My summarized thoughts on season 2B after the trailer

The Full Moon

I think this episode will mostly just be character interactions with a double cliffhanger ending, IMP getting in trouble and the royal hearing with the Sins and Goetia to address Stol-ass being a fucking bellend, so he's also in deep shit.

Apology Tour

Directly continuing from TFM, Blitz seeks help from Fizz in the midst of the crisis and IMP become temp staff Ozzie's factory. It all goes wrong and a fight with a robot made of factory equipment follows.

There's also interaction with Blitz and Verosika early on, which leads to Stol-ass having Verosika and Tex help him put on a performance to "apologize" to Blitz.

Ghostfuckers

Blitz and Millie somehow end up being hired as ghost hunters by a sleazy hotel owner who's actually the ghost and runs the hotel to have a steady supply of people to torment.

I think this episode will mostly be an excuse to explore the lore of "What if a sinner went to Earth via a portal?", with some emotional bits as the hotel owner tries getting at the imp's psychologically as well as physically.

Mastermind

After the hotel owner is defeated and sent back to Hell, the agents get reports of the disappearance of, what everyone nearby believed to be, a normal person.

They investigate and try to trap the imps, but catch the cherubs instead and then team up with them to attack IMP.

Sinsmas

The verdict on the hearing from TFM is in and Stol-ass loses everything, he tries to get Via to go against the verdict and come with him, and to abandon Stella and Andre. But after a big climactic fight with Andrealphus, it turns out Octavia rightfully wants nothing to do with her sad shitsack of a father and the season ends on a "all is lost" moment for him.

I let my Stolas hate shine a lot more here than I would've liked, but I just can't help it, he's the one issue I have with the series on the whole!

Random things I'm wondering/thinking about after Apology Tour: Tex's situation/feelings

Like was he helping Verosika with bg vocals for the song because of his job? Orrr is it a reference/forshadowing that the two are 'in sync' in general? It'd be cool if the two were legit friends now after working together for so long!

Or could it be due to Tex just not being a Blitzø fan in general why he's invested in his boss's party? The few times they've interacted he got into a shitty fight with his new friend, and then 'crashed' the party HE invited his friend to and then made an ass of himself and challenged his girlfriend in a weird 'penis measuring' way. With all this it wouldn't shock me that Tex just straight up doesn't like Blitzø at all.

(Honestly I hope he and Verosika are legit friends that would be so cool)

[darkmasterofcupcakes]

I've seen two possible names for the Loona x Vortex x Bee poly ship and I love both, so I'm curious to see which one is more popular.

hey! i’m an INFP bisexual transman here for a matchup:) i can be kind of awkward at first, but after a bit i love opening up and talking about my special interests and getting to know people; talking about music and media, showing them my art or writings, and just sharing a space. i like to make people laugh and am down to hit the club or just chill with a comfortable night in. i have my own share of trauma and anxieties that im trying to work through. i’d say i have a grunge aesthetic but im also definitely a nerd, too. just a dude who’s vibin’ and trying to get by. thanks for doing these matchups, they’re so fun!

Matchup

I pair you with…

~ I’m glad you like these matchups!! They’re feeding my hyperfixation and I reallyyy missed writing!! Anyway!

~ Okay, I can see you and Ozzie being so compatible.

~ Firstly, he really appreciates art. The best person to be a proofreader, or see a finished art piece. He’s not only so appreciative, he’ll give specifics on what he likes. “This was super successful here,” is a common phrase he’ll use before going on to elaborate. Anyway, he doesn’t just say he likes something, he says what he likes and why in great detail.

~ Ozzie helps you navigate your traumas and anxieties healthily. He really puts work into understanding this part of you, removing all triggers as best he can, and he’s super open to listening to you vent.

~ You understand his energy. You’re seen going to clubs and public outings with him, while also domestic enough to appreciate simple dates at home, like making a nice dinner and starting a new tv series. Ozzie just digs that you’re able to understand both sides of him; his party side, and his domestic side.

