Helluva Boss Season Finale

So a homophobic client shows up and tells IMP to kill her husband for leaving her for a man and cheating (possibly.) IMP attempt to try and kill him but then Blizto can't do it cause of his feefees and cause he sees himself in that man. Forget that Blizto has killed many people for petty reasons before (Spring Broken is a good example, he literally killed tons of random people, many of which were probably gay, just because of a bet) and forget that he chastised Moxxie for doing the exact same thing (weird how Mox didn't bring that up honestly) NO, you can't criticize this gay man because he's so cute and gay. That's the message Viv is sending.

The moral of this episode is that if you criticize Stolas and Blizto's relationship, you're homophobic. Wowww... Just wow!

It couldn't possibly be because these two have absolutely no chemistry and only know eachother because of sex. It couldn't possibly be because Stolas made a creepy and predatory deal with Blizto. It couldn't possibly be because Stolas is a terrible person who lied to his daughter and is written terribly. Forget that Stolas risked his life for his fuck buddy when he should have stayed with his daughter. Forget that Blizto never wanted a serious relationship until now just because that's what the writers want. Forget everything I said and just sit back and watch Blizto and Stolas dance on the balcony since it's the only thing Viv cares about.

Stolizt is the only thing Viv cares about. That's what this episode proves once and for all. Their relationship is the only thing that had any meaningful continuity in season 1. Everything else was episodic material.

Maybe in Season 3 we'll focus on other things but it won't make up for the trainwreck of a Season this was.

Now, because I don't just want to be negative, let me talk about how this Season could have been 1000 times better. Let me offer a fix.

This Season would have been great if it split it's screen time 70-30 between the IMP stuff and the Stolas stuff. Let every member of IMP shine in their own episode. It's not like there isn't enough time. Explore Millie's prejudice against Hellhounds (cause we all know she doesn't respect Hellhounds.) Explore Millie's wrath and how it might help and hinder her. It might lead to devastating consequences depending on who she chooses to fight and why. Shoot first and ask questions later is not a good principle and I feel like that's exactly what she does. Have Loona and Via actually hang out! Show us how her timidness and introversion make that relationship start off rocky. Show us how she changes from a person who can barely hold a conversation in the Queen Bee episode to a person that would have a bunch of friends over for Sinsmas. That development WAS. NOT. THERE!!

Have Moxxie actually confront his fears. It looked like he was about to fight his dad but then he got tazed and his wife did all the work. Why? Have him stand up to Blizto finally and make Blizto respect him. Cause Blizto does not respect him. Look at the way he talks to him in Season 2 and tell me this is respectful. Plus, in the episode Truth Seekers he only congratulated Moxxie for killing well. That's it. He respects the work he does but not who he is as a person. That could have been explored in Season 2. That would have been a great arc.

As for Blizto show more of his relationship between him and his sister. Blizto brought Barbie up again in the finale and it sounds like they really want us to care about her character but she wasn't even in the flashback episode. In order to fix the flashback episode, get rid of Stolas! Don't make a flashback that includes Stolas at all. Just make it about life in the circus performing with Blizto, Barbie and Fizz.

And instead of a giant special episode about Fizz and his terrible boss how about an episode dedicated to Stolas and Via's relationship. Why not write a song about how they've lived their lives over the years. Show us what it was like to BE her.

I'm getting tired of writing now. I hope you enjoyed reading this, at least a little.

POLYBIUS!TURBO

hey guys so I finally actually made an au instead of just saying I was gonna make one

i drew this on my phone with my finger on ibis paint x cuz it's 1am in the morning and I'm too eepy to go to my computer but I had to draw this idea I had

tomorrow morning I'll probably make a better ref sheet 🙏

more lore below 👇

After the roadblasters incident, turbo decided that attempting to take over a racing game would be too obvious. He needed the eyes back on him, but didn't want to risk unplugging anymore games. Instead of sugar rush, he decided to take over Polybius. by the mid to late 80s, Polybius was already supposed to be phased out. the government was furious that one cabinet had managed to stay in circulation for so long. once they got to Litwak's Arcade, they discovered an anomaly in the program that was like no other cabinet of Polybius: a being inside the machine. a boss level that was in no other copy of the game. it was seemingly alive, sentient, mocking those who lost. it adored the attention it got, lines upon lines of children rushing to play, unable to take their eyes off the screen. brutal fights broke out over the game. turbo thought this was brilliant. he didn't know (at first) or care about the games psychoactive and addictive properties, the fact this game was all an MK Ultra experiment. all he cared about was the attention he was getting. The more he lived within the game, the more... nefarious effects of Polybius become intertwined within his code. No one even questioned why or how this character was in the game all of a sudden. Barely anyone even got far enough in Polybius before he was a part of it. eventually, the 90s roll around, and the government came to Litwak's and repossessed the cabinet. now the CIA has this one specific Polybius cabinet in top secret storage. day in and day out they attempt to communicate with the anomaly, which is now festering with hate. the attention was taken from him once again, now living a life constantly under the magnifying glass by these higher beings. and this time he's not going to let any of them get away with it.

