This is the wildest rewrite idea I came up with so far (and the biggest one in terms of departure from canon), but here goes nothing.

I think Kel and Hero’s mother should’ve died of complications from giving birth to Kel. I like this idea mainly because it’d make their relationship an “inverse” of sorts to Sunny and Mari’s - in the latter’s case, the younger sibling would resent the older one whereas in the former’s case, the older sibling would resent the younger one - and IMO that’d give it a bit more flavor.

Perhaps their father would lie to Kel that his mom passed away due to natural causes or an accident (and never specify the kind of that accident), but Kel would slowly start suspecting something else at play because of how distant Hero seems to be at times. Hero would see his little brother as the single largest reminder of what he lost, and that’d put a strain on their relationship.

I think this idea would necessitate changing the way the friend group came to be. Maybe Aubrey would be the first person Sunny and Mari befriend, then she’d bring Basil in, and that would be followed by Hero joining, probably after meeting Mari herself. He’d spend time with them because he wants to get away from his home, which he regards as a grave for his mother. He can’t stand seeing pictures of her, he can’t look at the bed she used to share with his father and he wants to detach himself from Kel somehow.

Then, some time later, Kel decides to follow his older brother and meets with the friend group too because he wants to spend more time with him. He’d hit it off with Sunny immediately, and Mari wouldn’t see anything wrong with letting him in, but Hero would for obvious reasons. Of course, he couldn’t simply chase him away - what kind of big brother would do that? Maybe he’d take inspiration from Mari and make himself the group’s “dad”, try to take care of the kids and keep himself together until-

Well.

I think this idea would also lay more solid groundwork for Hero’s complete shutdown and subsequent outburst at Kel. His beloved girlfriend killing herself while he’s still reeling from the loss of his mom wouldn’t be a cakewalk, after all. And hey, that outburst could even confirm Kel’s aforementioned suspicions 🙂

Finally, it’d make Hero’s pursuit of a degree in medicine more tragic. What if he wanted to honor his dead mother’s wish the best he could, but also had this irrational feeling he wouldn't be doing right by her if he were to become a doctor?

A doctor’s job is to save people’s lives, right?

So why couldn’t the doctors save his mother?

FINALLY CHFNFJ omg finally I made a ref sheet I don't totally hate,,,

Anyways- this is mah rot-cat o from Rain World bapie The Possessed😳✨ hope ya like it and dhdhdh

Nothing

A little more informations about it! :))

-It can have multiple tentacles depending on the situation; the most common view of it is with only two tentacles tho :))

-has an emotionless stare; you don't really know what is going on in that head of its buuuuuut the two usual thing are either "Consume" or just "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

-Yes, it is in constant pain :) like a balance between the Dll consuming Paisley but at the same time not that much to get Paisley to """""die""""""

-the only "visible emotions" are pain, sadness and anger just cause in all of these some strange tears come out of its big round white eye

-fusing with a Dll, sadly, Paisley lost all his abilities to communicate, actually loosing completely his mouth

-The possessed is sneaky af thanks not only to its dll abilities, but also to it's silent attitude (that means that it could jumpscare you like there's no tomorrow :))

-Paisley's soft and warm paws, after the incident, became sharp, strong and colder claws but beneath the black coverage of the fusion, his original colors can be, very barely, seen

-Possessed is like a trashcan, it can absorb and devour literally a N Y T h i n g- dead or alive, it doesn't matter. With no mouth, it eats by using dll's part that cartoonishly and terrifyingly become like a giant mouth for it to incorporate its pray in to digest them :))))

-Its movements are restricted, mostly due to the weight gain from the dll mass plus the latter blocking its longer and bigger movements; so, it cannot do long jumps and all, but can use the tentacles to reach up its objective and make even more complicated movements

-The possessed can produce, tot times, Dll's cells that it use to either "Froze kill" (technically paralysing in a sorta of coma or uhm putting creatures in a state of apparent death to escape more easily) and from that it can kinda choose between leave them like that(ultimately ""killing"" the creature) or rather "zombify" them to create its arm- I MEAN- to make lovely companions to spend time with :)) 💙✨

And last but not for importance!

-It can kinda return "normal"; Paisley can sorta take control again on his body while the Dll's parts regroup on his bandana(being pure organic fabric the Dll can use it as a "body substitute" for a limited time that can vary; the two end of the bandana can transmute into tentacles). This process is extremely painful and heartbreaking just like the "transformation" back to The Possessed and Paisley is absolutely terrified of both suffer that much and becoming again that- that monster he's cursed to be.

-When The Possessed come back after that kind of transformation is always a hell lot H u n g r y so, better not be nearby! :)) 👌✨

I think that's all for now! I hope y'all like it and, to the next post uwu✨💜💜

Hector, what was Isaac like as a mentor?

Isaac, what was Hector like as an apprentice?

Hector: Very quick to point out mistakes.

Isaac: Well, what did you expect, to constantly be patted on the head and be told that you were a prodigy?

Hector: Hush, I'm not complaining. Isaac was strict, but he also cared that I understood everything, and he was eager and passionate. I caught up to him very quickly, thanks to him.

