I like to think Gluttony is actually the industrial center of Hell. Gluttony isn’t about food. It’s about an over-indulgence and abundance which crosses heavily with industrialization. So I imagine Gluttony is like China with smoke in the air and mass production and expiration of goods throughout Hell.
-
Every restaurant there would be an all you can eat buffet
-
All ingredients imported from the finest (and not so fine) establishments of Wrath!
-
>Gluttony isn’t about food. It’s about an over-indulgence
This Anon gets it.

Imagine.
Giant refineries producing drugs, pumping psychadelic waste vapors into the air.
With rivers of toxic sludge.
Factories producing vilest, most disgusting processed food imaginable, Snowpiercer nutrient jello blocks style.
With many overlords like Sir Pentious, a great tycoons, having a trans-circlar reach down there all the way up from Pride.
With endless brands and useless commerce.

Now that is Gluttony, with maybe a nice crossover with Greed.
The two go hand in hand, really.

I imagine all that toxic sludge and drugs leftovers would most likely spawn mnetally unhinged, joker-tyle greed of imps and various hellborn.
As one of Joker's backstories was that he fell into a chemicals vat and turne dcrazy.
Now imagine that with an entire imp population or at the very least most of it.

I like to think the Imps have actually evolved around their environment and have become immune to the toxicity. But they look rather... deformed for the lack of a better word due to this evolution.

>>42903273
Oh, the slaves revolted and they got slaughtered by some soldiers. Nothing new nor is it very important in the grand schemes of Gluttony.
-
That picture reminds me of a long time ago.
We were talking about something that led to a HelluvaBoss Stalker crossover.
I wonder if theres any abandoned places in Hell that Imps and Sinners could scavenge.
Or maybe a lucky Stalker managed to open a portal using the Wishgranter and now Hell is the final test for only the toughest Stalkers.
I also remember making a joke about Moxxie becoming a Gopnik.
-
>I wonder if theres any abandoned places in Hell that Imps and Sinners could scavenge.
Sloth, it's most likely a wasteland and nobody really wants to spend much time in there cause it feels physically and emotionally draining to be there, like having a blanket of lethargy cover your mind.
Sucking up any good thoughts you would have.
-
>The Wishgranters voice gets replaced by one speaking in a language you don't recognize
--------
>blitzo tries to defend M&M despite risking exposing himself to Fizz
I still think Blitzo is a cretin who needs an intervention but I can respect that he does, in his own warped way, care for his friends
-
>Blitzo is a cretin
He's in pain and needs help, not insults.
-
He is in pain, but that does not excuse his negative aspects
Which is why I am genuinely interested to see where the final episode of the season goes. Viz and co have really created an interesting situation which has matched my hopes for the series, in terms of not only being entertaining, but delving into the emotional issues regarding Stolas and Blitzo
--------
Striker won't finish the job and will instead get involved with Stolas
-
I would be surprised if we saw more of Striker outside of a voiceless cameo (which is amusingly what we got)

I also see 0% chance of Striker engaging with any kind of sexual relationship with Stella. Stella clearly is disdainful of lower class Imps, Striker clearly hates the the nobility/overlords.
Good for a fantasy. But he's more likely to kill her than fk her. That is of course assuming his 'show' for hating the nobility was real and not just some ploy.
-
I'm just in denial.
They're going to kill Stolas in the next part.
I'm just trying to, fruitlessly, think of literally any other outcome.
-------
>You make that really clear all the time.
I still don't understand what Blitzo meant by this.
Yeah, he lusts over the imp a lot, but he's never made it 'clear' that's what they're all about, verbally or otherwise.
-
Stolas mostly talks about sx whenever they have an outing. I'd imagine him thanking Blitzo for the sx every time also just confirms it.
Remember, Blitzo's emotionally stunted. He probably can't read deeply into some compliments.
-
Stolas is a nobleman having a fling with a peasant. He is usually very upfront about this being just a fling. But like every FWB arrangement that goes on for too long someone is developing real feelings and Blitz being a pile of insecurity wrapped in ironclad imposter syndrome cant see it.
------
>In episode 2: Blitz calls Fizzarolli a sell-out jester when arguing with Robo fizz
Here's my autistic theory
>Fizz gets noticed by Mammon/ Asmodeus
>Makes it big
>Blitz gets angry and tries to sabotage Fizz out of his own ego
>It goes horribly wrong, his mother gets killed and Fizz gets horrifically maimed
>Blitz runs, Barb is driven to drinking, and Fizz gets rescued by Asmodeus and turned into a cyborg
-
Wouldn't put it past the show.
Imagine if the others had the appropriate reaction to it, too.
>all of a sudden, his worst nightmare comes to life
>it is HE who's the monster - it's not just in his head anymore
>everyone looks upon him with shock, mixed with various other emotions

