“Exes and Oohs”, the previous episode of Helluva Boss was praised for much better pacing, some new exploration for Moxxie and Millie and other aspects of improved writing, such as well-timed and thought-out flashbacks [48] [114] [115], even though a semi-censored dildo outbreak could have only been used during an arranged wedding or, alternatively, a failed attempt at seduction upstairs [4]. I like to think that its critical reception made up for those who were disappointed in the first two episodes of the second season for specific reasons [51] [52]. After re-reviewing the first two episodes of the first season [90] [91] [93] [94], I remained thankful for how the series has been some form of escapism for me [71] [72] [79] [126], despite a few troubles. As honoured as I was to be thanked by Eric Schwartz, the one who voiced Chazwick Thurman in “Exes and Oohs” who also approved of my ambition in reviewing episodes of the series and parodying songs during the fourth episode of “Who Fanarted” and as happy as I was to attend MegaCon in Birmingham for the second time as Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine back in March [48] [69] [107], I am delighted to review “Western Energy”, the fourth episode of the second season with my fellow sinners [29] [55].

Thankfully, Chaz was kept away from Lisa Cooper, even though there was a hugely missed opportunity for him to carry her while swimming in the depths of the Greed Ring’s sea and sing a reprise of “Chaz Time” to her [71] [72] [100]. What? He was a shark! Doo doo doo doo doo doo [74]! No booty called in his debut…well, except for the Blitzster’s [48] [83]. He is probably in Double Hell right now, so keep him out of my laboratory [46] [105]! [48]

As I re-reviewed “Murder Family” (which was NOT in only one minute [23]!) during the third anniversary of Animal Crossing: New Horizons [2] [96], I suspected that a new episode could focus on Blitzo’s business again [95]. Well, is that the case? The toxicity of Twitter may have almost ruined Helluva Boss for me before I took another hiatus from the platform [99], but I am still highly appreciative of the love for Lisa Cooper [41] [78]. Let us see if the hype for “Western Energy”, the fourth episode of the second season during and after the launch of Minecraft Legends has prospered [55] [64]. [55]

Where is Sutorasu Ouji, my owl daddy [97] [98] [124] [125]? As strikingly different as this interpretation of Stolas of the Ars Goetia is, compared to the interpretation of him from the Megami Tensei franchise [56], I personally think one of Puss In Boots’ previous eight lives ought to be a bodyguard for him [66]. Unfortunately, as seen in the first sneak peek of the episode, he is held captive by Striker. His sudden captivity was quicker than I thought it would be at the beginning of “Western Energy” [55]. I sure love how he pointed out how clichéd it is to be tied to a train track, yet I am a little unnerved by how he considers Blitzo’s kinks more…effective than Striker’s physical threats and attacks. In all seriousness though, I knew his likeability would be maintained if he angrily vowed to protect her if a menacing fiend even mentions her name, which is exactly what happens in “Western Energy”. How he ended up more seriously injured than the time he and the Blitzster got a little carried away with bear traps and was put into a hospital to be surrounded by bouquets that must be Get Well gifts from commoners is without a doubt one of the most emotional moments of the series.

For Stolas’ character in general, even after such a tragic moment, I am up for Stolas reflecting on what he can do to not only be an even better parent but an overall better person beyond his hardships [22] [76] [92] [93] [94] [124] [125]. Could he learn something from Striker’s other motivation for trying to kill him aside from how his sass and sex jokes made his damsel-in-distress moment a lot less clichéd [55] [80]? But for now, get well in the next episode or two, my owl daddy! [55]

Considering how a new angelic weapon greatly reduced his powers, what if…Stolas and his daughter are part-angel [32] [62]? Perhaps an ancestor of his was the fallen angel that began the Ars Goetia monarchy many, many years ago [32] [52]? Especially after such a tragic moment in “Western Energy”, the astronomical Goetia prince’s portrayal has come a long way since the pilot [50]. He is my owl daddy and he wished me a happy birthday two months ago [79]! [55]