I FINALLY WATCHED SONIC MOVIE 3 AND OH MY GOD IT’S SOOO GOOOOOODDD!!!!!

THE STORYTELLING, THE CHARACTERS, THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS, AND THE 3RD ACT!!!! AMAZING!! IT’S SO GOOD, I HAVE A BLAST OF WATCHING THIS MOVIE AGAIN BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING!

Spoilers of my thoughts⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hero story:

- Sonic had such a great character development in this movie when you put the 1st and 2nd movie together, and it shows on how changed and how he learns something from himself. That scene when he argues with Knuckles about how he wants to get the Master Emerald to fight Shadow is great. And i love how in that same scene, Knuckles knows that violence is not the answer, sonic shouldn’t have that much rage on him, even though after what Shadow did to Tom (i’ll talk about that later). This movie also shows you that Knuckles’ characteristics has gotten some development, when you compare how he acts in the 2nd movie and the spin-off show. And i still love that even though Tails and Knuckles agree what sonic is doing, he’s still family.

Villain story:

- I can finally talk about Shadow. Oh boy, he’s so good in this movie. He’s so well written in this movie. From his backstory and his villainy. His backstory with Maria are great, i love seeing Maria rollerskating around the G.U.N, including that she’s not even afraid of Shadow; instead she sees him as a little guy that she wants to be friends. AND THE MONTAGE WITH THEM IN THE BASE AJAKDJEJSMNDJSKSJDJDKSJDJSKDJ💕💞💓💗💖💘💝THEY’RE SO CUTE. This movie made me feel bad for both them😭. I never get to mention Eggman, Gerald, and stone in this movie. It’s interesting to see Gerald in this movie, it’s the first we get to see him having more interactions with Shadow and Eggman than in the Games; and i love seeing Jim Carrey playing both Gerald and Eggman at the same time, seeing the duality of both characters and how he acts as them. And man…poor Stone, he deserves better. This man has to watch his own boss anouncing a heartfelt message to him as a goodbye, and that’s just for so sad for Stone losing Eggman for the 3rd time again😭. And never get to mention his interaction with Tails and shadow in the movie because i really like that scene it’s really cute, i love seeing Tails talking about him and Eggman are friends, and Stone’s interaction with Shadow by BABYSITTING HIM DHJSJSHDHEJDNNDHDNDNDJDJD SO CUTE!!!!!!

(Other)Human characters[Tom and Maddie, G.U.N]:

- I really do like how get to see Tom and Maddie being part of Team Sonic’s mission compared to the 2nd movie. Their scene together at the house so cute, the little puppet that tom’s puppet is cute as hell, bonus the donut sweater. I still think their scenes in the G.U.N base is okay cause i really don’t mind it .And that scene where Tom is disguising himself as Commander Walters to get the key has to be a great scene for a character like him and how he cares about what Sonic is trying to do; 10/10 scene. And i like Walters’ role in this movie. I love he’s just a really nice G.U.N employee during the backstory scenes, and i love how he’s trying to be a good person by stopping a G.U.N soldier to shoot (except it explodes some gas’ that led to Maria’s); he seems like the movie equivalent of Abraham Towers, except he’s less intimidating than Towers. I wish we get more character of Agent Rockwell, i really do think she has some potential in the movies. Her last appearance is when Tom Disguises himself as Walters, then she just leaves and never to be seen again. I wish he had more because i might expect her as Agent Topaz from sonic X (except she’s a lot meaner than Topaz).