>Moxxie and Millie are horrified, with Moxxie actually stepping ahead of his wife to shield her - he doesn't trust him anymore
>Loona glares at him with a look of distrust and disappointment - she had already given up on him, and now got all the confirmation she needed
>it's a look that says "you're not my father, get away from me!"
>Verosika's face reflect utmost horror - though she hadn't had a high opinion of him, the revelation had clearly shocked her to the core
>for the first time, he sees fear in her eyes
>he hates it
>even Striker looks disturbed, fixing him with an incredulous look

>the worst, though, have to be the Goetias
>though Octavia and Stella had looked upon him with disdain before, now they both display looks of worry and disgust - he's no longer just a nuisance to them
>he's a threat
>a threat to their family

>but the worst has to be Stolas
>the look on his face
>shock, disbelief... Alienation
>he's looking at him like he was a stranger
>as if this was the first time he'd seen him properly... And he doesn't like what he sees
>he, too - and this is what kills him - steps in front of his wife and daughter
>shielding them from him

>the monster
-
holy sht, this is good.

How do people miss this? Watch any episode besides the last one and Stolas is constantly, for a lack of a better word, sexually harassing blitz, much to his disapproval. Watch looloo land again or how annoyed he is with Stolas during the striker episode. This is what he goes through 90% of the time. Getting called pet names by a rich hrny noble he hooked up to start his business. Maybe Stolas is more caring and less hrny after sx but at that point blitz can't see it for good reason.

I guess you guys must been on the same wavelength because this person just made this.

What if Fizzaroli isn't actually an amputee and he's just really small and driving a robot body.
Like the Almighty Tallest.

yt has no angle where vague male bulges are ok but "female" ones aren't. Don't try to defend vuvzle with this cope. She strayed from the lore, go ddam mit.

Random thoughts because why not.

Hell is divided into 7 rings, each ring is stacked on top of the other and are seemingly connected via an elevator network. Each ring is further sub-divided into circles, IMP City is located in the 'second' circle of first ring, Pride. It is unknown how many circles each ring possesses, this could be an arbitrary or set limit.

Sinners, for reasons unknown, cannot leave the upper ring of Pride. It has yet to be explained if this is achieved by means of magic, enforcement or a combination. The state of the hell elevator network (being golden and pristine in appearance) coupled with an obvious lack of armed guards, suggests that access to other rings is enforced via some magical system.

Sinners can travel to different circles in the pride ring. As evidenced by the visits to IMP City by sinners, and the fact a sizable amount of sinners appear to live, or at least congregate, regularly in IMP City.

Viz implied that the character of Valentino "wishes" he could visit the ring of lu st, which further reinforces the argument that there is a magical system in place preventing sinner access to other rings. If even a prominent Overlord cannot leave the ring of Pride, then there's little hope anyone else could.

How IMP City and the exterminations tie together is yet unknow. Viz stated that hellborn are exempt from the Exterminations, but what safeguards are in place to prevent sinners from disguising as a hellborn? There would appear to be plenty of sinners who could pass off as as succubus/imp/hellhound if given the chance.

>A Mallen streak is a sign of occultism or sin, It was said that those who bore the streak seldom reached old age and that nothing good ever came of a Mallen.
If you haven't already accepted Stolas' death, now would be a good time.

>It was said that those who bore the streak seldom reached old age and that nothing good ever came of a Mallen.

So far my quest to find decent twitter art has yielded no results, rather unfortunate

Here's your more accurate Asmodeus.

Forgot pic.

I like to cope by thinking that the demons we've seen so far are merely puppets of the true Ars Goetia and that the real Asmodeus is lurking in the dark center of Lust.