Guess who is back for a cliffhanger from the first season finally being solved [53]? Striker, of course! I knew the rope for holding Stolas hostage seen in the trailer would not be any ordinary rope as it glows like an angel’s heavenly light but is still hellish under Striker’s use [55]! As intimidating as his close-up was in another preview on Twitter [35], his vengeful bitterness towards upper-class demons like the Ars Goetia can be considered quite similar to Shere Khan’s hatred towards mankind in The Jungle Book [59], which explains why there was not an opportunity for him to take advantage of Stolas’ sexuality [124] [125]. Striker is not voiced by Norman Reedus, but Edward Bosco instead, which is not a problem to me as Bosco’s performance is just as outstanding [6] [53] [55]. It appears that he has died due to being crushed by his own statue that has something…interesting [55]. However, it is likely that he will return in one piece in a future episode. His portrayal as a villain is still outstanding and a little more comedic than in “The Harvest Moon Festival” [53], considering how he almost killed Stolas after explaining one of his motives to him and so on.

Striker has been potentially fighting classism with classism before his battle against a husband and a wife [29] [55]. Can you imagine how he would react if he captured Stolas’ stunt double instead [58]? I would consider him one of the series’ most memorable villains. [55]

But in all seriousness, Stolas’ eyes as a trophy if he doesn’t die?! That is f**ked up, Striker!! And how are you NOT embarrassed by a statue of you having…something interesting?! [55]

Being a shark demon whose head briefly resembles Rayman’s [87], could Chaz have been an excellent swimmer before his plan to scam his ex-boyfriend’s father and deadly fate [8] [101]? What about Andrealphus, another new antagonist in “Western Energy” [55]? Since the I.M.P. are clearly antiheroes, has the writing of another new episode could ultimately make him an anti-villain besides the C.H.E.R.U.B. to make the cast of characters in Hades even more diverse [47]? Does his portrayal mean I will take back what I stated that him being an anti-villain would be fair for Stella and her supporters [52] [124] [125]? Well, not really. I would say Andrealphus is kind of like a villain sidekick, which I am not against as he still questioned Stella’s plan to get Stolas killed as it would indeed lead to Octavia becoming a princess in his place [29] [55]. How he suggested gaining benefits from Stolas still being alive for a little longer is a sign of him being more rational and logical, leading to his sister thinking twice before calling Striker to call off the attempted murder. Do Stella and Octavia spend weekends at Andrealphus’ place [52]? If so, Andrealphus’ relationship with his niece can be explained in a future episode as she does not appear in “Western Energy”, despite being mentioned [55].

Andrealphus is quite the villain sidekick, isn’t he, despite how he managed to convince Stella to delay Stolas’ murder after a new motive? His voice suits him amazingly! And not to mention his cryokinesis makes him the Helluva Bosse quivalent of Elsa from the Frozen franchise [16]! But aside from that, I would not make him call his own sister a “vixen” if I were one of the writers, but I do not think they would stoop THAT low. [55]

Since Andrealphus prevents Stolas from getting killed with his rather manipulative nature, I guess that technically makes him an anti-villain [29], but what could he try to gain from doing so in the next episode he will appear in? [55]

Stella is once again spiteful and villainous with no remorse for hiring Striker to assassinate an adulterer and has still not received any further depth beyond that aside from being convinced to delay Stolas’ murder by her more level-headed brother [55]. The problem some hazbeans have had with Stella since “The Circus” would apply to Kevin from Ed Edd n Eddy and Terrance from Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends [11] [24] [81]. Well, at least with Terrance being a teenage psychopath making his little brother’s life miserable for no reason [24], he gets karma for his misdeeds [11]. When will Stella get some form of karma or at least some backstory on why she is often so cruel [52] [55]? There is something quite amusing about Stella being the impulsive and remorseless one as her brother tries to talk some sense into her with a more logical approach, yet a moment of her realising that he would be right could lead to her finally getting a little depth, as well as karma [55]. Especially after Stolas’ recovery and relief from getting Stella out of his life, no way he would want his daughter to be in an arranged marriage like he was [52]!

