Helluva Boss S1 E8 spoilers & thoughts

Slight usage of S2E2 & S2E4 screenshots for character designs & plot reference of E2

Pretty background characters make brain brr

If Beelzebub is a canine demon like hellhounds, how do her being Gluttony’s ruler & hellhounds being the lowest class (lower than being acknowledged as a class) work? Bird demons are consistently shown to be higher class via goetia & some in S2E4’s opening café. Why the split with canines? Is her status purely from her non-canine stuff?

It feels weird seeing this Loona knowing S2E2. Like, she has warmth for Blitzo in both sure but in S2 it’s a smile after hitting him & a speech he isn’t there for. It just feels different, y’know? Maybe?

Helluva Boss S1E8 was…eh. Pretty bad tbh.

I was happy to see Kesha in this episode. I love the song tbh, the sequence is definitely eye candy. And the callbacks to the Die Young video are top notch. The design alone is really cool (But since she’s supposed to be Beelzebub…then the design should’ve been a bee and not a hellhound.)

I do love tho that Queen Bee wasn’t a stereotypical bitch in this episode and has a healthy relationship with Tex. That was awesome.

Other than that…the episode was eh.

Loona calling Blitz her dad would’ve been so heartwarming if not for the fact that she abuses him in S2E2.

I honestly have given this show the benefit of the doubt so many times and it hasn’t been working for me lol.

Especially after reading Viv‘s thread about her not taking criticism… I just gave up after that XD.

I honestly wish someone would just take all of Viv‘s projects (HH, HB, Zoophobia, etc.) and makes movies and shows based on them. Either stand-alone or part of a shared universe. Basically one big rewrite.

But yeah, that’s pretty much it. If you guys like or love you the episode then I’m happy for you! If you didn’t like it, then you came to the right place!

S1E8 was a banger, without a doubt. Loved the music, loved the designs. Cotton Candy is probably one of my new favorite HH songs alongside House of Asmodeus and Stolas Sings.

Bee gives me Lava Lamp vibes, btw

I have to admit, I am kinda sad that I wasn't very close with my design for Bee compared to the official design, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love the official design. She's absolutely adorable.

With the release of Beelzebub's official design, I will not be posting part 4 of my A Sense of Pride series, as it uses my concept of Bee, which is no longer relevant. I will not be deleting any of my old posts/theories/headcanons however.

Some of my rambling about the episode + my maybe plans for the future of the Sins I've made under the cut. My thoughts on the episode towards the bottom. Spoilers ahead!

This episode did stomp on a good few of my headcanons (to be expected, ofc, but sad nonetheless), but it also confirmed, or at least reinforced, a good few of my theories. From what little we see of Gluttony, it's clearly covered in hellhounds, which I'd theorized was the "birth place" of hellhounds in hell, like how it seems that imps' birthplace was Wrath and Satan. With Bee appearing to look like a hellhound, it reinforces my theory that hellhounds were created by Bee in Gluttony.

That said, the release of this episode is making me think I should do some world/character separation. Perhaps the sins I've made thus far should no longer be really associated with the Helluva Boss world, at least not in the same capacity I've been using them for. Especially with Bee referring to Belphegor as "she". I can't see my Belphegor identifying as female. So, maybe I can do some separation and make some new concept art based on this new information + what we got to see of the Sloth ring in S2E4. So, stay tuned for some new concept art :)

Most likely, I'll still be drawing my Sins (Namely, Belphegor, Leviathan, and Satan), but I think I'll no longer be tagging them under HH/HB. Just due to it being a pretty heavy AU, as I'll still be using the current concept of Vivzie's Hell and its species. That, or I'll label it both HH/HB + Alternate Universe. Haven't decided yet.

Reading further is going to contain spoilers for S1E8 ->

Outside of headcanons, I was definitely not expecting to see a new sin in this episode. I was expecting even less for said sin to be the girlfriend Tex mentioned. While I still think some of my original headcanons for Bee will still work, some were kinda thrown out lol. Oh well, though. I love the personality they gave her and she feels like someone who's very down to earth.. er hell I guess.

S1E8 spoilers under the cut. Mostly negative, so y'know.

So I'm guessing the legal issues were Kesha's lawsuit against Dr. Luke, since the ep came out directly after they settled out of court.

Other than that, the ep was...really boring. The song was annoying, and I hate that Bee is just a smaller, slightly redesigned Jay Jay. It doesn't fit the aesthetic of her club at all? Nothing about it screams "gluttony".

It's clear the caste system just does NOT fucking matter if a regular-degular Hellhound can date the Sin of Gluttony herself. IDK why Viv even bothered to make it a thing if she's just, like...not gonna explore it outside of Stolitz angst and Fizz and Ozzie, who are probably gonna end up going public and they'll stay together despite the backlash and that leads to Stolitz being endgame and AUGH I hate how predictable it all is.

Anyway, the episode wasn't the worst by a longshot, but it was a slog and I had to physically restrain myself from fast-forwarding, which is somehow worse? IDK but I think I'm done with HB lol

I'm not gonna liveblog the HB special / s1e8 because it's not plot heavy and I'm gonna be on my slow laptop on the weekend at my parents' place (with an internet connection flickering like a light switch).

These are kinda sucky but it’s just a little prediction for HB S1E8 👀 the snake strikes back.
