Love these goobers, whatever form they're in!

My take on human Bossbusters!

The Sounds of Nightmares episode 5 analysis: Getting Swept Away

Jord knocked it out of the park with the setting and monsters, the cliffhanger was fucking wild.

The Nebulous Figure:

The Ferryman is extending his comic MO further by trying to convince Noone not to come to the Maw, but to integrate into the Nowhere as a whole. And like in the comics, I believe he personally engineered Noone's suffering in the Counties, let me explain. I believe the Ferryman used a piece of his liquid like body to contaminate the stream by Noone's old home, causing her sickness, it's persisting effects and now, a tumor, funnily enough, one shaped like the universal symbol of Nowhere, an eye.

As Above, So Below:

Jord's monster concepts are killer, a treasure hunter mixed with a sewer worker is just a perfectly LN-like way of warping things into somewhat recognizable horror, a strange man sifting through a watery area searching for things to collect. The visual of his "bag head" is perfectly visceral and his parallel with the (curiously well adjusted, almost Bully-like) kids and the parallel between that and Otto and Noone is just *chef's kiss*.

Noone's comment about feeling the Treasure Hunter's been changed either just serves to confirm that all humanoid Residents were once people, OR it's suggesting he's become a Resident more recently, which is quite strange seeing as he's a full grown adult.

There's not much to say about the kids on the surface other than their a great twist on the "minor" monster idea with them being a more indirect threat.

NOMES!:

I'm astonished it took us this long the involve Nomes in the series, but it was more than welcome. Not to mention the first nome's "betrayal" has some very interesting implications for my and @queen0fm0nsterz 's idea that Noone's companions parallel the Ladies.

Leading Into The Ending:

Since I know everyone will be curios, I think the ending had the Ferryman warping through the screen, batting Otto away, and seizing the chance to take Noone, this time, permanently.

Bad boys (and a bad girl), great job OP!

Moles in many variants.. for @retr0scum ♥️

I'm bored so I'm gonna post my predictions for the rest of HB season 2

Episode 7: Similar structure to The Circus, one flashback with Blitz and Fizz at Mammon's concert, the second with Fizz working for Mammon and being miserable behind the scenes (maybe how he started working for Mammon in the first place), and lastly a scene/sequence at the end with Mammon in the present establishing him as a looming threat. Mammon will probably consider going after IMP due to another villain, probably either Crimson or Stella and Andre.

Episode 8: Stolas gives Blitz the asmodean crystals shortly before the gang get a new client and the episode follows them using the crystals for the first time while Blitz feels increasingly guilty. I get the feeling someone familiar might show up, like Barbie, the cherubs or the agents.

Episode 9: Blitz trying to fix things with Barbie and/or Verosika, probably the latter. I'm not sure what else we might see for the actual plot, but if we do see Verosika we'll also be getting more Tex content.

Episode 10: A weird, world-building episode in the vain of C.H.E.R.U.B, based on an old idea I had before the series properly started, a client jumps through a portal and assumes a ghostly form in the human world, with I.M.P. having to hunt them down. I really hope I'm right with this one

Episode 11: The most mysterious episode, there's a good chance this will be some completely new thing (or at least something following from something we haven't seen yet). If it is something already established then my money's one either the D.H.O.R.K.S or Stella and Andre, some people seem to think this will be another Crim episode, which is possible. A friend (who doesn't have a tumblr) suggested that this episode might introduce Belphegor, since she's implied to be a mad scientist, tough I find that highly unlikely I still thought it was worth noting.

Episode 12: Some big Stolas stuff, maybe the first time Stella and Andre personally try to carry out some scheme. Probably won't have anything to do with the plot, but we might learn about the Hellavrse's version of Krampus.

And that's all I've got, kind of hard to believe that by the time all these are put to the test we'll officially be half-way through the show. Feel free to discuss and suggest alternate ideas.

After seeing the new HB episode I've come to the conclusion that Crim is a blessed character and any episode he appears in will be more entertaining to me than most others.

Yeah, it's always fun when a villain starts to crack after losing to the main cast so many times, though Striker's done more than "start" cracking.

i love when men are literally bonkers
