except in the first episode we did learn Blitz is ALREADY seeing a therapist and his therapist clearly sucks ass (as would be expected from y'know...a therapist in hell?) he needs specifically a GOOD therapist somehow XD
I imagine how hard it must have been for Verosika considering she’s a succubus. She finally finds someone to “do the deed” out of love instead of work, only for that person to leave her. That’s rough
And in some depictions if a Succubus falls in love they lose the ability to feel gratification, from anyone other then that individual. And back in he first ep. She was only going for the assist and not try to score herself.. unless it benefited her in other ways.
I love that they're just burning a png of an actual Blitzø plush. Hilarious. Also, I love how much depth Verosika has compared to her first appearance.
"I don't think you meant to hurt me, cause i don't think it meant a thing at all" HITS SO HARD!!! Stolas is quickly becoming the most relatable character in the show.
@@reyzedendrus Just because he said that one thing, doesn’t mean he deserves anything. Don’t you see how hard he’s trying to apologize ? This is season 2 now. Plus Blitzø has been nothing but shit to him as well. They both need to work out their shit.
28:41 if were assuming that in their first interaction in s1 ep3 they’re talking about their break up, Blitz didnt just dump Verosika after she confessed her love to him, he also left her at the hotel they were staying at , stole her car and credit card, and ran off to Wrath to take horse ring lessons. Like, damn dude
Like he did the worst thing he could think of while spiraling to keep Verosika away from him 😭 "You shove away anyone who gets too close until they resent you for being such a shitty shitbag"
20:42 To be fair Stolas should take some accountability. He's the one who made the "exchange deal" with Blitzø, dubbed him his "impish little plaything", and just last episode, gave Blitzø no time to process the love confession bomb he dropped on him out of nowhere before pushing him away, among other things from this and last season. They both have faults they need to answer for, and I hope Vivziepop doesn't retcon it so only Blitzø has to take accountability.
@@SS-ui7by [(in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency] dont see a problem
Very late to this, but I also think the way Stolas acts towards any other imp is problematic and could be part of Blitzo's lack or realizing the relationship. E.g. I don't think he knows either Milly or Moxxie's names and just calls them "you littler ones" or just points at them, the way he ignores his imp servants, the way that he still seems to expect the formality of "your highness, with all due respect" from Moxxie, or at least doesn't say that he doesn't need said formality. I just think that those could all be things Blitz sees and, incorrectly but understandably, assumes "I'm only special cause I'm his plaything"
At the end, Verosika realized that Blitzø belongs at the “I Hate Blitzø” party more than anyone. Also, that twist Martha and Mrs. Mayberry ship is wild and I love it.
"Relationships are boring." "Oh yes, extremely boring. So what are you doing here then?" OH YEAH AND STOLAS DOWNS HIM IN THE FINAL ROUND WITH THE SIGNATURE BURN HAYMAKER!!
did u know whats sad.........ppl do it actually in real life too......i had the same experience like verosika (but worser bc he was my childhood friend as well)
I can't bring myself to not feel bad for Blitz in this situation. Yeah, he fucked up and treated Stolas and everyone else like trash, but the one this dude hates the most his himself. And to be on a party where all people celebrate to hate him? This must hurt, especially to see Stolas there, the person he really wants. I'm sure seeing all the people he hurt is going to be a turning point for Blitz, to change himself, be a better person and make amends.
Absolutely agreed. I like am all for they both fucked up bandwagon but the beginning of this episode really made me loose sympathy real fast. I was watching with a friend and literally got so pissy
I think seeing how may people got hurt because of him was even harder for him that seeing how many people hate him. He already knows everyone hates him and hide behind stupid excuses to not openly recognise that he’s the one in the wrong. He says things like “they’re just bitter they couldn’t tie this ass down” so he can avoid acknowledging the responsibility he had in what happened with these people. So having it all put in his face during that party was necessary for him to finally realise and take the first step towards change.
Did you…watch the episode? Versika explains it clearly even in the letter. This isnt a celebration of people who were heartbroken by Blitz, it’s a means of having closure from the hurt and pain he cause as a partner and that he took advantage of so many people at their lowest and most vulnerable because of his self hatred and this is their way of connecting with others who went through the same thing and building a support network from it while also having some fun.
During their talk, Verosika breaks the railings for her to sit while Blitzo sits down without breaking it due to his small size. This means that while they are talking Verosika is the one that is free while Blitzo is still trapped by his self-loathing and other issues.
I noticed a LOT of gestures that held a lot of symbolism as well in this episode, the writers, storyboarders and animators absolutely kill those kinds of things.
I appreciate all the extra details this episode, specifically the costumes other demons were wearing at the party. You already noticed Beetlejuice but there's also Kill Bill, Freddy Krueger, and a couple dressed as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Probably others I missed as well. Makes the Halloween party feel more legit to me. Great episode!
The fact that Tex and Verosika were gaslighting Stolas that it’s _all_ on Blitz when he’s realizing it’s his fault as well, even though there’s guilt on both side is just so toxic, and _AHH_
And yet, Weeby and so many others can't see where Stolas is in the wrong. That's my biggest fear for this series, that Viv is going to retcon how Stolas messed up, such as in the previous episode, and make Blitzø the only one who owns up.
@@DanGamingFan2406 God, I hope not. He was on the track of realizing “maybe part of this is my doing?”. It definitely appears that they’re leaning away from Stolas offering Blitz an apology. God, I hope it doesn’t end with the “Nah. All Blitz.”
