This is some concept art for a heaven "corrupted" Helluva Boss AU that @bramblecrocuta and I made up, lol. Basically, three teenage imps, Barbie, Blitz and Fizzarolli, fight a stray exterminator angel, manage to kill them and take their weapons. Holding onto those weapons for long-term, however, has an effect... But they use them to take up killer-for-hire contracts until the day someone puts a bounty on the head of a Goetian Prince who is rumoured to have received a status-quo shaking prophesy from the stars. :)
with a few changes, namely while Moxxie is the pacifist, he’d have about Vaggie’s level of patience when it comes to certain things
Millie would have Charlie’s patience, but Vaggie’s temperament when you get her mad
Moxxie is trying toi prove redemption is possible for anyone, including Hellborn (for the sake of this we’ll say it’s possible)
Loona would be Husk, brought along by Blitzo later on who is in Angel Dust’s place
It’s Millie who recruits Blitzo and Moxxie reluctantly gives him a chance since redemption is for everyone
After being brought to the hotel Blitzo has texted Loona to meet him there and he introduces his daughter
she lives in an apartment near the studios, owned by Valentino (yeah i’m leaving him in the same role as a sack of crap)
so she gets “protection” but she is absolutely used as leverage against Blitzo
Stolas is Alastor, its unknown why he supports the hotel, but Moxxie is high key suspicious
I have no idea for Nifty
Octavia sometimes will be at the hotel, Stella’s and stolas’ relationship is...neutral at best
together for show, and an inability to divorce for reasons, but not really in love
but no screaming or infidelity, or at least none that the other care about
that haven’t slept together in a long time, and typically find other partners to satisfy that itch
and anyone who comments on it? well let’s say there are WAY more demon statues around (and it’s why Moxxie is wary, given the family’s nature to not exactly be merciful)
There’s definitely flirting between stolas and blitzo but it doesn’t really go anywhere do to Blitzo being afraid of Val finding out he has a “sugar daddy”
and because he knows Val hates stolas and vice versa
Likewise on stolas’ end he finds blitzo fascinating but isn’t willing to bed him (yet) cause of his connection to val
maybe octavia can be kind of nifty, like some of stolas’ servants keep the place clean and running but maybe octavia helps with social media or something idk
Blitzo is a drug addict, and loona an alcoholic
Fizz and Verosika are in the role of cherri bomb, with both working for Ozzy still
On the other end
Imp company (maybe called Hazbin instead) is run by Angel Dust, with Nifty and Husk and Vaggie
The book is owned by Alastor, and the deal is that angel dust has to bring back souls and bodies of Alastor’s choosing (I'm respecting that alastor is ace)
I'm thinking for Verosika and fizz it could be angel’s family members, and since they’re mostly bound to pride (save for earth travels) all episodes take place there
It still takes place in Hell, the only thing is IMP is the setting/theme of a show and all our beloved characters, with the exception of the princes (who are still princes) and Verosika (who is still a popstar), they're all actors.
So as anyone who's looked through my blog for more than 3 seconds knows, I'm a poly bitch, so; Everyone Loves Blitz (tm). Of course by "everyone" I really mean Stolas, FizzaRolli, Striker and Verosika... Blitz is a bit of a dense motherfucker and doesn't realize it for a while. (Fizz absolutely looks at the other three like "good luck, I've known him since we were five and been trying to ask him out since we were like 15 and he STILL hasn't realized")
Stolas and Stella are still happily married! Stolas is bi with a huge preference for men, in fact Stella is the only woman he has any physical or romantic interest in. When Stella realizes Stolas has feelings for Blitz she's actually the one who encourages it because Stolas' libido is MUCH higher than hers so, honestly, having someone else to take care of him would just make her life easier lol
Fizz also dates Ozzie! Blitz was his wingman (he sucked at it, big time) and, though the two have known each other a relatively short amount of time, they manage to start dating before Blitz even realizes that his and Fizz' plans to go to a Mammon concert is 100% absolutely a date. Which Ozzie is the one who points out, ironically enough.
Veering away from Blitz Harem, Millie and Moxxie, the actors, are actually exclusive/monogamous, but Moxxie is a lot less "prudish" about it. He certainly won't talk about it in public or in front of an audience but he's relatively comfortable talking about it with his friends. But if he and Millie were to bring in a third it would most likely be Striker, tbh lol.
Striker and Moxxie are like, best friends. They met on set during Striker's debut episode and now every time they're both in the same ring they'll meet up to chat or have drinks, they are very close which is very surprising for fans of the show since their characters- much like Blitz' and Fizz'- are at odds. Striker will go feral if anyone hurts Moxxie OR Millie.
Blitz dads the hell out of Millie, Moxxie, Loona and Octavia (all of whom are in the 16-22 range, versus Blitz' ~30-35), much to their dismay and everyone else's amusement. Stolas is the Real Dad Advice friend, Striker is the Protective Dad friend, and Blitz is the Worried Dad friend. This is also why Blitz always brings snacks with him wherever he goes. Blitz is also the friend you have to watch because he WILL adopt that orphan over there.
