im really glad people are finally talking about their critiques of helluva boss on youtube instead of just praising so i wanted to say thank you for being honest!! i know some people are afraid to critique the show cuz of the fanbase n that sucks :( oh btw!! what were your thoughts on Western Energy :0?

Yeah the fandom (and the critics too honestly) have all gotten really out of hand. The fandom is very very toxic.

Since I announced in my comments section that I'm probably gonna wait until the end of Helluva Boss season 2 to review the remaining episodes for it in succession, I may as well schpeel my thoughts on Western Energy. And boy howdy do I have... a lot of them ~~~

What the f_ck. WHAT did they do to my boy Striker

Striker in Harvest Moon: A secret assassin working as a farmhand who knew Stolas was going to appear conveniently in his own isolated ring of Wrath for the Harvest Moon. (where there are imps aplenty participating in the pain games; who hate the Goetia so there would be too many people to investigate for Stolas' murder so he could get off scot-free) Striker hides in a room with an angelic sniper rifle set up a street down, where he can make a quick getaway and no one will even see him. A quick, easy, clean kill.

Striker in f_cking Western Energy: CRASHES THROUGH A WINDOW OF A PUBLIC UPSTANDING CAFE WHERE OTHER GOETIA ARE DINING and starts FIRING ANGELIC BULLETS AT RANDOM; EVERYONE CAN SEE HIS FACE, THERE ARE SEVERAL WITNESSES. He even manages to capture Stolas via rope. AND THEN FUCKING DRAGS HIM VIA HORSEBACK ALL THE WAY TO THE RING OF WRATH TO TORTURE HIM BEFORE K_LLING HIM????? FUCKING EXCUSE ME? WHO IS THIS??!!! This was completely pointless. It was padding. Time wasting. In season one, Stella was pissed that Striker didn't shoot Stolas on sight. She wanted him dead and she wanted him dead NOW for cheating on her. She was ANGRY. She was out for blood.

In this episode, Striker says Stella asked him to give Stolas the "royal treatment" which goes against what she wanted in season 1. It actually goes against what she wanted at the start of this episode too! Striker literally busts into the cafe and starts firing bullets, nearly insta-killing Stolas right then and there had he not dodged. Striker tying him up and hauling him away is so illogical. It makes no sense. Stolas should have been shot dead in that alleyway. This was pathetic. At the end of the episode, there's a huge media circus for Stolas being hospitalized which is really weird because how they hell did they know? I guess Moxie and Millie called the hospital ahead of time, but I don't think the news would spread THAT fast. If anything, its ridiculous for Stolas to call Blitz and request help. Dude wtf did these two learn nothing? Stolas has gone right back to taking advantage of the situation for his fckin knight in shining armor fantasy play. and then like, after the call, Stolas is all "Oh shit, am I in danger?" LIKE HELLO? FCKING ??? YOU JSUT DODGED ANGELIC BULLETS AT THE CAFE?! YOU KNEW IT WOULD KILL YOU! BRUH?! OF COURSE YOU'RE IN DANGER YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN DANGER WHTKASFHKRDGJLlkdg Anyway, as CONSEQUENCES for Striker attacking a high-class Goetia in a public cafe with several witnesses, the news reporters should have swarmed the place. Striker's identity should have been revealed to the world as a prime suspect for the attempted murder and kidnapping of a Goetia. Stolas would be missing and Striker would be wanted. Blitz should have seen this on tv at the hospital with Loona. That would make the most sense. It would keep the drama going. The serious tone of the episode. The news station reporters wouldn't have appeared out of nowhere at the end of the episode; we would have expected them because they've been following this story all day now.

Striker getting this whole song about he's a cruel conniving almost well-known assassin with an evil lair in the mountains as though this is a folk tale song like everyone knows about him... when he was so secretive and Millie's family didn't know he was an assassin before they hired him.... and his ........... statue of himself what the actual f_ck Striker isn't Chazz. Striker is arrogant, but he's not promiscuously arrogant. He only takes pride in his farmhand work and assassin work. Not whatever the hell.... this is. This is a gross misrepresentation of his character.

