Confirmation that even just receiving the crystal is a painful memory for Blitz because he associates it with the end of their arrangement 💔

[jubileemon]

When Blitz is hallucinating about the five dead Millies, their different types of injuries may seem strange at first. But if you think about it, you can connect their injuries to the various life-risking threats that Millie had to face in the first season:

The Millie with glass shards on her left eye and ropes wrapped around her wrists can be correlated to Martha's attempt at killing Millie from "Murder Family".

The burnt Millie with a bodyguard suit clearly comes from Loo Loo Land's explosion and subsequent burning in "Loo Loo Land".

The pinkish, dripping Millie could be the result of how Millie's body would look like were she to be digested and unable to get out of the giant fish monster from "Spring Broken".

The Millie with angelic arrows stabbed around her body can be seen as nodding to I.M.P.'s first fight against C.H.E.R.U.B. in "C.H.E.R.U.B.".

The Millie with a broken arm and dismemebered leg could be based on the injuries Striker gave her in "The Harvest Moon Festival".

[the-apology-dance]

When I realize Millie saying Blitz and Stolas have yet to talk to each other in almost a month and IMP is a WRECK as he “copes”

I wonder what happens every month at the END OF THE MONTH. (God we are so in for it)

[lost-romantique]

Alright Stolitzers let's do something fun!

Lets imagine, Prince Consort Blitz becoming a thing...

What are your hilarious headcanons and or theories about the hijinks that would ensue?

I'll start...