Stuff’s that made me cry:

- hooo…i am so ready to say some of list of stuff’s that made cry in this movie. The backstory with Maria and Shadow is so heartwarming and cute, i love seeing them being literal kids playing kids stuff and cause a ruckus, and i just wanted to inhale and exhale being how cute and sad it is at the same time. And yes, i did cry when Tom was sent to the hospital, because before that scene, Shadow almost killed Tom without knowinb it’s actually him. Sonic comes into the scene and i knew it Sonic will get so much rage on Shadow, and Shadow sees Sonic and Tom to himself and Maria; like i knew it, i knew that scene will come and I JUST WANT TO TAKE BREAK. And again, Eggman’s announcement to Stone is so sad because Eggman finally felt betrayed after what Gerald is doing. And now he’s making a message for stone and then referencing his line from the 1st movie🙁.

Post credit scene:

- I’m excited to say this. Let’s talk about the post credit scene from the very end. We already know, shadow is alive, of course he is still alive, we saw it in the games. But man…the first post credit scene. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH METAL SONIC IS HERE I CAN’T BELIEVE IT BUT I KNEW IT HE’S GONNA BE IN THE MOVIE. AND MY BEST GIRL AMY AHHHHHHH SHE FINALLY GETS WHAT SHE DESERVES AHHHHHHHH FINALLY FINALLY YESSSSSSSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHH AND HER IN A HOODIE ASWELL, AND HER PINK LIGHT AND HAMMER, AND HER BEATING EVERY SINGLE METAL SONIC’S JUST TO SAVE SONIC’S LIFE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Merry Christmas Sinsmas Everyone!

Spoilers under read more! Don't click unless you've seen the episode.

Blitz... You and you're fucking horses.... I love you though.

I still don't get why all the other imps are shit talking and dirty eyeing Stolas. Giving him the stink eye, spitting in his food, you imps don't understand like us Helluva Boss fans do!!!

This was the first time I.M.P choose not to kill a target, and I think they did the right thing. It's wrong to cheat on someone, But in this case, the man kinda had a good reason to.

Stolas might start working for I.M.P in season 3; As we were all expecting to happen.

Karen go YEET!

Octavia finally getting a song of her own! The song (I Will Be Okay) apparently was written the same time as (You Will Be Okay) from season 1 episode 2. Which means the song was in the safety vault for like 2 or 3 maybe 4 years?

The relationship between Stolas and Blitz has finally been resolved into the true love we've all been wanting them to have. No longer sexmates, Now they are soulmates! They do truly love eachother for how they are.

I bet you season 3 is going to have three major story arcs: Stolas's relationship with his daughter Octavia, Blitz with his sister Barbie Wire, And Millie eventually have to tell Moxie that she's-

PREGNANT!!! WE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT OR SAW IT COMING!!! WHAT WILL THIS DO TO M+M!!! WILL MILLIE HAVE TO QUIT I.M.P? WILL MOXIE BE HAPPY TO LEARN HE WILL BE A FATHER? OR WILL IT BE THE OPPOSITE?

This is a dark thought, but with Millie's fighting skills and her troublemaking habits (especially on the job), would that make it a likely chance that she could have a miscarriage? I don't think it will happen, I'm just worried about her.

I CAN BE WORRIED ABOUT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER! SO WHAT?!?!

"HEY ELSA!" I can't believe bro got away with that!

LOONA HAS A FUCKING DEMON FORM!!! I DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING! I didn't even know hellhounds had that ability. It makes me wonder if imps can do that to.

I wish we could have heard Millie and Sallie May's conversation on the phone. After the short with the two of them hanging out together and us getting to know more about their relationship, it makes since that the first person Mills would talk to about her pregnancy is her sister.

I can see Sallie may as a very understanding and comforting supporter, and I can't see her spilling the beans to the rest of the family. Maybe the SpindleHorse crew didn't have time to, but I still wish we could have at least known what Sallie May said.

I can't wait to see wait crazy bullshit will go down in the next season when it eventually releases in maybe 2025 or 2026. Because, the crew is also working in Hazbin Hotel seasons 2, 3 and 4 at the same time. The longer it takes, the better the show will be! So, I shall be patient.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

[calissarowan]

how do you think the wizards would interact with the other villains? I esp need to know how they would get along (or not) with selina

Alrighty! Let’s do this!

