So there was a bit of an incident that happened on Tiktok with Striker. In the ‘Wake Up Sleepyhead’ video, there were a few people who mistook Striker for Moxxie which led to another video for fun (@whenimgoodandready knows about that video), but after that, that led to another video idea and here we are.

Don’t lie, he’s absolutely rocking the suit.

The latest chapter of Cowboys and Angels had this scene where Solrina was going to wrangle a bull for her final task and I wanted to draw that scene so bad! Again, I’m not good at drawing bovine, but I think I did an okay job on this one.

I got bored and decided to sing Asmodeus’s parts in the “House of Asmodeus” song from Episode 7.

If I’m being honest I feel like I need to work on my rifts. :/

Knowing Blitzø’s sneaking streak, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to drop in on Solrina and Striker every now and then.

Chapter 6 of Cowboys and Angels is finally up.

I might have had a little too much fun with this one, but can you blame me?

Heavy spoilers for Cowboys and Angels, but I just couldn’t wait as soon as I heard this audio on Tiktok.

With Chapter 4 of “Cowboys and Angels” up, I can finally upload this image.

This was the outfit Striker gave Sol to use for the day. Simple, but effective for the day to day life of a rancher

Even though this wasn’t the exact moment Sol fell in love with Striker, I just had to do the meme :3

Cowboys and Angels Chapter 4 is up. Hope ya’ll enjoy.

As soon as I heard the Iced coffee bit, I knew this would be a Blitz line. I was hoping someone did a video with him on Tiktok but alas it wasn’t made… until I got my hands on the audio.

Oh and in case you guys are wondering why the @ says ‘cowboyncanary’ is because that account is strictly going to be Helluva Boss content, unlike Orcafangirl1997 (I just do random stuff on there from time to time).

Chapter 1 of Cowboys and Angels has officially dropped! Hope ya’ll will enjoy it and hopefully Chapter 2 will be done ASAP.

Well… After trying time and time again it seems I’ve finally snapped… I’ve certainly got a lot of explaining to do… <<;

To make a long story short, without spoiling the story I hope to write about this, Solrina’s taking the reins of this rodeo that is love.

While it’s true that there is a lot to unpack about Cowboy Imp and Canary Angel, it also meant that I was probably not going to be able to draw all of it.

Therefore, I’m going to write their story on Fanfiction and AO3 (as soon as I get signed up). I’d also like to apologize if my writing sucks; it’s been a little too long since I’ve written fanfiction.

I really need to give Solrina a different dress; it’s not even a dress it’s actually one of Striker’s shirts! XD

This may not be her official dress, but it’s a nice design and thought Sol would wear this.

Even though this doesn’t happen in the game if one of your characters is a vampire, I just thought this was a cute idea to play out.

I can’t believe I JUST fucking realized this…

Complaints about fan service in Helluva Boss

Somebody reblogged a post of mine, adding that they think Stolas and Blitzo will end up together only because of the shipping. Using helluva boss critical hashtags and all. And I’ve seen more people complain about fan service in Helluva Boss. Mostly about stolitz, but about other stuff as well.

When an episode comes out, it has already been planned and written months ago.

They already started writing for season 2 before episode 2: loo loo land came out.

The “House of Asmodeus” animatic was made in 2020, the actual episode came out in October 2021.

They already finished the recording/voice acting for the next season months ago and season 1 isnt even finished yet. Meaning the end of season 2 was already determined months ago too.

Viv even talked about that she already had ideas for Blitzos character arc after multiple seasons. She said that before loo loo land came out. And ofcourse ideas change, but still.

A lot of fans and critics seem to think that these episodes are made one at the time. (That they only started working on ep 2 after ep 1 was released for example). But that’s not how animations works. All the writing and voice acting is done. And while one episode in the storyboard phase, another is in the animation phase and another is in the cleanup phase, etc. all at the same time.

Everything we see has already been planned long ago, without being influenced by the fans. The majority of the things that happen, happen because the writers want them to, NOT because of the fandom.

It seems like fan service, because there is so much time in between the releases of these episodes. Enough time for the fans to express what they want, regardless if that actually happens or not. Because of that, if it does happen, it looks as if the fans had some influence. Even when they don’t.

The creators even talked about future episodes having “accidental fan service”. “Accidental” being a key word here. (I’m fairly sure they were talking about the kiss scene in episode 6, but dont quote me on that). Viv and Brandon wrote something a long time ago, before the show had a proper fanbase. But it so happened to be exactly what most fans wanted, so it looks like fan service.

It does make sense to be wary of fan service in a possible season 3 however. Now that the show properly established itself and the fandom has wants and expectations. If they start writing new stuff for season 3 now, it might be influenced by the fans a bit, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

I dont usually like ranting in fandom spaces, because fandom should be a hobby. You know….for fun. So if you disagree with my take, that’s fine.

Also it’s been a long time since I watched all of these livestreams, so if I got any of the information wrong, feel free to correct me.
