Helluva Shorts - Tumblr Posts
loving this era of bliltzø giving head centric discourse under the helluva boss tag
Uhhhhhh, baby goat pictures I took just cause
Cult of the lamb looking a bit different than what I remember
"Dhorks pulling the "we're from the (American) goverment" card while in Mexico is bad writing."
Or maybe that's the entire point, because Dhorks are supposed to represent the kind of Americans who think the entire world resolves around the USA and are so high up their own horse they think pulling that card works outside of the USA, too.
Like, you're delusional as hell if you dare claim Americans like that don't exist in real life, so how is it suddenly "bad writing" if characters like that are portrayed in fiction?
There's literally a term for it; Americentrism/US-centrism.
There wasn't much for me to dissect the way I usually do when something cool comes out, but Hell's Belles is genuinely so fucking chaotically wholesome, I love it!
Getting any proper Millie-centric content and bringing back Sallie May at the same time was the perfect way to start these shorts!
Helluva Short 3 review and taking a firm stance
So, I haven't really been involved in the discourse around the helluva shorts, predictably, antis have taken aim at them for using the initially pitched premise more than the main series, what they don't realize is that they exist to further explore that premise in the first place, but more on that later, let's talk about the most recent short which shows this best.
So, Weaboo-boo might be the best HB content since the mid-season special, dead serious. It has a simple premise executed to perfection that explores: A- a unique premise B- worldbuilding and C-character development It's funny, visually great and easily my favorite short so far.
The reason I'm finally taking a stance on this is, frankly, I have zero patience for antis/haters/whatever anymore. I kept my head down when Mission: Antarctica dropped, but I'm not staying quiet anymore.
What's the main argument they make against these shorts? They use the premise that was focused on in the pilot more than the main series, right? Now let's look at why that is. The genesis of HB was a cut premise for an episode of HH where Blitz and Moxxie would've been a bumbling pair of hitmen acting as the episode's villains. Viv decided she wanted to explore the hellaverse beyond HH and used them to do it, but early into developing HB after the pilot realized she'd rather focus on the cast and the worldbuilding of the rings, so she toned the assassinations down and focused more stories in hell. The shorts are a way of exploring premises that she still wants to explore but that would fit or otherwise work as full episodes for one reason or another, whether that be series pacing or general simplicity for the sake of avoiding padded stories.
Vivian found the literal best possible solution to the "identity crisis" of the series, and the people who complained about it the most are practically spitting in her face over it. THAT'S why this blog now has a Vivziepop anti/hater dni rule.
In summary, I loved the short both for what it is and for letting my look past the veil of civility and acknowledge how pointless engaging with the haters is. As for us fans, let's keep eating good on this quality content.
