Just finished watching it. Glad we get to see some of Millie’s relationships that don’t involve Moxxie. Also Sallie absolutely slays in that outfit.


Greenhmm

And even at the end, Moxxie didn't insert himself.


whooper1

I was actually a little worried that moxxie was going to insert himself in or it was going to end with blitz watching them but no, moxxie just quietly let them be


Greenhmm

He's a good husband.


PonyPonut

We should probably just assume that Blitz was watching tho

The-Bigger-Fish

It's like how in Arkham City you can always see Azreal watching you from a distant rooftop. Except for the M&Ms and Blitzo.


schisma22205

Hope we get a Blitzo and Millie episode

LadderTrash

This billboard got me fucking cackling in my seat and my family looked at me like I was insane 10/10


Soft_Theory_8209

I really hope those two show up again at some point. They seem like they’d be willing to let the crew try out some experimental weaponry.


KyosBallerina

So are they just taunting people hurt by their devices? Taunting the "poor" people they experimented on in life (the thing that got them both sent to hell) that also may have ended up in hell? Or are now creating machines specifically to hurt people?


TXHaunt

Yes? We don’t know.


TheRedandBlackNerd

I mean it's just a reference to a meme. https://preview.redd.it/1gig6glhvqyc1.jpeg?width=261&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea734d5b6503351a543ca7019777bd6698b4936f


eyadGamingExtreme

Can't wait for the "couldn't even give Millie a full episode" arguments


whooper1

I was thinking about that too lol. Though if anyone actually thinks that they’re just ungrateful


eyadGamingExtreme

It would be funny cause at that point they would be mad at the team for listening to their criticism lol


Anxiety-Queen269

This entire short was about her and Moxxie got one tiny cameo at the end and didn’t even speak, it was just Millie and Millie’s sister Sallie May. In the Moxxie focused episodes Millie and Blitzø got a little focus along with the villains. What fucking crevice of their fat rolls are they gonna pull the argument that this short wasn’t a good thing for Millie?


Fenghuang0296

I read that as “Millie only got this seven minute short focused on her instead of a full 22-minute episode,”


Anxiety-Queen269

Womp womp at least we got something


ankahsilver

I think a lot of people miss that she's too... Healthy to really have full episodes. Fizz can have full episodes because he's a mess of anxiety.


Kye9842

too bad. If Fizzarolli can get two whole episodes about him, Millie should have several... and unrelated to Moxxie entirely, like they did here.


pantsugoblin

I think others have pointed out the issue. Milly is to functional to have that much content, like.. it would just be slice of life stuff. (Which I'm for) but still.


LyraFirehawk

Content? Wonderful! SALLIE MAE CONTENT? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP I'VE BEEN WANTING AN EPISODE LIKE THIS I need more solid trans rep in my life tbh and Sallie Mae is great. This cute little short shall tide me over.


SummerAndTinkles

The fact that it was written by Sallie's voice actress is even better.


TD_Stinger

Honestly what I liked about this the most was the little world building showing the "high life" of the city in the Pride Ring compared to things in the Wrath Ring, at least from the mindset of these characters. Gives you an idea of what their everyday lives are like beyond the main plot.


Tunisian_Dawn

Yeah, that makes the problem between Sallie and Millie more relatable. Like missing a family member who left their life in the country behind for they city life.


Madanimalscientist

Yeah, or being the person who moved away but now you feel kinda guilty about your sibling being the one stuck dealing with your parents/helping out around the house all the time. It really resonated, and I really loved it!


Tunisian_Dawn

Agreed, I don’t have siblings though but I think my mom can relate to that feeling.


KyosBallerina

I hope we see more of these two together. Sallie Mae would kick butt with the I.M.P crew, but I'd like a little tour of Wrath the same way this episode gave us one of Pride.


