#verosika wasn't lying was she

[lindentea]

y'know, i had a moment of cognitive dissonance for a second at first like "wait why would being a top mean not giving head??"

...and then it clicked and i remembered i'm a lesbian.

What Blitz regrets

Interestingly most of Blitz's memories are more accurate with people's expressions than Stolas' in all 2 u.

Here's how he remembers the fire.

He see the imp lady and Cash bookit passed him. Then the pink horse cuts across him.

Then him seeing Fizz and trying to direct help to him.

Next is him trying to get to his Muma

Then we get the aftermath of the fire. (Screaming face made of flame).

Cash grabbing Blitz by his freshly buried wrist to hold him in place to hit him. Immediately blaming him for an accident. His mom just died and his dad did this.

Then blocking access to Fizz, shoving Blitz away. Before lying that he never visited, and that Blitz deliberately set the fire, isolating and scapegoating Blitz.

Moving on to Ozzie's which is large part of his film of his regrets and envys.

Fizz hating him on sight.

And Verosika too.

oh but he missed Stolas getting up to try to defend him from her.

Blitz also focuses on his putting his hand away from Stolas trying to comfort him

Though you can see Stolas miss reads his expression right before. When Ozzie showed his daughter hating him, and had people side with his abuser because she was 'cheated on'.

Stolas being sad when the only thing they have is Stolas wanting to fuck him.

They are both forced on this bit. That they don't have a relationship where they talk and cuddle, because it wasn't a real date. He made sure of that.

(never say never Mr too much Imp to simp)

Stolas giving him the crystal and asking him to stay. Definitely shows the crystal is huge sore point for him.

Stolas was more focused on how surprised Blitz was.

Stolas walking away from him as Blitz yells that he'll apologise to everyone else. But never him. If he hadn't said the previous 'fuck you' making Stolas think he gave him a fake reason for blowing up at him, Stolas would have understood.

Stolas singing the line "I don't think you ment to hurt me, because I don't think it meant a thing at all to you"

Oof that must have hurt.

"This whole thing we had going... I'm- I mean you're a fucking prince. How could you ever actually care for an imp... Me? How could anybody". Oh he regrets not believing Stolas cared for him.

And regrets missing his chance to comfort Stolas. (Blitz failed a QTE).

But ok big big difference here! Blitz has definitely misunderstood. Stolas' isn't crying.

He's edited out what a mess Stolas was here. Like he's forgotten how drunk he was..

And Stolas kissing the twunk is a perfect match... Oh that got seared into his brain didn't it.

Pure envy

Blitz so badly want that kind of romantic relationship

Barbie telling him he's ruined her life, and she never wants to see him again. (Just going to sob in a corner here).

And Loona. Both times are fights about being really family.

Loona: Oh, what does it matter?! You're not my real dad! I was almost eighteen!

Blitzo: It still counts!

Loona: Well, it shouldn't! I didn't need you then, asshole! I don't, now

Blitz needs to be needed by the people he loves. Otherwise he thinks they're leave him

Blitzo: Oh, Loona, my sweet baby girl! I'm so sorry, I'll never replace you no matter what you--

Looks like he still worried that she hasn't really forgiven him for saying he's replace her.

Blitz isn't just talking about Stolas here. He thinks if he's bankrupted IMP Milli, Moxxie and Loona will all leave him too. Spirals to rock bottom in this one.

So glad Millie could help pull him out.

[helluvapurf]

...so uhhhhh, "Apology Tour" was... *interesting*-

Didn't even seem that long ago since "Full Moon" came out so I didn't expect another ep drop this morning, buuuut welp! Lets discuss:

First off just to smoothen things up a bit, The Positives:

-Animation & visuals were quite pretty, and wasn't expecting the whole "spooky Halloween" aesthetic at Verosika's party (tho that may just be the summer season speaking lol) but hey, I kinda dig it~ 👀

-Verosika in-general, I was super stoked to see more of here! 💜and even with her staying pretty sassy/bitter towards Blitz... its honestly hard not to feel for her once she & him finally had that one-on-one convo (even revealing that she did legit love him... but Blitz simply couldn't stay with her due to his own commitment/intimacy issues ;-; ). And even if it was technically more of a pettiness move to theme her party around hating Blitz... in a way, its lowkey kinda sweet how much she wanted to help others "heal" from heartbreak? Aww... 🥺 Idk, do I still wish Verosika could've been more of the "major" character focus here (as Fizzarolli was in his past couple eps)? Absolutely. But for what its worth... I had fun watching her as I did💗 (& hopefully this won't be the last time Verosika appears story-wise, cause oml imagine the bonding potential of her, Blitz & Fizz as a reunited trio lol)

-That one incubus dude that flirted with Stolas (+kissed him) at the end seemed like a chill dude. Even if he most likely won't appear again, his vibe was fun to watch lol.

