On Mine Data Breach

Illness did strike at me upon the eve I would forsooth have addressed more of the foul rumors which flyeth as a result of mine House's recent data breach. Tis unfortunate, as I would have liked to get ahead of the situation, but fate hath made this not to be. Regardless, allowest me to address the three most prominent of these rumors in earnest:

The first of these regardeth mine House as a whole. Among the leaked documentation was a folder of rather old (older than I mine own self) financial records. Somehow, the information released hath sparked a rumor of 'tax fraud' among unpracticed analysts. On behalf of House Hurst, Jewel of Crossland, I must ensure the public that this is entirely false. The documents in question art ancient and not in their entirety. Baronic Tax collectors hath been invited to investigate themselves, and the matter will be resolved behind closed doors.

The second regardeth mine own self. Much of mine personal correspondence became compromised in the hours following the initial attack. Most was business inquiry, meeting logs, and general diplomacy from the last few years. But some of the hackers did steal data logs of a more... personal nature. Since their release I have received spam from what must be burners which mine rivals did produce, which useth words such as 'harlot' and 'strumpet.' To these spammers: I do verily ask thee to piss off. Thou behavest like children, truly; mine "DMs" - as I have heard them called - art a concern of mine and the women involved, none else.

Finally, the most serious matter, and the one I most regret mine delay in addressing. Several pieces of evidence - lack of correspondence and a mission report labelled "MIA" included - hath led many individuals upon the Omninet to draw the conclusion that mine dear sister is missing. For those ignorant, mine beloved baby sister, Rebecca Hurst, is a renowned Pankrati and Kavalier: among the most famous on Crossland, Callsign Viceroy. I do regret to inform the public that, while en route to a sortie some time ago now, she did, in fact, disappear. We do fear she was set upon by ne'er-do-wells of some description. HOWE'ER. We hath spared no expense in looking for her, and I have little fear. She will be home soon, safe and sound. This will, unfortunately, affecteth her participation in the House Games. We know this must doubtlessly dissapointeth her many loving fans, but we ask for thine support through this difficult time, regardless.

To the good people of the Omninet and to all of Baronic Space, I thank thee for thine time. I shall keep thee informed on the ongoing situation regarding mine dear sister, but otherwise am happy to have this hacking debacle behind me and behind mine House.

Your Lady,

Rosceline of House Hurst.

Hey remember when I said that this was the most frustrating thing about being a Helluva Boss enjoyer?

Yeah I was wrong.

The most frustrating thing about being a Helluva Boss enjoyer is explicitly stating multiple times that I like show and then get called an anti and homophobic and media illiterate when I complain about the direction it has taken.

I LIKE the comedy

I LIKE the animation and artstyle

I LIKE the more serious plotlines like the government agents plot and the Cherubs plot

I LIKE the themes of friendship and found family

I even like most of the songs!

And ofc the voice cast slays every time

But just because your show has angst and tears and drama and sad music doesn't automatically make it "good".

Just because your characters are queer doesn't automatically make them good or well written characters

This fandom is so frustrating to deal with when you want to express your more nuanced takes of it

This is probably gonna be the last post I make about this subject and about Helluva Boss in general, this shit is too stupid to deal with

[happypeachsludgeflower]

Is there an existing genre that contains both heavy angst and ridiculous comedy? Because whatever genre that is called, I’m gonna need its tag name soon 🥸😂

I love when media fully embraces how ludicrous some of its plot points are. a spy, a telepath, an assassin, and clairvoyant dog forming a happy upper class family together is an objectively insane concept, and we're all okay with that.

I know not all shows are SpyXFamily (Unfortunately.), but you get the point. Just commit to your shit. stop coming up with a million excuses as to why your weird thing is weird. Simply girl boss your way out of it. No one cares. Pop off.

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)

"So. Tell me what happened."

"Well. It was me. I kicked it."

"Any particular reason?"

"I lost my temper."

"Who with?"

"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."

"And you kicked the painting?"

"Yes, sir."

"Instead of kicking McClaren?"

"Yes, sir."

"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."

"So do I, sir."

reading through mark twain’s catalogue of books will be like:

social stratification is so extreme that society will treat functionally identical people in opposite ways for merely believing that they have different origins, forcing them to either be crushed by or perpetuate the unjust system of government that began this whole situation.

even the most brilliant innovator who fights tirelessly to improve the rights of the people will face pushback from bigots resisting any kind of threat to their power that can manipulate the masses into giving up their rights in order to preserve the status quo.

local rascal plays a prank on his neighbors and starts a pirate club :D

discrimination and violence is baked so deeply into the foundations of society that children wanting to do the right thing will believe they are condemning themselves to hell by defying authority in favor of viewing oppressed minorities as humans deserving of rights.

do you have any headcanons 😁 (hypnotizing you) ooouyhhhh ouhhhhhhhh you will tell us about yiur headcanons about the bands dynamic🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥 (theres no hypnotize emoji)

i saw a post about another media i wasnt familiar with (i think it was in stars and time?) talking about the group's dynamic as like. it's found family but in a way that specifically rejects the traditional family roles- ie there doesn't have to be a "mom" and a "child" or any other named role for individual people, just their closeness is enough on its own to make them family. and i think that's how i feel about the rockafire a bit! like tbf i do think mitzi has a sibling-like relationship w beach bear and dook but that's kinda the only named relationship i feel even a bit strongly about lol. i feel like i can't think of any rae character without also thinking of how i like their dynamic with at least one other character, the way each character interacts with the others strengthens their own personality and i think thats super cool. i love those guys

Truly funny thing I thought of.

So okay imagine just like, a nothing-goes-wrong AU for MDZS. Maybe Lotus Pier still falls idk. But like, relatively untraumatized Yunmeng Siblings. Jiang Yanli isn't currently married or engaged to Jin Zixuan. Jiang Cheng is in charge of Lotus Pier but is much more relaxed and has support from his siblings. Wei Wuxian isn't extremely depressed and surrounded by darkness.

And there's Wei Wuxian thinking "My shijie deserves the best person in the entire world!" and then "Wait, you know who's the best person in the entire world? Lan Zhan! He's so good and perfect and pretty and handsome, he'd definitely make shijie happy! And I'd have an excuse to see him more often!"

And thus he begins his mission of getting his shijie and his Lan Zhan together. He invites him to Lotus Pier and tries to get them to spend time together but mostly shijie ends up third wheeling for her little brother's dates with the boy he obviously likes. He does tell her his idea at some point and she tries to talk him down from it a little, noticing how much he himself clearly likes this boy. Lan Wangji and Jiang Yanli get along well enough, but they are both fairly quiet people, so mostly they both end up affectionately watching Wei Wuxian being himself.

Eventually, after misunderstandings and shenanigans, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji do get together, and Jiang Yanli is delighted that her little brother finally got the boy he'd been chasing.

Presumably Jiang Cheng is watching this whole thing from the sidelines, completely baffled. Wei Wuxian tried to explain the whole plan to him but he hadn't understood why his goofy brother thought the Second Jade of Lan was so great. Also he was convinced that Lan Wangji would never agree to come to Lotus Pier. He was very confused when the guy actually showed up, and even seemed happy enough to be there. He decided to stay out of it.

I love over-analyzing media and I have pulled magnificent theories and headcanons out of my ass on the tiniest crumbs in other fandoms before BUT

y'all might be taking this improvised comedy show that is greatly determined by dice rolls a little too seriously

[cinnabeat]

sometimes you read something and youre like why am i reading this what is the point and sometimes you read something and its like there is virtually no plot but i am simply reading to see this one guy completely fail at everything