@DanGamingFan2846 come on Dan. You're usually so good at picking up on things yet you missed all the times Weeby pointed out that Blitzø was wronged too and you didn't read the description in the episode? You're slacking!!
Stolas: when have I ever looked down on you?! meanwhile Stolas: *S1 EP1(the phone call), S1 EP2 (making multiple sexual advances towards Blitz despite him not wanting it), S1 EP5 (everytime they interacted with each other), S1 EP6(kinda messed up that u saved his life and expected some sexual gratification as a reward) Also Stolas says how he's tried to make ppl see how much he liked Blitz when in S1 EP7 he hid his face multiple times out of embarrassment of being grouped with him. U cannot have a true Stolitz ship when only one side is being crucified for screwing up.
Also one more thing it's so sad to see how Blitz' and Stolas' relationship changed. That Stolas even says "Im uncomfortable with how you are speaking to me" shows how Stolas feels currently
@@adolfocoy7516 No one is saying Blitzø should've been cool about it. The difference is Blitzø never expressed being uncomfortable about the situation, and was even enthousiastic about it, until after the date at Ozzie's, after which point Stolas not only stopped doing it, but has also shown regrets about doing it in the first place. You can't expect Stolas to respect Blitzø's discomfort if he actually seems to be enjoying the dirty talk, and even initiates it. Meanwhile Stolas has communicated about him not enjoying it anymore, and that should be respected.
@@bouboulrozhe did react very badly to Stolas nicknames very often even calling him a dick in Harvest Moon episode for calling him Blitzy. They both messed up badly and need to make amends imo. 😢 plus Stolas needs some real life relationship experience because he is living in fantasy world too much still. I hope now that they are broken up he gets to date others to grow in his own way too.
@@bouboulroz I think you should re-watch the first few episodes of season 1 cause there are a lot of moments where Blitzo expresses that he's uncomfortable. Like in the Loo Loo land episode where Blitzo constantly tells Stolas to stop flirting with him. Or in the striker episode, where he tells Stolas to stop calling him Blitzi
This is what annoys me in this episode: Blitz is completely valid for thinking Stolas looks down on Imps in general and him in particular and a large part of the community doesn't seem to recognize that. When did Stolas communicate that he respects Blitz outside of the few words during Full Moon? Stolas constantly uses a nickname Blitz finds demeaning, calls him his "Impish little plaything" during Truthseekers, never even bothers to learn Millie and Moxxie's names and behaves disrespectfully to Imps in a whole slew of other instances. We, the audience, know that Stolas means it to be playful banter when talking to Blitz but he definitely has inherent classism and never bothers to indicate that his banter comes from a position of respect, and as such that doesn't get through to Blitz.
Exactly! Even during this episode, why does Stolas refers to Striker as ‘that vile Striker friend of yours’. To me, it felt like the expression used had classist and racist undertones. Maybe I’m overthinking it though.
@@xXSamir44Xx Yeah, I’m probably overthinking it tbh. Him calling Striker Blitz’ ‘friend’ gave me bad vibes (it’s weird as they clearly aren’t on good terms). It felt like he was referring to the fact that both of them are imps (although Striker is mixed).
@@lia_anh Stolas doesn't know that Blitz and Striker are on bad terms. The last Stolas saw from Striker before being kidnapped was Blitz inviting him to IMP. Stolas didn't know about the assassination attempt and subsequent fight
@@TheDJdragonflame But after Striker tried to assassinate Stolas for the second time and IMP kicked his ass, it would be weird for them to still be on good terms. I know Stolas doesn’t know about everything, and again he probably referred to them as friends due to what he saw at the Harvest Moon Festival. It’s just that on the moment that expression gave me bad vibes. But the more I think about it, I’m probably wrong 😑
How much ya wanna bet it’s one of those classic cases where it started out with a heated argument/fight over Mayberry’s husband then simmered down to a drunken night together then finished off with them having angry $€x and waking up the next morning saying “eh why not”
@@DarkKnightofAnime I can see it having gone two ways really, either something like you said with them arguing about it all, most of all about Mayberry's husband and her having made him cheat and all that jazz. Or, Martha actually sought her out because, well.... Like, the girl not only came home and went berserk when she found her husband cheating, trying and failing to kill her. But she even literally had demons come from hell to finish her off for her. A sort of earnest and total absolute dedication that someone like Martha, that's always been cheating just had never experienced at all.
So I had this thought- what if Blitz really didn't know angelic weapons can kill Goetia? It was Moxxie, who we know is a weapons expert, and Stryker who had asserted that in Harvest Moon, before Blitz had any idea of the situation. And in Western Energy Blitz had to be told that blessed rope can "limit Stolas' ability." And think about that word, "limit." He didn't say blessed weapons can kill him, he said the blessed rope "limits" his ability. To what extent Blitz wouldn't know. idk just something that popped into my head since the whole thing about him not knowing he could be hurt has been brought up in a literal sense like 3 times now.
It seemed that he knew he can be killed. The harvest moon festival episode, blitz says “…about to off my easy and lengthy ticket to earth” then we have that striker monologue about killing other royals and fight the system.
