My thoughts on the Playbill Character bios (Part 1):

Was gonna share my theory on Alastor's powers but since SOMETHING possibly leaked and put my theories and thoughts into question I'm putting it on hold for a bit.

Not gonna talk about each character because I don't have something to say for each one.

-Charlie: So THIS is how we find out she has mommy AND daddy issues. Good to know, good to know.

-Alastor: Either writing on a typewriter, glitched the writing somehow, left the caps lock on, or was screaming the entire interview. All fitting to his character. Also, glad to know my joke headcanon that his broadcasts in hell aren't really that scheduled and are whenever. Also he picks people who "wrong him" first to be his 'Guests' genuinely thought those could just be either random demons or ONLY Overlords. And of course, the dude is actively encouraging violence so he can have fun and ends his thing with a smile. :)

-Vaggie: So...Do all the exorcists have training for synchronized dancing? Would explain them doing that during Adam's song in Ep.1. But I'm curious if it's connected to why Vaggie is apparently the best dancer in the hotel or she just naturally is good at it.

-Husk: Why 'Husker'??? I thought it was just a random nickname Alastor made, is that his legit demon name and EVERYONE just shortens it? Also grouchy dude is grouchy. Little disappointed we didn't get another cool lore bomb from him.

-Sir Pentious: FINALLY AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION!!! The dude is technically not an Overlord. Just wanted to be one or was just beginner level (little sad since he's been around before many of the actual other overlords, but makes sense. He's too nice for his own good). Worked for Carmilla and Vox, explaining why her daughters personally delivered him equipment (he's a former employee so they know it's safe to go in-person) AND why Vox knew of him enough to know he would do anything to join the Vees. I don't believe he made the Egg Boiz himself for the same reason I don't believe Vox beat Alastor in a fight. If it happened, you wouldn't repeat in emphasis. So for people who wanted Pent to have a past partnership with Baxter this is good evidence of that.

-Lucifer: "I miss my wife tails, I miss her so much". I would love to see him and the Sins actually perform on screen. Maybe for Sinsmas episode??? Please.

[I can't believe the longest thought I wrote was about a character I don't even like]

More thoughts about "Mastermind", etc: 1) When you look at the "most viewed" part of a Youtube video it's almost always a sexy moment. But this time I think we all know _exactly_ what the most viewed moment is. Bryce and Brandon were born for these roles and Sam Haft is a fucking genius.

2) (looks up this Patrick Page guy) No wonder everyone swooned over Hadestown! The vocal talent in these shows is ridiculous.

3) Oh. As @hina-has-no-life pointed out, Blitz isn't being hailed as a hero because he survived the trial. It's because Satan livestreamed the whole thing, being too lazy and contemptuous to even think about editing, and all of Hell has now seen Blitz _successfully_ argue with Satan himself to defend his employees, to speak out for all imp-kind who are just "doing their jobs", and to use his final words to shout defiance at the unfair system. That's gotta be unheard of. It probably won't last, but for the moment, kid Blitzo has achieved his dream. He is the most famous imp ever.

4) We've seen Stolas gleefully tackle a huge pile of paperwork in "Oops". And in "Ghostfuckers", we saw Moxxie despairing over an even bigger pile. Was this all setup for Stolas's new career at IMP? 5) Prediction: It won't be until bedtime the next night that Stolas realizes Blitz doesn't have a bedroom. And he's just too tall for that sofa. He needs his own place, but how could he possibly afford one?

