A Golden Goose Idea I Had:

A Golden Goose idea I had:

When courting Stella, Mammon made it a point not to take her to Ozzie’s. This isn’t out of spite for Asmodeus either, rather, Mammon naturally recognizes the club for what it is: a place for people to have meaningless hook ups in the name of lust and lust alone. Since Mammon well and truly loves Stella, he wants to make sure she knows that in every little thing he does, and he is certain taking her to Ozzie’s, no matter how high end and classy it may be, would send the wrong message.

Unrelated to the above, but I like the idea of Mammon and Stella, pretty far into their relationship, having a date at some sort of fast food dive, for little reason other then the dichotomy of Mammon being himself and having a ball there, while Stella is sitting across from him eating fast food with all the grace and poise her upbringing has instilled within her (and maybe enjoying the date more than she lets on).

Just some random thoughts I thought I’d share.

Guy, I swear, if I ever meet you in person, we're getting pizza, my treat. I LOVE THESE!

Mam going the extra mile to show Stella just how much she means to him in really subtly sappy ways actually works really well with my idea of Mammon actually being smarter and more attentive than people (in and out of universe) give him credit for.

Also, YES! I ADORE hcs about Stella broadening her comfort zone and exploring interests she couldn't/wouldn't before due to Goetic culture.

Great showing all around

See the thing is, when the Tender Treats premier was set up, it also had a trailer that focused on making the episode seem as dark and tense as possible.

I think that Hollow Sorrows will have the typical split between light and dark elements, but when it gets dark, it'll be darker.

Also, Lila is obviously hungover, just the dialogue in the trailer tells you she told Skid it's "hangover spooky month" and then he told Pump.

do y’all think the new spooky month episode could be more serious and dark like I know the other past episodes are pretty dark but mostly more funny and goofy but with deadly smiles and tender treats having pump and skid almost having near death experiences and Lila looking more worried and stressed in the trailer it definitely feels like we getting closer to the serious episodes

I tried to find it but I all i found was a bunch of weird fanfiction so either I lost it completely or I just straight up hallucinated so idk-

Right, thing is, I weirdly remember Pelo confirming the uncle is a cultist, but can't find that either. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Hollow Sorrows Trailer Breakdown LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO

Obviously, if you don't want spoilers, scroll away. If you've already seen the trailer, LET'S GO!!!

So when we first see possessed Patty, she looks mostly normal, you can't even see her demon teeth through the mask yet. John and Jack probably only came in since they heard a scream and/or struggle coming from the morgue.

So we get a shot of the boys being too chaotic, something Gregor points out and what will likely cause the "bad character development" Pelo ahs mentioned.

Also, since it's 100% what Pelo would do, Costume Bob is the guy in the HF suit. Mark my words.

The scene with the hatz is really interesting to me, since Skid and Pump just annoys Roy for a moment and leave. I think this might be all we get of the hatzgang this time, similar to how Frank only had a brief Appearance in Tender Treats. If my theory that episode 7 will focus on Roy is true, this little scene will be very interesting to dissect when the full episode drops.

We actually get out first proper glimpse at a new character and I think this old man is the very last character in the line up teaser

And there's also a pretty good chance he Roy's grandfather and given the way he reacts to the boys antics here, I can definitely see him being a another reasons Roy's the way he is.

If he actually is Roy's grandpa, then @crossover-enthusiast and I's Roy discussions are going to get really fun pretty soon.

Here, Skid is clearly holding a framed photo, meaning this will almost certainly be the first time his father is brought up directly.

Also, yeah, with Pump's line about "hangover spooky month", it seems my theory about Lila in this episode was at least half right.

Yet more proof that the boys' absent parents will be more of a focus. The trailer as a whole gives me some ideas regarding the Wonder parents, but I feel they're best saved for another time.

The boys get into trouble with the cops and I have 2 theories regarding when, either Gregor tries to get them sent home before going to the hospital, but they talk their way out of it, or they actually do get sent home at the end of the episode.

John's expression here immediately makes we think that something Skid or Pump said reminded him of his daughter. Another plot thread that has yet to be directly acknowledged.

Ignacio watches Gregor lead the boys away, maybe he lives down the street from Skid and Lila to keep an eye on them for the cult?

Either way, I'm surprised his appearance won't take place in the hospital as I previously predicted.

"I will be your guide. And I know your parents would be proud of you."

There's something undeniably sinister about this line, but how sinister hinges on whether Gregor is a cultist or ex-cultist. Whatever the case may be, he definitely knows more about or sees more in the boys than he lets on.

A great title card, and thought the blood everywhere is definitely concerning, I don't think there's anything to really say here, just wanted to get a screenshot of it.

And it would appear the character I've referred to as the cat lady will have the unenviable role of a hapless victim to the episode's villain. But honestly, I'm more surprised by her being at the hospital in the first place and why that never occurred to me before.

The actual progression of Patty's possession confirms to she's possessed by something other than Moloch. And what seals it for me is, fittingly, the eyes. The white of her eyes becomes a more vivid yellow, yet her pupil snot only don't form Moloch's typical spirals, but they're a more vivid shade of baby blue, a color that has never had any significance in the series before. Moloch will mostly be trapped in Dexter before eventually possessing Gregor, I will die on this hill.

AND THE FUGGIN' RELEASE DATE!!!

Alright, that's all, only a month now. We're so back!

I saw someone else point out tie-guy as being Richard's dad and like- yeah I can absolutely see it now, but tbh that makes it even funnier bc it implies Roy's uncle got shit luck in the hair department lmao

But also!!

This is also just straight up the dude from the Tender Treats photo

Which makes me wonder why he's even here, if he's supposed to be Richard's dad? Were Richard and maybe even his brother at that barbecue too, just offscreen? Or was he there for something else?

Also looking at it, I think he's the middle guy in that character sneak peak Pelo posted

(note the build and the hair swoop)

Which means the only one of the three we haven't seen yet is the guy on the left

Yeah, don't know how I didn't pick up on him being the man in the photo, but I think you're overlooking the big implications from that.

First off, someone asked if the man next to Bob is someone he knows, Pelo said the only person Bob knew was his "friend" how took the photo. Someone else asked if we knew 'him' and Pelo said yes. Now we know he was referring to the person taking the photo, who I am CERTAIN is Mr. Clown.

Also, given the grandpa's definitely aged since the photo was taken, he isn't/wasn't a cultist, which makes me think Roy's family only became involved with the cult when someone (Bob if it happened earlier, Evermore if it happened later) inducted Richard's brother.

And yeah, I think you're right, he probably is that guy, and not the last person in the lineup.

I just finished the episode

oh my god

I thought the twist was going to be she had some kind of psychosis or the same mental illness her dad did, but that hit WAY more holy shit

While I recover from that, how the scenes jump to each year was cool, I liked it

Poor Jack :[

Just. Oh my god I need time to process that ask me about the ranking tomorrow

Also want to mention that as I was watching it something fell from the ceiling and I couldn't find it so. That was also fun

Yeah, A smidge predictable for me, but still a classic no.9 twist