@@TheFangirlOtaku I think Viv and the team just wanted to make it more emotional and show how blitz sees stolas as a god. It always bother me about those contradictions. But in the end, I think that scene didn’t align with the team’s plan for s2
@@Salza02 I 100% agree with the double meaning, I figured it was more about how he doesn't realize he can hurt Stolas emotionally but was being gradually faced with the fact that his self destructive behavior does hurt other people, including the person he puts on that indestructible pedestal. Maybe they got lost in the sauce of their own metaphor? idk it's a small oversight for me in a show where the characters are so well-written and portrayed otherwise. 🤷♀️
I’m not convinced Blitzø is entirely projecting Stolas looking down on him. For example the “impish little plaything” line or how Stolas completely hid his face under Ozzie’s scrutiny. Stolas has done a lot to lead to this situation.
25:00 This moment.... actually makes me very concerned. Yes, there is some obvious chemistry between the two, but ultimately, Stolas just doesn't want to be alone. A part of me worries that Stolas has latched on to Blitzo in an unhealthy way and actually needs to take time away from him and.... "explore" other people, or at least explore how he feels about seeing other people.
I really hope we get an episode of Stolas doing his own share of character development, because he keeps ignoring Blitzo's own problems and inputs every time he give him it, and I think it's going be good for him to make friends and get with someone else, because the way he talks about Blitzo sometimes is like he only likes him because he is the only one who ever gave him affection, so the relationship will be healthier if he gets the affection of a lot of other people and realize that he doesn't want to be "someone's someone", he wants to be Blitzo's someone, then his love for him will feel more genuine and not just result of lack of options. I kinda want a cheesy scene of Blitzo talking badly about himself and Stolas stops him and starts to list everything he loves about him, would be so sweet (I also have deep self-hatred, if someone did that to me I would cry myself to sleep, in a good way). Also, Stolas dismissing Blitzo and saying he doesn't want to see him ever since Blitzo thought the confession was a roleplay really just perpetuates Blitzo's idea that he always ruins everything and make people's lifes worse just for being there. Yes, Blitzo needs a lot of growth, but so does Stolas, they don't understand each other at all (Blitzo is starting to in this episode tho). Btw, these are not all the problems their relationship have, I'm just listing some of them, it's so complicated I would need to write many pages about it.
Hey, completely new viewer here, I have been absolutely BINGING your reactions to Helluva Boss, Hazbin and a trip down memory lane with FNAF. I'm really enjoying your attitude and bubbly personality. In the end, I just wanted to tell you that you're awesome and I'm enjoying the content lots!
I'm gonna be honest, I love seeing Stolas be sassy cause it's funny, but I find it hard to be on his side when he is still being a massive hypocrite. He talks about how uncomfortable Blitz is making him, when Stolas ignored Blitz's boundaries and comfort through all of season one. He asks 'when have I ever' in reference to looking down on him, when throughout all of season one he referred to Blitz as "my little imp" and other demeaning things like that, often disregarding Blitz's actual feelings and requests. So while it's great to see him be sassy and the role reversal is hilarious, I don't want the show to JUST be Blitz fixing things. Stolas has a lot of things he needs to fix too. The lyrics of his song where he wonders if he was in the wrong give me hope.
This! This isn't all on Blitz and, while I love watching people react to the show because I always learn something else or hear insights I missed, I have yet to find someone who can see that both blitz and stolas are at least partially in the wrong.
Atleast in Stolas' song in the episode there were parts in it that looked like he understood that he made mistakes along the way. Hopefully Stolas can see his role in this and learn from it as well
My personal theory is Stolas is going to realize his mistake through exploring relationships with other hell borne. Pretty much all his interactions with those in a lower class than him has been Blitz. I don’t think Stolas truly realize how offensive he came off or how bad the class divide is until he actually socialize and mingle with those outside his bubble. So dating others is going the open his eyes. Alternatively , the shit likely coming Ozzie way with Fizz could also be a huge reveal for Stolas in realize how shitty the attitude towards imps is since Mammon already said that Ozzie was going to regret revealing his relationship. Either way, Stolas side in this isn’t going to be brushed away as it’s already been brought up in multiple episodes with Blitz.
20:40 But... he really fucked up too... I mean, Blitz IS a Motherfucker, how song suggests, but Stolas failed to adress, acknowledge, communicate a whole bunch of issues himself as well. There is rarely only "Good" and "Bad" side of conversation. Like its easier to blame only person that isnt you. And its ok. You need to protect yourself in hard time. But after some time its essental to see your fails... I really hope, Stolas would apologize to Blitz as well.
Yes, they are both partially responsible for the bad things that happened between them, and Stolas knows that he messed up too at some point. He realised that the transactional relationship they had was unhealthy and feels guilty for putting Blitz through that. That’s why he gave Blitz the crystal. There are some other things he may need to apologise for too. But during the events of Full Moon and the morning of Apology Tour, Blitz was really shitty to him by insulting him, screaming at him and pushing his boundaries. I think if Blitz hadn’t resorted to anger at that moment, and they actually had a conversation, Stolas may have apologised for the things he did wrong. But now that Blitz has hurt him so much, I dont think he’s in the right place to do it. At least not now. Now, he needs some space, and maybe when blitz come back at him to have a real conversation and apologise for the things that happened, then Stolas will be able to apologise too.
@@aaazzz8324But Blitz already had an inferiority complex. With the bargain Stolas established between them, it ONLY worsens things up because their relationship started as some sort of power dynamic. The thing is, Stolas EXPECTS that his actions wont have consequences by breaking the deal and saying sorry. But thats not how things go. Actions have consequences and Stolas cant expect Blitz to fall on his arms after he gives him the asmodeus crystal. He didnt give time for Blitz to properly think and he didnt try to understand how Blitz would doubt him considering not only was their relationship at that point purely transactional, but Blitz also had a very bad past.
