#vassago trying his best

[annachum]

Vassago breaking the bad news of Octavia's ' betrayal ' be like

Vassago : * teleports into Paimon and Amethyst's office *

Paimon : Ahh, my boy! Perfect timing. Now, how about the monthly reports of you and your siblings legions, mm? How's everything so far? And....how are you all?

Vassago : * sighs * Papa, mama, you both needed to sit down while I deliver this terrible news...

Sometime later

Katie Killjoy : This just in - the skies of Pride suddenly are filled with meteor showers! And all the magical plants in Lust are suddenly feeling blue! Citizens of Hell have been wondering what is up with the Pride Skies lately - what is up with the King and Queen of the Ars Goetia? Why the skies have meteor showers?

And the Lust Ring fenizens have been painstakingly trying to cheer up the plants, even Asmodeus and his current lover Fizzarolli are befuddled as to what happened to their plants!

Meanwhile, back in the Ars Goetia castle

Paimon : * eldrtich demonic shape-shifting mode *

Amethyst : * also eldtrich demonic break down *

Vassago and some staff in tow tried painstakingly to calm them down *

Amethyst : * demon voice * HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO US?!!!

Paimon : THAT STUBBORN GIRL TURNER AGAINST US?!

Vassago : No, no! I'm sure it's more than that! Calma, por favor!

It took a whole 10 minutes for the eldtrich breakdowns to finally stop

And a mere few days later there are red lines around Pride, Lust, Wrath and Sloth

And more chaos ensues

I can imagine this straight after Octavia pushes away Stolas

Stolas : * still sobbing in the icy ground, ignoring his shaking *

Blitzo : Stols. Hey, honey, we gotta go -

Stolas : * defiantly * No.

Blitzo : Stolas, honey, pretty bird, we better go before -

Stolas : * pushes Blitzo away * LET GO OF ME!! * tries to desperately crawl to the door * OCTAVIA AMETHYST ROSABELLA GOETIA! YOU STUBBORN GIRL! COME BACK OUT HERE AND LET ME EXPLAIN! HOW COULD YOU TURN BACK ON ME, THE TRUE GOETIA FAMILY! AFTER ALL IVE DONE FOR YOU!

Blitzo : * pulling Stolas back * Alright, birdy, we gotta go, before your bitchy ex wife kills us - * IMP helps drag a breaking down Stolas to the van *

Stolas : * at the door * FOR YEARS I TRIED TO MAKE PEACE WITHIN THE ALREADY CRAZY FAMILY! HOW COULD YOU TURN BACK ON ME LIKE THIS? WHERE IS DUTY, WHERE IS SACRIFICE! WHAT WILL YOUR TRUE GRANDPARENTS, UNCLES AND AUNTS WILL SAY! * to IMP * LET ME GO, ALL OF YOU! I MUST SEE MY DAUGHTER!!!

Blitzo : * grabs Stolas tight in his arms as Stolas collapses in painful, heart wrenching sobs *

Stolas : LET GO, BLITZ! I DONT CARE IF I HAVE TO DIE TO SAVE MY DAUGHTER!!!

Blitzo : * to Moxxie * Pump the brakes, Mox.

Moxxie nods solemnly before driving the van

Blitzo : There, there. * patting a shaking Stolas on the head *

Stolas : Octavia, my sweet girl..... I'm so sorry....I failed you....

Blitzo : Breathe, Stols, you didn't fail....* remember how his own mom may feel when Tilla was alienated from teen Blitzo and Barbie Wire *

Stolas : Via....promise me you will never turn like them...promise ME you will always remember me....promise me that you will get out of this....PROMISE ME!!!

Stolas cried all the way back to IMP City as the rest in the van tried to comfort Stolas and prevent him from lashing out further

headcanon that vassago has been trying to be friends with stolas for at least ten years.

[al-of-the-stars]

can i request vassago as a father, please? like he and his fem! s/o are having kids and how would they care for them,

i headcanon Vassago is silly yet a bit strct father, he let his kids have fun as long as it not going overboard for example: Vassago's kids playing at the playground and Vassago watching them so they couldn't hit other kids

Vassago as a father headcanons!

A/n: I wasn't sure if you wanted this as headcanons or a fic but I did HCs and can turn this into a full fic later if you want! Hope you enjoy! :D

-fully agree on the “silly but strict” headcanon you mentioned

-he would see his kids getting into an arguing with either each other or another kid on the playground and immediately try to help them compromise

-he would have a specific schedule for when he takes them out to the playground or theme park or something like that so that he can always know to not have anything else planned that time

-he 100% plans out family vacations

-if he was playing dolls with one of his kids and they asked him to do a voice for the character he was playing, he would NEVER hesitate. Being teased or joked about is a small price to him to make his kids happy (this one was inspired by a vine if you want to see it, here's the link)

-picks out the BEST outfits for his kids on special occasions

-reads to the kids every night before bed

schedules family movie nights, board game nights, crafting nights, etc. since he can be busy pretty often so it's a nice way to have some family bonding time

-waits by them while they do homework to make sure they do it right and complete every single question

-has definitely said “no dessert until you eat dinner” way too many times to count

[writing-appreciation]

Vassago Headcannons because because I am feral for Vassago content

To start, I want to say I believe Stolas, Vass, and Stella are all the same age.