6) Prediction: Loona and Millie will each find a quiet moment to deliver a shovel talk to Stolas. Moxxie will be too busy showing Stolas the ropes and being so relieved to have someone competent to shove the accounting off on. But when Stolas asks in bewilderment how the finances got so bad, Moxxie will point at a downward-trending graph and say "See that? That's when you two broke up." 7) Hope for the future: someday Moxxie, Stolas and Vassago will go see musicals together while Blitz and Millie hang out and shoot pool (and the occasional bystander). Everyone will be happy with this arrangement. 8) Barbie saw that broadcast. So did Cash. So did Paimon. All of them will show up in S3. 9) Wait, Stolas began studying the grimoire to do his job as a young kid. We don't actually know what his job _is_, other than "finding prophecies", but Andrealphus won't have clue one about how to do it. Will he make Via do it for him? Will Paimon show up to tell him he's an incompetent asshat and take it away? Or will Stolas regain his position before it matters? 10) I still want to know about the legions! Is there literally an army division somewhere twiddling its thumbs waiting for a war? Does Stolas mentor officers and run war games? Or is this, like, a metaphorical sort of legions? Eldritch beings summoned from the void? It would be hilarious if Andrealphus visited "his" new legions and it's just three bored shark demons and an imp sitting around reading comic books. 11) I'm throwing my hat in the ring and betting that Stolas and Blitz will be a couple by Sinsmas morning. Of course it would be "sensible" for them to take time to work on their own stuff, but neither of them strikes me as that kind of person. Plus I'm sure Stolas has thought about how brief imp lifespans are compared to his own, and what a dangerous career Blitz has even by demon standards. What use is being sensible if it means giving up the limited time you have with the person you love? Also, I really thought Loona's antagonistic relationship with Moxxie and general feeling of inferiority was being built up as a significant part of her character arc, that she and M&M would have to work things out and come to a position of mutual respect. But "Ghostfuckers" showed them making progress in that direction, without anything needing to be said. That's not a criticism - but it did remind me that a show's creators aren't always going to make the same choices we would, or give things the same weight we would. If Stolitz mostly reaches their happy ending next episode, that doesn't make the story weak or problematic or whatever. It just means Viv and Brandon think they have reached a good place with each other, and it's time for the show to focus on other things for S3.

Silly Helluva Boss Rant/Critic

!Spoiler Warning!

NOTE: I Am NOT A Professional Writer, This Is My OPINION On Season 2. If Opinions Trigger You, Dont Read.

i have so much to say about this stupid show oh my gosh where do i even start?

honestly i just miss the older episodes of the show, like season 1, when it was just silly demon comedy and viv wasnt trying to add depth to the characters. even though originally i liked the idea of more depth in the show when episode 7 happened. but clearly viv doesnt know how to write characters. blitz(obviously cuz hes the main character) and verosika(somehow) are the only half decent characters imo. but thats not saying much

i love the shorts though. they feel like mini season 1 episodes.

in episode 7, it introduced a conflict between stolas and blitz. but then it put it off the ENTIRE SEASON til full moon which was 8 episodes. and in those 8 episodes, blitz and stolas just acted like nothing happened?? no mention of it at all?

and full moon was hyped up so much for what? there was like 5 minutes of actual stolitz. the entire episode was basically about the cherubs, agents, and blitz buying sex toys.

and all the conflict is so fucking forced. all these fucks need to do is communicate omg. like in full moon , if stolas let blitz talk to him at the end, we'd be done. blitz clearly has a hard time opening up and being vunerable but he was about to actually talk with stolas BUT NO stolas teleports him outside so they can stretch it on a couple more episodes! and then in sinsmas when stolas and octavia are fighting if octavia just listened, it would be over. but of course, we still need more drama even though the show was better WITHOUT it.

mastermind wasnt all that good tbh. i feel like it needed more time. and the fake out deaths bored me. viv already confirmed that the end of season 1 would have canon stolitz so obviously they werent gonna kill blitz or stolas. but andrealphus' plan made no sense. like, it completely depended on stolas watching tv at the exact time the broadcast happened and there being no live delay. comedy was actually pretty good though. and the stolas poor arc seems fun.

and the only slightly good that came out of the stolitz mess was ghostfuckers(aka the millie episode) cuz blitz was sad abt stolas. but im very glad we got that because i started watching around like episode 2 release(which means i waited 4 YEARS) and i always really liked millie(i love strong women) and im actually quite happy with it even if blitz was still technically in the spotlight more. but also shes pregnant. wow. but i feel like the show needed something like that. because i doubt they can stretch the octavia and stolas shit a whole seasons length. so their gonna need something else to bring drama because they love drama.

and unhappy campers. i fucking hate unhappy campers. it baited everyone into thinking it was the millie episode. but she says like two lines that mean something for her character. and moxie felt so ooc too. it was so unfunny. i watched it straight faced. season 2 hasnt been focused on comedy as much as before and its obvious. but usually i at least let out a small chuckle once or twice. BUT NOT THIS EPISODE. and the barbie wire stuff felt shoved in. it literally came out of nowhere. it was just such a shit episode entirely.

