Mid-Season Special Q&A

At the end, I'll have a little game for you :)

All questions I ended up getting were on Tumblr, so all the usernames are from there.

If you were a demon in this version of hell, where do you think you'd end up?

Hmmm . . . I think I'd be one of the fish demons like Glitz and Glam, just less, er, s*xualized. Or a shark demon and a succubi? I haven't really thought about it, but we'll go with the hybrid idea.

Which of the 7 deadly sins are you hoping they introduce next?

….sloth… haha! I just really wanna see what they come up with for the laziest demon of all time.

Do you have any favorite headcannons you haven't been able to put into your fan fic yet?

Tons! Some of which I've thought of, some that other's have thought of that I totally agree with. I'll give just a few examples of the ones I came up with here:

Via will eventually grow taller than both Loona and Stella, but still shorter than Stolas.

Blitz is one of those people who has no idea how to hold or what to do with a baby. He doesn't hate them, he's just extremely awkward and kind of intimidated by them.

Millie is type 1 diabetic and has a dexcom.

Who is your favorite Cannon ship?

. . . Fizzmodeus. I know, I know. Basic, and not what this fanfic is about. They are just so healthy, and goals, and relatable, and representation, that I can't handle. Though, I'm not sure I could write about them unless it was an AU or from in the past before they started dating, because they are great at communication, and so trying to make them have problems to solve would be difficult to make conflict for them to overcome in a story. That's why Stolitz is so great, 'cause they suck so bad at talking lol

Okay… quick question for ya! What's ya favourite Helluva boss character? Don't mind me being curious!

Why ya gotta make me choose?! Okay, but it probably flip flops between Stolas, Fizz, and Ozzie. All the hot gays, and twinks. No I don't have a type. Your mom has a type.

What is your most favorite time of the year?

Summer! I will always pick being too hot over being too cold. All my favorite foods are in season, like watermelon and corn. I get to spend time with my little cousins who are on summer vacation, and visit the family cabin that feels smaller with each baby my Uncles and Aunts have. Walk on grass, visit a holi festival. Get sunshine and vitamin D. It's the best. Fall is a consolation prize with halloween and my birthday.

Whats your favorite movie?

Ooo, depends on the genre. All studio Ghibli movies, obviously. Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind and Kiki's delivery service are my favorites of theirs. Megamind is a childhood classic. Dark Waters is spooky and educational. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is relatable. And then all the sci-fi and fantasy that you can fit in a shelf.

Anonymous asked

Do you have any recommendations for things to watch or read like Helluva boss?

Hazbin Hotel, obviously. Maybe Good omens, which I cannot get over how they ended season 2. Why are writers like this?! (I say, as a writer). Other than that, no not really. This may come as a surprise, but I'm actually pretty new to the fandom. I saw the trailers for both shows when they first came out, but didn't really get obsessed with them until early fall this year. I'd happily take recommendations though! I've heard the witcher is similar in cool lore and adult themes while being much more on the dramatic side of the drama vs comedy scale, but I haven't seen it.

What kind of ending do you think is going to happen canonically?

I don't want to believe that Stolas is going to die, but the fan theories and foreshadowing I've seen all seem to point in that direction. If it does, I don't know how I'm going to handle it. I'll be a puddle of tears. If not though, surely Blitz and Stolas will just hold hands at the end, subtly implying that they get together.

Are you gonna include any other of the deadly sins?

Probably not, unless for some reason they come up. I might include little references to them like I have Angel Dust, and Alastor, but currently, it's not in the plans.

Do you think Blitzo and Stolas will ever figure out how to have a healthy relationship?

. . . Maybe! I hope so!

moviemuncherao3 asked

What's your favourite Helluva Boss song? Mine was House of Asmodeus, but now it might be Crooked (I love Ozzie's voice so much).

Oh dear, what to choose? My favorite underrated ones are My world is burning down around me, Juggling is Kool, and Cashin' a Muthaf**kin' Wedding. Addict is always going to be amazing. I would've said 2 minutes notice, but my dear editor would not stop listening to for a week straight, which didn't ruin it for me, but did bump it out of 1st place. I guess I have to go with Crooked, as it's the one I listen to the most.

Do you ship Loona and Via? Are they gonna kiss or anything in this fanfic?

Actually, I don't. Not only is Octavia a minor, they are 5 years apart in a time in their lives where that's a big deal. (If the were 37 and 42, it wouldn't be a problem) I'm pretty sure Loona is straight, and they make such cute sisters and friends.

I started this fanfic wanting to make it kind of ambiguous so that if you are a Loona x Via shipper, you could interpret it that way. But as I've written it, I've begun to start thinking that Via would develop a little crush on her, as teenagers are want to do, while Loona sees her as a kid sister, as adults should. Eventually, Via's crush fades, and her attention may shift elsewhere, and she starts seeing Loona as a cool big sister. I'm not sure if I'll include all this in the story, but that's my headcannon.

