This is the only time I've seen the miscommunication trope done in such a believable and organic way. Such good writing by vivsy and acting by Brandon and Bryce. (Along with the facial expressions being so real for a cartoon!) It's actually insane
Yeah, often the miscommunication feels very forced and contrived (most often, its one line heard out of context) but here we are shown, that the two are just way too deep in self loahting to understand each other and this fallout was therefore inevitable.
that last mouth quiver of stolas before breaking down and the sudden realization of Blitz realizing his words were hurtful oof if i was in this situation i would be dying metaphorically and getting trashed that night.
The fact Stolas was out of antidepressants at the beginning too... he's running purely on his depressed, self deprecating motifs which didn't really mesh with Blitz's whole meltdown.. "I'll believe him and not the voice that says I'm not enough!" And then Blitz says exactly what Stolas has been thinking. GUHH I LOVE THEM BOTH GAW DAMN
I keep waiting for people to point this out! And not just the not enough part, blitz also confirms that he really does see Stolas as this monster who's just been abusing his power this whole time!
@@desimosi579 yes! and i dont blame blitz for seeing royals like this, but i DO think he really shouldnt have fucking screamed at him. the whole situation is a mix n match of faults
@@unryles Blitz was trying to talk once he realized he wasn't joking but Stolas was too in his feels (probably from running out of antidepressants) and decided to walk away, shutting down the whole conversation, even out right saying you don't have to say anything I already have my answer. Which would obviously piss blitz off because he shut him down which is where he gets confirmation (in his mind) that Stolas doesn't actually care what blitz has to say. And blitz saying that he won't let him ask how he feels only to dismiss him and that he WILL be heard. And of course Stolas only hears what he's the most scared to hear, that blitz, the only person he cares about what they think, also see's him as this heartless monster who only took advantage of a situation, just like he already sees himself.
I feel like even with antidepressants, Stolas' reaction was understandable. What do you want to do? Put him on a ball and chain, and say "no blitz, open your heart, I can fix you 😍" You cant force anyone to be with you in the way you want, you have to let them go.
I love Nux's analysis of their argument. I've seen so many just take Stolas' side, but you completely understand both perspectives. If only these two could just sit down and talk.
I personally have been seeing a lot of people take Blitzo's side as well. It's honestly really frustrating seeing people pick sides, as that's not the point. The point is that they both messed up in the situation and need to change if things are to become healthy. It especially makes it worse when I see people arguing with each other because of the side they picked.
I mean what else do people want Stolas to do? He has been showing for months that he doesnt care about the sex and he has handled the conversation really well. I dont understand why people act like Blitz lashing out was justified when it wasnt. Its not that Stolas didnt "give him time to think." Blitz literally ruined that HIMSELF by making fun of him. I know he did that unintentionally bc of his fucked up trauma but regardless he did that. Do ppl want Stolas to accept this fucked up treatment bc Blitz doesnt know how to react in a healthy way? Why do people want Stolas to constantly be Blitz's punching bag and accept whatever bs Blitz throws at him bc of Blitz's trauma? They both made mistakes in this relationship but except for the beginning of teh convo that could have been worded better from Stolas, i dont see what else ppl want stolas to do? He was on the losing side no matter what he would have done bc Blitz needs to work on himself first. And no matter what Stolas does or would do it will result in the same reaction. I understand why Blitz acts the way he does. I understand why he thought it was out of blue. But his obliviousness, projection and self destruction doesnt give him a pass to act this way.
Nux is the type of person to piece together the most complicated of storylines while simultaneously be unable to see all the context clues from previous episodes about Blitz being a brony
Blitzo has always had a huge horse love. Even as a child he made that balloon animal of a horse. Verosika claimed they broke up after he stole her car and maxed her credit cards on horse riding lessons.
i love that even in his rage the last thing blitz was about to say before being teleported out was "WAIT STOLAS IM S-",even when lashing out he wanted to apologize,even while lashing out he was like "im not letting you get rid of me",incredible writing showing how blitz is trying desperately to hide how much he cant live without this relationship
YES THIS I SAID SMTH SIMILAR WHEN HE SAW STOLAS' REACTIONS ALL THE CONFUSED-ANGER/UPSET JUDT DISSIPATED Before Stolas...dismissed him (👀) from the manor, he had no intention to run or storm out. Which for me means that this was the 2nd crucial spot in the conversation where things could've taking a turn into positive progress/sincerity. First being when Blitz thinks its roleplay. Maybe the happy pill withdrawal is why that conversation didn't continue with a "🖐 I'm...not roleplaying." And bc of Look My Way I thought/hoped before the episode that it'd be like "crystal. Feelings. Please think about it, and if you want that with me, I'll be here/waiting patiently." Im rambling but I'm sorry, the way he started the conversation was the _worst_ 😅 and "a minute to think" is generally agreed on by reactors I've seen. TL;DR I said something similar to you! But also, it's stuck in my head that there were two key/crucial moments in the conversation...dang, where I guess I wanted Stolas to do smth specific. (Also happy pill factor)
emotions are tough i also saw someone mention that Stolas said sorry but its a whisper on the breeze right after he teleports blitz i can almost hear it but cant tell
@@williamjacob2060 ohh I thought that was like ambiance or spell whispers I _did_ hear it though, and iirc it did sound kind of like sorry. It started with an s
@@HellsingRuler not only Striker's horse, but like he literally pulls out his collectible toy horses all the time. You see it in S1E3 Spring Broken, he pulls out a toy golden horse for a second, and there's a horse doodled on the "OUR BUSINESS" paper, he pulls out a marijuana horse in the C.H.E.R.U.B ep "MY CLIENT PAID IN ADVANCE I SPENT IT ALL ON THIS!", and is playing with horses while watching his horse show before Ozzie calls him in the mid season musical special. Also when striker threatened blitz with the "I will break you like a fuckin horse" blitz goes "OOOH DONT YOU DARE THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME" and fizz says "YOURE STILL ON THE HORSE THING!?" meaning his horse obsession dated back to even before the explosive incident.
Not only blitz is a brony, he's also a clopper. In exes and ohhhs, he had the filing cabinet chock full of imps in equestrian costumes in various compromising positions.
50:29 Quick FYI, Fizz and Blitzø aren't brothers, they're just friends. But yes, it's very tragic how Blitzø can't see genuine Stolas is being because he feels so unworthy of love.
I mean tbf to blitz if i caused a fire that blew up my best friend, killed my mom, and made my entire remaining family hate me, id think im unworthy of love too.