fucking stolas used to be my favorite character but all the self-victimizing shit was so annoying especially in apology tour. he said blitz made him uncomfortable but what about all the times he made others umcomfortable? like in harvest moon, when he called blitz blitzy in front of everyone and blitz is clearly embarrassed?? and when he started talking about blitz' dick IN FRONT OF HIS DAUGHTER??? stop acting like a victim, stolas. you arent. i think maybe he got a little better in sinsmas but barely. and this isnt story related, but stolas' voice actor has such a good vocal range?? like the apology tour song blew me away. i love his voice so much.

oh my god, dont get me started on how viv treats octavia.. i used to love octavia and still kinda do... but now theres 3 episodes of just her being mad at her father and its getting REALLY repetitive. and yea, she does have the right to be mad at him because stolas sacrificed himself for blitz, thinking he would die(even if he didnt) which probably hurt her a lot. but i was hoping sinsmas would show us more of her as a person, like her hobbies(ig they showed her singing but so does everyone else in the show soo), her interests, literally anything about her but her being mad at stolas. i was hoping we'd finally see how her and stella feel about eachother. but no. they talked once but could you even call it talking cuz all stella did was take her phone while laughing and octavia didnt say anything. she was clearly annoyed with her mother but that doesnt really give us a dynamic. and also in stolas and vias argument at the end of sinsmas, it felt like she was purposely taking everything he said the wrong way just for more drama. especially about the happy pills thing. stolas said she was the only good thing in his life so she then says shes an obligation. LIKE NO, hes saying he cares. which yea, he might kinda be bad dad but he does try his hardest and she could at least acknowledge that but still be disappointed.

and stella. i was hoping they would end up doing something with her like giving her a back story that made her so bitchy or something. but then the first ep of season 2 turns her into just a villian. she was just born evil apparently because that totally happens. shes literally nothing but a plot device. and im not against plot devices if they actually do their job. like isha from arcane for example, shes a plot device for jinx development but she actually does her job. shes interesting enough and gives you all you need from a plot device. but stella literally just leaves you wanting more. shes barely a character. we know nothing about her. all she does is start more meaningless drama. shes not even likable as a villain.

now, verosika(AKA best character). shes actually kind of well written? i wish we had more of her this season but also dont because they probably wouldve ruined her too. she only had a 5 minute convo with blitz in apology tour but it made me love her so much more. and her trying to help others after blitz hurt them like he hurt her is so sweet. and then her giving blitz cake, acknowedgling he hates himself just as much as everyone else at this party. i love her sm bro. unrelated but her design is so nice. and she looks so good in all her outfits. loved her fit in the 1 second of screentime she had in mastermind. and i immdediatley recognized her voice in the chrsitmas party song and got so happy

also on the official yt video for the verosika song, the second comment said "I guess Blitzo finally enjoys her music now after, I can imagine, years of it tormenting him with guilt and regret" and i would like to agree with that statement.

i think thats all my criticism. so uh.. bye

Thoughts on Mastermind

(So yeah spoilers ahead)

So after letting my thoughts on the episode settle a bit and giving myself time to analyze, I have a LOT to say.

So first of all… yeah I think this is officially my new favorite Helluva episode.

I think this episode was pretty well paced (a little fast, but there was a LOT to cover) and also did a surprisingly good job at balancing the drama and humor. Also obviously ADORED the IMP found family showcased in this episode, they were entertaining in the first scene, and heart wrenching at the court.

Now for a bit more analysis, the way they handled the writing was REALLY interesting here. While first watching the episode, I was a little confused about Andrealphus’s plan, but after thinking about it… it’s scarily clever.

He knows that Stolas is smart in his own right, if he straight up brought him to court, he’d find a good way to argue. He knows how to work this type of stuff as shown in Oops. But if they brought in only Blitzø, they knew Stolas wouldn’t see until the broadcasted execution. He would have no time to form a concrete rational plan, Andre wants him to either act irrationally, or make himself look like a fool and incompetent. No one knows exactly what he’ll do, but Andre is giving Stolas as little time as possible to think it out. The hope is that he acts as irrationally as he has before.