Don’t be a betch, Stella! Let Stolas borrow that top after the divorce [82]! Any up for some milk tea after a sh** load of drama later [57]? [55]

As much as I would be up for Blossom’s bossiness and arrogance to be toned down to the point when she does not or learns not to shame Bubbles or Buttercup for having a comfort object in the next reboot of The Powerpuff Girls [26] [122] [123], I would be up to see Octavia remain beyond the “moody teenager” trope in a moment of her seeing her father in the hospital in possibly the next episode [93] [94]. [51]

Aside from how the Blitzster is considered a fairly written character, I still believe that he could be aromantic [114] [115]. What new task awaits him after the moment he was drugged by the eventually deceased Chaz [48]? I was quite shocked to witness him being a target for prejudice from another demon, especially after a misunderstanding when she heard him trying to reassure Loona during an appointment for her [55]. At first, it seemed like the inconsistency regarding his relationship with a certain owl daddy caused by the postponement of the eighth episode of the first season and the writing of “Seeing Stars” still has not been fixed during the moment when he gives a call from him during his captivity [51] [124] [125]. However, once a Hazbean gets a good look at his reaction to the aftermath of such a shocking moment and a short text message conversation between them, there is still…something there, along with a sign of some consistency fixed if one were to pause the episode and read some older text messages [55]. Surely, the series’ prime setting being in Hell is not exactly the best excuse for the characters’ questionable actions, but the Blitzster still had to right to defend himself from being a target for racism and classism.

Thank you dearly for not using the vile R-word again, Blitzo [55]. That would be my least favourite moment in the pilot [50]. Moreover, we can forgive the Blitzster for woohooing with Chaz in “Exes and Oohs” as it was cleverly used to later expose him for being a fraud…and he seems to care about Stolas deep down [48] [55]. Who knows what will occur in the rest of the second season and the third one [5] [124] [125]? [55]

The Blitzster may have been considered the Number One Boss Babe back in July 2020 [9], but I am sure there is some way that he can disrespect me, even though I am not the only one who thinks he is Deadpool’s brother from another mother [75]. If a flawed character is worth rooting for, use their flaws wisely, even though something must be done about the constant racist undertones in the series eventually, right [22]? [55]

Strangely enough, Loona did not say a word in “Exes and Oohs”. [48] A new focus on her character in “Western Energy” is her fear of injections [55]. This is quite like Kevin having a fear of needles in “This Won’t Hurt an Ed”, the thirteenth episode of the fifth season of Ed, Edd n Eddy [18]. Although the side plot has not really clashed with the main one all that well due to Loona and Stolas’ situations both being fearful, but on completely different levels with notably different tones, at least it is always fascinating to witness the more vulnerable sides of both important demons of the Blitzster’s life when it comes to not making them Mary-Sues [55]. Moreover, I think Loona overcoming her fear of needles, despite that mighty roar from getting jabbed by an oversized syringe would be more effective and a little more in character if she spoke after getting the shot, even if her voice would be muffled by a pet cone outside of the hospital. However, there is a completely understandable reason for her lack of dialogue in “Exes and Oohs” and “Western Energy". A possible cost-cutting decision during recording sessions. Hopefully, a bigger and more heart-warming role for the hellhound of the team will occur beyond her fury in another episode [51].

Just like Baymax said, having a lollipop is not age conditional [15]. Loona was quite beastly throughout the montage and the side plot is okay [55], but hopefully, she will get a speaking role in perhaps a more effective side plot or just one prime focus after her voice actress gets the support she needs during a difficult time and the budget for her future performances as the moody hellhound remains available [40]. [55]

My deepest condolences go out to the talented Erica Lindbeck and I am so sorry for her loss [40]. I wish her the best and I hope she is currently well. [51]

It was previously revealed that Moxxie was born in the Wrath Ring but spent most of his childhood in the Greed Ring and was a victim of an arranged marriage in what was a lot like the wedding scene in Beetlejuice [43] [63] [87]. I can see that Moxxie takes more of his mother, personality-wise despite spending most of his youth in the Greed Ring [43] [63]. Although it can be argued that it would make more sense for Blitzo to come and rescue Stolas instead, at least it is more consistent for Team M&M to battle Striker, reflecting on what happened in “The Harvest Moon Festival” [53]. Although it is slightly out of character it seems for Moxxie to fight a gang for confronting him about wearing a hat that looks a lot like the leader’s [55], it could be a sign of him progressing from the ridicule he got during the events of “The Harvest Moon Festival” and there was no sign of any of the gangsters being part of a seemingly wholesome family [53] [90] [91]. There is no need to insult the writers over a slight contraction in tweets [27] [43], but there would be a need for characters like Moxxie to keep progressing while being their likeable selves [48] [55].

