How I imagine what could happen in Helluva Boss for the future after The Mastermind, even if it isn't likely.
SPOILERS for Helluva Boss. Usually I don't talk about the Hellaverse, especially after the Tekken fanclubs on deviantArt got plagued by Hazbin Hotel characters despite being tonally and artistically different one another. Seriously, they have nothing in common aside from having devils.
Anyway...
Blitz is now at his peak by being the hero of the imp population (his sister Barbie Wire might still disagree with that notion), Stolas lost his position of power to Andrealphus and is now living under Blitz's office as his roommate/housemaid, while Andrealphus now has custody over Octavia.
I imagine Via won't like Andrealphus very much, who will probably be overtly uncaring for her wants and needs, even more-so than Stella, who at least pretends to care. I'm actually curious on Stella and if she actually cares for her own daughter or not. Maybe she will continue to be emotionally manipulative, warning her on that she could lose her position and privileges like her father if she dares to go see her father or defy her mother and uncle.
Given how she never really yells back at her brother like she would to Stolas (she sorta does but more like a child who knows she's in trouble with her parents), I wonder if Stella will get more depth compared to Andrealphus when it comes to how to deal with Octavia. Maybe he will arrange for Via to be married like how Paimon forced his son Stolas to marry Stella, or maybe Via will be more rebellious to Andrealphus and say how at least Stolas tries his best for her in spite of his own shortcomings, angering Andrealphus to try and punish her so severly. Would Stella, who will always hate Stolas, actually care enough for her own daughter to stand up to her brother? Maybe Andrealphus tries to use the Grimoire to banish Octavia to the Wrath Ring but Stella pushes her out of the way to save her, much to Andrealphus's shock and horror before Octavia runs away from home with the Grimoire, escalating the drama.
Next Helluva Shorts starts with Stella landing in some mud and finds herself in a farm, tended by Sallie May. Obviously, Stella would be more angry at the sight out of a dirty imp than what Andrealphus tried to do to Octavia, or at least puts on her usual face to hide what just happened, demanding to be brought back to her castle until Sallie tells she would have to take a bus among imps, much to her disgust, so decides to sit around until a portal opens up for her rescue, demanding to be pampered but doesn't have any power where she's at to suit her usual lifestyle, so Sallie makes her work in the farm in the meantime, leading to a montage of Stella struggling to carry haystacks, moving hogs around, tending crop, etc. before throwing another temper tantrum over her hatred towards imps to an amused Sallie May. Hard cut to the two of them (implied to be) having sex inside the barn, with Stella crying tears of joy because she wanted someone promiscuous and dominant like Sallie, who is leagues above what Stolas could provide for the likes of Stella, who wants to Sallie to tell her that she's a bad girl and wants to be punished. Next morning, Stella is getting dressed, looking embarrassed, almost confessing to Sallie that she actually really likes her but then a portal opens up, Andrealphus comes out looking concerned, Stella immediately switches back to her usual-self, yelling at Sallie for being a disgusting imp while writing a note to give to her. Stella screams that she doesn't want to see Sallie's disgusting face ever again but the note reads for her to call her every single because she wants her so badly.
It'll probably never happen. Maybe Stella will drop the pretence on her love for Octavia and she'll run away to be with their father. Just an idea from Sallie and Stella's VAs being real life friends and happy to push that ship. Nothing (visibly) explicit but ways to push Stella. Maybe the writers have a better idea on what to do and this whole blog you're just reading be all for nothing.

The symbolism in the Blitz merch is so real rn...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of Blitzø’s Halloween merch heavily features the full moon in some sort of capacity. I mean it makes sense to fit his werewolf look, but...
The poster/playmat design explicitly features him going feral whilst staring at the full moon. (Sweet Jesus, he is so hot)
Tumblr media
But the shirt design? This motherfucker is wearing a gold chain that's just been broken, and right behind him is the full moon.
Also funny little tidbit:
Most characters have a funny little backdrop to go with their costume...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ozzie's backdrop is a giant computer to fit with his mad scientist look.
Stella's backdrop is literally just blood splatter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sallie Mae has bales of hay for her scarecrow look.
Verosika features a spaceship and a heart shaped planet for her Astronaut costume.
But Stolas...
Tumblr media
Doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles like a grave marker or flying bones or whatever...
Right next to him is his little skeleton butler imp.
~~~
I'm probably thinking way too heavily on this symbolism, and it's all just coincidence, but like... wow...

I'm glad Loona and Via are confirmed Bi and ace.
