#pringles helluva boss

[drama-glob]

Poor Pringles just looks so uncomfortable. Even though Stolas didn't always treat him the best from what we saw in previous episodes, Pringles certainly hates his current situation since he has not only Stella to deal with again, but now Andrealphus. O_O Poor guy as well as all the other servants. :(

Also:

Talk about being lazy and self-absorbed if you have the same picture of yourself plastered everywhere covering up the old photos with Stolas in them. It'd be one thing if they were all different, where he's just full of himself and thinks he's better than Stolas, but the fact that it's the same one over and over make me roll my eyes even harder. -_- I imagine Stolas rolling his eyes hard as well if he saw this, talking about how unoriginal Andrealphus is or wondering if he really thought that was the best picture of himself. ;)

A scenario I would love but am unsure if they will do is Pringles as the catalyst for Stolas to begin examining his privilege and bias in a very real way.

There are a few potential scenes that could be really interesting and impactful that I am already exploring in my own projects but:

If Stella and Andrelphus manage to take away Stolas’s wealth and/or position. (I think they succeed at the former for sure) I would love a scene where Stolas, trying to see Octavia or get access to his house appeals to Pringles and Pringles is unmoved. He has no allegiance or loyalty to Stolas, Stolas has been indifferent to him and all of his staff this entire time, even using them as literal props. So allowing Pringles a moment of “I am doing a job, you have treated me as a servant and therefore I will act like a servant. Who my master is, is irrelevant, you are all the same to me” would be so incredible?

Or the more cartoonish “silent stoic character loses his entire shit” trope where Stolas is bemoaning that Blitz thinks this of him and Pringles just pops off. I enjoy the stone cold drama more but this could be a really hilarious way to do it.

Because I do think it’s probably important that this learning and growth come from an imp and I think it is important that imp not be Blitz or Striker but someone attached to the institution of the Ars Goetia.

I have also considered the slightly crackish possibility that Pringles is a background orchestrator of Stolas’s downfall, maybe even the “Mastermind”. He has observed everything, he probably knows everything. The only reason I shy away from that is Stella is definitely worse so there’s no benefit on his part to allying with her, surely his job is more tolerable without her, less cleaning up broken crockery for sure, though maybe more fridge contents. And I can’t see a benefit for him to doing that unless he was paid a very large sum and allowed to retire. That seems more Andrelphus’s speed not Stella’s. I don’t necessarily like that as I would rather it be from a genuine place of “you have treated me horribly, this is what happens” than “I was paid to betray you”. I much prefer the “You have in no way earned my loyalty or respect” route.

So... how Stolas treated you when you served him? Was squeezing you like a stress toy a one time thing or did it happen more often?

I dont even know how many lasting injuries I have at this point... I'm surprised my right horn is still intact.

Of course, more happened behind the curtains, but alas, that's what imp servants have to endure. I am expendable to these people, after all.

:: Stolas' butler/valet, Pringles/ Impington, looks so much more uncomfortable with Andrealphus and Stella.

This man has job burnout as a baseline, period. He's chronically tired and nervous with a near permanent furrowed brow. But Sinsmas episode he looks like he's at a higher stress level more than ever. He's SUFFERING. He's stuck serving 2 awful people. He may have been manhandled and treated poorly by Stolas, but probably not as viciously as Stella and Adrealphus can, and the verbal threats are probably even worse with Andrealphus.

The Stolas household has 3 main imp servants These 2, Wiki calls them Flower and Trevor:

And our beloved Pringles/ Impington:

This is what he looks like with Stella:

Pringles when he's dealing with Stolas and involves Stella:

When he's alone with Stolas only:

He's still has eye bags, but he is less stressed and weary, he even has enough space to make an expression of exasperation and weariness and a face of 'I hate this job...and this idiot'. But now onto the Sinsmas episode. They have a change of uniform and look at this poor lad. It's taking every ounce of himself not to fall apart and to maintain his composure, while Stella and Andrealphus are ridiculing Stolas and relishing in his attempts to try to contact Octavia. He's having a worse time with these two in charge.

VS

These three, who are unbothered or just focusing doing their jobs.

I'm willing to bet that Pringles prefers Stolas way more than Stella and Andrealphus. I am curious what his relationship with Octavia is like.

The Saga of Pringles

Or basically all of his appearances up to this point.

Take a drink everytime he looks uncomfortable at something Stella says.

"Boss, get out!"

No phone holders required at the Not Divorced Party, that or Pringles gets the nights off, no doubt partying it up at Ozzie's. But all good things must come to an end.

Your boss sleeps with someone of your race and this happens. Pringles thinking, "What do I have to do with this? I was OFF that night!"

And to boot, your boss says he doesn't want to sleep with you. Pringles thinks, "Your loss!"

But he still needs the phone carried so he hire his trick for a fake security job while they visit Loo Loo Land.

Time passes, they were able to repair your broken horn but the boss's wife has now hired a hitman to kill him. But surely he can hear this and take action? Right?

"Right?!"

True to his name, Pringles can't have just one!

Meanwhile, at another table:

Boss and his mistress get publicly mocked by freakin' Verosika Mayday, Fizzarolli and Asmodeus!

Boss's wife is officially moving out and things were suppose to be easier. You know he owns a cellular phone..why does he not use his cellular phone, why is your life a continuing torture?!

Some time later, Boss receives a special package from Asmodeus? What the fuck is going on?!

Boss starts singing at 7am, tears the kitchen open looking for his medicine. Then proceeds to throw out all the contents of the refrigerator and climb inside, declaring that he'll die alone if that night goes wrong.

Two months later, the wife and her brother, that she may or may not be sleeping with, have moved in and covered everything in ice and one poster of himself.

Boss was kicked out a month ago after singing about using his mistress for gain on national tv.

I want these 4 imps to plan an inside job to get Blitzø and/or Stolas back into the palace to oust Andrealphus and Stella because of all royal pricks to serve, Stolas is one of the less difficult to work for.

[miki-13]

Theory for the trial: Stolas is gonna hear his voice messages to Blitz from Season 1 and realize what an asshole he's unintentionally been, (potentially alongside Octavia's reason-you-suck-speech)

And the one who gives access to the voice messages?

Pringles, who has had fucking enough of Stolas’ nonsense.

Pringles, who has been abused and yeeted about ever since his first appearance working for Stolas.

Pringles, who also puts in his two-minute notice along with the incriminating evidence.

[warblogs17282]

Has the fandom generally agreed on a name for the little purse imp in this picture?

Like if the fandom agreed on 'Pringles' for Stolas' servant surely there's a fandom name for the purse imp right?

Feel free to tell me your name ideas if you have any as well

[rhiandoesfandom]

Whenever I read a fic and Blitz doesn't know Stolas's butler's name.

Okay one: yes he would he would know every imp's name even if it's awkward.

Two: it's fucking PRINGLES.

MASTERMIND SPOILERS

Tumblr I just realized something.

If Andre is taking over Stolas' palace, Stolas' butler guy will now be completely under Stella/Andre's thumb.

Stolas himself needed to treat this guy a lot better as it was. Send this man help.

I like to believe Pringle isn't getting so much attention because he works for a Goetia Prince, but because he's just that good