Tbf they grew up together in the circus, and Blitzø's dad treated Fiz like his son. We don't actually know of Fiz had any parents, or if he was an orphan unofficially adopted by Blitzø's dad. I mean, the man certainly felt he had the authority to sell Fiz without asking anyone else, and that's more than just his power as the Ring Leader. So even if they're not technically siblings, they might as well be.
they're past friends, Blitz was gonna tell him he felt more than that, but then his dad was giving Fizz all the attention and that led to the fire that fucked everything up.
They aren't blood related, but they're basically brothers. Grew up together inside the circus and everything. And from the looks of the flashback we have, I also wouldn't be surprised of Fizz had been taken in by Blitz' dad as an orphan, since we know nothing of Fizz' parents
I feel like the show was teasing us about it in the first few minutes of the episode, so that when Loona finally spoke, I was way more hyped then I should’ve.
Nux trying to explain their communication issues to yet another Helluva fan who can’t separate fanon/headcanon from the actual show (and therefore can’t comprehend the idea that Stolas has FLAWS and isn’t a perfect innocent uwu bean) was actually painful On the flip side, great job analyzing and explaining, Nux! I love your channel because you have no problem flipping back and forth between crude redditor humor and actual emotionally mature conversations, it’s very refreshing to see someone who can do both!
Its not even that blitz think its just roleplay he doesn't believe that Stolas is genuine because of how this relationship started It was based around sex Blitz knows that Stolas only likes him for the sex even though thats not what stolas wants anymore but this was never properly communicated before
For blitz also this came out of fucking no where as an audience we know it’s been building cause we see Stolas point of view but for blitz he knows nothing and Stolas gave him zero time to process everything. Stolas totally could’ve been like if u need time to process or talk please do. Nope instant yeah u don’t like me got it moving on. Hang on a second my guy geez.
@@Aqua1515 Not only did it come out of nowhere but Stolas started it in the most aggressive way possible by saying he needed the book back permanently which obviously put Blitz on edge for the rest of the conversation.
there is more but yeah. Like the transactional fucking was stolas' idea that blitz learned to love over time. But on stolas' end, he thought blitz wanted that
I'm amazed Nux has pulled off reactions of this quality for so long despite being unable to see, which is I assume the only possible way he's missed that Blitz has been a raging Brony since episode 1
Worth to note. It could end up differently. If you pay attention in the opening song, you can see that Stolas is out of his antidepressant medication today in 5:35 . So it's extremely harsh day for him in general without his daily meds. Maybe with them he would be more patient and try to talk with Blitz after his "acting" instead of leaving with emotions just bursting out. Depression is terrible ;/
This is actually such a good point! I can understand their insecurities and lack of communication skills but it’s so worthy to note that Stolas was off of his meds. So with their already shit communication, he might have been feeling super low already and his mind might’ve immediately went to worst-case-scenario when Blitz went to “roleplay”. And Blitz felt caught off-guard that Stolas was being serious and went to his first mental line of defense: defensiveness. Super sad on both ends, though I think that the break up needed to happen! They’ll be able to explore their feelings more and hopefully come back together stronger than ever!
It started with a song but ended with dead silence - Notice that there is some references in the D.H.O.R.K.S. underground base like that they are cloning Catholic bishops making an army very much like the Clone Troopers from “Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones”, there is a silhouetted creature which looks like the Mothman, the portal machine to Hell is simalar to Stargate, & the tracking device looks like a Gameboy or a Pokédex
Blitzø communicating through sheer emotions and Stolas communicating through words is such a good take. Honestly I can't believe I couldn't see that, if that is how it's supposed to be (seems like it) then that's such good character writing.
To me a bad miscommunication plot makes you think "just have them talk for five (more) minutes and this will solve itself" and a good one makes you think "please shut them up before they make it even worse".
Pringles had to clean up vomit, 0:45 clean up splashed water from Stolas' tub 3:08, since it's not connected to a faucet he probably had to fill and unfill the tub as well. Then he just about had it with Stolas when Stolas threw all the food out of the refrigerator onto the floor. 5:43 Pringles does not look amused whatsoever.
i mean the episode ended on a pretty salvageable point. Blitz just realized that he fucked up and the name of the next episode implies a positive outcome.
Stolas messed up too. He wanted to give Blitz a choice but told Blitz it was over (before Blitz started yelling) before Blitz even realized there was a choice for him to make. Blitz yells you can't dismiss me,.... It's not over, ... let s go bitch. Blitz actually makes a choice to stay in the relationship but Stolas is too self pitying and only hears the anger not the words. He is still leaning on the power imbalance.
@@beckawilk Blitzo yelling about dismissing him was his insecurities about not needing to make their relationship a transactional one anymore. Not about Stolas telling him it was over, that was after Blitzo went through his little speech.
Blitz and stolas are such well written characters istg. The "blitz communicates through row emotions and stolas communicates through articulated dialogues" perfectly matches with their social status. Another exemple is when blitz didn't answer stolas messages, i think the fact that blitz is almost illiterate thus can't really express anything over text was very much overlooked. Stolas had proper education and blitz did not, so his text messages are short and full of grammar errors and is literally anable to express the complexity of his feelings. Truly a masterpiece.
Blitz being obsessed with horses has always been a thing, going all the way back to episode 1 of season 1 when he pulled a horse out of his jacket when looking for his phone and he made googoo eyes at it for a sec before going back to phone searching. There's background references to horses in almost every episode.
It was necessary for them to break up, now it’s time for them to figure out what’s wrong within themselves through other’s experiences and get feedback to change themselves for the better. Then we’ll get them back together just to talk in the same wavelength.
the reason that they’re so bad at communicating with each other is because you have someone who is very avoidant (Blizø) communicating with someone who is very anxious (Stolas). Stolas needs a lot of validation and is very insecure, and wants to express everything all at once and talk about it so he no longer has to be anxious about it. Blitzø needs a lot of space and time simply because he cannot process emotions due to the fact that he thinks he’s not deserving of them, and then also his immediate defense mechanism is either anger or running away. Their way of communicating and the way trauma has affected them are so different which makes it really hard to communicate without saying exactly what they feel, which is the last thing that Blitzø wants to do; but there also needs to be a level of understanding of the other person’s emotions and responses that Stolas doesn’t have because he’s so insecure about himself.
Nux..... how did it take you this long to notice that Blitzø has an obsession of horses. There was sooooooooo many hints. Also did you forget what he was watching last episode 😂😂
Blitz is literally incapable of believing someone could love him, and the fact stolas doesn't realize that is exactly why this relationship had to end- he truly doesn't understand blitz to that level because he has so many walls up. Blitz needs to improve as a person to let people in, and stolas needs to pay more attention to the people around him before he's made those mistakes he did with blitz
You are honestly one of the most fucking smart reaction channels out there. Like this is such good analysis. Heck, you brought up some stuff that I didn't think of. You actually think and engage with the ideas in the media you watch, and add something unique to the experience. You're pretty funny, too. One of the best reaction channels out there, thank you for actually giving a shit about the shows you watch. Enjoyed this video very, very much.