-OH, we finally get to see Mrs. Mayberry again, sweet~! :> ...and, she's apparently dating Martha now? Huh, thats... interesting, I guess? .3. (*wonder what happened to her husband/kids tho, 'cause I kiiiinda thought they would've landed in Hell too ngl-*)

...aaaaand okay yeah, that'll cover the Positives I've got atm. Now for The Negatives... ohhhhh boy:

-I... guess I'm not super alone in this opinion rn from what I've read from other fans, buuuuut... Stolas can you shut your entitled-hypocrite-mouth up for five minutes, please?? 🤦‍♀️Like, I know the dude's still reeling from how "Full Moon" ended, so him being in a mixed mood is to be expected tbh... but omllllll the way he was just SO smug, dramatic and pushy about being the "good guy" in how he & Blitz ended (-as if HE wasn't the one who set up their whole "transactional" dynamic since the start of the freakin' show?? =_=), even whining about the events of "Western Energy" (-when all Blitz was doing was prioritizing his daughter's well-being at the hospital, like a good dad should), was just... seriously?? >> Like... yes, Blitz may be a whole mess himself with how he's treated others (esp poor Verosika 💔), but that does NOT make Stolas a saint with how he handled things himself. From hanging the Grimoire over Blitz's head, creeping on him again & again, practically ragdoll-ing the poor guy's feelings during the crystal exchange (not even skipping a bit when Blitz was close to crying), aaaaand not to mention...

...so like, tell me how I'm expected to believe Blitz is the one who needs to do all this apologizing/groveling... WHEN HE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO STOLAS EXCEPT (RIGHTFULLY) CALLING THIS BLUEBLOOD BIRD OUT ON HIS BS?? 😑

*sighs* Sorry, didn't mean to get heated there but... yiiiikes is this show sending so many mixed messages of where I'm supposed to stand with these two, I can't keep up anymore- 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

-As much as I get what the ep was trying to do in having Blitz see past his own ego/apologize to others… Iiiiii'd be lying if I said I didn't feel just a tad bit uncomfortable at the increasing Blitz hate, throughout the party-sequence ^^; Like, I know he's a shitty guy who's done shitty things, and absolutely he needs to recognize how much he's hurt those like Verosika (& his other exes)… buuuuut tying into my previous point, it just rings rather unfair that most of this seems mostly spurned from him rejecting Stolas, of all people? ._. When… again, they were NEVER an actual couple like him & Verosika were, instead were just a simple once-a-month hookup deal that soured 'cause of Stolas' mess of a "confession"… y'all really expect me to believe Blitz is the bad guy for not immediately accepting the "feefee's" of a privileged, horny prince (aka: the one who did hold the Grimoire over his head since S1's "Murder Family")? …Ehhhh, sorry but I am NOT buying that crap lmao -x- 👎

[seramilla]

Verosika struggles with saying “I love you”— after all the first person she said it to, left her after hearing. But Odette doesn’t pressure nor does she rush verosika to say it, she allows for it to be natural and for it actually mean something and for that— Verosika is eternally grateful.

Odette doesn't say a word when Verosika's annual "Halloween" party comes around. She can't say that she gets it -- she also has her own share of bad experiences with exes, but never any that made her want to rip out their aorta and stomp it into the dirt, like Verosika seems wont to do with Blitzo.

But Verosika had explained pretty early in their relationship that it's not about Blitzo anymore -- yeah, she'd been a devastated young demon in love when he'd left her in the lurch, but Verosika has moved on since then. These days, the parties are about helping all those other victims who've been abandoned by that two-timing, selfish prick. The Goetia prince Stolas, most recent of all.

Maybe it's because of Blitzo, or maybe because Odette also just doesn't want to rush things, but the first time an "I love you" is dropped is after the latest party. Verosika comes home a lot less...wound up than Odette had expected. Tired and exhausted, yes, but her partner seems almost...relieved? Less stressed than that morning? Whatever happened, Verosika doesn't come crawling into bed needing reassuring cuddles like Odette had expected her to. Instead, she just changes into her PJs and climbs in next to Odette like it's any other evening, moving softly so she doesn't wake up her partner.

It's useless, though, because Odette had already been lying there awake, waiting up for her, unable to sleep. When Verosika sees Odette's eyes glowing back at her in the dark from under a bundle of blankets, she smiles.

"Hey, babydoll."