~ This all makes me think you guys would make a great friends to lovers trope. You understand Ozzie, and he shows that he understands you.

I pair you with…

~ I’m not sure why. But you know that one trope where’s there’s a dude whose special interest is their partner?? Cherri Bomb to you. I won’t elaborate on this, because I don’t know how, but I’m confident in this trope here. I’m not sure how but I am.

~ I feel like Cherri’s one of those people to be really into like having art in her apartment. You make anything? It’s on her fridge or wall. She loves everything you make.

~ Loves hearing about your special interests, and will get into them too so she understands you better. You mention a fandom? She’s googling ships while you talk. “Ohhh these ones look hot, who are these two?”

~ I feel like while she’s definitely a partier, I’ve said this before, she loves being all domestic and winding down at the end of the night. Cuddle pile with a blanket and pillow nest!!

~ Loves taking you out so she can show you off.

~ Definitely someone who appreciates music and media. Keeps up to date with popular things and her own niches. Cherri would love not only hearing you talk about your interests, but bring her own into play and be just super excited to talk about music. She’s someone who loves not only music and media, but appreciates the artists behind it, I bet she’s the type to have notifications set for news outlets that regularly cover updates on her favourites.

I pair you with…

~ Introvert adopted by extrovert trope!!

~ Vortex loves awkward. Will listen to you talk about your hyper fixations and be genuinely invested. Will also hit you with questions to elaborate so he can really get an idea of what you’re putting out. Pleasantly surprised when you begin to open up.

~ Will take you to parties, outings with friends, etc. He’s more a casual boyfriend, less sweep you off your feet and more peaceful coexistence. Love language is definitely quality time.

~ Regarding traumas and anxieties, Vortex is the best person to help you practically forget about them. If he notices you’re having a bad day and need a pick me up, he effortlessly cheers you up so well it’s hard to even realize he’s doing it. Distracts you with all of your favourite things, drinks, snacks, movies or shows, you name it.

~ Vortex lets you choose when you’re ready to vent or need to share, but until then, he effortlessly ensures that you’re always happy. Despite his casual demeanour, he’s always someone who just takes to people really well, especially you.

Alternate pairing…

REDEMPTION ROUNDS! LET'S GO!

[thatguywhodoesstuff]

After creating my Golden Goose fan kid, Merch, I found myself overcome with a lot of ideas for fan kids of the other Sins (barring some exceptions). While I had some trepidations sharing them, talking with @prof-ramses about Merch has helped give me the confidence to make this post, even if I don’t do much with these characters later on.

Like last time, ideas are under the cut.

Ignacio “Iggy” Chakal. Satan’s only child. Iggy came about from a night of passion between the King of Wrath and a jackal demon on the night of one fateful Harvest Moon Festival. Iggy is in many ways the opposite of his father, being a rather willowy and lethargic gamer, in contrast to his father being a mountain of muscle and a semiretired warlord. Personality wise, Iggy is completely apathetic and disinterested with anything that isn’t on a screen and typically reacts with passive aggression whenever someone tries to actually engage with him. His games of choice are Rust style online multiplayers and when he isn’t playing those, he’s either creating discourse online, inciting flame wars, or trolling & doxxing people. Satan for his part actually tries to engage with his son and be a supportive father, albeit maybe a bit too enthusiastically, but Iggy just doesn’t care enough to give his dad the time of day.

The Pups (Bernadette, Beatrix, Beckett, Belladonna, & Debbie). Bee and Vortex’s quintuplet daughters. The Pups are all rather varied in terms of appearance, with Beatrix being the most canine in appearance, while Debbie is an anthropomorphic bee (Bernadette, Beckett, & Belladonna are more or less even blends of both features). As for individual personalities, they each sort of personify traits of both parents, Bernadette=irreverent party girl, Beatrix=stoic & takes no shit, Beckett=strong protective drive, Belladonna=natural born performer, & Debbie=emotionally aware & caring. Despite how varied their personalities are, The Pups can actually work in tandem with one another with no issue, often doing so without uttering a single word. While Vortex took to being a dad as if it were second nature, Bee was, and still is, stressed about becoming a parent out of fear that her lifestyle would make her ill equipped at raising her daughters.