Andre is a couple years older than Stella.

In my mind, hell's aristocracy has like an annual/semi-annual/semi-centeninal event in which children who are coming of age are formally presented into society.

Maybe they get their full powers, maybe they are presented to Lucifer and Lilith. Maybe they are arranged to marry.

But one thing is always the same, two Demons are always chosen, one male and one female.

These two are basically hells it Demons of the event.

Maybe they even get titles in their own right instead of having their parent's title(s).

It's not expected for these two Demons to be married, but some cases to lead to happy marriages.

Or marriages of convenience. Which is where Vassago comes in.

While he isn't named the male demon at this event, he is an only child, a prince by birth right, he's already considered quite the catch in every social circle.

So of course many many many nobles, varying in ranks, are trying to see if the young, newly of age, Prince is looking for a princess.

From a young age, his parents promised him that the choice of marriage is entirely up to him. Any demon he meets and becomes enamored with. The only thing they ask is that, eventually, an heir is brought into the family.

Of course, only a very select few know he actually prefers the company of men.

Which does complicate the whole heir thing.

Enter his best friend. She's also a Goetia, dashingly charming, intellectual, kind, and even beautiful.

She's the oldest child of some terribly distant arranged marriage. Great family. Just not the most social hell family.

Her father is a Duke. So she is only a Lady, but that does change at this event.

She was crowned the demoness of the event. With this comes a title of her own, legions to command, a palace, so much more.

She is shot to the top of the social scene.

Much to Stella's horror, as she was always predicted to be crowned at this event. Even as a hatchling.

"Hey, you needed a break from inside too, Princressa Nueva?" He jokes.

" Vass, there's has to be some type of mistake. I do not belong on the forefront of society. Do you think I can kindly reject it??"

"Hah, I'm sorry Vivi (his nickname for her), I don't think that's an option. Though, it might make Stella happy."

They laugh together on the balcony, wine, beginning to cloud their judgement.

"I'm scared. I don't want to be a Princess. I especially don't want to be forced to marry some power hungry SOB who will try to tell me how things should be done. I saw my parents talking to Andrealphus and his parents. I would rather throw myself into the streets of Greed than marry that pretentious prick." She will grumpily throw herself to the bench.

A metaphorical light bulb goes off in Vassago's head.

"Marry me then."

He can't tell if it's the wine, or the excitement of an answer to his own problem that makes him say those three words.

She looks up at the friend she's known her whole life, confused, a little mad, but mostly intrigued. "Do you want to explain orr??"

"Well, I'm a Prince already. I'm not a power hungry SOB to worry about. I'm also currently dodging marriage proposals since coming of age. Y, puedo cocinar tus comidas favoritas. (And I can cook your favorite foods)."

She continues to look at him, conflicted. He is the best possible circumstance. He's always been nice to her and her family.

"We're going to be obligated to convince an heir at some point. I don't want you to have to do something you don't want to do." She quietly says.

He looks away. He has always found himself attracted to men. She was actually the first friend he told about this. She was compassionate, heard him out. They would compare crushes they had. This bonded them closer.

And he would be lying if he said he hadn't considered the possibility before. If there was any woman he could think about being married to, it would be her.

"One heir is all we need. After that, I'm sure we could come up with some type of mutually beneficial agreement, no?" He now sits next to her on the bench.

The rest was history. They got married the following year, and within the same year, they welcomed their son into hell. The same year Octavia was.

From there, they were able to come to their agreement:

At least 4 weekly family dinners, though they did often eat together more.

Monthly dinners with both his and hers parents to make sure everything looked normal.

They had to attend one monthly public royal affair. Could be any of them, but they must be seen in public together.

Secrecy is key. Tell nobody about the other one's adventures.

Vassago can bring his partners home anytime.

She can bring her partners home anytime.

If either she or he had an issue, or a gut feeling about the other's choice in partner, the partner was asked to leave. No questions. They trusted each other.

Their staff was hand selected to uphold their very strict discretion.

In regards to their son, they are equals. Not one parent has more say than the other.

If either of them want out of this agreement, it ends. No hard feelings.

Taking the WHB demons thrifting

⟡ Masterlist ⟡ 

Characters: Paimon, Bimet, Eligos, Barbatos, Beelzebub, Amon, Morax, Ronove, Andrealphus, Vassago

A/N: First time writing for Vassago so let's hope I can nail his personality down since we didn't really get much of him the Beleth/Bephie event.

    ༺☆༻

The best one to go with, honestly

You could be looking through a rack for hours and yet, they manage to find something cute and in your size in the same rack

Will hype you up to buy something a bit out of your comfort zone

A thrifting trip can't be complete without a lunch before and a slushie or a visit to a café afterwards

    ༺☆༻

"Tell me why we're buying rags after some hobos instead of buying something nice and unworn, again?"

You've made a mistake, I'm afraid

Even designer outlets aren't good enough for Bimet

Your explanations about how more fun and good for the planet it is fall on deaf ears

    ༺☆༻

Another amazing patootie to choose to go with

It's harder for him to find something he likes, but once he sees the stuff you like, he's hoarding that shi at your feet

Snacks, snacks, snacks!

