Hope you feel better soon
Mommy
Thanks for making a video despite feeling poorly!
I wanted to say thank you. i realize these are just adult oriented cartoons. but learning the characters underlying issues with and throw you has helped me realize and deal with my own. It makes a lot of seance why im a big fan of these 2 cartoons.
I actually discovered you through Nebula!
Whoever casted the kids the voice Blitzo and Fizz needs a raise! Its so refreshing when the kid voices sound so youthful instead of just using a female actress.
yes they did a great job
I think it's also telling that when Buckzo is guilting Blitzo, he mentions Blitzo helping him and his momma, but Blitzo's response is that he desperately wants to help his momma,. Just his momma.
Yup, he really loved Tilla. Ghostf*ers is gonna be a heart yanker
yeah i can imagine Cash being very emotionally neglectful and abusive while Tilla was a warm caring soul
Something I’ve noticed is people forget Blitz was SOLD to Stolas and that’s why he feels the way he does. Everyone gets angry about how he treats Stolas but no one remembers their whole relationship began as a transaction
This is trueeeee!!! 🥺
For the day.
And Blitz's current issues stem from fear of loss, fear of being cast off.
He thinks he's being used, and he's content with that just enough that he wants to stay in that relationship and test how far Stolas will chase him. It's why Full Moon's gonna be the tipping point when Stolas wants to give Blitz freedom in the relationship, but Blitz will take this as getting thrown out yet again, by a royal yet again.
Their current relationship is still a transaction, so no wonder he's resentful.
@@fyjkf No, that isn't on Stolas. The first time it happened, his father caused it, the second, Blitzo came onto Stolas first in order to get something and Stolas reacted accordingly
But I don't think Stolas KNOWS it began as a transaction. From his little point of view (as far as we know!) his father introduces Blitzo to him, they have a loverly day, then he (presumably) vanishes. We don't even know if he ever worked out he was robbed. Later on its absolutly more transactional, and that completely on Stolas, I agree, but I think one of the things that may really break him later on is if/when he learns that the foundation of that relationship was just another transaction.
We see the comparison/feeling of low self worth again in ‘Oops’ where Blitz’s dad literally hands Fizz a birthday card that says “Wish You Were My Son”.
And in "Apology Tour" or "GhostF*ers" we see Buckzo protective of Fizz, as if Blitz wasn't scarred MULTIPLE ways from that fire too.
We don't know which the flashback is gonna be yet.
@@samurexatlas7373 its not a flashback for some of them, its a hallucination, when blitzø gets possessed in ghostfers. the ghost brigs out the worst just to keep him in there
@@vinexisgay I mean, the hallucination part is it being projected.
@@samurexatlas7373 wym by that?
@@vinexisgay The green projection isn't real. It's a hallucination to snare Blitz further,
I like how no matter what he's intensely interested in pirates and horses.
Two things often linked with freedom.
Riding across the wide open land and sea.
Which is ironic because Brandon Rogers hates horses XD
I think my favorite part is when Blitzø accidentally makes a normal balloon somehow.
Out of a long one too
@@samurexatlas7373 He's very skilled like that!
What i really appreciate about Helluva boss is they explore some of the cascading effects of development. Blitzø was raised by an abusive father who looked at him as a money making machine, not really caring about his interest or emotions. He grows up to see relationship as transactional, desperate for connection but only on his terms.
Also, love the analysis here. We absolutley need to find better ways to raise children without invalidating their feelings or squashing their oppositional traits.
Well said.
I'd like to see an analysis on how that translates to Blitz's relationship with Loona. He adopted her, and is trying (maybe too hard) to be the "best friend" dad. It's still kind of transactional, as he throws it in her face a few times how he adopted her so she should do as he says. But he truly seems to love her and want the best for her.
I mean he was sold to stolas’s father and then stola’s controls him with the book
"It's a... transactional f***ing, you see." I never really thought much of that line from "Harvest Moon Festival", but thinking back on it, the way he says that is with a bit of panic. Like, maybe for a moment he almost considered what he and Stolas had might be real, but then quickly "corrected" himself on it to affirm (maybe even to himself) that it's just transactional.
2:10 Lemon fact: They're a man made hybrid of a Citron and a Bitter Orange, I've heard.