At least Chaz did not give Moxxie any fruitcake in “Exes and Oohs” [48] [88]. As for Moxxie’s portrayal in “Western Energy”, he is once again noble as he vowed to fight Striker once again in honour of rescuing one of Hell’s princes. [55]

As enchantingly surreal as the pink buns of sakura burgers look [12], Millie is a co-starlet in red flesh instead [55]. I am glad that Medrano has addressed the criticism towards Millie rarely gaining any development besides being Moxxie’s badass wife after the release of “Exes and Oohs” [44] [48], even though there has been some skepticism of Hazbin Hotel not being more female-led [31] [45], despite the possibility of new continuity being established with new character designs [7]. As for Millie’s portrayal in “Western Energy”, she is still just a sidekick, but I still adore her loyalty to the I.M.P. cred and I like how she just wanted a straight answer regarding Striker’s whereabouts from a group of pint-sized singers rather than a song from them that will be explained later [55]. Perhaps an episode that will finally provide some even bigger progression for Millie will be the beginning of a third season, which could start with some backstory on how she and Moxxie first met [114] [115]. Perhaps there can be some relatable backstory for Sallie May as well, especially what it was like to be a young boy unsure about his gender before blossoming into a transwoman [53]. Moxxie and Millie may not have interacted with Stolas very much in the series, but I knew they would be able to rescue him [55]. 

Phew! That was a close one [55]! I still love Millie for being a self-empowerment female companion. Perhaps an official webcomic series based on Helluva Boss can focus more on the female characters at times to make up for some certain criticism [31] [44] [71]. [55]

What about the new minor characters? Unfortunately, the lady at the reception provides my least favourite joke of the episode [55]. Surely, dyslexic people deserve to receive great employment opportunities too, yet I understand that she is not a good representation of those with dyslexia. Let us not make the same mistake Sia made with “representation” of autism [112] [113]. About the other woman at the reception, I sure do not like how prejudiced and ignorant she was to Blitzo, especially right next to her child who has shared her views with him beyond public places [55]. And not to mention that shaming the unemployed is uncalled for! The doctor is a goat with a candle on his head, like how the nurse and receptionist has a pink flame above her hat, which vaguely reminds me of Dr. Mario and Dr. Fire Peach [110] [111]. The imps in a choir in the Wrath Ring for a song that, again, will be explained later seem a little too dedicated to it to the point where they unintentionally cause annoyance [55], much like the Mariachi Band from that episode of ¡Mucha Lucha! [60]. Once again, a couple of new minor characters have provided some different types of humour, even though some can be considered less funny than others [55]. 

I guess a few flames and medical care are meant to collide in Hell for some reason. [55]

I know I might sound a bit too serious as a fan of the series, but I can still enjoy the series, yet consider some aspects less favourable than others as I know to set boundaries outside of it [84]. Well, the hospital known as “St. An’s” is in the Sloth Ring of Hell [29], but again, that is probably not the best excuse for characters being utter a-holes. [55]

Oh my Satan! We finally get to see what the Sloth ring is like [29] [55]! As a sinner can tell by its sky, its signature colour is pink, meaning that the Envy Ring’s signature colour is purple and there is still some speculation of the Gluttony Ring’s signature colour being yellow after the second part of the Season One finale’s postponement [55] [118] [119]. Compared to the Pride Ring, Lust Ring, Greed Ring and Wrath Ring, the Sloth Ring is rather dreamlike with floating islands and a waterfall, which is fitting in terms of portraying symbolism of the sin of laziness [55]. I suspected that the building shown in the second sneak peek would be a hospital for hellborns due to the cross above the entrance and the sign that says “Surgical Wing” before the episode’s release [34]. As for the Wrath Ring, it can be expanded with a gas station and a mine shaft that is basically Striker’s hideout [30] [55]. Again, I know the side plot of Loona getting her jab does not fit in the much more serious main plot very much, but it is still intriguing to see what the Sloth Ring is basically like and the clashing at least worked with a moment that will be explained later.