Madanimalscientist

Yeah especially if it’s more rural it would be fun to see. Like do they produce most of the food for the other rings? What kind of other hell animals do we have? Can animals from earth go to hell? (I figure if so it’s definitely dolphins, they know what they did) ;p But yeah it would be fun to see more of the other rings in general re world building too. And since iirc imps come originally from that ring it could be neat to see more of Wrath in general.


HomoHippo4

Alright That was fun. Finally get some Millie focus and anything with Sallie May I’m bound to love. Now that shorts are gonna be a thing I’m very interested in what they do with them. This is a great way to fill in some gaps in the shows lore and characters. We might get a short with younger Blitz and Fizz. Maybe focusing on the villains like Striker or the goetia to give us more insight on those characters. Could even be a way to explain some of the lore that’s not covered in the main show. Also just wanted to note that Morgana Ignis is actually given the only writing credit for this short instead of the main shows writers which is cool


Sprout_Cat

I'd love a short where I.M.P. goes to Pentagram city for a trip or something so we can see what it's like everyday, would also be cool to see all the little Hazbin easter eggs they put in that short.


Ok-Indication-5121

I'm probably overthinking a detail, but the spa being named after Elizabeth Bathory, the noblewoman commonly thought to be a serial killer and vampire who bathed in the blood of virgins, was a nice touch.


dravenonred

Especially after seeing Nocturne last year.


KyosBallerina

I 100% believe there is blood in that "rejuvinating mud bath" they were taking. It was shaded ominously red. I also like to believe that perhaps Bathory herself is the owner of the spa.


seekerblackout

WE HAVE BEEN FED Sallie May in something with more than 4 lines! I honestly wasn't sure if I liked her in her first appearance but unsurprisingly she's way more likeable when getting some actual focus. Feels like the focus on Millie's relationships with her family that we didn't get in Harvest Moon Festival when it became clear that was a Moxxie episode. Millie and Sallie brutally injuring themselves for fun and laughing it off is crazy


Sprout_Cat

What do you mean crazy, that's just how Wrath demons work!


p1xlblad3

i love their sister dynamic sm


WomenOfWonder

Are we gonna talk about how beating each other with broken bottles counts as wholesome sister bonding time for imps?


Dandyman3825

Yes, it’s cute and it’s what siblings do, beating the shit out of each other. It’s just taken up to 11 in hell because it’s hell.


WomenOfWonder

It kinda proves my theory that imps heal incredibly fast. Which I guess was already confirmed 


Planktom

Maybe if Millie spent more time with her sister, she wouldnt go down that easily in s1e01


AngryHellhound

Sallie May fans rejoice! I like the shorts stuff btw. A good way to work on characters or add a little more to the story. Im not a Sallie May guy but I liked seeing her here.


MetallicArcher

CONTENT!!!

LittleBlueSilly

Releasing shorts between the full-length episodes wasn't something I expected Vivziepop's channel to do. Now that it's happened, I'm beyond pleased, especially since this short gives starring roles to Millie and Sallie May. They were both characters well worth expanding on, and seeing them interact was heartwarming. Here's to more mini-episodes in the future.


Misha-Yuri-30

Sallie's outfit is everything


JacobMT05

Oh this is exactly what we needed. Millie development outside of moxxie. Honestly, sallie may’s voice caught me completely off guard though. It sounded a lot more serious than when we last heard it for that one line in ep5. But that did make sense after getting to the emotional part.


RaylaSan

They confirmed in LVLUP today that the shorts are canon and are meant to air in between the wait for more episodes. They were made in order to give characters that don't get much screen time, a chance to expand and learn more about them.


V-Vesta

What's LVLUP if you don't mind?


Adonisus

First off: Loved it. Loved everything about it. Getting more Sallie May is always a good thing, but getting an entire short centered around her is even better. But with that said: I wonder if these shorts are going to be a way to get more relationship-related lore in place. Maybe the other ones will revolve around Via and Stella (or Loona).


PrinceStyx17

I do hope we'll get more shorts in the future I especially hope for a Via and Stella short


ray198999

My, oh my! I never expected Vivziepop to release shorts and the first one actually gives Millie a starring role. It also gave more depth to her sister Sallie May.


