Here's The Rundown Of Her Plotline:

Here's the rundown of her plotline:

Hattie has a gay friend who's currently dating a guy from Iran whose visa shortly expires. The friend asks Hattie to marry the Iranian guy (whose name I can't remember) so he can stay in the UK.

The thing is that Hattie's been through a bad relationship with a nasty break up (that's all the info we get) and desperately wants another man in her life.

A few days after the "wedding", while her friend's out of town, she convinces the Iranian guy to come over, uses threats of reporting him and having him deported back to Iran if he doesn't stay the night, chains his leg to a radiator in his sleep and spends the rest of the season trying to brainwash him.

And yes, as I've said before, the writers somehow manage to make all of this simultaneously horrifying and hilarious.

I think that should make the parallels clearer.

You know, I was wondering why both Blitz and Fizz feel like they remind me of something but in different ways.

Then I remember Mr. Jelly from Psychoville, who is a crass, alcoholic, amputee birthday clown who is played by on of the show's creators.

Also, the doctor who helped Jelly get accustomed to his prosthetics took a liking to clowning and became Mr. Jolly, whom Jelly is in fierce competition with also being constantly mistaken for him.

Yes, this is a thinly veiled attempt at getting you to watch the show, but it was super underrated and had ARG elements that would've gotten it way more than just 2 seasons had it come out just a few years later. And if nothing else, it's better as a dramatic adult comedy than HB.

LMAO????

Honestly, I agree with Viv on this front just for the first point. Striker being anti-capitalist is more than enough to make me hate him.

If you're surprised by this, you'd do well to remember I kin the king of greed himself, I'm the most diehard capitalist you'll ever meet.

Striker: anti-capitalist, anti-royalty, anti-billionaire, anti-oppression cowboy

Viv: let’s make him ridiculously evil and like a little rat man cause he needs to hurt more for his sins!

Stolas: a rich white royal pig who literally oppresses peasants and chokes out his butlers like they are toys.

Viv: aww poor baby baby

She’s pretty much a millionaire herself so this doesn’t surprise me…stolas literally abuses and exploits all four of IMP for his perverted bird needs or every personal problem he has, and if this isn’t enough to make you hate him nothing will. Idc if Millie and moxie are written to love stolas for no reason whatsoever it makes no sense.

Striker is barely evil, everything he says is true. People just can’t handle it.

His constant lying and failure to educate Via is just another example of how Stolas is a worse father than Paimon. I think he lies because he thinks Via not knowing how toxic the Ars Goetia are will shield her from it's toxicity, when it will only make it a thousand times worse when it actually hits her.

Also, yeah, it's really sad to see that Via has essential zero social life, especially with how many parties Stella throws. You'd think that at least some other noble would've taken their kid to meet Via when they were young.

Side note, if Stolas and Stella were engaged at 10, why has the fact that Via should've already been engaged for the better part of a decade not been addressed at all? Will we see her get engaged against her will in season 3 and have this plot point used to make her like Stolas again and turn on her mother? Probably.

What really bothers me about Octavia is, like, does she have no friends, no peers?? If she’s heir to the Goetia family, has she been doing any training or studying for her “role” if something did happen to Stolas?? Does she even know what that role is, because Stolas had clearly been preparing for his job since he was a very young child (even though we have yet to see him do anything related to his job outside of the Harvest Moon Festival)??

Like Stolas with Blitz, her only existence is to be completely obsessed with one another character and never shut up about them. She has never passed the Bechdel test. I love via but her one personality trait is ‘i love my dad’ that’s it. Viv won’t let her have anything else. And if she does give via something it’ll either be her hating other women (probably her mom) or her getting a obsessive crush on a boy.

Yeah, stolas has been preparing for whatever his job is, reading stars or some shit—his whole life, and it’s clear that even Paimon had to have stolas out of obligation. Maybe even as a ‘precaution’ as well considering he had many children, this usually means plenty are needed in case anything happens to them.

No, she knows nothing. Stolas does nothing but lie to her by omission every single day of her life. He makes Stella do the same. And still sees himself as the victim.

All of her training and studying is impossible if the grimoire is in someone else’s possession. Stolas doesn’t even tell her that his marriage was arranged, and why she was born. He can’t even tell her about the divorce, unless it’s all offscreen. For some reason he thinks it’s better to just keep it all a secret and lie to her face every single day, then turn around and say “I’ve endured so much for that girl!!” He waits until she has a horrific mental breakdown, cuts him out entirely, and has to come to the conclusions all alone. She asks if she was an obligation and he keeps fucking lying saying “no” instead of “I had to have a child, it’s true, I’m so sorry. but you were the best thing that ever came from this awful situation.” Just tell her the truth

The fact that the no.9 lads teased us with a bus episode last series and are now promoting the last ever series with a preview of an episode about a different mode of public transport has to be the most elaborately beautiful middle finger to hardcore fans I have ever seen. Never change, guys, never change.

It's probably just a result of me binging Psychoville the other day, but Reece's character here looks exactly how I'd imagine an older Jeremy Goode.

Also, as a wise man once said; The tubes, THE TUBES!

I am so excited for series 9 of Inside No.9, the cast list looks insanely good!

Article here

Eddie Marsan! Charlie Cooper! Susan Wokoma! JOEL FRY?!!

And getting Adrian Scarborough and Mark Bonnar back for a Psychoville reunion!

AND STEVE PEMBERTON IN FULL DRAG?!!!!!!

I knew I'd be excited for this but fucking hell this is perfection! I cannot wait to see where they take us this time!

Probably because some people prefer their weird little guys extra chaotic and violent.

You did Kevin Spooky Month so I have to ask for Skid and Pump Spooky Month

Bouquet, since their individual ships tend to be named after flowers.

I'm sleep deprived. There should be more poly ships in the SM fandom.