Icy: The Trix come as individuals. It bugs me when they get judged as a group. She and Ogron would butt heads right away. They both want to destroy the Winx, or whatever it is they’re doing, but they don’t want to do it together. If either one tries to start saying something to do with a plan, the other will cut them off. In the end, it devolves into insults and name calling. Anagan just has to calm Ogron down and mediate. He’s probably unsuccessful. She and Gantlos get along fine; if they’re teaming up, then they find that their powers work well together. Icy creates ice walls, and Gantlos shatters them to fire the shards at their enemies. Duman’s just helping Ogron argue. And following Icy around with a hairdryer until he winds up as a popsicle for an hour.

Darcy: Gantlos doesn’t trust this woman as far as he can throw a planet. He’s strong, he can throw most things a long way, had to go for a planet to make the saying work. She’s far too manipulative, and he doesn’t want her near him and his friends. She finds him frustrating because he just sees through all her manipulations. She and Anagan are both kinda flirty, so I think they’d get along okay, and probably banter back and forth quite a bit. She’s trying to manipulate him, he’s just having fun. She and Ogron are both trying to play the other, but actually get along pretty well when they have to take someone else down. Duman thinks it’ll be funny to screw with the queen of illusions, so he shifts into Icy for a day to find out all of Darcy’s secrets, and she’s ready to kill him when she finds out, but then realises these powers are actually pretty useful, and she won’t kill him if he’ll use them to help her screw with people.

Stormy: Thinks all of the wizards are kinda pathetic, frankly. The fact that they ran from so many of their fights…ugh, it makes her sick. They weren’t overpowered, they just left when they could have destroyed the Winx. It’s disappointing. Though she gives them props for the plan where they set the building on fire, that was badass. She’s only gonna listen to Icy, Ogron doesn’t get to try and boss her around, so if he tries, she will zap him. Eventually it just turns into her electrifying everything he touches and giving him static shocks, mostly because it’s funny. Duman knows, but doesn’t say anything because he also thinks it’s funny. He and Stormy get along pretty well, they like messing with the Winx, and she and Gantlos just break everything together. She thinks Anagan is boring, because he’s quite calm and doesn’t really do much, or lose it that easily, and she thinks a bad guy should have a much hotter temper and if your job on the team is to keep everyone calm, do you really need to be on it? So she ignores him, or tries to provoke him into snapping, because she wants to see that.

Darkar: He thinks the wizards are…fine. Not the greatest evil to come from his darkness, but has to give them credit for making Earth so miserable. He’d likely command them all immediately, which would tick Ogron off, because he’s the leader, not a bird insect bird man, but Darkar would have him aware of the power dynamic very quickly, and the wizards would serve him. Gantlos would be annoyed about being ordered around, probably start a fight, and Anagan is just trying not to rock the boat. Duman’s impressed with this guy’s power and his aesthetics, and wondering what he could do with them, while Ogron’s trying to take cues from the source of all evil so he can finally end his enemies. Maybe Darkar shows them how to be better villains, and helps them to overcome their remaining humanity, the compassion or care that keeps them from achieving their goals. They’d all be conflicted about that, because they’re evil, but they’re shades of grey rather than black and white, and so maybe in the end they forgo his teachings and have to give up evil in order to escape him.

Valtor: @devilheartsblog has a really cool au where the wizards wind up working for Valtor which I totally love, actually! I just thought I’d bring that up. Now…he and Ogron would definitely be competitive with each other, since they both sorta see themselves as the best (and the most dramatic). Valtor repeatedly hits Ogron with the argument that he almost took over the universe, while Ogron couldn’t take the wings from an untrained teenager. Valtor would also very much like to be in charge, and Ogron would very much like it if he was not, so there’s plenty of arguing over leadership. Anagan and him get along fine, but Anagan isn’t letting him try to edge out Ogron. Gantlos…kinda secretly thinks maybe Valtor might be good at leading? Just that their last plans have crashed and burned so much. Though they’d clash in a fight because Valtor wants to do this with finesse and thinking it through and Gantlos wants to punch everyone until the problem is solved. And Valtor just can’t with Duman, this man is too much for him, just leave him alone. In response Duman messes with him as much as humanly possible. He’s not his friend, he owes him no maturity.

Tritannus: I am not great with Tritannus, but I know someone who is, so I hope it’s okay, but I put this question to @tritannus, and here is his take: He would probably be closed off towards the wizards, refusing to even give them any glance mainly due to his experience with older male figures, mainly his father. He slowly warms up to Anagan first, being the most approachable. Duman might be next, but Tritannus would hate him sometimes whenever Duman taunts him with his mutant form. Gantlos is probably the third. It was clear Gantlos is kind of a protector for his friends in a sort of way. If they ever met, Tritannus would not want to even look at him, believing he would be the exactly the same as Neptune. To his surprise, anytime the wizard talked, he would open up without doubting. He probably would hate Ogron the most. Ogron has a plan for the Earth fairies, he somewhat refuses to listen to the other wizards, especially Gantlos (taken from canon episode ideas). He might just take up Duman’s offer in pranking the redhead.