Honestly tho, Eli and Pai is the best fashion duo ever

    ༺☆༻

For someone who is naked most of the time, Barbs enjoys shopping for clothes a lot

He's especially interested in eye-catching prints

Doesn't really care about what you like, but what he would like on you (again, he literally wants you to be naked all the time, so what's the point of picking out clothes for you?)

Withe very item he wants to get the criteria are: how easy is it to remove? and will it make Barbatos look too good, making Leviathan hang him out of envy?

    ༺☆༻

This fucker tagged along only bc you promised to take him to some restaurant he hasn't tried before after you're done

*sigh* I hate to say it, but he would try to smell the articles of clothing for any remaining scent of the previous owner

You better hold him by the scruff of his neck so he doesn't do anything

"I like this top, I'm gonna buy it." "Oh? Lemme see *sniff sniff* Ooh, this belonged to someone who liked italian food and mostly matched it with (some other article of clothing)!"

    ༺☆༻

Amon, doesn't really have much of an input

Most likely he'll just stay parked somewhere, leaning against a wall and sleepily watch you browse the racks

When you ask for his opinion, you always get the same answer: "Looks good on you, love"

If you find something he might like, he'll have more to say, but is mostly happy that you want to get him something

    ༺☆༻

Aw, this cutie only went with you because you mentioned you wanna go to a cat café afterwards

Ironically, Morax ends up getting more things than you

The amount of fluffy and comfy sweaters that he can wear at home is enough to fill two bags

Visit to the cat café goes even better

You barely couldn't even leave bc the cats kept surrounding Morax

    ༺☆༻

As soon as you enter the store, he's immediately making his way to the lingerie section

"Hey, how about this? You'd look good in this and wouldn't have to be mad at me for ripping it apart."

To be fair, his style is on point and you end up buying the things he found for you

But to disappoint him, you also don't want him to rip thise things too, especially since they're unique and not from some store where you can buy more

    ༺☆༻

Oh no, this poor baby is trying to help you find nice things, but he can only pick them out by touch :(

He always brings you the ugliest things and it hurts you to tell him that they might feel nice, but look horrible

You end up buying some of the stuff anyway, so you can at least wear them at home while spending time with Andre

On the other hand, you find some nice suits for him, but he hates the texture of them

    ༺☆༻

Somehow, going thrifting with Vassago, you come out with outfits that would make a profesional stylist jealous

This man can take anything and make it look fancy af

Hell, you could give him a tablecloth and he'll make you look like a greek statue

In the end you both end up having a full bag of things

You have a bag of stuff for yourself and Vassago has a bag full of stuff for Agares

[the-s1lly-corner]

Surprising Vassago by learning Spanish

Something something trope of "character A learns characters Bs language in secret to surprise them" my beloved

Notes: reader is male, reader is not a native Spanish speaker, admin does not speak Spanish but is trying his best and encourages you to correct him if any translations are inaccurate, short post

CWs: none

God... it's going to be so hard to keep it a secret from him for long enough to actually show off your progress- pretending not to understand the sweet words he says about you (to your face and to others), gossip, little sayings he reserves for Spanish... you must try to fiegn obliviousness

Hiding away your notes and practicing while he's away so you can get the pronunciations right gets hard when he's a fan of popping in unannounced to surprise you

But when you do reveal it? He's head over heels and wants to know everything- how long have you been practicing? How far along are you? Will immediately jump into speaking Spanish out of excitement (and to scope out how fluent you are)

You don't even need to show off anything massive- slip in a "mi vida" or a "Te quiero"

It's so... small- modest and inconspicuous- but it rings deep in Vassago because that tells him in an instant that you've spent even just a tiny bit of your time to try to impress him

More than open to help you continue to learn the language as well

[lost-romantique]

I am trying desperately to figure out why parts of this fandom WANT a Stolas/Blitz/Vassago love triangle.

First of all, I thought we as a society have agreed that the love triangle trope is one of the worst romance tropes out there and that we’re all ready to retire it.

Second of all, it would be such a fundamental betrayal of both Stolas’s and Blitz’s character journeys for that to happen. Stolas would roll back his progress in making choices for himself and owning up to his mistakes, and Blitz would have every dooming fear he had about love validated and he’d shut down again.

Even if it’s just coming from the perspective of loving Stolas and thinking he can do better than Blitz, making Stolas even CONSIDER something romantic with Vassago, after everything he and Blitz went through, would be such an audacious display of character assassination.

And even if you don’t care about the characters, with all the other conflict going on, throwing a love triangle in there would just make the story bloated and irritating.

No matter how you look at it, adding a love triangle would be a dooming decision for the show.

I could understand the sentiment of Stolas and Vassago being a possible thing if we're referring to Apology Tour Blitz.

Back in Apology Tour, Blitz in no way was ready for a relationship and no matter how hard he tried to put that mask down, he wasn't able to open up completely without looking pained.

However, Sinsmas Blitz is genuinely the very best version of Blitz there is (so far).

Attentive

Caring

Fun-loving

Caretaker

Protective

Patient

Happy Cuddly Lizard 🦎

Suave and Romantic

And this version of Blitz is only able to exist because of the intensive character growth he went through in Apology Tour, Ghostfuckers, and Mastermind.

But the main reason why this Blitz is able to exist right now is because he has completely opened up his heart and soul to Stolas, and knows that without a doubt that he is genuinely loved by him (Stolas), Millie, Moxxie, and Loona.