@JoaoPedro-eq3hj I don't think he expected Blitz to fall in his arm after he gave him the crystal and explained his feelings. He knew that Blitz not returning his feelings was a possibility (he even says in the Full Moon duet "if he's only here as a prisoner, what kind of monster does that makes me). What he didn't expect and what hurt him was the way Blitz resorted to anger and insulted him during Full Moon and it only got worse when Blitz continued and pushed Stolas' boundaries during the morning of Apology Tour. I'm not sure Stolas realised that the way he used to talk to Blitz may have worsened his feeling of inferiority. He sees Blitz as an equal so much that he can't see things from Blitz's perspective and understanding why Blitz would feel inferior because he's an imp. Because in his eyes, he doesn't see Imps as below him. And it makes him blind to his own behaviour, which he probably inherited from his father, who taught him that Goetia was above imps. I think that he will be able to realise if Blitz opens up about it and tells him how that felt for him. I'm sure when he realises that he will apologise. Bit before Blitz tells him about that, he has to Apologise to Stolas too.
@@aaazzz8324 they couldnt be having a real conversation because Stolas immediatly ran away and got pissy because he didnt get the immediate answer hew wanted. Blitz only got mad after he had to chase Stolas through the entire house while getting pretty much gaslit into thinking he was in the wrong for not realizing sooner with the "obvious" signs that he just didnt really give. Both are at fault for not having said needed Conversation.
I love how the theme from "Look My Way" starts playing when Blitz says "And there it is, took ya long enough!", and starts to build while Stolas is explaining how he doesn't look down on Blitz. Then, when Blitz starts yelling it cuts out completely, just before it was about to peak.
People are constantly missing a few crucial details in this whole Blitz and Stolas thing, I think even the writers here forgot them for this episode, because it's very strongly framed that Blitz is the only one who needs to apologize, but in reality... majority of the way Blitz handled things, within context, are 100% justified. First, what reason did Blitz have for believing that his thing with Stolas was anything other than what he thought it was? It's not like Stolas communicated any of that before the last episode, and when they were called out at Ozzie's club, rather than Stolas showing Blitz he had no shame over their relationship, he instead showed he was VERY MUCH ashamed. In this previous episode, he just dumped all his baggage on Blitz without warning and expected Blitz to have everything figured out within the course of what was effectively less than a minute. 90% of the time in season 1 when Blitz and Stolas speak to each other, Stolas IS talking down to Blitz. "Oooh Blitzy-Witzy~" "This book is for Hell ROYALTY, not ITTY BITTY WIDDLE IMPS LIKE YOU". All the other imps in Stolas's life are servants. What reason does Blitz have to think he's really any different, especially when pretty much EVERY time things get sexual between Stolas and Blitz it's STOLAS coming on to Blitz? It's literally Stolas calling on Blitz to fulfil their "agreement", and serve him. Yeah Blitz needs to learn to accept when people genuinely care about him, BUT STOLAS NEVER GAVE BLITZ ANY REASON TO THINK HE REALLY DID BEFORE. What Blitz said to Fizz while they were in the cage, he GENUINELY believed, and continued to believe all the way up until the end of S2 E8. What happened last episode shattered Blitz's world view. He SHOULD be mad because there was no lead up to this. Yeah he's lashing out childishly in the beginning of this episode, but I fully see where that anger is coming from. The things people miss about Blitz and Stolas's relationship are that the Hell Hierarchy is very REAL and Stolas has been very bad at showing and communicating to Blitz that he doesn't SEE Blitz as lesser than him, and in fact has been acting in ways that reinforce that entire narrative in Blitz's mind. And before anyone talks about the way Stolas acts in Season 2, notice how Blitz and Stolas are apart for a vast majority of the season, all the way up until episode 8, with the ONLY real exception being episode 2. It's even stated last episode that it was a few months before they'd seen each other. Great of Stolas to give himself all that time to plan their meeting only just to ambush Blitz all of a sudden with a bunch of stuff he could have never been prepared for on his own.
someone else said this already in the comments, but i just want to point out that while blitz has a LOT of obvious faults, let's not let stolas off the hook either. it doesn't erase the way blitz has treated him, but stolas saying "i've never looked down on you- when have i ever?" -- we need to recognize that "little imp" "impish little plaything" and flirting with him in public when blitz clearly was uncomfortable etc. did have an impact on blitz also stolas said "when you couldn't bother to come help me" (referring to striker) - blitz was tending to his DAUGHTER. i think we shouldn't forget that either; it wasn't easy to drop that appointment. he waited 5 years for a shot that is required YEARLY. the system is so against the favor of imps and hellhounds, of course blitz couldn't imagine a goetian prince actually caring about him
Something I noticed about Stolas is with his robe, earlier in the series he would wear it looser and more open at the bottom whereas in this episode it was lighter and more closed off at the bottom, as if he knew Blitz would be trying to get in his pants if he showed up and that Stolas felt that he needed that protection from Blitz with ngl is really sad
"I don't look down on you. How many times do I- When have I EVER-?" ... "..this idea you have of me, that I'm this prince who thinks he's so much better than you. Well, I don't." ~"Who dares threaten my IMPISH LITTLE PLAYTHING?", "Sound fair, my little imp?", "I'll pay you... money", "You are so cute when you are serious", "Um, I think I'm supposed be body guarded right now. Ugh, that's better. Where is Blitzie. He's my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones", "...and [my grimoire] isn't supposed to be leant out to itty bitty imps like yourself", "Greetings, tiny Wrath Ring imps. I hereby welcome you all to another year of celebrating the spoils of your labor that continue to feed the citizens of Hell!", "How the fuck did you get caught by humans? Are you little creatures not being careful up here. You know if YOU get in trouble, I get in trouble. WE don't want that", "Leave [Blitz] to me, I will handle him accordingly. Follow me, Imp", "What are you doing? I barely remember your name". +Multiple instances of baby talk and pinching his cheek and objectifying him - putting out a cigarette on his horn. And pay attention to how Stolas treats imp service staff.
