#why is Seekers NOT an anime season

[galehowl]

Watched Ghost Game more or less ( and re-watching it again immediately with company ), and I didn't really like it.

I know it's just not for me, but somehow it still infuriates me that it came so close to being what I hoped to see from Digimon all these years - a proper horror/mystery setting, and then fell flat because it's still aimed more for kids.

God I WISH they went for a different art style and made it for a bit older audiences, so the horror element could be properly explored more.

The pacing and monster-of-the-week thing where each issue is resolved within a very short episode also just kills it for me, because some episodes have SUCH cool premises that could've worked much better if they were given a few more episodes per plot, to really give it some atmosphere and actual mystery-solving, or proper character development. The overall plot is also just a mess and feels like it barely existed, and IMO the main villain was just underutilized and just, eugh. I'm not even gonna say anything about the last episode lol.

The characters were also very flat and superficial, like it was hard to care about anything at all when the characters ( who are kids!!! ), are dealing with stuff like that, get tortured, cursed and god knows what else, and just don't have any reaction to it. Like come on, this really would've benefited from if we had them written better and more grounded, with more psychological stuff involved, too. Same goes for side characters.

Not to mention some very weird use of some Digimon, unresolved storylines, etc..

I liked some things about it - namely some great story ideas, the animation, some of the episodes were still really neat even with the insane pacing, Gammamon is very likeable, but overall, just. Ugh.

It feels like it could've been SO much more had the creators gone with some better direction for it, one way or another.

History:

10 million years ago before the events on Earth, Shockwave along with Megatron had found the corpse of a Predacon that they decided to use their Blood/Energon to turn one of the Decepticons into a killing machine, Starscream is the one who ends up being subjected to the Shockwave's experiment which has been tortured and torn into becoming someone he was forced to become

Currently when the Decepticons are arriving on Earth according to what Soundwave reported, Megatron sends Shockwave to use his killing machine 'Starscream' to destroy the Autobots, which Shockwave, when freeing Starscream from his cell attacks him leaving him wounded and escaping to earth with some shots to his body when the Decepticons tried to catch him

Upon arriving on earth, Starscream dedicates himself to hiding without have no contact with the seekers or with the humans so that they would not hunt him but as the months passed (in the Second Season) Jetfire and Bumblebee were looking for the Allspark somewhere on earth until they meet again with Starscream

Whom they decide to help in his situation with the condition that he controls his new predatory instincts due to the effects of being a Predacon in case he becomes a threat to the Autobots

In addition, Starscream, without realizing it, over time redeems himself as well as ending up having certain feelings. by the explorer, Bumblebee.

(I don't plan to draw his alternate mode because I need something practical with drawing robotic animals or dragons)

It was time to make a drawing of Starscream as Predacon, because Starscream being the most popular character, it is very strange that he doesn't have a Predacon version, which makes me I miss it a little that's why I decided to draw my own version as Predacon

Stolas is incredibly classist!

And probably doesn’t realise it.

I already made a short post about it here but I want to go more into detail with all of this.

First I want to show how he is acting with demons that aren’t Goetia and then how his classism even bleeds into the relationship with Blitzø.

Disclaimer: I love Stolas, he is one of my favourite characters of the show! Doesnt mean though I wont critic him for some of the bullshit he is pulling

Stolas is constantly dismissing other demons and looking at all of them from a high angle. We can clearly see it when he interacts with Millie and Moxxie

Just look at his uninterested face too while Moxxie is talking to him

Not to forget he keeps referring to Imps as "little ones“ etc

Of course he is aware of his status sometimes and does use it to get into Ozzies. But he also does it while presenting himself on a higher angle than the poor bouncer in front of the club would’ve needed

Like Stolas you’re already one of the princes of hell, the guy KNOWS who you are! Why are you giving him this look??

He doesn't see any imp or even any demon who is ranked below him as equal. It shows again when he is directly attacked by Striker. Stolas was mostly chill about the situation and not even fully aware he was in danger!

Yes, he brings it up but he isn’t fully convinced of it himself. The first time he REALLY understands he is in big trouble is when he realises that his glare doesn’t work!

I don’t think Stolas doesn’t know what holy rope is. But I do believe that he himself didn’t think an IMP could possess such dangerous equipment!

And what shows it to me the MOST that he really doesnt seem to hold any respect to Imps that aren't Blitzø is this:

How he handles Pringles, the butler of the family!

He literally squeezes him so tightly the poor guy cant get any air anymore!

Just holding him and handling him as if he was an object! Dude is already getting dizzy and Stolas wont let go of him!

Yes I know I suppose this is mostly a visual gag to make the scene more entertaining. We just cant forget that animation is a long process to do. Anything, any action a character does is there for a reason! If Stolas WASN'T a person who wouldnt handle an Imp butler like this, it would'nt be in the scene!

This is already enough proof for me that Stolas is very classist. Its so casual for him and normal that he doesnt even seem to realise it! Why do I think that? Because it bleeds into the relationship with Blitzø!

All the things Stolas keeps saying about Imps, he also says directly to Blitzø.

Calling Blitzø "his little Imp", again just saying Imps are little and "things" to be posessed

Dismissing Blitzø when he tries to get serious, just saying he is cute even though Blitzø is trying to complain

Also the constant cheek pinching, something youd mostly do to a child.

And dont forget the most posessive thing of all of them to say in "Truth Seekers"

"Who dares to threaten my impish little plaything?" (youtube didnt pick up the audio here so no automatic subtitles appeared (holy shit im so thankful season 2 finally has proper subtitles!))

Stolas literally called Blitzø HIS "plaything", also pointing out the Imp part again.

Id say something like "oh but that was probably just before he got feelings for Blitzø! And then it changed!" I mean even if that was the case it wouldnt make it any better. But no, Stolas literally had a crush on Blitzø the first time he SAW him! Look, this is his literal first reaction:

Stolas always had feelings for Blitzø, but still he keeps downplaying Blitzøs feelings and totally ignores the class thing. Because he himself is already in a higher class! So he can just pick and choose which Imp he respects and which he doesnt.

Worst of all of this is that as a child Stolas was a LOT more open about those things!

Until his father "corrects" him

And Stolas rememberd this statement until his aduldhood. The only exeption he makes to this rule is Blitzø.

And Blitzø of course notices those things. Of course he notices the constant dismiss of Stolas! Being called a "Plaything" and a "little imp!" He is already self conscious enough. And that makes him even more vunerable and hyper aware of those things.

Even though Stolas showed general intersted in him someties, Blitzø already accepted himself as his little tool.

Moxxie even brings it up to Blitzø, obviously playing to Stolas feelings for him.

But Blitzø immediately thinks its still just about something sexual. And nothing else.

Because he cant see himself being anything else to Stolas than just a plaything. It doesnt matter how often Stolas was honest with him and showed interest. His constant belitteling and downplaying on him and also any other Imp that happens to be present while Blitzø is with him is enough.

With ALL of that context, its totally clear why Blitzø lashed out at Stolas in Full Moon. For him this confession came out of nowhere. He didnt have time to breathe or understand what was really going on there. And Stolas himself keeps ignoring their class difference and has 0 self reflection on that part so far, not getting why this is so upsetting to Blitzø.

"Blitzø, I think so very highly of you. I didnt realize you think so low of me!"

GEE STOLAS! I WONDER WHY BLITZØ DOES SO!

Some Keisuke Baji Facts (Not headcanons)...

I got into the Tokyo Revengers fandom right after watching the 1st season of the anime and from there I started reading the manga until I got caught up with it. Now, I'm up-to-date with everything related to Tokrev, even the spin-off manga as well...

Now, I have an issue with how people interpret Baji's character and how they portray him in fanfics or headcanon posts. I know you can have your own headcanons, but there's also a thing called facts or being canonically accurate. Most people interpret Baji as:

Keisuke Baji is an idiot, a literal moron.

Keisuke Baji is reckless, restless, always causing havoc, always seeking fun and adventure; in short, an energetic thrill seeker/troublemaker.

Well, that's far from what people think about Baji...