"This crown is so fucking heavy, and these clothes are so goddamn itchy- FFFFUUUCCK MEEE"

~~~

Stolas: "Darling, proper etiquette involved in drinking tea, involves raising your arm at a certain angle and sipping from the cup."

Blitz: "Manners schmanners" *holds that teacup like a fucking menace and chugs that tea like he's taking a shot*

Stolas: *face palms*

[helluvagirlboss]

Hey I have a question…does Blitz know where his mom is buried?

Did he go to her funeral at all? Or did he refrain from going because he assumed nobody wanted him there?

Because let me tell you, if it gets confirmed at any point either in the next episode or any episode later down the line that Blitz didn’t go to her funeral and therefore never got to properly say goodbye, that will do unspeakable amounts of emotional damage to my psyche.

[stories-and-chaos]

Something I’ve been pondering about Stolas and Octavia, especially since the mid season 2 trailer. So we as the audience know how unhappy Stolas is in his marriage. We saw his reaction to the engagement and Stella’s picture, how disengaged she was when Via was a child, the way she talks about him, and evidence that Stella has been physically and emotionally abusive.

We’re omniscient, we even know well before Western Energy that she’s hired Striker as a hit man. So we’re aware of how awful this relationship has been for Stolas.

Octavia isn’t. Stolas has been protecting her from Stella’s behavior her whole life. He’s done his best to give her the happy childhood he never got. Just contrasting the parent child interactions:

From the looks of it, Stolas has been taking abuse from his father and wife for decades, all while never letting his daughter know. Which is not at all unusual, for an abused spouse to hide it from their children. He’s kept Via out of the line of fire and has masked it so well she doesn’t even realize her parents have problems until the “Not Divorced” incident.

So from Via’s point of view, her dad has suddenly cheated on her mom who is screaming at him because she’s mad. Her dad is now acting bizarrely sexual and not giving her the attention she’s probably used to. We know that Stolas is experiencing a sexual awakening. He’s exploring parts of himself that many people would have as teens and young adults, not their mid thirties. That whole delayed puberty kicking in.

And we know from Stella gossiping with her friends that she and Stolas aren’t intimate. From the sounds of it, the two of them haven’t done the deed since Octavia’s egg was laid. So the girl is used to her parents being cordial in front of her, with no physical affection between them. That’s her normal.

Stolas suddenly hanging all over Blitzø, the dirty talk, him yelling back at Stella. From Via’s perspective her dad became a cheating sex fiend out of nowhere. Stella’s outbursts are probably common enough that the way she’s reacting doesn’t move the needle for Via. Unfortunately we haven’t seen Stella and Octavia interact yet. But Stella is enough of a narcissist that I’m sure she’s portraying herself in the best possible light in this situation, blaming Stolas for everything.

Meanwhile, Stolas can’t even manage to tell Via that her parent’s marriage is arranged, loveless, and abusive.

He tries but can’t verbalize what’s going on. Not that this excuses his behavior. The Loo Loo Land trip was such a disaster because Stolas wasn’t paying attention to Via. But Via is mostly in the dark about her parent’s dynamic. To her, her dad is the one suddenly acting weird and ruining the family. Stolas has insulated her so much from the worst parts of his life that she has no reference point for his unhappiness.

She’s genuinely confused about why Stolas hates Stella. And from the sound of things, Stolas continues to not talk to Via about it. He was hurt enough to be hospitalized for an extended period. But in the trailer we hear Octavia saying “You never loved mother and you don’t love me, you love him.” Which indicates that she’s still being kept in the dark. And she doesn’t know her dad was hospitalized because of the injuries her mom’s hitman inflicted. Stella is actively trying to kill Stolas and their daughter thinks Stolas is at fault.

Octavia is a sheltered teenager who isn’t being informed about what’s going on with the adults in her life. And Stolas in particular is keeping her out of the loop. He doesn’t realize that she’s growing up, becoming independent, and needs to know about what’s happening. Until she finds out the truth of her parent’s marriage she’s going to keep blaming Stolas. Maybe the trailer is faking us out but I get the feeling that the rift growing between Via and her dad is going to break wide open before they reconcile. I really hope Stolas will be able to tell her that yes, he never loved her mother, but he’s always loved his little starfire.

[timkontheunsure]

So anyone else think that they're foreshadowing that Stolas will join IMP later?

Kiddo Blitzø: And if you apply I'll hire you... maybe

Wee Stolas: You'll hire me?!

Smol Blitzø: Yeah if I feel like it.

Ickle Stolas: Well, I hope I qualify then.

Then there that Blitzø has been fantasized about bringing stolas on missions, and was keeping drawing on him.

(he gave Stolas a moustache as a disguise 😆)

Then there's the problems IMP currently has

Blitzø is back at budgeting, and will spend all their money on horse plushies. No one currently at IMP can stop him doing this.