And even if Stolas didn’t come, Andre purposely tries to make Stolas seem weak and somewhat helpless, incompetent. All the while he makes himself look an almost better version of our favorite bird. His backup plan is to make Stolas look incompetent and vulnerable, while it may be less immediate, with Stolas’s already somewhat declining reputation, this would make it easier for him to take Stolas’s title.

And despite being EXTREMELY irrational, Stolas did a pretty good job with his plan in my opinion. First of all, he brought ALL the theater kid energy in the song (which was an absolute banger by the way, I don’t care how cheesy the Stolitz part was I LOVE CHEESY) and did a great job playing the part. To me, this is proof that he had finally started to realize the classism. This is the type of part you can only play by understanding it even if you don’t necessarily believe it. He plays up the the classism and distaste for imps, he uses the fact that the other royals see them as useless and incompetent. And honestly, I think it was smart of him to be so vague in the song. Once again, he didn’t have a lot of time to think this through, and he somewhat used this to his advantage. Being vague added an air of mystery and made it seem like more of an unpredictable threat. He’s building up the fact that this mastermind has a dangerous plan, something possibly having to do with taking over the mortal realm. And then when he reveals himself to be the “mastermind”? Well of course he wouldn’t expose any of his “future plans”, Stolas is playing as someone who just wants the recognition and to be feared. Someone arrogant, feeling offended that an imp was getting the credit for his crimes. Claiming he has more planed while not naming those plans makes him a threat and will draw away almost any blame from Blitzø.

And of course this plan is impulsive, but he barely has any time to plan. He arrives right before the axe is about to come down on his lover’s neck. His only goal right now is making sure Blitzø stays alive. In the song he even acknowledges how impulsive it is to throw everything away for this idiot he is still frankly mad at. But he’s learned he can choose his fate, and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

And of course I ADORED the Stolitz in this episode, they were both so perfectly dramatic and the absolute SOFTNESS in the last scene had me making absolute demonic and feral noises. But, despite this somewhat being a closure to the season 2 Stolitz drama (however we do still have Sinsmas) I’m happy they’re still leaving room for more angst even with them now being able to properly blossom. This episode did an EXCELLENT job at showcasing the classism via the unfairness of the court case, so it feels fitting that at the end the power dynamic almost switches. Blitzø is now a celebrity amongst imps and lower class demons, while Stolas essentially lost everything, including his daughter. And while I definitely think this is setting up for angst in at least the next episode (in which I very much think they’re going to go and try to save Octavia from her bitchy mother), this power dynamic is going to feel different, because while there is still somewhat a power dynamic now, there is also a much larger level of understanding between the two of them. They now feel more capable of facing this together, there is less doubt of feelings. I’m REALLY excited to see how they handle this, and yes I also am an absolute sucker for hurt/comfort.

Those are most of my major thoughts in this episode. I loved every single part of this beautifully dramatic episode (yeah I expectantly loved Vassago) but most of the other things I would bring up have already been said. Plus this post is too long so yeah that’s it for now.

[ask-radio-deerman]

Yes, Merry Sinsmas to you all.

Make sure to tune in for a special broadcast.

[hisslord]

Misfits Sinsmas song i thought up:

"Satan rest ye fearful gentlemen let madness come your way.

Remember that the Misfit Three are here to spread dismay.

To wreak their prankings near and far so do watch what you say!

O tidings of mischief and fun

Mishcief and fun

O tidings of mischief and fun!"

XD Alastor definitely would sing that on his Sinsmas broadcasts

[dspite]

Comparatively minor next to everything OP mentioned, but it's also worth noting that back in Ghostfuckers (canonically set in either November or early December since Apology Tour was set on Halloween) Blitz had been confirmed to have drained both Moxxie and Millie's pensions during his unsuccessful attempt at retail therapy.

While it's possible that the sheer amount of work they got between Mastermind and Sinsmas thanks to Satan's broadcast may have gotten I.M.P. out of the red, we see that Blitz still can't even pay for some new clothes for Stolas, so what does that say about Moxxie and Millie's financial security both in the present AND going forward? They've probably already had to cut back on A LOT of luxuries and possibly even necessities while they slowly get back up to a financially safe place in the interim, and we know all-too-well just how unforgiving Hell can be to imps.