It is refreshing to see a new ring in Hell [55]. What could there be in the Envy Ring? What else could there be in the others? I would not be surprised if there will be a parody of Love Island in the Lust Ring named “Lust Island” [42]. I know it makes very little sense to have weddings and priests in Hell [31], but maybe the priest during Moxxie and Chaz’s arranged wedding is a fallen angel. I think St. An’s needs Hell’s equivalent of Baymax from the Big Hero 6 franchise, even though he is an angelic from Robot Heaven [15]. [55]

As hard as I work on my reviews and song parodies [10] [103] [106] [109], I always look forward to listening to a new original song in a new episode. There is an upbeat country-styled theme song for Striker performed by imps crooning wherever he went on his horse, which unfortunately annoyed him and pushed him into demanding them to leave at the end of it, making me chuckle in amusement, yet I thought he liked singing about himself in “The Harvest Moon Festival” [53] [55]. There is also another country song titled “Whatcha Thinkin’ About?”, which is basically a song for two montages for the price of one as it suddenly becomes a pop song when a blade hits Striker’s radio [53]. It does not fit the battle between Striker and Team M&M, but in quite a funny way to clash with Loona going savage at St. An’s Hospital. What could be next? A partly promiscuous rap from my owl daddy after his recovery? A song regarding Stella’s vengefulness full of Disney villain vibes [1]? Andrealphus is not going to sing an evil equivalent of “Let It Go” from Frozen in a future episode, is he [16]? I cannot wait to hear more songs in the rest of the second season, no matter how much toxicity there will be on Twitter [93] [94].

I also wonder if Bryce Pinkham’s live signing on Instagram could lead to some inspiration for a moment of Stolas as a hooting lumberjack daddy after his recovery in the next episode or two [77]. Speaking of singing, rickrolling the lanky owl demon for the second time and hearing Eric Schwartz make a song out of one of my comments on the fourth episode of Who Fanarted? were worth it [72] [108]. [55]

I quite like how the wreckage of the wall in “Exes and Oohs” was a call-back to its destruction in “C.H.E.R.U.B.” [47] [48], but what about the writing in “Western Energy” [55]? Unfortunately, it is not without a few faults, despite its decent pacing. How did Stolas’ phone get repaired after getting broken by Striker? Was he holding a spare one this whole time? As previously mentioned, the side plot did not seem to clash that well with the main plot and might have worked better in a separate episode, but at least there was some convenience between them as Stolas ended up in the exact same hospital where Loona got her vaccination at. Strangely enough, “Western Energy” is the shortest episode of the second season so far. Perhaps there could have been some extra minutes featuring Octavia coming home to find out that Stolas has been hospitalised. Maybe that can be featured in the next episode while Blitzo is either finally comforted by his sister or dealing with Fizzarolli during a performance of his in the Greed Ring [124] [125]. Alternatively, some extra minutes added to “Western Energy” could show Striker ironically being still alive as he rises from the ground [55]. Despite a few hiccups regarding the writing, I still see the effectiveness of the main plot, especially what Stolas goes through.

Even though a noticeable change in tone in a new episode can be a little off-putting to an extent, it can lead to discovering a writer’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of managing different settings and plot points. Trust me, I know from experience as a writer who used to write possibly mediocre creepypastas [39] [65] [124] [125]. I can understand the goal to balance the edgy humour with some serious moments to provide some likeability for characters in Helluva Boss though [48] [49] [51] [52]. [55]

Why not make an official webcomic series based on the show or a spin-off centred on Crim, Striker or any smaller role with the most potential to be the main character of a spin-off following a direct chronological order like an animated film for a better chance of notably improved writing with much more consistency and a more effective continuity [71] [114] [115]? Or better yet, establish a chronological order to make the third season seem quite like a movie [5]! [48]

It may not be easy being a deviant in 2023 [73], but let us proceed to analyse one of the best qualities of Helluva Boss; the animation. The running of Striker’s horse is majestic with a mane and tail like Rapidash [17] [33] [55]. Like the fighting scene in “Truth Seekers”, there is some remarkable shot rotations during an impressively dynamic battle between Striker and Mr. and Mrs. Knolastname in “Western Energy”, which would be my favourite part of the episode. There is a variety of vibrant and detailed backgrounds, from the café named “Richest Cup” where Stolas is confronted about Stella and Andrealphus about the aftermath of a long overdue divorce to emotional tints of purple surrounding an injured owl daddy at the hospital [29] [55], highly similar to the purple darkness throughout the moment he gloomily performed “Stolas Sings” in “The Circus” [52]. The falling petals near Stolas’ hospital bed add to the emotional vibes of his uncertainty regarding his Blitzy as we all know that he just wants to be loved [55]. Even though there can be animation errors spotted by those with a masterful attention to detail, the animators and artists deserve a lot of praise for the hard work they have put into the visuals. 

