#the lonely imp

[leleamo]

Hello people!! Welcome to another post about the rewrite of Helluva Boss!!

Or rather... *Looks at papers*

The lonely imp, that was the name you guys choseIs

today! Let's talk about the hierarchy of hell!! Let's Go!!

Okay, I spent perhaps too long on Wikipedia researching this... But anyway! we have the seven rings, and we also have the Goetia, I did it like this, in each ring there is one of the seven deadly sins, and each ring has a quantity of Goetia, let me show you!

First ring, contains eight kings, in the second, twenty three dukes, in the third, seven princes, fourth, fifteen marquises, fifth, five Earls, sixth, a knight and seventh, twelve presidents

Cool huh?

Anyway, let me show you the hierarchy, ignore me not writing the entire name of L, I just don't like writing that name, anyway let's go!

L

Six deadly sins/greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth

Kings

Dukes

Princes

Marquises

Earls, Knight, Presidents

Beings from hell, you know, the urban legends, like imps, demons/ And also non-animals

Sin

"Ah, Letícia, aren't you going to explain each one?" But of course! on another day, with a post and drawing of each one! Did you like it? And then I'll explain everything! Anyway, that's all, see you on Monday!

@exodus-raine holy crap you're so right, how could I have forgotten about her D:

The floor chalk was MADE for her

[mintaikk]

Blitzø is the kind of boss to say, "this company is a family" and actually mean it.

i’ve been playing miitopia recently with the scrybes as my characters and it’s been SO MUCH FUN, could not recommend it more

[imminent-danger-came]

(guy who has religious trauma voice) I relate to Aziraphale in ways you could only dream of

[ukusreticence]

trying to befriend a dude with literally 0 sense of socialization or even society and spends like 99% of his time in deep space with some serious sensory issues that gets responded with anger is a very taunting task

also the fact that side a needs so many 'accommodations' is the reason he doesn't even bother trying to make friends (we ignore the fact that there's probably plenty of literally just chill non talkative people he can hang with)

[lakesbian]

i don't even go to pokemon but it's so fun to give the undersiders little guys to hang out with. reiterating my take that alec has one (1) hatterene (too lazy to take care of more) which he gave an absolutely stupid name but Would kill or die for. and they have matching pajamas.

[xx-hail2theking-xx]

I don't know if any of us are.

At least we've got each other?

...

I like that we do.

yeah.

yeah. we do.

"The ring of envy is not a place to compliments and be kind, it is a place to be false and manipulative with your friends and relatives, these fish are all heartless, just like the owner of the place... Leviathan sleeps around the city, and envies anyone who has a right eye, arms, legs, well, everything he doesn't have..."

Vivziepop is claiming Stolitz is a “mutually toxic” relationship despite treating both characters drastically differently. She's babying Stolas, who’s treated as a victim only guilty of being a “sad, lonely” man only craving “love” from his beloved Blitzo. Vivziepop keeps showing us how miserable he is because she wants us to ignore how he’s sexually coercing an imp in exchange for his grimoire. 

Vivziepop demonizes Blitzo and repeatedly reminds us how “awful” he is, especially for not reciprocating Stolas’ romantic feelings. We’re supposed to hate him for despising the sexual transactional relationship with the Goetia prince, who treats him like a toy. 

Vivziepop can claim she’s holding both of these two characters “equally” accountable, but it’s blatantly obvious that this isn’t true. She's victimizing Stolas to make him sympathetic and constantly punishing Blitzo for not loving him back.