Baji's NOT an idiot

You can't call Baji an idiot just because he isn't academically smart or doesn't get passing grades in school. Sure, he's stupid when it comes to his studies, but other than that, he's really smart and highly intellectual in every other aspect. Moreover, Chifuyu's the one who's a moron here. In many fanfics and headcanon posts, I saw people writing about how dumb Baji is and how smart Chifuyu is and then talking about how Chifuyu guides/helps Baji to understand things or solve problems. And I'm like huh?!?! Have you not read the spin-off manga yet??? (Btw, the spin-off manga is CANON since it's been made under Ken Wakui sensei's supervision and he's heavily involved with the project...)

The whole manga is about what a big dumbass Chifuyu is and how smart, intellectual, and level-headed Baji is. Heck, Chifuyu's so stupid that this is what Baji has to say about him -

So, yeah...

CHIFUYU is the moron here, NOT Baji.

Also...

Baji's NOT an adrenaline junkie

I'm not gonna share pictures for that as proof. Instead, I'll just add the links to the sites where you can read the spin-off manga. I'll say it again - Baji's NOT some reckless, restless dude who loves causing havoc/chaos any time and every time he feels like it (unlike Hanma, Smiley, or anyone batshit crazy we know from this series). Throughout the story, Baji is shown to be quite mature and sensible as a person and also as a leader. He's more responsible, wiser, and more rational than everyone around him. Sure he gets very energetic and excited when fighting other delinquents, but other than that, he's just a simple guy going on with his everyday life. I understand why people think of him like that since this is literally what wiki tells us -

But he's more than just that...

Instead in the spin-off, Baji is portrayed as a calm, collected, and composed individual in each and every scene he appears, while Chifuyu and Ryusei are the ones shown to be more chaotic in nature who love getting into trouble at every opportunity they get. Also, Baji doesn't speak too much and always observes things around him quietly from the sideline, meaning unlike others, he's pretty observant. He's never once shown to be causing problems for others, but rather, he's the one solving the issues that others cause around him, meaning he's a dependable and attentive person (just like Draken). Not only is he calm and composed, but he also immediately figures out any situation in front of him and then confidently gives orders to the others; just reading the spin-off manga will make you realize how effective Baji is as a leader/1st division captain. And, in that episode (season 1, episode 14) where Mikey tells Takemichi that Baji punches people for no apparent reason, yeah, there's actually a reason why Baji does that and such a thing happened only ONCE in his lifetime (Go read chapter 9 of the spin-off manga and you'll also understand why Baji did that). Also, this is Mikey we're talking about; do you really think he'll give us the correct info? He just dropped that info without any context, and no wonder why Takemichi went like "WTF?" after hearing that about Baji... Anyway, Baji's more like Draken in a way, so to speak, and that's why he and Draken get along really well.

No wonder Baji's spending his birthday afternoon with Draken instead of spending it with Mikey or Chifuyu...

So, in short, Baji is:

Not some rowdy, adrenaline junkie like Hanma or Smiley.

An attentive, compassionate, and dependable leader.

Confident while giving out his orders.

A calm, composed, and observant individual.

Very smart and highly intellectual.

Cautious and doesn't cause trouble to others.

Actually one of the most mature ones in the group besides Draken and Mitsuya.

Baji loves fun and adventure from time to time, sure, but he's NOT an idiotic troublemaker.

Under the cut, I'll explain all the different canon personalities and relationships of my TFormers sona/OC, Jumpace, aka Jumpy. It (Samurai Jack voice) jump good. It/Its pronouns. Contains spoilers for TFA, CBV and some ES. (Those are in order, so if you wanna avoid some spoilers, they're the last 3 besides Skybound).

Every Jumpace can jump good and do Rider kicks and such. It jumps so high it could punch a Seeker from out of the clouds. This ability makes up for his lack of flight (minus the two universe's where it can fly). Here are visual references. G1 CARTOON.

Alt mode: Sand rail/buggy thing. Weapons: Drill, blasters, its kicking. Kind of your average G1 snarky Decepticon. Sparkmates with Starscream, but during mid-Season 2, he and Starscream have a huge fight (cos now Starscream is getting too ridiculous and selfish) so divorce. Jumpace becomes neutral for a while, but then Cliffjumper notices him and takes in the 'Decepticon prisoner' but a lot happens and Jumpace becomes an Autobot. It then develops a hero complex and believes it must make up for all his sins. Falls for Skyfire.

Decepticon relationships: Liked to hang with Skywarp and Thundercracker, and play pranks with Rumble and Frenzy. Dated Starscream for a very long time. Thundercracker was very "UGH, a GROUNDER whats WRONG with you Screamer" for a while though. Autobot relationships: Likes to spend time with Carly, Beachcomber, Sideswipe and Wheeljack. Cliffjumper is forever suspicious about Jumpace, but they eventually form a sibling bond. Tracks and Sunstreaker dislike Jumpace because of how muddy/sandy it can get. Eventually gets with Skyfire, which is going to be huge once Starscream notices BOTH HIS EXES DATING.

I have an AU where there's peace and the skystars and Jumpace can all date. skyjumpstar. In G1 canon, Jumpace is killed by Starscream in-between the gap of S2 and Movie, so he doesn't exist in the JPN G1 timeline.

GALAXY FORCE.

Alt mode: Some kind of flying machine (jet?) I would love an Armada/Micron Legend Jumpace, but if Starscream had a partner from the start, the show wouldn't last long and Starscream would have less problems. So, in both Galaxy Force (its own universe) and Cybertron (Unicron Trilogy), Jumpace can exist. He is an ancient Decepticon like Thunderblast, revived by Starscream. While he has a cocky attitude, Jumpace is crazy devoted to Starscream, similar to Thunderblast's affection for Megatron. That's all I got, really.

ANIMATED.

Alt mode: Mini Cooper. Weapons: Instead of stingers like Bee, drills in servos. Detachable back rails to use as...idk, batons? This Jumpace is a nyehehe villain, coming into play mid-Season 2 when it crashes onto Earth after being separated from Screamy for so long! See, back pre-plot, Starscream was forced to train this new grounder recruit (UGH) but somehow (dw it makes sense in my Documents) they got closer and are a couple ("You should be honoured to court such a fine bot like myself!"). At one point, the jumpstar (ship name) went on their own mission without per-mission (haha) and discover a Space Bridge. Jumpace activates it but it goes haywire, sending Jumpace halfway across the galaxy, with the space bridge deactivating for good. Jumpy ends up in Trypticon Prison for YEARS and made a few escape attempts, but eventually does succeed, steals a ship and ends up on Earth. Starscream finds him and the two are like... !?!?!?!?!?? And end up (grossly) lovey-dovey for like, a week ("Huh I wonder why we haven't seen Starscream since those two clones") and then they get back to their original relationship: Cartoony slapstick couple. Like, funny arguments only to make out? Does this make sense to anyone? They do genuinely care but they're also both selfish.

Though, when Jumpace can't feel the warmth of Starscream's spark, its like "YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DIED? YOU IDIOT" (STARTS TO BEAT HIM UP). <-Again, cartoony slapstick. Please don't label this as abuse. Also, Jumpace has trauma from being confined and space bridges! I don't agree with most of Season 4's would-be plots, but my idea for Starscream revival is this; Slipstream approaches Jumpace and Starscream's shell, and Jumpace literally begs (rarity for it) Slipstream to give STSC a piece of Allspark Fragment, and in return, Slipstream doesn't have to follow Starscream's orders, she can be her own bot! Just please! And well, Starscream real and Slipstream flies off to do her own thing.

Relationships: If you know the Starscream clones, I'm sure you can expect their attitudes towards Jumpace. Thundercracker's ego makes him think he's better suited to be Jumpace's partner. Sunstorm is a suck-up. Ramjet lies, you know the dealio. I'm not sure how, but I want Jumpace to meet Blackarachnia and fall for her charms to do her bidding. Jumpace hates any and all Elite Guard and obviously Autobots, but mostly Elite Guard. Makes fun of Masterson a lot. I do want him to have fun interactions with the Autobots, and have a bit of a soft spot for Ratchet after he healed it.

Oh! I have a Shattered Glass version for TFA Jumpy! Basically "wow my hero!" at Starscream who's like ":)??" about it.

CYBERVERSE.

Alt mode: Once Cybertronian grounded vehicle, then fucked-up part Seeker thanks to Shockwave's fixer upper. <-Similar to Shadow Striker's ordeal, basically Jumpace needed medical attention and instead got SHOCKWAVE'D. Weapons: 'Drill Missile', Blasters.