Stella in season 1 was pissed Stolas cheated on her and was so angry with rage she wanted him killed immediately. In this episode, she's like teehee yeah I hired an assassin :P like its a fcking joke? Like its a silly game to her? This wasn't a game. Andre (shortening her brother's name) talks to her about inheritance and says she will get nothing if Stolas dies; which I thought he was convincing Stella to call off the assassination because otherwise it would all go to Octavia (who apparently is of legal age to inherit everything over her mother) Because of Stella and Stolas divorced, typically, its supposed to be 50/50 regardless of inheritance of the children. Andre says Stolas' duties, possessions, and his legions will all pass to Octavia. What? Stella has never been interested in the book. Octavia is the one who seems like she was taught by her father the star spells, so yeah, probably gonna inherit the book duties. Stella apparently throws parties... she's never been seen doing actual Goetia duties though. So she probably wouldn't want his duties anyway; they'd be inconvenient for this "childish spoiled brat" Viv is ... sigh, currently trying to portray of her. Stolas already gave away most of his possessions to Blitzo 25 years ago. Granted, he probably accumulated more. But still. And legions? Excuse me? Does Stolas have an army, or are you talking about imp butlers? Those guys are cheap and aplenty. and Stella has money. She even offers Striker more money to bring Stolas back alive. As for negotiations, the only way Stella could get anything out of Stolas is if she threatened Octavia or Blitz, and I don't see her actually doing that. So I don't know wtf they think was gonna happen if Striker brought Stolas back alive. He wasn't gonna budge on shit. The Goetia inc*st is disgustingly unnecessary. Especially because Stella is treated like a dumb whining child while Andre is the one comforting and coaching her like ...... he even calls her a stupid cow....and she seems uncomfortable with his advances like what the actual hell is this. Why did we need inc*st here

Loona's voice actor lost her boyfriend to cancer... (really upsetting so sorry this happened) so Loona's voice has been missing for the past two episodes (respectfully), but you know, I actually laughed really hard at Loona this episode. It's great that she's dead quiet throughout, it wouldn't have been as funny otherwise. So hey, fun simple B plot! That being said though... while this Loona gets her shot is a funny B plot, it does not belong in this episode. We go from serious torture and fight scenes to Loona and Blitz shenanigans. The tone shifts are very wrong. This B plot should have been in a different episode. Not this one. The B plot though isn't without its nonsense, though. The lady at the desk is like "I can't read or spell" and then literally a few seconds later she CAN suddenly read. Like what? What is this dialogue? Its unfunny padding, stick to a joke. What's even more frustrating to me is that the potential social commentary is a complete miss. The hospital is in sloth and the shot wait list is 5 years. Is Viv making fun of hospitals for being slow? For why appointments have to be made several months in the future? What??? Doctors aren't lazy?! They're LITERALLY OVERWHELMED WITH CLIENTS. THEY ARE BUSTING THEIR ASSES EVERY DAY WITH PEOPLE! THEY DO NOTHING BUT WORK WORK WORK!!! Hospitals belong in the greed ring!!!!????? for the sheer ridiculous amount of charges and expenses! Especially because the medicine industry is PRIVATIZED! AND HEAVILY CAPITALIZED! Huge missed opportunity on social commentary. Disappointing.

Millie and Moxie I guess go deal with Striker because they have unfinished business which you know I guess is nice but... I feel like Blitz is usually the one to save Stolas... Moxie and Millie should have had a different set up to confront Striker, because them being put in charge defeating an assassin that almost killed not only them both but also Stolas... like why would Blitz trust them? They failed last time. He seems so unconcerned.

Also Millie puts a random hat on Moxie's head at the beginning. It's apparently a point of contention. Some random fckin guy comes up to Moxie and gets mad they're wearing the "same hat". Why the hell is the hat a point of contention?! Why isn't it just a random fashion choice for the "western energy" aesthetic the episode was going for? And Moxie actually beats the hell out of this gang?! Excuse me what? He was a damsel in distress last episode!? Moxie is a twink! It's been established he can't wrestle or fight with his fists!? Since when is he suddenly a strong badass????? What is this inconsistency!?

The tiny imp mariachi band, they're actually adorable. Love their designs despite their poor story-written Striker song. Wish I could see more of those fellas!

ALso forgot to mention, Striker has a new voice actor. Bosco does a great job. I'll miss his previous voice actor, he was so good, but you know... word is, Viv completely blew her budget on hiring him. Viv can no longer, or rather, was never really able to afford Norman Reedus. Sad to see him go, but you know... Striker isn't the same Striker from season 1 anyway. All the characters have changed in season 2. So I think its nice Norman Reedus got to voice act for the good episode time period.