[nosybookworm]

sincerely hope wherever helluva boss take us it does not lead to Stolas losing everything. I keep seeing little hopeful posts about Stolas losing his status and moving in with Blitzo and working at IMP, and yeah Stolas being the secretary they always needed is a cute idea with a lot of hijinks to explore, but I don’t want it to come at the cost of the only life he’s ever known. Getting kicked out and shunned with nothing but the clothes on your back is terrifying not to mention traumatic. Stolas was raised to be exactly what he is: A prince, guardian of the stars and prophecy; and if you take out the forced wife he actually enjoys his overall duty with the stars. Take that away and there won’t just be panic they’ll be a full blown melt down. He has no life skills, no understanding of the world or what his place in it might look like without purpose (which his life no matter how stifling always gave him)

And Blitzo can’t support him. Not the way he is right now financially or emotionally. He sleeps on the couch, presumably ever since he adopted Loona, and right now with his head always twisting things and making him the lit fuse on a bomb for every good thing going wrong for the people in his life he would spiral so hard. Stolas losing his title, his wealth, his palace, maybe even his daughter? Blitzo would see that as another way he ruined someone. It would ruin the beginnings of their relationship not because I think Blitzo would run, no Full Moon if nothing else showed us all that Blitzo wants to stay and will if he’s allowed, I think he will desperately try to be the pillar of support Stolas would need in that situation and fail at providing any stability.

All this to say I really hope Stolas remains a prince. And if Stolas does lose his status I hope it’s a choice and not him getting evicted and if he is evicted it’s a temporary plot thing due to Stella and Andre’s plotting that gets resolved eventually.

Stolas has been so isolated and lonely for so long. Raised in a cage with a script that he’s only now starting to break out of. I think there would be nothing more beautiful than his cage, an empty mausoleum of a palace, was reframed where the empty halls are filled with laughter and each room has someone in it that he can talk to and there is no longer “guest rooms” because the people he loves and love him right back all have a place when they visit. He could work as IMP’s secretary as a side job as a treat. Which I think would mean so much more because so much of his life and his hopes concerning Blitzo are about being wanted. He wants to be wanted, to be chosen, not be forced on others. It would mean so much if Blitzo asked to hire him when Stolas has no reason to accept except he wants to.

This got longer than I wanted.

[arcanumofthestars]

sorry if its weird- I just got out of a toxic relationship and have been absolutely LIVING! for the Hazbin and Helluva boss boys being sweet! Could you maybe do something like ideal dates they would do with a reader? Anything really- just in the genre of like 'cute little scenarios you'd make up before falling asleep'

ps loved your alastor headcannon <3

Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss boys' ideal dates (part 1)

Sum: Where they would prefer to spend their time with you as a date.

Characters included: Alastor, Lucifer, Angel Dust, Blitzø, Stolas, Moxie

Warnings: none, it's just fluff, except for like, three curse words and Angel Dust's job (I've put a note on where that part starts). Reader is gender neutral, if I have missed a pronoun here or there please let me know.

Alastor

Alastor lived in the 1930s. That’s all that needs to be said. A really classy dinner in the most expensive restaurant there is, with low lights and candles. And live music. Oh, the live music. Hell might be a filthy place, but the songs are… well… heavenly. You chat and laugh and eat with the soft sound of the sax playing in the background, the Imp on the stage singing “Somewhere over the rainbow” in a sensual voice. Once you finish eating, Alastor gets up and goes over to the stage. He says something to the musicians and they start playing a quicker rhythm, which you quickly recognize to be one of the most popular dances in the 30’s, called the jive. And you’re not surprised when your date offers you his hand and guides you to the dancing floor.

After a long night, you two go for a walk outside, chatting mainly about the Hotel. You tell him that you believe in redemption, and he finds it foolish, yet adorable. After that, the conversation gets deeper. You talk about secret hopes and regrets, about your lives on earth, what you would have done differently. It’s the first time Alastor is being this open with someone, and you know it. Your date ends with him walking you back to your hotel room and kissing your hand gently, before he wishes goodnight and walks away with one of his few real smiles.

Lucifer

Lucifer gets easily bored- no, tired with all the “King of Hell” bullshit. After all, he’s just a father whose wife recently dumped him. And at first it was really hard for you two to get close, him being afraid you would leave him like everyone else did. You’re not that kind of person, and he knows that now. Still, going out can sometimes be too much for him. All the Sinners and Hellborn running the moment they see him, it makes him feel more lonely, even with you by his side.