This Jumpy...is a no-brained puppydog-like devotee to Starscream. Like, Galaxy Force Jumpy with the flying alt mode and devotion, but more rose-tinted shades Up to 11 and ":3!" moods. Happily does whatever Starscream says, clings to him, etc (a big ego booster for Starscream for sure!). But during Starscream's "the ancients say I should kill everyone :D" moment, Jumpy gets scared, especially during the Allspark fuckery of killing the Seekers. Starscream promises that Jumpace will be the last to go into the Allspark, but luckily the Autobots come in and save the day.

Eventually, the whole 'killing everyone' thing and eventually Judge Starscream freaked out Jumpy, so it became mute for a while after Starscream was out of the picture. It stuck with Clobber and became an Autobot like she did. She would try her best to get Jumpy to socialise with others like Hot Rod, and Jumpy would express emotion, but grew unable to talk. However, it took a glance at...JETFIRE, DOING SUCH AN ELEGANT AND AMAZING HEROIC POSE!! Jumpy became fascinated with this Autobot, how... stunning! It was just staring and Jetfire was like "Oh! Hello there!" and... Jumpy became a puppydog again but less so this time, because he wouldn't do things with no brain, he'd actually instead just ask "May I help you with xy?" oh, he also managed to speak again. Because its in looooooove. That's right, skyjump real.

Relationships: Good pals with Thundercracker (rip) and Clobber! Use to be best buds with Whirl before the war. Sparkmates with Starscream before THAT happened. Ends up with Jetfire. (Who, btw, I wouldn't mind if he was also dating Sky-Byte post-war). Jumpace wanted to get along with Shadow Striker, especially due to their similar circumstances, but Shadow Striker only got softer for Jumpace closer to series end. (And yes, I like to picture safe skyjumpstar here as well).

EARTHSPARK.

Alt mode: Modern dune buggy. Weapons: Batons, its fists and kicks <-More of a brawler type here. So, Jumpy here felt bad for Starscream due to Megatron's beatings but also admired his intensity, so during the war (back on Cybertron) he would bug him constantly like "are you okay?" and also "can you teach me to fight better" as a way to help Screamer, but also just wanting to be closer with him. I addressed this better in my fanfic but I'm lazy to double check. He starts of warm and naive at first in the Decepticons, then a cocky fighter, similar development to TFA Jumpace. But they get together, but Starscream kept it secret for a while because he didn't want to be seen as weak for 1. having a sparkmate and 2. courting a GROUNDER.

My plot with him was that during the war on Earth, he 'died', causing Starscream distress before he 'moved on', so when they reunite, (my fic was set before Season 2 but after Season 1) Starscream is angry-confused because oh surely this means Jumpace LIED and is A TRAITOR (Okay, Starscream). Spoilers for fic if anyone cares, but after much commotion and Malto help, they get back together.

Essentially, thanks to being taken in by a human (as a regular car), Jumpace engaged in many hero shows and started to mimic their poses and even yells "TRANSFORM" when transforming. (Nerd). It is also fascinated with bugs and arachnids, so you bet your sweet bippy it's obsessed with Insecticons and organic bugs. It's a soft side of ES!Jumpy.

But Jumpace hates harming young ones, Cybertronian or other. So if it sees what Starscream did to Spitfire and Aftermath, it will FREAK OUT. It's probs with Shockwave and the others around that point, but holy Hell. Also, Spitfire having similar colours to Jumpace kills me a bit but she's still so fucking awesome I LOVE YOU SPITFIRE.

Relationships: Starscream. But who knows how long that will last considering Season 2? She's so hot but god dammit I SPECIFICALLY HAD JUMPACE NOT WANTING TO HARM KIDS. Oh, I also had him develop a sort of 'bond' with Thrash Malto, but later realises that Jumpy will have to betray the Maltos at some point. Hey, Jumpy doesn't like physically harming them, so betrayal is fine, right? It doesn't like Megatron all too much, feels offended about him 'joining the Autobots'. Acts like its better than Nova Storm and Skywarp, but likes them. Likes to brawl with Hardtop. Oh! And despite him not really...existing except that tiny bit in Earthspark, Jumpace is Cliffjumper's brother! Aha! Callback to G1 where I said they grow a sibling relationship, except this time they're on different sides! I want them to be sibs in other universes too, but I would need to actually engage in those universes. Other than Skybound, I'm not touching any more Transformers for a while. Speaking of...

SKYBOUND.

Basically G1 Jumpace. However, my options are either 1. Killed in Cliffjumper's clan. 2. Wasn't activated on the Ark 3. WAS activated, but because of Starscream's...yeah, disaster unfolds. And might switch to Autobot? It's hard to say, but the possibilities are so interesting! So, if you read all this, or part of it, what do you think? I hope all the Jumpys sound 'right', considering they're all different but contain similar elements. I didn't included JPN G1 cos Jumpy dead. Beast Wars because that's Beast Wars. Anything else I simply haven't engaged in yet. (I mean I read a lot of the Marvel Comics run but that's A LOT to think about). But I hope it sounds like a genuine Transformers character.

Unrelated, TF GOGO Jumpy would be so cute. And if Jumpace was a BotBot, he's be Jumpaxle (tech deck skateboard).

Why Background Humans should point out I.M.P.

Today I'm going to be discussing why I believe the humans that aren't notable characters in Helluva Boss should be able to point out I.M.P and why it doesn't make sense to me that they don't. Anywho let's get started.

Throughout Helluva Boss, Blitzo, Millie, Moxxie, and sometimes Loona travel to possibly many locations on Earth throughout the first and possibly the second season of the series to kill certain people. However, throughout said series, the humans in the background barely recognize the demons for what they are, demons. I've discussed this a couple of times in my past questions as to why humans are pretty dumb in Helluva Boss and as to how come they never really recognize I.M.P. In order to prevent the demons from being found out they're usually identified by other creatures, for example, Moxxie being called a Possum in Spring Broken by one of the drunk adults. Yeah, it's hah hah funny, but compared to certain humans they don't identify the demons as animals or any other creature that's on Earth. They identify the Imps and a Hellhound as demons, nothing more nothing less.

People compare this situation to Invader Zim and I'm gonna compare how Invader Zim handles it differently and somehow handles it better than Helluva Boss.

Invader Zim Comparison

People compare Helluva Boss to Invader Zim mainly the "Humans are oblivious to the MC's true appearance and race". I'm gonna discuss why Invader Zim's works and why Helluva Boss doesn't really work most of the time.

First off, Zim has a human disguise and he's in this disguise most of the time whenever he's outside his own home. His appearance damn near matches that of the appearance of humans (mainly due to the same art style) with the only difference between him and them being that Zim has green skin. This can pretty much be easily dismissed as a unique skin color or rare disease.

Second off, Zim doesn't look like a typical alien at least not how humans view aliens. When we think of Aliens..we usually think of how movies or other forms of media portray aliens, we don't truly know what an alien looks like. Zim looks more like a giant bug creature than an actual alien if I'm being honest.

Third off, Invader Zim mainly takes place in one setting and Zim in his human disguise is playing as a child. So adults would most likely ignore him and children wouldn't be aware of what Zim is because they are children. The only child that's aware that Zim is an Alien is Dib and he's obsessed with paranormal stuff. However people dismiss Dib as insane which is pretty understandable.

Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie only wore human disguises or any other type of disguise once, which was in C.H.E.R.U.B and Blitzo was the only one who wore a disguise in Seeing Stars. Aside from those two episodes they never wore any form of disguise ever again, exposing themselves for the world to see nonstop.

Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie look like demons. They have red skin, pointy tails, and curved horns, and are small or tall in height. While humans probably wouldn't know what exact demon they are, they should be aware that Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie are demons because that's how demons mainly look and are portrayed in media.

And lastly, I.M.P travels to many locations likely all around Earth. They need to travel to certain places so that they can kill who their clients want them to kill. So there should be at least one person aside from the person they are killing who should be able to recognize what I.M.P are.

It's weird that the cartoon made for kids handled this aspect better and has more logic behind it than the cartoon that's targeted for a mature audience. But I'm well aware that kids watch Helluva Boss too.