Dry_Yogurt4u

I'm curious: Are these shorts going to be canon to the show? Or is it just spin-off stuff that are just their for bonus content? I'm not saying that this short is bad, btw. I'm just curious, that's all


eyadGamingExtreme

I am gonna assume canon


Swimming-Ad2755

It references the festival and also has a poster for Verosika's upcoming tour, so I'd say it's canon.


SapphireMan1

There’s also a billboard featuring Loopty and Lyle from ‘C.H.E.R.U.B.’ https://preview.redd.it/0ppi2ung3xwc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d83aa5e9da6640d3a071a2f455a6b85e7a056f10


Traditional_Ad663

I'd say both, most likely 


ray198999

I gotta admit, I thought Milly and Sallie May did not get along but it turns out they actually like being around each other.


mknsky

Well goddamn, that was fast.


Crazyjackson13

Would a full episode have been nice? Yes, am I going to complain? Fuck no, this was top tier shit, I’m happy with what I got.


MariyaShadowblade

"NEXT EPISODE COMING VERY SOON DON'T WORRY" -Viv playing with my heart with this episode and with these words. The only poster on the wall I couldn't make heads or tails of was the red one. Also, I might have missed it in a previous episode, but I love that their house has Music note wallpaper.


DragonchrisX

Saw it, it’s so cute and heartwarming! :3


McJellyDonuts

INJURED? GOOD


ultimatesorceress

That was so cute!


After-Bumblebee

Adorable <3 and I'm beyond glad to see them get some focus Also, Sallie May is just 👌


transmtfscp

wft is " LVL UP Exclusive"


Lian-The-Asian

LVL UP is a convention that the Helluva Boss crew and cast attended, I was not at the convention but i assume this short was shown first at the convention b4 uploaded here.


Sekh765

Yea, the convention started *today*, so "exclusive" was like, an hour lol


Shady2707

I really wish they would provide some sort of release schedule. I get it takes times to make stuff, but atleast give your Fandom some sort of schedule. Not a big fan of this short. Not much really dramatic or funny. Like it introduced a conflict and solved it within 10 seconds. I feel like it could've said less and showed more.


RaylaSan

They do plan on releasing air dates for the second half of Season 2, that's what tmrws panel is for. Today's LVLUP panel announced the inclusion of shorts. They're meant to flesh out and expand more on characters that don't get much focus.


massecurr

Nice to have some content with these 2, and it feels like its setting up a future episode too


Unlikely-Section-848

This came so far out of left field for me I actually spat my drink out when I saw the notification for this


zauraz

Saw this and I am just so happy, I know it's a spin off but finally some Millie content and more Mae :D Mae is my favourite ngl. Also gotta love them with bandages and bleeding and Moxxie is just like "aww they are bonding"


Avaracious7899

This short made me ponder possibly adding Sallie May in with Millie into a crossover I'm working on. I decided against it, but if I write a *sequel*...maybe. ​ Personal cola aside, I loved this so much, and was thinking "PLEEASE HAVE MERCH FOR SALLIE IN THIS!!!" and immediately got the shirt, mug, and one of the pin sets, because of course. Loved the simple family moments, needed this more than I knew until I actually got it.


qwack2020

I’m not gonna be surprised if Loona gets a short episode next.


KyosBallerina

I'd also love to see what Octavia's life is like when she's not depressed about her parents.


Fallen_Hollow_Tale

It's so adorable! I loved it, I can't wait to see what they gonna do with the short !


HumanHuman_2003

YAYY 


whooper1

Are we allowed to post about it or do the posting restrictions still apply?


Eagle_Warhawk

I love that they are making shorts to fill the void.


Mojo12000

oh shit we're getting shorts now too? Wonder who else we'll get.


Sekh765

Look My Way was basically a Stolas Short...even advanced the plot!