In other words, LIFE NEVER GAVE US LEMONS!
WE CREATED THEM ALL BY OURSELVES!!!!
This tracks
A perfect reuse of the Lute horns
Aww you noticed = ). yes. I was excited to use them again too
@@GeorgiaDow But were you meaning to signal what wide-stripe imp horns signal/ Or was it just an easy prop reuse?
@@GregPrice-ep2dkI think she’s cosplaying baby blitzo, including his horn pattern
@@GeorgiaDow Could we get a Valentino analysis please? 😊
@@GregPrice-ep2dkpsst this means that male imps have broad white stripes on their horns, females have pencil-thin ones, so if you see an imp that has stripes that break that pattern (like Millie’s sister) that they may be trans. Sallie Mae certainly is.
(Woops, I meant to be addressing Georgia, these thread replies can be awkward)
Blitzo needs to learn how to properly change his name. The fact that he changed “Blitzo” to “Blitz” shows how creative he is. 😅😂
Not even. He changed it to “Blitzø”. The “o” is just silent now.
Blitz means ambush or attack I think
I don't think it's so much about changing the name as it is about changing the connotations of the name. When they reunited Stolas said "didn't it have an o at the end, like a clown name", but when he introduced himself to Millie's parents as Blitz the mom commented "it reminds me of war".
Making small changes to your name can make a surprisingly big difference in how people perceive you. Ask anyone who changed their name from Paula to Paul.
@@Waffles_Prehistoria Lightning bolt. Blitzkrieg is Lightning War. Afterwards, Blitz by itself was used to mean “quickly and violently attacking a town/city, usually by dropping bombs.”
And funny enough Ø is a nordic letter and if you say pronouns Blitzø as its spelled, it just even more silly
'Life not going as planned' is more or less the tagline of Blitzø's life, and it's clear from his demeanor and the devil-may-care facade he relies on how _exhausting_ those endless setbacks have been. He's got resilience in _spades,_ no question, but it's not always coming from a good place -- a lot of his drive to excel and succeed in some form seems to stem from a sense of inferiority and self-loathing, as if he's still trying to prove that he's good enough for the people in his life... and because that sense of self-worth is so corrupted by his old traumas and scars, he struggles to trust people who tell him that he _is_ good enough for them. (He and Fizz feel like two different expressions of impostor syndrome, honestly.)
So nice how Blitzo contrasts as a father from Cash to Loona. I wonder how much is learned from his mother and how much he just wishes was in his childhood.
i'm certain he wanted love and validation and care but never got it so he gives all his love and validation and care to Loona even if it's too much
Though he's far from perfect with Loona, like he's trying to hard not to be like his dad that he's actually causing the opposite problems. Should be interesting to see how that develops with Loonas voice actor back.
the craziest detail I always remember from this episode was this small exchange
Cash says "Don't you want to help me and your momma?" and Blitzo responds "Of course I wanna help mom!"
he only ever mentions his mom, because he doesn't really feel that connection with his dad. And of course he wouldn't, his dad is using him for a money-making scheme! But it's such a subtle detail that I rarely see people bring up, and I love the attention there
I for sure noticed too
I think the joke of horse names is a callback to “potential horse names” Blitz wrote on the white board in the IMP office early in the series.
Why does he have a thing for horse-
Oh my god it's part of his desire for freedom.
@@samurexatlas7373oh my god I'll cry
I think it is a minor self-insert. Vivzie is a brony.
@@thebeardedbrony9586 Maybe her feelings from that are the insert.
I think Viv actually has several Hellasonas
@@thebeardedbrony9586brony is a term for male mlp fans, nice try tho
7:12 The saddest part here is, Fizz isn't EVEN Buckzo's son.
He has a daughter, Barbie Wire who we see in a later episode, and then his wife Tilla. Speaking of, Tilla was, from how Blitz acts and what we've seen surrounding her, Blitzo's loving parent. Which makes it all the more tragic when storyboards revealed that the day of Fizz's ultimate loss was also Blitzo's.
I always thought that this was normal because my dad and my neighbour's mom always pitted us against each other when we were kids. And now he wonders why I stopped talking to her (the neighbour) and why I went low contact.
