That Could've Worked, Also Maybe Ditch Crim's Homophobia/biphobia And Just Make Him Resent Moxxie For

That could've worked, also maybe ditch Crim's homophobia/biphobia and just make him resent Moxxie for relying on weapons.

Then, later, during the climax, Moxxie takes out most of his dad's goons when one manages to knocks his weapon away, which is when Millie joins in and this makes Moxxie realizes that he should at least try to improve in hand-to-hand. This would explain how he was able to take out the random biker gang in Western Energy, which always felt weird to me, like we missed something telling us that Mox didn't want to just rely on weapons.

Maybe make it a point that Moxxie is the one to spare Crimson, simply to not give him the satisfaction of the last thing he sees being his son being as raging and ruthless as he is.

Fixing this show's issues is so easy, fixing a problem gives you the perfect setup to fix two or three more, almost like you're reverse engineering how it was fucked up in the first place.

And now, by literally no one's demand, Another Reason Why Crimson Doesn't Quite Work!

So you know the song and dance about Moxxie always being called fat, but did you know what Crim looked like in the beat boards?

A hairy, hulking brute with a more modern fashion sense. This design makes him feel powerful, an active and competent threat. Also notice that Alessio, his bodyguard, seemingly didn't exist yet and weapons were a more prominent motif in his house at this point in production.

But Spindlehorse didn't go with this design, they made him a slightly taller version of his son, who is constantly mocked for his "weight", might I ad, with thicker legs and gave him a bodyguard. They made him a "fatter" pretentious blowhard who needs his cronies to do everything for him.

Maybe this is more weird fatphobia from Spindlehorse, or maybe this was just done to justify him hiring Striker in Oops. Hell, maybe the Crim and Chaz stories were originally 2 different episodes, that would actually explain a lot about the final product. Either way, I we confident that the original version of Crimson Knolastname would have been a much stronger villain, both figuratively and literally.

Look at Blitz smiling obliviously, he’s so cute and silly as always. It’s kinda weird in hindsight that they didn’t just have Loona call in sick or something her absence wasn’t really explained. I know the VA was on break but the writers didnt come up with anything for it.

Ughh it bothers me so much to hear all the potential creativity and original ideas/stories we could’ve had. So many creative minds on the team and it all gets drafted to be a sausage party episode with funnee fuck jokes~

He’s way better there. Sans stache because everyone seems to have the same stache as Striker and he’s better original. I still feel like he’s unnecessary. Moxie was born in wrath grew up in wrath and both his parents were still alive originally, so rewriting his story is really stupid. I actually don’t even know why Crimson couldn’t be a wrath ring imp mafia. Why greed?

The concept probably didn’t have the creepy and ridiculous ‘forced gay marriage’ plot either. That was so incredibly stupid and senseless. That said I really enjoyed most of the episode, the setting was really cool, the green saturated colors and dark lighting were really threatening. But it had to go and make this all about penises…I’m embarrassed that I watch this show sometimes.

I honestly cant comment on the weight thing, I don’t really see the point being made there.

Rick might be a cultist

With how much discussion there is around potential cultists in the fandom, I'm honestly surprised by how little consideration goes to this idea but I can't hold it in anymore, I think Rick is a cultist.

Yes, I am genuinely convinced that Rick motherfucking Hedony is in with the bad guys and I have several reasons for saying so.

One that started as a bit of a joke but became more convincing to me over time, despite being apathetic enough to constantly quit jobs, Rick doesn't seem to have any trouble getting new ones, this seems insignificant, but is more substantial when you take something else into account.

That something being what Rick does in TT, he leaves when he sees Bob but stays behind the store. At least to me, it reads like he knows Bob won't go after him since their both cultists and is just waiting for Kevin and the boys to get killed, this also explains his awkward attempt at small talk with Kevin, he wasn't expecting him to survive.

If he is indeed a member of the cult then he likely wouldn't have trouble getting other cultist to pull some strings and get him jobs that pay at least somewhat reasonably. It'd be hard for a prospective boss to turn you down if you're helping them take over the world.

I also find it interesting that we don't see his reaction to the Dexter Fella in episode 4, probably nothing, but interesting to think about. I know I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for his potential reaction to any supernatural goings on in episode 6.

