They appear in probably every episode of the Pokemon anime (I only was able to watch S1 because Netflix took everything else off outside of the XYZ anime) and in every movie, are in a couple of games, have manga appearances, and are comedy villains. Where would they even go, the meme tiers?!
Did y’all think it was mutually toxic like George and Martha from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf or do you thought that they only got married to keep up appearances within their community like Clay and Bloberta from Moral Orel?
I mean, these guys aren’t exactly well loved within the caste system of Hell so who is to say that the lower classes won’t pull a Cultural Revolution* and eliminate the Ars Goetia.
* If you don’t know what the phrase “Cultural Revolution” means: It was the 10 year period of ideological chaos which began in 1966 and ended in 1976. Mao Zedong used his wife’s ability to whip up the mob in order to shore up support after the failure of The Great Leap Forward, which lead to an estimated 15 to 55 million people dying of famine. Intellectuals like teachers and professors were denounced and made to endure struggle sessions or forced to swallow nails and glass. I can’t explain the entire chaos because it is so large and complex but essentially it was a hell on earth.

Is it the fact that he is an overzealous conspiracy theorist, the fact that he could be a reflection of obsessive and social inept fandoms or is it because he has a bunch of episodes and people got tried of him? I personally find him and his blog “Keep Beach Cty Weird” hilarious but I am also the guy who loves hated characters like Kevin and Onion (but not Marty) so my taste is a little conventionally off.
Here is his irl blog, sadly it hasn’t been updated since 2017 so there wasn’t any real foreshadowing for new stuff but it still is funny to see like he got stuck under a fridge. Hopefully, it will be reactivated for Lars of the Stars.
Also are the Fayed family connected with Epstein as well as both being wealthy human traffickers because I heard rumors that they were involved (mainly Dodi, Princess Di’s lover) in the Iran-Contra scandal via gun smuggling which Epstein was allegedly to also be involved in? Sorry for not being all that knowledgeable about the intimate details of Iran-Contra because even though I do enjoy and know a lot about US history, I also just want to enjoy my peace of mind and not get depressed again about American interference overseas.

My personal guess is D’Alvade provided kompromat via his child sex trafficking, the Beldingford were used to dispose of people who were getting too close to discovering Providence and Hayamoto was used to corner the Japanese underworld. I know that it is just an Easter Egg and probably just to show that Grey was tracking 47 but I just speculate for fun.
Here is an excerpt from the article that I think a bunch of y’all would be interested in:
Ruemmler said that she also attended Epstein's subsequent criminal arraignment in Manhattan because she was "absolutely shocked that he had been arrested" and wanted to update de Rothschild about the case.
"I had come to have a personal relationship with Ariane de Rothschild, and so I knew that she would want to know, like, what exactly was going on. And so the way to find out exactly what was going on is actually to be there in the courtroom," she said.
A Rothschild bank spokesperson told Reuters earlier this year that de Rothschild was a business acquaintance of Epstein from 2013 to 2019, that she had no knowledge of Epstein's conduct, and that she "unequivocally condemns his behavior and the crimes which he committed."
Ruemmler was pressed by lawmakers about her casual and friendly emails with Epstein, in which she referred to him as "Uncle Jeffrey" and compared him to a brother.
The Brothers were a cut ET mission in nighttime Marrakesh that had them working on ETHER’s behalf to smuggle weapons to the Delgado Cartel which was retconned and now Providence’s cartel asset is the Moreno Cartel. They were in the files in the End of an Era as an Easter egg so maybe 47 did take the job and eliminated them. Honestly, I think they should give them a completely different level or save them for a different game like a Contracts style flashback story game.