So he prefers to stay at home. You two make something to eat, like pancakes (they’re his favorite, trust me). As you eat, you start talking about anything and everything- except ducks, that’s a sensitive subject. The conversation will most likely end with Lucifer showing you some old album with photos of him playing with Charlie when she was a child. After you finish eating, you cuddle on the couch, watching TV. He ends up falling asleep in your arms (you’re the big spoon and I’m not negotiating over that), your fingers caressing his blonde hair.

Angel Dust

Before you proceed, I would like to note that this work includes mentions of Angel Dust’s job. If this kind of content is triggering for you, I would suggest reading only the second paragraph.

Angel’s job is a great part of his life. He might hate it because of Valentino but it is what he does best. So of course he wants to show you his talent- pole dancing. The best place to do that is a famous club near the Hotel (one that Valentino doesn’t go to often.) The owner is more than happy to have the famous Angel Dust dancing exclusively in their business, even if it is only for one night. The show starts, and Angel dedicates the night to you, making all the sinners turn around to see the one that stole the pornstar’s heart. The Spider Demon doesn’t fail to make you blush repeatedly during the show, teasing you openly, in a way you haven’t seen before, not even in his movies.

After the performance ends, you’re too shy to even talk to him, a situation that ends with huge amounts of laughing from both of you. After that you go for a walk outside, and probably have some takeout, because, well, Charlie decided that four times a week the Hotel will be serving boiled vegetables for dinner, “so everyone can stay healthy”, and it isn’t exactly the ideal food for a day. You two end up dancing in the music of some other club in the city, hidden from all eyes. Angel is amazed with the fact that you can enjoy something as simple as that. When you finally head back to the hotel, he replays the sweet moments over and over again in his head and that’s maybe one of the first times he’s blushed from something like that.

Stolas

When I say Stolas has money, I mean you couldn't spend one milionth of it in this lifetime, even if you wanted. He's used to paying for everything, so he really doesn't mind you choosing where you want to go- even if it is the most expensive place in Hell. He has a small panick attack on what he should wear, poor thing hasn't been to a date since, well, forever. He is extremely nervous when he comes to pick you up, but quickly relaxes when you start a conversation. The place is absolutely adorable after all you chose it, and the food is really delicious. Well, I don't have to say much, it's your typical ideal date.

After you two finish eating, you go to the Owl Demon's house (or castle I don't think something that huge is a house). You stand at the balcony for a long time, gazing at the stars, occasionally making a comment on astronomy (after you found out about Stolas' obsession with celestial objects you made your own research). The moments are truly blissful, and when he takes your hand and guides you inside, it's the most sweet thing you have ever seen- he doesn't want anything but you close to him, to feel you scent as he wraps his hands around your waist, burying his face in your neck, trying to get as much of you as possible. Not in a naughty sort of way. Just you, him, and the stars.

Blitzø

Blitz simply doesn't have the time. Don't mistake me, he loves you, but his job is taking up most his days and even with Moxie and Millie's help, he barely manages. He always finds a way to be with you if not daily, three or four times a week. Sometimes you just visit the I.M.P. "facility" and tidy up a bit while he's away, maybe make lunch for everyone and hang out with Loona, who surprisingly thinks you're a very cool person. Sometimes you join him in his little "adventures" in the human world, after all it's a great workout and you have to keep fit.

If Blitz actually finds some time to spend with you exclusively, it will either be eating snacks, cuddling on the couch with him complaining about work. Or. The most extreme fucking thing you ever imagined, like, extreme sports or something. The Imp loves the adrenaline in his veins, and you do too, once you get used to it. After all you'd do anything to spend time with the man you fell in love with. You're a bit dazed afterwards but for some reason he loves seeing you tripping around.