Lastly, if Rick really is a lower level member of the cult, it's possible that seeing Eyes, or something else his mind wasn't ready to handle, broke him and that's why he's as emotionally vacant as he is.

If anyone has any corrections, additional pieces of evidence, or general thoughts on this theory, I'd be more than happy to hear you out.

Yeah yea, it'll definitely be something

Something I also thing could be interesting with this theory is that Rick worked at the post office in between SM4 and SM5, according to those Mother's Day and Father's Day illustrations Pelo made last year

Yeah, iirc that's where his last name was revealed.

Pretty sure you mentioned this before at some point, but I think it's kind of weird that Roy Against Society is basically the only fanwork that plays with the cultist Rick idea.

It would've been great if Mam actually sang a song that's clearly following the template of Ozzie and Bee's songs. BUT immediately after that we see Mammon backstage, lamenting that the formulaic dribble was more successful than any song he was actually passionate about writing and preforming.

They had a perfect chance to explore the innate complexities of a character who's the manifestation of opportunistic behavior, something that shines through the writing despite Vivienne going out of her way to make Mam seem one-dimensional. He's such a great character that even this show's writing can't botch him too bad.

But why try something that ambitious and thought provoking when you could just make him a typical "fat and sleazy agent/producer who mistreats the talent under him"?

The two biggest songs from Mammons is two girls saying bitch over and over and the other is a guy saying fuck over and over

This really is a show for edgy teens…

More Golden Goose (Mammon x Stella) stuff! (and some other HCs)

Much like the last volume, this batch of ideas will contain some HCs that are only included by virtue of association with a Golden Goose one.

Mammon doesn't have any chefs in his house staff, partly because he doesn't want the extra expense, but also because he actually enjoys cooking and is very skilled at it. This comes as a pleasant surprise to Stella and Octavia.

Contrasting the last one, Ozzie is actually a pretty sloppy cook and doesn't know many recipes, it's just that, unlike Fizz, the things he makes can at least be called food. The only reason they didn't have a chef was to lessen the risk of someone "discovering" their relationship. The first thing Asmodeus did after the mid-season special was put out a chef wanted ad.

Stella will often tell Mam stories about Via as a little kid and show him any accompanying photos she has. He's always enthralled by these and starts his own family photo album shortly after the first time Stella does this. Mammon sometimes spends minutes on end looking at the album, it's come closer than anything else to making him run late for a meeting.

Whenever they cross paths Mam chews out Stolas for treating his family like shit. Stolas tries the defend himself the first time but Mammon doesn't let him pull his scummy excuses. After that, Stolas would just fume in silence and shame whenever this happens.

Via eventually starts writing and composing her own songs and puts together an album. Mam and Stella are super proud but also not sure what to do when it comes to releasing it. After a long family discussion, Mam decides Via can perform it, but only at an exclusive royal gathering, while it's publicly released later under the stage name Great Eclipse, with a slight voice modifier.

Stella has a deep appreciation of art, especially performance art. Any performance that's any performance will have Greed's royal family in the audience. Stella also often listens to Via's songs in her free time.

Stella sometimes calls Mammon "Muffin" as a pet name. Her reasoning is that he's big, warm, soft and sweet (and she loves the way he tastes).

Lastly, for some angst and comfort: Early into the relationship Stella often felt a sense of not being good enough for or being a burden to Mam, as she didn't have much varied life experience. This would sometimes throw her into manic depressive states and bring out her more aggressive side. The first time this happened Mam freaked out and was terrified that he'd lose Stella. Luckily, Via was able to smooth out the situation and tell Mammon about her mom's problems and the signs that she's having a "mood". Ever since then, if Mam even thinks that Stella is having those self deprecating intrusive thoughts he makes sure to do something extra just for her. No matter how small it is, Stella always cherishes it and these issues almost completely disappear by the time they get married.

Hi, I'm part of a group who tries to warn people who like and/or reblog from a reposter in the helluva boss fandom called remtix. This person is stealing arts and post them without any credits and sometimes even edit the illus to hide the watermark. Please remove your like if possible, the fewer reblogs and likes they have, the better it will help the artists to avoid their works to be more spread and to report them. Thanks!

Already aware of that situation, A for effort, keep it up.