Of course, Blitz has some more character growth to do, but right now, he's at much more healthier mindset than he ever was, and that's a miracle.

Stolas, right now, needs help and assistance and has some growing to do. And Blitz sees that and knows that. There is no better person to care for Stolas right now than Sinsmas Blitz.

I know Stolas is confused, lost, depressed, and is in desperate need of his antidepressants; but he is going to be fine as long as he is able to grow and adjust to his new way of life.

Right now, the man is now dealing with the fallout of every wrong thing he has ever done in the course of the series in genuinely the most fucked up way possible. Actions have consequences, and Stolas is now learning the gravity of that.

But I'm going to be blunt, the man made his bed, and now he only has Blitz. They don't owe each other a relationship, but if Blitz is giving 110% of his love and devotion to Stolas, and Stolas repays him by literally going, "I am now magically in love with Vassago who I have never had a fucking conversation with once in the entirety of two seasons."

That is going to ruin Stolas' character for a lot of people, and that is going to break Blitz in a way I fear he won't ever be able to recover.

Also, these guys are endgame. You can't get anymore endgame than the gayest- cheesiest Disney duet in the universe.

[theadhddimsenion]

ok so some theories, predictions, headcanons and hopes for season three and four.

Millie’s pregnancy will cause her to have her own mini arc so she can still have character development without retconning her.

the dhorks and cherubs plot line will lead to an all out invasion of hell by the dhorks which vassago will use against Andy and stella.

Andy and Stella will royally screw over the nobility by first Stella making a scene at the harvest moon festival, Andy icing over this years harvest and being responsible for the invasion of hell.

the battle at the palace in sinsmas will make blitz even more famous and popular with media outlets digging around in his personal life and getting a false report from cash.

veroskia will get her comeuppance when blitz’s fanbase harasses her just like she harassed him.

blitz and fizz will try to convince Barbie of the truth but she refuses to believe it but she is confronted by cash who drunkenly confesses to everything and that he was responsible for her mothers death because he spent the safety budget on booze, drugs and hookers and there was “nothing a little druggie brat like you can do about it!!” Maybe even going as far as to try and hurt her before blitz swoops in and pummels the old fuckstain. Afterwards blitz consoles his sister and helps her with her own self worth issues (a buckso family tradition) and after all that Barbie still doesn’t want to see her brother not because shes still hates him but because she can’t look at him without remembering the fire and so blitz respects her wishes but now she responds to his attempts to reach out.

cletus and keenie get worse and worse in their abuse of Collin and eventually fall from grace as the dhorks confess to not caring about humanity when questioned about wether or not starting a preemptive war against hell was in mankind’s best interest. Collin is still banned from Heaven but Loona gets a moment of maturity and comforts him sharing her own experiences with being abused by unfair systems.

all this turmoil causes a imp rebillon we first learn about when we here about Millie’s family defending the farm from anyone trying to take it. The current imp rebellion is little more than a collection of rabid gangs with few of them interested in anything other than hurting anyone above them on the hierarchy and blitz is forced to save veroskia and organize their ranks into a force for real change.

paimon will try and fail to bribe stolas into giving up his revolution leader boyfriend.

striker gets torn apart by the very common imps he pretended to care about and blitz gets bombproof.

stolas will win Octavia back by showing that he isn’t saving her from her arraigned marriage because he wants her forgiveness but because he wants what’s best for her even if she doesn’t forgive him.

Octavia herself will dig a little too deep into her mother and uncles scheme before Stella goes full mother Gothel and locks her in a tower.

stella will temporarily steal stolas powers so he can quite literally take his power back from his abuser.

Moxxie will drown his father in the same lake his mother died in.

loona will take on her own equivalent to cash, crim or paimon.

m&m and fizz and Ozzie go through their first spats and come out better for it.

fizz battles an army of fizzbots led by the one from loo loo land.

we get to meant stolas angel counterpart.

Millie decides to keep the child after realizing parent hood doesn’t always mean giving up your passion. And Loona volunteered as babysitter so there’s also that.

blitz gets to finally fuck ghosts.

stella works in a plebeian.

[friendlyfire454]

Just watched the new HB episode.

It was honnestly somewhat ok. At best. Some of the things that bothered me were.

Why are they making Andrephealus and Stella relationship so fucking incestous? Like he called her hot and attractive which is something we saw him do in Western Energy. He's also supposed to be gay, so that confused me too. I wouldn't mind his character that much if he wasn't bassicly flirting with his sister. I hope that they will end this soon.

The new characters were meh. Vassago wasn't even that interesting and i found him very very boring. He was hyped up as this new character and some people even speculated that he might be Stolas's new love interest. But he really doesn't do anything that interesting. Leviathan,i have mostly complains about their design. To me it just feels like a generic design of a sinner or a hellborn. But that's my own opinion. Finnaly Satan. He is actually kinda fine, his design bothers me due to the poportions. But he's ok.

The Stolas pity train, chugging on the tracks of pity party~..yeah once again they are trying to make everyone feel bad for him. Even tho he should've consequences due to the fact he gave the Grimoire to Blitz. They made him look even better in comparison to Stella as they try to make her a manipulative mother to Via. Which is something that we all just should've seen that coming, huh? Plus the ending and song makes me cringe.