It's not just the storyboards. In Season 2 Episode 6, 'Oops', when Blitzø's showing his own perspective of the events of the fire, we see his attention drawn to a burning tent as he's telling Fizz, "you have _no_ idea what *_I_* lost in that fire..."; while the flashback doesn't have audible dialogue, we see him say a single syllable: "...Mom...!"
@@Nitrinoxus Yup, the storyboards make that extra clear, he was supposed to say it. Come Halloween we're gonna get more Tilla and more heartache.
@samurexatlas7373 I'm bracing for heartache right out of the gate. For everyone who's rooting for Stolas and Blitzø, 'The Full Moon' is going to *_hurt._*
@@Nitrinoxus I'm not so sure. Remember, trailers often lie or oversimplify. Blitz is seen protecting Stolas, so I could wager there's gonna be something there.
"I'll give you something to cry about", and the warning that we may become avoidant of our very ability to know our own emotion(s)/forget memories hits hard.
Yup. Heard her say that phrase and instantly mentally became the "This is fine." meme dog.
Literally, I feel that
My dad used to use that "I'll give you something to cry about" line whenever I started to break down over anything. I never really understood how much that disrupted my emotional development until senior year of highschool ಥ‿ಥ
That seems to be very common sadly.
ALTERNATIVELY!
That boys don't cry.
That coupled with my world shattering really did numbers on me.
I realized how toxic it was to not be allowed to cry without a parent being violent when I was incapable of crying at my mom's funeral at 14 because I was taught sadness was an emotion I'm not allowed to feel, so it was instead replaced with emptiness.
@@sardonicus1739 I lost so many that I never cried for, it hurts. But, I've taken to a role of helping others get through things, sometimes all you need is a hug to cry into.
@@samurexatlas7373 Sadly, I'm trans and had to go through that "boys don't cry" thing before I figured out I wasn't boys. Some dads aren't very good at dadding
@samurexatlas7373 Maybe for some but I'm so emotionally repressed that hugs do absolutely nothing for me, and I only hug people for their sake, and flinch when someone goes in for a hug since I'm not use to the touch of others. I don't really understand them very much since I was never given them til adulthood.
I think it really shows Blitzo's closeness with his mother, when his dad says "don't ya want to help me and your momma out?" His response is "of course I wanna help momma!" He didn't at all mention wanting to help his dad out.
I've noticed throughout the show, that despite all of Blitz's flaws and how he treats people, there is one character that he NEVER treats badly, Loona.
It seems to me that he wants to be the father to Loona that he never had. He's like Stolas in that way. And I think that's so sweet
Sadly, I do relate to Blitzø.
Jaded, humor as a defense and offense tactic, quick to insult, really good with talking to people and good with a firearm.
Honestly I've said it before with my friends, but a clown trying to make balloon animals and somehow messing it up is actually a pretty solid clown routine.
Yes! Dear God Blitzo needs therapy!
Blitzo's therapist will need therapists
He actually said that he has a therapist. I think it was during episode 1 or two.
He needs a better therapist, then.
@@gamewatch6861episode 1.
luna: you’re so gross
Blitzo: oh stop it, I hear enough of that from my therapist
I think.
And, apparently, so does his therapist.
I can't unsee how kid Stolas sits, as a bird owner he sits as one light expect a bird to sit
Clever how you repainted Lute's horns for this cosplay, I love it. something tells me you're going to get a lot of milage out of them coming up. It's a shame how Blitzø always felt he had to prove himself, how he was always considered less than his best friend. Even his own dad preferred Fizz. I love how much this episode reveals about why he's the way he is as an adult.
Not to mention he seems to have had another royal lover that tossed him out, so he keeps getting used, and eventually ruining relationships, like Verosika, by running away before he can get hurt. With Stolas, Blitz DOES love him, he's just afraid that without the Grimoire, he'll be thrown out yet again. This is going to come to a head in Full Moon, but in the end Blitz seems to save Stolas from Andrialphas, or worse. So maybe he'll start healing, and with "Apology Tour" following that seems to be a likely direction.
So cool you realized they are lutes horns and yes I will. I have gotten some more also hehe. And it is sad but I hope we see Bliz seeing his true value in the future
@@GeorgiaDow you'll need a second pair for the female imps since theirs have a different color pattern, I wouldn't suggest getting much into shapes tho or you'll end up having a collection you can hang on the walls just like crimson has xD
already bought some ill paint and get ready later
The tangential breakdown of sheltered kids here struck a chord.