However, there ain't no way Millie is straight. Millie, who wondered what sex with Verosika was like, straight? Ain't no way.
Also Sallie is lesbian, that's cool. Apple, Coco, Bee, Barbie, and Verosika are all pan? Okay. I mean at least Barbie and Verosika are girl kissers. So... verbie when?😉
Also, where's Stella? Ain't no way her manhating ass isn't lesbian

HIHIHI, I was wondering if you could match me up with a Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, and a Sally face character? IF THAT'S TOO MANY YOU CAN JUST DO ONE OR THE OTHER
OOKAY so, basic info, yappa yappa, I'm not good at thiisiss
My name is Sophie, I am Hispanic though I know NOTHING about Spanish UHUSHSU🤺🤺 I and gender fluid (They/She/He), I'm a January Aquarius (if that matters), and a INTP/INFP
Personality wise : I guess I'm an ambivert? MOST OF THE TIIMMMEE I'll mirror one's personality, but in general, it depends how close I am with said person 💪😼 Once you get to REALLY know me, I have little to no filter (in the right situations), I can be really sarcastic, really sexual (in a joking manner/as long as the other party is okay with it), affectionately insult, and I curse like a witch being trialed. I get irritated easily though, but I (try) to keep that to myself, being a people pleaser. Oh, I tell a joke? It's a dad joke. My love languages are gift giving, and depending on the person, a bit of physical touch (Side hugs, hand holding, ECT.)
FOR MY STYLEE... I REALLY think it's a huge mix of dark clothes: Goth, Adam Sandler, skateboard, Grunge, ECT., though I'm REALLY open minded!
I saw some people talk about their physical appearance.. SO LETS DO IITT : Brown, wavey hair that goes all the way to my lower back (I WANNA CUT IT AHHH), bangs that I absolutely DO NOT know how to style, somewhere between tan-white skin, roundish-almond, brown eyes, upper lip beauty mark, rectangular body shape with MEAT IN THE THIGHS RAHH 🥓🍖 My nose is straighter than I am, y'all
I LOOVVE Wine, literally heaven on earth. I also love drawing, animating, singing, writing, doing random voice overs, doing voice impressions, music (Mostly metal, rock, Goth, alt/indie, electronic), anything horror, insects, space, reptiles, basically any animal, anatomy, origami, and some other stuff I forgot about.
Some extra stuff about mee, I am usually very closed off and try to be polite until I have a deep friendship with a person, I am THE total fucking opposite. I love the internet, it literally raised me, therefore, I will cherish it (most of the time at least). I am literally a perfectionist, like AHHHH. I am very naive, like help me, I've caused so many problems with my naiveness 😭😭🤺
I LOVE daydreaming, why be in the real world when you can star off into space and pretend you're in another? Despite being the youngest in my family, I am surprisingly the one who acts like an older sister. I LOVE BABIES!!! Like, my step-aunt had a baby ALSO named Sofie, and I got to hold her AHSHAHHZH. I can be a bit hypersexual (FUCK YOU TRAUMA), But I know how to control it because I'm just like that 💪😼👹
———
I'm SOO sorry if this is too lengthy
I hope you're having a wonderful day/night! Thank you in advance if you DO match me with a character
HI LOVE!!!!! OFC!!2!1!1!
IVE DECIDED TO PAIR YOU WITH!!!!!!!!! …… HUSK, LARRY JOHNSON &….. BLITZØ!!!
~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
Although you don’t realize it at first, it’s really easy to get along with husk. Even if you aren’t drinking!!
I think your personality drew this kitty in!! Although he doesn’t mind the sexual jokes, he would prefer to keep them to a minimum. He loved when you are sarcastic with him- or make jokes. Thats his humor as well, and loves to indulge in someone who has similar humor!!
Although you get irritated quickly- he can tell immediately. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. He will being you somewhere quiet/alone and away from people and talk to you about it.
He would try to help you NOT be a people pleaser, def the guy to stick up for you and tell that person to do it themselves.
Although his love language seems to be quality time- he doesn’t mind any!! He’ll feel bad to take gifts from you tho :(
He’d enjoy watching your outfits!! One day he’ll ask you to be goth- another adam!! He thinks anything you wear is cute on you.
If you love wine, he’ll MAKE sure he always has it in stock for you- let alone let anyone else order it. Probably hides it too.
He’d love to hear about your interests, or new animations, or even hearing you sing!!
Even if you’re naive!! He will be your bodyguard. Literally might be so annoying but he’s up your ass.