Selina: Ogron likes this one. She’s smart, she’s got strong magic, and she’s pretty ruthless. Immediate student and mentor energy. He wants to know everything about her book, and she wants to know every dark spell he’s got. She’s heard all about them from Eldora, so she already thinks they’re cool, but she finds out that the stories of them being heartless and pure evil are kinda bull***t, and they do care about each other, and about her. She and Gantlos have some issues when he tries to teach her how to use her powers for brute force, since she prefers manipulating and tricking and sending her creatures to fight, and Gantlos dislikes the idea of hiding behind monsters, and thinks she has to be able to hold her own in a real fight. She and Duman screw with the Winx together, and she shows him new creatures he can shift into, and Anagan listens to her about all the problems that brought her to evil, like Bloom, and being pressured to be a fairy when she’s always been a witch.

Kalshara: All the wizards: “Who the hell is this sad Duman ripoff?” They have to admit she has a few decent moments, but they can all agree, she’s a disappointment. She can only turn into a few things, can’t even mask that it’s her, and Gantlos thinks she’s a coward for repeatedly hiding behind her brother and his magic rather than just time travelling for herself. Duman challenges her to a shapeshifting competition and wings two minutes in, Ogron tries to fix her Allan but gives up and Anagan is the only one actually being cordial. He still kinda thinks she sucks, though. And Kalshara actually also thinks they suck, because they couldn’t steal the wings from a kid, and they got frozen in Omega.

Brafillius: The sentiment from everyone is just…how has this guy stayed alive this long? He’s just something of an idiot, but his magic is surprisingly powerful. Ogron just ignores him because he can’t listen to him blather, and Gantlos and Anagan actually feel kinda bad for the guy, he just gets ignored and degraded repeatedly, despite having come through with actual results a few times. Gantlos tells him to just ditch Kalshara and do his own thing, trap the Winx in that hat of his, and Anagan gets the feeling he’s mostly just being evil for his sister, so tells him he doesn’t have to do this. Brafillius likes Gantlos and Duman the best, because they just kinda just…do whatever they want, and they get results and he wants to do that. He wants Ogron’s approval, since he blatantly dislikes him so much, but Ogron still thinks this is an idiot with a dumb hat, he’s avoiding that at all costs.

Obscurum: …I don’t have much for him, honestly, but here we go. He likes to act like he’s above them, and the wizards all just think this is a tiny weirdo with stupidly-named creatures. Duman takes hordes of Star Yummies to mess around with, then realises Obscurum, despite being tiny and kinda bad at naming stuff, is actually quite dangerous. Ogron is jealous this guy also has dark vortexes and teleportation, and Obscurum is a lot less meek with them than they’d expected. He’s like that with Valtor; to anyone else, he’s the servant of freakin’ Valtor! He’s the best! These guys should be bowing down and hoping his master doesn’t obliterate them!

[thearcherbrothersx]

Declan positioned himself squarely in the way of most curious eyes as Cora exited the car, shielding her as much as possible as she made tiny corrections to her attire. He remained quietly focused, inexpressive if not for the way his eyes scoured their surroundings attentively, her nerves tickling his consciousness even as she thanked Tim and the driver inclined his head in appreciation with a smile in return.

As soon as Cora left the makeshift safety of his shadow, there was a shift of her energy once again. He felt it as clearly as if it had knocked him upside the head, but he did not put up a fight when she all but became a whirlwind of red hair and fluttering velvet, dragging him along. He had yet to set up the parameters of their new relationship, and the difficulty of the situation considered, he decided to allow for some leeway.

And as such, when she finally stopped at the table, all he did was wait, using his free hand to adjust his tie. Back straight, he let his gaze scour the room, only a tiny curve at his lips, a subtle smile, to make him seem vaguely intimating as opposed to downright threatening. Then she spoke, and his eyes shifted back to her, still quiet for a bit, observing her mannerisms carefully.