I think this was a pretty damn good episode. Ive seen a few people on twitter basically just say the episode is shit because it makes Stolas out to be in the right and that he treated Blitz badly because 'it was always about sex thats what the relationship was founded on'. Which it seems kinda obvious they're both in the wrong since, as Nux says, they're not communicating with each other properly. And yeah, the relationship was transactional, but Sotlas literally admits it isnt right. It was never right. Those words imply he's admitting fault on his end as he slowly grew to want something more beyond that thrill. I guess it just kinda upset me a little to see people hating on it when i really did enjoy this episode. But hey, everyones entitled to their opinion. Glad to see people here enjoyed it and so did Nux.^^
34:42 “Where are you gonna put that?!” I feel like everyone forgets that Stolas has a much larger demonic form that’s presumably much more durable than usual one. It seemed like the DORKS episode was the first time Blitzø has seen it but who’s to say he never saw it again? 😅
I love Fizz’s new outfit. I think his old outfit was something that he was required to wear by Mammon and in his Two Minute Notice song we see him tearing the outfit up piece by piece to separate himself from Mammon. Mammon even made the comment at the end “your practically in my image”
I really like your thoughts on the fight. I never really looked at Blitz's side before I was always looking at Stolas's side of the argument, but now my eyes are a little more open toward both.
@@jonmcknight18 It really is. It's mentioned so often. Edit, examples: - Full series, a lot of background details in Blitzø's house and office. - The semi-canon twitter accounts, 75% of Blitzø's posts are about horses. - Spring Broken, Verosika said that Blitzø maxed her credit card on horse riding lessons. - C.H.E.R.U.Bs, Blitzø spent their full paycheck for the murder on a toy horse called Mare-juana. - The Harvest Moon, Blitzø obsessed over Striker's horse, Bombproof. - Can't remember the episode, but there was a Stolitzø flashback episode where Blitzø where Blitzø was trying to make a balloon horse, and listed horse facts, and played horses at every chance. - Oops!, when Striker said "I'll break you like a horse," Blitzø said "Don't talk sexy to me," and Fizzarolli looked at Blitzø and said with "You're still on the horse shit?!" - And now in this episode, Blitzø has horse decor everywhere and has a horse tail plug.
@troytab6089 add on to that, episode 7 of this season, he was watching some horse soap opera. 🤣 Has names and character traits for his horse OCs on his whiteboard.
I watched a therapist reacts video of this episode and she brought up that for blitz and those around him for as long as hes ever known connect best when fighting. They fight, get out what they need to say, and then are better for it after. So subconsciously he's TRY to talk the only way he really knows how. As for stolas since his family is so diplomatic hes more used to saying things in ways that hook people, make them pay attention, is very articulate with little to know emotions, but also he personally is very upfront with what he says. He says what he means and means what he says. Both are TRYING to communicate the only way they know how, the way that works best for THEM. They havent learned that theres other ways to communicate. Blitz is getting better when it comes to ways he hurts others and makes them feel inadequate, but he hasnt learned how to deal with feeling inadequate himself.
48:00 - yup, Blitz has ESPECIALLY felt that way since the night at Ozzie's, he thought for a moment that Stolas was gonna defend him like Blitz defended Mox, but he recoiled in embarrassment instead and that let Blitz think that their relationship was nothing more than a monthly booty call.
33:59 I absolutely lost my shit when every time he unpaused, it just got worse and worse 😂 "wtf it's HUGE!... And it VIBRATES?!.... AND THERE'S TENTACLES?!!!!"
Yes but it's also kinda biased imo. I agree with his points about Blitz's pov but he doesn't try to look from Stolas' pov too. Stolas just ran out of meds, has been worrying about this talk for months, and when he finally confesses Blitz says the things he wants to hear the most in a mocking tone. And if you look at the portraits in the hallway as they walk, Stolas has blocked out every one except Octavia. A parallel to Blitz scratching himself out of his pictures. You can see where both sides are coming from, but SC sided 100% with Blitz
Did you not notice all of season 1 and 2 part 1 that Blitz is a horse freak who does all kind of stuff with them and has been interested from the beginning?
The fact that not only did blitz lash out and attack Stolas’ insecurities but you can tell from his body language that all he’s hearing as blitz screams at him is how Stella used to treat him just aughhhhh
While they're both at fault, Stolas is definitely the one that messed everything up to the point of ending things. The second Blitzo fully realized what was going on and wanted to have a real talk, Stolas had quite literally dismissed him like a service imp and told him to leave, not caring about anything else Blitzo had to say. Even RIGHT as Blitzo was trying to apologize to him, Stolas teleported him away. It makes sense Blitzo reacted the way he did for most of it, especially when you remember how Stolas treated him for most of the series up to this point, INCLUDING hiding his face behind the menu in shame instead of confirming his affection for Blitzo at the restaurant. It's hard to believe it's true love if he shows signs he's embarrassed of the relationship.
Exactly! And with Stolas reacting like that to being outed as ’sleeping with an imp’, how in the hell is Blitz supposed to have assumed a romantic relationship would go any better or even be an option at all?
Something really important to note that a lot of people miss on the first watch (Idk if someone already said or not, probably did): Stolas is off his anti depressants for this conversation as well. A quick scene plays where he's seen shaking the bottle for it to be empty and he's panicked. So he's more prone to his emotions and isn't willing to hear Blitz out.
More so than that, Stolas has a trend of ignoring the signs and dragging people around and straying away from the things that make him unhappy or uncomfortable. Good example is his relationship with Octavia where in an attempt to spend time with her he sidelines the clear attitude she's showing at how annoyed at this development she is forcing her along to the circus. It took a while before they properly talked but she still made it clear she wanted him around in her life despite all of this mess and loves him and he was happy with that outcome. Or even just ignoring signs of Blitz unhappiness for months till it was something he had to confront. I believe he does it as a habit developed in trying to deal with how he lived with his dad and Stella, ignore the bad stuff, pretend you are able to run from it. Because of this he is unconfrontational generally to the point he can't handle high intensity emotional rage induced convos like Blitz had at the end or even just the face the possibility that Blitz doesn't like him back which he kept telling himself he'll accept if it came to that but wasn't emotionally ready to deal with the heartbreak that acme from it.