"Hey...how was your party?"

"Good!" Verosika is oddly...chipper for it being 3 in the morning and having run on adrenaline and Beelzejuice all day. She seems unusually sober, too.

"Are you...okay?" Odette asks, wincing a little bit when Verosika's ice-cold legs and tail come into contact with her body, and she snuggles up under Odette's chin. Verosika's definitely been in the human realm, all right. It's always so fucking freezing there.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because...it's Blitzo."

Verosika's smile does falter a little, at hearing his name. But surprisingly, amazingly, it doesn't seem to be affecting her the way Odette had thought it would. She doesn't grumble or yell or do any of the stuff she was doing this afternoon, while getting ready. What exactly had happened that night? Had something happened, or is she just overthinking this?

"Yeah, well..." Verosika starts, "I tapped out early. Tex wrapped everything up for me."

"What? Really?" Odette is surprised. She'd expected the party to be an all-night affair. She supposes it is rather odd that Verosika is back before dawn. "Did something happen?"

"Yeah," Verosika answers, just letting that response linger in the air for a while. She doesn't bother to elaborate. Odette's not sure if she should ask for details. "You know, babydoll, I might see if some of the others wanna run the shin-dig next year. I just wasn't...feelin' it tonight."

Now, that's extremely unlike Verosika. She has always been Blitzo's #1 Hater and plans these parties months in advance. She has the T-shirts, bumper stickers, and stacks of planners to prove it. What gives???

"Okay, wait, now I know something's up. There is absolutely no way you'd be saying this if something major didn't happen. Spill it! Are you okay? Did Blitzo...die or something? Why are you taking this so well?"

Verosika sits up to be able to look down at Odette in the dark. A pair of concerned, red eyes meet gold and pink, and Verosika sighs contently. She reaches a hand up to rub Odette's cheek, then runs it through her hair and scratches Odette's scalp lightly with her claws, the way she likes.

"He apologized. Finally. And I guess I just realized it doesn't...bother me anymore, now that I have you. I'm not over what he did to me, but I'm over him. I still put up the act, to get everyone in the mood, but to be honest, my heart just wasn't in it. And maybe that's the goal of the parties. To get to a place where I didn't need 'em anymore. The whole time, I just wanted it to be over, so I could be back here with you...where my heart truly is."

Odette looks up at Verosika, her red eyes shiny and wide like glistening saucers. She grips the blanket tightly to her chest, squeezing it between her claws. Is Verosika really saying...?

"...Because I love you."

There it is.

Odette's not going to cry...she's not going to cry...Odette Carmine doesn't cry!

"I love you, too, sweetie!" Odette says, a little too excited. She sits up to give Verosika an affectionate peck on the cheek. Then the peck turns into a passionate kiss, and okay, maybe a few tears leak out around her eyes, and the kiss turns a little heavy. "All night I just wanted you to be here! I missed you so much!"

Verosika does get a little emotional, then, too. She falls sideways into Odette's laps, throwing up her arms exaggeratedly and grabbing Odette's face between her claws for emphasis.

"I was so miserable, babydoll!!! As soon as the concert was over, I just hung out on the balcony. Then Blitzo and his whiny ass tried to ruin my party. But he was such a sorry sack of shit over Stolas dumping him, I almost...felt sorry for him! Me?! Verosika Mayday, sorry for Blitzo Buckzo?! I must really be losing it!"

"Nah," Odette smiles, leaning down to give Verosika another kiss on her forehead. Her girlfriend's skin is salty from sweat and booze, but she almost doesn't care. They are having a moment. "You're not losing it. That just means you're finally growing up to be a big girl who doesn't give a shit about no man!"

Verosika looks up at her girlfriend, grinning slyly. She pulls Odette down closer to her face by her nightshirt collar, her voice laced with a hint of spice. "Watch it. Don't think I'll take that from you just because you're hot."

Odette laughs and blushes. "Noted."

They settle back into bed again, side by side, Verosika's head tucked up snuggly under Odette's chin. Before the two of them fall asleep, Odette vaguely hears Verosika mumble something else about Blitzo, and manages to pick up the last thing she says before nodding off.

"Maybe I should consider passing the torch. That fucker Dennis looked like he really needed a leg up tonight... Maybe more than a leg... Sorry little fucker."

[curious-shadow-cat]

....

WOW....nevermind pointing out Stolas's flaws, it's just ALL Blitz's fault for letting 'self hate' get in the way of his 'relationship' with Stolas. Now who caused that self hate (Or made it worse I mean)?

It couldn't have possibly been Stolas who's fetishized imps and used them as stress toys over the years....

