I absolutely love Stolas's human design, and it's litterally so perfect for him.
He looks like a 50 year old theatre vampire twink (despite the fact he's only 36??) and ik some people thought that his features were weirdly long, but I think it fits him well bcuz he's weirdly long. I like that his tail became the flaps at the end of his suit. I like that the sunglasses mimicked his second set of eyes. I like how he has a hooked nose that looks like his beak. He has pants that are thicker at the end to resemble his weird bird legs. I like how his smile is in a V shape because his demon form is always gonna have a V shaped mouth bcuz he has a beak. Ik he doesn't have ears, but I think the pointed ears fit him really well.
Honestly, the one thing I would change would probably be to add a bit of lipstick to match his black beak. A couple of months ago, I saw a human Stolas redesign where they gave him a dot of lipstick for his beak, and I liked it sm. Oh, and black gloves because he's litterly always wearing them, and it matches his skin. Other than that, I absolutely love his human design!

So I decided to watch the second episode of season two of helluva boss. I found it boring.
Like maybe I’m still annoyed at how the previous ep made things canonically less interesting and was completely unnecessary (but worse like I said made the affair overall pretty stupid and in the most boring way) but this was just plain ass dull tbh.
Like it’s weird too the one nice thing I said about the prev episode was that maybe how Octavia would react to things would be interesting but her stealing the book and running to the human world: while a very good idea just wasn’t very interesting to watch. At all.
Like Loona’s past was pretty much already spelled out for us too so we get another useless flashback. Not as long as the other one and thankfully doesn’t wreck things in a way the previous ep did but still.
Overall while not as worthless and a better idea than the previous episode could ever hope to be the execution was just.. well boring and I felt no spark.
Damn season two isn’t looking like it’s going to be too sharp. The downturn in quality between it and season one is just so…stark.
Not sure Hazbin hotel is going to be good now given this. But maybe it will?

BE KIND TO ME. ; perfect landing —
note ★ a little something to get me out there while i continue designing my account . an introduction to what my blog will mainly focus on : human readers ;)
cw ★ reader grew up religious, mostly second person point of view.
in which a human falls so low that their lord can no longer hear them; so they have to make do with what they have.
if there was any sound familiar to you , it was the kyrie.
"kyrie eleison," a cantor sang at every mass; lord have mercy. sang to remind people the steadfast love of God, to remind them of His mercy. it is also, indirectly or not, a plead. you've always thought of it as one; a plead to ensure that when push comes to shove, and death comes above to collect you— it is peaceful. you're not angry, or sad, you're just... at peace. that's what you've always wished for yourself, atleast. that's what you've always wished for during the kyrie.
"kyrie eleison," they sang, you closed your eyes.
"christé eleison," they sang, you swayed to the tone.
"kyrie eleison." they sang, and you wished.
lord, be merciful. lord, be kind to me.
all you remember is falling.
falling down, and down, and down— past the soils of the earth and each their layers, past the searing innercore, likely, because you felt yourself burning. whether the fire was burning inside of you, or just burning you, you don't know. you brace yourself. your breath is ragged. you're laced with sweat, rubble, and you reek of fear.
lord, be merciful. lord, be kind to me.
you wish again, but you don't know if the lord can hear you from so low.
you land.
it is not on rough terrain, thankfully, but it's not on soft terrain either. you're confident you're supposed to be dead right now, that was a painfully hard landing. you recoil, taking a fetal position as you groan in absolute agony because what in the world did you just land on?! your vision is blurry, and black splots take up half your vision—lord, be merciful. lord, be kind to me, lord, please; you beg incessantly.
you look at what you landed on.
recently waxed tiles...?
this is outrageous.
the demon prince stolas sat across you. the height difference was astronomical— you had been taught not to lie, under any circumstances, not even this one. the height difference was astronomical and astronomically attractive. you glance around, surveying your surroundings (his legitimate palace) and trying not to lose your mind because out of all the places you could've landed on, why did you, a human, have to land in hell?
he found you in a fetal position, comatose & dirtying his immaculate floors with your humanity. from afar, he thought you were an abandoned nestling, a little owlet discarded by its mother. he pitied you, mercy filling him (not really his favorite thing to be filled with, however anyone who saw you and had atleast a bit of heart left would be able to empathize) in a rush as he took ahold of your small body in his hands.
he dropped you as soon as he held you, feathers puffing up as he stiffened. your body fell with a thump. in stolas's mind, there was but one thing:
what the fuck did blitzø do?
"blitzø ! you're going to get me in deep, deep shit because of this — who are you to think that sending a human to my palace would be a good idea ? do you know how many employees I have?! they—"
"woah, woah, woah ! calm the fuck down , stolas , I didn't fuckin' do nothing alright ? I don't know why the fuck a human somehow landed on your balcony — but hey ! atleast your tiles aren't broken from the impact of their fall ! seriously though . I don't know what the hell you're talking about ."
"then who?!—" stolas groaned. "you know what ? nevermind. fine. just send the book over and I'll send them back home." he resolved, planning to end your time here as soon as possible, so that when you do arrive in hell next time, you arrive the way you're meant to. it would be an easy fix, after all. an outlandish situation, but nonetheless easy.
"i cannot send you back to earth." were the first words stolas told you. you didn't know whether or not you were hallucinating, considering there is no way a tall, skinny owl would be able to talk. nor were you supposed to be any where but earth; that is, until you arrived to heaven. like you were meant to. right. right?
no.
he can't even send you back to earth. a demon prince with a grimoire capable of sending demons to earth, where they don't belong, can't seem to send a human back to their home. that is so messed up, that is so crazy, you are about to cry. you don't even know his name , but you know his features. you know his capabilities, not through your own knowledge however— because he was kind enough to tell you himself. would he be kind enough to shelter you? or would that be below him?
"prince stolas..." you start, he cocks his head to your direction. "you say your grimoire can send hellspawn to earth, why can it not bring humans back to it?" you think aloud, raspy voice still hoarse from screaming the first few minutes you were falling down. he tilts his head, you don't know how else to describe his body expression but ... owl-like. "you are curious, I suppose all humans are. the answer is simple: you're resisting the spell." he told you. your eyes bulged.
no way would you reject a spell to get you outta here.
"it's not you that's rejecting it, really," he hears your thoughts now! can he hear thoughts? is that what demon princes can do? "it's you, but its more something in you. as if you're meant to do something here." his tone is still even. "I will admit, what I will offer is uncharacteristically risky of me— but i cant help but pity you. so, I will offer you my hospitality." he sipped tea as your jaw dropped—tears threatening to pour as you felt your lips quiver at even the mere thought of your situation.
"I know it's scary, infact i do not favor this situation myself, but you will be taken care of, and under the protection of a goetia— you're secure." he assured, trying to appear less Intimidating as you shivered in absolute horror. there was never a scripture in the Bible about this, not that you know of— you don't know anything.
you didn't know how popular you'd be here.
you didn't know what they had in store for you, either.
you didn't know anything.
lord, be merciful. lord, be kind to me.