I've never felt more like an owl-demon whose magic book was stolen when they entered adulthood more.
Well played.
I relate to blitz a bit because my dad told me a lot as a kid that if I cry,he will give me something to cry about,and he tells me that I’m too emotional so I don’t feel real emotions near him
Fizz or Moxxie next? Ooh. Or maybe do Blitzo and Stolas as a adults from a few episodes.
Adult blitzo and stolas has to come. 👍
You were worried that this is an "older" show, but the rest of season 2 is being released starting this month!
You should do Moxxie next
He makes an interesting foil for Blitzø
I especially relate to him since we’re both anxious
He’s just a little guy who needs validation and love. 🥺
This is so wholesome and as a result it makes what happened to Blitz's mother all the more tragic
Oh, you're not done with the Tilla Trauma. Halloween, get ready for a possessor to make Blitz remember her.
"Blitzo has a lot of defiance in him" that's one of my favorite things about his character. Specifically, he isn't afraid to stand up to the more powerful people in hell. He's not afraid to challenge Bee to the drinking contest, he's not afraid to tell Mammon straight to his face what a hack he is, if he was face to face with Alastor, he wouldn't be scared at all. This probably often to his detriment but I really enjoy that about his character
I love that the same voice actor is doing both Paimon and Cash. that is so meta wonderful
Yes. Disney's aladdin's "jaffar"!
I know you're gonna have a field day with going over Blitzo and Blitz as the series progresses with these breakdowns
I hope she does a whole episode JUST on "truth seekers".
Silent letters are still supposed to be part of the word or name they're used for.
The fact that Blitzo says, "Of course, I wanna help mamma" and doesn't mention his father.
We need Stolas part 2. Particularly of him dealing with his abusive wife and enduring her for the sake of his dsughter thst he loves dearly.
I get the impression that Blitzo telling Stolas that he'll hire him later on might be foreshadowing for later. Like Stolas abandoning his role in the Goeisha and choosing to be with Blitzo instead. Working and BEING together in the end. Both getting the love and fulfillment from each other as opposed to when they were apart. Would be a lovely ending to their story in my opinion ❤
It's all too easy to paint Blitz as the villain...and that's exactly what part of him wants you think he is. Because he _hates_ himself *that* much. It's why all his pictures and photos of friends and family have him scratched out...he KNOWS he's the problem...but he hates himself too much to fix himself. And when you see what happened in his life...is it any wonder why? He needs to work on himself before ever getting into a proper relationship. Until he does they'll all end up in smoke.
2:07 I think making combustable lemons to throw back is better, but lemonade is cool too
As Nicole Watterson used to say, "When life gives you lemons,squeeze them back into life's eyes. "
“When live gives you lemons, call ‘em yellow oranges and sell them for double the prize”
-Gruncle Stan
"LIFE NEVER GAVE US LEMONS! WE CREATED THEM ALL BY OURSELVES!"
*G L O R I O U S HIPTHRUSTING!*
- Emperor of Mankind, Warhammer
Blitz would be the kind of guy who'd make combustible lemons and using them to burn Life's house down.
Blitzø also has a hard time taking a Kompliment, that he did'nt fish for.
In the Harvestmoon Episode Strike say's that not many Imps start a Buisness on their own, so that is admirable. And that catshes Blitzø off guard.
I appreciate Georgia's resilience for making us this vid even tho she's sick
aww thanks = )
My favourite thing about these is how you focus on aspects of these characters that most people aren't focusing on! Blitzø has a dumpster truck full of baggage, and his relationship with his dad very obviously left him with a messed up idea of class and relationships and money, but even though his resilience is on display from early on yet that's never the part of Blitzø that people are talking about. So good, like always!
How Blitzo deals with trauma? That's the fun part, he doesn't! Boy, so much of HB is Blitzo running away from his trauma. Fizz, Stolas, his employees....ho boy.