Plot Convenience

The main reason why certain humans in Helluva Boss recognize I.M.P. is that it drives the plot forward. If the DHORKS Organization wasn't aware of what I.M.P is then there wouldn't be Truth Seekers and if Martha and her family weren't aware of what Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie were then Murder Family would be really short.

But this raises problems within the series. It's telling me that the DHORKS Organization were suspicious of what Moxxie, Millie, Blitzo, and Loona are but literally most of the residents of LA that encountered them were not. Hell an entire group of people mistook Blitzo for some famous sitcom actor even though he just had the attire, the hair, and the big ass ears. Yeah, they have a similar body type, but the red and white skin, off-colored eyes, pointy demonic tails, and horns that are literally out in the open. How in the world did nobody notice any of those features?

An entire beach full of young adults somehow couldn't identify what Moxxie, Millie, and Blitzo were, the numerous bodies in trash bags behind them, or the fact that they were killing out in the open. But somehow they were able to identify the giant fucking mutated Kaiju Fish and run away in fear. That doesn't make much sense to me.

Cannibalistic Serial Killers are aware of what Moxxie, Millie, and Blitzo are. They don't know their exact race probably, but they know that they're demons regardless likely due to the fact that they're Satanists.

People dismiss this by saying "Oh they're in LA, they think they're in costumes and stuff" or "Humans are just dumb like that". Yeah, they're decent reasons, but when certain human characters recognize them quickly after encountering or even looking at them, how come the background characters do not?

Conclusion

Anyway, thank you all for reading and I hope you all have a great day!

Dungeon Meshi Anime Season 1, Episode 1 Review

Spoilers for season 1, episode 1 of the anime below the cut!

I watched both the English sub with Japanese audio, and the English dub, on Netflix.

I think overall it's very good, has a good tempo and doesn't mess with the pacing or characterization in any major way, very faithful to the manga. I think there could have been SOME improvements or adjustments made, but I'm not at all surprised that it didn't happen, making 1:1 extremely faithful manga adaptations seems to have become the norm lately.

On the plus side, that means that if this current level of quality continues, that the anime will always be at least as good as the manga... which is already very good! So that's great.

But on the negative side, that means it won't ever be better than the manga, and that makes me a little sad, because I think an anime adaptation of Dungeon Meshi could absolutely surpass the manga, if they were willing to take some risks, and with Ryoko Kui's guiding hand. Anyway.

Love the OP song, love it's old timey tavern feel and that it's not a straight up jpop or jrock song. Soundtrack music was really nice. Animation was great.

Love that they show a closeup of Falin's open eyes in the OP so we'll know.... ;3 later

Things that I didn't like as much:

Almost all the background text is in Japanese when it wasn't in the manga. Kui often used glyphs or scribbles to indicate that things aren't in English or Japanese.... but they're just using Japanese as far as I can tell.

Netflix America doesn't translate most of it either. They also don't put in the English logo on the opening even though they have it on the show homepage... Don't know if they'll fix it later.

Personally, I think it would also be fine if all the releases had the background in-universe text appear in the target language so the implication is "this is in the viewer's language, whatever that is, but that isn't the actual fantasy language being used in-universe". But I doubt this will happen.

And there is SOME text in glyphs! The dungeon gourmet book isn't in a real language when it's shown... I think it's just laziness. I would honestly very much prefer nonsense text in a variety of languages than this.

In the Japanese I genuinely thought Laios was providing the narration, so I was totally taken aback when there was a different narrator in English.... and I honestly liked it a LOT better when I thought Laios was narrating, it felt really natural and good! So sad that it isn't actually what's happening. Don't really like the slightly snarky David Attenborough style nature commentary narrator. Feels weird and jarring at times.

Subtitles are fine, but there's some things that are randomly different for no good reason, subs say Senshi means "researcher" and dub says "seeker" and.... Senshi doesn't have a mouth, you don't need to match his dialogue to mouth-flaps, you can make him say ANYTHING you want so why have it be different?

There's some dub script choices I REALLY hated and am probably going to die mad about lmao:

Marcille saying that their "inventory" was wiped out, like they're in a video game, calling the scared adventurers "newbs" like they're in a video game, saying "as if" like she's a 90's California girl.

Senshi saying "delish" instead of "delicious" . There's no mouth flaps, why shorten it to a modern slang term that feels unnatural?

Laios also says "geez" which is short for "jesus" so they could have picked literally anything else for him to say, I'm sure the Japanese was probably "mattaku" which just means "Really?" (too lazy to confirm this lol)

Chilchuck says "god" and you could just have him... not say that. Or say "gods" because there's multiple gods in Dungeon Meshi.

Those were my major thoughts so far. Overall thought it was great and I enjoyed it! Looking forward to more!

It's not perfect, but I have seen much, much, MUCH worse adaptations lmao so I'm excited for when they get to some of the more dynamic action scenes in the second half of the manga.

Rating the Celestial Beings from LMK Based on How They’d Babysit Your Kid

Fandom: Lego Monkie Kid

Characters: Monkey King, Nezha, and Chang’e

TW: nothing but fluff! ☁️

Genre: Implied platonic relationships 

Extra: I’ve been most excited for this list since it has some of the most iconic characters in the show. But small problem… I haven’t seen season 4 yet… so that means Nezha and Chang’e might not be totally accurate since I haven’t seen if they get more characterization in season 4. Hopefully that isn’t an issue! Anyways let’s continue with the list down below ⬇️

Monkey King:

Monkey King would be happy to help you out by babysitting, and also SUPER overconfident. After all, what kid wouldn’t want to hang out with the legendary Sun Wukong? 🤩 

He’d also be a little bit nervous, but either he’d be too prideful to show it or more self assured than nervous. It all depends on the situation.

You’d have to drop your kid off at Flower Fruit Mountain, which would be hard to get to… and even if he met you somewhere and took your kid to Flower Fruit Mountain himself, you’d still have to go pick them up.

If your kid does somehow make it through the trip to Flower Fruit Mountain they’ll have a multitude of places to play. After all, it’s a big island with a lot of cool locations to explore!

Monkey King has only two types of food on the island. Peaches, and peach chips. Hopefully your kid likes those-

Despite being irresponsible at times, your kid will be 100% safe due to Wukongs powers.

Wukong is such an attention seeker, but because of this he’d be great at entertaining your kid! He could show them some basic training moves, let them explore the island, play with them using his powers, and so much more. (Anything to make them think he’s just the coolest dude ever)

I get the impression that he would interact with your kid the same way he interacts with MK. Lazy, teasing, warm and protective. 

I can’t see why he wouldn’t be a good babysitter in all honesty. He has a personality kids would be drawn to, and literally nothing would be able to harm your kid when they’re with Monkey King. And he lives in such a cool place! I refuse to believe your kid would be bored with all the animals and hidden temple stuff. My only complaints are about the transportation and food situation… how do you plan to drop off or pick up your kid? I mean I’m sure you could find some work arounds, but it sounds like such a hassle. And we’ve only ever seen Wukong eat peaches and peach flavored chips while on the island, which leads me to believe there isn’t much else there to eat. But you could argue we only see him eating the same type of food because he’s a picky eater, and that there’s other type of food elsewhere on the island, so I’m not deducting too many points for that. Overall he’s getting a 8.6/10!

Nezha:

I’ve been doing some research on the lmk characters recently, mainly the celestial beings, to understand the Journey to the West better. While digging around I learned that in China it’s commonly believed that Nezha was a patron god to children and teenagers. No wonder he’s so patient with MK! I think it’s safe to say he knows how to deal with kids

You won’t have to worry about Nezha slacking off, if anything he’d take his job SUPER seriously. 

Though, I can see this being a problem for some kids considering children usually hate serious adults.

He’ll have to take your kid out to town since taking kids to heaven to hang out is probably a no go. 

I’m not sure how well versed Nezha is in the modern world, so he might need some help figuring out certain things. Which, let’s all be honest, would make for a hilarious comic! Wouldn’t you agree Tumblr Artists? Hint hint wink wink 

Based on his mythology, I can totally see him having a soft spot for kids. Nezha would probably give even the most rebellious kids the benefit of the doubt because, in his eyes, they still have a lot of growing up to do. 

