gestured to his... everything, he was barely clothed, and his body was covered in hastily healing wounds. He was some form of demon. Putting two and two together, you could tell what kind of demon he was.
Realization dawned on his face before his smile turned to a devilish one, "Oh, you're with that airhead, aren't you?"
You never thought your hand could grip tighter on the gun. Anger filled your veins, but you still fought to keep a straight face. You stepped forward, and with his claws unyielding, you pressed the cold end of the gun to his face. "Don't. call him that," you spoke in a calm, threatening tone.
He laughed and pulled his hand away from your throat, still scratching the sides of your neck gently, "I like you."
"Who are you?" You ask, unphased.
"I'm Gavin, but a beautiful creature like you can call me Gav," he smirked as if he thought he got you with that one.
"...And what are you?"
"I think you know very well what I am, voyeur. Though, If you need reminding, I'm an Incubus, and you?" His tone was condescending, but you had taught yourself not to react to such antagonization.
"First of all, don't call me that, and if you must know, I'm a freelancer."
"A freelancer... Eh? Well, I still prefer voyeur, so I'll stick with that."
You lower your gun and break eye contact with him for the first time since you saw his figure in the fluorescent bathroom lights. Looking away, you hear sirens. "We've wasted too much time, get some clothes on and we're reporting back to our employer."
Lasko and Lasko's Listener-
I don't know how to do a narrative for this one and it's 12:24 am for me so Imma just explain it (I'm so sorry I wanted to write this as a narrative but I have no ideas for it). Also, LL is Lasko's Listener-
So I'd think the two would meet each other outside of work. LL would ask him out on a date and the whole catastrophe would happen and it's canon here bc I loved it. Eventually, Lasko and LL would meet when he's signing up FL for a mercenary job that has an extra spot needed (hehehe get where I'm going?). So basically they both find out that they partake in the same craft and Lasko starts helping LL. After a while, FL finds out and goes on a few missions with LL and allows them to join their group.
So yea- I'm sorry this was such a long post, I will post parts two and three later, but most likely tomorrow and Thursday. Then I'll take a break and post day 4 on Saturday.
This wasn't as late as I'd thought it'd be so that's good I guess lol.

Helluva Boss S2 E7 Reaction Notes
I finally watched the latest episode of Helluva Boss, and I wrote down my thoughts and reactions during. Here they are.
Warning: Contains spoilers to the episode
Thoughts as I watch:
-I wondered what Mammon’s voice would be…Cockney was NOT on my list of expectations. Wow. XD (Edit after rewatch: I think it’s actually Australian…thickly Australian. I could be wrong but it sounds either Cockney or Australian now I rewatched it.)
-Huh, Fizz and Blitz were fans of him when they were young…
-Only in Hell does anyone actually WANT to be a clown. XD
-Weird how Blitzo is so weirded out by Mammon’s pitch about working with him…though actually Blitzo really wanted to run his own circus, so maybe that’s why.
-I love how obvious this guy is. XD The jabs being made at corporate bosses here through this asshole’s whole character so far…they’re terrible at lying, yet people believe it anyway
Blitzo is all of us that caught onto the bullshit. XD This episode is so great already.
-Going for the jugular with that “women just aren’t funny” line. XD 1.) the show is by a woman. And 2.) …yeah. Most of them really aren’t funny to me. XD I know that probably wasn’t the joke (women comedians aren’t funny…), and we obviously aren’t supposed to like him, but yeah.
But also the “written by Vivienne Medrano” credit, AKA Vivziepop herself I think. That was great. XD
-“it’s not weird. You’re weird!” “It’s not exploitation” Exactly what Hollywood says now to anyone being critical of their stuff. Seriously, first South Park and now this…bravo adult comedy people. Just bravo.
Also playing an electric guitar version of “Carmen” I think it is. XD Even more clever, as that song was about how shady and manipulative that woman was if I remember right.
