#NotJustTentacles is a podcast that attempts to demystify #anime & #animation. Home of #HelluvaRecaps. This is a bigotry free zone. Hosted by Rachael and Ruth.
Joined January 2022
In the latest episode of Not Just Tentacles, we discuss #AsterixAndObelixTheBigFight, the recent Asterix adaptation. I've loved it since I was a kid. Ruth is indifferent. Can I convince her to give this mini series a try?.

Masquerade was crucial in showing that Angel does care for Charlie and doesn’t just view her as a meal ticket, whatever the original plan in staying at the hotel was. He was genuinely afraid for her #Hazbin

Yep, the Helluva pilot has now been removed!. It’s the right thing to do. So many people were adamant this was “proof” it was going to be like an Adult Swim show & used it as a reason to libel Stolas & Stolitz. You can still see the IMP Jingle & other highlights #HelluvaBoss

Ghostf*ckers had the misfortune of being overshadowed by two important, dramatic episodes. Not only is it a compelling episode in its own right, it gave us much needed lore about Millie and IMP.

Robo Fizz was a masterly piece of misdirection by #Helluva. We assumed he was a copy of Fizz, meaning the clown was a cruel, arrogant, entitled jerk who’d sold out and hated Blitzo. His behaviour in Ozzie’s only seemed to confirm this …

We knew Stolas was immortal, but this is the first time it's confirmed onscreen. Which not only underlines how cruel it would be to stay married to Stella for all eternity, but how vital it is for him to find happiness with the partner of his choice, however fleeting.

It’s official: the Helluva pilot has been decanonised, so stop using it as an excuse to hate on Stolitz and Loona, or claim it was only ever supposed to be a wacky work based sitcom.

I actually liked Emberlynn. It was nice to see a female anime fan and fanfic writer who'd obviously been created by people from that same demographic, rather than cartoons satirising "smelly geeks."

I’ll admit: following Ozzie’s, I thought Fizz and Ozzie were a pair of bullying hypocrites and couldn’t stand them. I wasn’t altogether pleased to learn there was an episode focusing on them. But then I watched Oops … #Helluva

Truth Seekers is generally regarded as the crowning glory of S1 of #Helluva. Blitzo and Moxxie’s comedy duo shines, Loona and Millie work together, Moxxie’s Bad Trip is a Disney quality number that offers a peek into Blitzo’s tortured psyche, there’s an epic battle …

I love Charlie, but the announcement does highlight possibly her biggest failing: her tendency to patronise & infantilise her subjects, whether it's Baxter in the sneak peek or Blitzo here. We saw it during her pitch in the pilot & the play she wrote for Angel in the main series

There is no “rivalry” between The Amazing Digital Circus and Helluva fans. The response I’ve seen has been overwhelmingly positive. You *can* have more than one indie animation in the world at the same time, you know …

Seeing Stars is one of the most unfairly maligned episodes of #Helluva. It has its flaws, and even the odd plothole, but overall it’s a great comfort episode and one of my personal favourites. Let’s dive in!

Rochelle Diamante is taking over as Beelzebub's VA. I'm sad to lose Kesha, but Rochelle's bound to do a sterling job. All the changes thus far have been for the best. Also, what does this mean for HoneyHounds? Will she become a series regular?

People have spent the past year arguing Blitzo is too selfish, damaged, irresponsible etc for a relationship. They claimed Stolas should rehearse with a new boyfriend. This is Blitzo in Mastermind, treating him with the utmost tenderness.

Having Vassago as a new love interest for Stolas not only tests people's patience with the already slow burning Stolitz story, but runs the risk of audiences thinking Stolas should go with the "easy" option of his own class. I'm wondering if he could be Stolas' answer to 1/2

After a second viewing of Mastermind, I can confirm that it has indeed toppled Loo Loo Land as my favourite episode. (Remember when we thought Stolas wouldn't appear in this one?). Here are assorted thoughts .