If they’re fans of Monkey King he’s going to be so mad XD 

He probably won’t have much of a plan for the babysitting session, and will rely on your kid to decide what they want to do (though, their options might be limited if you don’t give Nezha some money)

If Nezha is in a good mood, and if your kid is convincing enough, he might even show off his awesome fire wheels. Don’t worry, he’ll be sure to take them a safe distance away from the city

Nezha is amazing, and he totally has this in the bag! He’s got his mythology, patience, and powers working in his favor. He might be a bit out of touch with the modern human world, and some kids might hate him for being super serious, but both of these things are fairly navigable. As long as you give them enough money for lunch, everything will be fine. That being said, because of his limited knowledge and his unlikeliness to his powers if he deems it too risky, most kids might find him a bit boring… I’m going to have to deduct some points for that sadly TvT. 8.6/10! 🩷 

Chang’e

I feel like Chang’e would be SUPER excited to babysit, but I’m just guessing based off of her overall cheerful attitude.

Unlike Nezha and Wukong, Chang’e would be able to babysit your kid at her place or out on the town. This is because she probably knows at least a little about mortal customs considering she has a phone (which is good considering not many people can go to the FLIPPING MOON)

If she babysat at her place she could teach your kid some new recipes, show them her bunny robots, and so much more!

Because she has a phone an a TV show, I’d say she’s fairly adapt with how the human world works. She’d have no trouble fitting in with mortals if you’d prefer her babysitting on earth

Chang’e totally packed homemade lunches that are both nutritious and delicious. She’d also bring at least one sweet snack for later on as a reward of sorts.

Chang’e has shown that she’s willing to hear people despite misunderstandings or previous mistakes, which is an incredibly useful talent when dealing with kids.

Honestly? She hasn’t been in enough episodes for there to be any MAJOR negatives I can call out. In fact, she seems perfect! Unlike the others on this list, she can be flexible with where she babysits. And she has a naturally cheerful demeanor, which most kids would absolutely adore. Also there’s no way your kid is going hungry! Because of this I am happy to say that Chang’e, the underrated queen, is the second character in this series to get a 10/10! WOOOHOOO 👑🍜

[Wow that took way longer than expected. Sorry for the wait! But while I still have you here, who should I rate next? The spider gang or the demon bull family?]

[ms-cartoon]

Hello There!! :) Sorry to bother you but I just wanted to let you know that some leaks for future episodes of Helluva Boss, for EP 6 And 12 were just leaked on 4Chan and I wanted to know your thoughts if you saw them. I've seen them myself..and I've gotta say, this just made me more annoyed and made me just wanna avoid the show even more, it's so damn predictable and it's just more proof that the show refuses to put Stolas in the wrong and call him out on what he's done and make us feel bad for him, and he's just nothing but this "UWU baby. 😒🤦‍♀️ It's just so frustrating, I REALLY don't see this show getting any better and seeing these animatics for the future episodes of the season just proves my point.

Heck, sometimes I'm even wondering why HB needed to be made, yes it was obviously made to keep fans invested and entertained until Hazbin's arrival but this spinoff has just been a mess and all over the place, and relys on shipping to get the fans entertained + I feel like a spinoff should be able to stand on it's own without connecting to the show it's based on, ya know? It also just feels Viv isn't as passionate about HB as she is with HH, like HB the more I think about it, just feels like nothing but a cash grab and just there to keep fans invested, and it'd working since the fans will eat up anything from Viv. I'm not saying Viv and her team aren't passionate and hard work is shown with the Animation + Voice Acting, but everything else, especially the writing..isn't very good. Idk man, I just feel like HB is just a cash crab and such, at least with HH it has so much potential and something going for it and seems like a story Viv actually WANTS To tell and explore, which I hope it delivers. 🤞💙 But with HB, it's just all over the place and it went from a comedy show about assassin Imps to a romantic yaoi fanfic show, it's facts. I thought this show was called, "Helluva Boss" not "The Stolitz Show"/"The Stolas Show" This show just feels like a fanfiction and all it's emotional scenes feel emotionally manipulative too and just not earned, they're just there to make you feel for the characters. For example, remember how in EP 6 (Truth Seekers) It seems Blitz was gonna change for the better and try treating Moxxie better and stop being an asshole? Well, the next episode just completely throws Blitz "Depth" right out of the window and he goes back to his same ways and WE are apparently supposed to feel back for him, especially at the end of that episode..but I don't, because he did that to himself.

And while yes, it takes time for a character to grow and change, they still try putting effort in the process when it comes to redeeming and trying to better themselves and you slowly see them grow as time goes on, even if they slip up at times and it isn't easy. But with Blitz, it's like Viv and the writers completely forgot about the last episode, and his and Moxxie's so called "heart to heart" moment and just had him to continue being the same unlikeable, loud, annoying, creepy Boss that he's always been since the Pilot, and had him stalk his employees (ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY, BTW) just because it's funny.

(Let's not forget that HB pretty much spoiled HH and it's premise when it comes to Charlie's goal to redeem demons and help them get to Heaven. But it just seems pointless and just reckons HH, since Heaven is revealed to be just as bad Hell and it just makes Charlie's goal useless, tbh. Though, I like to pretend the C.H.E.R.B. EP doesn't exist, Lol.)

(I've mentioned beforehand that I really do use to enjoy and like the show a lot and was a fan, but things started to take a turn sometime after EP 3, where it went downhill for me and I saw a drop in quality. I rewatched the show and saw in-depth posts on here and just realized how bad some things are in the show and just how flawed it really was. I mean, when being a fan, I didn't really pay attention and just saw on flawed it was, plus I also stopped watching and left because of it's toxic and horrible fandom and how they attack and harass you if you say one negative thing on the show or their favorite ships, and say you're homophobic..which is ridiculous and just so sad, especially when some of these fans are adults, almost close to their 30's and yet act like children when not everyone blindly praises the show like they (and the majority of the fandom) do.)

Yes!! I have seen the leaks. Just now after you mentioned them. (I'm surprised it wasn't that hard to find them).

Honestly, Stolas existing as a character hardcore irks me at this point. Not gonna lie, lol! Just knowing this show is going to try its hardest to have us pity him or Blitzo, even when they don't even deserve it, frustrates me. For real!

I'm not gonna spill a drip of tea about the leaks, but from what I've seen so far (in some ways, in these specific scenes), let's just say it's similar to the last few episodes that were released. And if you read my rants, you'll know it'll be the same issues I've mentioned about this piece of crumbled mess we call a web show. At this point, I really am done with this show. Like, I'll still watch the show just to make fun of it, but my ratings for it will stay at an all-time LOW!

Yeah, I can pretty much tell from the first season that Viv's effort and determination for HB faltered completely and will probably never click again. It's no secret she's more invested in HH. I mean, it's fine if you wanna put more of your focus on the MAIN show you really wanted to release. It would actually make sense that her interest and effort for her spinoff fell drastically because she started paying more attention to HH (even if it is the main reason why it's terrible). I can tell at this point that she loves Hazbin Hotel a lot more than Helluva Boss (I mean, I do too. But that's not the point) However if you're going to make a spinoff just to keep your fans entertained enough to have patience for the big thing, at least put more effort in the plot and the potential the show could have. And I'm not just talking about the fans that will go ~~uwu gaga~~ or teary-eyed over everything that occurs in this mess as long as it keeps the ship going. I'm talking about the people that actually expect this show to make sense and have some good plot points!!

Pretty much all that you said is accurate! It can't be any more right than it already is.

For real, where the holy hell did the plot go!!?? What is the point of this show?? What lessons are being learned?? If there are any lessons learned, they should've been learned from the very beginning it became something serious instead of the characters going through the same repetitive sh*t only to not learn a damn thing. If I'm missing something, someone's gonna have to let me know! Cuz, my god! This show IS ALL OVER the place with its plot points! How are you gonna expect me to feel bad about any of these characters if they're never gonna learn their lesson? You can't just make a scene where they start to see the error of their ways and make it seem like they're going to try and change for the better only to completely forget about all that they learned (or are supposed to learn) just to act the same as they always been. Like, what was the point of that build-up? Where did all the potential go?? You mean to tell me all that was just some kind of filler episode that supposedly never happened???? NO! That's not how this works! You can't just do that??

It was supposed to be just a comedy. A sitcom about a bunch of assassins getting their job done. Fulfilling requests from every sinner to kill or get revenge on anybody in the living that did them wrong. We only had very few episodes containing that plot, only for it to turn into a drama and into a rom-com added with pointless drama so suddenly since episode 7.

