guess this is a Hellaverse blog now

Hi yes sorry it took me [checks notes] a fucking week to answer this jfc I was out of state and exclusively on mobile where you never get notifications about asks.

ANYWAY!!! big fucking same.

That's the thing that makes me so crazy about HB specifically. Normally with fandom there will be either a character or a ship (or sometimes both) that I latch onto really hard and that's most of what I spend my time thinking about while actively participating in that fandom. But with Helluva Boss, it's literally the entire core crew. All five plus Octavia live in my head rent fucking free and I'm not sure if I've ever been this obsessed with the entire core cast of a series like this. Because yeah there's Stolitz and I'm obsessed with them and Stolas and Blitz individually, but it's like... it's the whole gang, you know?

It's about how M&M are as a couple and how despite being just outrageously in love, they really haven't known each other very long at all and there's a lot they're still finding out about each other. It's about how Blitz and Moxxie have this messy, turbulent relationship where they adore each other but they're both quietly working through a lot of personal issues they have AT each other and that makes things hard for them to be vulnerable with each other so they just pick at each other instead. It's about how Blitz and Millie are besties, sure, but also about how Blitz was the first person maybe ever Millie didn't have to manage, because he was as parentified as she was (not that she knows that yet, though I wonder if she suspects) and is also the caretaker in all his relationships, and so she's able to let go of that sense of over-responsibility and just be chill with him, and how Blitz can see just how incredible she is and is learning that he can rely on her when he needs to, without using that as an excuse to heap unasked-for responsibility on her. It's about how Blitz's relationship to Loona as her father is in conflict with his relationship to her as her boss, and how that both echoes and stands as a fierce challenge to the outcome of the similarly muddied relationship with his own father but is still something they're going to have to find their way to resolve. It's about the fact that Millie and Moxxie so obviously want Blitz to be just as ridiculously over-involved in their lives as he does, just maybe... not by pestering them for threesomes lmao. It's about how there's this obvious, Stolas-shaped hole in the friend group that's just waiting for the right owl to come fill it (and about how there's a smaller space for Via if you know where to look). It's about all of them, together, and the way that the whole group so obviously comes into balance once you bring them all together.