Since Via has no idea of the extent of Stella's abuse, she just sees Stolas as leaving HER - which is how many (most?) children react in similar situations.

I like how S2 of Helluva showed that Moxxie and Millie weren't a picture perfect couple, having fights and friction just like anybody else. They've still only been married about a year, after all. There's plenty they don't know about each other.

I love Moxxie and Millie, but Blitzo was right: they *are* on the co-dependent side, and need to find friends and interests outside each other and I.M.P. You shouldn’t be your other half’s only source of friendship and comfort #Helluva

So . Andrealphus spent the entire trial being a racist asshat to Blitzo, but is going to have to preside over the harvest moon festival next year?. Did not think that one through.

This makes Ozzie seem a little less of a knob, if Moxxie was *literally* killing the vibe. Also: Gluttony seems to be the most diverse, equal Ring thus far #HelluvaBoss

Am I the only person who didn't hate Apology Tour?. The Stolitz quarrel was believable, the apology tour itself made me laugh, we learned Verosika's side of things, and even Pink Guy served a purpose. Blitzo needed to realise he loves Stolas, not just that he desires him 🤷♀️

Today we’re talking Loo Loo Land, the episode that first alerted me to the fact #Helluva was more than a funny adult animation with risqué jokes and a novel setting - and rehabilitated a character I’d been prepared to detest as a dodgy queer stereotype. Let’s jump in!

Queen Bee, the long delayed S1 finale, is a straightforward story about Loona and Blitzo - and a visual and aural spectacular. We meet Bee, aka Beelzebub, our second Deadly Sin. Oh, and did we mention she’s Vortex’s girlfriend? #Helluva

I always wondered, "Would there be a target they couldn't kill?" and now we know. They couldn't bring themselves to kill a family like theirs. They saw they were good, while the Sinner was evil.

There may well be a deep, meaningful reason behind Blitzo’s love of horses but I sincerely hope not, I hope he’s just a silly little guy who loves ponies. Since that’s how real people operate #Helluva

You know when you watch an episode and think, “That was a silly, harmless bit of fun starring my favourite characters, I wonder what everyone else thought?” only to learn everyone else wants to kill it with fire?. Yep, it’s the Unhappy Campers recap! #Helluva

I do wish people would look at Blitzo as a rich, multilayered character in his own right, rather than just one half of Stolitz. He's also a dad, a friend, a boss and one of the best protagonists I've seen in any series, period. He's changed so much over the course of the show.

She has already shown herself to be manipulative, convincing that nurse Blitzo is a pos, and got Jimmy to do whatever she wanted. She could well blame him for killing their mum - and perhaps she was jealous of Fizz, and how Cash preferred him. Maybe that’s why this was cut 🤔

Stolas, I know you're drunk and talking bollocks, but PLEASE don't say ugly behaviour shows how much you loved an ex. This was the exact same argument people used about Stella.

Whether she’s a teenager or owlet, Octavia’s design gives her elements of both her parents - Stella’s pink eyes & messy feathers, Stolas’ colouring & owlishness. There’s also this duality with her clothes. I especially love her tiara-beanie. An owl as a moody teen ❤️#Helluva

I.M.P isn't a cutesy acronym like other cartoons. It's Blitzo sticking it to the man, proclaiming to the world he is an imp with his own business and office. He could never have called it anything else.

Proof that racism/classism has been a major theme in Helluva since day one.
I really appreciate the fact that in the original project Blitz was supposed to already explain to the public the concept of the inferiority of Imps in Hell's society that later on, it has become one of the most important points in the whole series ❤️❤️. #HelluvaBoss #Blitz

Working class person here. I hate how people treat Blitzo like this ingrate who's won a scholarship only to squander it, when he's a man at the bottom of Hell's hierarchy who's had to fight and f*ck for everything he has.

This scene where the fans are delighted to learn Fizz and Ozzie are a couple means so much. I’ve belonged to so many shows where the fandoms treated queer shippers like dirt. Even worse, the CREATORS treated queer fans that way. #Helluva is a show in a million.
