I just finished the episode
oh my god
I thought the twist was going to be she had some kind of psychosis or the same mental illness her dad did, but that hit WAY more holy shit
While I recover from that, how the scenes jump to each year was cool, I liked it
Poor Jack :[
Just. Oh my god I need time to process that ask me about the ranking tomorrow
Also want to mention that as I was watching it something fell from the ceiling and I couldn't find it so. That was also fun
Yeah, A smidge predictable for me, but still a classic no.9 twist
Sidenote, I love how we are only one episode away from finishing and there are already MULTIPLE good contenders for "who deserved what happened to them the least"
Yeah!
Can't wait to get to discussing that!
A Golden Goose idea I had:
When courting Stella, Mammon made it a point not to take her to Ozzie’s. This isn’t out of spite for Asmodeus either, rather, Mammon naturally recognizes the club for what it is: a place for people to have meaningless hook ups in the name of lust and lust alone. Since Mammon well and truly loves Stella, he wants to make sure she knows that in every little thing he does, and he is certain taking her to Ozzie’s, no matter how high end and classy it may be, would send the wrong message.
Unrelated to the above, but I like the idea of Mammon and Stella, pretty far into their relationship, having a date at some sort of fast food dive, for little reason other then the dichotomy of Mammon being himself and having a ball there, while Stella is sitting across from him eating fast food with all the grace and poise her upbringing has instilled within her (and maybe enjoying the date more than she lets on).
Just some random thoughts I thought I’d share.
Guy, I swear, if I ever meet you in person, we're getting pizza, my treat. I LOVE THESE!
Mam going the extra mile to show Stella just how much she means to him in really subtly sappy ways actually works really well with my idea of Mammon actually being smarter and more attentive than people (in and out of universe) give him credit for.
Also, YES! I ADORE hcs about Stella broadening her comfort zone and exploring interests she couldn't/wouldn't before due to Goetic culture.
Great showing all around
@crossover-enthusiast actually shared this art of yours with me a few days ago, still lovely to see my little goobers, though. Well done.
btw the character i sent you that is me and crossies oc crossie simps for them <3
Oh, hot damn, this is actually extra funny given an SM head canon Cross and I have
I’ve been thinking about your response to my previous ask and how you’ve said in the past Stella being with Mammon would encourage her to get out of her comfort zone. So, I’ve been mulling over an angsty Golden Goose scenario:
Basically, after having a number of dates, Mammon realizes he’s been taking the lead and deciding what they do on all of them, so he asks Stella what she wants to do or if there is any hobby she wants to indulge… and she doesn’t have an answer. She wracks her brain and… nothing. It’s only now that she realizes that she doesn’t have any interests or hobbies of her own, and outside of Camio and Furfur (hope it’s okay I’m drawing inspiration from your own headcanon) she doesn’t have much in the way of true friends. Between her strict upbringing, arranged marriage, dealing with Stolas’ crap, trying her best to parent Octavia, and doing everything in her power to get out of her marriage + get back at Stolas while she’s at it, she hasn’t really been able to explore any interests outside of passing flights of fancy. This realization leaves Stella despondent and inconsolable, with it taking a lot of effort on the part of Octavia, Mammon, Camio, and Furfur to try and get her out of the resulting funk. She ultimately comes out of it for the better and starts exploring different ventures that catches her eye, but that realization still sometimes eats away at the back of her mind.
Im not used to writing angst, so here’s a more comedic idea I’ve had since I started shipping Golden Goose:
The second Andrealphus realizes his sister is dating possibly the most wealthy demon in the entire 7 Rings, he immediately gets to work trying to get in Mammon’s good graces and sucks up to him on every occasion. Mammon is aware of Andy’s… questionable behavior and the only reason he hasn’t turned the icy peacock into a Slurpee is because of reasons similar to why he hasn’t personally dealt with Stolas. Instead, Mam has settled on stringing Andrealphus along and finding subtle ways to humiliate him in a similar manner to how Kevin treated the bellhop in Home Alone 2.
Apologies if this is a garbled mess, but I’ve been on a Golden Goose kick and felt like sharing.
I could actually empathies with Stella's issue in the first idea, the feeling of directionlessness has crept up on me a few times, that sense of dread as your own values start devaluing every moment. There's a lot of potential to explore with this concept, I've even toyed with some similar ideas in the past.
Also, don't sweat it, I would KILL to have my ideas for Camio and Furfur become common fanon.
I love the idea of Andre trying to parasitize off of Stella's relationship with Mammon. It also works well for Mam's characterization, as I can confidently say that whenever they met, he would casually insult Andre while delivering it like a joke in his typical, bantering way of talking, so Andre doesn't even realize he's being insulted. Not that he'd let if show if he did realize, he to stay in Mam's 'good' graces.
what is the sm headcannon
Sorry, I'm actively talking with Cross, it's that, in school, Pump's mom had a little gossip racket going and new everyone's crushes.
did crossie show you the drawings i did for the 3 doodles i drew for them
Nope
I just had a stupid idea for a Mammon brand product: Mammonopoly: The Game That WILL Tear Your Friendships & Family Apart. Yeah… that tagline is not hyperbolic. Despite its notorious reputation, the board game actually has a decent sales and is rather popular in the Wrath Ring. The Sins themselves are also not expert from what the games promise, and the one time they played it, things almost escalated into a full scale, 7 sided civil war before Lilith managed to deescalate the situation.