Despite me being amongst those who aren’t the biggest fan of the fact that this show is a rom-com now, I actually like what I assume they’re going for. Shipping has always been the part of shows I’m least interested in, but I can still appreciate the good parts. They didn’t force them back together, but they didn’t shut the door on the whole thing either. I prefer when the character grows into a relationship over growing BECAUSE of a relationship. A wise man once said, “The best you can do is strive to be someone worthy of loving." Sometimes the best way to have a better relationship is to become better without one.
Stolas doesn't looks down on Blitz. He was raised by a classis dad with no other influences so he makes really stupid comments. Not excusing him though. He needs to address and fix that part of himself and desperately needs to apologize to Blitz for it but Stolas can't get why Blitz thinks he looks down on him because he doesn't actually look down on Blitz.
@snakesareamazing me either. That is something that needs to be addressed but unfortunately it won't until Stolas looks at himself and realizes he makes really shifty comments due to his upbringing and it doesn't excuse anything because as an adult it is Stolas's job to do better.
@@savannahvillarreal6500I think Stolas will realise how much he messed up too... At least, there was a phrases from Octavia like "You never loved me, mum, you loved HIM", and I hope there will be a tour for Stolas personally
@@savannahvillarreal6500 It's more then just ackward comments. He literally disrespects Blitz all the time. For example, Blitz directly asks Stolas' to call him Blitz, not 'Blitzy' or anything else, MULTIPLE times. That's not respect for him, it's dismissive and disrespectful.
While this episode was massively bittersweet we finally get the Breakthrough we've been yearning and burning for. Blitz is made to realize that not only has he actually hurt Stolas a lot with his actions but a bunch of other people thanks to Verosika ripping away the bullshit Blitz uses to shield himself from the consequences of his fucked up actions to people. Because Blitz can no longer hide behind, 'We're in Hell, we're supposed to be shitty and why am I the bad guy just because I'm bad at relationships!?" while acting like he deserves sympathy. When like. Verosika told Blitz she loved him and Blitz's reaction to that was to steal her car and credit cards, wreck the car and max out the credit cards on horse riding lessons and then act like she's the unreasonable one and that is unambiguously kinda fucked. Even the two 'Non-Apologies' he gives to the two Ex's kinda hint that he does this with other people. Sleeping with an Ex's mother just wrecks that persons relationship with their parent and presumably wrecking someone's Sister's wedding....Something that a family will never let someone live down. ("Why did you invite that asshole boyfriend who wrecked your Sisters wedding?!" is the kind of thing families will remember for decades. >.>) is all the kind of stuff that leaves a lot of anger and bitterness...It's not a huge surprise. And we see Blitz just sort of realize that as he's listening to Verosika and an Ex he probably remembers break into sobs and it all hits home and we actually see him give an actual apology to someone who wasn't Stolas (Who Blitz claims is probably the one person he owed an apology to.) It's definitely growth. That and taking Verosika's advice and leaving Stolas alone so he could have a good time and enjoy himself after the shit Blitz put him through and the awful shit he'd been dealing with in regards to the divorce, assassination attempt, hospital stay and trouble with his daughter...The guy just needed a night where he didn't feel like garbage and just have a fun night at a party with people he seemed to actually enjoy being around. (Probably the first such party he's been to in....Decades maybe....) You get the sense that the fire has burned everything down but that fire needed to burn everything to ash so both Stolas and Blitz can move forward and try again from scratch. That's my take anyway.
Amazing take, i couldn’t say it better ! That was an amazing episode and we’re finally getting to see Blitz take responsibility for his actions. Many people seem to think this is the end of their relationship or are scared that they’re not going to return together after that, but this episode, in my opinion, ended on a very hopeful note, because it ended with Blitz taking the first step towards change.
@@G.D.G.I think stolas realizes many of his faults in the relationship Too I mean he sings about the power imbalance and how toxic the relationship was many times. He needs to gain some confidence in himself and in his relationships before he is truly ready to have a conversation about these issues with blitz. They are both scared of confrontation but have two different reactions to it blitz is so ready to be the problem when things like this happen while stolas is more likely to run and become a people pleaser to avoid conflict.
Blitzø isn't the only one who needs to admit his mistakes, Stolas is a Hypocrite as well, and Blitzø actually has the very right to lash out at him, both need to figure out themselves before committing to a serious relationship
Unfortunately, Blitz's been getting all the crap and blame for their relationship as he is the first to lash out. :/ I am so anxious for an episode in which Stolas owns his part too. ):
@@luhanxavier The worst part is everything Blitz does is totally in character, so I can't even harp on some big writing flaw for this episode specifically. He's a self-saboteur and he's clearly trying to burn the bridge with Stolas really hard, which inversely correlates with how much he cares.