Moxie

Moxie is what you'd call a lovebird. The stereotype one. He buys you flowers and escorts you to the car, putting a rose in your hair or something like that. His suit is literally perfect and you wonder how many times he must have ironed it before he came to your place. Moxie is nervous. Really really nervous. He wants everything to be perfect, but once you reassure him, telling him that everything will be perfect just because you two are together he finally gets to relax. As he drives you there, you constantly ask where you're going (he only told you to dress classy and he's not disappointed with the results), but he doesn't tell you anything. "It's a surprise, you'll like it, I promise". The place is absolutely gorgeous but you can't help but wonder how much it cost... But Moxie's got you covered.

It's the ideal date. And gosh you have so much to talk about. When it ends (the Imp implies every four seconds that there will be more), the moment finds you standing in front of your house door, starting into each others eyes. Because in Hell, you found a soulmate.

That's all for now! I'm sorry that it's too short, I didn't have more time with my upcoming exams. I promise there will be a lot more though! I'm already working on a part two.

The characters that will be included are: Husker, Vox, Valentino, Adam, Sir Pentious, Fizzarolli, Striker.

If you want me to add any more, feel free to ask.

My requests are closed at the moment, regarding anything else. I will open them again around mid or end of March, though it's not sure yet.

Thanks for reading!

And if you’re okay with it maybe platonic Stolas with a friend who works in the lust ring? (Basically he doesn’t want them to find love and he wants to be the only person they rely on)

Oh boy, Stolas finally gets another friend only to panic when he realizes they're constantly flirted with. I can do that, yeah! You are an imp/succubus/incubus.

Yandere! Platonic! Stolas with Lust Ring! Darling

Pairing: Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Overprotective behavior, Paranoia, Mature themes (Lust ring, so mentions of matters pertaining that), Manipulation, Guilt-Tripping, Stalking, Forced companionship.

Stolas has been shown to be very isolated since he was young.

The only close contact he has/had is with Blitzø, even then that's complicated.

Stolas would be hesitant on another friend at first, but he really does need someone else to speak with.

Knowing how he is with Blitzø, I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow made friends with someone in the Lust Ring.

He probably met you when on an outing or shopping.

Either way, Stolas is surprised to meet you.

Despite your job, you're very welcoming around the prince.

He's surprised with how comforting your presence is, actually.

I feel things would only be more complex with him if you were an imp, or maybe you're a succubus/incubus.

You'd rank so much lower than him, just like Blitzø, trying to make a living by flirting and pleasing.

Stolas would be very flustered by your job, even as friends he never gets used to it.

He probably should... yet he can't help but feel concerned.

His obsession takes time to brew, occasionally meeting up with you whenever you both cross paths.

Although, hints of it do bubble within him at times.

I can just imagine he sees his dear friend at Ozzie's with Blitzø before everything goes horrible that night.

He's excitedly telling Blitzø that he made a new friend, noticing you working a shift before calling you over.

Stolas really does hold a ton of care and concern towards you.

He finds himself giddy to be around you.

There's times when others feel anxious around you at first due to Stolas.

Especially when Stolas starts making his darker nature known.

He's a lonely and isolated person, he may even rant to you about issues he's having relationship-wise.

He just likes it when you listen, often wanting to pull you off your shift to chat.

That soon isn't the only reason he pulls you off... later on he does it because he gets nervous about you moving on.

Ozzie would be irritated that Stolas keeps messing with you, a diligent employee under the Sin's jurisdiction.

You're here to flirt and make money...

Not be the prince's emotional support imp.

There would be multiple times Stolas expresses... concern about your job.

It's not just because he's lonely... but that's a big part of it.

Stolas no doubt sees how you interact with "clients".

He feels pain in his heart when he sees you so close with them.

You're friends, just friends, and that's completely fine for him since he loves Blitzø!

But he can't help but worry and feel jealous when he sees you flirt and touch clients.

He's concerned one of them will hurt you.

Everyone in Hell hurts each other, sure, but he doesn't want his only other friend dead.

He's gentle and nurturing to those he cares about.

He understands the Lust Ring is your... environment... but he's always so damn worried.

I can see him speaking with Ozzie in an attempt to have you watched, just to soothe his own worries.