That little scene of Fizz and Blitzo playing together with their balloon horsies is hands-down my favorite part of the episode. Not just because it’s absolutely adorable, but because it really shows us clear as day that - puberty, trauma, and increased swear vocabulary aside - Blitzo truly has not changed 😆
I love him, tho, he and Fizz are my favorite characters. Also this whole video I kept listening to what you were saying and thinking to myself “yeah, that explains a lot” lol
Btw I think the horse name thing is less a play on horses usually having odd names and more a manifestation of Blitzo being a very strange individual haha 😁
Thanks for giving Blitz the credit he deserves. Considering what he went thru it's amazing he's still standing and trying on any level. Some people just can't engage their empathy unless a trauma survivor is performing survival correctly for their tastes
Unfortunately, I do have a tough shield because of my childhood. I don't expect anything to be great or for things to go well. I prepare myself for the worst because of what I've been through.
Take this from a fellow brony. /) It would be interesting to get her take on the g4 ponies, though!
@@thebeardedbrony9586wtf is your problem?
I have zero idea what you're talking about.
Yeah, I’m still holding up that shield with honor and preparing for everyone to leave me
I LOVE YOUR COSTUME
Oh good I was worried about this one
@@GeorgiaDowyou did great!
There are a couple things that I noticed about Blitz, and the relationship between him and Stolas (and Striker, later on): Blitz is more or less functionally illiterate. Stolas really, *really* doesn't grasp this, and texts him huge flowery multisyllabic epistles without even realizing how difficult these would be to Blitz to decipher (he responds as best he can, "Get Bevver Swoon"), unconsciously confirming Striker's accusation that the Goetia "always talk over us." The second thing (which still blows my mind) is that there are literally ZERO consequences for the children's...theft spree, I guess? The Goetia parents are genuinely so wealthy as to be completely oblivious!!
Third thing: "He can get hurt?" regularly shatters my heart.
“If you keep talking about pirates, I *will* punch you.”
I gotta say, I just *love* that little interaction they have because it’s just kids being kids and it’s so adorable to see (the voice actors really help)
It also provides a sharp contrast to how they turn out, they’re no longer best friends or as innocent as they were before, showing how people can change and be quite different from how they were as a child, and how you can never truly know how a kid might turn out as an adult (same for Stolas, especially the cut from him as a happy child to a sad adult)
Edit: Also I never picked up on how Blitz is able to adapt and improvise like that, with how he messed up with the horse but was able to quickly come up with a story as to why it’s like that, to him using playing pirate as a means to get away with stealing (very clever of him!)
BLITZ MY LOVEEE
as a circus artist, i think blitzø learned how to adapt so well by simply being a clown. in circus there's so much that can go wrong, a trick that doesn't work, a joke that doesn't land with the audience, forgetting what you're supposed to do next... and you always have to work around it and sometimes you learn to even incorporate it into your show. so blitzø learned how to adapt by committing mistakes as a clown.
Yesss!!! ❤️ I love your content!!! Big Hazbin Hotel fan since the pilot. Helluva never really hooked me, but you're making me want to watch it now! ✨
its also really cute it grows on you
Despite technically being set in the same universe as Hazbin, Helluva has a very different vibe, and takes longer before it starts getting into the heavy stuff, but if you can make it past the first half-dozen episodes or so, the emotional pieces hidden behind the crass humor really start to fall into place.
@@SteveMND Yeah, it's probably always going to be a little more crass and more violent than Hazbin. At least I hope so since I actually like the action scenes and the foul language. I feel like the emotional bits are a little bit more earned when they're balanced out with the grit, and it fits the cast better since the closest thing Helluva has to a Charlie character is Millie, and she's a happy little murder champion with berserker tendencies.
@@SteveMNDI prefer it over Hazbin honestly
@@GeorgiaDow I will give it another shot! This video was fantastic, thanks for your content! ❤️
I don't comment often but I hope you keep doing helluva boss stuff.
I can't wait to see how you relate these instalments to the studies of their adult selves.
Blitz, to me, has what I call "THIRD WHEEL SYNDROME". We're he needs to be PART of something, but a DISPOSABLE part of it. were he can be included, bit then can detach himself without causing too many problems for the other party..
He does this because of his self-destructive nature, caused by his extremely low self estimated and sense of worth.
I have to confess something... many times I don't usually finish watching the videos because the analysis hits very close to home and my way of coping with things is to avoid it.