If I had to guess, the theater of memories will open the next episode and be revealed as a nightmare Blitz is having that Moxie and Millie wake him up from to tell him about the ghost problem at the hotel, and that's where Blitz and Millie will have a very personal argument and fight, resulting in Blitz completely breaking down. I'm basing all of this on one trailer BTW and what Millie says about destroying those around him and leaving them worse them before he found them. Guess we'll find out in October
My theory is that it’s part of the haunting he’s battling at the hotel with Millie. I’m imagining the writing drawing a parallel of being haunted by ghosts, and being haunted by the past. Like it looks like at some point he’s possessed, so maybe his consciousness is trapped in that memory theatre in the meantime. But yup, we’ll see in October!
for context, blitz is treating it entirely like sex because STOLAS started it as a sexual transaction, its not like either of them are in the right, because neither of them are. They both have their problems and struggle to actually recognize and grow from them.
I'm really worried that what Stolas said while drunk will only make things worse, no fault to him, Blitz shouldn't have confronted have continued the conversation when he realized how drunk Stolas was. But Blitz asked what Stolas liked about Blitz and he ranted about a generic lover who desired him. I can really see Blitz taking that to heart and thinking that Stolas would have latched on the any guy that broke him out of his depressed life with Stella. We the audience know different, but.... ya
While I do think Blitz needs to apologize and out of him and Stolas, he is the one more in the wrong, I see a lot of people that forget that BOTH of them are in the wrong and just rag on Blitz for his part. We as the audience, get the luxury to see Stolas's perspective of his feelings develop, while Blitz does not, until Full Moon, where by that point, Stolas has had months to come to terms with his feelings and create scenarios in his head where he wants Blitz to act in a certain way, that when he does confess his feelings to Blitz, for him, it comes out of nowhere, and instead of Stolas giving him time to process his feelings, he gets less than a minute before Stolas cuts him off for not immediatly acting the way he wanted him to and dismisses him. Also, a lot of people forget Stolas's actions in the earlier episodes, where he's the one to propose the sexual transactional relationship, constantly makes sexual advances that make Blitz uncomfotable, and where he calls Blitz somewhat demeaning things like "my little imp" and "my impish little plaything", and with *all* of his butlers and servants being imps, who are a lower class to Stolas, the same species as Blitz, it does make sense why Blitz would get the idea in his head that Stolas thinks of Blitz as "lesser" or "one of his butler imps". Again, i'm not saying this as an attempt to paint Stolas as being more in the wrong, I love him and as we've seen his perspective, I know that he is trying his best the best he knows how, but I think they both are the reason for their relationship falling apart as it is and they both need to heal and apologize and I don't see a lot of people who recognize that before solely blaming one or the other, especially Blitz.
Watching this over and over makes me see the pattern that Blitz does. Anyone who Self Sabotages during a relationship usually try to cut ties in a way by using the love that was there and bastardizing it by making all of it sound worst of then it is as an attack towards the one they love. Blitz did have a lot of sexual stuff that happen with Stolas, so he keeps harping on that over and over to make Stolas feel very bad about themself so they hate Blitz and Blitz has a reason to justify his attitude when in the opposite, he enjoyed some of those moment. Verosika said he was a fun loving guy till he broke it off the moment she said she loved him. Giving him his heart shaped cake of himself. Stolas wants a certain romance to happen but also forgets that heartbreak is a part of that, arguing is a part of that too but he is right in how he feels since all that was afforded to him was responsibilities to his position. Both have never been able to find love that sticks yet Blitz makes it so much harder on himself. I mean how many people can say you get with so many people that they make a hate party dedicated to how much they cared and became totally ruined by his actions. Heck even in the beginning with Stolas when they grew older and Blitz genuinely was there to steal the book instead of being there for a friend. Deep down, this is one person he will definitely have to face up to after so much has happened. I think Blitz can but will have to face himself in a heavy way to do that. I wish they didn't make us wait for sooooo long bruhhh lol. It hurts
I can’t think of very much that would be more painful for someone like Blitz than being forced to both confront how many peoples he has hurt and to watch Stolas be happy with someone else (even if just temporarily). But without being forced to go through something like that he was never going to grow
One thing that I discovered from seeing storyboards that didn't make it in is one of the guests is Travis. Yeah, TRAVIS. Valentino's director and script writer. Then again he did have that cameo in Spring Broken in line trying to hire IMP for whatever reason. Who knows, maybe he and Blitzø hooked up?
To be fair to Blitzø... Stolas kinda made the whole relationship about sex. While Stolas doesn't realize it he also talked down to Blitzø frequently, calling him Blitzy when he said not to, referring to him as a little imp. The transactional aspect too doesn't help. I don't blame Blitzø fully for not comprehending that a prince of hell could actually love him, he doesn't love himself and the last episode was the first time Stolas was clear about his feelings and to Blitzø he was woefully unprepared.
I do think that Stolas was out of line for criticizing Blitz for not coming himself to save him from Stryker in Western Energy. Blitz TOLD him he couldn't because he had something important with Loona. Which even at the time Stolas totally brushed off ("Oh yes, well that IS important, BUT I think..."). Plus it's not like he did nothing, he send M&M who clearly did a good job saving him and beating Stryker. Stolas is really coming off as the partner who's upset that their boyfriend prioritized their kid over them. Stolas needs to understand that he will always be #2 in Blitz's life AFTER Loona. As it should be. Blitz has an obligation to Loona as her dad to always put her first. And Stolas, of all people, should know that, since he's a father too.