And you raise a good point about the whole heaven thing. Charlie's goal just seems completely pointless since the cherub episode. In heaven, Angels are supposed to be seen as... well, the complete opposite of what the sinners and demons of hell are. We're supposed to see them as good people ( or angels?). The kind of people that do no wrong. Or probably have done some wrong but begged God for forgiveness so they earn their place in heaven (not really sure if it works like that. That's just based on my assumption and just seems to make sense). They could be considered really nice beings who hate committing felonies and only want to be good. But all we saw was a whole freakin' FACADE from the Cherubs!!! They just seemed sweet while only wanting to keep people alive. But later, they literally try to murder and fight these imps!! Cursing and even calling that old man sh*tty! Umm, WHAT?? Angels using bad words.... Is that even allowed?? Charlie wants to redeem every sinner... Okay, but what would be the point if they're just gonna act the same as they did in hell. They would just be keeping a whole facade to make themselves look good!

(What ever happened to those Cherubs after they got kicked out of heaven anyway?)

Yeah, Helluva Boss was enjoyable for a while. A short while actually. It wasn't perfect, but it was still enjoyable to watch. But unfortunately, it failed to be seen as one of the best shows I've seen. The plot is just not there anymore. The characters are terrible and fail at being characters. The jokes aren't even funny no more. They might as well be jokes for kids under 17 who just laugh at every single f bomb being dropped. The fans that do watch and enjoy this show might as well be a bunch of 12-year-olds if they don't even see one flaw it has. I'm sorry. But considering how toxic fans can get, I have every right to say this.

Happy WBW! Are there any givens from our world that don't apply in yours? (The laws of gravity, the water cycle, seasons, the hours in a day, day and night cycles, things like that!)

See we’re fine we survived okay WELCOME BACK TO XATAL!!

Specifically, the Ellyt’it system, third planet.

You want weird gravity?? Fucked up mushrooms?? BIG ANIMALS?? We GOT YOU.

That’s right, we’re talkin about Pruna. You know, where the friendly neighborhood murder mantises come from. Kuzco’s poison. That Pruna. (And her sisters.)

Pruna (PROO-nah) is one of four large moons (Pruna, Kyli, Deoss, and Riepra) orbiting the fuck-off hot gas giant, Yeggoum. While temps range from the delightfully low 568.4 degrees F to a balmy 1,355 degrees F on the blood-red and lilac planet itself, denizens that call Pruna home appreciate a much more reasonable range of -23 to 112 and nice, temperate seasonal change. What it lacks in foliage more interesting than its dry, twisted grass and bioluminescent moss, it makes up for with… uh… well, the giant kailit mushrooms are nice, as long as you don’t leave your government provided dwelling during spore season. That’s right folks! Socialized medicine and housing for everyone! And you’ll need it, too, the flora isn’t the only thing that gets big! :) Everything on this planet can and actively wants to murder you dead and/or eat you, not necessarily in that order. Ritzal, for example, are 12 feet in height — they’re the smallest of the native fauna. They have thumbs and you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Now Kyli (pronounced KAH-lee, not like the Kardashian), she’s a great destination for thrill seekers that aren’t afraid of signing a couple (36) liability waivers and acknowledgement at the docks that they only send out search parties when the storms are over, which could be a few hours orrrrr a few weeks. Two words: floating rocks. Not islands (though some chunks are just, unnecessarily large) but big, jagged bits of rock blown into the air during spontaneous plate-shifting events and stuck there because of fucked-up magnetic nonsense. You'll need an envirosuit to maintain aliveness in the ammonia-methane atmosphere and a fairly hefty oxygen tank if you're planning on exploring for longer than a quirky photo-op -- don't worry, though, it won't be too heavy with Kyli's gravity being around a third of Earth's! And you'll have great fun "rockhopping" -- it's exactly what it sounds like: using jump-jets to propel yourself from one floating rock to the next. There’s a catch, though. You cannot touch the ground. Why? Three times Earth's atmospheric pressure + constant risk of storms = ground winds that pack three times the kinetic punch, and with the lower gravity, those winds are also capable of carrying small rocks. If your feet touch land, you will, in essence, be shot by the wind. The floor is gun. Also, there's tar pits. Of cyanide. And soot clouds. Of cyanide. And lightning. Have fun! :)

Deoss and Riepra aren’t habitable or advisable to visit, BUT they do have a horseshoe orbit and I just think that’s neat.

Gabriel's Redemption

One thing I love about Good Omens is how it helps me learn about myself. How I react to certain characters—who I get defensive toward, who I take a strong aversion to, who I want to protect, who I admire—shows me what I see about myself in them.

Because the writing, especially the characterization, in both the show and book is so good, I tend to have strong emotional reactions to the characters. That makes them good tools for self-discovery, a kind of mirror for my own virtues and vices, foibles, and strengths.

As long as I’m being honest about myself and with myself.

Even my responses to Good Omens fan creations (pictures, comics, fan fiction, video animations, written and video essays) teach me about myself. For example, observing what types of works I seek out is instructive. What kind of searches am I doing for Good Omens content on fiction or video websites? Why might I be drawn to more edgy or sad videos this week, or more upbeat stories the next? How do these choices reflect or shape my mood?

I’ve been thinking lately about why I find Gabriel/Jim such a compelling character in the second season. I’ve been thinking about what about him I might see in myself, and about how his redemption arc might give me hope for my own.

I want to acknowledge here that many viewers reasonably argue that at best Gabriel experiences only a partial redemption in season 2. Yes, he declines to end earth and humanity a second time, and his love for Beelzebub shows him something more important than choosing sides, but he still never acknowledges or expresses regret for trying to kill Aziraphale or destroy creation the first time around. But then again, if absolute power corrupts absolutely, and if Gabriel, as the only first-order archangel in the universe, is one of the most powerful beings in the existence, then I’d say that, while he has an awful lot of corruption to overcome, he seems to have come a fairly long way in an impressively short time by the end of season 2. He’s an immortal being; I trust that love will continue to eat away at his arrogance and instill some humility into him with time. Love has a way of doing that to the heart.

Even before I watched season 2, I found myself drawn to fan fiction that portrayed what some is sometimes tagged as “soft Gabriel” or “nice Gabriel”: Gabriel has realized, through some combination plot devices, the error(s) of his ways and attempts (and sometimes succeeds) in redeeming himself.

The circumstances in these stories that lead to Gabriel’s change of heart are many and varied, ranging from the extremely dark (Aziraphale’s trauma over his treatment by Heaven causes him to become a sadistic revenge seeker who tortures and abuses his former boss) to the light and fluffy (Gabriel becomes a parent with Beelzebub and wants to learn what delights earth can offer their child).

In the TV series, of course, it is simply romantic love that leads Gabriel to renounce the end of creation. He never says so explicitly, but we’re left with the impression through the brilliantly written and acted romance montage—incredibly only about two minutes long yet utterly convincing—that as Gabriel becomes enamored of his demonic counterpart, so he comes to appreciate the earthly environment in which this happens. He comes to appreciate music, for example, when Beelzebub expresses her liking for “Everyday” by Buddy Holly. By the end of season 2, Gabriel seems to finally begin to have an inkling about why God so loves Her earth.

(But then, who am I kidding; since when is romantic love simple?)

The series also shows us a childlike Gabriel in the form of Jim, who is practically a tabula rasa. We see him—hilariously—come to appreciate even more earthly pleasures, like cocoa, using books as flyswatters (that never hurt any flies) and coming up with nonsensical book shelving systems.

In fan fiction, once Gabriel’s redemptive change in perspective is accomplished—through whatever plot development—he often expresses regret, contrition, humility, willingness to learn. In some cases (in stories in which the author breaks with “canon” and he does not end up with Beelzebub), he renounces his heavenly position, and sometimes even his celestial powers, in favor of “retiring” to earth to live among humans, to learn about and from them, and to do good among them.

