to be fair i don’t think ozzie kept his relationship with fizz on the dl bc he’s an imp (he doesn’t seem concerned that people know they up have sex), but because of the whole lust/love thing. which is stupid, but it’s also vivziepop writing so whatchu gonna do 🙃

ozzie does seem to be one of the “better” upper class members in terms of how he treats other species (imps are allowed in his clubs, he regularly interacts with succubi/imp hybrids, everyone at his workplaces seem pretty happy and unlike stella and andre, he doesn’t seem particularly discriminatory or callous), but he still calls moxxie “little imp” (granted he is literally little and an imp and its a performance) and his imp boyfriend “froggy” which with the fire toad slur kinda raises eyebrows? this could also just be vivziepop Not Thinking but. hmm.

even bee who is shown partying and dating hellhounds, said to be even lower than imps, still runs the abusive adoption pound and signs her name on every adoption paper. she can cover it up with honey and a smile all she wants but she’s 1000% complicit in their oppression. like how does tex feel about that??? it reminds me of corporations who do all this virtue signaling for social justice but give billions to horrible causes. but i don’t think vivziepop understands that because again. rich background. “bee was nice to loona so its ok!!! deeper implications? what’s that?”

speaking of which, every time viv likes a tweet about how striker deserves nothing and is a toxic masculinity homophobe makes my blood boil. i don’t particularly like striker and i lost any interest in him after western energy but he and crim are really evidence that viv thinks “STOP BEING POOR” is a valid argument. also wasnt he flirting with blitzo in his first ep???? so like? huh???

i will say one reason i ship blitzstriker is because they seem to have similar views in regards to class (at least pre oops…) and i can totally see them staking it out on the run together. i can’t see fizz doing that, he flaunts his wealth and even tho he says “it’s nice being out of the spotlight” i cannot see this man surviving without luxury items for over a day loo. even in the circus, he always had the best clothes and was the main breadwinner and while the circus is said to be struggling, he never seems to be. i think that’s another reason i personally never got fizz’s insecurities, because he’s been the ace his whole life???? like as someone who has struggled a lot for ANY recognition or love it just makes him seem spoiled to be like “ozzie no luv me bc im not perfect :(“ i think your manipulator idea would make more sense.

anyway this turned into a ted talk. you dont have to answer everything. im realizing i actually hate what helluva boss is but i love the fanworks and the potential it had. sigh.

Isn’t it so funny how we have to pick which flaws are on purpose and which are just…Viv being a bad writer. Like we have to accommodate her forgetting or not caring enough to put the work in and review it after.

Paragraph 1: I definitely agree 100%, I like the part where the imp and succubi are his patrons, equal, including the butler who stolas abuses. Which feels like a very purposeful decision to contrast him with Stolas specifically. But there’s still the fact that Ozzies is so overpriced and exclusive and yet, rich folk like stolas can just waltz in without any reservation for free, by threatening the bouncer with…something. Violence? Imprisonment? Ruining his life? Honestly I wish we could have seen Jesse tell Stolas to fuck off, before he notifies the big man of what he just tried to do.

Paragraph 2: He is one thousand percent better, and he respected his employees who in turn liked him and weren’t scared of him. However he’s a better monarch, but still a monarchby and at the end of the episode he betrays his employees trust and uses intimidation and the threat of violence to silence them. Also froggy??? Really? Really? And got every time he says it the cringe levels are intense, it feels deeply deeply ooc.

Back to paragraph 1 again: the secrecy…it’s about the inexplicable anti love thing, but I’m just saying I think fizz feels that way. Like in that article I keep referencing they say things like “heart hoarded by an imp?!” Which I suppose is equivalent to anti imp racism in hell. Stereotypes of them being untrustworthy selfish beings. Which is also the fuel for Stolas’ fetish. It just really pissed me off the way Asmodeus said “still getting your kink on with that feisty imp?” And stolas says “this imp has a business he runs” I was wayyyy to charitable to Asmodeus in the past and regret it so so much.

Paragraph 3: Many people point this out about Bee and I really hope her nice persona vanishes fast because it’s just ridiculous given her status and what she’s done. Why are your hellborn the most downtrodden of them all if you’re ohh so nice miss Beelzebub? And how the F could Loona not know who Beelzebub is??? Do her and Blitzø not realise who signed off on the adoption certificate? (Confirmed on Vivs patron that it was in fact Bee) why is Tex working as a bodyguard for verosika who calls him “my new hellhound” and yells at him, he also says he’s not paid enough to care about her issues. Sooo….why is he still in such a shitty position despite being with Bee. You’d think he’d at least be working because he wants to work but he doesn’t even seem

Paragraph 4: LITERALLY!!! Viv is such a privileged rich girl that her villains are poor. While she’s going on a world tour but raging at Twitter people criticising her pet character. She’s literally Stella and a Mammon: “Can you imagine not having money ahahhahh” — Viv describing why striker is so evil

Paragraph 5: another question is why would Blitzø being jealous of Fizz be such a bad thing? He didn’t want to cause the accident. But why would him hating how bad he is at making people laugh,,,make him bad? That’s why I love their arguments because neither is completely wrong or right. His father literally loves him more than his own son and as you said, he gets pampered the most and loved the most. He can’t stand someone not liking him for even five seconds which should be a character flaw, not endearing. But, Fizz doesn’t have a father at all, so he’s not completely wrong. And if his parents did abandon him and nobody would adopt him, that explains why he doesn’t feel good enough to be loved and why he needs audience approval. Viv just forgot to write that FUNDAMENTAL part into the f**king episode.

