However, his birth parents were also killed during the Extermination, which would've most likely led to his own death had Alastor not decided to take him in on a whim, and his late teens were shaped by the horrific DomesticAbuse he experienced at the hands of [[ManipulativeBastard his first boyfriend George.]] All in all, Moxxie is still a rather damaged individual, but in a different way from his canon counterpart.

* BaitAndSwitch: Chapter 30 has a scene of a nervous Millie being circled by Rosie and her assistant Spiffy, humming and hawing about how something "simply won't do" and how they should "just get rid of it". Because Millie has spent most of the story [[InsecureLoveInterest worried that Rosie will find her to be "not good enough" for Moxxie,]] it's set up like Rosie is disapproving of Millie as Moxxie's wife... But then it turns out that Rosie and Spiffy were just criticizing the other assistant's choice of wedding dress for Millie;

* BeYourself: Discussed. Thanks to a combination of feeling intimidated by Rosie's high status, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot accidentally offending one of Moxxie's aunts]] at the first family reunion and being the main target for [[ManipulativeBastard George's]] mind games, Millie spends a good chunk of the story desperately trying to prove herself to Rosie [[InsecureLoveInterest as she's afraid that the Overlord will deem her "not good enough" for Moxxie.]] As a result, she simply goes along with Rosie's suggestions for the wedding, even if the proceedings stress her out and almost none of it is to her tastes. Her family notices this and urges Millie to just tell Rosie what she likes and make the wedding become something that ''both'' Moxxie and Millie want - After all, Moxxie loves Millie just the way she is, so why wouldn't his family? Especially since Alastor and Mimzy have already make it quite clear that they adore her. However, Millie eventually explains why she feels like she ''can't'' do that with Rosie as a subtle CallingTheOldManOut moment: Moxxie has been nothing but himself for the whole time he and Millie have known each other, but her family [[ObnoxiousInLaws has been anything]] ''[[ObnoxiousInLaws but]]'' [[ObnoxiousInLaws receptive of that and instead mocked and belittled him]] for not living up to [[TestosteronePoisoning their ideals,]] and Millie doesn't want the same thing to happen to her with Rosie. [[DramaticIrony Ironically, her worries are completely unfounded]] - Rosie loves her just as much as her partners do, meaning that her family is absolutely correct in their observation.

Soon, Moxxie comes out from the shadows with a BoundAndGagged Striker in tow and takes his place at the altar once more... Except it's revealed to not be Moxxie, but Striker in disguise, the two having swapped places thanks to a transformation spell placed on a pair of gloves (Which also means that Moxxie-as-Striker was never actually restrained and thus could free the others while George was focusing on his "husband"). George is then promptly shot in the hand by a freed Blitzo and punched in the face by Striker for his trouble, and the whole ordeal gives Charlie, Vaggie and Asmodeus, [[SummonBiggerFish who have been alerted to the happenings]] by [[SpannerInTheWorks Fizzarolli, Verosika, and Micole]], time to arrive and stop him once and for all.]]
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:occurs Occurs between Striker and Moxxie, downplayed Moxxie. Downplayed in that Striker didn't know Moxxie was his brother and immediately regrets his actions when he figures out their relation.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: Chapter 30 has a scene of a nervous Millie being circled by Rosie and her assistant Spiffy, humming and hawing about how something "simply won't do" and how they should "just get rid of it". Because Millie has spent most of the story [[InsecureLoveInterest worried that Rosie will find her to be "not good enough" for Moxxie,]] it's set up like Rosie is disapproving of Millie as Moxxie's wife... But then it turns out that Rosie and Spiffy were just criticizing the other assistant's choice of wedding dress for Millie;
--> '''Spiffy:''' [[YouHaveGOTTobeKiddingMe Really, Polly?]] A floor-length gown with a train for an outdoor wedding?
* BeYourself: Discussed. Thanks to a combination of feeling intimidated by Rosie's high status, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot accidentally offending one of Moxxie's aunts]] at the first family reunion and being the main target for [[ManipulativeBastard George's]] mind games, Millie spends a good chunk of the story desperately trying to prove herself to Rosie [[InsecureLoveInterest as she's afraid that the Overlord will deem her "not good enough" for Moxxie.]] As a result, she simply goes along with Rosie's suggestions for the wedding, even if the proceedings stress her out and almost none of it is to her tastes. Her family notices this and urges Millie to just tell Rosie what she likes and make the wedding become something that ''both'' Moxxie and Millie want - After all, Moxxie loves Millie just the way she is, so why wouldn't his family? Especially since Alastor and Mimzy have already make it quite clear that they adore her. However, Millie eventually explains why she feels like she ''can't'' do that with Rosie as a subtle CallingTheOldManOut moment: Moxxie has been nothing but himself for the whole time he and Millie have known each other, but her family [[ObnoxiousInLaws has been anything]] ''[[ObnoxiousInLaws but]]'' [[ObnoxiousInLaws receptive of that and instead mocked and belittled him]] for not living up to [[TestosteronePoisoning their ideals,]] and Millie doesn't want the same thing to happen to her with Rosie. [[DramaticIrony Ironically, her worries are completely unfounded]] - Rosie loves her just as much as her partners do, meaning that her family is absolutely correct in their observation.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Striker towards his missing little brother, the imp risking life and limb for years in order to find him again. [[spoiler:
* BoundAndGagged:
* BrideAndSwitch: [[spoiler: This is how George is finally subdued in chapter 44. After Moxxie's friends and family, alongside the other Happy Hotel inhabitants (sans Charlie and Vaggie), [[WeddingSmashers interrupt the hijacked wedding ceremony]] and Alastor pulls Moxxie (and Striker) into his shadow dimension to protect him, George gets the brainwashed guests to subdue them with angelic bindings, reveals that he's stolen Alastor's grimoire and threatens to have everyone in the venue killed unless Moxxie is brought back to him. Soon, Moxxie comes out from the shadows with a BoundAndGagged Striker in tow and takes his place at the altar once more...

