A Few Months Back I Had A Dream About A Spooky Month Episode Involving Some Sort Of Mutant Newt/axolotl

A few months back I had a dream about a Spooky Month episode involving some sort of mutant newt/axolotl and the mad genetecits/vet who created it and asked someone to look after it but it got loose and starts multiplying.

Since then I've been thinking about what that episode's credits would look like and I think the mad scientist would be pressed against an aquarium glass while dipping in the mutant in the water as it goes after the other characters who are all different sea creatures.

Here are the ideas so far:

Patty-jellyfish (since they kind of look like a surgical cap)

Hatzgang-piranhas (I really like this one, after all they're little jerks that always stick together)

Rick-stone fish (look up a stone fish and tell it doesn't look like it's done with life)

Richard and Carmen-lobsters (because lobster is expensive)

Skid and Pump- little clown fish (since they're black,white and orange)

Mr. Wonder- octopus (this one's just sort of based on vibes)

John and/or Jack- sword fish (since sword fish have police-ish colors)

Frank-Snapping turtle (with a white shell to represent his van)

Lila-angel fish (because she's like a guardian angel)

Ignacio-hermit crab (because he's reclusive)

Candy Dealer-eel (since they're often depicted as slippery and shady)

Those are all the ones I've got for now, feel free to suggest more for the characters I haven't covered.

Edit 1:

Radford- cardinal/neon tetra (suggested by @crossover-enthusiast based on it's red and blue colors)

Kevin- prawn (they're known for cleaning)

Streber- vampire squid (can't believe I forgot this one)

Jaune- sting ray (because of her ponytail and color scheme)

I agree with literally all of this (especially the Carmen thing).

Jaune 1,5,8

My thoughts on their design

Jaune is very pretty :> Honestly out of all the girls I vibe with her outfit the most, it's casual but still looks nice

What’s a theory about them I think is likely

I like the idea her and Carmen used to be friends but had the worst falling out ever and now Jaune hates her

What’s a sad/evil HC I have for them

Jaune's jokester nature makes it hard for her to like, seriously comfort people outside the basic "it'll be okay" stuff -- this is very unfortunate given her friend has been repeatedly traumatized in the past few years. Jaune wants to be able to comfort Lila, but she doesn't know how.

The "Remember, Lila" box and it's implications.

So. let's look this thing over, shall we?

The top shelf doesn't really tell us much new, we have a photo with Skidad's face torn off and one where his face is scribbled out, though their may be a deeper meaning to the full family photo being the one labeled "You Are Everything"

The second and fourth shelf are just boxes and what appear to be 2 photos turned away from the camera. There may be something to that, but probably not.

The middle shelf has the most obviously cult-adjacent contents. A cult robe, or at least the mask/hood, a necklace which is curiously missing it's gem and what appears to be one of the banners hung up in the mansion with a strange gold line going down it.

And finally, the box labeled "Remember, Lila" at the very bottom. This to me strongly suggest that Lila and/or her husband were aware Lila might, likely due to something supernatural, lose her memory of something(s) important.

This is where my personal theory comes in: Lila was knowingly and actively involved in the cult before doing something, intentionally or not, that blocked her memories of the cult, it's members (hence her shock at seeing Bob in the photo), it's methods and goals. The box and it's contents acting as a provision in case Lila would ever want to remember.

Perhaps the inability to repress the memories pertaining to her husband's involvement lead to her removing his face from all the photos.

I look forward to at least a third of this being proven wrong in December. :)

There it is, THE BEST POSSIBLE way to explain my thoughts on the show. I DO love it, but not as much as I hoped I would.

The way I would enjoy Helluva Boss so much more if it was an actual, literal, Blitzo x Stolas hurt/comfort fanfic of the show from the pilot says how much the writing has strayed from its starting point.

OH, I never thought about that before! I think both theories are equally plausible right now, but I'm excited to see if this goes anywhere in future episodes.

Where is Dexter's backpack?

Something I think is interesting that nobody ever talks about is that Dexter's backpack kinda... disappears between episodes, something that Dexter even highlights in his toy chest notes

(Him putting his backpack at higher propriety than his own body is also interesting, but not the point)

Now I imagine most people went "oh, Lila got rid of it", but that isn't in character for Lila: she keeps things around, even if they're broken or have bad memories attached. Hell, she even kept Dexter's rat trap and the melted remains of the Happy Fella, so there's no way she would get rid of his backpack

So if it wasn't Lila, where did it go?

I have two ideas:

Idea 1 is that in between Moloch possessing Dexter and Dexter searching the house, the giant spider took the bag and webbed it up, like with that... thing in a web behind Dexter in Unwanted Guest

Idea 2 is that the backpack was taken by whoever took Dexter's body and gave it to Patty, giving the backpack to either her or John and Jack... though this one would bring the further question of, why is Dexter labeled "missing" if Patty has his body and the cops have his backpack?

I'm the exact opposite, I feel an overwhelming sense of guilt if I pass up an opportunity to do or say something mean spirited. I'm just THAT petty and spiteful.

To answer your question. I gain sadistic glee that I cherish for at least a day. It's not about power to me, it's simply about the knowledge that I made someone's day just that little bit worse. >:)

Not to mention, coming up with hyper specific insults for people is just generally fun.

It bugs me when people are unnecessarily mean. Like, you didn’t have to make that comment. You could have just kept your mouth shut and left that person not feeling bad about themselves. What do you gain from making someone else feel like shit? Nothing of substance. Maybe a fleeting moment of power but that’s gone as soon as it comes so why? There’s enough unhappiness in the world without you adding to it.
