I'm not going to name names, but someone dead-ass said that Moxxie's "well-known throughout the series for having bad aim" and I wanna know what show that MFer is watching, cuz Moxxie is NOT a bad shot! 🧵
Let us go through the evidence -
Does anyone else see parallels between Moxxie and Octavia? Born into wealth, expected to fill a role when they grow up, evil parent that has or is trying to murder the other. I think he could relate to her situation better than anyone else.
HC: Blitzo didn't mention or react to Crimson because he wanted to protect Moxxie.
Crimson didn't seem to recognize or remember him at all, but there's no way Blitzo didn't remember him. He picked up on Crimson's lack of reaction to him, so he kept his mouth shut -
I feel that Stolas doesn't get enough credit for saving the day in Oops. If it weren't for him, Ozzie would've signed the contract out of desperation, sealing Blitzo and Fizz's fates. Stolas is the real MVP here.
We never fully see Moxxie's mother's face in the flashback. Since it's from his POV and he was so little when she died, he probably doesn't remember what she looks like anymore.
Okay, so far,
🔹There's gonna be a court scene in season 3
🔹Blitzo and Stolas are getting a duet song
🔹Moxxie's half-latino confirmed
🔹The show's going on a 4-month hiatus
🔹The little deaf boy is named Oliver
Has anything else been revealed?

"Children have all the emotional capacity of adults and none of the experience in learning how to cope with it."
I can't overstate how frustrating it was growing up and being expected to have mastery of my emotions by age 7 without any guidance on how to cope or regulate.
2. Dominated the shooting gallery came and only "lost" bc the carney running it was a scamming scumb-bad.
(He's not even looking at the target and landed a bullseye!)
5. Covered Blitzo during the firefight with DHORKs, shooting right over his head, and Blitzo wasn't the least bit worried bc he trusted Moxxie with his life.
Pretty bold to trust someone who's "well-known for having bad aim" huh?
4. Kept Striker pinned down through warning shots that were close enough to rattle him but not graze him.
No, these were not misses. They needed Striker alive to find out who hired him. If Moxxie was trying to kill him, he'd be dead.
@Alrightpunk
I wonder if this also explains this trouble with spelling. Before the accident, his spelling was perfect (as we saw on the envelope for Fizz's card).
It's one thing to dislike Moxxie (which is illegal btw) but to spread misinformation, deliberately or not, about IMP's resident gun expert and sharpshooter being known for having bad aim?
Unacceptable! Moxxie-Nation, get the word out and make sure no one denies his skills!
Holy shit. So much Moxxie hate out of nowhere and for no reason.
I think people need a reminder about how he's a great character and a vital member of the cast. Love him or hate him, he's been there from the beginning and not going anywhere.
6. Dropped several DHORK agents trying to charge him, one by one, never missing a shot while switching targets in the fraction of a second - all while shooting in slamfire mode.
THIS guy. This man right here is the one "known for having bad aim?" Really?
You have got to be paying absolutely zero-attention or cherry picking bad-faith examples to say that he's known for bad aim. Even his viewers were calling him out in the comment section.
10. Landed a headshot on Kinnie and broke off a piece of her armor while she was being dragged passed him at high speed.
This was a tough shot to land and not only did he do it, but he avoided hitting Millie's tail.
I've been thinking about this scene for a while, and I think it's solid confirmation that imps can use magic. They're likely limited to low-level and maybe a few mid-level spells without the aide of an artifact or other casting component, but it's still magic. WDYT?
One of my favorite things about the new episode is that M&M were able to win on their own even when it looked like they were done for.
No backup.
No one coming in at the last moment to save them.
Just quick thinking and grit.
The disturbing thing about Moxxie's interaction with his father here is how quickly he got over being hit. One moment he's on the floor, and barely a minute later they're speaking like it never happened.
Moxxie was used to the beatings. ☹️
Moxxie is so underestimated that even some people in the fandom were surprised by this scene.
Guys, he's a contract killer. Small, agile, and deadly. These bikers were weak-ass bitches that only picked on people they perceived as weaker. Moxxie BAMF is real.
@Violet12O
That's why I love the image of them hugging themselves and crying. They're so much more like each other than they realize. She probably thinks he had it easy compared to her. Wonder if she'll ever find out how dark his past was?
- knowing that if he gave even the slightest hint that he was familiar with the mobster, it could jog his memory just enough to realize his connection to his son. He didn't want to risk dragging Moxxie into this by giving Crimson the idea of using him as bait.
@YaMosCat
I wanna think that this happened at the end of HMF. Just before they left, Joe came back out to give Moxxie a "Ya know what? I guess you ain't so bad after all." noogie.
That aside, as far as he knew, neither Striker or Crimson were aware that they had a common enemy. If either one were to realize the other also had it in for Moxxie, it would put his life in danger. M&M barely defeated Striker in a 2v1.
If Striker and Crimson were to work together to go after them, they wouldn't stand a chance. He probably knows it's only a matter of time before they realize they have a common target, so the longer they remain oblivious, the better Moxxie's chances of survival are.
This is it? This is the horrible, abusive, toxic work environment? There is absolutely no bullying or abuse here. Just a calm and straight-forward explanation that the job had to be passed on to meet a deadline. This "evidence" is a joke.
@Murrielberries
Holy crap! The foreshadowing goes deeper! On that note, look at Millie's expression. She's also panicked, but why? Then I remembered a line from HMF -
"How have you been with all the flaming twisters and stuff around here?"
@ADHDForReal
This sums up how I felt when I first started my meds. It was like easy-mode was unlocked and all I could think was how unfair it was that NT people got to feel this way the whole time and w/o medication.