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In [[PsychopathicManChild Velvet's]] flashback to the first time she met Moxxie, [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe she brings the five-year old imp back to the Vees' hangout after meeting him on the street with the intention of keeping him as a pet,]] [[AccidentalKidnapping unaware of the fact that Moxxie is Alastor's adopted son]] since the Radio Demon went to great lengths to keep their real connection a secret. When [[PapaWolf Alastor]] shows up to take Moxxie back home, he threatens the lives of all three of the Vees if they blab about it to anyone and then vanishes. The three Overlords are rather shocked by the aftermath... And then Velvet frustratedly exclaims that she forgot to ask Alastor if she could keep Moxxie.

* CrazyPrepared: Alastor is revealed to have taken some countermeasures on the off-chance that somebody with the ability to use magic would steal his grimoire; When [[BigBad George]] gets a brainwashed Goetia to open the portal to Alastor's shadow dimension to get Moxxie back at the ruined wedding, [[GenreSavvy he suddenly gets suspicious]] and tosses an ordinary wedding guest at the portal... Leading to the poor thing exploding into LudicrousGibs. Though this also backfires somewhat as George threatens to have Millie thrown into the portal and killed in the same way if Moxxie isn't returned to him.
* CreepyChild: Moxxie is shown to have been a combination of this and a CheerfulChild when he was little. He was a genuinely bubbly, kind and happy little boy... Who also saw nothing wrong with helping his Dad seeking out new victims to eat under the guise of a "game", [[DissonantSerenity giggling and clapping his hands at the prospect of a reward for "winning" while Alastor consumed his prey right in front of him,]] and another flashback also shows him giggling at a child trafficker who'd tried to kidnap him [[AssholeVictim getting eaten by one of Alastor's shadow servants.]] It all led to him becoming a legend in the Pride Ring and TheDreaded for being Alastor's "servant", even getting a FolkSong written about him that recommended that people either gave him a wide berth or treated him with kindness, lest [[PapaWolf Alastor]] showed up to decimate whoever tried to harm the boy.

* EntitledToHaveYou: George, {{Narcissist}} that he is, repeatedly demonstrates that he feels this way regarding Moxxie, whom he still considers "his" years after they broke up. As soon as he discovers that Moxxie is HappilyMarried to Millie, [[CrazyJealousGuy he goes mad with jealousy]] and starts making plans to [[AttemptedHomewrecker split them up]] so he can reclaim his "property"; All the while, [[InsaneTrollLogic he ties logic into knots]] to IRejectYourReality levels in order to justify [[ManipulativeBastard his behavior]], both [[DomesticAbuse past]] and present, [[NeverMyFault repeatedly denies any wrongdoing on his part,]] insists that he and Moxxie are "meant to be" and that Millie is "bad" for his former lover [[ItsAllAboutMe and refuses to accept that his ex is happy without him.]] In a conversation with Loona, his sister Micole flat-out admits that, while George ''does'' feel some form of genuine (if twisted) love for Moxxie, his feelings ultimately boil down to him seeing Moxxie as his possession that he can treat as he pleases.

When she's attacked and injured by some Sinners and accused of being a "spy from Heaven" on Christmas, Alastor goes ''ballistic'' and sets out with Moxxie in tow to find the culprits and kill them.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Downplayed.

