Lurker of the thread deciding to give my two cents on the whole "Pilot isn't canon" issue.
On paper a pilot not being canon is fine and actually fairly commonplace (As @The Fair Lady said they're basically rough drafts, however it also doesn't help that many 'pilot' episodes that air on TV are really just the first episode, while they're often times heavily based on the true pitch pilot, they're often tweaked and revised before they air).

Comparing to another web series, while the pilot of Murder Drones is canon to the main series and in fact leads directly to it, it definitely has a more comedic tone than the 'proper' show. This isn't to say that the Helluva we're getting right now being so drastically different from the pilot that hooked people and even season 1 is at all common however, MD's horror elements were always there, they got more of a focus while still having the comedy to balance it, while Helluva has suffered a complete shift of its concept to the point the 'Imps kill humans that sinners want dead' pitch is barely even a fucking thing anymore.
 
Maybe I would be more inclined to agree with you Viv if a little more than half the episodes so far were mission episodes. Only 3 of the episodes are. I'm not counting the Spring Broken Episode since it's not really a mission; just a competition. I wouldn't mind it so much if there were more office shenanigans, but there's not. The past two episodes have nothing to do with the business, and barely about Blitzø himself. Usually, the less serious episodes happen first and ou build up to the serious ones. But I guess Viv wants to switch it up and start with the serious shit, and then devolve into silliness later on.
 
>Angel Dust calling Sir Pentious "Daddy" and making the guy actually think he was his son for second is now non-canon

Goddamn it, Viv.
She said the events of the Hazbin pilot are still canon

Pilots are basically rough drafts, but the fact Viv felt the need to point it out kinda shows that she wants people to stop bringing up how Stolas was originally more villainous and rapey. Can't say anything bad about her precious owl boy.
It's funny that this still falls flat with how the first episode, which is likely still canon, has Stolas calling Blitzo, knowing damn well he's fighting for his life at the moment, and that he'll be too stressed not to accept being extorted/prostituted into sex for the book, which is way worse than anything he does in the pilot. (I'm still annoyed, because the idea of Stolas directly giving them missions would have been better and more interesting than having to hear 50 shitty jokes every other episode about their sex life)

I guess this fat, give or take. Pic on the right was the most recent public apperance of her at GlitchX. Pic on the left looks pretty similar AFAIK.
Oof that room decor. I'm all for doing whatever makes you happy (I guess), but damn it's hard to not wince. She's 31 and decorates/accessorizes like a 15 year old.
I just really hope that's an enclosed display cabinet in the bg for her dolls/figs...

You see those Mouse Ears right directly behind her?