Even if you think you have imperfections- to him you don’t. And he will make sure you know that!!
Tumblr media
L-L-L-LARRRY!!!
Come on. I think you and Larry would bond over your culture!! He also does NOT know any Spanish. LOSER ALERT. (Hc: he probably only understands it but fucks up pronunciation)
Your personality suits him sm. Cursing like a sailor? Him too. If you mirror his personality? Loves you. If you get close to him? Love you more. If you are sexual? He’ll play back don’t worry!!
Style, style, style. HE LOVES IT SO MUCH OH MY GOD. Everyday he looks forward to what you’re gonna wear, and probably goes all googly eyes. Cause he’s a loser like that!!!
He’ll definitely be a gift giver too, he’ll share his drugs (if you are into that. If not thats cool too!!) He’ll paint you all the time!!
Would drink with you 24/7. He probably wouldn’t drink wine though. He’d say it’s too “elegant”.
He loves your hair sm. You both have similar hair AHHH!!! he probably braided ur hair and his together once, or it got stuck head banging!!
Begs you to sing sanity falls while he paints. He absolutely LIVES to hear you sing.
Indulges in anything you like- will try it out ONCE. If he likes it, he’ll join you for more! Or just to spend time with you :)
Would probably love the internet too if he was raised off it.
Also sooooo naive. Two peas in a pod.
He would daydream with you. (As in he gets high and pretends he’s in lala land.)
Tumblr media
LAST BUT NOT LEAST…. BLITZIE!!
Literally definition of “have to be close to get each others personalities”
Understands that it’ll take time for you to show your true personality- but him too.
He will also make sarcastic remarks to you, and engage in playful banter!!! If you make a sexual joke- don’t think he wont flirt with you. He will.
More of a physical touch guy!! He wants to make sure you aren’t leaving him. He’s scared to keep losing people.
Not a wine drinker- but probably an alcoholic under the covers. Or maybe he drinks a shit ton when he’s stressed and regrets it.
LOVES your thighs. Would eat them!
At first he thought you were insane, but slowly started to love your style- and he now sometimes dresses in it. Even while sneaking to the human realm!
Definitely not an art driven guy. He’s bland but he gotta work! And on that note, has BEGGED you to join !!! And if you did- he’d get your art and use that to lure victims. Play guitar? Slash them behind a tree. Sing? They die backstage. Photography/Drawings/Animations? Once they leave into an alley they are done for!!
Will probably want to start a family with you- or hope you can at least get through to loona. He cherishes her soooo much!!
~~~
HI HUN. I MADE SURE I GOT TO YOURS CUS YOU WERE ALL THE WAY AT THE BEGINNING!!!! I HOPE THIS WAS OKAY :3

Vengeance is Futile (Chapter 4)
The next morning, Verosika woke up while Striker was sleeping soundly. She smiled knowing he was safe and walked out of the tent to check the fire. It had gone out since last night and there were no more trees left to get more firewood. Striker came out of tent, yawning. "You ready?" He asked. "Ready when you are," Verosika replied. Striker took the nails out of the ground and tent fell. He put the tent and sleeping bags back into his bag and mounted Bombproof.
Verosika got on with him and they went back to Striker's favorite bar. The cowboy tied his horse to a column and was about to walk into the bar until he heard him neighing. "Oh, my boy is hungry," said Striker. Verosika just remembered that she had an apple in her bag that she got from the kitchen in her apartment yesterday. She took it out and saw that it was still fresh and clean. She fed to Bombproof and the horse was satisfied. Verosika giggled and pet him affectionately. Striker was impressed. "Good girl. You're really good with horses, aren't ya?"
Verosika blushed and cupped her own face. "Anyway, let's get going," Striker said and she followed him into the bar. They noticed Barbie Wire hitting on Sallie May, who seemed to reciprocate her attraction. "Maybe on saturday night at eight, ok?" Sallie said flirtatiously. The imp girls looked back to notice Striker and Verosika behind them. "Oh, it's you two!" Sallie said happily. "Oh, it's you two..." Barbie said, disappointed.
"Ugh, you again. You're still just as annoying as ever," Verosika said. "Alright, that's enough," said Sallie. "The Harvest Moon Festival begins today at noon. See you later, losers!" Said Barbie as she left the bar flipping Verosika and Striker with both hands. "Fucks sake, how old is she?" Striker asked Verosika as he turned to her. "36 I believe," she replied. "36 and acts like she's 14. Just like her brother. Now I got two impish headaches to deal with," he said.
