Ngl, I Got To Your Blog Because I Was Looking For Someone Who Loved Stella As Much As I Do, I Got Interested

Ngl, I got to your blog because I was looking for someone who loved Stella as much as I do, I got interested in Mammon while I took the tour around the blog and the Stolas and Asmodeus hate closed the deal. Found my new fav place on this site, don't take me away from here 💚🩷

Thanks!

I haven't been as active here as I'd like to be lately but I'm planning on changing that soon.

I'm always happy to see that someone's enjoying my ideas and ramblings.

Okay, but consider this:

Todd is an anglophile and gets pissy when no one gets his references to random British media. He desperately tries to get the rest of the brotherhood and basically anyone who'll listen to watch random British stuff with him. Once in a blue moon someone actually agrees.

You're welcome

Realising we could've had English toad in X-Men: Evolution but they made him American is such a disappointment, do you guys even understand the amount of meme potential we could've had.

THERE WAS A JOKE IN THE SHOW THAT TOAD DOESN'T BRUSH HIS TEETH.

THE BRITISH PEOPLE HAVE BAD TEETH JOKE WAS RIGHT THERE GUYS.

COME ON.

I think what’s awesome about Mammon is that he’s shown to have so many more powers than the other sins we’ve seen so far. He can teleport without the use of portals, he can generate electricity, he has an actual form change that isn’t just Get Big like Bee and Asmodeus. It really points to him being pretty powerful! (And he would totally win in a fight against Oz XP )

I also like the variety in Mammon's powerset. A big part of why I love his character is that he's very distinct from other antagonists and characters in general, from his design to his writing and his wide array of abilities.

Back when I first started this blog, I actually joked with someone in their DMs about Ozzie being unambiguously physically outmatched by Mammon, shows that great minds think alike 8)

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life. 

Helluva Boss's official twitter just showed off a new pride art piece depicting Mammon as AroAce, your thoughts?

What thoughts are you expecting exactly?

I still ship Golden Goose and always will, also this might just be my general ignorance of pride flags, but as far as I understand, the flag he's wearing is just ace, not strictly aroace, I may not know everything on this subject but I know it's possible to be one without the other.

So if you're worried that my Golden Goose content is going away don't worry. On the other hand, if you were hoping this would mean the end of me shipping it, tough luck.

I will say though that it's a really fun art piece and gets the characters well.

Also, apologies if this came off harsh, I've just had bad experiences regarding ship policing and things like this set me off a little.

Helluva Boss Apology Tour review

In retrospect, it's pretty funny that my expectations for this and The Full Moon ended up being reversed, the episode I expected to by focused on character interaction ended up being more action focused, while the episode I thought would be action focused ended up being mostly character interactions.

For those who just want my thoughts on the plot developments: Once again, I'm pleasantly surprised by how Stolas is handled, with a few moments sticking out for currently neutral reasons (it'll make more sense later).

Now, do get to the details:

I felt the opening sequence was slightly longer than needed, but I feel that was somewhat intentional, evoking a sense of unease.

The montage of the bulk of Blitz's apologies is a lovely tribute to what amounts to the first third of the show, this is easily the most callback heavy episode, but I'd say it feels earned given its place in the story. And I simply can't gloss over the brief acknowledgement of all the people who ship Martha and Mayberry, for someone like me, who has a love of those tongue in cheek fandom gags, it's a real good treat.

Speaking of references, don't think I missed Grandpa's cameo when Blitz gets to Earth, oddly enough, it's not even the characters first interactions with the hellaverse, as Brandon's channel has a sketch of Blitz and Moxxie going after Grandpa.

The song was perfectly serviceable, even if I'm not a fan of Bryce Pinkham's voice in general. I'll also take this opportunity to say I loved both the joke of an actual Blitz plush being burned and the brief shot of the last "party" Stolas attended.

The major point of the episode is obviously the conversation between Blitz and Stolas at the party, and I certainly have some thoughts on it. The first moment that stuck out to me was Stolas saying he wants someone to care about him and want him in their life, only for him to clarify a moment later that he meant it romantically feels like it was done to show that he's, at least on some level, aware that he's neglecting Octavia, which I can't wait to see catch up with him, hopefully by the end of the season. The second is when her doubles down on wanting to be wanted, the exact moment when I came up with this question:"Stolas why do you think no one wants you in their life?" And this is exactly what I hope is built on, Stolas has drowned himself in self pity for so long that there's very little to him as a person to the point that no one sees any real benefit in having any relationship with him, not just romantically, but platonically as well.

This is all building to my point, I'm genuinely starting to think that Blitz and Stolas' relationship will ultimately end on a mutually respectful break up, and if that does turn out to be true then I might genuinely end up somewhat respecting this plotline, despite the major road bumps in the first half of the season.

The last major point I want to hit is Verosika, who manages to be both more extreme and more subdued than before while still feeling completely natural. While I don't have any concrete ideas, I am very curious to see where her character goes in the future.

In conclusion, while I think I prefer The Full Moon, this is still a better episode than roughly half of season. I just hope they can keep it up in the last three episodes as well as the three shorts we'll be getting in July, August and September, which are indeed a thing, in case you weren't aware. That's all for now, feel free to leave any of your own thoughts below.
