to be fair i donât think ozzie kept his relationship with fizz on the dl bc heâs an imp (he doesnât seem concerned that people know they up have sex), but because of the whole lust/love thing. which is stupid, but itâs also vivziepop writing so whatchu gonna do đ
ozzie does seem to be one of the âbetterâ 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 doesnât seem particularly discriminatory or callous), but he still calls moxxie âlittle impâ (granted he is literally little and an imp and its a performance) and his imp boyfriend âfroggyâ 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 sheâs 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 donât think vivziepop understands that because again. rich background. âbee was nice to loona so its ok!!! deeper implications? whatâs that?â
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 donât particularly like striker and i lost any interest in him after western energy but he and crim are really evidence that viv thinks âSTOP BEING POORâ 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 oopsâŚ) and i can totally see them staking it out on the run together. i canât see fizz doing that, he flaunts his wealth and even tho he says âitâs nice being out of the spotlightâ 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 thatâs another reason i personally never got fizzâs insecurities, because heâs 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 âozzie no luv me bc im not perfect :(â 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.
Isnât it so funny how we have to pick which flaws are on purpose and which are justâŚViv 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 thereâs 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 withâŚsomething. 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 werenât scared of him. However heâs 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 secrecyâŚitâs about the inexplicable anti love thing, but Iâm just saying I think fizz feels that way. Like in that article I keep referencing they say things like âheart hoarded by an imp?!â Which I suppose is equivalent to anti imp racism in hell. Stereotypes of them being untrustworthy selfish beings. Which is also the fuel for Stolasâ fetish. It just really pissed me off the way Asmodeus said âstill getting your kink on with that feisty imp?â And stolas says âthis imp has a business he runsâ 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 itâs just ridiculous given her status and what sheâs done. Why are your hellborn the most downtrodden of them all if youâre 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 âmy new hellhoundâ and yells at him, he also says heâs not paid enough to care about her issues. SoooâŚ.why is he still in such a shitty position despite being with Bee. Youâd think heâd at least be working because he wants to work but he doesnât even seem
Paragraph 4: LITERALLY!!! Viv is such a privileged rich girl that her villains are poor. While sheâs going on a world tour but raging at Twitter people criticising her pet character. Sheâs literally Stella and a Mammon: âCan you imagine not having money ahahhahhâ â 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 didnât want to cause the accident. But why would him hating how bad he is at making people laugh,,,make him bad? Thatâs 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 canât stand someone not liking him for even five seconds which should be a character flaw, not endearing. But, Fizz doesnât have a father at all, so heâs not completely wrong. And if his parents did abandon him and nobody would adopt him, that explains why he doesnât 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 thereâs 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 isnât different at all and fizz just slightly shifted his destructive needs for affirmation onto a different royal.
