I Don't Think The Sign Or The Chains Were Ever Really Meant For Anyone Outside The Office In The First

Brandon rocking it

Well, hell is meant to be a circus

The fact that as soon as Stolas gave himself up, they just let IMP go and didn't take away their business or their crystal or anything.

This is a freaking weird court lol

You know what? I’m done grieving. I want Stolas to have a gun.

Ooh I didn't realize it was like that originally. i totally agree that the story works better how it is now (and I'm def not complaining, Oops is my favorite ep) but the angst potential, oof

does anyone else think about how in Oops, stolas never finds out that Blitzø was kidnapped with Fizz? I know obviously Crimson had no reason to show Blitzø in the ransom video, but I cannot stop imagining how this scene would have gone if Stolas had seen Blitzø tied up and gagged too

Gotta love how Stolitz is like... childhood friends to strangers to transactional fuckbuddies of the kinky kind to exes to *almost fucking die for each other* to roommates to "omg omg are we about to kiss rn 😳"

what they don’t tell you about making art is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

I'm so sorry to all my moots from the Good Omens fandom shit just hit the fan in the HB fandom 😭

"I'd like to add, your honor, that in addition to his unspeakable acts against our dear, beloved Stolas--"

Mastermind Timestamp Game~

Just copying what @warblogs17282 did for Ghostfuckers, and doing one for Mastermind since we're 10 days away from the episode release! How exciting! 😁

Claiming 13:26, it seems random enough, and I'm praying it isn't angsty. Please~

Just reply/reblog with your time, and when the episode releases, reblog with a screenshot.

some more book!husbands.

trying to make crowley's look scream "DICKHEAD" when you look at him and the he stands next to az and it screams "SUGAR BABY"

also when they get home:

Dialogue V.S Soliloquy

... and why we haven't really had a Helluva Boss love confession yet.

~*~ Spoilers Below for Mastermind ~*~

I've seen a lot of confusion on this topic floating around the internet and I thought I would offer up my 2 cents on the matter. Like, maybe Vivzie will come out with a tweet that proves this entire theory wrong or something but until then, here is my interpretation.

The song starts off as Stolas addressing the courtroom. He even leads into it saying something like "Lets do this the way I do best- with song." He then proceeds to play a sort of evil villain role, pretending that everything was all part of his evil plan and how dare this dumb little Imp try to take credit for his accomplishments- really playing up the condescension in a way that the Goetia will buy. He's playing to his audience with the ultimate goal of redirecting the blame from Blitz to himself. He's campy and dramatic the whole time until he gets to the line "And I have no regrets."

At that point you will notice a change in the background. As soon as he sings that line we suddenly aren't in the courtroom anymore but in this starry galaxy backdrop with feathers floating around and he immediately sings "I have regrets." Like, it's the very next line. "I have no regrets. I have regrets." The tone shifts from his silly villain monologue to something sadder and more somber. All of this combined is why I believe that this is when the song stops being an address to the court room and becomes a soliloquy.

If you think back to highschool when you were learning about Romeo and Juliet, that's when most people learn about soliloquy- A device used in theater to let the audience into the character's mind. It's usually shown as the character on stage by themselves, speaking their thoughts aloud so that we as the audience can know what they're thinking, but it's accepted that the other characters in the play cannot hear this part.

When Mastermind makes the drastic shift away from campy stage play into somber reverie, I believe this is meant to be a soliloquy. After all, the "I have no regrets. I have regrets" line wouldn't make any sense if Stolas was still addressing the courtroom. He doesn't want them to know he has regrets or that he's questioning everything or that he's even questioning why he's willing to throw everything away for this one man that he's not even on good terms with right now. Additionally, Blitz's parts in this song are his thoughts too: "What have you done?" and "I don't deserve this."

They were both screaming in their heads about how much they love each other but I don't think they've said it out loud, not to each other or anyone else. When Satan sings his part he doesn't comment on any of the lovey dovey stuff, just "Isn't that adorable, we've been betrayed by one of our own." He only comments on Stolas's performance from the beginning of the song. He goes on to talk about how Stolas's hubris had gotten the better of him, but nothing of his heart.

These two haven't confessed their love, they've just both accepted it. I think the purpose of the duet was to show that they're finally on the same page with what they want out of the relationship, but they've still got some work to do in regard to actually getting there. They've said it in their heads- now they need to say it to each other.