Drawing from a previous idea me and @prof-ramses discussed, Ozzie is on record for not desiring any children because they’d “just tie him down”. This is ironic because A. Ozzie has already unknowingly conceived a number of kids throughout his long existence & B. as the other Sins can attest, this is the exact same thing Ozzie said about entering a committed relationship. Fizz meanwhile is on record for being open to having a kid one day.

Sock & Buskin. Leviathan’s twin sons. It’s left ambiguous whether or not the twins are adopted or not. For that matter, it’s not clear which is the older of the two or if “Sock” and “Buskin” are nicknames. Both of them can be described as theater kids, although Sock is a scrawny theater goth & Buskin is a burly theater jock. The two resent each other for what the other has (Buskin’s physicality & Sock’s intelligence respectively) and both are generally just difficult to be around. A unique ability the twins possess is the ability to combine into a form reminiscent of Vilitch the Curseling. They hardly ever use this ability given their inability to get along and cooperate. Leviathan does legitimately love his boys and desires to be the best parent he can be (partly to one up the other Sins), but his parenting style is unfortunately near identical to the way he runs his publication, resulting in his sons constantly fighting one another for his affection.

Subject: BEL/BAP - 03/Junior. Belphegor & Baphomet’s son. Rather than waste valuable work time and resources doing things the old fashioned way, Bel created Junior by taking genetic samples from herself and Baph, while also implementing some from a few “willing donors” to fill in gaps left by the mutations in her genes. Junior was incubated and left to develop in a bacta tank until he reached puberty, with automated recordings and audio logs serving as his only means of education and exposure to the outside world. Junior combines the best features of his parents as well as a few traits from the other genetics sources Bel integrated, such as feathers and extra eyes. Personality wise, Junior takes heavily from his father, while also being something of a mirror to Charlie. That is to say, while Charlie is an ambitious dreamer who wants to change the world, Junior is an unmotivated philosopher who likes to while away the hours contemplating such things as lint drifting in the wind. While Baph is unfailingly patient with Junior and gently tries to push him to be more driven, Bel is quickly losing patience and is rather insistent about him getting a proper job and moving out.

Bee is really the most evil, when you think about it - written by a Mammon kinnie

Now, I know this is gonna read like me being a Mammon apologist (because I am) but this is something I've been meaning to bring to light for a while now. I believe that Beelzebub is the most evil Sin, at least of the ones we've seen so far.

Bee might seem very approachable and friendly, but this is exactly what makes that much worse than she otherwise would be.

The main thing here is the hellhound pound system, which is, at least in my eyes, the most horrific piece of worldbuilding we've gotten in the series. An entire sentient species being treated like pets and kept in squalled conditions within a framework created and overseen by their ruler and likely creator, someone who is for all intents and purposes, their god.

Thought not confirmed, it's implied hounds that age out of the system are just straight up euthanized. Again, this has yet to be confirmed, but it definitely doesn't help Beelze's case.

And what exactly becomes of Gluttony-born hellhounds who survive the pounds and get adopted? Why their love bombed with parties where their "benevolent" mistress uses their positive emotions to make a substance that can form dependency in demons the way alcohol can in humans just so she's even better off. Either that or they end up adopted by someone who just uses them as expendable muscle.

At this point I'm sure someone is saying that Mammon is still worse, and they'll likely point to the general state of Greed, being a polluted over-industrialized mess. But this just raises another point in my favor.

Unlike Mammon, who's upfront about only caring about his citizens' money, Bee puts on the persona of being a ruler of the people, not above them. She makes Gluttony seem so idyllic while also basing a contender for Hell's most deplorable enterprise out of it.