But great video! Thank you very much for doing analysis of helluva Boss
I appreciate you keep trying and I hope it is a bit healing or helpful the parts you do watch
I love how you use media to be able to reach out to people to teach these things.
The Stolitz duet from next episode (coming this month) was shown at the LVL UP EXPO. It shows Blitz and Stolas preparing for the full moon. There are many recordings of it available on UA-cam. You should check it out :]
While we still don't have full confirmation, I like to think Blitzo's family name is Cash, maybe some imps use the Eastern name order like Hungarians, Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese in the living world do.
Thus Blitzo's family would consist of the following:
*Cash Blitzo
*Cash Loona (adopted daughter)
*Cash Buckzo (father, estranged)
*Cash Tilla (mother, deceased)
*Cash Barbie (sister, estranged)
It would explain why the clueless receptionist at the hospital in Sloth thought Blitzo's surname was "O", referring to him as "Mr O".
The receptionist also straight up admitted that she was either mostly illiterate or has very severe dyslexia: "Oh, I can't spell."
Cash is actually Blitzo's dad's personal name, and Vivziepop confirmed that Blitzo's surname USED to be Buckzo, but hinted that he may have dropped it around the same time he dropped the pronunciation of the "o" in his personal name (couldn't blame him if he did, having an alliterative name like "Blitzo Buckzo" would have already been bad enough as a non-circus business owner, but pile his issue with this dad on TOP of that....).
I love how much detail they put into the show! Like Stolas running slowly because he's not athletic. Lol
i saw this and saw "one minute ago"
1 hour ago
I felt such a kinship with Blitzø right away, and this episode showed me why. I was raised by a parent very similar to Cash, and also had a lot of fire in me from an early age. The kind of trauma responses Blitzø lives with as an adult, i connect with, and i just love how the show depicts so clearly how our childhoods can shape us later in life, for better or worse.
As an equestrian I got 'Wackly Oliver Henry' 'Sandborough Super Trooper' 'Trainrigs Cristina' and finally 'Flax Boogie nights'
Your continued cosplay on these always makes me smile.
Cute cosplay and perfect analysis
Thank you as always Damian. = )
@@GeorgiaDow Don’t mention it keep these videos and cosplays coming.
I don't know why, but I started crying as soon as I saw the title card for this video😭
Blitz a real one for sure
Georgia...you sound like my Mom does right now! The phrase about lemons is credited to Elbert Hubbard in 1915...back when many people still wandered about on foot. I imagine a hungry person happening upon a lemon tree instead of say, an apple tree...would have a measure of disappointment. Not much baking over a campfire either, so instead of pies one buys or begs some sugar, adds water to the squeezed lemons and the situation improves.
ha thank you for that information and smart mom = )
@@GeorgiaDow Hazards of being a writer...odd things stick in the brain. And yes! Smart Mom. But ALSO...you could both do vocal impressions of each other right now. = )
17:40 'hypervigilance'. And it's not 'necessarily' a good thing.
Blitzo shows hypervigilance a LOT in the series, enough to make my cortisol levels go up. Aside from the times when he's absolutely blackout drunk he's always watching everything.
This hit home really hard. I think I've been dismissing my kid and he has pushed his friends away and me. He also has physical complaints a lot. I had no idea they might be emotionally related. He's 17 so I don't know if it's too late, but we'll watch this together tonight.
"Don't you wanna be able to help me and your momma out?"
"Of course I want to help momma."
Momma, not momma and pappa. Says a lot about Blitzo's relationship priorities and feelings for them.
You're the reason why I'm good at making my friends feel better
21:58 i’m so glad you brought this up, it’s always been one of my favorite details 😆😆💛
I hope you do Luna. There has to definetly be some deep dives on growing up in an institution. Always getting adopted and sent back. Then being adopted when you are pretty much an adult
THANK YOU so much for doing this video about Blitz, Georgia! He's my favorite character ever and I relate to him deeply. I even cried while watching your video because you're so accurate.
19:14 kind of foreshadowing what the relationship between Blitzo and Stolas will become
Something I haven't seen a lot of people catch is when Cash says "don't you want to help me and your mommy out?" Blitz responds "of course I want to help momma." He doesn't care about helping his dad, and based on his expression and tone of voice, it doesn't seem like him excluding his dad in that statement was even on purpose. Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but I see that as his subconscious letting it slip that he loves his mom but really doesn't give a crap about helping his dad. And for good reason!