Striker torturing Stolas and Stolas turning it s_xual... this is a trend Viv is doing and I don't know if she even realizes it. "Characters get tortured and make it sexual to try and weird out their captor" and "Character gets sad looking at pictures full of context that slide by the screen way too fast" are some of her favorite tropes apparently. That being said though I'm lowkey concerned. Striker breaks his fcking leg and Stolas says "Blitz is rougher in bed"? Excuse me? I know maybe there's pain play or Stolas has healing abilities and pain tolerance but like???? Is Blitz?? Fucking breaking his bones and stabbing him in bed?! JFC? What is this relationship????? I've grown very concerned. Speaking of that fav trope of Viv's, when Moxie shows up and gets choked by Striker, he smiles and says "harder" like Angel Dust did in the pilot of Hazbin. Striker recoils in disgust, LETTING HIM GO? That doesn't warrant Striker letting go?! Striker has a giant b_ner statue of himself, his entire pain game competition with Blitz- them rough housing and enjoying it-, and Stolas was talking dirty the entire time he was getting tortured. I know Moxie of all people saying this is supposed to be shocking since he's not the type to say this, but like?? Striker shouldn't have been as weirded out by this ?!

Anyway oH MY

GOD I LOVED the Millie & Moxie vs Striker fight scene holy shit its SO GOOD?! Who did the choreography?! The car flip, revealing Moxie aiming directly at Striker, Striker dodging, spinning the knife then expertly throwing it into Moxie's gun... the gun shot activating the radio in the layer, "watcha thinkin' bout now?" a perfect fitting song for the western vibe and a great beat for this fight?! Striker TAPPING HIS FOOT TO THE BEAT , AND THEN CRACKING HIS NECK WITH A DEVILISH SMIRK, PREPARING AND WAITING FOR MOXIE AND MILLIE TO MAKE THE NEXT MOVE? Spinning his dual angel GUNS?! NOW THIS IS THE STRIKER I KNOW AND LOVE! HELLO THERE SIR!

And Moxie and Millie acting like the Bonnie and Clyde duo, where Millie is the close range blades expert while Moxie is the long range gun expert, both acting as offense and defense for each other, circling around Striker , taking him on together while he takes them both on at once? Since they know he's over come them individually before, but together? Man this is.... molten gold, beautiful ...and then its ruined when the song gets changed to a crappy unfitting pop song... ..... sigh, thanks, Viv ..

Anyway back to epic fight scene... Striker shooting, back flipping away from Millie's axe... Moxie coming in for a kick and then Millie coming in to block the gun shot with her axe, protecting Moxie omygod I love this... Moxie immediately going in for the shot.... HOO THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT

Striker's guns get cut so he grabs his lasso and slams a rock into Millie, SEPARATING the two, an excellent tactic... Striker uses his lasso and twangs off the bendy axe handle to get up onto higher ground to get the advantage- GRABBING MILLIE'S AXE WITH HIS FRICKEN TAIL??? aND HURLING IT AT HER HOLY SHIT GIRL ALMOST DIES Ey! She's not invincible, thank goodness??? Its refreshing seeing her and moxie a little bit more on par this episode. Both having weaknesses and strengths instead of Moxie always being the weak damsel in distress and Millie being the ridiculous OP wife Anyway Millie almost dies and its a wild shot, her OWN AXE almost cuts her head from her body like WOW! AND then sTRIKER AND THEN STRIEKR RRRR He snaps his fingers, sighs and tutts with disappointment, but still SMILES like a "damn it, missed... I'll get her next time" LIKE ??? THAT'S SO GOOD ?? SO IN CHARACTER? SO CHARMING? SO CHARISMATIC? I don't know why but I laughed SO HARD at Moxie screaming "YOU COWBOY PIECE OF SHIT!" It was so funny in Richard's voice, so funny and weirdly personal over cowboys lol , loved that

Striker's..... stupid ugly statue falls on him, but it's shown he's escaped.

and then Stolas is brought to the hospital; and then Moxie and Millie inform Blitz that Stolas got hurt

and the dumbest line of the episode: "He can get hurt?" YES??????????? Yes he can??? You know he can get hurt? HELLO? Why did you stop Striker???!!! Moxie knew Striker had an angelic weapon and Blitz must have been suspicious of Striker and followed him, found him ready to kill Stolas?! Even offered a deal??? A partnership to kill Stolas?! MOXIE LITERALLY STOLE STRIKER'S FCKING ANGELIC RIFLE. WHERE THE FCK DID THAT GO? DID IT BLIP OUT OF EXISTENCE? OF COURSE STOLAS CAN GET HURT SDKGJDFLKJGLDFKJLGJ BRUH

WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW This is like such a shocking moment to Blitz its so dumb of course he cant get hurt i swear to - sIGH

and then we have more nonsense. You know how everyone was complaining about Blitz and Stolas in the Seeing Star episode? Acting like nothing happened between them at Ozzies? Like they didnt have this weird break-up reality check? Guess what. It's "addressed". Off-screen. Via text messages. And double guess what? The text messages are empty. They say absolutely nothing.