The song emphasizes the way they each deal with their problems: Stolas obsesses over the situation, while Blitzø just ignores it and hopes it goes away. 3:47 - He had that duet with Moxxie back in "Truth Seekers" when they were tripping out on truth gas. 40:38 - Heh, that's a pun. "Coxcomb: (noun) 1. A conceited dandy; a fop. 2. A jester's cap; a cockscomb. 3. A strip of red cloth notched like the comb of a cock (rooster), which licensed jesters formerly wore in their caps." It works on multiple levels: Asmodeus's design is based on a rooster (a.k.a. a cock), Fizz is a jester, and the first syllable sounds like "cocks". So both of them were already handling the situation super badly, but the fact that Stolas was unmedicated and that Loona had put the idea that Stolas was bored with him into Blitzø's head certainly didn't help.
Stolas was literally like: "we need to talk, i don't think what we have right now is right for us it just feels like we're not going anywhere.... and THAT'S why we're going to disney world!" LIKE COULDNT YOU START WITH THAT!!??
This is actually the second time we see Blitzø singing. The first was a duet with Moxxie during their "bad trip" in the DHORKS interrogation room. That's also Agent 1 in the Loona Fur Suit. You can see him putting the head on as he's running up to meet the Cherubs.
Blitz now under Asmodeus' jurisdiction is a definite going to be an issue later...like either the Hell courts (other Sins) questioning their activities, actions before having the crystal, or Asmodeus needing to keep things on the books making IMP do other jobs...maybe even have to work WITH Verosika *who works for Asmodeus as well*.
The easiest fix would be Stolas saying “I don’t need your answer now.” It really shows his naivety that he thinks this grand gesture out of nowhere and requiring an immediate answer will work in his favor.
51:46 Stolas needs a conversation, Blitz needs a confirmation. Stolas knows he wants Blitz for the longest time but has never had the time to talk with Blitz to know what he's gone through to make him think the way he's been thinking up until now because it's always been through sex where they got to interact most of the time, and Blitz has been grasping at the that fleeting feeling that someone finally wants him for him but he's unsure if Stolas also feels the same way because past relationships had only ever gave bad scars. I could bet that he uses the sex as that bridge to feel that intimacy only in those brief moments and chalks it up to sex being enough to fill the space the void BUT again, he DOESN'T know or at least he's always in denial that stolas is that one person who looks his way and that's tragic.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but I think what hurts more is the fact that Blitzø was yelling at Stolas. Yes, that’s how Blitzø is expressing his emotions, but Stolas had been yelled constantly by his ex-wife. That was how those two communicate so often. The yelling probably brought out a defense mechanism he always did with Stella. And how Stolas said he had voices in his head saying he’s not enough, what Blitzø said probably solidified it more. This whole episode was so sad, and this thought made it worse 😭
I was so sad and angry for them when I saw this episode. I don't normally catch relationship drama in my entertainment but this was quite the story. Also, something that was pointed out to me by a comment on the episode video, the pill bottle that is empty that Stolas is messing with during the song, is possibly his depression medicine, so when we find him late in the episode with Blitz, he is already a very sad boy, compared to how he was early in the episode. Very nice touch, possibly foreshadowing for those that would catch it.
You need to hear this Nux. You're not awful and a waste of space. You're an agent of chaos with a hard-on for vigilante justice. You matter, and you bring joy to hundreds of thousands, if not millions. We care about you, man. Don't put yourself down.
_"THEY MADE A STARGATE!"_ Not gonna lie. I'm in my mid 30s so this was legitimately my first thought too. Somebody get MacGyver, we have to fight some alien Egyptians!
i’ve been waiting for your reaction cause you always unpack those traumas in this show best. i agree strongly with what you’ve said. fucked up situation indeed but they needed that regardless just to open their eyes.
Blitz they could never make me hate you. so many people are hating on him in this episode but this episode solidified him as my favorite character, he's such a traumatized mess
They're literally "parson A who has never been loved before" and "person B who deserves better" also known as and anxiety party suffering from the worst of both worlds. They needed this, hopefully now things can start to get better or I'll cry 🥺
I feel like you are one of the few that truly understands the flaws they both have when it comes to their relationship. Thank u for ur breakdowns man ❤️
The breakup was needed but I hope that they talk it out in the future and get back together because they both do care about each other they just have to try to communicate like adults

Ah yes of course
Both actually think he's a piece of shit, it's just one is more horny than the other
Quite possibly the most heartfelt words I’ve ever heard, brought a tear to my eye
"two people that do not know how to talk to each other, constantly talking over each other" is such a perfect way to describe it

@@blackbloom8552 our minds can be a prison even if we dont realize it
Yeah, this is an argument people living in apartment complexes hear every other week.
Could not have said it better myself.
The fact Stolas was out of antidepressants at the beginning too... he's running purely on his depressed, self deprecating motifs which didn't really mesh with Blitz's whole meltdown..
"I'll believe him and not the voice that says I'm not enough!"
And then Blitz says exactly what Stolas has been thinking.
GUHH I LOVE THEM BOTH GAW DAMN
I keep waiting for people to point this out! And not just the not enough part, blitz also confirms that he really does see Stolas as this monster who's just been abusing his power this whole time!
@@desimosi579 yes! and i dont blame blitz for seeing royals like this, but i DO think he really shouldnt have fucking screamed at him. the whole situation is a mix n match of faults

And of course Stolas only hears what he's the most scared to hear, that blitz, the only person he cares about what they think, also see's him as this heartless monster who only took advantage of a situation, just like he already sees himself.
I feel like even with antidepressants, Stolas' reaction was understandable. What do you want to do? Put him on a ball and chain, and say "no blitz, open your heart, I can fix you 😍"
You cant force anyone to be with you in the way you want, you have to let them go.
And Blitz' yelling + mocking would've triggered the PTSD from Stella's tormenting. Ofc, Stolas made mistakes too, I'm not picking sides
I love Nux's analysis of their argument. I've seen so many just take Stolas' side, but you completely understand both perspectives. If only these two could just sit down and talk.
I know right? If they could just communicate.
To much self hurt to talk thru.
I personally have been seeing a lot of people take Blitzo's side as well. It's honestly really frustrating seeing people pick sides, as that's not the point. The point is that they both messed up in the situation and need to change if things are to become healthy. It especially makes it worse when I see people arguing with each other because of the side they picked.
I mean what else do people want Stolas to do? He has been showing for months that he doesnt care about the sex and he has handled the conversation really well. I dont understand why people act like Blitz lashing out was justified when it wasnt. Its not that Stolas didnt "give him time to think." Blitz literally ruined that HIMSELF by making fun of him. I know he did that unintentionally bc of his fucked up trauma but regardless he did that. Do ppl want Stolas to accept this fucked up treatment bc Blitz doesnt know how to react in a healthy way? Why do people want Stolas to constantly be Blitz's punching bag and accept whatever bs Blitz throws at him bc of Blitz's trauma? They both made mistakes in this relationship but except for the beginning of teh convo that could have been worded better from Stolas, i dont see what else ppl want stolas to do? He was on the losing side no matter what he would have done bc Blitz needs to work on himself first. And no matter what Stolas does or would do it will result in the same reaction. I understand why Blitz acts the way he does. I understand why he thought it was out of blue. But his obliviousness, projection and self destruction doesnt give him a pass to act this way.