Like I said, stupid idea, but I thought it was pretty funny.
Sorry for the later response, my schedule's gone down the shitter.
I love this idea, the name and tagline are perfect and the idea of the Sins having a game night, on it's own, is an amazing and chaotic premise.
Love the detail of it being popular in Wrath because of how good it is at sparking conflict.
Found this on pinterest
Yes, and we love him for it :)
Shockingly, I have a non Mammon related idea to share. Namely, some ideas I’ve been mulling over of how Belphagor may be characterized:
Bel will be presented as surprisingly genial and diligent with her duties despite being drowsy 24/7 and constantly falling asleep (think Sleep from Orion and the Dark), possibly even being able to function/work while she is sleeping.
Bel will be asleep at all times and basically be a living prop with a reoccurring joke that she’s basically automated everything in her domain so she can get around, work, and even communicate without having to wake up and actually do anything herself.
Bel is a NEET/stoner that stays cooped up in her room, having delegated all of her duties to others and only getting involved when she absolutely has to. Unlike all of the other Sins, she isn’t propped up as some big celebrity around Hell and she dresses very informally/casually, especially compared to the six.
Bel is just straight up Inside Out 2’s Ennui and just doesn’t give a shit. She’s completely uninvolved in pretty much every aspect of Hell’s political landscape and the Sloth ring’s inhabitants have basically made a ramshackle democratic government since she can’t be bothered to lead it.
Bel is just a straight up mad scientist that not only tests her drugs on her subjects, but uses specially made drugs to keep them placid and under her thumb.
I know this is pretty messy and more importantly not Mammon related, but I’ve had these rattling in my head for a while and wanted to them.
Oh, NOW we're taking!
I have some T H O U G H T S on Bel, I've pondered her quite a bit. While I can't explain it fully, Sloth gives me a really uneasy feeling and, in my experience, most powerful entity ensembles usually involves at least one designated creepy member. I think the creepy Sin will either be Levi or Bel.
Now, I will admit there's a chance Levi is the creepy one and what I'm about to say is totally off base, but I would like to share some of my Levi ideas soon, too.
So, my Bel idea is one of those neigh-emotionless "for science/knowledge/progress!" mad scientists, with the twist of being very lax. The reason most Sloth natives are deformed in some way is due to her using her subjects as guinea pigs.
She also has a thing about how efficient things are, like, she has a text to speech keyboard on her hover chair because she deems it more efficient than actually talking.
I also have a HC for Sloth's general past. Bel and Baphomet are a couple who rule Sloth together, or rather, Baphomet does the ruling while Bel is hold up in her lab. Baphomet's creations are the candleheads, while Bel's are the plague doctors from Western Energy, and almost exclusively live in Sloth, mostly working as Bel's personal lab workers. Sloth used to be a vacation destination first and foremost, until the quack wellness market started and Baphomet convinced Bel to rebrand their ring.
Because of this, Baphomet has a typical caricature tourist look, while Bel wears a fancier plague doctor suit which gives her a humanoid outline, despite the fact she's actually badly mutated under her suit.
Hope you like these ideas, they've been brewing in my brain for a while. Also, small thing but I'm that kind of guy, it's actually "Beplhegor", with 2 "e"s.
so remember your spooky watch au? 1 thing i was curious about is: how much of the spooky month cast are spooks! and how much are still normal humans?
Apologies for the belated answer.
The general rule of thumb is that episode villains, and most potential villains/antagonists are spooks, the big exceptions so far being Roy and Evermore. We'll have to wait and see how future episodes change this.
Im letting you know that you are probably the sole reason I made up an entire au where mammon x stella had children... Yes multiple. Twins. Insufferable little shits. I never had such a fun time writing anything in my life but im so scared to release it into the wild its extremely cringe lmao
Anon, I'm begging you, there's so little proper Golden Goose content, whatever you have on this idea, please, PLEASE post it.
The idea of Mammon and Stella having twins, especially their interactions with Octavia, is amazing!
RAMSES RAMSES THUMBNAIL
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AND, it's coming tomorrow at a very reasonable time in my timezone, WE WIN!
As an aside, I find it really funny that because of the episode being pushed up, we ended up finishing Season 6 in the nick of time
YEAH, also, expect a full thumbnail analysis.
Moloch could be stommiform
Kinds of fitting, it has his smile
Good idea, also, this gave me the idea of Gregor as a sea angel
Merch and Stolas’ dynamic in a nutshell:
Yep, that's it to a T.