Stolas is like "Hey I'm sorry if I did anything to upset you last night" Blitz: "Whatever" Stolas: *Long paragraph about how he noticed Blitz was upset* "Asmodeous can be very invasive in humor, but I thought it was pretty funny myself" NO HE FUCKING DIDNT? STOLAS WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE??? Is this like a weird lie to cover up his discomfort or something stupid like ???? bruh??? "I enjoy being the subject of jest, you can come over and make fun of me"

Blitz: "sure" ????????????????? What is this????? They arent talking at all! It's just Stolas rambling worrisome nonsense and Blitz being emotionally stunted and not talking back! and then in seeing stars the texts are like "thanks for helping with Via! We don't have to bang. you can keep the book if you want. Or we can just hang out!" and blitz is like "whatever im busy" Blitz types "get better soon :(" to Stolas and Stolas is like "thank you, come visit me!" and Blitz doesn't respond.

Rose petals are slowly falling off in the background, as Stolas waits for a reply that never comes. He finally sets down his phone. I think this is supposed to be like weirdly symbolic, a "he loves me, he loves me not" and when all the petals are gone and Stolas puts down his phone, probably finally giving up his crush on Blitz realizing Blitz doesn't like him back and will probably give Blitz those crystals to get his book back. Blitz and Stolas' relationship has turned so sour and weird in season 2. It's such an unhealthy relationship. Like it wasn't great in season 1 either but season 2 the context makes it far worse. Blitz has been using this guy for decades and its just being romanticized.

Also tho..... Stolas is surrounded by get-well bouquets? Who sent these to him???? He has no friends! The Goetias think he's pathetic... the imps and lower class hate his ass..... like ... did weird rabid fans send them??? Where did these come from!! Anyway, if Stolas doesn't rant to the media that his own wife tried to have him killed, exposing the domestic drama going on in his home, I'm gonna throw a fit. This is his perfect opportunity to finalize his divorce. Sure, he could risk putting his "cheating" with Blitz into the spot light but like... people already know about that so ??? All the more proof to stack against Stella? That she's out for revenge? This is a scoop! Hell would be eating out of the palm of his hand! There's also weird compositing in this episode. Why are these scenes composited??????? These aren't dramatic serious scenes! This is the silly B plot!

Also the Striker statue falling... is just a flat png skdgjlfkgj whats going on with the budget of this episode

This ep was ridiculous. But Moxie and Millie vs Striker genuinely had me smiling and excited. I miss when this show actually had me interested....

Crackpot time!

Ok so this may sound really jumbled because my brain is going at stupid miles an hour. BEAR WITH ME. not everything is thought out 100% and that's ok, that's why it's crackpot

We've got Azirapahle stuck in a fake scenario. Maggie isn't quite right, everyone in Whickber Street acts as though it's the perfect community and is definitely not how it was in Season 1, I think we can all agree on that.

Crowley knows something is up, and he's playing it cool. He's probably actually managed to infiltrate the 'fake' Crowley and replace him. So now we have a reason for the changing sideburns, hair etc.

Nina... is probably someone genuine, she seems like she's the most normal human ever, and she questions everything. She's suspicious, and that's how humans are.

Gabriel in the meantime has gone missing. He visits the Bookshop. the rest of the Archangels are looking for him, they visit Aziraphale. We already know from Season 1 they're possible at capturing him... and they've learned from previous experience that if you want to not cause issues with Azi, you don't drag him away in the middle of a park.

The 25 Lazarii miracle (I want to think) was trying to protect not just Gabriel's body, but the fly as well (his memories, but i'm pretty sure it's only that, i don't think it also means his angelic powers.) An Archangel of that station is going to take quite a miracle... and Gabriel could still do miracles even if he doesn't know what he's doing. that's the problem. Azi and Crowley say a half-miracle, Jim doesn't understand the memo and POOF. large scale miracle sending purple plumes into the sky. All he wants to do is help, bless you Jim.

Here's where I'm getting really crackpot.