They don't want stolas to be abused, they understand the points of the fing story@@fluffy_magnus
Nux is the type of person to piece together the most complicated of storylines while simultaneously be unable to see all the context clues from previous episodes about Blitz being a brony
Blitzo has always had a huge horse love. Even as a child he made that balloon animal of a horse. Verosika claimed they broke up after he stole her car and maxed her credit cards on horse riding lessons.
Through out the series there are tons of references to Blitz’s fascination with horses
And don’t even mention Blitzø’s „research”
Since episode 1 Blitz has been a confirmed Brony. Lmao
In that same episode he pulls out a toy golden horse figurine while on the beach and the "our business" paper literally had $$$=🐴 doodled on it.
Every. Single. Episode. Every episode that has Blitz in it has something related to horses
i love that even in his rage the last thing blitz was about to say before being teleported out was "WAIT STOLAS IM S-",even when lashing out he wanted to apologize,even while lashing out he was like "im not letting you get rid of me",incredible writing showing how blitz is trying desperately to hide how much he cant live without this relationship
YES THIS
I SAID SMTH SIMILAR
WHEN HE SAW STOLAS' REACTIONS ALL THE CONFUSED-ANGER/UPSET JUDT DISSIPATED
Before Stolas...dismissed him (👀) from the manor, he had no intention to run or storm out. Which for me means that this was the 2nd crucial spot in the conversation where things could've taking a turn into positive progress/sincerity. First being when Blitz thinks its roleplay. Maybe the happy pill withdrawal is why that conversation didn't continue with a "🖐 I'm...not roleplaying."
And bc of Look My Way I thought/hoped before the episode that it'd be like "crystal. Feelings. Please think about it, and if you want that with me, I'll be here/waiting patiently."
Im rambling but I'm sorry, the way he started the conversation was the _worst_ 😅 and "a minute to think" is generally agreed on by reactors I've seen.
TL;DR I said something similar to you! But also, it's stuck in my head that there were two key/crucial moments in the conversation...dang, where I guess I wanted Stolas to do smth specific. (Also happy pill factor)
emotions are tough i also saw someone mention that Stolas said sorry but its a whisper on the breeze right after he teleports blitz i can almost hear it but cant tell
@@williamjacob2060 ohh
I thought that was like ambiance or spell whispers
I _did_ hear it though, and iirc it did sound kind of like sorry. It started with an s
Blitzø has always had a thing for horses even in the pilot there where horse doodles on the whiteboard in the background.
Yeah I don't know how Nux could miss that, it's mentioned several times throughout the seasons.
Also noticeable with striker's (did I spell it right) horse.
I think he was in charge of the horses at the circus and they were pivotal in the incident that i blitzø's truama
@@HellsingRuler not only Striker's horse, but like he literally pulls out his collectible toy horses all the time. You see it in S1E3 Spring Broken, he pulls out a toy golden horse for a second, and there's a horse doodled on the "OUR BUSINESS" paper, he pulls out a marijuana horse in the C.H.E.R.U.B ep "MY CLIENT PAID IN ADVANCE I SPENT IT ALL ON THIS!", and is playing with horses while watching his horse show before Ozzie calls him in the mid season musical special. Also when striker threatened blitz with the "I will break you like a fuckin horse" blitz goes "OOOH DONT YOU DARE THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME" and fizz says "YOURE STILL ON THE HORSE THING!?" meaning his horse obsession dated back to even before the explosive incident.
Not only blitz is a brony, he's also a clopper. In exes and ohhhs, he had the filing cabinet chock full of imps in equestrian costumes in various compromising positions.
50:29 Quick FYI, Fizz and Blitzø aren't brothers, they're just friends. But yes, it's very tragic how Blitzø can't see genuine Stolas is being because he feels so unworthy of love.
I mean tbf to blitz if i caused a fire that blew up my best friend, killed my mom, and made my entire remaining family hate me, id think im unworthy of love too.
Tbf they grew up together in the circus, and Blitzø's dad treated Fiz like his son. We don't actually know of Fiz had any parents, or if he was an orphan unofficially adopted by Blitzø's dad.
I mean, the man certainly felt he had the authority to sell Fiz without asking anyone else, and that's more than just his power as the Ring Leader.
So even if they're not technically siblings, they might as well be.
they're past friends, Blitz was gonna tell him he felt more than that, but then his dad was giving Fizz all the attention and that led to the fire that fucked everything up.
@@trixiebewitched also a friend he had a crush on
They aren't blood related, but they're basically brothers. Grew up together inside the circus and everything. And from the looks of the flashback we have, I also wouldn't be surprised of Fizz had been taken in by Blitz' dad as an orphan, since we know nothing of Fizz' parents
I’m happy we got Erica back to voice Loona
same bro!, i really hope shes feeling her old self again, i know what she went through is life changing.
SAME! I’ve missed her so much
@@WolfieSilveira
Ikr I thought they would write her out of the show or something
I feel like the show was teasing us about it in the first few minutes of the episode, so that when Loona finally spoke, I was way more hyped then I should’ve.
Nux trying to explain their communication issues to yet another Helluva fan who can’t separate fanon/headcanon from the actual show (and therefore can’t comprehend the idea that Stolas has FLAWS and isn’t a perfect innocent uwu bean) was actually painful
On the flip side, great job analyzing and explaining, Nux! I love your channel because you have no problem flipping back and forth between crude redditor humor and actual emotionally mature conversations, it’s very refreshing to see someone who can do both!
Woooowww boss, us egg bois have been waiting for this reaction!
so true, that's like the second thing that popped into my head after I've seen the new episode notification
Good to see Boss is back
I hit the 69 like Boss, isnt it amazing Boss?
Yeeeaah~! Boss, sure knows how to react. 🥚
Its not even that blitz think its just roleplay he doesn't believe that Stolas is genuine because of how this relationship started
It was based around sex
Blitz knows that Stolas only likes him for the sex even though thats not what stolas wants anymore but this was never properly communicated before
Also Blitzø is unable to believe that someone can actually love him for who he is.
@@graveslayer9666 that too
For blitz also this came out of fucking no where as an audience we know it’s been building cause we see Stolas point of view but for blitz he knows nothing and Stolas gave him zero time to process everything. Stolas totally could’ve been like if u need time to process or talk please do. Nope instant yeah u don’t like me got it moving on. Hang on a second my guy geez.