Verosika just sweat dropped at Striker's weirdly racist attitude towards imps despite being one himself. But it's not like she was imp herself, so it didn't matter to her either way. Sallie turned to face the duo. "You guys wanna enter the Harvest Moon Festival, you gotta have a high body count," she warned them. "Oh, i'm well aware of that, sweetie. That's exactly why I almost won last time if it weren't for that fuckass Blitzø," Striker bragged. "Ay, don't call me sweetie. In case you haven't noticed, I ain't into dudes. And don't think you can beat me that easily!" Sallie retorted.
"Oh, you think you're tough, huh? We'll see how tough you are in the festival, shorty!" Striker taunted. "Enough! Let's just go. You two can fight each other at the festival, ok?" Verosika stepped in, trying to stop the fight. Striker only listened to her because of the effect she had on him. Sallie left the bar as the cowboy looked at the popstar, smirking and making her blush.
Wally Wackford came out of nowhere and noticed how much they had taken a liking to each other. "Oy, when's the wedding?" He teased. Striker just growled at him. "None of your business, Wally Wacko," he said. Striker and Verosika both left and mounted Bombproof. He untied the ropes from the coulumn and they went to where the festival was being held. "Remember to root for me, okay babe?" Striker said flirtatiously. "Got it!" Verosika replied.
Soon, they arrived at their destination. Striker climbed off and entered while Verosika just stayed on top of Bombproof's back. She pulled on his harness to make him turn so she could sit sideways while watching the festival and his head wouldn't be in the way.
"Oy, welcome to the Harvest Moon Festival. The names's Wally Wackford, the host for y'all. This contest is obviously just an excuse for you guys to show off how badass you are and make money off it, and so the author here can move the plot along or something. Eh, whatever with that. Let the games begin!" Wally announced. Sallie May looked up, sounding confused by what he said. "Author? Plot? What the fuck is he talking about?" She wondered.
A random imp shot their pistol into the sky, then Striker, Sallie May, Barbie Wire and other imps started running off and began to climb a wooden wall, with Barbie almost falling into puddle at the bottom and nearly getting eaten by a shark, but she got out. Then Striker tied the two female imps up with rope, and already he was winning. Verosima was clapping and cheering for him all the way.
The next part was the three pulling another rope over a wooden plank. Barbie fell into the water and almost got eaten by ANOTHER shark. Sallie pointed her finger at her, laughing. Striker was then mud wrestling with another male imp, one that was much more muscular than he was. The cowboy struggled until he had the upper hand and won the fight. "FUCK YES, GO GET 'EM, TIGER!!!" Verosika shouted, being glad that Striker was winning.
In another corner, Sallie was holding her own against another group of imps who didn't really stand a chance against her. Then there was Barbie, who was getting her ass kicked and doing a terrible job. Striker and Sallie were then fighting each other, and both were strong fighters so it took a while for Striker to get the upper hand and eventually win. "WOOOO!!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!" Verosika yelled at the top of her lungs. Striker smirked and felt very prideful at that fact that she wanted him to win so badly.
"Well, it looks like that's it. Striker seems to have won the festival in first place, and without much struggle, too! His reward awaits him on stage right here!" Wally announced while holding a gold medal. "What the fuck?! It should've been me!" Barbie whined. Striker walked over to the stage to gain his prize and Verosika climbed off of Bombproof and walked through the crowd of imps to see Striker being rewarded.
Wally handed Striker the medal and the cowboy put it around his neck. Verosika gasped enthusiastically at the ceremony. Barbie just angrily stomped her feet, looking down in shame. "Can't believe I lost! Who do these people think they are! I'm better than all of them!" Barbie sneered, gritting her teeth. She was such a sore loser that other imps in the crowd pointed and laughed at her for the big fuss she was making, which just pissed her off even more.
Striker saw his favorite succubus in the crowd and smiled warmly at her. "Hey, what the fuck is a succubus doing here?" A random imp asked rudely. Verosika growled at that kind of question. Striker decided to stand up for her by bringing out his trusty guitar and singing her another song. "I'd like to dedicate this song to a very certain special lady," he said. The pink succubus knew exactly who he was talking about. Her.
"My soulmate, you're so fine it makes my heart ache. Your divine beauty is all I can take. You've been on my mind a lot, like it's always on a rewind. "I'd like to give you my soul, my heart and my life. Maybe someday, you could be my wife?" Striker began singing again. Verosika internally squealed from those lyrics. She was jumping up and down from his singing and guitar skills. This man was too much for her to handle.