Even without all the foes they've accumulated over the past year (in-universe) breathing down their necks, and even with Moxxie getting more confident with melee combat and Loona getting into a more proactive role at I.M.P. thanks to Stolas taking on the job of I.M.P.'s new secretary (read: Millie needing to take maternity leave won't hurt their business too badly overall), it's still a scary position to be in.

When Millie reveals that she's pregnant, she's unsure of what to do and hasn't even told Moxxie. While it could be pre-birth jitters many women have when they first learn they're pregnant, she might have more to fear.

Her and Moxxie's line of work is a very dangerous one. There's no guarantee that they can survive every mission they get, leaving their kid a potential orphan should Millie choose to give birth. But I.M.P has many enemies in Hell who're out for their blood, be it Striker, Crimson and of course Andrealphus, whose ass they kicked literally just hours prior. Millie has more to be worried about outside the typical pregnancy fears.

[annachum]

Some post Sinsmas theories I have based on the spoilers I got so far :

. Okay so after Octavia cut ties off Stolas then, once Octavia went back inside, Andrealphus and Stella began packing their bags to flee to Sloth due to humiliation of Andrealphus getting defeated by a bunch of imps

. Meanwhile Stella berated Octavia for defending Stolas, while Octavia yells back that she doesn't want to really have Stolas dead

. Stella slaps Octavia and a shocked and hurt Octavia got the first brush to realize why Stolas took all those pills

. The very next day they go to Sloth for Andrealphus' ice castle, and then Octavia found herself wearing Sloth Royal clothes while wearing some of Stella's old pink outfits

. And then in the DiGalaxis Sinsmas Party, Stella publicly announced that Octavia was bethrothed to one of Octavia's male maternal cousins - who is also Phenex and Andromalius' smarmy son

. Octavia was too shocked to even respond because she wasn't even told of the ' surprise '

. Octavia flat out said no to the bethrothal and caused a big scene, but then Stella flat out berated her in front of everyone else while everyone else just WATCHED. The rest of the DiGalaxises tried in vain to persuade her that they are doing what is ' best ' for her, but Octavia retorted back to, ' Well, that's what my dad and his relatives also told me, didn't they? And now they abandoned me.....'

. Stella threatens Octavia that, if she doesn't comply, Stella will have EVERYONE on Team Stolas to be destroyed. Octavia quickly complies while in tears

. Soon after New Years Day, Stolas and Blitzo received the big shock of their lives - Stella and Andrealphus interrupted the TV programmes to live broadcast a whole press conference of Octavia and that smarmy lad's bethrothal. And even worse is that Octavia was literally threatened by gun point behind her back to portray how she ' couldn't be happier '

. Already IMP and Stolas are gearing to crash the press conference.

. And then Paimon instantly interrupted the broadcast by publicly announcing that he and Amethyst laid down the official word that they will not approve of this bethrothal because of the whole war thing is just too great. And Vassago led fleets to crash the press conference. To make matters worse, Stella threw her own daughter to a prisoner dungeons where she'll stay until the Bloodstone wedding

. And for the whole month, Stella kept on being bullied and abused by her maternal relatives in tow

. Amethyst was so distraught by the forced engagement news that she literally cursed an eternal winter on Sloth.....and will only lift the curse once Octavia is back.

. The Goetia fleets and IMP still work to fight against the DiGalaxis fleets and also fight to get Octavia back.

. Eventually those other Goetias asked IMP how they can defeat Andrealphus without magic

. Blitzo explained to them everything, which inspired the plan to crash the Bloodstone wedding

. On the Bloodstone wedding day, Octavia at that point already pieced together the whole truth through her own detective work and eavesdropping. She also planned for escape many times but failed then. And on that day, she plotted to kill her soon to be ex fiance.

. She walked down the aisle with dried tears down her face, in a wedding dress that is lavender with a fluted collars and fire elements, and a pink cover up veil.

. Just as Stella was threatened by Stella's parents to say her vows, IMP and the Goetias and their legions crashed in.