There is so much lying from Stolas. And why would Verosika even care about the racist?? She doesn't even know what they've been through.

V*v:"Um?? Actually both Stolas AND Blitz are in the wrong and you'll see why--"

What does Blitz having broken other people's hearts in the past have anything to do with how he hurt Stolas? He didn't even care at the time. And yeah, Blitz was right, all Stolas ever wanted was to get him in the bedroom, not ONCE has he talked about anything else. AND took everything he said as a joke. He's never seen him as an equal, he never spoke to him like an equal. Oh and him taking care of his daughter is a lot more important than saving someone who only saw him as his toy.

Music wasn't bad this time. It was alright.

@lustsang asked: "Wanna hear something funny? Some people think we should start dating, and I am like haha Ozzie honestly deserves much better then someone like me, he is sweet and kind and is always there for me but I am not good for him...no he deserves someone better then a whore like me." She said as she spoke to her friend, a drink in hand she sipped it back not realizing she had said that quite loudly. / whistles softly. / unprompted, always accepting.

❝ ♪ Hm...? ❞ the way king of sin lulls his head to the side from his spot on the loveseat — over there, in the direction where he hears the clicking of popstar's heels coming. Indeed, he's expressing keen interest in what hot details she has ... maybe not for him (he's quickly realized) but to eavesdrop in his own club? His own ring? He see's no harm. He couldn't help it!

Remaining in his unassuming position of lying low on the sofa — his head propped up with a claw — Ozzie's sweeping that obscenely long tail of his to be just out of Verosika's line of vision with a mischievous grin spreading across his face (and a crinkle in his eyes to match). Talking about the sin, himself?! Ooh, this is getting better! ❝ Hm — !! ♡ ❞

But oh, at the same time ... poor thing. How unfair for a pining, bleeding heart like hers to bleed more for him. She played off their small gestures pretty well for a while, too! Too bad it's fruitless to pretend with him, especially long term. A game many lose to time and time again when playing with him. Ozzie's tempted, at first, to address it immediately with some commentary of his own but decides against it - at least, until she's hung up her call.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ And when she does... ooh.

Finally, sin reveals himself. The way he sits up from lying down, it's alarming how he was able to remain hidden for that time considering his size. ❝ Verosika, Verosika ♬ ❞ he's chuckling to himself when he turns his head in her direction. Slowly, he's rising from his seat and approaching her with his arms open, ❝ I sincerely hope that all that degradation shit wasn't self-depreciation and only silly rumors! And y'know what? I hope in response to those rumors — I hope you said something twice as good: we sleep together. ❞ He knows that'll get them to can it.

Rumor or not, his succubus are more than welcome to use his name in a way to get demons to back the fuck up. It's a wonderful repellent! Upon standing before her, he's thumbing the dribble of alcohol on her chin. ❝ And even better, send 'em my way and I'll tell 'em the same shit. I think that's actually pretty funny, too. The dating rumor. What'd you say to that?! ❞

[the-vees]

Continued from x with @kamon-of-hope

Velvette scoffed, already not a fan. This was actually some of the worst music she'd ever heard in her entire fucking afterlife... Okay, it didn't compare to how awful country music was, sure, but it definitely still wasn't what she'd call "good". And thus, every comment she made in the video she was filming was critical, rather than any words of praise.

She also refused to applaud, simply rolling her eyes. Needless to say, Velvette was not amused. And honestly, considering how K-Pop fans are, she figured it was just a miracle nobody tried to mug her. K-Pop fans are wild, man. Then again, she had heard worse music. She'd never be caught dead playing Crazy Frog again. Or anything by Nicki Minaj. They were trendy in some areas, sure, but she saw no appeal. Her tastes were much more in the likes of pop, but even then, she didn't like every pop artist. She had very high standards, some that were met mainly by Verosika Mayday. She'd be lying if she claimed the playlist she most often played wasn't half Verosika, and half... whatever else she happened to enjoy at any given time.

Still filming, Velvette raises her hand, flipping the band off with a fanged scowl. She can't have them getting too confident, now can she? They were shitty, anyway. It wasn't even that they couldn't sing. That, she would concur, they were good at. They just seemed... annoying. Then again, she did, again, live with Valentino and Vox, so... that was hardly surprising as a viewpoint for her to have.

Helluva Boss Episode 3 - Reaction and Thoughts (Spoilers)

I've got the episode pulled up and I'm gonna be keeping a running commentary of my thoughts. See everything below the cut!

- The episode description reads - "When Blitzo's ex girlfriend steals his parking spot things sure do happen." I'm intrigued, but it does sound right for Blitzo, for all that we love him, he's a petty asshole.