-…weird to hear adult Blitzø’s voice on his teenage self. Though I guess he went through puberty already. lol And I think Fizz’s adult voice is partially because of the fire accident.
-And now taking a jab at the entitled fans out there that aren’t giving constructive criticism and are demanding things then being all butthurt when they’re rejected. Finally an episode I fully get the social commentary on. lol
-$69.99 Subtle. Very subtle. XD (and “no refunds: if you don’t like it, it’s your fault”)
-I LOVE Ozzie here. You go man! Yeah he has his flaws too, even as a demon…but he is so sweet and so honest with Fizz it’s great. I also love the message here about both being a perfectionist…and being a people-pleaser. Destroying yourself to especially please someone that doesn’t give a fuck about you…because you think that gives you your worth. Especially after his accident… I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I’ll see where things go.
-Asmodeus calling Blitzø…somehow the most bizarre thing on the show yet. XD And how Blitzø is perfectly chill about it. Well I know for one, Blitzø knows about Fizz and Ozzie’s relationship and is happy his friend is happy…but I think this is also more evidence Blitzø wasn’t that upset at being picked on by Oz, and instead by being called out by his ex-friend, ex-girlfriend, and Stolas acting ashamed of their own relationship (which is transactional only he thinks…)
But he is at least a little polite when talking to Ozzie. lol So that’s nice.
-…the horse thing. He is STILL on the horse thing. Oh my gosh.
-Vivzie and her team are treating us to so much great stuff lately! First Stolas and Ozzie working together, and now Blitzø and Ozzie. This is comedy gold! Also Ozzie’s happy smile at the end of that scene when Blitzø said yes. Why are all these bird demons so cute? XD
-First, I still love Ozzie’s theme music (it’s the song from his debut episode) and second, cool to see his less flashy, public appearance in other parts of hell look from that first episode he’s in too. It looks really good on him.
And it’s cool seeing a Deadly Sin icon being more subtle outside of his ring. Makes me wonder what Bee looks like when she’s trying not to steal the show.
-Eh spoke too soon on Blitzø and Ozzie teaming up. Ozzie left, but I understand why.
-More jabs at Hollywood and their harmful treatment of their stars through Mammon calling an already incredibly thin Fizz fat
-Huh that rock music…I know I’ve heard it in the show before. I think this IS the Greed ring’s music…but I can’t remember.
-I figured one rescue and hug wouldn’t fix everything…but Fizz clearly no longer hates Blitzø and vice versa, and they are friends again it looks like. But I wonder if Fizz still has anxiety about Blitzø being at a performance of his…or maybe he’s just suspicious because Blitzø has always been openly critical of Mammon and these shows.
-“Smile inside and out”…I’m surprised Fizz doesn’t have depression like Stolas…
-Interesting how the background demons in this scene are just silhouettes. I don’t know if that’s to emphasize how he’s this colorful entertainment prop and toy for them and they represent real world fans…or if it was to save on work load
-Ooh these girls (the twin performers) look like they’re from the Envy ring (Leviathan’s ring) by the fish-like look of them
-I used to find Fizz annoying…but seeing him in the last episode and this one, he’s more like Moxxie. Too nice for this world when it comes to one-on-one conversation with the way he was so polite to those contest participants
-Oh yeah! Mammon said women aren’t funny. XD Ha! I thought that was just a joke for the opening, but he actually called back to it
To be honest I didn’t think any of their acts were funny though. Just cool acrobatics and talented crafting
-More “clearly the money-greedy corporate bosses don’t care about you, their stars, or anything but what sells”.
