I Stopped Caring About Helluva Boss A Long Time Ago (like Anyone With Taste Would) But It Did Inspire

I stopped caring about Helluva Boss a long time ago (like anyone with taste would) but it did inspire me to think about what I'd do better and how, and because of that I've done quite a few redesigns, which seems to be a common thing with -i won't say fans- but people who followed helluva boss for however long they could tolerate it.

In particular I was really pissed off (again, like anyone with taste would be) at the human design for Stolas in that one episode of Helluva Boss and generally unsatisfied with how unrealistically twinkish most of the human designs for Blitzo were so I did my own take on both of them, going for a wonky nick cave/super hans-esque visage for blitzo and something more appropriately DILFy for Stolas.

like lets be real blitzo spent his 20s smoking, boozing, partying and schmoozing and doesn't seem like the type to have a great self care routine, he would NOT look like a perfectly preserved twink with no wrinkles or hair recession at 35 no way no how, and stolas has been stressed and worn down from like the day he was born even at his (very stupid retcon of an) age of 35 he'd probably have greyed just a little maybe idk

as for their outfits, blitzo totally wears shit like orphaned suit blazers, snakeskin belts, and skinny black jeans (not pictured are his middle-finger sole jeffery west cowboy boots) and i've always headcanoned the weird skull thing he wears on his neck as a bolo tie because western rock'n'roll-y stuff like that feels up his alley.

Stolas, in place of the generic steampunk goth cosplay store shit his official human design wears, is of course wearing a brass button navy blazer, grey wool pants, and a silk ascot (plus some bracelets a token gay little earing) because theres no way he's not old-money-WASP-coded as fuck and I think it does well to illustrate his economic and cultural distance from Blitzo. Costume design, people, It says things.

Day 3 of me having a tumblr

Thought I might, at least just this once, journal my experience on tumblr so far, gonna do it in just a list in the order in which i vaguely remember it happening. Here goes.

>frontloaded my account with this mess of tags:

>kicked off my account with a blogpost about it being my first post like a corny mf

>posted some human designs, one i had literally just made which might have prompted me even making an account (bill) and some i had on the backburner (blitzo and stolas)

>posted spicy hot takes to the thunderous cheers and jeers of nobody because nobody really follows me yet :p

>looked up and followed these tags (in reverse of the order in which i searched them):

>got bombarded with weird gay hypnosis erotica with AI generated images and miscellaneous gay fetish shit when looking up #bowtie and subsequently taught myself how to filter tags so i don't ever see that shit again good fucking lord

>"jokingly" let an inside thought spill out in front of someone i followed and they responded "getting blocked speedrun" which led to me experiencing agonizing amounts of cringefail and begging them to forgive me and pretend i didn't say that oh god why am i like this

>this, on the bright side, did work, as they did forgive me and it gave me an opening to change the subject by sharing my hazbin hotel redesigns which they thought were pretty fun so i guess its not all bad

>got to finally get a good look at this side of the helluverse hatedom (ive been on the vivzie hate train for years but only on 4chan and twitter)

>a friend followed my tumblr and i found out they're actually 6 years older than me which was a surprise

>surprisingly found a not insignificant amount of boardwalk empire discussion/memes, followed a good few accounts focused on it

>joined a boardwalk empire discord server and had some fun conversations and enjoyed some quality shitposting

overall its been pretty good, humour/politics wise its been almost but not quite as bad as i expected, theres been some gem posts here and there both serious and not. im kinda feeling more upward mobility here than i do on twitter, and im definitely getting more out of it than my usual experience of posting on 4chan or on the kinda-chuddy discords i left when it occured to me that i didn't want to waste anymore time there, i spoke up about it, and after me going on a cathartic tirade about how sick of their constant disrespect and mockery i was, they (to be fair, earnestly) told me that this site was more my speed and hey i guess you're not half wrong so thanks for that i guess. I guess I finally get what the appeal was with my older sisters back when they were using tumblr in the early 2010s, maybe in that sense I was probably primed to be here eventually lol

Onwards and upwards from here!

hopefully...
