I'll admit it!

I prefer Striker as the fraud that he's showing up to to be than the completely capable jerk that he was in his first episode.

Because that's what he is: a hypocritical faker that is basically Blitz's foil and antithesis.

Compare the two, if you will.

Both are very ambitious imps who don't take no for an answer, hate being told what to do and don't intend to let society or classist views tear them down. And they're both very charismatic leaders to boot.

There's a reason why Blitz was impressed by Striker, and the latter considered the former a "credit to his race": game recognizes game.

But that's where the similiarities end.

Because there's one element that makes them VERY different characters, and makes sure Blitz would NEVER join him.

Blitz may believe that he ruins lives everywhere he goes, but the truth of the matter is that his proud charisma has charmed others to take charge of their own destinies, and his belief in others (Moxxie included) has changed their lives for the better.

Moxxie escaped his mafia family, Millie found the courage to believe that she could achieve much more in life, Loona was saved from a sure death in the pound, Stolas took charge to make his own choices in life, and Fizz is living a happier life with Asmodeus rather than the awful circus run by Cash.

Blitz lifts others up to let them achieve more than they would've ever believed.

But Striker?

He kicks his fans, brutalizes Millie and especially Moxxie, he fancies himself to be worthy to work for the royals he so "wants to bring down". He views ALL imps as inferior to him, and only Blitz could match him if only he could join him.

Striker isn't a hero for imps: he's a buffoon with a huge ego who constantly builds himself up by bringing everyone down. And Blitz does NOT take kindly to anyone who disrespects his team.

His modus operandi isn't to benefit imp kind, it never was: it was all about him and his pride.

And this makes him a LOT more compelling.

-Sincerly, a Helluva Boss fan who thinks Striker is much better in his following episodes rather than his debut.

I am reminded of how he treated the smaller imps who sang his theme-song. You know, the ones who told Millie where to find his hideout, later?

He has access to community, but he's isolating himself, likely in the name of being a "Rugged Individualist Lone Wolf who looks out for Number 1."

I have a feeling that the bit with the singers won't be the last time that pushing people away to focus on his solo career will bite Striker in the back.

It's really funny when people think Iran is a desert cause we literally have forests in the north?? The Caspian sea is right up there?? Buddy they're still shoveling snow in Sabalan lmaoo

Visual reference:

Iranian mutuals mentioned that other provinces like Kurdistan and Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari are missing so here you go ;)

I'll try to list other provinces later but feel free to add your own

Uramanat, Kurdistan province

Sirvan lake, Kurdistan province

Saraab cave, Shar-e-Kurd

Gandoman lagoon, Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province

i was gonna just leave this in tags but i felt i needed to add the picture: it's wild how people don't get how big iran is, obviously it's racism people just don't care and assume "ah must be a bunch of primitive desert huts" or whatever but like, imagine writing off this whole area as probably some desert because there's a desert in the middle and ignore the whole ocean and two mountain ranges and all the forests and whatnot like even if it was just as big as california that's pretty huge and diverse as climate and geography

I’m sure I’ve reblogged this before but it hits home so hard so I’m reblogging it again!

kinda funny when online discourse can be refuted with ‘I was literally there’

I’ve been listening to the people in the apartment below me have arguments for two years now and I still can’t figure out what language they’re speaking. The best I can narrow it down is like if Portuguese and Hebrew had a baby. Is that a common pidgin combination

I just listened to a clip of this and jesus christ you fucking got it. there are like 3500 people in the whole united states who speak this and two of them are in a very fraught marriage four feet below me

i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better

are you really bad at it or are you in "good at it" spaces

Me: ah shit, I misidentified that yellow rumped warbler as a female goldfinch, I should literally be hung at the gallows for this. I'm such an IDIOT

My friend, pointing at a vulture: check out that fucked up crow lol

never thought Disney would be bold enough to address the strain on Nick and Judy's relationship after the abortion

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

what the fuck

I get a feeling that he must have stepped squarely on the last one and gone through it.

This is definitely the big steppy of someone who has broken the thing before

y’all my friend decided to investigate what was blocking their drain system and you are not prepared for the answer