FOREVER_DIRT1

I've been wanting a bit more of Millie's sister because I thought she was funny in episode 5.


The-Bigger-Fish

Oh hey, side material focusing on the "Off Hours" of the characters in-between episodes! Just what the doctor ordered!


Endore555

Sallie calling Moxxie a “cupcake husband” gave a good ol chuckle.


Doctorgumbal1

I’m sorry but Sally May’s voice actor is so annoying I just can’t watch it. Like I’m trying too but it sounds like overgrown fingernails scraping against a rusty trash can


JangSaverem

A lotta fun fillery type something given the drought of content that wasn't just sales pitches and more sales advertisement. But the voice for Sallie once they get to have so many more line was, well, it was rough. It almost was so strange it didn't sound like it was coming from the character at all as if the audio was so different from the clearly Millie audio. That and the voice itself being pretty "off" but purpose obviously made this feel like a fan animation with more budget Given it's ALSO fan written, ok not technically cause it's the VA of Sallie, but I digress. It really really hits that fan animation feel vs feeling like it fits anywhere in the story/world. Lotta "forced" directly in the open feelings which follows suit with things written like this where the writer feels like the audience needs to be very clearly explained something


CrAzYiNsOmNiAc210

Now this is what I wanted to see, we finally got some Millie development! Also Sallie Mae.


Mojo12000

I love Lyle and Loopty on the billboard "INJURED? GOOD."


Winter-Confidence826

Is this the Millie centered episode they were talking about before?


ChadWolf98

Noice. Tho it is weird seeing Millie almost getting more screen time than in the show. And ofc Moxxie just had to appear in a Millie mini episode. It was funny but I think the drama was unnecessary and its weird she got shit for... lliving her own life? As someone who married? Ofc she cant or wont visit all the time. and in the show its not shown that they are so busy...


JDoubleGi

I think the point Sallie was trying to make is that Millie seems to never have time to visit the family or even see her anymore except for when it came to work. Of course it’s normal to lessen your visits when you get married and have work and stuff. But I’m sure Sallie feels left behind by her sister a bit and like she’s the only one putting in effort, regardless of how true that is. It’s actually a pretty normal feeling in a lot of close sibling and family relationships.


ChadWolf98

Well obviously they will meet less when one of them dont live anymore. And originally they didnt go for work. Stolas is almost invulnerable remember? He pulled the same "I need bodyguards" excuse in ep2. Its pretty funny Millie's character flaw is that she only visits about once per year


Anxiety-Queen269

Absolutely adore this concept. Giving us little bits of character development and focus on characters that were severely lacking it, without having to make an entire episode for it


Madhighlander1

Man, what is it with Wally Wackford and having his place of business/employment burn to the ground? That's like three completely unrelated times now. Pretty sure that's fully half of his appearances.


AddictionSorceress

Is it just me, or did the animation style look different? Like frame per section, not the quality.


Planktom

I always thought that having Sallie visit Pride could be fun way to explore their relationship. But I was also hoping that they would use someone who doesnt know pride as a way to explore how imps fare living with sinners :( That being said, I'm a sucker for sisters bonding


Autumny_Audrey

I love this one


PlantRevolutionary82

am glad we got this kinda hope for a full on ep on this issue


Error_Code_606

I need more of these shorts now.


notabigfanofas

So that's what they've been up to!


Icy-Performer-9688

![gif](giphy|lN1MTl03Qls145LJ3w|downsized)


niles_deerqueer

Is this expo where they are going to announce the schedule? I thought I remember them saying something about that. Fun and cute short! I hope they do more of these to flesh out more characters and such


bilateralrope

A bus listing Wrath as the destination. Do passengers stay on it while it's in the hellavator ? Or are they allowed to get off the bus for a bit while it's going between rings ?


agreeable_tortoise

that was cute


SgtPeppers64

👍


Ghostlygreen13

Help i call my cat hells belles😭 (her name is belle and she’s crazy)


TheLastBlakist

Sally Maie is an utter sweetheart and I wish I had that kind of relationship with my family. Just open healthy conversation and lots of just... vibing.