Even then it doesn't feel like enough.

The prince's biggest fear is you leaving his side.

He has a similar fear with Blitzø, since he struggles keeping close relationships like what he shares with Blitzø and you.

When he sees you speak so freely and intimately with others in your ring, or even other rings if Stolas decided he wanted to take you on an outing to chat, he feels his insecurities bubble up.

He gets worried you'll find someone else.

He is already nervous about other friends... although the idea of you finding a lover?

He panics... not because he wants to be yours, but because you could leave him.

He fears you'll fall in love with someone and no longer need to be around Stolas.

You... You can't, right?

After all... no one else can provide for you like he can, right?

I can see Stolas trying to essentially bribe you into staying around him at times.

That or he manipulates you, using his current situation as a way to convince you (His divorce with Stella and his quarrels with Blitzø).

When he sees you close to someone, he pulls you away from them.

Stolas is said in his wiki to end up ignoring other's feelings at times, implying he's oblivious to the feelings of others at times.

In his eyes, if he's happy... you should be happy, right?

So he doesn't understand why you two end up arguing.

Eventually Stolas will try to bring his concerns up.

You shouldn't have to be so intimate with others... He can take care of you as friends do!

He's a prince, let him treat you well.

He just doesn't understand why you don't want him to pluck you from being in the Lust Ring.

Wouldn't you be so much happier with him?

Stolas wants his obsession to rely on him.

He likes the idea of helping you out with things.

However... His "help" often costs you business at times.

Stolas may perceive someone's touches as dangerous.

He never likes leaving you leaving his sight, often watching you even as you work.

When someone touches you, Stolas tries to restrain a growl in his throat.

Sometimes he even steps in.

I can see him speaking with Ozzie in an attempt to get you out of work.

Reluctantly the Sin will either allow you off work early, or tell the prince to leave his little friend alone for once.

Either way, Stolas does everything in his power to keep you by his side.

Even if he has to drag you away from Lust Ring, he promises to "keep you happy".

In fact, he's so focused on the idea of trying to make you happy to stay... it only hurts your bond.

He thinks he can fix how you think by giving gifts and praise.

However, it may just make you drift away.

Something Stolas isn't prepared to let happen.

I feel he'd be worse if this was after the break up with Blitzø.

Now he's relying on you more, the moment you try to pull away...

He just drags you back, pleading with you to stay by his side as friends should.

He knows it's probably best he lets you go so you have your freedoms... just like Blitz.

However, he still finds himself bargaining.

He refuses to deal with any of this alone.

You may tell him off, say he doesn't need to do anything for you...

Yet he still clings and protects you all the same.

Surely you'll realize he's just a... concerned friend, right?

You're too good for him to be in the Lust Ring...

Just let him be happy... so you can be happy.

[writing-prompt-s]

When you were sent to Hell, you expected fire, brimstone and hordes of demons. But upon your arrival you found nothing but a barren wasteland and a single lonely imp.

[spotlightlowlife]

A helluva sorry-ass trip

This is what apology tour should be called because that's what it was, mindblowingly maniacal and childish at the same time, literally WTF was that? Did two dimensions really collide like the Mandela effect theorist claimed? Have some of us shifted from an old reality of mature outlook and we need to get with it and allow ourselves to be conditioned to be in agreement with the tone of this story? Or are we just being gaslight?

Are we truly suppose to buy that Blitzø has this many exs and all of them believed themselves to be in a serious relationship with him and all of them are this hurt and this large quantity of them are willing to go way out of their way for this party?

Isn't Blitzø only in his mid to late 30s?

Wasn't he a busy and seemingly decent person living with his family circus for the first 20 or so years of his life?

Since when was Stolas his ex and why does he accept this title? Why did he feel the need to let him know about the anti Blitzø party? Where's his realisation after his sulk in the last episode where he gave Blitzø a choice but not really, the awkwardness at Ozzie's, or how their transactionship started, that this wasn't a thing?