Watch the first episode of season two and then watch the pilot and you’ll see that he’s been working on horse names for like I don’t know for years 30 years to be exact
Stolas was sort of raised in a manner that was used for noble children around the time of the Tudors. In that the child is raised in a private residence by a collection of servents and tutors, but had very few interactions with there parents or children their own age until they were old enough to join their parents in court. This of course was done for their safety as children from nobel households could be used for ransom or even killed off for money.
When Blitzo was hired by Paimon, I did get a 'Whipping boy' vibe. The concept of the whipping boy is that it was a male child bought from an impoverished family. This boy is then raised in a noble household as a a sort of friend to the nobel born children. The only difference it that if the noble born child did something that was classified as acting out, then the whipping boy was punished in the noble childs sted.
I love seeing these deep dives and the perspective of a therapist to see the characters better. I would love to see a therapist's perspective on Fizz as well
I feel like I have mix of Blitz, Stolas, and Fizz's issues. Mostly the first two cause their childhoods, Blitz's self hatred, Stolas's difficulty with socializing and apologizing a lot, etc. But I felt, idk, seen(?) When I saw Fizz's panic attacks and how he tried to fight through them while not feeling good enough for those around him.
Ahhh!! I always love watching your therapising hazbin hotel videos so it makes me even happier seeing that you've started Helluva boss!! I always love how you try to make costumes to fit the main character of the episode, and thank you for doing what you do!! ^^
I absolutely love the dialogue between kid Fizz and Kid Blitz. 'If you keep talking about pirates I will punch you.' Sounds like what my friends might be thinking. Yeah, I know I fixate on pirates sometimes, sue me ! My parents switched between golden child and black sheep so it was confusing. I became resilient though and I am still healing through my inner critic. I know I have a lot of work to do, but eventually I think I'll find someone who loves me for who I am versus than what I can provide for them.
Love this, it was really smart to start with young Blitz and Stolas for this, it's short and self contained but still relevant to them and lots to talk about.
Oh man, you’re punching me in the heart! 😭💖
I loved this analysis, and the fact you chose to start from their childhood. They're so adorable, which hurts considering what will happen to them in the future 😢
Cute costume as well!
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤
ok, once season two is finished, I think adult Blitz would be a very good case of relationship issues and self doubt.
THE BLITZO VIDEOOO!!! Thank you so much for covering my favorite character~
I'm on Nebula but I come here to watch your videos just because I enjoy giving your videos likes and commenting how much I love your channel.
so thoughtful of you !!
“Don’t you want to be able to help me and your mama out?”
“Of course I wanna help mama!”
Notice how Blitz said he wants to help mama, not “you and mama”, showing that he does love his mother but not so much his father (and given what his dad’s shown to be like we can’t really blame him)
But it’s a nice little detail to show that
YES I LOVE BLITZ! PLEASE MAKE MORE HELLUVA ANALYSIS MAYBE IN THE CURRENT TIME NOT CHILDHOOD?
I love your videos so much. They’re so insightful and they’ve helped me have my own breakthroughs in such a gentle way
means so much to me = )
11:43 actually in that regard. Now I know that you have covered Critical Role, in the past. In one of the Q&A sessions that they had. Travis Willingham/Grog said just that...When he at first with no experience or knogledge of D&D started the game with these strangers. He said: It was like playing with action ficures as a kid. Only now they can really die & I love it...
I'd never heard before that resilience is correlated with successful outcomes. I've been told I'm resilient by psych after psych and always just saw it as being able to survive and stay miserable for the rest of my god-given years. This really changes things! Thanks for offering your expertise in this appealing format 😊
I relate to Blitz’s trauma a lot. You talked about the super achievers and it described me to a T.
Maybe my favorite episode of yours yet! It has helped me appreciate the most positive aspects of Blitz’s character. Thank you for doing justice to and illuminating the awesomeness of the Hellaverse characters!!
the fact that you made this video before the "full moon episode" is so magical to me. You have no idea
I'm so happy you keep making Helluva boss videos!! 💗
Been waiting for this review for days. Thanks for all your hard work and get to feeling better.