@@Aqua1515 Not only did it come out of nowhere but Stolas started it in the most aggressive way possible by saying he needed the book back permanently which obviously put Blitz on edge for the rest of the conversation.
@@Aqua1515 for real
Like slow down
He even expresses that he needs to process
for anyone confused about the "everything you put me through" remember looloo land, Harvest festival, and L.A.
thank you! it makes sense now!
Weren’t those jobs that he got though?
there is more but yeah. Like the transactional fucking was stolas' idea that blitz learned to love over time. But on stolas' end, he thought blitz wanted that
I'm amazed Nux has pulled off reactions of this quality for so long despite being unable to see, which is I assume the only possible way he's missed that Blitz has been a raging Brony since episode 1
Worth to note. It could end up differently. If you pay attention in the opening song, you can see that Stolas is out of his antidepressant medication today in 5:35 . So it's extremely harsh day for him in general without his daily meds. Maybe with them he would be more patient and try to talk with Blitz after his "acting" instead of leaving with emotions just bursting out. Depression is terrible ;/
This is actually such a good point! I can understand their insecurities and lack of communication skills but it’s so worthy to note that Stolas was off of his meds. So with their already shit communication, he might have been feeling super low already and his mind might’ve immediately went to worst-case-scenario when Blitz went to “roleplay”. And Blitz felt caught off-guard that Stolas was being serious and went to his first mental line of defense: defensiveness. Super sad on both ends, though I think that the break up needed to happen! They’ll be able to explore their feelings more and hopefully come back together stronger than ever!
All Blitz had to do was say yes, but all Stolas had to do was listen and understand. They just can’t stop getting in each other’s way.
It started with a song but ended with dead silence
- Notice that there is some references in the D.H.O.R.K.S. underground base like that they are cloning Catholic bishops making an army very much like the Clone Troopers from “Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones”, there is a silhouetted creature which looks like the Mothman, the portal machine to Hell is simalar to Stargate, & the tracking device looks like a Gameboy or a Pokédex
They really are dorks lmao I mean they did only have weapons from japans ino period
I knew it looked too much like a Pokedex
George Lucas didn't invent the concept of clone armies.
@@troytab6089 But what about the block formations and a top down view of them? Who else made clone armies in that formation?
Blitzø communicating through sheer emotions and Stolas communicating through words is such a good take. Honestly I can't believe I couldn't see that, if that is how it's supposed to be (seems like it) then that's such good character writing.
To me a bad miscommunication plot makes you think "just have them talk for five (more) minutes and this will solve itself" and a good one makes you think "please shut them up before they make it even worse".
The second one is not miscommunication.

You read the Stolas and Blitzo relationship soo well. I have seen so many other reactors read them ALL wrong or only seeing one point of view. Kudos.
Pringles had to clean up vomit, 0:45 clean up splashed water from Stolas' tub 3:08, since it's not connected to a faucet he probably had to fill and unfill the tub as well. Then he just about had it with Stolas when Stolas threw all the food out of the refrigerator onto the floor. 5:43
Pringles does not look amused whatsoever.

@@kinka9883 they're talking about the one in season 2
I love him so much (especially the fridge reaction - like pls tell him he doesnt have to pick that up) and I'm glad to finally know his name
Thank you
At this point. The breakup was needed because stolas want a relationship that loved him not one that was fake.
The problem is Blitz does love him but is afraid because he doesn't think anyone could love him also.
i mean the episode ended on a pretty salvageable point. Blitz just realized that he fucked up and the name of the next episode implies a positive outcome.
Stolas messed up too. He wanted to give Blitz a choice but told Blitz it was over (before Blitz started yelling) before Blitz even realized there was a choice for him to make. Blitz yells you can't dismiss me,.... It's not over, ... let s go bitch. Blitz actually makes a choice to stay in the relationship but Stolas is too self pitying and only hears the anger not the words. He is still leaning on the power imbalance.
@@beckawilk Stolas said it was over AFTER blitz mocked his feeling and humiliated him. Why would u omit that detail 🤨
@@beckawilk Blitzo yelling about dismissing him was his insecurities about not needing to make their relationship a transactional one anymore. Not about Stolas telling him it was over, that was after Blitzo went through his little speech.
Blitz and stolas are such well written characters istg. The "blitz communicates through row emotions and stolas communicates through articulated dialogues" perfectly matches with their social status. Another exemple is when blitz didn't answer stolas messages, i think the fact that blitz is almost illiterate thus can't really express anything over text was very much overlooked. Stolas had proper education and blitz did not, so his text messages are short and full of grammar errors and is literally anable to express the complexity of his feelings. Truly a masterpiece.
*raw
I love how Blitz was sooo kinky it jolted morals back to the cherrub
Its always so much fun to see Nux go 1000 EQ on his chat.
Blitz being obsessed with horses has always been a thing, going all the way back to episode 1 of season 1 when he pulled a horse out of his jacket when looking for his phone and he made googoo eyes at it for a sec before going back to phone searching.
There's background references to horses in almost every episode.
I took was wondering how he missed this
He’s a brony 😂
It was necessary for them to break up, now it’s time for them to figure out what’s wrong within themselves through other’s experiences and get feedback to change themselves for the better. Then we’ll get them back together just to talk in the same wavelength.
the reason that they’re so bad at communicating with each other is because you have someone who is very avoidant (Blizø) communicating with someone who is very anxious (Stolas). Stolas needs a lot of validation and is very insecure, and wants to express everything all at once and talk about it so he no longer has to be anxious about it. Blitzø needs a lot of space and time simply because he cannot process emotions due to the fact that he thinks he’s not deserving of them, and then also his immediate defense mechanism is either anger or running away. Their way of communicating and the way trauma has affected them are so different which makes it really hard to communicate without saying exactly what they feel, which is the last thing that Blitzø wants to do; but there also needs to be a level of understanding of the other person’s emotions and responses that Stolas doesn’t have because he’s so insecure about himself.
Nux..... how did it take you this long to notice that Blitzø has an obsession of horses.
There was sooooooooo many hints.
Also did you forget what he was watching last episode 😂😂
Fizz, 2 episodes ago: "You're STILL on the horse thing?!"
To be fair, the last episode was out 7 months ago
Blitz is literally incapable of believing someone could love him, and the fact stolas doesn't realize that is exactly why this relationship had to end- he truly doesn't understand blitz to that level because he has so many walls up.
Blitz needs to improve as a person to let people in, and stolas needs to pay more attention to the people around him before he's made those mistakes he did with blitz
You are honestly one of the most fucking smart reaction channels out there. Like this is such good analysis. Heck, you brought up some stuff that I didn't think of. You actually think and engage with the ideas in the media you watch, and add something unique to the experience. You're pretty funny, too. One of the best reaction channels out there, thank you for actually giving a shit about the shows you watch. Enjoyed this video very, very much.