Declan let out a low hum of agreement, just a sound to let her know that he was listening, really, but she was so much in her own little world of anxiety right now, he didn't say anything else. If she needed him to be a shadow right now, he could do that. But then she stopped herself, and Declan arched a brow slightly, mild smile appearing on the hard set of his lips. Without a word, he lifted their joined hands and placed a kiss on her knuckle, eyes still on hers, before lowering their hands slightly once more.

"I think, for the moment at least, my needs are secondary." His free hand cupped her face gently and he leaned in, pressing a kiss to her forehead this time. "You, however, need to calm down, love." He drew back slightly, and caught a glass of champagne from a passing server. He held it out to her, and as she took it, he leaned in a little closer yet, hand now settling on the side of her neck, his fingertips teasing her hairline as he spoke, voice low and controlled. "I want you to focus on me, angel, and the many, many things I might do to you once I have you alone tonight, at my mercy. You're mine now."

He paused, lips teasing the spine of her ear. "So when my fingers touch you tonight, I want to remember they will be the only ones to touch you. I want you to imagine everything you know they're capable of doing to you. How they make you moan, and whimper and whine for me - only me." He pressed a slow kiss to her cheek and drew back enough to look into her eyes. "Now, go ahead and take a sip of your champagne, my angel. Then take me to meet your boss."

"Yes, Sir." It flowed out easily, naturally, at his directive, Cora's cheeks going pink at the warning of his tone, though she wasn't really upset at all. For the first time that evening, she felt at ease. His reassurance allowed her to breathe a little, and the excitement of the agreement they'd just entered into had her all too distracted from what was waiting outside of the car for them. 

Taking his hand, Cora slipped out behind Declan, needing a moment to gather her clutch in her free hand, and to check her skirt to ensure it hadn't twisted up in the car or getting out. Taking a deep breath, she smiled at Tim, thanking him again. This wasn't a red carpet affair, but there were photographers outside trying to make their rent, so Cora was quick to head toward the door to escape the sounds and flashes. The motion was only made slightly awkward by the fact that she knew it wasn't her place to lead Declan. 

Inside was better, less chaotic than the front of the hotel, Cora giving their names at the entry to the ballroom, and being given a table number. There were hundreds of people here, and it felt relatively easy to get lost in this crowd. There were bars, a live band, and random entertainment (had she seen an acrobat from the entryway?) spattered throughout. Finally, after getting to the table, and placing her bag down, did she feel like she could think for a minute. Work. This was technically work. 

Through all of this moving, she had managed to keep their hands together, and Cora had let her fingers lace his, appreciating the tactile comfort of him being in this room. "Okay. We just need to find Jackson, say hi," She left off the thought about how she needed to pay the other man attention. The ease that had crept in was already trying to push away. She didn't belong in a room like this, with people like this. "It's fine." This was said to herself, breathing out a sigh before glancing around, catching a particularly loud crowd in a far corner. "He's probably wherever the most people are." 

Then she remembered herself, remembered her guest. Cora stopped fully, turning herself to him, her free hand laying flat against his chest. "But first you. What do you need?"

Introducing the hot new trend!

Boy failure, crybaby, murder gilf.

So how're you feeling after that final mission?

I'm not currently ok,but I will be.I just finished The Final Shape,so as I'm writing this, it's still fresh. I cried my eyes out for good long while.

I tagged this with spoilers, but for anyone without the tags blocked, spoilers below, you have been warned. (Go block your tags kiddos.)

It was a heartbreaking and a beautiful end to The Final Shape.It was well written and handled with grace and tact,and it evoked an emotional response in me, which in my opinion,is always a sign of good storytelling.

Cayde found his purpose he so desperately wanted, and he got to do so on his own terms.

Cayde will...quite literally always be there for my Guardian, just not in the original way I wanted or was expecting.

I knew what was going to happen the moment Cayde showed up in that final cutscene. He gave up his Light for my Ghost, for me, and I'll be eternally grateful for that.

He never wanted to be the Vanguard again. He didn't want to be stuck behind a desk, filing reports and doing paperwork. A Hunter's place isn't behind walls. It's out there in the wilds, exploring, and now I always get to take him with me.

I'll probably still be crying about this off and on days from now,so if anyone is giving out free hugs, I will gladly take one.

Thank you for asking how I'm feeling,that was kind of you to ask.

learned vincents backstory tonight

I completely forgot about this but I still absolutely love the concept, and I wanted to add some more ideas given the canon of s2

1. The main Zaunite enemy would be Smeech (not Sevika) and his goons.

2. At higher levels you have to fight Noxians along with enforcers, and they’re stronger and more ruthless. Rictus is a high-level boss enemy.