Isaac: Of course. Lord Dracula counted on me! Every failure of yours would reflect on me. But to be fair, you've always been a quick study. And quick to cry at the slightest mistake, too...

Hector, sighing: Did you really have to say that?

Isaac: What, should I lie to the curious people who ask us questions? Haha!

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Hoping to post some stuff tonight but honestly I might be too tired. Been a really stressful past few days and I was really drained so sorry for any half-hearted responses.

But hey. How about that first season 4 episode huh?

[diseasedcube]

I'm not sure why this only processed in my head now, but in the stage play, everyone gets a singing role.... except cutthroat, who gets a speaking role

Pokemon type specialist stereotypes

Normal - “I like bread” damn ur boring. Normal type. Fucking normal type. I feel bad for anyone whos tried to text you cause you’re definitely the the to reply “k” and “ig” to everything

Fire - “RAAAAHHHH” Fire type trainers have no chill and they also think very highly of themselves, unfortunately without their booties theyre useless. Never seen a fire type trainer who texted in lowercase

Water - “Guys lets swim in a thunder storm itll be ok g—“ weirdly athletic. Like ig that makes sense but alot of water specialists are more built than fighting specialists. Or you’re a jolly old fisher.

Grass - “photosynthesis is real” believes in crystal healings and also calls themselves cottagecore while living in like…lumios city. You are not “eepy” you are 26 and unemployed, take a fucking shower.

Electric - Nothing distinct from Fire type, but they don’t have to invest all their money into boots. Definitely has unmedicated adhd

Ice - “chill out! Haha…haha…ha…” you’re either old or a sadist. Theirs no in between. Like you’re either a sweet old man who loves the snow or you think that frostbite is the funniest thing since comedy, get help.

Fighting - “HIT ME!! HIT ME!! NEVER GIVE UP!!” You think you’re a shonen protag when you’re actually the comic relief. Musclehead who chugs protien shakes and punches their poliwrath for 6 hours straight before going to football practice.

Poison - “The poison is already erroding your pokemon’s poor health…” you THINK you’re the sadist ice type trainer but you’ll never be them, stop trying. You have a salazzle because otherwise a single steel type ruins your whole month

Ground - “*earthquake property damage joke*” you and the steel type trainer will not shut the fuck up about how competitive your types are. Quit your wiglett measuring contest. Meta this, meta that, have you ever MET A GIRL???

Flying - You don’t exist

Psychic - “i gaze into the great beyond” may or may not be actually psychic. You’re who the ghost girl wishes she was. But you also have your head very far up your own ass and won’t stop reliving the glory days of when your type was considered powerful. You think you’re so above everyone and you’re probably using the psychic type to have a nerd revenge fantasy against the fighting type jocks who shoved you into a locker in high school

Bug - “im no standard bug catcher” yes you are timmy shut the fuck up. You didn’t actually like bug types that much at first but you made them your entire personality when you saw how mean everyone else was being

Rock - you became the ground type trainer after realizing they were you but better

Ghost - “Guys im a ghost trainer isnt that quirky, aren’t i spooky and scary guys im a ghost trainer guys guys where are you going—“ prolly lives in a “cottagecore” house and does nothing but scroll on joltiktok. Uses aesthetic as their personality. Definitely traumatized. Wants lavender town to go back to how it was in the 90s

Dragon - “The majestic dragon can only be tamed by the strongest trainers” you want to be lance so fucking badly its pathetic. Definitely plays dnd. Definitely owns a cape and is either too ashamed to ever wear it, or wears it EVERYWHERE

Dark - “absol is just a misunderstood bapy” you think your takes about dark types are subversive when they aren’t. No one cares about how your hydreigon would “never do something like that” KAREN—wait thats an actual dark type trainers name fuck

Steel - Basically the ground type trainer. You’re also guaranteed to have a metagross and you have a framed photo of steven stone over your bed so you forget how alone you are.

Fairy - You live in delulu land. You have never left delulu land. And you’re best friends with the ghost type trainer. Take your medication sweetums.

Clutch: I made you heroes >:(

Surge hit some dude at a casual racing event. Who cares?

Surge and Kit being scared of Clutch makes zero sense no matter what angle you look at it from. Surge can rapid fire lightning bolts, and Kit can break apart giant robots with his water tendrils. Clutch is literally just some guy. The comic desperately wants viewers to see Clutch as the greatest danger of all time, but there's absolutely nothing to back it up.

There is quite literally nothing in the story keeping Surge from hurting Clutch. She simply left him unharmed because the story didn't want her to hurt him.

Everything in this comic is artificial and forced. Nothing is authentic or immersive. Every single aspect of every character interaction occurs purely because the writers forced things to be that way.

I just remembered that in issue 53 Surge was extremely scared of the Starline hallucination she saw and still tried fighting it Meanwhile, Clutch gets in Surge's face and bosses her around, which angers her to the point of shaking in place, and she just doesn't do anything Clutch has the most obscene plot armor of any sonic character ever made

I'm just in awe that they're weakening Surge, fan-favorite Surge, super cool and badass and girlbad Surge, spotlight-stealing Surge, for the sake of a bozo who probably has 5 fans in the whole fandom.