What? It was literally life threatening for Stolas. He would've died if Stella hadn't called off the hit. That's a bit different than Loona missing a shot. Heck they wouldn't even have needed to wait several years, Stolas could've just arranged it as a thank you for saving him. This isn't just prioritizing your kid over your partner, it's complete disregard for their safety.
@@tomfou Stolas made it seem like he wasn't in danger and Blitz didn't think it was possible for Stolas to be hurt, Blitz got serious at the end and decided to send the two people he trusts the most to save Stolas since while Blitz could have gone himself he hadn't even fathomed that Stolas was at risk of death
@@izukumidoriya8600 I understand why Blitz acted the way he did, but that isn't the point here. OP claimed Stolas was out of line for criticizing Blitz and was just upset about him prioritizing Loona.
@@tomfou He was out of line. Even at the time I thought he was wrong. Blitz told Stolas he had something important with his daughter but Stolas wanted him to drop that and come play hero for him. This was before Stolas even realized he could be in actual danger. And now he's pissy Blitz didn't come HIMSELF, like that would have made any difference. He just wanted his romance novel scene. This is not the first time Stolas has done that either. He did the same thing with his OWN daughter at Looloo Land, and she called him out on it. "You just spend all your time flirting with some weird, red, dickhead". As fucked up as Blitz is, Stolas lets his craving for grand romance override his responsibilities. It's rather selfish and immature.
You can't really put it all on Blitz though. Go back and reawatch the entire first season where Stolas was only ever after sex and even talked down to blitz here and there. It wasn't until the tail end of season 1 he actually started pursuing an emotional aspect and not very clearly. I mean his family literally bought blitz off his father and then Stolas turned him into a sex toy just so Blitz could do his job. Cut forward to now and even here it is lopsided. Blitz tells Stolas how he only wanted to apologize to him and Stolas responds with he "doesnt want to feel alone" and wants to be somebody's sombody. So in a way Blitz can see himself as still being used just for a different purpose.
8:24 anther thing that reaffirms how strong Blitzø thinks Stolas is, is how he prioritized getting Loona to a doctor’s appointment that he had to make YEARS in advance, that she wanted no part in, for a hospital in the sloth ring, which-judging by it being in that ring, and the receptionist that in her own words couldn’t read-is quite a ways incompetent. But getting Loona to said appointment, that she would’ve been just fine pushing off for some more years, was more of a priority than saving Stolas from the assassin with Carmilla’s high-quality, refurbished angelic weapons, that we know can mortally wound and kill demons and some angels?? It just reaffirms how high of a pedestal he puts Stolas on, that he’d rather take that chance that he could save himself, over missing a doctor’s appointment for Loona that they’re both dreading. Ironically, that view of Stolas, only jeopardized their relationship and Stolas’ own safety than it did any good.
Stolas has a pretty good hand in the blame too. He initiated their “favors for favors” relationship. Stolas caught feelings (I know they both did) Blitz couldn’t accept that and Stolas didn’t realize that that’s all it was for Blitz because that’s the agreement they had or that Blitz can’t understand how someone could care about him or even love him. He blindsided Blitz in full moon and when he got a reaction that wasn’t what he expected he shut Blitz out when he didn’t know how to react and lashed out. This is the closest they’ve gotten to an actual conversation about where they stand.
Stolas's song from the episode shows how great his VA (Bryce Pinkman)'s range is! Like he can kill a show tune, a ballad, and a rock song! I've been bumping this one! Also if anyone has time, its fun to go back and spot what all the imps are dressed as at the party. There is a Beetlejuice, a Harley Quin, a poison Ivy, a joker, etc lol
To be fair Stolas always made it about sex first. Even when they met as adults Stolas tipsily introduced the idea of Blitzø showing up to have sex with him. I understand why, but then everything after was Stolas talking only about sex and belittling Blitzø with his language. We know he was trying to be cute, but he’s out of touch and missed how demeaning his words came off. So it’s sort of hypocritical of him to say Blitzø only makes things about sex from Blitzø’s perspective. The way he treats his imp servants probably didn’t help Blitzø think he viewed imps any differently than the other royals either. I mean he used one of them as his own personal stress ball while talking to Stella. Stolas’s main issue is that he doesn’t understand anything about how the world works because he was so sheltered. He missed every sign, we know he loves Blitzø but to Blitzø everything he’s done can be written off as him having an imp fetish. They just need to talk it out. I’m glad that this episode is tackling Blitzø’s issues, but I hope they don’t gloss over Stolas’s part in all of this. He did try to make amends but handled it poorly in S2E8 by putting Blitzø on edge first. He also could have let Blitzø know he wanted to talk about something important so Blitzø wouldn’t have gone in expecting the usual. They both have some serious issues to work out. Plus, while Stolas does love Blitzø he’s also using him too. He wants Blitzø to be this savior, for him to make his life less bleak. Stolas is stuck in a fantasy and doesn’t realize that his fantasy has put a lot of pressure on Blitzø, who didn’t even know he felt that way. It puts it all on Blitzø, someone who has his own issues and Stolas has now shut down. So he refuses to see that Blitzø does want him. It’s not either of their jobs to help the other out, they just need to talk it out. These last two episodes especially are beyond necessary for that process to begin.