I just finished watching this movie yesterday night and it is sadly prescient right now with what is going on with the world: psychotic elites and jingoistic generals causing catastrophic long term damages due to some insipid conspiracy theories and that dick measuring contest that is nuclear power races. Granted, the irl version is now just grifting and overt distraction from previous crimes instead of paranoia and misplaced hyper nationalism but the point still stands. I wonder where Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper falls on the tier list because he did cause omnicide but he is pretty mentally ill, granted not enough to declare him not culpable for his actions because he had a plan or at least “concepts of a plan” (get it?!) to obstruct the Chiefs of Staff from stopping those nukes from blowing the Soviets to high heaven. Also, should Dr. Strangelove be analyzed because he does still believe the Nazi ideology and try to suggest an underground eugenics program that will weed out “undesirables” at the end of the movie. Granted, it is all for naught cuz the Air Force triggered the Soviet’s Doomsday device and they were all still in the “War Room” so they definitely got blown up to smithereens but still that has to count for something right?
The only way I can understand it is the fact that he is pink and insecure about his masculinity. I also haven’t interacted with the fandom in a while and don’t know the nitty-gritty fandom lore to explain it.
This was my first piece of Stephen King media that I have read and I have got to say that Todd and Dussander are pretty horrible people, they would easily reach the S tier in those ranking tier videos. Todd is a clinical psychopath and brutal serial killer who has rape dreams and ends up going on a killing spree shooting up highway cars at the end of the book. Dussander is a sadistic Nazi commandant who burns animals alive in order to ward off bad dreams of his fears of getting caught for being a Nazi war criminals and serial killer who kills the homeless. Weirdly enough, I feel like Todd is the worse out of the two because without him, Dussander would have probably been found out early or at least post-mortem and he wouldn’t have been recorrupted to start killing the homeless. Granted, Dussander made his choices in life and still is a terrible person but Todd came to his house and implicitly asked about information about the Holocaust because he want to here how the Nazis killed so many people which lead to Dussander start killing people again because he enjoyed it after hiding it for years. Also VE should only do the book because the movie downplays and removes parts of story to let Todd escape punishment.
I want to create a Fandom account in order to correct some discrepancies with some villains wiki pages and request a Near Pure Evil page on a character called 6th Floor but I am afraid that I would get banned if I did so. Also, would the Fandom account give me access to all of the morality wikis and other wikis or do I have to make separate accounts for each?
* Favorite character - Stolas because besides the fact that he reminds me of myself, he was my main Closet Key and he and Blitz made me a shipper. Plus he is good autistic representation.
* Liked by everyone but me - I don’t “hate” Striker but between his vibes of “I have concepts of a plan”, working with race traitors like Crimson, and being a general bigot towards his own people make me like him less. I am going to make a post about him having the “crabs in the bucket” mentality but it might take a while because of procrastination and depression so don’t count on it. TLDR: Striker talks a lot of shit about the caste system but also helps tears down the people he supposedly wants to help. He wants to be the oppressor, not the savior of the lower classes. Also the constant glazement and whitewashing from the stans is getting annoying.
* Didn’t like at first - I had a whole “5 stages of grief” arc about Emberlynn Pinklie that you can read on my account.
* Would like to know more about - Stella because while we have an outline of who she is, we don’t know her backstory or environment. Was she spoiled rotten, is she a congenital psychopath, how was she abused, we fundamentally don’t know yet. Honorable mention: Via, I hope we get some shorts about her although I can see her being like Stolas and being too integral to the plot.
* Least favorite character - Arick Burnz aka Creepzo. He is a parasocial adult stalker (Blitz says he saw him sniffing their locker room) with obsessive ephebophile (he fantasizes teen!Fizz in a gimp suit and wants to make a “love” story between them for a circus act) and spiteful tendencies (humiliates and gives Fizz a panic attack at Mammon’s meet and greet). He also tries to kill Fizz out of obsessive insanity and literally has no merch featuring him which is telling because the bad dad trio of Paimon, Crimson and Cash get more merch.
* Like the design, dislike character - Ok, so the next two characters I like their characters and design, I just needed to put something in their spots. The design for Andre is so funny like they add a comphet gay guy in the series but they make him dress fruitier than Stolas, the world’s most breedable owl, and he spends like 40% of his screen time making obliviously lecherous comments about his MILF sister. The only reason Andre is in the “dislike character” placement is because he orchestrated Stolas’s 100 year banishment and stole his house!