Sometimes Gabriel shows up on the Crowley’s and Aziraphale’s doorstep (if they’re in their South Downs cottage) or at the bookstore or Crowley’s flat (if they have yet to confirm their couplehood) and requests that they teach him about the earth. In these narratives, he often poses a question: what was it about the earth and/or humanity that made them willing to risk death to save it? Gabriel’s redemption in these stories takes the form of him becoming a student of earth, essentially, with one or both main characters acting as his teachers and guides. He learns to listen openly and attentively to others’ views and ideas; he learns the affection, compassion, and love that is so lacking in heaven; he learns the wealth of sensory experiences that having a body affords him; he learns gratitude and mercy; he learns the difference between self-esteem and self-absorption.

The reason I am attracted to these Gabriel redemption stories, I think, is because I struggle at times with some of Gabriel’s faults myself. For instance, I don’t think anyone would argue against the statement that Gabriel comes off as incredibly arrogant and pleased with himself. And I can act very egotistical at times. For me, low self-esteem and arrogant behavior are often two sides of the same coin, at least for me; it’s at those times when I’m most insecure about my abilities or my body or my general worthiness that I can lash out as the most obnoxious snob. It’s a childish, destructive, confused attempt at self-protection: I’ll point out your flaws and reject you before you can do the same to me.

Maybe I identify with Gabriel’s arrogance, and wonder if his egotism might be caused by deeply hidden feelings of self-doubt. We see that precious little compassion, acceptance, tolerance, love, or even basic courtesy is offered to anyone in heaven. In season 2 episode 6, Gabriel himself, in what I feel is one of the saddest moments in the entire series, says to Beelzebub during one of their meetings in the pub, “No one’s ever given me anything before.” In just a few words, Gabriel presents a devastating picture of the barrenness, the emotional emptiness, the cruel neglect of his existence until that moment. In the complete absence of love, is it really any wonder, that Gabriel offers Aziraphale only fake smiles; empty compliments; subtle and not-so-subtle putdowns; constant interruptions; and, in the end, murderous rage toward Aziraphale? Rage and anger are signs of feelings of injury and injustice, and all beings feel those things when they’re deprived of love. And if we have no way of addressing and rectifying the hurts and injustices we’ve suffered—no then—again—we can end up lashing out at other people. That’s not an excuse, but it can be a cause and a reason.

Now one might argue that Aziraphale was treated with equal emotional neglect and abuse by heaven and ended up a kind, sweet and giving soul. But then, Aziraphale had the love, friendship, trust, and affirmation of one being in the world, a certain demon who adored him from the outset.

The genuine love—romantic love, familial love, platonic love—of a single being can shield and cushion us from believing the cruel messages others send us with cruel behavior and inattention. Even if everyone else around us has failed to treat us with the respect and care we need and deserve, that single being’s love can bolster our self-esteem, free us from self-hate, and teach us to love ourselves and others.

Gabriel’s redemption story proves this axiom in the world of Good Omens: Once he received Beelzebub’s love, he was able to show love: He acted to avert Armageddon and save creation; he was ready to sacrifice his authority and power in heaven to be with his love in hell.

I think I so enjoyed Gabriel’s redemption story in season 2, and continue to enjoy Gabriel redemption fan fiction, because in them I find hope of my own salvation and redemption. They offer me hope of overcoming my own faults and becoming a better, kinder, more selfless person. To some extent the history and contours of my own struggle toward emotional development mirror Gabriel’s origins story. If I can find compassion for him, I can find compassion for myself. And if he found the capacity and courage to change after one loving being came into his life, how much more hope is there for me who am blessed with—and should appreciate more—numerous family and friends who love me.

Channeled Angelic Wisdom of the Jewels of Truth Series on Sex Addicts and Jealousy

Hello All,

It's been a personal journey to reach this moment to blog here today, aside from today's duo of channeled angelic wisdom topics penned originally today as a 1st draft by longhand. (i.e., it typically takes me 2 hours for inspirational psychic automatic writing.) But, let me first digress before I go off on the "Jewels of Truth" tangent. 

The reason in part why I missed my blog entry for late January last month. Was because I was observing the 3rd anniversary of my mother's passing from complications due to Covid-19. I wasn't in a state of mind due to melancholy and for some reason, it hit me harder this time around. 

Also, a Happy Twofer of Holidays today February 14th for this year 2024. We get the celebration of St. Valentine's Day and also part of the Christian Lent season for Ash Wednesday today. So I consider it a twofer which is a very auspicious occurrence n'est-ce pas? (Isn't it so?)

Today is in part a day of romantics but in an existential sense, it is also for lovers of the divine or of God(dess) him/her/itself. As a metaphysical phenomenon where the love is unconditional based upon Agape the form of love that is spiritually of service be it brotherly or sisterly. 

The nameless selfless angel I channeled as a master of grace decided to surprise me with the topic. I do that sometimes as a spiritual-based psychic channeler via automatic writing. I allow the angel to choose the topics and thus today's topics seem noir for St. Valentine's Day. Not just an excuse for the merry happy loving fool-making abandonment of the gaiety of the joys of lovemaking. But, the consequences when predation of the vile human condition is also unwittingly present, unfortunately. 

So I leave you with a duo of topics on the dark side of lovemaking that turns sour into lust for sex addicts and jealousy itself. Courtesy by the narration of the angelic master. Without further adieu may your spiritual horizons be healthy and well guarded in peace always. Amen. 

Sex Addicts:

3291) The gaze of the forbidden love can become the gaze of the unlawful. What was once an innocent attraction soon becomes obsessively passionate whereby it overheats unto a grotesque wanton unbridled Lust through and through. 

The seeker is now the crazed hunter of a manifold of social ills that best serves no one but the deformed fallen soul from within. We the Heavenly Host do not ever condone such hateful longing for the diabolical flesh. That injures everything that is noble and heartfelt normal of the Holy Spirit within each of you that may have such reckless aims. 

The flesh can be a thing of pristine beauty when it is cherished rightly by a mutually dignified grace of courtship. Where there is honor and devotion with respect towards the other person without succumbing to petty and vile tendencies of domination. Whether this is in genuine love-making even if such an adoration is purely spiritual of higher orders of devotion to God itself for the pure of heart in life. 

To have a predatory yearning toward forbidden lust in an unconditional classical deranged manner. Denotes truly a broken aspect of your personality and function in the world at large. A psychological fragmentation that reeks of a shattered life in the making. By masking selfish tendencies eroding morality to the point that carnal pleasure supersedes common sense revealing a total meltdown of addiction. 

Seek not to be defiled by the hungry that know no peace of the forbidden lust of various types of people and even animals themselves such as beastality. Whether as incest with relatives that lends itself to rape towards pedophilia that shatters a young life before it ever had a chance to begin emotionally. When there is no consent granted and devoid of manipulations by grooming the potential victim to be your fodder. Turn away from such corruptions we the Heavenly Host implore you for the sanctity of your soul. 

Be not the destructive monster that upends the lives of others be they innocent and guilty alike. Allow for the first whispers of grace to become the shining light of mercy led by unconditional forgiveness to find relief. Otherwise, the cost of your insanity will be complete as deformed and impugned to no end in sight. Your freedom will be no more rather more a slave to such devices that wreck any semblance of righteousness from having a sway over you. 

Do not be so far gone that you give in to such animalistic tendencies that leave you more of a rotten creature than an actual person in life. Those who are into predatory dating as womanizers are one such class of players of mind games in the sexual throes of personal conquest over the other lover. Such men and lesbian women be forewarned you are the Bitch within seeking domination truly over yourself. It is just you project it outwards as a form of demented transference onto your many lovers. 

Destruction of the flesh can be with violence as in warfare and it can also be certainly under the sexual guise coupled with self-loathing as predators of the erotic flesh by various degrees of Hell on Earth. Please discipline yourselves for even the youth of the man who later becomes St. Augustine from antiquity. Led such a highly sexualized youth as a hedonistic party-goer until that too led to personal disgust and tragedy in his life. 

Be the wiser and grow away from a life of the famine of lust into a greater looming perpetual state of forgiveness beginning within yourselves from God. Give yourself permission not to destroy yourselves multiple times over and then spread your moral disease elsewhere let alone sexually transmitted infections to the unknown. Yield to the spark that gives life spiritually from within your soul and allow us the shepherds of the ancient gods known as the angels to lead you away with mercy and peace of mind and heart in life. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jealousy:

3292) Be not the fool that destroys that which he or she has cherished in a relationship all along in this life. The wanton yearning for complete control over your lover by means of smothering them with your insecurities. Lends itself to stupidity rather than willful surveillance that is based on mutual trust. Jealousy can upend years of progress akin to a dripping acid of doubts that corrodes everything it touches in your mindless thoughts. 