I love a good fish out of water story and seeing fizz slowly learn to fight beside his friend proving that their differences are compatible was great. By the end, Fizz seemed almost happier and freer by Blitzos side than by Ozzies side, but the goldfish is just put back in the bowl, which sucks.

Your last line made me almost laugh cry tbh because there’s enough lost potential to fill a fountain. The episode had such a strong start then around the breakdown things went south and it stopped being good. The status quo isn’t different at all and fizz just slightly shifted his destructive needs for affirmation onto a different royal.

I like the type and the imagery of this poster. Not just that but heading is very affective. "Toxic masculinity ruins the party again" - the sarcasm of this of this poster, the smile on the womens face it's almost like the poster is hiding a facade.

I like the illustration of the brain, the outline is what stood out to me. The colours go well together. The heading is very affective and it correlates to the illustration. The use of positives and negatives, not too much going on.

This post looks simple but very affective, the heading for this poster reciprocates the illustration, the scribes on the poster in my understanding is that the mind is going through a lot, almost like it's at war with it's self. Colours make it feel like it's a positive atmosphere but in reality it's really not. The heading is what stood out to me which is something I would most like use in my designs/zine.

What is it going to take for them to STOP hanging out with Moyo? I’m seriously curious. Because dude is fucking toxic.

I’m back in my Morgana feels and I’m so mad at what they did to her in the show. Even in Arthurian legends, she’s not entirely evil, even when the story is being told from Arthur or Merlin’s POV, she’s not what one would consider evil. She is on different sides of conflicts than they would be, but she’s also a healer and wise woman that helps those that come to her. She even brought Arthur’s body to be buried in Avalon when he died, despite being “enemies.”

I actually did a crap ton of research for my original modern king arthur story about Morgana's role in the various legends, and it's telling that the earliest versions of the story cast Morgan le Fay as a benevolent healer and ally of Camelot. IIIRC it's the Vulgate cycle that really cemented Morgan as the evil back-stabbing half-sister of Arthur.There was a brief resurgence of anti-hero Morgan in the 80s via the Mists of Avalon, but since then most modern retellings have clung to the evil hag trope for Morgan. Yay patriarchy and recycled storytelling...I also remember listening to a podcast that went into more detail on Morgan's connection to Merlin himself, but my internet research didn't mention that so much, so I'm not sure which versions of the legends detail that. Still, I haven't been able to shake the idea of lecherous old man Merlin teaching Morgan magic for the sole purpose of boning her (while she was still a child, iirc), so honestly I'm totally okay with Morgan just wilding out and tearing out his throat with her teeth. I just don't think Morgana was the adaptation of her character to do that.Also yes give me a million spinoffs of Morgana as the Lady of Avalon, kind and benevolent among peaceful groves of apple trees.

Is it too much to ask for an ironstrange fic that doesn’t bash steve rogers? We get it, Steve made a mistake not telling Tony, but Tony also made the decision to blame Bucky for what Hydra made him do. And Tony didn’t think that the world leaders running the Accords wouldn’t somehow become corrupt, maybe even secret members of Hydra?

Tony and Bucky are friends in the comics, but the movie writers HAD to create unnecessary conflict. I assume for toxic masculinity reasons.

Ok real talk though. If you are offended by someone suggesting men in general be kind to other people, to the point you are throwing a actual conniption fit about it like a toddler, you are - and I cannot stress this enough - a major fucking asshole.

so let me spin you a yarn

I’m home sick, desperately in need of supplies from the corner drugstore, and because of course this is how today is going, my car won’t start.

cool, whatev, it’s only like a half mile walk. worse things could happen. I put on clothes that won’t make me actually die in the heat but that are as baggy as possible because it’s a half mile walk down a p busy road and people are gross about yelling out their windows at anything passibly female traveling alone.

sure enough, maybe fifteen minutes in when I’m nice and engaged in my podcast, a dude slow-rolls up to me, windows open, yelling “hey, hey, baby, where you going?”

I ignore him until it’s obvious he’s willing to continue following me until he gets an answer. short and sweet and to the point: “fuck off, man, I ain’t interested.”

He gets all huffy and floors it away from the concept of rejection I guess, turning sharp around the next corner and out of my line of sight. I finish my walk to the drugstore, and panic the entire time about every possible kidnapping scenario, because I’m a crazy person. I text Andrew where I am, just in case the cops eventually need a last known location, and start the walk home.

sure enough, the guy absolutely was waiting for me. worst possible scenario, right? I watch him pull out of the side street he’d turned down as I walked past.

what he didn’t count on, though, was the minivan in his lane coming to a complete stop to turn left, meaning that all his careful waiting and stewing resulted in him slamming on his breaks to avoid rear-ending the minivan, yelling “Ho!” at me out the car window and speeding off around the confused minivan while I died laughing.

I hope it’s a moment he remembers for years to come when he lies awake at three am staring at the ceiling going over every tiny embarrassment

The Moyos of the world will continue to exist until the Jenss & the Aarons in their life hold them accountable. Toxic masculinity in adolescent/grown men can be changed by men educating men.