Bro the "there are two wolves inside of me" bit. Fuckin' peak
I think this was a pretty damn good episode. Ive seen a few people on twitter basically just say the episode is shit because it makes Stolas out to be in the right and that he treated Blitz badly because 'it was always about sex thats what the relationship was founded on'. Which it seems kinda obvious they're both in the wrong since, as Nux says, they're not communicating with each other properly.
And yeah, the relationship was transactional, but Sotlas literally admits it isnt right. It was never right. Those words imply he's admitting fault on his end as he slowly grew to want something more beyond that thrill. I guess it just kinda upset me a little to see people hating on it when i really did enjoy this episode. But hey, everyones entitled to their opinion.
Glad to see people here enjoyed it and so did Nux.^^
Stolas is the ultimate Disney princess and Blitzø is the ultimate horse girl
34:42
“Where are you gonna put that?!”
I feel like everyone forgets that Stolas has a much larger demonic form that’s presumably much more durable than usual one. It seemed like the DORKS episode was the first time Blitzø has seen it but who’s to say he never saw it again? 😅
The fact the broke up under the very chandelier they played underneath as kids is so heartbreaking.
I love Fizz’s new outfit. I think his old outfit was something that he was required to wear by Mammon and in his Two Minute Notice song we see him tearing the outfit up piece by piece to separate himself from Mammon. Mammon even made the comment at the end “your practically in my image”
I love watching Nux realize just how obsessed Bliz is with horses.
I really like your thoughts on the fight. I never really looked at Blitz's side before I was always looking at Stolas's side of the argument, but now my eyes are a little more open toward both.
did you seriously forget about Blitzos love of horses!?
Right because it one of blitzø's mean character traits, he's self-destructive an over protective dad and he loves horses.
@@jonmcknight18 It really is. It's mentioned so often.
Edit, examples:
- Full series, a lot of background details in Blitzø's house and office.
- The semi-canon twitter accounts, 75% of Blitzø's posts are about horses.
- Spring Broken, Verosika said that Blitzø maxed her credit card on horse riding lessons.
- C.H.E.R.U.Bs, Blitzø spent their full paycheck for the murder on a toy horse called Mare-juana.
- The Harvest Moon, Blitzø obsessed over Striker's horse, Bombproof.
- Can't remember the episode, but there was a Stolitzø flashback episode where Blitzø where Blitzø was trying to make a balloon horse, and listed horse facts, and played horses at every chance.
- Oops!, when Striker said "I'll break you like a horse," Blitzø said "Don't talk sexy to me," and Fizzarolli looked at Blitzø and said with "You're still on the horse shit?!"
- And now in this episode, Blitzø has horse decor everywhere and has a horse tail plug.
@troytab6089 add on to that, episode 7 of this season, he was watching some horse soap opera. 🤣
Has names and character traits for his horse OCs on his whiteboard.
I watched a therapist reacts video of this episode and she brought up that for blitz and those around him for as long as hes ever known connect best when fighting. They fight, get out what they need to say, and then are better for it after. So subconsciously he's TRY to talk the only way he really knows how. As for stolas since his family is so diplomatic hes more used to saying things in ways that hook people, make them pay attention, is very articulate with little to know emotions, but also he personally is very upfront with what he says. He says what he means and means what he says. Both are TRYING to communicate the only way they know how, the way that works best for THEM. They havent learned that theres other ways to communicate. Blitz is getting better when it comes to ways he hurts others and makes them feel inadequate, but he hasnt learned how to deal with feeling inadequate himself.
48:00 - yup, Blitz has ESPECIALLY felt that way since the night at Ozzie's, he thought for a moment that Stolas was gonna defend him like Blitz defended Mox, but he recoiled in embarrassment instead and that let Blitz think that their relationship was nothing more than a monthly booty call.
I am impressed by your ability to analyze the stolitz argument. Very on point analyzation of both characters.
2:02 never feel like you are awful nux, becuase i think you rock nux my man!
Everyone is like: THIS IS HOW THEY END IT? AND WITHOUT MUSIC, SO WE JUST SOAK IN OUR SADNESS? Also brilliant analysis as always.
I love how Blitz's outfit has the hand buckles that slides the crystal in.
33:59 I absolutely lost my shit when every time he unpaused, it just got worse and worse 😂
"wtf it's HUGE!... And it VIBRATES?!.... AND THERE'S TENTACLES?!!!!"
I hope Nux checks out Sarcastic Chorus's video on this episode since it's actually a pretty eye-opening take on the whole Stolas and Blitzø argument.
Yes but it's also kinda biased imo. I agree with his points about Blitz's pov but he doesn't try to look from Stolas' pov too. Stolas just ran out of meds, has been worrying about this talk for months, and when he finally confesses Blitz says the things he wants to hear the most in a mocking tone. And if you look at the portraits in the hallway as they walk, Stolas has blocked out every one except Octavia. A parallel to Blitz scratching himself out of his pictures. You can see where both sides are coming from, but SC sided 100% with Blitz
As someone who has just started watching HB about a month ago, I took for granted not being left on a cliffhanger for a month.
its so surreal watching someone this far into the series only now learn how obsessed Blitzo is with horses
I love when nux makes a 23 minutes video 2.5x longer with his reactions and yapping
"What do you do with a whisk?!"
Clearly you whip it.
There is something so fucking funny about Nux JUST NOW noticing Blitzø is a brony
Blitz did sing in the episode where they were high while being interrogated by the DHORKS. Also...he has been into horses since he was a kid XD
Did you not notice all of season 1 and 2 part 1 that Blitz is a horse freak who does all kind of stuff with them and has been interested from the beginning?

@@garuelx8627 same, it's so catchy. I saw it when Jschlatt reacted to it on stream, you can find the clip on youtube ^_^
Bro needs to rewatch the whole show if he's only NOW noticing the horse stuff with Blitzø
While they're both at fault, Stolas is definitely the one that messed everything up to the point of ending things. The second Blitzo fully realized what was going on and wanted to have a real talk, Stolas had quite literally dismissed him like a service imp and told him to leave, not caring about anything else Blitzo had to say. Even RIGHT as Blitzo was trying to apologize to him, Stolas teleported him away.
It makes sense Blitzo reacted the way he did for most of it, especially when you remember how Stolas treated him for most of the series up to this point, INCLUDING hiding his face behind the menu in shame instead of confirming his affection for Blitzo at the restaurant. It's hard to believe it's true love if he shows signs he's embarrassed of the relationship.
Exactly! And with Stolas reacting like that to being outed as ’sleeping with an imp’, how in the hell is Blitz supposed to have assumed a romantic relationship would go any better or even be an option at all?