* Like the character, dislike design - It was hard to find a design that I didn’t like because they are all so good, so I switched gears to a design that I think is unpractical. I then laid eyes on Alessio and decided to yap about the pros and cons of having a twig (✨affectionately✨) as a bodyguard. The reason that I like his character is because he is such a tertiary character and blank slate outside of being a mob enforcer, bodyguard to Crim and gay that you can do anything with him! Now, I don’t actually hate Al’s design but I wonder what Crim was thinking hiring a man who is/looks skinny enough to easily get cut horizontally with gardening shears. I expected a man like Crim to use a beefier member of the mafia to be his bodyguard but maybe Crim is the type of guy to get insecure about a bigger man guarding him so he got a skinny guy to protect him. It could also be a stealth thing because he did get the jump on Moxxie with that taser.
* Similar personality - You can literally read all of my Reddit comments and posts to see that I embody Blitz Buckzo. Honorable mention: Stolas and Moxxie because I am a boring relatively sane person.
* Fav ship - It is my flair for a reason: Striker x Stella, baby! I had an entire essay written about how I think the relationship could turn out but my dumbass deleted it by accident so I have been stewing in my misery at my magnum opus of manifesting a fictional relationship with the off chance that the crew might see it and make my ship a reality! Honorable mention: Stolitz, M&M’s, Mayford and Jessalphus.
* Least fav ship - Mammon x Money because the wealthy need to pay their fair share of taxes. Like if they pay their taxes, they would still be rich!
* Would befriend irl - Moxxie because we are both nerds who like musical theatre and is the moral compass of our respective groups. Plus we love our moms to bits!
* Would not befriend irl - The only way I can see myself befriending Crim is him being the weird, quiet kid at school and I am forced to interact with him. The reason that befriending Crimson is a problem because I would not want to write a “My Friend Dahmer” style book about him when I grow up. He would definitely retaliate by killing me and writing a hagiography about himself.
I am pretty sure that we all know, or at least most of us, that there is a freeze frame in the famed mission short, Weebaboo-boo, that the weeb mother herself, Emberlynn, essentially foreshadows the climax of Mastermind. We also know that the writers have foreshadowed stuff like Moxxie’s mob family (innocuous comment in Murder Family) and how the circus fire went down (literally the entire beef of Robo-Fizz and visuals of his face burning off to mirror Blitz’s) so I wouldn’t put it past them.
Also, side tangent, can we just bring in the spectator of doubt that the next short is a Mox/Stolas outing, for all we know it could be Blitz recounting his failed art school attempts. I don’t want this subreddit to do another “A possible shot of Verosika ass equals Verosika short” reasoning and then complain that we didn’t get a Sika short. The discourse of that for a month was annoying and I think we need to temper our expectations.
(Pictured above Richard Ekwensi, Inez Ekwensi, Adeze Oijofor, and Jean-Pierre Delanoix)
I always felt like these guys not getting a mission was such a missed opportunity because they have the most interesting elusive target lore that should have been integrated into the main story more directly. The most we get outside of the Ekwensi’s and Oijofor’s levels was off-hand remarks by background NPC’s, like former Secretary of State and Providence operative Anderson Silviero, that Richard worked with Providence to give them access to his country’s Rhodium mines.
Maybe it could have been a two part mission like the Petersburg missions in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. I can see the first part taking place at the Ekwensi’s mansion, possibly styled after his main inspiration, Mobutu Seso Seko’s, “Versailles of the Jungle” if we want the mission to take place prior to their canonical exile from the Makindye District in Uganda. We could also choose the ruins of the Kanhar Valley massacre if we want to drive home how much of a scumbag he is and why the UN should not tolerate tin pot dictatorships and ethnic cleansing in the 21th Century regardless of the natural resources they want to scoop out. The second part could have taken place in Oijofor’s disputed territory where she is escalating her war with Globestar. Honestly, I am only really am making this post because I want to see more black people as story targets in-game.