To burn the bushes of Jealousy denotes a childish demeanor of being a spoiled brat. Making unrealistic assertions that defy common sense and mutual respect of your adored person(s). Placing the doubting Thomas with untold jealousy as the tyrannical ruler, judge, and executioner of their lover. 

The cliche is solid when it is the idiot man who with bravado as a womanizer has an informal circle of lovers akin to a haram. Such is the grand seducer or the lady killer of the submissive woman that is tricked suspecting they are truly in a monogamous loving union. That when he feels betrayed by a female lover who shows tendencies like his own to circulate with other men throws an unsuspecting tantrum himself as a hypocrite. 

Spells a vile tendency to control which is otherwise meant to teach him a hard lesson for the sake of the divine by means of karma. Such a bull-headed bastard gets a taste of his own poison and thus reveals his chauvinistic misgivings regardless of just cause. 

All who listen deeply have unfortunately seen this occur elsewhere in discreet social circles. The womanizer will injure the guilty and innocent alike just to feed their ego-centric narcissistic wants for carnal power over submissive or unsuspecting women. The logical fair truth is easily damned with such a dwarfed emotionally disturbed man or lesbian. With disgusted outbursts for control through unjustified manipulation with a wreckless need for power that borders on the insane. 

Those unhinged men and lesbians as womanizers who deem themselves with sexist bravado. Can easily lead to animalistic if not eventual demonic whoredom worshipping their own conquests in the making. Their hapless lovers caught in such a bewildering loop are now trapped in a web of manipulation and lies that can lead easily to domestic violence. 

On the other hand, as there are poor examples of patriarchy there are also disturbed women akin to Black Widow Lovers. Controlling or attempting to control ever-widening circles of their associates and lovers be they men and woman alike bi-sexually. These ill-gotten gains make Machiavellian look like an amateur choir boy in the offing. 

All manner of social drama is the stage that such Black Widow lovers thrive upon as their fields of cherished power over the hoodwinked. Their downfall is to injure or compete against their egotistical superficial pride. Often some are only living by an outline of a strategy of dominance where random unsanctioned events trigger a maelstrom of revenge and conquest alike. When others suffer in their sabotaging ways they smile with bloodless abandon towards the point of sheer malevolence. 

The Fallen whom walk amongst you as a continual work of ruin becomes an ever-widening superhighway into perdition itself. What began innocently soon spirals out of your egotistical control. Instead of surrendering towards the bitter lessons of life learned. They deepen their despair to the point of cultivating corruption wherever they gaze upon that suits their supremacy for ill-gotten unholy power socially and holistically.

But, the spread of their lies isn't sufficient they must make themselves as narcissists to being the legitimate caregiver that helps their distressed victims. To subjugate the other unbeknownst to them in circumstances of their choosing to begin spooling deadly silk to choke the innocent life from their prey unwittingly. 

The more victims they absorb into their madness as long cast shadows become a sweet-tasting venom of their design. Such manipulated victims become further lost to the world isolated further into the embrace of the Black Spider Queen. Sacrificial pawns of one hapless kind towards another are her newfound minions to serve the Queen Bitch as her fodder. 

Whether they are hooked by ideological brainwashing or sheer blackmail makes no difference. The Jealousy of such a manipulator soon weaves are viral madness like an infection like no other. Their Tyranny is only ended as the viper is soon beheaded by the often stoic noble-hearted knight out in the world metaphorically speaking. 

So confess your mistakes and make amends gradually where permissible without injuring your once victims of yesterday, today again. The one that rules themselves alone versus throngs of idiots is far more powerful of a purveyor of justice in due time. That only God can ordain with integrity in life.

Yours is the choice ultimately to live by the pain of your lessons with social horrors. Or pursue the pleasure of godly wisdom that leads you towards Heaven on Earth within a lifetime. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

‘Ship Bias’ {{ Blitz }}

//I've given my biases for Blitz, so I'll talk about why I like one of them instead. M&M&B won the rng, which is pretty great because I haven't had the opportunity to explore how Blitz's feelings about them or how BPD interacts with & influences his attraction. I won't be covering Millie & Moxxie's side of things since I don't RP them. Additionally, I don't presume to speak on behalf of our cluster B brethren. Rather this is gleaned from experiences I've had with folks with BPD as well as experiences my BPD loved ones have kindly shared with me.

I don't think Blitz is in love with M&M the way they are with each other & I think it's for a combination of reasons. We see that Cash Buckzo is a vey negligent, manipulative, emotionally abusive person in season 2 episode 1, where Cash is willing to sell his own son. I can go on A Lot about Cash, but I won't here, because it's not relevant. The point is I doubt Barbie & Blitz's mother was spared Cash's mistreatment. Blitz's first & foremost example of love is already one of dysfunction. Then in season 2 episode 6, we see Cash give Fizzarolli a card saying he wishes Fizzarolli was his son instead of Blitz. Like, could you imagine how it would feel knowing a parent prefers someone you're interested in over you? I haven't been in the position but I imagine it would be painful & definitely set back some feelings I had for my romantic interest. Blitz's BPD would also influence his perception. I'll throw up a post about Blitz's BPD & how it's impacted his relationships someday but it's not as relevant to this post, so all I'll say on it now is that my experience with BPD folks has a marked presence of the fear of abandonment & unstable relationships as a result. I've seen it be especially prevalent in romantic relationships. For example, I have a friend with BPD who has purposefully nuked relationships by being a jackass since she figured they would leave her at some point anyway. This fear of Blitz's is expressed very clearly in season 1 episode 6 during Blitz's hallucination where "Moxxie" taunts him with his fear of being abandoned. The combination makes his understanding of love as something twisted, if it's even something he believes is possible.

But we have seen Blitz express interest in M&M on multiple occasions. We see in the pilot, season 1 episode 5, & in season 1 episode 7 that Blitz stalks them by breaking into their home & following them during their outings. We see in season 1 episode 2 that Blitzo is playing with dolls & starting a weird three-way thing with them, as well as expressing confusion about how Chaz was involved with both Millie & Moxxie in season 2 episode 3 when they're hotter than Chaz. So it's demonstrable that Blitz is attracted to M&M.

& like I won't pretend they don't have chemistry. I think it's most evident in Truth Seekers that M&M&B are in sync, get along well, & do care about each other.

Like, heir combat when they're busting outta the DHORKS's headquarter's is well-coordinated. That takes practice & understanding of each other's style & thought process. Shit like that doesn't happen overnight. Additionally, I grew up in a high-risk area. I've sacrificed my wellbeing for my loved ones the same way they have. It fosters comradery which we see throughout the episode.

Millie & Blitz have always been on good terms. We never really see them bicker the way Moxxie & Millie do. In Truth Seekers, Blitz checks on her after checking on his daughter, & they're pretty cheerful considering Millie was like a rabid mfing animal earlier in the episode.

But it's more than that. Blitz respects & cares about them. Blitz acknowledges M&M's talent in their profession when saying Millie could kill a roided out hippo, & during his & Moxxie's serious conversation after their trips, he tells Moxxie that they are good at killing, & tells Moxxie that they don't have to call him Sir. He's also real fucking astute to their wellbeing. Like, he tackles Moxxie before we even see the DHORKS agents exit the building they occupied to capture IMP. & it's why Moxxie appears in Blitz's hallucination & taunts him with the possibility of Blitz's shitty attitude chasing him & Millie off. Like... even if his fear is Nebulous Abandonment(tm), why is Moxxie behaving as the spokesman of his fear? That's a pretty significant position.

That's JUST in Truth Seekers. Were I to walk y'all thru the series episode by episode, we'd be here awhile.

& like... I'm not saying they're perfect. Especially Blitz. That's the point of the show. H.elluva B.oss is an exploration of the setting & a study of character growth. They ARE the plot so their imperfection is vital to it. Like, yeah, they have antagonists, but they're not the point. The antagonists serve as vehicles to their growth. I mean, almost all of the episodes end with the cast being taught some kind of life lesson as a result of their journey. Like I could literally go down a bulletin of the episodes & explain how the antagonists furthered the protagonists. But seeing that journey, seeing their character & their relationships develop is just delicious.