So one of the amusing realizations I had watching Unhappy Campers is that while I love Helluva Boss as a whole and had a great time with this episode (great to finally see some Millie development and see how her and Moxxie deal with conflict), when it comes to deep-dive analysis and theory-crafting I’m pretty much only interested in talking about Loona and Octavia
And wouldn’t you know it, despite spending the whole episode napping in the I.M.P. boardroom and possibly doing some dry-erase graffiti, I still managed to find something that has some pretty interesting implications for our favorite Goth Wolf.
See, the big world-building development this episode is giving us our first look at the ‘Asmodean Crystals’ that were first alluded to in the season premiere, which allow travel between Hell and Earth and seem to be the standard way that demons are able to conduct business on Earth.
However, in addition to portaling to Earth, we learn in this episode that Asmodean Crystals also allow the demons wearing them to assume a human disguise. Definitely a useful ability, and also has some fun implications going forward; namely that if/when I.M.P. starts using an Asmoadean Crystal of their own (as hinted by Stolas’s research), we’ll probably get to see full-on human disguises/designs for Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie XD
However, what I find particularly intriguing about this reveal goes back to the first time we saw demons using human disguises; Spring Broken.
In hindsight, it’s pretty easy to guess that Verosika and her crew used one or more Asmoadean Crystals to get to Earth and back to Hell in this episode. What I’m curious about is whether the same is true of their disguises? Ergo, are Verosika, Vortex and the rest of her succubi/incubi crew able to assume human disguises on their own, or were those disguises simply created by the crystal(s) they were using? And if it’s the second option, then that has some VERY INTERESTING implications.
Because guess who has been shown taking a human disguise WITHOUT the use of an Asmoadean Crystal?
Yep. Loona.
Really, if it turns out that most demons have to use external means/devices to take on a human disguise, then Loona being able to disguise herself all on her own starts feeling VERY significant.
I mean, consider the fact that the only other demon we’ve seen specifically assume a human disguise all on their own is STOLAS. Heck, given how she doesn’t use one, it seems like not even Octavia can do it.
In hindsight, the way Loona gets a flashy transformation sequence alongside Stolas may have been a way of conveying that this is actually some pretty high-level shit Loona is pulling off.
As to where Loona may have picked up this ability? Well, reading between the lines we kind of have to assume that Loona must have taught herself how to use the Goetic Grimoire with little-to-no outside help (it’s hard to imagine Stolas giving her lessons) to the point where she knows how to use it better than even Octavia. So who’s to say she hasn’t picked up a few other tricks from that book as well...?
Basically, this is all giving yet more hints that Loona secretly has a serious talent for magic, and I think that could lead to some very FUN developments/twists down the line.

(I actually sent this before, but something went wrong with my Internet, and I'm not sure if you received it, so I'm trying this again. Warning: long rant... again and possible grammar mistakes)
This... is starting to get concerning. Like seriously, what's up with Viv and her obsession with top hats? Almost all male characters wear a top hat: Lucifer, Husk, Sir Pentious, Vox, Valentino, Asmodeus, Stolas, Zestiel, GOD!?!?(I think?🤔) and now the hotel itself. 🤣 Am I missing someone? I'm sure I'm forgetting someone. And what's even more frustrating is that some of them wearing top hats don't make any sense. Lucifer is an easy example. He wore his top hat BEFORE HUMANITY WAS EVEN A THING!!!! We saw that at the beginning of episode 1. Like, WHAT? And don't get me started on Zestiel. Now, we don't know when he died exactly, but we can tell from what period he is by the way he speaks (and the fact that he is the oldest overlord right now also helps, kinda).
Early Modern English is the stage of the English language from the beginning of the Tudor period to the English Interregnum and Restoration, or from the transition from Middle English, in the late 15th century, to the transition to Modern English, in the mid-to-late 17th century. (From Wikipedia)
This man spider-man doesn't look that he lived in any part of the Tudor period. Seriously, what was going through Vivzipop's head when she designed her characters? And if she likes top hats so much, why hasn't she made a female wearing a top hat? I mean, look at those women:
THEY LOOK AMAZING 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lovesart23 in YouTube explains the situation with the character designs and fashion a lot better. Watch them if you haven't already 😉
The reason I really like Lovesart23 is because they actually do research!!!
And yeah...we NEED women in top hats!!!!!