"If I had it any other way, you wouldn't age another day. My soulmate, you're the only one i'd ever want to date. You're the love of my life, worth more than any knife. You make my heart go swollen, it's safe to say my heart is now stolen. My soulmate, you're so great it's worth a wait. Even if my heart is still filled with hate, you'll always be my soulmate!" Striker had another whole guitar solo to finish off his love ballad. Verosika enjoyed it so much that she clapped louder than everyone else in the crowd just to makw sure that Striker heard her.
He looked back at her with a flirtatious smirk and she cupped her face while blushing, her whole face red as a tomato. Striker stepped down from the stage, held Verosika's hand and kissed it. She smiled and awkwardly at him and said. "Do it again." He obliged and kissed her hand a 2nd time. They returned to Bombproof and rode him all the way back to Striker's house.
10 minutes later.....
"Wow, that was so fun! You sure are good at these kinds of games, aren't you?" Verosika said to Striker as she sat on the couch. Striker sat down next to her. "You sure are a fun girl, aren't ya?" He complimented her back. "Oh, stop! Don't make me wanna fuck your brains out!" She steased. "Maybe i'd enjoy that," he retorted. All of a sudden, Striker heard his telephone ringing in another room. He went over to go answer with Verosika following him.
"Stay out of this, ok? For your sake. I don't want you to get upset," Striker said to warn Verosika. She went back to the living room and waited for the phone call to end. The cowboy locked the door behind him and answered the phone. "WHAT THE FUCK IS TAKING YOU SO LONG, STRIKER?! IT'S BEEN ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU TRIED TO KILL THAT CHEATING PRICK!!!" It was the familiar voice of a woman that Striker recognized. Stella Goetia, the woman who hired him to do her dirty work.
She payed him to kill her husband, Stolas Goetia, who apparently had been cheating on her with that one Blitzø. Damn, how many partners did that freaky little imp have? "To be honest Ma'am, I forgot about that contract. Got too distracted by this pretty lady I met. Been hanging out with her for the past few days," Striker explained. Stella was not taking any excuses. "I DON'T CARE!!! GO AND GET THE JOB DONE IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE I KILL YOU MYSELF!!!" Stella yelled right before hanging up the phone.
"Oh shit," Striker said, scared. How the fuck was he gonna explain this to Verosika? She'd probably never want to ever see him again. He figured it was time to tell right now, since keeping secrets form her would only hurt more. He took a deep breath and tipped his hat. "Well, here goes nothing," he said sadly.
He had a feeling that this would not end well.

The Rivers of New Scotland Yard (A Stally fanfic).
“Donovan!” she said like it had been a long time, “This is a cute place, I almost didn’t find it, I accidentally typed ‘Sist-er Barista’ instead of Sist-a. But fortunately my powers of deduction came through in time.” She wiggled her long eyebrows, flung down her various work bags and settled into the chair opposite.
Stella saying this was simply a formality, they both understood that embarrassing Sally was Hopkins’ very unique love language.
Stella just levelled her with a shit-eating stare (the lower grade cousin of the shit-eating grin). “Don’t think I didn’t see your little stingy quarter smile, Donovan. In Japan they call people like you ‘Tsundere’, little Tsundere-chan.”
“I know what a bloody Tsundere is.”
“Oh right, little brothers; you know you act so much like an only child so I forget.”
Sally wanted to feel insulted but she wasn’t quite sure in what way.
“Hey,” Hopkins continued, hardly breathing between phrases, “Have I shown you my new jacket yet? It’s just in time for the cold front this week; at last London weather has seen my charms and smiled on me. If only that was the general effect I had on women.” The last part was probably for herself since Sally barely heard it. It was also, as far as Sally had observed over the years, ridiculously untrue; an odd lack of self awareness to this specific thing that was cute at first, but became increasingly irritating and on occasion, concerning.
“Wow,” Sally contributed, “another leather Jacket. Are you already sick of the other eight?”
“This IS the eighth actually.”
“Also, I know your salary, and it is not a patent leather jacket salary by far; so what’s the truth, Hopkins?”
“I save for emergencies, just like you do.”
“Clearly we don’t have the same emergencies. Or the economy just works different for you.”
Stella took a tentative swipe of the coffee table, dispelling some crumbs. She seemed to be considering this point carefully. All their conversations about money happened carefully.
“Well, let me give you a secret, as your ex.”
“Your what?”
“Your ex colleague.”
“Go on.”
“If you steal the office loo paper you can save for nicer things.”
(Chapter 1 Snippet)