Overal that's it on my part if you have another opinion you can tell me in the comments

[kanhotep]

Spoiler Warning for the new Helluvaboss Episode

The more I think about the episode and listen to this absolute epic song, the more awed I am.

Like, first of all, we were all so worried about Vassago and he is such a sublime diva, I love him.

But what really broke me (besides the obvious) was Satan calling Lucifer "The Golden Angel". Yes, he was bullshitting about his place in Hell's hierarchy but that makes it even more special: Lucifer has many names, the fallen angel, the snake of the garden, the devil and such are surely ones he despises for they remind him of what he believes to be his biggest mistake and consequently of his greatest pain but they are what most off hell would know him as.

He has been called these things for 10 000 years.

The Morningstar or Samael (if Lucifer in the Hellaverse is the prince of heaven Samael and I would think so) might seem better choices at first as these are the names he had been called in heaven but that would simply make them more painful.

But Satan doesn't call him any of these.

He calls him the golden angel.

Because even after all these years, that's what Satan sees in him. The angel. The light. It's not a name, to him it is a fact.

There is so much to unpack there alone and that was just one verse in this masterpiece of a song!

Speaking of the song, can we please all appreciate that Vivzipop gave us the opportunity to have a fucking villain song sung by a protagonist?! Aka, everyone's absolute dream!

And oh boy, did Bryce Pinkham deliver.

He did such an amazing job that at first I didn't even realize how bad the lyrics was.

"Does he deserve the flame?" - What flame, he was just about to be beheaded dude, you just used that because you needed a rhyme with blame.

"Scheming more mastermindery" - Bro, what ?

"Could master the disaster" - You can barely master the disaster xD

All in all, it seems very rough.

But the moment Stolas opens this, what pocket dimension ?, and he and Blitz sing about their true thoughts and feelings, all of that changes and we come back to the heartfelt beautiful lyrics we are used to.

Meaning, that this entire performance wasn't one of hell's spontaneous musical numbers that just happen, like Ozzie's and Fizz's parts in House of Asmodeus or "When I see him", where the music and words just come to the characters. It turned into one, but didn't start out like that.

No. This was Stolas, showing up, stopping an execution with probably only half an idea of what exactly Blitz has been accused of and deciding that the best way to save this idiot's life is to bullshit his way through a song he's coming up with on the spot.

Probably in order to ensure that that arrogant peacock wouldn't interrupt him because a) dude probably can't sing and b) of the sheer absurdity of the situation.

(Bonus points if Stolas also thought about how that was probably not even the most dramatic soap opera acting they'd seen that day considering who was obviously leading the show on the Goetias side. But I don't want to give the bird to much credit, we know him to well for that. I love him, but he's a himbo.)

Anyway, I just really needed to say all of this because my brain is in overdrive.

I'm also itching to start drawing a short tragic comic about what would've happened if Stolas had come to late but I try to stop myself because, one, at this point I don't know how much more my soul can take and two, I am in the middle of another Hellaverse Project I should really finish first 😅

[oceansarepink]

I heard you’re no longer watching Helluva Boss (good for you, honestly same here), but you said you might answer some asks before the end of the year, so I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about the show, feel free to respond if you want to, no pressure either way though.

I think the thing I hate most about Vivzie’s writing is the complete lack of subtlety. It’s like she can’t stand the idea of people misinterpreting her work that she makes everything so obvious that it’s hard to watch. Literal children’s shows are more subtle than VivziePop is.

In Mastermind, I honestly couldn’t get through it because the show is basically TELLING you who you’re supposed to think is bad and who is good. Like Andrealphus is BAD so let’s have him say he thinks his sister is hot. Stella is BAD so let’s make her be stupid and cruel. Satan is BAD so let’s have him gag Blitzø whenever he tries to defend himself. Mammon is BAD so let’s have him suggest that they skip the trial and just kill IMP. The rest of the upper class are BAD so let’s have them all agree with Mammon. Striker is BAD so let’s have him act completely out of character by siding with fucking Andrealphus (Striker is a fucking ASSASSIN, why is he doing all this to kill Blitzø instead of going after him himself?? In what universe would he ever hate Blitzø enough to want to work with Goetia’s to kill him).

Ozzie, Bee and Vassago are GOOD so let’s have them be the only ones who stand up for Blitzø and his employees. Honestly had to stop watching it was so bad. One or two of these might be forgivable, but all of them at once makes it so on the nose. And what’s worse is the show doesn’t seem to be making fun of itself when it does this, it takes itself so fucking seriously.

The only good part (that I saw at least) was the scene where IMP is trying to hide the evidence and make a run for it. Watching that part I had hopes that the episode wouldn’t be so bad, but unfortunately they ruined it with the stupid trial.

I think the show is best when it doesn’t take itself so seriously (as has semi competent writers working on it).

What makes it more annoying is someone made a (mostly) very well argued thread discussing the moral grayness and double standards asmodeus has towards imps as he chose to stay silent about all of the crucial details he knew about the situation. Out of concern for his own skin.

However no Vivienne sided with someone who said Ozzie could do nothing. He is a perfect good boy with no malice who never makes selfish decisions or does anything wrong ever.

Man you’re right, Viv is really treating this like High Drama and it fits stolas but the tone does not fit Blitz at all. When he was singing it was extremely forced and extremely awkward.