-I know people will still find reasons to hate this episode, but I find it hard to think of anything they could hate without really reaching for something
Actually…they’ll probably complain that Mammon-who is fat-is an asshole and they made him fat because of it…when really, I think it represents the greed thing. He’s supposed to be the stereotype of those fat business men in old cartoons and movies. But as a jester. (Edit: And because spiders have big abdomens)
(Edit after looking through the Helluva Boss tag seeing the nitpicks and complaints: Called it. And a few other things they really zeroed in on just to find something to hate about this. 🙄)
-Giant hellhound background character…was not expecting that. XD
-Fuck…they didn’t have to include that moment with the sign language. But they did…that’s so sweet
Though seeing that kid’s horns…I wonder if their horns also act as their ears? Because his are broken… or maybe he’s mute, not deaf, but Fizz still signed back (despite being exhausted, miserable, and wanting to win this and go home I bet) to show that kid deaf or not, that he took the time to learn for demons like that kid. (Edit: I rewatched it and the kid only had one broken horn in the later scene he’s in. …and I forgot Fizz’s horns are also broken but he can hear just fine…so ignore this theory from when I was watching…)
-…oh my gosh. The entitled fan is back now. This is absolutely commentary on both Hollywood and the Twitter freaks. So good.
-Entitled Fan remembers Blitzø too? Huh.
-Mammon’s 8 eyes…NOW all the webs around the place make sense. And all I can say is YES. Perfect design for the demon of GREED to have spider themes to him. It makes me think of Slughorn from Harry Potter, who was envisioned as a spider spinning his web representing his habit of collecting and exploiting the success of graduating students.
-Fizz making excuses for a shitty boss…also way too real...
-Again…seeing the twins’ performance, clowns must mean something else in this world. That wasn’t funny. It was cool though.
-Ozzie’s back! Yes! He’s so sweet to Fizz…and getting stuck in the door. XD
-Fizz is every famous person that is losing popularity to new things…the ones that cling onto it desperately instead of bowing out with dignity and what they have left…
-I know how Fizz feels here too…feeling he only has all the good things he does because of his fame...he thinks because he doesn’t look as great without it, that he’ll lose his relationship with Ozzie…
But man this couple is so healthy with each other. They try to be very private and secretive (and fail) which is straining, but they communicate with each other and they don’t allow for room for any misunderstandings…I hope we see more Bee and Tex too in the future (Bee might need a new VA if Ke$ha is still dealing with things or too expensive to hire) but these two couples will I hope play a part in Blitzø and Stolas’s drama with how they’ve shown they are in love with low-class demons as well…
Though Goetia are very different from the Deadly Sins…they isolate themselves from the lower class, while the Sins thrive on their company since they feed off their energy or it helps business and stuff.
-Oh my gosh, another Fizzmodeus song! Yes! And the adorable dance…man…I love these two! 💜
-Thank you, Blitzø! The entitled fan guy has been asking for it! And yes. You tell Fizzmodeus off for being hypocrites. XD He has every right to be mad after they bullied his friends. XD
-Oh man I see why the broadway version on Beetlejuice is Fizz now! That was an amazing song! Also Ozzie helping him. XD And getting…a bit more excited than he should. Hilarious. And Blitzø’s part helping too! This trio was awesome!
-The way the cheering kids track plays when Mammon appears in front of Fizz. XD I didn’t notice that until now.
-Yes! Get him Ozzie! Fight! Fight! Fight! Two Deadly Sins in their full power forms! Yes!
-Oh my gosh, the con artist Imp saying ‘I say I say’ again. XD He keeps showing up!
-Ozzie’s animal sound effects…so cool! And the twisting, lashing tails…I love how all-out they go with him being a mix of three animals! Cause Asmodeus apparently is described as having three heads (hence the two shadow heads in his mane) and this design shows that so well! I love it!
-Yeah I think Fizzmodeus being open will help a lot in several things. Including upper class demons getting their heads out of their asses about this stuff.
-This final frame is perfect! XD
Tumblr media
Basically I loved this episode. It was so fun and I loved the worldbuilding seeing the leader of the Greed ring, and of course Fizzmodeus being adorable as always! 💜
I do think clown has a different meaning in Hell…but we did only see some of what they did. Most of the humor for me was definitely in the social commentary stuff. And as this is a show for adults…that is what you expect. Jokes about adult problems and mature themes. I got exactly what I was expecting from it.