This would be the perfect time to let us know how out of touch Stolas is, that not so deep down he's that little prince who pointed a stranger out that who he liked, then that stranger was bought to his castle for him to play with.

Near three decades later he has failed to assess that fond memory and still sees this person as his friend. He's someone who sits at home and learns ideals from dramatic tv shows, a big change from miserable, planned out life he would rather not acknowledge .

But no, that's not what we get.

Stolas tells us all the things he really want from a relationship and they're things that he could apply to anyone, totally impersonal to Blitzø.

Stolas sees romcom cliches, he's lonely, he wants what he sees for himself and Blitzø didn't live up to any standard he set, he claimed to atleast want the basics of a companionship, but for Blitzø, since when? The ambush? The few times he made doe eyes when he weren't looking?

We are supposed to make a judgement based on how pissed and miserable Stolas is and the fact that their are a bunch of like minded others, not taking into account that they all have a different story to tell yet we have plenty of Stolas x Blitzø to look back on to make a fair judgement.

Stolas is immediately flattered by the first person to make a move on him, infront of Blitzø, and they have fun together, invaldating all that the story tried to push recently. Blitzø could truly be anybody, so who at this point could watch this and still believe that Stolas is hopelessly in love?

The entire episode was yet another attempt to have us forget all we have seem of Stolas being the commanding and powerful presence who holds all the cards. Helped further by not one person giving a hoot that they're in the presence of royalty, yet agin.

Combined with yet a further attempting to give Blitzø pseudopower by reminding us that he's sexually active and outgoing.

It's clearly important that Verosika would fail to mention Blitzø stealing off her then leaving her stranded and dumped, clearly this could be a reminder that Blitzø is at the bottom of society and has had to be rutheless and maybe even a user to work his way up, but no, he was simply always 'that guy', that outgoing fun guy everyone just liked, a lowly imp that could make a sucubus fall in love and can even score royalty, but as we know, unfortunately this all now works because dispite lore being established, hierarchy means SFA.

None of this gives more power to those at the bottom or takes from those at the top, it just tells us that the classing system is a whole lot of nothing even though this also isn't the case at the same time.

The start of the episode was a perfect example of narcissistic coersion and grooming, it should be used in universities worldwide.

Place side by side the Blitzø x Stolas content from the earlier episodes, where Stolas hit up Blitzø whenever he pleased, spoke so dirty he had even Blitzø cringing, was more interested Blitzø's presence than quality time with his daughter who no longer lives with him and this all started when Stolas cornered Blitzø into sex upon him being caught stealing.

Remember these things as Stolas now tells Blitzø how inappropriate his regular and unchanged behaviour that was supposedly attractive is, he us sarcastic and gives him the silent treatment, yet will speak up to rant at him though arguments can only go one way.

Stolas's tantrum is because Blitzø didn't give him whatever answer or reaction he hoped for when he ambushed him in the previous episode with a choice but not really and he wasn't going to stick around to hear anything that didn't suit him, you know, the respectful thing to do.

Blitzø's every word is wrong, points irrelevant to their fallout are more fuel for this, he isn't heard, respect and his input doesn't matter, so he then goes on to aggressively try and to prove Stolas's criticism wrong by showing how accountable he is by apologising to those he wronged, even when it was arguably unnecessary, firmly letting us know that Blitzø is unspecifically yet definitely in the wrong.

People, if you see this as a good thing, this isn't the way.

Blitzø's accountability was not of his accord and Stolas as good as rubbed his efforts in his face by taking no notice at every stage and attending the Blitzø sucks party for ex's, which he isn't.

People, this is narcissistic abuse.

Another annoying thing was the towards the top of the list was Moxxie, but we saw nothing.

Why?

Because that would be grounds for a decent portion of time and effort as two leading characters may discuss things pivotal to the plot and their own development? A heart to heart and back to the main story? Nothing to do with sex?

Well, there's no room for all that complexity, so here's a few seconds of extras from a better time, with yuri thrown in, that will make up for all else.