The TLDR is, that no, they will not kiss.

dramamines asked

what was your original inspiration, and how did you bring it to life?

I'm not really sure. I was mostly just annoyed at how long it was taking for them to get together and so I decided to take things into my own hands. Basically it started with the thought, "damn these two are just so perfect for each other but they can't see it because of their misconceptions and prejudices. If only they could start over and get to know each other all over again without knowing it's each other." *Le gasp*

And thus the Faceless Love app was born. And then all the meddling monkeys came after just to make it more fun.

which character has been the hardest to write?

Overall, Octavia. I've mentioned it before in an author's note, but by golly, that girl doesn't get enough screen time so remembering her personality to speak from her point of view can be hard.

But Blitz is actually harder, but only when I'm trying to write him as genuine. He is such a snarky goober and I can write his dipsh*t personality all the live long day, but he almost never speaks genuinely from the heart, so I'll often slip into Stolas's voice on accident. Little round of applause for the editor, everyone. This fic would be way worse without them. (Let me know in the comments if you actually clapped so I can tease them about it later.)

polarhorror asked

What's the strangest thing you have written?

I have no idea! I've been writing stories since kindergarten, and I haven't kept record of all of it. Though recently I came across this gem in an old Google docs folder from who knows when:

Kids in a mahñgicjal school. One from another country learning as much as they can about languages. Another was doin the same and used to lick our gangsters but recently stopped caring and wanted to make his own graffiti jus one. The new underclass finds him. He thinks he's busted but she's just curious as to why. Ends up joining in, but they don't Judy do tags, they make starsl wgmeaningful art.

I know I meant kids in a magical school. The rest of it . . . I, well, you're guess is as good as mine.

I also wrote in my 7th grade creative writing class about a main character's best friend and love interest being a table that had been zapped with a sci-fi anthropomorphizing ray. Yes, an actual table that walked around and talked. I wrote it unironically, and I. . . I have no defense.

Will your fanfic have a happy ending?

Haha

Hahaha

Muwahahahahaahahahhahahaah!

. . . Maybe. I'm not tellin'!

Do you prefer stolas or blitz

To be more relatable

Ooo, in a relatable way? Still Stolas because he seems kinda neurodivergent and the struggle to stay in the closet and hide your queerness is very relatable.

Have you written any other fanfiction?

Or stories in general?

Yes, and yes! I had an old Quotev account that I actually shared with my editor back in the early days of the Internet when sharing accounts was common because why bother making 2? I wrote some original works and some fanfiction, and got suuuuuper jealous of my editor who wrote a really good Ouran Highschool Host Club Fanfic that got tons of views, but everything I wrote and made, barely got any. In hindsight, I know that they were just older than me, so all of their skills were going to be better than mine. But at the time there was no end to my jealousy that I tried and failed to hide.

I continued writing original works in notebooks and on my thumb drives, and occasionally went back to it to try writing fanfic again on that Quotev account. I did a few different Hetalia fics, all of which failed and were kind of terrible. But each of them were learning and growing experiences, and my writing today wouldn't be the way it is without them. But yeah, it was very cringe.

I am still working on original works, and right now I'm mainly focusing on one that started out as a fanfic, but became unique enough that it barely has any traces of what it was based off of anymore. I won't be publishing it here, because when this fic is done, I want to try throwing myself into it, and maybe finish an actual novel for once. Whether I can get it professionally published from there, I don't know. First I have to write the d*mn thing.

And lastly, some questions from my dear editor

What's your favorite episode?

The Circus. I could watch my baby bois all day.

How much money does Blitz make? Is he spending it immediately or secretly hoarding wealth? In your headcanon how Ron Swanson is he?

As funny as it would be for Blitz to be secretly stashing a massive amount of wealth, I am pretty sure Blitz immediately spends all his money on horse mini figurines, and runs only on cheese and hot sauce.

What's Stella doing right now? Is she bothering her parents now? Is she dumped and getting hammered? How many scandals has she gotten in now?

Lol I don't think she's getting drunk. You usually have to be heartbroken to feel the need to drink your woes away. Scandals wise, not many. She wouldn't dare even touch someone of low birth. I think if anything she is just following her brother around constantly like a baby duckling that makes rude remarks about your cheap *ss furniture and out of style dress. She may respect her brother, but I don't think she stops running her mouth for anyone.

Those were all the questions! I'll probably do more at the end of the fanfic, so keep a lookout.

AND NOW THE GAME!

Just for funzies, I'd like you to leave a review with some assumptions you have about me based on what you've read in my fanfic and/or Author's notes and/or following me on Tumblr. You can also tell me about assumptions you have about my dear editor or my number one fan and number one supporter, all of whom I reference occasionally in author's notes. I look forward to reading what you think about me :)

See you next time!