[[spoiler: However, his repeated drugging of Moxxie ends up biting him in the ass and leads to his ultimate downfall; While he manages to brainwash the other guests, Moxxie turns out to have [[ImmuneToDrugs grown immune to the pheromones]] due to the sheer number of times George has used them on him. So, instead of actually being George's obedient little doll, [[PretendToBeBrainwashed he plays along]] in order to find a good opportunity to get the drop on his former lover. George, of course, is none the wiser, fully believing that Moxxie is under his control up until he's finally subdued and the deception is revealed.]]
* MoodDissonance: PlayedForLaughs. A flashback to a toddler-aged Moxxie getting a reward for winning his and Alastor's game (read: tracking down Sinners for Alastor to eat) leads to the two of them going to a toy shop. It would've been presented as just an ordinary cute father-son bonding moment... had it not been for all of the other patrons and cashiers being absolutely terrified of [[TheDreaded the Radio Demon's]] presence to the point where they simply let them have the child's guitar that Moxxie wants for free just to get them to leave.

Added DiffLines:
* ShoutOut: Alastor's failed attempt at Moxxie's birthday surprise is quite similar to one carried out by a certain [[WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats hat wearing llama
Added DiffLines:
* WhiteSheep: With his parents being cannibalistic serial killers, [[HitmanWithAHeart sympathetic hitman]] Moxxie falls under this trope.
* WorstWeddingEver: Millie and Moxxie's wedding ceremony goes completely off the rails when they both end up getting kidnapped by two different demons. After all you can't exactly have a wedding without the bride and groom present.

* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Moxxie got a lot of his love for murder from Alastor, the radio demon often using him as a sort of tracker during his childhood who either lured out potential victims or pointed Alastor in their direction. Moxxie looked back on these bonding activities fondly.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Millie towards George, justified in that she's both blinded by her own insecurities and was never told what Moxxie's relationship with him was [[DomesticAbuse really like.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: George is absolutely convinced that Millie is a bad partner for Moxxie despite having no evidence to prove it, going off the assumption that wholesome and healthy relationships simply don't exist in Hell so she has to be doing SOMETHING behind Moxxie's back.
* ItsAllAboutMe: What George's character boils down to. He's willing to ruin Moxxie's chances at stardom, destroy his wedding ceremony, endanger Stolas' life, and risk royally pissing off the radio demon all for his own selfish needs.

* ManipulativeBastard: George is a textbook example of this, playing on Millie's insecurities in order to push her away from Moxxie and leave her in a vulnerable position. Even attempting to produce false evidence that she's cheating on Moxxie.
* NeverMyFault: George will continue to insist that he did nothing wrong when dating Moxxie and that his parents forced them to break up, rather than Moxxie dumping him out of his own free will. Even flat out insisting that Moxxie would be better off with him than Millie.

''Growing Up Impish'' is a ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss''/''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' crossover fanfiction by [=CheyCartoongirl8=] and [=CynicalGenre=] on archive of our own.
Moxxie never really liked to talk about his family, it wasn't that he was ashamed of them but rather that they weren't exactly the most beloved demons in Hell so he learned to keep his mouth shut about them.
Unfortunately when an unexpected visitor drops by I.M.P. bearing an invitation to a family reunion, Moxxie has no choice but to introduce his wife and coworkers to his rather eccentric parents along with the rest of his family.
But how is he supposed to explain that the radio demon is his father?
the story can be read on ao3 [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31941520/chapters/79103614 here.]]

!!''Growing Up Impish'' provides examples of:
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Alastor establishes himself as this right away, complete with dad jokes and doting parental behavior from the moment he shows up. Rosie and Mimzy also get in on this to a lesser extent.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: occurs between Striker and Moxxie, downplayed in that Striker didn't know Moxxie was his brother and immediately regrets his actions when he figures out their relation.]]
* CannibalClan: Given that Alastor and Rosie are his parents, Moxxie's direct family certainly counts as such. Thankfully he hasn't inherited their unique tastes.
* DisappointingOlderSibling: [[spoiler: how Moxxie responds to the knowledge that Striker is his older brother.]]
* DomesticAbuse: George had this relationship with Moxxie, trying to control every aspect of the imp's life and even denying him his chance at stardom to keep him under his thumb.
* LoveObstructingParents: Alastor and Rosie to George. Unlike most examples this is a GOOD THING since George [[DomesticAbuse didn't exactly treat Moxxie well.]]
* ObnoxiousInLaws: When Vox married Alastor's mother, he formed this dynamic with Alastor.
* OverprotectiveDad: Alastor goes full throttle with this. Keeping Moxxie out of the public eye at all costs, ripping through entire sections of the pentagram when he thinks he's been kidnapped, and pretty much going ballistic on ANYONE who tries to hurt his son.
* ParentalAbandonment: Moxxie's parents died during an extermination shortly after his birth, thankfully Alastor was there to step in as his new father.
* SiblingMurder: [[spoiler: attempted by Striker towards Moxxie, he regrets it IMMENSLEY.]]
* UptownGirl: Millie is highly insecure about being this to Moxxie when she finds out he's a direct relative of several Ars Goetia demons and overlords.
