"I've lost my smile"

My happiness lies dormant,

in a cave somewhere beyond my reach.

I would love to call it back to me,

but sadness has stolen my speech.

Sometimes, I can hear it snoring,

or talking out loud in its sleep.

Other times, I miss it so much

that it makes me want to weep.

I hope someday to wake it up,

to rouse it from its rest.

But until then, I try to carry on,

and just keep hoping for the best.

A very messy Krupp I drew weird because of art burnout

For once I would like to know how it feels to be needed. No one ever fought for me, or fought to stay with me. They gave up the first chance they got.. never thinking twice what it did to me.. they broke me so bad, I am still picking up pieces after all these years.

"Happiness in a bottle"

Any happiness I feel

comes from a bottle now-a-days.

But it's expensive, and it's fleeting,

and it never really pays.

Actually, it costs more

than I'm sure it's worth.

Only, how else do I fake a smile,

and ease the pain and hurt?

I have to say it's obvious,

it's not an even trade.

If anything, it underlines

all the mistakes that I have made.

It verifies in many ways,

I'm not where I should be.

And magnifies my understanding

of what is happening to me.

It can't go on like this forever,

I feel like I will break.

This is not the life I want to live,

and there is still so much left to say.

I know that something's got to give,

something has to change.

But if I'm the only one willing to try,

things just stay the same.

So once again I am left to find

my happiness in a bottle.

Not exactly what you would call

your top-of-the-line role model.

"Feeling broken, sad, and down?

Go ahead and pour another round!"

It may numb the pain for a minute or two,

before it returns again to start a new.

But this will never solve the problem,

only make it worse.

There's just so much needing to be said,

though, it's hard to find the words.

You give up and I give in,

we pour another round again.

You say it's alright, but I know it's wrong,

how long can this continue on?

I might get a lot of hate for this, but I want Helluva Boss to explore the myriad of reasons cis women get abortions. I want it to be explored in a healthy way

Because I feel in the current climate (especially politically) people don't want to ever think of the possibility that a woman won't want children. Millie isn't happy about this news.

And I'd absolutely love for Millie to not tell Moxxie she had an abortion, I want her to feel guilty about it and talk to Blitzø about it, worrying that if Moxxie knew he'd hate her.

And I want Blitzø to convince her that because he loves her he would support her no matter what. And when she tells Moxxie he just says "it's your body so it's your choice, but next time let me know so I can help you through this."

Not all cis women want nor can physically have children. We need to talk about abortion in a much healthier way than the current climate allows.

Edit to add this:

Okay so while replying to someone it made me think, what if they tied this in to Stella's backstory? Very early on we see that Stella seems kind of distant towards Octavia.

If Stella is a woman who was forced to have a child when she didn't want one, her personality towards Stolas and Octavia becomes more apparent.

She spends more time with her brother than with Octavia.

she even calls her "an egg"

and "his daughter" instead of ever calling her Octavia or even her own daughter.

This could be a good way to explore how a person who was forced into a mothering role could act, and explains her distaste for Stolas' strength of actually doing something against the Ars Goetias authority.

Stella in this moment sees Octavia crying, but if we look at her eyes closely she isn't watching the television, she's looking at Octavia and smiling at the fact she's in pain.

Stella thinks she's proven here that it's impossible/was impossible to ever go against the status quo, that her wishes of ever disobeying the Goetia is futile and she's proven to Stolas and Octavia that it was always impossible.

I think a plot like this could really help the audience understand childfree people from a different perspective, and what  could happen if you force a person who wishes to be childfree to have a child.

She could even have been mentally unwell/unstable after/before giving birth, which effects how she reacts towards people.

We as a society need to stop pressuring people into doing things our grandparents did just because it's what is expected of you.

This whole show is about generational trauma and breaking free from it, so I can see the show going this direction if it chooses to.

What do you think of this idea, and of it tying into a possible Stella backstory?

My actual favorite part of wisdom saga is telemachus trying to lean against Athena (he thought about that for .03 seconds and then was like nah !!! :D she's my friend not the goddess of war!!! Good to see that the audacity is running strong in odysseus's family) and then just passed threw her and fell on the floor. And then Athena did not move at all!!! And just stood there looking at him.