This is also your daily reminder that Moxxie is a great husband and ONE instance where he snapped out of frustration doesn't change that, especially when he owned up to his behavior, apologized, and did right by his wife.
People need to understand is that you can NOT be a Millie-stan if you hate Moxxie. She won't tolerate anyone treating her husband like shit or saying that she could do "better." If you're a Millie-stan who does this, sorry (not) to break it to you but she'd HATE your ass.
@Violet12O
Moxxie's not a melee fighter, but he's shown improvement and skill in close range combat. He dropped his knife and caught it with his free hand when Barbie grabbed his wrist. It goes by so fast I think a lot of people missed it.
Moxxie is actively healing from years of abuse. He didn't get to learn and develop skills that most people do growing up. He wasn't safe in his own home. He's going to mess up, but he's making the effort to heal and be better. Let him make mistakes and learn from them.
@Violet12O
That's 100% a survival mechanism he developed growing up in an abusive household. I like to think that he was able to audibly cry with Millie for the first time in years.

I think he hit her. When we hear the smack, he stepped forward into it and she stumbled back. It also looks like he grabbed her and pulled her in to hit her, then forced her out of the room. He turns towards the door and slams it when she leaves.
The big mid-season special ep should've been about Octavia, not Fizz. No disrespect to him, but she's gotten far too little screentime for such an important character, and learning more abt her would've likely stopped all the bad takes abt her.
@Violet12O
If Striker's still working for Crimson after this, I think they're going to go after Millie. They both hate Moxxie, and Crimson knows that Moxxie's worst nightmare is any harm coming to his wife. M&M were barely able to beat Striker as a team, so -
@redthespian1
People seriously act like this means they're actively marketing toward kids. No, it's still an adult show made by adults and for other adults. It's the parents' decision if they want their kids to watch it. In this case, her parents/guardians are aware that she's watching -
If we can take a moment to talk about how important of a character Moxxie is. Not just in relation to his role in HB, but in that he brings so much comfort to fans and has allowed many of us to learn new things about ourselves.
I love this show! It's not perfect. No secret that I've had criticisms about it, but it's got heart, incredible animation, lovable characters, and a passionate team behind it. YT critics can nitpick all they want. This is a great show regardless! 💖🎉
Took the night to make this little tribute to SpindleHorse and
#HelluvaBoss
season one! looking back I am SO proud, and in awe of what this studio accomplished. The fact a chapter of this story was told, the fact I’m honored to work with all this talent. a dream ♥️ thank you all.
Gotta appreciate the length that IMP went to for Blitzo. They risked their lives protecting him w/o him even realizing the danger. Rest assured that they'll have his back in Apology Tour.
I mean, just look at what they went through for this man!
When Blitz, Moxxie, and Millie finally get their human disguises, there'd better be a whole-ass Sailor Moon transformation sequence for each character, and I mean whole-ass. Not just what we got in Seeing Stars.
@woofknight
Meanwhile, my POS sperm-donor would fly into violent temper tantrums over the tiniest of things, but no one ever pointed out his complete lack of anger management.
Nope, I was the one with the anger problem; little 7yo Metis. Not the grown ass man screaming and tossing chairs
On the subject of UC, why is no one talking about what an asshole Blitzo was in this ep? No, I'm not talking about him calling Moxxie a disgrace. This is about him stalking someone who doesn't want to see him anymore and ignoring her boundaries.
Canon until proven otherwise:
- Moxxie taught Millie to shoot
- Millie gets midnight zoomies
- Blitzo knits and crochets
- Moxxie and Loona watched the same cartoons growing up by they don't know it yet
I have an idea for a fic where Moxxie and Fizz become friends but I'm a little concerned abt the backlash. I'll likely still write it anyway but it's a little depressing to think abt the negative reception.
@jokergirl129
Oof, that's especially sad given his love of music and singing. She probably sang to him and it has to kill him that he can't remember her voice.
Moxxie never gives up. Even when he's outclassed, beaten and knocked down, he gets up and dusts himself off. He's a fighter who's more than earned his name!
I think this'll be the last thing I say on the discourse abt Moxxie's behavior in UC bc I'm just repeating myself and I stand by my argument. I'll still defend our boi but I'll just link this tweet or upload the images again.
I never understood the misconception that imps can't use magic or that only Loona knows how to use the Grimoire. The imps opened the portal at the end of Spring Broken and we know Barbie can use a human disguise.
[Moxxie and Blitzo having an argument]
Blitz: Oh yeah? The fuck do you have that I don't?
Mox: Hair.
Blitz: 😐
Millie and Loona: 😐
Mox: Hey, boss. 😏
Blitz: What?
Mox: Look what I can do. * tosses his hair magnificently *
Blitz: Go fuck yourself.
@captain998822
Awww, they all got ribbons from their daughters! Niffty is Alastor's adopted daughter and you can't convince me otherwise. I HC that after Alastor's rampage in "Dad beat Dad" Niffty cheered "Yeah! That's my dad!" like Loona did in Queen Bee.
I get that Blitzo is the MC but it is bad that I want at least one ep (not just a short) w/o him so that other characters can interact, develop, and grow? You can't tell me these 3 wouldn't be besties if given the chance to bond and sort out any differences.
So I'm workin' on Couple's Goals, writing a scene where Moxxie speaks some French, when I remembered the beginning of Unhappy Campers and -
It's canon. Moxxie's fluent in French. It's canon. Deal with it. Shut up.
@Violet12O
I HC that they sometimes go to a dive bar and have a competition to see who can get the most numbers from strangers by the end of the night. Winner gets to pick their RP for later that night.