The archangels managed to find a body to inhabit. Jim looks odd when he's reading the books... that vacant look on his face and the weird camera cut is so so so bizarre. Something Definitely Happened. Jim is an empty shell at this point. Easy to take over an empty shell... and there's no furniture in heaven...

And then he looks suspicious again later on. off the top of my head i can't remember what episode. i'm thinking Job? Another one? idk, you may already know what i'm on about. there's sus music going on too.

So we've got an infiltration into the bookshop, we've got angels carefully probing Aziraphale's memories, and Crowley slowly keeping an eye on things because he knows something is up but he can't get in the way. he's probably changing how things are seen because you bet your ass he doesn't like the fact his hair was so frizzy. of course he smoothed things over. That's not Aziraphale's doing... Azi loves him as he is. Crowley on the other hand wouldn't be seen dead usually with hair looking so off.

But my main point was this: When Aziraphale gets into the lift... that's not the Azi we know. That's an Angel who has managed to find the information that he or she or they needed and has succeeded.

They've manipulated Aziraphale's surroundings enough that he gave up what they were looking for. Evidence of him working so closely with Crowley, Gabriel, Beelzebub, all of it. They've proven that he's not fit to be on Earth. He's finally had his Trial, and they can now punish him.

Aziraphale, my dear, things are going to get so so much worse for you now.

Sodo on Duty

969 words

Why him, Sodo wondered? But he knew the answer. Because he was in charge when Papa and Aether were away. Because Swiss, Rain, and Petrichor were all conveniently missing. Because Mountain and the ghoulettes had already gone to sleep. He was the only ghoul for the job, but arguably the least suited for it. He certainly wasn't opposed to offering Ardis his companionship for the evening in Aether's absence, but he felt ill-equipped to do it. They were hardly close.

The phone call had come in just after 10pm. Papa and Aether's meeting with the audio engineer a few towns over had run much later than they expected, they told Sodo, and they wanted Ardis to know they'd be a while. They'd also asked Sodo to keep her company until they got back, if he wouldn't mind. He'd agreed, of course – he was a night owl, and planned on staying up for another few hours anyway – but now he felt a bit awkward. Thinking about it, he couldn't remember having ever spent time with her one-on-one before.

Sodo found the angel in the kitchen finishing off a glass of water. Not wanting to startle her, he knocked on the door frame before speaking. "Ardis?"

She turned to face him. "Oh, hi, Sodo," she greeted him politely. "What's up?"

"Papa called," he informed her as he stepped into the room. "They've been delayed. He and Aether won't be back for another two hours or so."

He watched her smile fade. "Ah, okay. Thanks for the heads up." She was always easy to read. It was no secret that she loved those men, and she clearly missed them even though they'd only left that afternoon.

"You're more than welcome to join me while you wait for them to return," he offered as he'd been instructed. "I'm just watching TV in the den."

Ardis smiled again. "That would be nice. Thank you." She followed him back to the den, grateful for the company. They entered the room and Sodo returned to his spot on the couch, motioning for Ardis to join him. The TV was still on from earlier. She took her seat and immediately snuggled into his side as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It startled Sodo for a moment, but he made himself relax and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. He'd forgotten how affectionate she was. It's not that he was opposed to it, but rather that he wasn't used to it. He rarely gave or received affection outside of what was choreographed on stage. Sure, he and Aether might share a spontaneous one-armed hug from time to time, but nothing like this.

"What are we watching?" she asked, looking up at him with a little smile on her face. She turned off her halo and wings so they wouldn't glow too brightly in the dim room.

"It's one of those American shows," he answered, having regained his composure. "Kitchen Nightmares – that, eh, Gordon Ramsay thing, with all the terrible restaurants. Have you ever seen it?"

"I don't think so," she answered as she turned her attention to the screen.

"I think you'll find it amusing," Sodo said with a smile. "He tries to come in and fix these failing businesses, but the owners are always incompetent."

They watched together in near silence, only occasionally laughing or murmuring in response to what happened in the show. Sodo's heart couldn't help but melt a bit every time she giggled. Occasionally she would let out a little yawn and nuzzle herself further into his side. She was so cute. He'd never realized it before, but he supposed she was rather fond of him. He'd been keeping a polite distance for the past few months – there was no reason to intrude on her time with Aether. However, she seemed to like and trust him just as much as any of the other ghouls.

A couple of episodes in, a dim glimmer of light beside him caught his attention. Glancing to the side, he caught Ardis's halo ever so slightly flickering back on before vanishing again. When he looked down at her, he saw why.