[jazeswhbhaven]

I know that we're still being introduced to nobles but out of the current nobles, Which kingdom do you think has the strongest ones? I was thinking Avisos because I'm biased and they literally have a massive three headed dog, but Like.....Hades has a man that turns invisible and whatever the fuck Glasylasbolas is. Gehenna also has the best snipers.

Hmmm, well originally I was thinking that Hades would have the strongest nobles because look at who they have to deal with on a daily basis, but it's the same as the Gehenna nobles who get kicked around by Satan frequently and they definitely have to survive that many kicks to be strong.

I also think in terms of teamwork and who works together to get things done too. Our Avisos boys may have Nabe, huge three headed doggo, but uh they are dysfunctional 😭 I would say they fare better as a support team.

For Hades, this trio may have their qualms with one another but they seem to hunker down and function enough to where to they can easily clear some angels if need be. Tartaros I would think they're strong....seeing as how Mammon leaves them quite often alone (Eligos especially) which shows that they must be able to handle most of the enemies on their own. Nifelheim is the most tricky to pinpoint on strength, during their event they weren't really doin' so hot against Agares and Vassago so they might be on the lower tier of strength.

The Abaddon bois? I have yet to see them fight, but if Asmodeus is clearly overpowered based on everyone trying to avoid him in the first place, then it must be the same for his nobles. Because remember, Dantalian can get himself up to Heaven without help just to mess with them and I find that fascinating.

The Paradise Lost bois are healers, but also in the main story we see Marbas was ready to eliminate MC if they posed as a threat, and then Buer...we will see how he fights when the next chapter is out. SO pending thoughts on them.

After ALLL of this observation, ya know TLDR....I'm going to have to go for Hades, because while Gehenna has quantity and great marksmen, we have three nobles for Hades that pack just as much power, Glas turning floors into lava like??? And he has that hole in his chest and he's moving around freely. In Order: (Strongest to Weakest) 1. Hades 2. Gehenna 3. Tartaros 4. Avisos 5. Paradise Lost 6. Abaddon 7. Nifelheim

❤️~SEÑORITA~❤️

Pairing: Vassago x OC!

Requested by my lovely bestie @earth-angel17

WARNINGS: none!

A BITTER SIGHT TO BEHOLD, A Goetia prince stripped of his power and status, while the arrogante brother in law of his literally went on his knees and ripped his coat as if he's Michael Jackson.

Walking with a dark cloud hanging over his head, Vassago grumbles, "Pedazo de mierda," he mutters under his breath, his gloved palm reaching to drag down his face.

"Sir?" The demon walking behind him speaks, "you seem troubled."

"Of course I am," Vassago replies, following with a sigh, "it was hard to sit and witness what they did to him. If anything, despite Stolas's choices, he is a better demon than Andrealphus..."

But in Hell, evil prevails.

Vassago...the Prince of Good Nature.

Does good nature even exist in this place? Well, in light there is darkness, and in darkness, there is light.

Someone has to be the good one in a cesspool of sinners and waste of space demons. Even if the weight of trying to be good natured is heavy. Vassago believes in fair chances, wanting to hear both sides of a story, analyzing all the facts before making the final decision.

But what he witnessed before him was orchestrated by the hands of Andrealphus and his sister, Stella.

Both beings wanting to dip their hands in the cookie jar, and in the end, succeeding at doing so.

Vassago sighs as he shakes his head.

What am I doing? I specifically came here to avoid the stress, and yet I brought it with me.

Turning to address the small demon who follows him, Vassago smiles. "You can explore if you want, I'll be fine by myself."

Surprised, the demon responds. "Are you sure?"

Vassago nods, waving a dismissive hand as he begins to walk forward. "Have fun," he calls over his shoulder, purposely disappearing down the coastline of Hell's beaches.

Funny thing to think about, Hell having its own beaches. Well, because they aren't exactly ordinary beaches. The water is tinted red, while the sand are broken down pieces of coal, warmed by Hell's pentagram sun.

It can be an intimidating place, especially when the sun is beginning to set behind the ocean.

But to Vassago, it's a work of art, a silver of paradise untouched and pure, kept a secret from the normal sinner demons who would taint it upon first touch.

His tail feathers drag behind him gently while he walks, both hands clasped behind his back while he tries his best to clear his mind of the intruding thoughts.

The solution? A distraction.

The distraction...a lovely señorita who stands 30 feet straight ahead, dipping her bare feet in the water in an almost dance-like manner, her arms extended in the air while she walks on the line where land touches the sea.

Her presence isn't unfamiliar, he can count on two hands how many times he's seen her from afar, the head of purple hair bright against the dim colors that bend all to well.

There were times he tried to follow her as she slipped through the crowds, only to emerge on the other side without her standing there.

For weeks, she's been a thought in the back of his mind, a temptation to address her and see if anything will spark.

It can't just be coincidence that he's not only seen you in Pentagram City, but here as well.

Despite his better judgement, a surge of excitement grips his chest at the sudden sight of the girl who manages to be there one moment, gone the next.

Maybe this is his chance to finally introduce himself...to finally break down the wall that's put in front of him every time he thinks about approaching her.

Exhaling quietly, running a hand down his suit and feathers—making sure nothing is out of place, he walks forward, careful not to move too slow or too fast.

