#where's the palace

The bit about the circles is actually in your post! In 'Helluva Boss Canon Lore Tidbits', 'Post 1', one of the images says 'Pride is the largest and most diverse Ring! It's divided into different area referred to as the "Nine Circles". These areas, much like the other Rings, come with their own quirks and lore'. I always thought it meant that Pentagram City was within the first circle, or maybe was the entirety of the first circle, and the rest are somewhere else that isn't relevant for the show. Don't know if the circles also go down like the rings or if they're concentric, but it would be extremely unlikely that an area as small as Pentagram City would be able to house the hundreds of millions of Sinners that must stay within Pride.

It is in my Canon Lore Tidbits! That's actually probably where I first read it LOL

Considering Pentagram City is boxed in by mountains, and the Ring doesn't expand past those mountains (well, as far as we've seen), I can't see there being more to the Pride Ring beyond what we've already been shown. I feel like if that were the case, it would've been alluded to in either Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss by now. Like, even just a small hint that there is something beyond the Pride Rings mountains - we've seen Stryker go in them, and then use a mining elevator to go down to the Wrath Ring, but he never went beyond them.

When I first read that the 9 Circles are divided in the Pride Ring, I assumed it meant they were divided in Pentagram City. But with how I've been world-building the city, I can't fit the 9 Rings in in a way that makes sense. Well, in a way that keeps everything balanced and even.

Although, we haven't seen exactly where Lucifer lives. We've seen the inside of his workroom, but the actual building? Nope. We have no idea where in the Pride Ring he resides, or what his house even looks like.

If Pentagram City is one of the 9 Circles and other Circles make up the rest of the Pride Ring, I can imagine that Lucifer lives there, in a separate Circle, as far away from the Sinners as possible.

Hmmm....interesting interesting

every time I read about this Disney vs DeSantis thing and the bit about how the agreement doesn't end “until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England" all I can think about is some bumbling caper where the Florida government repeatedly tries to assassinate the entire royal family just to spite Disney

can y'all please come into my humble abode and imagine something with me i don't yet have the wits to write a full fledged fic out of (yet)?

so, everyone knows how when you get a tattoo, part of the healing process is the itchy phase, right? and for obvious reasons, you can't scratch it. favored method, in my experience and fellow tatted friends, is to just give it a good old slap.

perfect. so now, with this in mind, can you imagine having gotten a large hip/ass piece, and how mortifying it would be to smack your own ass to soothe that itch? and it's just plain painful. you want your new ink to heal properly - it's gorgeous and you put a lot of time, pain, and money into that damn thing - but it just sucks.

enter best friend eddie.

he loves your new ink. thinks it's fucking sick. nearly creamed his damn pants when he found out you were doing a hip/ass tatt (because how can he ask to see it without being weird? how can he react to that without being weird when he's spent the last several years with the world's most pathetic crush on you?) at first, it's fine. you show him the tattoo in a totally friendly, totally platonic way. he hypes you up, he calls you 'the most metal person he knows'. flourishes you with all the compliments and looks at you with starry eyes out of sheer awe at the way he's managed to snag a person into his life who is just so. damn. cool.

but the days pass by, that new ink begins to heal, and it fucking itches.

when you first proposition him, you're even more embarrassed than he is. stumbling over all your words, the request coming out contorted every wrong way. you don't want to make things weird, but is it really that weird for a friend to help a friend? it is really that weird to ask your best friend to smack your tattoo to help with that itch you can't even really properly reach?

it's just friends helping friends.

and that's the mantra you both repeat to yourselves - as you request the embarrassing favor of him, as he agrees almost too eagerly, as you find yourself face-planted in your bed wondering how deeply you can bury down your shame as he tries to make jokes to make it all a bit less awkward.

it's just friends helping friends, until eddie's hand lands down on your ass with a resounding smack, and that first little whimper escapes your lips.

One of the things I'm missing the most when I think about not getting a season 2 (and, by the same token, one of the things I love seeing in fanfic) is getting to see more of Crystal and Edwin growing into a relationship.

I think their back-and-forth would start to be a real point of entertainment for both of them, still with sharp edges but with a thread of warmth underlying it that belies the snippy tones. I think Crystal would start to keep a mental list of all the things that she can tweak Edwin's tail about that will genuinely annoy him, but not cause any real harm (and a parallel list of things that aren't funny, that make him shut down for real or retreat into stiff formality or foist her off on Charles until he can get himself together.) I think they would slip effortlessly back and forth between snarking at each other and ganging up on the rest of the world (Charles and Niko excepted) while Charles watches with stars in his eyes.

I want to see them showing up for each other, defending each other with words and with magic and with the right piece of information at the right time. I want to see them looking to each other for honesty, because they both know how to be cruel when they have to, and sometimes you need someone to just tell you the truth. I want to see them both understanding what it's like to be someone who doesn't think of themself as kind, or likeable, or good, but is trying.

I have so much love for snarky characters who are kind and generous and caring, but not necessarily nice or comfortable. I adore the kind of complicated friendship where you know you can trust their kindness because you've seen them at their most ruthless. They make me crazy. They could be so good for each other. They are so good for each other. I want to see where it goes.

druk being the goodest dragon is cute but pls consider. druk matching zukos attitude. hes just really mean and bites people and is only really ever sweet to zuko, and later, izumi. theyre assholes and theyre made for each other

[mirabel-on-a-bicycle]

Its soo funny to me that Edwin and Crystal, who apparently are "so alike", were hissing and growling and throwing hands at each other for almost the entirety of the season, while Edwin and Niko, 2 people who genuinely couldn't have been more different, were besties at first sight. Bonded for life and beyond. Funniest group dynamic fr
