Hellboy is a fictional superhero created by writer-artist Mike Mignola. The character first appeared in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (August 1993), and has since appeared in various eponymous miniseries, one-shots and intercompany crossovers. The character has been adapted into three live-action feature films – two starring Ron Perlman in 2004 and 2008 in the title role, and one in 2019 which starred David Harbour, as well as two straight-to-DVD animated films, again starring Perlman, and three video games – Asylum Seeker, The Science of Evil, and as a playable character in Injustice 2.
A well-meaning half-Demon (or Cambion) whose true name is Anung Un Rama (“and upon his brow is set a crown of flame”), Hellboy was summoned from Hell to Earth as a baby by Nazi occultists (spawning his hatred for the Third Reich). He appeared in the ruins of an old church in the Outer Hebrides in front of a team assembled by the Allied Forces; among them, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, who formed the United States Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.). In time, Hellboy grew to be a large, muscular, red-skinned ape-like man with a tail, horns (which he files off, leaving behind circular stumps on his forehead that resemble goggles), cloven hooves, and an oversized right hand made of stone (the “Right Hand of Doom”). He has been described as smelling of dry-roasted peanuts. Although a bit gruff, he shows none of the malevolence thought to be intrinsic to classical demons and has an ironic sense of humor. This is said to be because of his upbringing under Professor Bruttenholm, who raised him as a normal boy.
Hellboy works for the B.P.R.D., an international non-governmental agency, and for himself against dark forces including Nazis and witches, in a series of tales that have their roots in folklore, pulp magazines, vintage adventure, Lovecraftian horror and horror fiction. In earlier stories, he is identified as the “World’s Greatest Paranormal Investigator”. Hellboy is noted for his positive relationship with cats.

Here’s a fun prank to pull on your roommate:
Wait until they have an out of state friend come down with stage 4 cancer. After they spend three whole days crying tell them you want them moved out. Lie to them saying they don’t have to worry about it until they get back.
Now here’s the fun part. Declare on your own that when they go to take care of them for a week that they’re moving out and not just going for a trip! Then when they get back, refuse them entry to the apartment!
And here’s the best part: if you did it right they spent almost two weeks away and had to live in hotels for a few days. Now two weeks have passed. APPARENTLY NOW THE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR PETS HAS TRANSFERRED TO YOU AND YOU CAN NOW LEGALLY GIVE THEM THE FUCK AWAY TO WHOEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT TO
they fucking what?
I’m going to vent about this on this website until everyone here knows my social security number. I’m having the worst month of my life right now.
When I left to help clean and shit for my cancer friend, I told them “I don’t know when I’ll be back”. They cited this to me in preserved text messages that this was to be interpreted as me declaring that I was moving out
I don’t know how they can talk themselves into hating me so much to do this in the first place. I don’t know how they can talk themselves into believing a sentence that says one thing can say a completely different thing while you’re writing out the literal words
I understand his wife hated me on day one and they want the space back so they’re acting on sociopathic self interest… but where does the fucking malice come from?? I can’t think of what I ever did to them before I enraged them by saying ‘no’ to this bullshit crime fuck
He dumped my shit on the street today and texted me that he walked off from it. A genuinely expensive rug cleaner disappeared (boy cat >_>). Noticed a lot of stuff missing too even from the photo he sent.
But the wild shit is that he left a tupperware of beans I simmered a couple days before I left. Just in the heat. It was rancid. What the fuck?? Just to be gross to me?
That’s so fucking petty omg
He used my cats against me today and it worked. I made a huge fucking mistake. I got into a text exchange with him about when I have to pick up my cats and I ended up saying something that could be presented as a threat. He was pretending not to be home and I said I bet he’d be home at midnight. My spare key to my storage locker where I have my cat carriers got ‘misplaced’ while I was gone and I literally can’t take them but he says he agreed to tuesday in front of cops so that’s that. So I say if he needs cops to negotiate I’ll come down right now. Then he fucking smiley faces me :) I’m not home. Well you can’t pretend you’re not home in the middle of the night, right?
They’re gonna fucking hang me with that shit. My glossy perfect legal case where they made all the mistakes just got fucked
Bonus points if they come out to you during those three days of crying and you tell them you want them out literally the next day after finding out