- Ok, so the Imp Van is gonna remain a thing, I like it! Poor Loona, she looks so embarassed.

- "Buck You Flitzo" on one on the signs in the parking lot...

- Verosica? Is that her name? Love her pink and bubblegum aesthetic.

- Oh shit - I don't know if Blitzo's sister is *actually* in rehab, but the idea that Blitzo's family would have substance abuse issues never occurred to me.

- Loona has an almost fangirl look in her eyes seeing Verosica.

- Horse riding lessons, huh? Why does that sound familiar *cough cough Instagram cough cough*

- Huh, I wouldn't think that Loona would be into pop enough to know Verosica, but famous is famous I guess.

- Damn, even Moxxie is getting into the roast! And I love that Moxxie's "exception" would be Michael Crawford from POTO.

- "Shut up, Da - Blitzo!" I heard that, Loona!

- Huh, Vortex seems ok so far. Is Loona seeming a lot more vulnerable than usual or is it just me?

- Moxxie, no! Your only kiss marks should be from Millie!

- A demon duel with Spring Break as the battleground? I dig the concept!

- Heh, I like the aesthetic of the plan - is this how Blitzo draws?

- Ok, the fourth wall break about the "freaks" who are crazy about Loona is when I burst into laughter.

- I know people have been wondering about how much the humans know of the demons, so it's interesting to know that Loona thinks going up top without a disguise is a terrible idea.

- Loona can identify the list by smell? Awesome!

- I forget sometimes how young Loona is supposed to be, but in her human form, you can't mistake that she can't be older than 20.

- I give the IMPS points for creativity on those kills.

- Ok, so it's spelled Verosika with a K, I'll remember that for the future.

- For a song about boning, this music is a lot more chill than I expected. Took me a couple seconds to recognize V's goons out in the audience in their human forms.

- "Where's my baby!!" I'm pregnant with my first child, a little girl, and I'm sure I'm gonna be an overprotective wreck when she's Loona's age, even though she's certain to be taller than me.

- Ok, so it's not just a sex potion, it's some sort of mutation formula?

- Poor Loona, I think we'd all go gaga for a handsome guy like Vortex, and yes, Tex is an easier name to remember. I hope he sticks around, Loona *is* pretty lonely.

- "Conversation leads to HPV!" Blitzo, Tex is actually being a gentleman, do you not know what that looks like?

- Hell yeah, Team M&M!

- "I was almost 18!" - ok, THAT puts a lot of things into context. Sounds like calling Blitzo "Dad" would be difficult for Loona even *if* she wasn't antagonistic towards him.

- If "Beer Possum" is a real game, I want no part of it.

- "I'm glad you can stick up for yourself at least - takes guts!" - huh. Wonder if that means that Tex puts up with more crap from Verosika than he should.

- "When did you get four heads? I wanna kiss 'em!" - Ah Moxxie, still nuts for his wife even when he's at 50 % ABV!

- LOVE the design of the Catfish Kaiju!

- So it's improvisation that makes Millie so good at her job! As for pegging, wasn't that what we were all assuming anyway?

- "My girlfriend throws some crazy house parties" - oh dear, poor Loona! In all seriousness though, if she can meet some other hellhounds, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

- I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't take the extra opportunity to flip off my ex in Blitzo's shoes.

- "All right sluts, get ready to suck some pig dick." I would laugh, but unfortunately, we all know there are officers who accept or extort sexual bribes.

- OH! James Monroe Iglehart from Broadway as Vortex! I knew he sounded familiar! I know he had a one-off line in the Hazbin pilot, I hope he can come back every now and then.

- "OMIGOD I just went through puberty twice!" And that's why not everyone is a metal singer, Blitzo!

Ok, that was really fun!

[hazbincalifornia]

rank the helluva antagonists from hottest to nottest

At the high end:

-Verosika: I mean... c'mon. Succubus, hot, tall, great voice? Take me. My only problems are with those dumb extensions of hers, and I wouldn't exactly be staring at them.

-Striker: Look, I wrote reader smut with him, this isn't a shock. Cowboy Man Good.

-RoboFizz: Canonically has a sex toy model and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little interested.

-Agent Two: I just think she's cute, tbh.

-Agent One: Slightly below Two because I don't like him quite as much.

-Big Stella: ...Look I’m kinda a furry and she’s hot, alright?

-Martha: Only here because she'd kill me afterwards and stick my head on a pike.

-The Cherubs: Go as a unit and not really my thing. (Maaaaybe Keenie, though.) It's cute when people draw them with Razzle and Dazzle, though.
