{{quote| '''K:''' ...God is so fucking me.<br />
'''Liz:''' Dude, you have no idea. }}
 
''Blip'' is the story of K, a girl that was never meant to exist, and is, according to [[Satan|Lucifer]], a great cosmic mistake on God's part. Because her actions have serious effects on other people and can greatly change the path of destiny, God has angels look after her and make sure she does not become anything special.
 
Among the cast are K's friends, most of whom are involved with the supernatural in one way or another, a couple of [[Chibi]] angels whose job is to censor K, a couple of little demons who like to beat up the angels, and a strangely [[Bishonen]] Lucifer.