Thanks for your reaction, I needed someone else to experience this with.
Something really important to note that a lot of people miss on the first watch (Idk if someone already said or not, probably did): Stolas is off his anti depressants for this conversation as well. A quick scene plays where he's seen shaking the bottle for it to be empty and he's panicked. So he's more prone to his emotions and isn't willing to hear Blitz out.
More so than that, Stolas has a trend of ignoring the signs and dragging people around and straying away from the things that make him unhappy or uncomfortable. Good example is his relationship with Octavia where in an attempt to spend time with her he sidelines the clear attitude she's showing at how annoyed at this development she is forcing her along to the circus. It took a while before they properly talked but she still made it clear she wanted him around in her life despite all of this mess and loves him and he was happy with that outcome. Or even just ignoring signs of Blitz unhappiness for months till it was something he had to confront. I believe he does it as a habit developed in trying to deal with how he lived with his dad and Stella, ignore the bad stuff, pretend you are able to run from it. Because of this he is unconfrontational generally to the point he can't handle high intensity emotional rage induced convos like Blitz had at the end or even just the face the possibility that Blitz doesn't like him back which he kept telling himself he'll accept if it came to that but wasn't emotionally ready to deal with the heartbreak that acme from it.
4:07 "So, because he thinks he is unlovable-BRO, HORSES!"
The song emphasizes the way they each deal with their problems: Stolas obsesses over the situation, while Blitzø just ignores it and hopes it goes away.
3:47 - He had that duet with Moxxie back in "Truth Seekers" when they were tripping out on truth gas.
40:38 - Heh, that's a pun. "Coxcomb: (noun) 1. A conceited dandy; a fop. 2. A jester's cap; a cockscomb. 3. A strip of red cloth notched like the comb of a cock (rooster), which licensed jesters formerly wore in their caps." It works on multiple levels: Asmodeus's design is based on a rooster (a.k.a. a cock), Fizz is a jester, and the first syllable sounds like "cocks".
So both of them were already handling the situation super badly, but the fact that Stolas was unmedicated and that Loona had put the idea that Stolas was bored with him into Blitzø's head certainly didn't help.
Stolas was literally like:
"we need to talk, i don't think what we have right now is right for us
it just feels like we're not going anywhere....
and THAT'S why we're going to disney world!"
LIKE COULDNT YOU START WITH THAT!!??
This is actually the second time we see Blitzø singing. The first was a duet with Moxxie during their "bad trip" in the DHORKS interrogation room.
That's also Agent 1 in the Loona Fur Suit. You can see him putting the head on as he's running up to meet the Cherubs.
I love any video from Nux where you can skip to any random point and hear/see something totally out of pocket
Blitz now under Asmodeus' jurisdiction is a definite going to be an issue later...like either the Hell courts (other Sins) questioning their activities, actions before having the crystal, or Asmodeus needing to keep things on the books making IMP do other jobs...maybe even have to work WITH Verosika *who works for Asmodeus as well*.
I never cry thought series or movies
I ALMOST CRIED
i think part of the reason i like this show is because there are so many characters that are much more mentally ill than me
The easiest fix would be Stolas saying “I don’t need your answer now.” It really shows his naivety that he thinks this grand gesture out of nowhere and requiring an immediate answer will work in his favor.
Nux's reaction made this episode 100 times better for me
Blitzø has always been a horsegirl.
Also, that was almost certainly Sweetie Belle's tail as a plug.
51:46
Stolas needs a conversation, Blitz needs a confirmation.
Stolas knows he wants Blitz for the longest time but has never had the time to talk with Blitz to know what he's gone through to make him think the way he's been thinking up until now because it's always been through sex where they got to interact most of the time, and Blitz has been grasping at the that fleeting feeling that someone finally wants him for him but he's unsure if Stolas also feels the same way because past relationships had only ever gave bad scars. I could bet that he uses the sex as that bridge to feel that intimacy only in those brief moments and chalks it up to sex being enough to fill the space the void BUT again, he DOESN'T know or at least he's always in denial that stolas is that one person who looks his way and that's tragic.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but I think what hurts more is the fact that Blitzø was yelling at Stolas. Yes, that’s how Blitzø is expressing his emotions, but Stolas had been yelled constantly by his ex-wife.
That was how those two communicate so often. The yelling probably brought out a defense mechanism he always did with Stella. And how Stolas said he had voices in his head saying he’s not enough, what Blitzø said probably solidified it more.
This whole episode was so sad, and this thought made it worse 😭
"Wha-where are you gonna put that?!" *Wherever it fits*
I was so sad and angry for them when I saw this episode. I don't normally catch relationship drama in my entertainment but this was quite the story. Also, something that was pointed out to me by a comment on the episode video, the pill bottle that is empty that Stolas is messing with during the song, is possibly his depression medicine, so when we find him late in the episode with Blitz, he is already a very sad boy, compared to how he was early in the episode. Very nice touch, possibly foreshadowing for those that would catch it.
This hit the feels just as much the second time as it did the first.😭
You need to hear this Nux. You're not awful and a waste of space. You're an agent of chaos with a hard-on for vigilante justice. You matter, and you bring joy to hundreds of thousands, if not millions. We care about you, man. Don't put yourself down.
Off topic but

How did Nux only now noticed Blitzø's horse thing, there was so much even before that lol
I never thought that I would get relationship advice from this especially this channel what the
_"THEY MADE A STARGATE!"_
Not gonna lie. I'm in my mid 30s so this was legitimately my first thought too. Somebody get MacGyver, we have to fight some alien Egyptians!
The end scene is so sad yet so funny at the same time
i’ve been waiting for your reaction cause you always unpack those traumas in this show best. i agree strongly with what you’ve said. fucked up situation indeed but they needed that regardless just to open their eyes.
Nux is adorable “what do you do with a Wisk!”
“But you can’t even see it!” -referencing a blindfold
Blitz they could never make me hate you. so many people are hating on him in this episode but this episode solidified him as my favorite character, he's such a traumatized mess
They're literally "parson A who has never been loved before" and "person B who deserves better" also known as and anxiety party suffering from the worst of both worlds.
They needed this, hopefully now things can start to get better or I'll cry 🥺
Finally a reaction from someone with actual media literacy 😭
I feel like you are one of the few that truly understands the flaws they both have when it comes to their relationship. Thank u for ur breakdowns man ❤️
Ah nux is finally seeing the horses in the background whenever blitz is around
The breakup was needed but I hope that they talk it out in the future and get back together because they both do care about each other they just have to try to communicate like adults
The miscommunication is CRAZY! 😭
Ok but, house of asmodeus nux cover when? That sounded so good!
Your analysis on their different talking styles and how they can't communicate with each other is so good