Hopefully, Crimson’s mansion has not been completely burnt down [48] [102], possibly resulting in a Mortal Kombat reference [104]. As for Andrealphus’ ice palace, it is absolutely stunning [36] [55]! The beans of a sunset-like tint of pink during Stella and Andrealphus’ conversation in its tearoom reminds me of Elsa being consumed by fear in her ice palace in Frozen [20]. [55]

As some of you know, I am still quite an art lover. Aside from how the characters’ moments are lively and some of their expressions are priceless, those roses sure look intimating with one eye each! Kudos to the artists and animators once again! [55]

Due to copyright reasons associated with A24 as hinted by the redesigns for the Hazbin Hotel television series [7], I would say that Helluva Boss might technically not be considered a spin-off of Hazbin Hotel anymore, despite how both shows are set in the same universe [46] [50] [93] [94]. However, if there ought to be another episode of Helluva Boss featuring Loo Loo Land, but rebuilt with perhaps some new attractions and such, the front of the Fun House ought to resemble Lucifer’s updated design if that would be legally possible or in a slightly different design [48] [49], much like how C.A. Cupid’s appearance changes when she enters Ever After High [21]. I still believe there can be a spin-off of either series in the future, such as a spin-off of Helluva Boss focusing on more of Crim’s legacy as an evil mafia boss and a spin-off of Hazbin Hotel centred around Alastor’s career as a radio host and how he became a serial killer in the 1920s [46] [48]. And who knows? A spin-off could turn out to be better written than the main series. With enough ambition, another spin-off, along with an official webcomic series can provide some further exploration in the depths of Hell.

Surely, Lucifer’s cameo in “Loo Loo Land” may not have aged well [46] [49] [93] [94], but at least we will see other icons in Hell in the next episode or two, such as Mammon [124] [125]. [49]

In either this June, July or August, the next chapter of Charlie’s dream to tell awaits sinners wanting to have a better afterlife but needing to deserve it [7] [45]. But in the meantime, I want those bringing up current drama involving SpindleHorse, the fandom and so on to leave me and many others alone [13] [93] [94] [124] [125]. [46]

It looks like the cliffhanger has finally been solved…only to lead to another [53] [55]. I sure hope the next episode will be a follow-up. Whether the Hellaverse fandom has gone downhill or not [13] [67], “Western Energy,” the second fourth episode of Helluva Boss was quite worth the wait [29] [55], despite not being as well-written as “Exes and Oohs” [48] [114] [115]. I wish to not be considered “incapable of forming my own opinion”, “confused”, “unable to think for myself” or “going woke” for associating other people’s opinions on each episode to prevent bias as that was how I felt when I was a creepypasta fan in the mid-2010s [85] [93] [94] [124] [125]. We absolutely do not need reality television shows corrupting their stars’ and possibly their audiences’ well-being anymore [3] [37] [38]. We need our escapisms to carry on progressing along with us [76]. As our bronies and pegasisters are preparing to party with My Little Pony: Bridalstock as a start to the fourth chapter of a fifth generation this Summer [61] [112] [113], I am still up for an official webcomic series by SpindeHorse helping the series’ raunchy and demonic legacy excel even further [55] [124] [125], yet I can understand why some hazbeans still miss the days of the old Voxtagram stories [9]. How about a Makaton or BSL (British Sign Language) dub of Helluva Boss someday [25]? 

I once again thank the talented and charming Eric Schwartz for complimenting my ambitions in reviewing episodes of Helluva Boss and so on [69] [70] [71] [72]! I am not “unintelligent” for adoring the show and I have every right to point out its redeeming qualities and praise its improvements without being judged harshly for doing so [114] [115]. [48]

There is more to look forward to throughout the rest of 2023. Rayman’s big return to 3D gaming ought to be worth it this Autumn [86]. What can I say? I am always up for some cartoon craze [116] [117]. Speaking of cartoon craze, there is still the rest of the second season of Helluva Boss to die for [124] [125]. Moreover, I am thinking of reviewing the fifth and sixth episodes of the second season together to take some time off the anxiety from drama [13] [93] [94]. I still do not think I can part with VivziePop’s Hellaverse and my love for it. I hope my owl daddy gets well soon! Hopefully, he will never leave his Blitzy [68]. Stay sinful! [55]