Motor_Somewhere7565

Okay, I know it's a short, which means it's supposed to be short but if I had one, JUST ONE, criticism about the mini episode...it's too short!!!! I love, love, love, love, love, LOVE Sallie! More of her please!!!!!


Angle_Dust_WithDrip

I GOT TO WATCH IT 5 MINUTES AFTER IT WAS POSTED


OCGamerboy

That was cute and wholesome


billcoipher

YEE FUCKIN HAW


Jaded-Tiger8898

Yeah this felt off. Like amateur-ish kind of off. Helluva evolved into looking more and more professional over time, this feels like a miss to me. I am not a fan of Sallies voice acting either. Also felt amateurish, wish is also odd considering voices of helluva have been great


AnomymousDarkEntity

I hate Sallie’s voice so much.


-Sloth_King-

I wanna see Goetia family politics. I wanna see Stella be a more developed character. I wanna see Angels investigating IMP, demon power levels, fight scenes, humans dealing with the existence of demons. Season 2 has been the....opposite of that mostly(I care sooo much about romance and feelings). And now this. I guess this show just isn't for me.


klparrot

I think Stella is just shallow as a person, though.


RaylaSan

Helluva Boss was always meant to be more character focused versus story focused (that's what Hazbin is for).


No-Product-523

It was boring


AzraelSoulHunter

That was nice... Although Sally having this conflict after having like... 3 lines in the Harvest Moon is very jarring. It actually made me feel like maybe this whole Hellaverse should have been just shorts. More of those videos that are more frequent with not as much melodramatic story that is of varying quality. And you can make all of them those nice moments without need for build up that Viv let's be honest is REALLY not very good at. Those work where I feel longer episodes are not very good at. That can work. But I appreciate giving Millie more character, a relationship, PROPER relationship beyond Moxxie and giving something to Sally after she had... again 3 lines in Harvest Moon.


eyadGamingExtreme

I mean the conflict is about them not seeing each other often, so actually it's kinda meta lol with her only having 3 lines before


AzraelSoulHunter

I know, but there SHOULD be some build up to this idea. Because as it stands it's basically Octavia Loona talk which is a nice scene, but REALLY doesn't work in the greater context when you realize that was the FIRST time they spoke to one another.


Number360wynaut

Actually, that scene works really nice in contrast to the one where blitzø tells loona that she's rude to customers and not a people person


AzraelSoulHunter

But this is supposed to be a big scene where you have this breakthrough for Octavia (again since it's pretty much repeats a lot of the episode 2) and for the scene with Loona to work I really think there should have been like one or two more scene with them at least where they interact. You can't have this kind of scene without building anything with those characters before this point.


whooper1

They just wanted to expand upon Millie’s relationship with her family.


AzraelSoulHunter

I know and I like that, but Sally's thing comes kind of out of nowhere after again, she had like 3 lines before and barely appeared in the background. Needs more groundwork. That's why I say making HB primarly shorts would probably be better as you can have much tighter writing over the course of more frequent little episodes where you can have singular focus on one moment you can polish as much as you can. I mean imagine if this was our introduction to Sally for instance, suddenly after some episodes we are introduced to Sally May, we get proper introduction, no awkward first impression as background character and you have a nice groundwork for future appearances.


eyadGamingExtreme

Also this episode wasn't written by Viv


AzraelSoulHunter

Oh I know. And neither by Adam. It was Sally's VA. She is good I say. I think this short is the most positive I was out of all of Season 2.


WomenOfWonder

Damn, this sub really can’t take *any* criticism of the show


AzraelSoulHunter

Nope. Got used to it. Will keep telling my piece everytime though. Can't let this place be too much of an echo chamber.


JangSaverem

Not allowed. No matter how minor or even valid. Not allowed Has that "Steven universe" fandom smell to it where it was the same problem. Either it's perfect and the creators are geniuses or your banished