Though the closer he gets, the warmer his cheeks suddenly feel.

He shakes his head. "Ponte las pilas, Vassago," he says under his breath. He can do this.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" He breaks the silence, catching the attention of the demon.

She turns, surprised and almost embarrassed by being seen when she thought she was alone.

Her eyes travel up and down this demon once, taking in his royal, rich, appearance. He's definitely not a regular sinner demon, perhaps a prince? He looks like a prince.

"Yeah, it is," she half smiles, "it's the only place in Hell that's actually..."

"Pure?" He raises an eyebrow.

She nods. "I was gonna say spared from Hell's dirty touch, but pure sums it up."

Vassago chuckles under his breath, her joke causing an amused smile to spread across his lips.

Like a gentleman, he bows, extending an open palm. "Vassago," he says.

She takes his hand. "Angie," she responds, "nice to meet you."

"You as well, Angelica," he remarks, a playful glint appearing in his eyes momentarily, before disappearing without a trace.

Angelica, that's a first. Not her real name but...the nickname does sound kinda cute. She couldn't help but notice the hint of Spanish in his accent when he said it, and deep down...she secretly liked it.

As Vassago stands up straight, his gaze glances over at the setting sun. The hours are nearly up, but...a few moments can be spared.

"Would you like to walk with me?" He asks.

Her brow furrows. "Why should I trust you?"

Ah, right, Hell. Home of sinners and evil. She has all the reasons to not trust him.

He shrugs. "You have a fair point but, I would enjoy the wholesome company for a little while. Besides, we both were heading in the same direction."

She laughs softly. "Well, you have a fair point too. Guess we were..."

Turning on her heels, she winks. "Shall we?"

...

As the saying goes, time flies when you're having fun.

They both walked, chatting about mindless things, occasionally chuckling at a joke or laughing at each other for something silly. And like Vassago claimed, wholesome company was indeed what the two of you needed.

Company where someone isn't trying to always kill you or fuck you, company where two people are just enjoying the simplicity's of conversation and walking. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Though of course, as the hour went on, the sun finally set, casting an eerie darkness over the once colorful beach.

Angie walks to the edge, where the exit stairway will take her back to Pentagram City.

"That was fun," she grins, "thanks for the company."

Vassago grins, clearly doing his best to hide the blush that refuses to go away. "It was my pleasure, señorita," he awkwardly pretends to scratch his cheek.

Will he be considered too weird or too forward for asking this? Maybe, but what the hell?

"Since we both had a good time...would you perhaps like to meet again? For coffee? Tea? Or whatever it is that you like?"

Angie chuckles. "Are you asking me on a date?"

Immediately, a look of shock is etched on Vassago's face, caught off guard by the sudden assumption that is both...a truth and not the truth.

"Well, I wasn't going to call it a date but...if you want it to be a date, then yes."

Amused by his dismissive nature, Angie replies. "How about we meet here at the beach again? This could be our official meeting spot. Sound good?"

Vassago nods. "Sounds wonderful," he bows once more, "adios Angie."

She chuckles. "Adios," she replies before turning and walking up the steps, disappearing on the other side.

Vassago remains footed in place. For the first time in what feels like centuries, his heart flutters.

Smiling, he murmurs.

"Ella es hermosa..."

She's beautiful.

I want you to know the next time Blitzo and Stolas will probably interact is in November's episode called Mastermind and I think that's going to be the trial episode and I also think that episode is going to be focused on how Stolas was dealt the literal worst cards that life could shuffle up for him

Like Blitzo had it BAD but I'm going to argue that Stolas had it worse

Because Blitzo HAD choices in life and it's clear in the episode that even Versokia knows he has choices

Stolas from the day till his divorce NEVER HAD CHOICE if you had a choice do you think he would have married Stella? had a daughter? lived in a big fancy castle by himself?

Stolas is lowkey being DRAGGED some choices that he didn't even get to make.

Stolas DIDN'T BUY BLITZO, HIS FARTHER DID.

Stolas didn't hit Stella, didn't call her ugly, didn't throw things at her, he didn't throw parties just to hate on her, he didn't even try to kill her, HECK the man was a decent partner you just really didn't like their wife.

He was a better parent than his father and a better parent than Stella, didn't hit Octiva like Paimon did to him, didn't ignore Octiva like Stella did.

The first and the only choice Stolas ever made ruined his life, yet it take Blitz about a thousand choices to ruin his life

And I'm not talking about his childhood that was not his fault, BUT DID YOU SEE THE AMOUNT OF EXES HE HAS?? HOW LONG THAT LIST WAS?? He brags about bringing Fizz TO TEARS, because he apologized for a mistake that he made a choice that he made.

In the episode blitz practically brags that he was able to apologize for one choice he made while only one choice ruined Stolas', life and he does it for petty reasons.

Could you imagine someone rubbing in your face that out of the 20,000 choices they've made in their life they're able to reverse one of them that didn't even impact him until he met the person more than once, BUT the first Choice you ever made in your life ended your life?

Stolas I am with you I would be so petty, like I'm not fully excusing what Stolas did but Blitzo just a dick at this point and it's gonna take more than an apology to get over it.

And it's not like blitz didn't go over there without the intention because he clearly thought about some of it.

