The news we deserve
"In India, a car carrying a sacrificial goat fell off a bridge. Four people died. The goat miraculously survived."
Blitz has an amazing reaction!
No, I understand, he's a murderer, an assassin, a former acrobat, just a professional in his field, but... Just think about the number of his exes, and the fact that he still doesn't have a biological child. Jewelry work.
It's a very interesting article, it makes you think about a lot. The only thing I want to add from myself: They allow others to touch their horns for cosmetic purposes, for example, to polish and sharpen, and clearly do not feel any discomfort that strangers do this.
I’m convinced we’ve been getting lore hints about imp horns, but I’m not sure what exactly they’re leading up to…
Imps DON’T touch each other’s horns, not even during combat (at least, not that we’ve seen “on camera”). The only exception I’ve found is Crimson, and that’s likely only after he’s already offed them.
The only instances I’ve seen where someone DOES touch an imp’s horns is indirectly. And both times they were presented in a negative context.
Now, this isn’t me trying to bash Stolas bringing this up (Season 1 Stolas is a completely different personality to Season 2 Stolas, after all), but Stolas putting out his cigarette on Blitzø’s horn was a pretty demeaning action. As further evidenced by Stolas immediately following up by baby talking at Blitzø while simultaneously pinching his cheek. Blitzø obviously doesn’t enjoy the treatment, but he doesn’t exactly say anything either, even with him pushing Stolas away. So it’s hard to say if some unspoken boundary was crossed with the indirect contact with his horn, or if he was aggravated at the perceived condescension.
Then, there’s that entire scene with Rolando forcing Blitzø to relive the worst moments of his life. From start to finish, Blitzø is distressed and highly uncomfortable. Making it really interesting that in the midst of this “show”, Rolando adds chains to Blitzø’s horns. Making it even harder for Blitzø to look away and adding even more to his distress. Again, hard to say if Blitzø’s distress is due to his horns being chained or to the whole situation in general.
Though circumstantial at best, it can’t just be a coincidence that both times an imp’s horns were touched on camera were by non-imp beings, and both instances happened to Blitzø in particular.
Then there’s the whole medical aspect to take into consideration with Fizz. After the accident, Fizz’s horns were destroyed along with most of the rest of his body. But unlike the prosthetics for his arms and legs, Fizz doesn’t do anything for his horns. No horn prosthetics or plaster or anything! They don’t even file down the jagged edges to help prevent further damage or to keep them from catching on things from day-to-day life.
There’s more to imp horns than we know. Fizz’s unwillingness (inability?) to do anything more than hide his horns has to hint at something. That scene dedicated specifically to showing Fizz’s horns immediately after the fireworks exploded definitely was implying something. That dying red light on Fizz’s horns has some horrifying implications. Especially with the cracked edges being blackened (dead?) in the midseason special.
Lastly, there’s Sallie May. I won’t speculate too much here because we haven’t exactly seen what her story is, and I don’t want to make assumptions about her or her perceptions of self. Especially when she hasn’t gotten to show up as much yet.
The short of it is, she doesn’t paint her horns. But she does paint her hair. Or at least puts splotches of white paint in her hair to give the perception that her horns are painted. And that’s the extent of it.
So to reiterate, imps don’t seem to touch their own or each others’ horns. Except for in negative contexts or purposes. Horns can’t be changed medically or cosmetically. And they possibly have more feeling in them than we originally thought…
I just KNOW this has to be leading into something in the future. I just don’t know WHAT!
I need to know more
[Edited: I was wrong about Sallie May’s hair color being an indicator of her purposefully not coloring her horns. But I’m keeping the bit in to help people understand my thought process]