. Pandemonium ensues, and Vassago opened up a portal to allow Octavia to escape with Loona and Moxxie ( Millie stayed behind cuz she's pregnant ). The rest be battling it out with those DiGalaxises

. And Stolas uses his Moon sword ( which was given to him by Ashtoreth ) to kill Octavia's ex fiance, right in front of Phenex's eyes ( who SCREAMED at the death of her son )

. Paimon killed Andromalius

. Stella, Andrealphus, and their parents barely escaped.

. Meanwhile, a super shaken Octavia was comforted by Loona, Moxxie, Fizz and Vortex. Octavia apologizing to them all how sorry she is for being so confused and such. And they all show that they forgive her

. Once the DiGalaxises in tow are defeated ( and those DiGalaxises who survive flee the Ice Castle, which was burned down by Paimon ), Blitzo and Stolas return to check on a shaken Octavia

. Stolas and Octavia reunite and they and Blitzo have a heart to heart talk together

. There's still so much pain to be healed, but at least Octavia can start to forgive her dad

. And it turns out Octavia was so shaken and wants to leave the mess behind that it becomes universally agreed that Octavia will stay in the Pentagram Asylum until the whole mess is over

. While Octavia was staying over there, she gains a full perspective of the truth, goes through deep healing in therapy and such, bonds with many patients who are also affected by the war, and learns to honor her truth

. The Goetias all mourn for Octavia and soon learned to forgive her - they are just grateful that Octavia is alive

. Octavia only has limited visits permitted to the rest of the Goetias and only allowed IMP and Stolas to visit her more at first

. Eventually, the rest of the Goetias can visit her more

. IMP helped Octavia to navigate life outside royalty, while the rest of the Goetias done whatever they can to help her recover, with rekindling of bond through shared hobbies and helped her tutor certain subject

. It becomes a haunting realization for those Goetias that they Also inadvertently hurt her, even though they've done whatever they could to protect her.

. So they soon decided to repair within themselves for the sake of Octavia - she's a darling of the Goetias, after all

Sinsmas Broadcast

[alteregozowie]

"Heyyyyy, Al... I got another request for ya! Can ya please dedicate Santa Baby ta my Husky baby? And I've got some very specific instructions for him: tell him ta meet me in my room, make sure he's wearin' a Santa hat and nothin' else. I need Daddy Sinmas ta tell me if I've been a good boy this year..."

@top-shelf-tender

"Well Angel, I sure can play that for you- oh? What's this?"

"Oh gee, would you look at that- silly equipment! The broadcast cut off right after the word Husky! How unfortunate!"

"I'm so sorry, but here's the best version of this song anyways!"

[alteregozowie]

"I've got a fun request, that famous song usually played with those amazing light shows. Carol of the Bells by Trans Siberian Orchestra." Discord is happy to make this his request.

"Oh I like that one in particular. It's so good."

[alteregozowie]

“I would like to request the song, Baby It’s Cold Outside, for my boyfriend.”

@the-delightful-temptation “I can’t wait to celebrate Sinmas with you.”

"Awwwwww~ This is so sweet! Here you go, my dear! See this is the kind of request I'm talking about!"

"I didn't know this version existed."

[the-al-pals]

"I hope you enjoyed the impromptu broadcast, ladies and gentlemen," Cal says, his voice still much softer and quieter than usual. He continues raking his claws through Al's hair. "Furthermore, I hope you all have a wonderful Sinsmas Eve. This has been Alastor. Signing off."

There's a quiet but noticeable click as his broadcast is ended. His head turns then so he can look down at Al, his soft smile widening just a smidgen. "You brought dinner. How romantic of you."

@voodoodaaddy asked:

Alastor brings in some fat hell chickens from out in the woods, carrying them in his teeth to lay them on the table. He joins Cal, curling up at his hooves because he's tired and cold.

Cal's head silently swivels 'round when he hears the door to his tower open.

It's Alastor. He's allowed in here.

He relaxes and continues singing, not having missed a beat despite the semi-unexpected, but welcome, intrusion. He watches his mate bring the chickens in, set them down, and then move over to join him at his desk.

Once he's laid down, Cal reaches down to gently rake his clawed fingers through the other Radio Demon's hair and over his ears. The other hand keeps holding his book, its thumb flipping to the next page as Cal smiles to himself.

This is peaceful.

He likes it.
