Even a group of demonic assassins can have some heartwarming moments in their tale.

    Pilot 
  • Moxxie and Millie's marriage is very sweet, and they've been shown to be a very loving, functional couple.
  • Moxxie's song to Millie, where he describes how he loves that she's a terrifying murderous psychopath. It's surprisingly adorable. And then Moxxie notices Blitzo is filming them outside the window.
    Moxxie: Of all the imps in Hell,
    it's for her that I fell.
    Oh, Millie...
  • In his own twisted way, Blitzo really does care for his employees and sees them all together as a family, even if it gets lost through his stalker and overly hugging tendencies.
    • It is greatly displayed how much Blitzo cares about his "family" by the decorations in the I.M.P offices. On the walls there are three large portraits; one of Blitzo and Loona, an old circus poster of Blitzo and seemingly his sisters billed as "The Amazing Imp Siblings", and a third picture that Moxxie and Millie's marriage portrait has been taped over with a crudely drawn Blitzo hugging the couple. He also keeps bobbleheads of Moxxie and Millie on his desk.
  • As Blitzo tells Moxxie why they can't get rid of Loona, he says, "She's a valued member of our family, and we don't get rid of family." Loona actually looks up from her phone for a moment to smile at Blitzo after he says that before returning her eyes to the screen. She may be rude and apathetic to the others at I.M.P, but she does at least seem to care about Blitzo and be deep down grateful for the fact that he was likely the only person who treated her as an important member of a family . Made even more heartwarming after her backstory is shown.
  • It's Black Comedy at its finest, but I.M.P shows they're not heartless murderers when they rush Eddie (the human Moxxie accidentally shot) to the hospital and wait to hear about the kid's recovery.
  • In a "blink and you'll miss it moment, when Millie stands up for Moxxie after Loona insults him, you can see a small smile on Moxxie's face.
  • Look closely at the reactions of Blitzo, Millie, and Moxxie after Eddie smugly told Loona he doesn't talk to dogs because he's a "cat person": All of them look to the hellhound with sympathy, which is saying something since it's shown that neither Millie or Moxxie like her a lot. They even agree with Blitzo when he refers to Eddie as a "piece of shit".
    • Moxxie tries to stand up for Blitzo against Eddie, despite Moxxie having spent the whole video insulting and criticizing his boss.
  • Creepy as he might be, Stolas sleeping peacefully after his and Blitzo's one night stand — emitting tiny owl hoots with every breath — is absurdly cute.

    Helluva Shorts 
  • "Hell's Belles":
    • The bond that Millie has with her sister Sallie May is absolutely precious for the entire episode.
    • Millie is clearly so excited that she gets to see her sister and is pacing back and forth at the bus stop waiting for her.
    • When the sisters are playing the VR chainsaw fighting game, there's a brief glimpse of their chainsaw controllers, which are padded and don't spin. Considering the usual safety standards in Hell, especially the Pride Ring, it's nice to see that someone took the time to make sure players don't get hurt.
    • When Millie and Sallie May thrash a guy who was trying to hit on them, the bartender nods in approval and even gives the girls two free drinks.
    • At the end Millie says she will try to visit the Wrath Ring more often, and that Sal and their parents can come visit as often as they like.
    • Even Moxxie is shown to adore their bond as he opts not to disturb them upon walking in on the two watching a movie at home.

    Miscellaneous 
  • Millie and Moxxie are a mutually supportive couple, who obviously are each other's soulmate.
    • Many a commenter has agreed that these two demons have a more stable and loving relationship than most humans.
  • Some of the posts on the cast's official Instagram accounts are really cute, for example this one where Loona smiles genuinely after Blitzo gives her a bacon-flavored drink and Loona even referring to Blitzo as "Dad" in the same post.
    • Prior to the first episode, the Instagram blogs portrayed Blitzo and Stolas's relationship as still being complicated, but far sweeter and more mutual than what it would eventually become. Highlights include Blitzo throwing a care package through a sick Stolas's (closed) window, Stolas tucking a drunk Blitzo into bed with water and some aspirin, and the two watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron in their pajamas. At one point, Blitzo is kidnapped, and Stolas goes absolutely out of his mind with worry, and when Blitzo is finally rescued, launches to hug him so hard it blurs the camera.
    • As dubious as their monthly agreement may be, the post Stolas makes the day after, where he gleefully gushes about how adorable a sleeping Blitzo is, as sincere as it is potentially skeevy.
  • While doubling as Nightmare Fuel, the picture Blitzo posts to his Instagram after getting kidnapped is immediately met with responses from not only Stolas, but Moxxie as well, demanding to know where he is so they can save him.
  • The In-character response from Stolas about why their accounts were taken down has him OUTRAGED someone made his daughter cry, and giving whoever did it the bird (pun intended).
  • In an Instagram post after the episode "Truth Seekers", it turns out Blitzo and Stolas did use the bear traps for their sex night. However, Stolas admits they went a little overboard with them, resulting in him injuring his arm. Blitzo helps wrap it in a cast and drew lots of horses on it. The best part? Stolas complimenting on how beautifully Blitzo decorated it.
  • Another one for Blitzo and Stolas is that, for all of the relationship's complications, some merchandise portrays them as a rather cute and cuddly couple. Said merchandise is even released alongside similar pieces for Moxxie and Millie and sister-show Hazbin Hotel's Charlie and Vaggie.
    • One piece from the 2022 winter collection features Stolas and Octavia alongside I.M.P, making them look like one combined family.
  • Literally everything about Fizzarolli and Asmodeus. The two of them are cuddly, have fantastic loving chemistry when casually talking during breakfast, and Asmodeus shows incredible concern when it comes to Fizz going to Greed, implied to be one of the most dangerous rings in Hell.