✨VASSAGO IS GOING TO RUIN THIS MAN✨

I believe Vassago is not going to be a love interest for Stolas, but it's going to be an example of what a good person should do, and act like.

Blitzo, as we already know is a jealous mf and he will HATE Vassago.

But I believe the Vs of helluva boss (Versokia and Vassago) will be the ones to actually teach him how to redeem himself.

And I also think that eventually Asmodeus and potentially Fizz, will be the ones to instill in Stolas, that he may be doing the right thing but it doesn't look like the right thing from another person's perspective. He's doing what he thinks is best not what he thinks would be better for the other person that's his problem.

Moral of the story WHERE THE FUCK IS A THERAPIST?

Loona, Vassago, and Verosika x reader who is in a band

I need to stop drinking chai-- I love it but it does a number on my stomach

Notes: reader is gn for loona and verosika, reader is male for vassago, this is a request, short post, think small band thats just starting out/has a small fanbase

CWs: none

LOONA

she tries to go to your shows as often as possible- she has skipped worked to go see you play. she has some of your bands songs burned into a CD somewhere in her room. she.... has probably lost it, can totally see her having a messy room

you always make sure she gets to be in the front of the audience to get the best view and sound, you may be a small band and cant afford much but you do what you can where you can

sometimes you sit together at your place and make your own merch... you dont have enough fans to justify making your own merch line... and besides, making the shirt designs with your own hands with her are nice...! just... help her get the paint flakes out of her fur...

VEROSIKA

she understands how beginning artists can struggle and she tries to help you as much as she can... and that can be easy when she starts showing you off and wearing your merch around in public.. you try to insist that she doesnt need to do that... but she does genuinely enjoy your music! even if its not her style she can see the effort you put into it....

blitz... definitely left some issues regarding trust with her, so there is a vague worry that youre going to end up dipping once she gets your name out there. lots of conversations need to be had and trust is established!

often times you play as an opening to her concerts, shes always standing to the side backstage listening to your performance

VASSAGO

loooooooves all sorts of music genres but your style is probably one of his favorites! quite literally found you on accident- perhaps hearing you play at a small venue or park... or managing to stumble upon your music online-- it doesnt take long at all for your music to shoot to his top favorites

has zero fear in approaching you, though you may be a little taken aback given he- a member of the ars goetia- coming to you... (assuming youre of lower class... imp, hellhound, ect ect)... but with his charm you both hit it off quick!

headcanon that hes terrible with social media- he has an account on most of the big platforms and thus has a massive following... but his attempts at recording your shows kind of... suck... will post snippets of you playing/practicing with your permission

Since my mc has long hair, and in my head cannon minhyeok does his hair, I've been thinking of who'd do mcs hair in each nation

The go-to's:

Eligos: he'd brush and style your hair so good! His style will end up with a bow worked into your hair one way or another

Sitri: the events show how serious and reliable he is, so he will do your hair as you want it, his personal best hairstyles being professional, but if you were o tell him "like that" he'll do so

Paimon: he will do your hair well too, he'd specialise in trendy and fun hairstyles, matching too if it's something you'd like

Barbatos: out of all hades nobles, I think barbatos would do it the best, maybe it's because he has long hair and my minds biased in "hmm long hair must be good at doing hair", I think he'd do it well , probably would recommend good hair treatment for hair textures since his, to me, looks thick and on a wavy curly side

Orias: yknow, since he's a hell influencer, a beauty one at that, I think he'd do good hair health and styles, and if not at least follow along to hairstyles tutorials well ( be it idk the dude well)

Bael: name a thing he CANT do, quickly, but yea he'd brush and style your hair like a professional would, a zen moment for both

Dantalian: Maybe , at some point, he grew his hair out and styled it into cute styles to match with his outfits, and thus, learning to brush hair into cute styles with accessories, bows pins clips beads, you name it

Ronove: hear me out, he just gives me a vibe of someone who'd do hair well, specifically something to keep hair up and keeping your neck bare, idk why he just seems like the type to me

Bimet: he'd do it well, really well, add golden accessories into hair, you'd be amazed by the end, simply.... his fees are really high, it's a luxury treatment you need to pay a high bid for, AND he expects a tip after too don't be cheap

Mammon: he'd be amazing at hair prep and treatment, not so much styling. If you want him to do it well, he'll learn, but his hair care will leave you dazed. He will wash it carefully and in a way that feels like a massage. If you have hair care already, he'll follow it. If not, you will get one with top-notch products, after wash and hair products to your scalp, he'll brush and untangle your wet hair carefully, after drying, he'll brush your hair making it feel like a massage, by the end your faces is glowing and hair shimmering like gold, anything to make his master happy

The "alright with instructions and guides"

Astaroth, leviathan, foras, belial, vassago, Naberius, buer, Morax ( probably the to go in paradise lost), gusion, bathin, beleth, lucifer

The "he's trying his best, but also tugging on your scalp"

Tugging on purpose to annoy you: Satan, glasyalabolas

Tugging not on purpose: gamigin, leraye, andrelphus, zagan, stolas, amon

Got distracted half way and left you with a brush in your hair

Beelzebub, phenix, gamigin sometimes

I might've forgotten someone but idk yet, this is cringe I'm not a writer, I just felt like sharing cuz maybe someone will enjoy it, so for that one person who likes this, I do it for you!