Who thought it was a good idea?

Ah but I'm sure fans are still happy because oh noooo poor widdle bapy surge she's so scawed and twaumatized :pleading_face:

I, reader, know that Clutch can't die yet. But I shouldn't be able to see the story behind the scenes. Surge needs a good reason for not killing Clutch after he started to taunt her in a Starline-like way. Anything, maybe she and Kit got depowered, maybe he has some machinery that can vaporize them, something that answers the question "why is Surge allowing some rando to boss her around, the thing that she hates the most after Sonic?" and is not "because the plot needs him to be alive".

[thewideawakechronicles]

Oh no, poor wuggy bapi//

(Lil baby got hurt)

[woodchipp]

The funniest argument I've seen put forth in Sunny's defense is "you can't blame him for anything considering what he went through over the course of the story!" then you take a look at the story in question and he spends most of his eponymous route dragged around by Kel, being an asswipe to Basil or tripping balls

Yeah, I'm sure defeating Generic_Scary_Monster.gif by inhaling and exhaling a few times was very hard for the poor widdle bapy lmao

[ultimate-rat-bracket]

[linkles-art-blog]

Well, since I’m finally out about the fact that I’m in this fandom, I guess it’s about time I share with y’all some of the fanart I’ve drawn for Helluva Boss and its related media.

This is my bapy Stolas, in his human form from Season 2, Episode 3, but drawn in my current style so he’s sliiiiiightly more realistically drawn than in the actual show. Basically anime human Stolas lolol.

I love my poor pathetic lovestruck boi so much. 🥺💖 He deserves to feel genuine love so fucking bad after all he’s been through. 😔

(Also I think his human disguise is adorable. 🥺💖)

Do not repost this artwork anywhere without my explicit permission or claim it as your own. See F.A.Q.s for details.

Songs I listened to while drawing this:

[theizzizzy]

What if slice of life Sam and Max got a kid!

Show me the bapis!

here’s a what if doodle of the “bapis” because idk if it should be cannon or not.

Poor boy has such a long name because they couldn’t agree on what to name him

[jojo-schmo]

OH I JUST REALIZED ELFILIS IS CONFUSED CAUSE THE COMPUTER THING-Y WROKED FOR THE COMPUTER BUT NOT FOR THEM

He lived in a lab and thought that’s how you start communication poor bapy ):

That is part of the reason! Right now their reactions and responses to stuff around them are based on their memories and previous observations. But I can’t get more specific right now! I will say he doesn’t have a lot of memories to work with right now so he’s a bit of a blank slate.

He is an unfamiliar mysterious creature, like how many other Kirby allies start out-! We will get into Elfilis’ backstory and motivations eventually I promise <3

Oh while I’ve got you here, you can imagine Elfilis with any voice you’d like. But I personally write him with a natural speaking voice similar to Lab Discovera’s tour guide/computer system (when not mimicking someone/something else)- Maybe not quite as high pitched as the lab voice, but with the same kind of airy bouncy inflection. It’s the most consistent voice in his memory so I imagine he adopted it when speaking for the first time and just kept it and made it his own from there. ;)

[skaruresonic]

I'll add more :)

Nine is treated as a tragic villain by the fandom. He's just a poor bapy boy who only wanted love, but Sonic hurt him because he thinks he's Tails and doesn't appreciate him as himself! So really, no wonder he wants to destroy the shatterverse and even kill Sonic himself! (as some of the Shatter energy or whatever it's called is inside Sonic, and pulling it out would kill him). Hell, Sonic himself apparently only wants to reason with Nine!

I just want to say that no one would forgive him if he was an Eggman counterpart. Same tragic backstory, same pain, same plan. And by all means, an Eggman wanting to destroy a multiverse out of spite is at least more coherent than a Tails doing this.

(btw no I don't think Eggman appears after the first 8 episodes lol)

I would respect Nine more if he was honest with himself: he did it all for the nookie. So Sonic can take that cookie, and stick it up his yeah, stick it up his yeah.

I'm not surprised; after all, this is the same fandom that babygirl-ified Infinite and even put forth theories that he was some sort of wayward Tails. The proto-Nine, if you will.

Before I played Forces for myself, I legit thought that Infinite was a tortured soul loyal to his pack, as opposed to a sadistic, power-hungry bully who doesn't give a single damn that his squad got killed.

craaaawling in my crawl, these crawl they will not craaaawl

Ah, yes, obvious the solution to one's inner pain. Genocide. They already pulled this particular narrative trick with King Shadow. At some point you have to pull back and think, "Does the character's agency factor in at all?" Because implying that Sonic's presence is the only thing keeping them from turning into Eggman is insulting toward the characters. In addition, it risks turning Sonic into Hedgehog Jesus, which, given how much traction the idea of Sonic being all-merciful is getting lately, is not loaded with potentially terrifying implications.

In that vein, I wonder if this mindset is the driving force behind why people insist Eggman isn't really all that bad deep down. The idea that he only does bad things because he wasn't loved enough as a kid uwu and not, you know, the fact that he's driven by unchecked greed and ego.