Oh! Age ranges! I kept them at vaguely their ages as they are in canon, or how I interpret them at least, in what I'll lovingly call the "human equivalent" since idk how demon aging works, damn. Obviously Stolas, Stella and Asmodeus are all... well, they're old. They're among some of the oldest demons, being royals, but they're immortal and don't look a day over 40. Loona, Millie, Moxxie and Octavia are around their canon ages- that being Loona and Octavia are 16/17 (Loona aged down just slightly, so I can shove in some dad&daughter Blitz&Loona content lol), Millie and Moxxie are ~5 years older at 21/22, maybe 23. Striker is a bit older, around 26-30, and Blitz, Barbie and Fizz are in their early-mid 30's. Verosika is somewhere between 25 and 30. Tilla, who is actually Blitz and Barbie's older sister rather than their mother (she plays their mother in the show), is in her mid 40's, being somewhere between 10 and 15 years older than the twins.
Fun Actress!Tilla fact, she's the twins' half sister, who was born from their mother's highschool romance (yea, teen mom). The twins' father came into the picture much later but always treated Tilla like she was his daughter. Blitz, Barbie and Tilla are super close, Tilla basically raised them after their mother and father died in an accident. They also actually did grow up in a circus with Fizz, which is where the show's writers got the idea of their backstory! Tilla had her own acrobatic show while Blitz and Barbie were twin trapeze artists. Fizz decidedly kept his feet planted firmly on the ground. Mammon was actually the one who recruited them all and got them into acting. That's right! Mammon, not only a prince, embodiment of greed, and a rockstar- he's also Blitz, Barbie, Tilla and Fizz' agent!! Hahahaaaa~!
While RoboFizz really was an animatronic, Fizz still provided the voice lines for him! RoboFizz might also later on gain sentience and scare the fuck out of everyone, INCLUDING Fizz, and may or may not despise Blitz for reasons beyond Blitz' control, but that's neither here nor there.
Many fans don't realize FizzaRolli is an imp. It's an ongoing joke with the cast, even after The Big Reveal on Character!Blitz and C!Fizz being childhood friends and C!Fizz being an imp, people are still arguing over it. Actor!Fizz has shown up to a premier with his imp tail and broken horns on full display and people STILL argue over whether or not he's an imp.
On that note, Fizz still has bionics! They're not completely the same as his character's, working in a more "natural" way like our real-world prosthetics- the bionics for the show are actually a bit dangerous to use long-term so he treats them more like a prop- but he and Blitz were involved in an accident as teens/young adults and he took the brunt of it (Blitz never talks about it but he has IMMENSE guilt over this). Mammon actually paid for and had them commissioned, since the accident actually happened after they started working for him. (Mammon, embodiment of greed, had a risk versus reward discussion in his head and decided the cost of the bionics would be small in comparison to what Fizz could potentially bring in)
Blitz still has depression. He relates so hard to C!Blitz that sometimes you'd think he's just a less asshole version of him. Which you could say he is. He doesn't keep people at a distance or push them away like C!Blitz does but he definitely suffers from a mixture of depression and survivor's guilt (over his parents' accident and the accident he and Fizz were in). Barbie and Tilla are the only ones who he talks about it to, since they both have similar feelings about their mother and father's accident, but Fizz- having known him for 25-30 years by now- definitely knows even without Blitz talking to him about it. Neither Blitz nor Fizz talk about the accident publicly, but thankfully the writers are respectful enough to not draw from that experience for inspiration. Amazingly respectful considering they're in hell and the writers have practically lifted and dramatized the show's characters from its actors lmao
Blitz is scarily good with a gun. He'd never shot one before they were taken to a shooting range to practice- even though they'd only have props the director wanted them to make it feel real- and Blitz basically hit the target bullseye each time. Fizz jokingly remarks that he'll be watching his back from now on cuz DAMN.
Moxxie is scarily knowledgeable about guns, too- he doesn't talk about why but I'll tell you, he's from a family of assassins. He's been trained since he was young to use and make weapons and kill. He's the deadliest person on set, next to the demon princes. He met Millie, the farmer's daughter who wanted to become so much more, and fell madly in love and chose to leave the assassin life behind to pursue acting with her. Millie and Striker are the only ones who know Moxxie actually used to be an assassin like the ones their characters are portraying. Blitz finds out a little later and decides to definitely keep this from Fizz, who promptly finds out because Blitz is TERRIBLE at lying to him.
The fans! Oh god the fans!! Striker is a fan favourite, as is FizzaRolli. Verosika has so many simps. Blitz has been propositioned at least a dozen times. No one dares approach the royals ofc, they're royals, but people love Stella's off-the-rocker performance and LOVE Stolas and Ozzie singing. The demands for Striker's return! The excitement knowing more demon royals are slated to show up! Honestly, it's the show of the century, and one of the few shows that actually features Sinners instead of being made up solely of Hellborn! It's exciting for a lot of fans of the show to see princes and imps and succubi/incubi and Sinners actually all interacting, there just aren't many shows that take place in the Pride Ring and mix social standings like that, it's pretty revolutionary for Hell, all things considered.
Sinners are still confined to the Pride Ring and the Extermination is still a thing. The seven rings still apply, and the nine circles that divide the rings still exist. So far the show has avoided bringing up the Extermination and everyone is sort of waiting to see if it will ever be addressed in-universe, because it is a BIG thing and for a show that takes place primarily in Pride and interacting with Sinners in many episodes to not even mention it is a bit weird.
It's midnight now so I'm gonna stop rambling for now, but if you have any specific questions or wanna hear about anything specific, go ahead and ask and I'll get to it when I've got a little more time~! I really enjoy this universe, it's fun tying it in to canon and also separating it at the same time.
The ABSOLUTE VERY last time I’ll ever have to tweak this picture. Both of them have their redesigns out, and it’s very fun for me, personally, to have an image I did that has 2 versions. I love these two, I can’t wait to see what they get up to.
