Yeahh agreed... I did still enjoy it a lot (and would've done the same as Octavia at 4:51 xD), but yeah it would've been SO satisfying actually hearing Alastor namedropped in Helluva Boss, especially with the writer already tip-toeing around it here... it would've just been the perfect opportunity.
![[2026] Pip's Birthday Unboxing
Having just ascended the stairs in the Hotel from an exuberant birthday celebration with an abundance of russet apple pie à la Lucifer, Cherri & Niffty's wrath cherry cupcakes (cherries imported of course), and Vassago's famously unforgettable crimson banana biscuits, Pip's made himself comfortable in a dark and cosy spot in the rafters right by his father's radio tower for a treat even greater than all the food – his gifts!
Pip usually basks in the spotlight of attention; however on special occasions such as this where he's received gifts, he's made it a tradition to unbox them in private as his habit of suppressing his facial expressions had always made him come across as indifferent and unimpressed whenever he's received gifts in the past, upsetting the people he cares about.
While he has been spoiled by his family his entire life growing up, he still recognises that all these people deciding to send him gifts even while being aware of his spoiled disposition is really something special which shouldn't be taken for granted.
So, after every gift he unboxes, he's writing back a letter of appreciation – and while he would never outwardly show it as that lack of restraint would hardly be becoming of a Morningstar prince, he is still enjoying every second of it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yjkdyq7w7ozpcrirnnvm7fxj/bafkreia3qkgnqev6jmdfueo2k5u7svx76dws2mbs3lznvp6t6t3skexjse)