Moxxie tries to keep them on track; by noticing when they need to take a job to get paid.

But he's awful at time management, and will dick around for a week on a 10 min job. Millie's bad at calling him on it, and bad at raining in Blitzø.

Loona is extremely board just doing the phones.

An extra person would mean she could go on more missions.

And if it's Stolas, he can watch from the office to make sure she didn't get hurt. He has he ways after all.

No one there is good at the paper work. They can't even do there taxes right.

Stolas is amazing at paper work. It as one of his special interests, so it's fun for him.

Then there's the biggy. Stolas is a sassy bitch who can get Blitz back on track like no one else. And call him on his shit when he's being an idiot.

(panic attack to calm and flattered in under 30 seconds. Yes I counted).

Edit: adding IMP really needs the help lol

Edit 2: forgot that Moxxie asks Blitz in Seeing Stars "if we can't even hire a cheerful, qualified receptionist, how can people trust us to massacre their enemies?"

[thecat620]

Ghostf*ckers Millie Theory

People noticed that Millie doesn't seem to be her usual self when she has a mission with Blitz and Moxxie isn't a part of this one this time. Some people think that she's grouchy because something happened to Moxxie.

But I don't think that's the case. I think the only reason she might not be herself is because she's genuinely worried about Blitz. She's probably the nicest and closest to him since they freely text about sex stuff and she's the most understanding of Blitz's quirks. She'll only get annoyed when he's harsh about Moxxie but I think she's genuinely concerned about him.

When she sees him break down in the trailer, she's very concerned and I think she'll be the first he'll open up to after whatever goes on in the episode with the possession and visions causing him to go through so much. She's tough but she's very compassionate and kind when she's not in feral mode. I think the friendship these two have had since working together and whatever past they had brought them closer together.

It'll be interesting seeing how they met and why at first they were fighting and trying to kill each other to eventually being friends and coworkers. She met Blitz when she had long hair and when she got married to Moxxie, she had long hair then too. I think he might've had a hand in seeing those two eventually meeting and getting together.

Plus with her home seeming to restrict her wild side being a bit too wild even for Wrath, Blitz giving her an outlet as an assassin and praising her wildness I think means a lot to her. So she would want to help him even if it means knocking whatever is possessing him out of him.

I think the friendship between Millie and Blitz is going to be very sweet.

[anthurak]

Thinking about how Stolas clearly didn't mean his statement of it 'not being an imp's place to protect a Goetia' and was instead being sarcastic to provoke a response from Blitzo.

Which would make it all too appropriately ironic if that statement wound up being prophetic.

At least as far as Blitzo is concerned.

Blitzø’s Buttons

Blitzø’s Buttons:  

I have discussed this before, but I am obsessed with the implications of the emergency buttons under Blitzø’s desk:  

More coffee  

Not really an emergency, but it's giving the millennial “Don’t talk to me until I have had my coffee” vibes. He is the right age...  

Soiled my pants  

How many times has this occurred for it to be its own whole button? Maybe he bought the thing with 7 spots and just needed to fill them? Soiled pants are for sure a button worthy emergency but hopefully not a common one 

Horny Client  

Again, how often does this happen? Does this button mean come rescue me or don't bother me I’m busy? Knowing Blitzø’s promiscuity, it could be either 

Deranged Client  

Yea, I am sure this one happens a lot  

Client Giving Birth  

This one has crazy implications. Can sinners give birth? I was always under the assumption that sinners had the least amount of autonomy; can't leave the pride ring, don't age, and assumedly can't procreate but maybe this proves that wrong? Or (and more likely in my opinion) IMP used to kill in hell before they got the book. If they did service demons before expanding to Earth, a client giving birth is a lot more possible   

Ghost  

What is a ghost to a soul in hell??? A ghost is traditionally the soul/spirit of a dead person without physical form. The sinner souls that come from Earth are given a new physical form. Can they lose that and become a loose, body-less soul? Aka a ghost? If so, how does that happen?

Or is it a hellborn’s soul? Do hellborns even have souls? I don’t think we have seen an examples in either Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel where a hellborn sold their soul or has died. (unsure if Charlie counts because her lineage is half cast-down human/ half angel) Supposedly, sinners respawn when killed (unless it's with angelic weapons) but what happens to hellborns when they die?  

How often does a ghost come to haunt Blitzø? Honestly, he has pissed off enough people, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common emergency.  

A future episode is supposedly called Ghostfuckers so maybe we will find out more 

Stolas  