3. If you pursue the high Chaos route you end up with Warwick chasing you, and he is absolutely like a Tyrant in a Resident Evil game. Cannot be beaten, you just have to hold him off long enough to escape

4. Isha DLC where you can recruit her and she can help you out during missions (either also directly controlled by a player in co-op mode, or controlled by ai if single player). This can be dangerous though because while Isha can hide much more easily, and enemies are more likely to overlook her, her health is much lower and if she dies it’s game over with a bad ending.

5. Viktor appears as an NPC that you can spend Hextech and Shimmer points on to reduce Chaos. If you give him too many points though he’ll end up being the secret final boss.

6. Ekko/Firelight DLC where if you have a low enough Chaos score, Ekko will invite you to the Firelight base where you can get special weapon and other gear upgrades.

Dishonored/Dishonored 2 inspired Arcane game where you play as Jinx navigating a post s1 world. Everything is in chaos after the bombing of the council hall, and both people in Zaun and Piltover are hostile and combative if they spot Jinx cause they either blame her for Silco’s disappearance or for the chaos over at Piltover and bringing in enforcers

Like in Dishonored!verse, the player would have the option to approach their enemies either by pursuing low chaos (relying mainly on sneak attacks. distractions and paint/glitter bombs for avoidance tactics), high (killing a good number of hostile enemies including enforcers and Sevika’s goons that it’s significant but otherwise leaving the non-combatants alone), or higher chaos (sparing practically no one). Pursuing either level of chaos has repercussions later down the “game” with characters becoming more overall aggressive and terrible and the numbers of goons increase as the world becomes more chaotic if Jinx goes high or higher chaos. 

Levels take place both in Zaun and Piltover. The first starts at the direct aftermath from the Councilroom shooting and Jinx is making her run from the dinner party scene. While chaos’s present cause it’s still Zaun and all that but not as bad as later on cause the actual repercussions haven’t set in yet. Later chapters have her not only dodging enforcers and Sevika’s goons but also being chased by Caitlyn, who if she were to kill prior to a certain chapter would result in a game over so basically it’s a test of avoidance even if playing high chaos. Sevika doesn’t become a direct target until the latter half of the game like Hiram Burrows like Dh1. 

If Jinx does end up killing Cait when it comes to her chapter (basically a confrontation with the enforcers with the option to take them out by either sneaky tactics or lethal force) it raises chaos obviously but also impacts the final chapter which is a confrontation between Jinx and Vi, who’ve Jinx is also tasked to avoid at all costs prior to that last chapter. If you go the low chaos route the confrontation has no fighting and Vi approaches Jinx without gauntlets it’s a happy abeit tense reunion. High or higher chaos results in Vi coming at you with gauntlets and ready to full on fight. If you managed to kill Caitlyn while otherwise maintaining a low chaos run Vi stills comes to you without gauntlets on but more hesitant cause she doesn’t know if you killed Caitlyn or not cause your track record in the game has been primarily non-aggressive but there’s also the dinner party to think about.

Other Gameplay notes to consider: Jinx’s shimmer powers count as “outsider magic,” and can either be used to enhance her fighting skills and get more kills or help with avoidance. She has the option to scrap for metal and blueprints to create and upgrade her weapons but that comes at the cost of being spotted or getting killed with the most prized parts/blueprints being harder places to get out unscathed. If you want to avoid that route she can collect money and buy stuff at black markets from people who associated her as Silco’s daughter and have some degree of respect/loyalty towards him to sell her things. The only downside is that the objects aren’t as customizable to one’s playing style and money becomes scarce the further in the game you are. There’s no heart mechanism to read people’s thoughts/feelings like in Dh1/Dh2 but you have the option to listen to Jinx’s hallucinations. They actually don’t really say the people’s actual deepest secrets but gives you a good impression of what Jinx’s mental state is at the moment (varies with chaos obviously). Drinking shimmer restores magic mana and drinking potions restores physical health. 

I don’t know feel free to add your thoughts/ideas to this.

Trying to pick a favourite dungeon in ffxiv has become very difficult in 7.0 because dawntrail has all these stunning designs with unique and interesting mechanics for the bosses that make them all real memorable, but like… endwalker has venat/emet-selch/hythlodaeus duty support so