Beelzebub is such an adept manipulator that she gets Loona to come out of her shell, when Loona's closed of nature was spawned from her trauma that Bee's pounds are responsible for in the first place! For all we know, this also applies to Vortex, I mean, something had to blind him in one eye, perhaps a fight with a former cellmate?

And worst of all, she herself doesn't seem consciously aware of it, she may genuinely see nothing wrong with the conditions her subjects live in, likely because she judges their quality of life based on their "vibes" at her parties.

I just want to end this saying that I don't hate Bee, nor do I think Vivienne intended for people to infer these things, knowing her, it's likely she just didn't fully consider the implications while writing. But it is still a valid interpretation of Beelzebub's character based on what we presently know about her.

[cipher-club]

You forgot to mention your girlfriend was FUCKING beelzebub, Vortex! And she seems pretty chill and great and pretty open about the fact she's dating a hellhound too.....good for him 😌

[fizzbot]

ok im not sure if anyones pointed this out yet, but this is a helluva boss sticker pack that just recently released. its very possible that it means absolutely nothing........but is it possible that these are hints to upcoming shorts???? (personal rambles and theories under the read more)

these all seem really random. which wouldnt be out of the norm for helluva merch, usually its just an assortment of random characters doing random things. but with the fact that we now know that we'll be getting shorts, and the fact that these all seem like very specific scenarios, i think its plausible that these are hints for things that might be upcoming.

the cherubs being here is especially interesting, because we havent seen anything about them AT ALL since early season 1. we know theyll be making a return (presumibly in mastermind) but then why is the merch featuring these cherubs, and not collin, keenie, and cletus? i think its possible that well be getting a short set in heaven, specifically about these characters/perhaps in preparation to the release of mastermind.

as we know from hells belles, verosika will be going on a tour in pride, which presumably sets up apology tour. but in this art shes not in pride, shes in sloth. this is where we know the rehab center is. is it possible shell end up back in rehab/well get a flashback short about her time in there? potentially even some backstory with her and barbie??

the next one features bee, tex, and loona. i THINK it was confirmed somewhere (although i dont have a source) that well be seeing bee again this year, although i just assumed that would be in the finale. its possible that she, tex, and loona will be hanging out again in a short, which would be nice! ive also seen some theories/speculation that this specefic piece of merch might allude to the ship ""honeybunch"" (or bee x tex x loona) potentially becoming canon.

stolas and octavia sort of has me stumped. based on her lines in the trailer, it seems like octavia is still harboring some resentment, and this picture seems like a really sweet glimpse into their domestic life. honestly this feels so out of character for me that it almost made me throw my whole idea about these being potential shorts out the window. im sure they still do have nice moments like this, but i struggle to picture them happening since the only interactions weve seen them have have been negative. maybe therell be a short trying to rectify this? or this could be a pre-blitz flashback.

im partially hoping these are shorts JUST for this next one. i want striker to have a short so so bad. i have literally NO idea what it would be, though. i just wanna see more of him and bombproof :( zooming in on the picture, i did notice that 1) theyre back in wrath. 2) striker is polishing a (not-blessed) knife. and 3), he doesnt seem to be too injured from the escape in oops. although, interestingly, we only get to see the left side of his face. im pointing this out, because in oops, when the explosion occurs, the shot of the fire zooming towards strikers face is a direct parallel to the shot of the fire zooming towards BLITZ face. i think it would be REALLY sick if they ended up with matching burn scars.

finally, moxxie and his mom. this is the piece that gave me this idea in the first place, just because it seems so incredibly random. i cannot even imagine a place where she would come back, if not a flashback short that delves deeper into his childhood. where else would she fit in this whole season? its possible that he has another flashback in the show, but the trailer seems REALLY focused on stolas and (especially) blitzs past, so it feels slightly unlikely. it makes sense that theyd get a whole short dedicated just for them.

idk, maybe im WAYYYY off. i just think it would be nice to get some time away from the main cast in their current states for a while and these seem like some of the best ways to do it