Maybe this was before Stolas found out about the book? Even if not, based on how Stolas behaved in the pilot episode, this button seems appropriate. Even in the first episode, Stolas seems to call and just spill his horny guts. Emergency button deserved, horny jail

On Stolitz, Kink and Power Dynamics, and Role Reversal - Stolas Centric

So, I have been thinking a lot about the kink dynamics between Stolas and Blitzø, especially how they are portrayed in the show vs. what is popular (or more popular than you’d think) among fan works. A lot of this has probably been said, but I am unsure what has and has not, and I have only recently begun to interact with the community.

For some background, I have about 10 years of experience within the kink/BDSM lifestyle including several long-term dynamics as both Dom and sub, attendance to events, extensive engagement in online forums, etc. I’ve been in many types of dynamics and have a good understanding of the culture.

We have very little knowledge on the intricacies of the dynamic between Stolas and Blitzø but from what I can gather its a pretty standard one without very much structure. This makes sense seeing as before recent canon events, their scenes are primarily limited to once a month. There is no evidence of switching that I can find in the show, most likely they stay firm in their roles of Blitzø as Dom and Stolas as sub. There is the comment during the Loo Loo Land episode, where Blitzø say “wait till her dad tries diddling your holes”, but the keyword being “tries.” Now obviously he could be receiving penetration, but I find it hard to believe that there is any actual control given to Stolas.

This structure obviously allows for some entertaining role reversal, and (on the surface level at least) mitigates some of the issues with the power at the same time. I find myself often wondering how people would regard the dynamic between them if Blitzø was portrayed as the sub. It obviously doesn’t really fit his character as he is now, but it is a thought.

Anyway, the point is actually to explore the idea of a role reversal between the two and what this can represent. Obviously, a lot of this has been touched on in fan-works, and probably other posts, but primarily in the framework of Blitzø’s experience subbing. I think that is well-established that a lot of the draw for Blitzø to submit is the idea of him being vulnerable and letting go of control. There are many works that focus on this.

But what about Stolas? That’s something I haven’t seen a lot of.

Stolas is passive. Even if he snarks back at Blitzø and does set some boundaries a bit at the beginning of Apology Tour, and he does tease and push, it’s really not substantial. Even with Full Moon, even with the crystal, he is still so submissive to everything that happens around him. He makes his grand gesture and throws the ball in Blitzø’s court until he can’t handle what that looks like. He let’s things just happen to him for the most part. So a lot of his character growth in the show focuses on him gaining confidence and taking initiative.

Even in Apology Tour, at the Blitzø Hate party, he makes it clear where he stands on what he wants his role in a relationship to be. He wants to be pursued, like a woman in a rom-com who stereotypically and historically takes a passive role to whatever confident or goofy hunk wants her. Sure, she wants him (usually), but typically she is not doing the pursuing. Instead she rolls her eyes and things happen to her.

Stolas taking on a dominant role, taking control, even in the context of kink, can be symbolic for him learning ambition and initiative. Everything has been decided for him and he’s letting Blitzø’s actions and responses make the decision for him. Even with Octavia, he acts as if he is collateral to her behavior and emotions. It’s fair for him to want Blitzø pursue him and to take accountability. However, at some point he needs to pursue as well. You could say that the crystal was an instance in which he did? But was it really when at the first sign of resistance from Blitzø, he folds and pull back.

All this to say, there can be some really great story telling using their BDSM dynamics. I don’t really expect the show to address this, because I think there are some intricacies here that can only be appreciated by those really involved in the BDSM lifestyle, and honestly I am not sure how knowledgeable the writers are about it outside of the mainstream knowledge (Well mainstream compared to someone like me.)

With the deal ended, and the power dynamics somewhat balancing out, the door is really opened for this type of thing. There isn’t as much baggage in Blitzø being portrayed in a sub role. The class divide is still there, but Stolas no longer holds all of the cards

There is waaaay more I can say on this in regard to the roles of sub and Dom and how they relate to Stolas and Blitzø but this is already so long. Some things to consider would be the the actual emotional needs that are filled by each role, the ways relationships in dynamics develop, different BDSM subcultures and theories on the nature of their dynamic, and more of my thoughts on how their current dynamic with Stolas subbing and Blitzø Domming impacting perceptions of their previous arrangement by viewers, how Blitzø is already submissive to Stolas in ways, the general emotional state of people when engaging in kink, etc. I could also provide my own thoughts on Blitzø subbing but I feel it’s already well addressed in the fandom.