She'd fallen asleep.

Sodo felt his pulse quicken. What was he supposed to do? Wake her up? No, that seemed rude. It was best to let her sleep. She was clearly rather comfortable. How long had she been asleep? He would do his best to keep still so he wouldn't disturb her. She was using him as a pillow, after all. It was as if a kitten had dozed off in his lap. She was so small, even compared to him. He had a few inches and quite a few pounds on her. Why did he want to kiss her forehead? He wouldn't, of course – that might wake her up – but it alarmed him that he wanted to at all. He wasn't the cuddly, kissy, lovey-dovey type. That was Papa, Aether, Swiss, the ghoulettes... just about anyone other than him, actually. He was stoic. That was his thing.

His mind quickly cycled through various emotions – annoyance, confusion, anxiety – before eventually landing on adoration. This was incredibly sweet, he admitted to himself with an air of defeat. Her fluffy hair felt soft against his cheek as he let himself gently rest his head against hers. He felt flattered, in a sense, that she felt safe enough around him to fall asleep. Maybe he should try to spend more time with her. Aether and Papa were wrapped around her finger, after all, and she seemed like a sweet girl. Speaking of Aether and Papa, he imagined they'd be home soon. He was content to let her rest there with her head on his shoulder for as long as they took.

omg pleeease elaborate on Pip and Satan some more 🙏 I love the idea of them getting along really well

ooo yes! I do love them too, & I don't think their relationship is talked about enough.

-After s1ep10 when Satan & Damien return to Hell, Damien can't stop talking about his new friend Pip. Satan is glad his son finally made a friend, despite the firework incident. He gently scolds Damien for his behavior, & suggests that the next time they meet, he apologize. That last part flies over Damien's head because all he heard was *there's a next time!??!?*

-Okay so referencing the third part of this fic, I like to think Pip & Satan's first official in-person meeting wouldn't be polite introductions, but rather just another being that is in need of help, right now. Satan would feel bad for the kid, having to go through something so traumatic so young. Pip's situation also strikes a chord of empathy within him, as he is a fallen angel as well & has very similar scarring on his back (though he's careful not to let it show).

-You think Pip's a crier? Just wait until you meet Satan. Any cliché thing that would typically be a tear-jerker has the king bawling like a baby.

-They both enjoy classical music & tea. Before they met, Damien thought that "tea time" was stupid & a waste of time, but now, seeing his first friend & his father so happy, maybe it's not as stupid as he thought... especially when they find a tea that he enjoys.

-Satan treats this kid like a son. Especially after learning about Pip being an orphan, having gone through many fosters, & an adoption fail? Oh yeah, he's not letting that just slip by. Similarly to how Satan sat & explained addiction to Stan, he sits Pip down & lets him vent, having kept his poor emotions bottled up & putting on a happy front. & vent Pip does. This is the first adult in a long while (I'm not forgetting about Joe) who is actually listening to him, & Pip feels heard. Satan is a close father-figure to him after that.

-Continuing with this parental-figure idea, an animatic worked its way into my head a few months ago while listening to "Christmas Time In Hell", of Satan giving Pip his first real holiday experience, taking him & Damien around Hell to gaze upon the celebrations. (The kids also hitch a sort-of piggyback ride, each one on either shoulder, as Satan's fucking huge). He knits the Brit a Christmas sweater alongside Damien that year, & continues to do so every year.

-They indulge in cheesy Hallmark movies, much to Damien's (feigned) annoyance.

-With Pip being there now, this helps Satan realize even further that he doesn't need to pursue a romantic relationship to be happy; he is perfectly content & happy being a father & having that familial love instead.

-Upon Satan's death, Pip takes it very hard. He thought he would handle it better, what with death being a very prominent thing that surrounded him & his family, but nope. He's grieving just as hard a Damien is. They each have a Satan-shaped hole in their hearts, & help each other get through it. They've both finally gotten the parental affection they craved (Damien's relationship with his father on the mend after Satan breaks-up with Chris, finally growing up & really being there for his son), only to have it ripped away from them too soon.

Ooh boy, sorry for the angst on that last one, but what did you expect? This is me we're talking about! thank you so much for the ask, anon! This one was really fun to do.

(& if you have any dip (opening it up to Satan as well!) headcanon requests, my askbox is open!)

#pip pirrup #damien thorn #south park satan #sp dip #pip x damien #south park headcanons #south park