Maybe I’ll do a part 2 if it’s wanted or I get the will. I would love to engage in any discussion (agreeing or otherwise) on this, I probably missed some things, or interpreted stuff differently than others.

And here is a Poll to wrap this up

[jubileemon]

Blitzo's Hallucination Scene

Blitzo's dream reveals much about his psyche along with why he acts the way he does...

Take note of how Verosika treats Blitzo. Striker and Fizzaroli throw around and mock him for his loneliness, while she crawls towards him and calls him out for pushing away those that get close, at most grabbing his face for emphasis. This hints heavily that Verosika really loved Blitzo and Blitzo knew, but then he sabotaged the relationship.

The hallucinations of Striker, Fizzaroli, and Verosika speak with Blitzo's voice rather than those of their voice actors. Blitzo is criticizing himself for his own insecurities and toxic behavior.

Adding to the above, Moxxie's voice is unchanged, but his body flickers between his normal art style and the crude drawing style Blitzo's used in the past. While the other hallucinations speak to Blitzo's insecurities about himself, Moxxie just blathers on in fancy language without really saying anything of value. Much as Blitzo wants to think that that's how Moxxie is, he knows it isn't true, hence the flickering between real and unreal. Also, why is Moxxie phasing in and out of Blitzo's drawing style? Looks like Blitzo is still upset about Moxxie criticizing his art skills...

None of Blitzo's family shows up during the hallucination, not even his disapproving father who would presumably be a big source of Blitzo's insecurity. That's because his interactions with Robo-Fizz, Verosika, and Striker were all very recent, meaning that the emotional wounds they inflicted were still fresh in Blitzo's mind. Not to mention that the Truth Bomb gas dissipates fairly quickly. It's possible that it could have dredged up Blitzo's family had it lingered for longer.

Blitzo's mind is drenched in mud. Aside from signifying how Blitzo feels lower than dirt, mud in dreams symbolizes insecurity, uncertainty, and an inability to find your footing. All things that Blitzo has been struggling with. The mud disappears once Stolas arrives, though some of it coats the staircase for a little longer. Stolas is a reassuring presence in Blitzo's life on some level, but Blitzo still isn't one hundred percent sure if he will stick around.

Blitzo climbs the golden stairs to get away from Fizzaroli, Verosika, and Striker only to see Stolas waiting at the top, being fanned by two clones of himself. Rather than run in another direction, Blitzo keeps climbing, almost crawling towards him. The clown outfit that Blitzo had been wearing is replaced by his normal outfit, but golden chains form around his wrists and neck, led by a chain pulled by Stolas.

This single scene explains so much about Stolas and Blitzo's relationship to one another; Blitzo gained a new life and dignity (the clothes) thanks to Stolas, but his entire assassination business is now dependent on Stolas' grimoire, making Blitzo feel trapped (the chains) under the owl's whims. Stolas might actually be in love with Blitzo, but because of this dynamic, Blitzo feels like it's nothing more than a master toying with their pet. It also explains why Blitz seemed so reluctant to be near Stolas in the past: his self-deprecation and tendency to push people away makes him believe that once Stolas grows bored of him, he'll discard him and he'll lose everything, so he doesn't want to get attached.

What you didn’t notice in helluva - ozzie’s stamp

So every deadly sin has his own stamp, right. Here are mammon’s and ozzie’s:

During Fizzarolli’s „two minute’s notice”, he has mammon’s stamp in the background. OR SO I THOUGHT. Because i watch helluva boss like a crazy person i have a sixth sense when it comes to shit like this.

For most performance fizz has mammon’s stamp in the background:

Which is either green or purple. However, when asmodeus enters the scene to give fizz his torch the stamp disappears:

And when he gives him the torch WE HAVE THE STAMP OF ASMODEUS IN THE BACKGROUND, NOT MAMMON’S:

This stamp is GOLD. Here we can see by color meaning, that while purple and green represents mammon in this scene, fire and gold stands for asmodeus. When he disappears behind the curtains we’re back to the mammon’s stamp:

However, just when fizz oficially quits his job, and mammon wants to hurt him, he looks up (and i kinda wondered why, that’s how i discovered this):

(I need to reblog so i can add more photos, gimme sec)

[lost-romantique]

My reaction to realizing we're only one Helluva short away from being out of hiatus, and Helluva Boss officially comes back next month

With the Helluva shorts showing some minor plot relevance (even if small), I'm interested to know what the next short is going to be about...

[imp-imp-im-a-simp]

Theory: Fizz was put "on sale" by Mammon cause of his wounds and later bought by Asmodeus.

[blitzsicedcoffee]

*Shakes brain*

What if at the end of that scene where Blitz is defending Stolas, they're backed against a cliff and Stolas falls off, leaving Blitz to jump off and go reaching for Stolas like In "Look My Way".

If I have to suffer with this theory so do you.