Seeing all the damage Blitz has caused really drives home the message, Blitz it's hurt and traumatized, but that doesn't excuse his actions, he hurt so many people and he doesnt realize, Blitz it's literally a fuck boy
Um 20:42 you guys do realize Stolas is not a saint in this relationship right? He did belittle Blitz multiple times, in the fight didn’t let him think or talk, neglects Octavia too, true Blitz is the one with issues but don’t forget Stolas did things wrong too, kinda worry Viv is portraying him as the sole victim here
Viv is not, people just kind of always liked to hate on blitz and iinfantilize stolas in a way. They both have problems, and they both had hard childhoods, but stolas has a lot of power, and just doesn't want to listen. Like when they fought, Blitz was trying to talk, yes he was angry but fighting happens. He was confused and scared, but instead of talking Stolas takes every little thing to heart first and think later. Viv has pretty much said he is emotions first. I think people just have a bad time at reading things. I took this as being both at fault, BUT stolas having all the power so as a whole he is more at fault. Yes he is a sweet guy, but he also is blind to his own actions/social privilege. While Blitz kinda' knows what he is doing but it's a defense because of his childhood/social status. And likes to think everyone is better off. Stolas had all the power in this, but fumbled over and over, then blows it up on Blitz knowing well he is a closed person instead of just talking first. I think as a whole they are both good people, but one is overly passive/privileged and blind to it and one is damaged and hurt causing defensive traits. 2 sides of the same coin, in many cases.
This episode was great, but next episode better have Stolas apologize for absolutely fucking Blitzø over in Full Moon. Blitzø yelled and said some mean words. However, it was all in relation to Stolas taking Blitzø on an emotional roller coaster and then getting upset when Blitzø didn't have his thoughts gathered immediately, followed by sending him away. Stolas is the asshole here. #Blitzødidnothingwrong...thistime
Welp, time to watch the 12th reaction video to this episode. Every time a new episode comes out I watch the episode and then just bounce from channel to channel seeing all the reactions.
This episode singlehandedly catapulted Verosika up the list of my favourite characters. She puts on the party both as a way to surround herself with people who know how she feels, and also to make sure that others who have been hurt by Blitz know they have a support system, even if it is a toxic one
I love how Blitz views the party when he first enters and then when he’s leaving. Completely opposite reactions and the guilt on his face when leaving and seeing how many people he truly screwed over and how it’s effecting them
One thing i love thats just small in this episode is the small smile blitz gives Martha and Mayberry. It actually seems kinda genuine despite also clearly being a bit smug
I'm sorry I love both of them but I need you all to stop being so blind about Bltz perspective of this whole situation, Stolas HAS changed but that doesn't erase that he unintentionally had treated Blitz like a baby or making him uncomfartable with the sex advances. I love Stolas and he needs to recognized these errors and say sorry too
calling it now this is probably gonna be one of my favorite all-time episodes. It has everything I’ve always wanted for these characters. It’s going to be such a rewarding trait to see Blitzø change for the better.
Something i realized literally while watching this, think back to the pilot, and episodes 1 and 2 of season 1, stolas in those literally only talks about swx with blitz, so its safe to assume that atleast for the first bit of their dynamic, stolas did keep it all about sex and only tried to make it a real relationship later on, combine that with blitzes self esteem and self destructive habits, and the general view of imos by higher demons in hell, blitzs reactions throughout the show do make alot of sense, i do think stolas should hold himself accountable in some ways for the earlier part being so hyper sexual, but definitely 100% agree blitz needs to do some serious searching inside to change and accept his actual feelings
I finally got to see the episode with a friend a it was worth the wait!! I see some people are upset that Stolas wasn't called out but the description of the episode points out that he is not yet "self aware" so I trust the writers. Plus he got close in the song. I just love that these two are talking!!! Even when they fight I love it.
With all due respect. I really think you should watch the show and Full Moon again and try to see it from Blitz perspective. Sure, he was really acting shitty in the first scene here. But seen during the whole show, and even in the episode before this, Blitz isn't the only at fault and not the only one who needs to apologise (Stolas did say he was in the wrong in FM but he never actually apologiesd) As someone who understands Blitz perspektiv very well and sympathise with him, its really heartbreaking seeing how so many people put all blame on him and dont take account for how Stolas behaved in season 1 (don't people remember "my impish little plaything"?). Blitz has reasons to feel like Stolas looks down on him, even if Stolas has changed, he never took accountability for that. Blitz didn't do anything wrong by prioritizing his daughter when his friends volunteered to go instead. That was actually reasonable. And he did think of Stolas as immortal since he almost is.
Yeah, and Blitzø did make a good point by saying “if my team and I were able to kick his ass that easily, I was sure you’d have no problem”. That’s fair. And ofc, Striker did have an angelic weapon, but I’m thinking Blitzø didn’t know the capabilities of that. Moxxie did. Because he’s the weapon’s expert. But I don’t think Blitzø did, since he keeps saying he didn’t know Stolas could get hurt. And M&M did volunteer to go. And he did tell Stolas he couldn’t come (and Stolas said he understood, right before being cut off by Striker) so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to Stolas later that episode when Blitzø didn’t come to save him. I think Striker’s words abt Blitzø not coming did just get to Stolas. And Blitzø’s mistake there was not visiting him in the hospital.
Dont forget that Stolas was the one who STARTED THE TRANSACTIONAL SEX IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! And that, if Blitz refused, would mean he'd most likely be out of a job and homeless. Stolas put Blitz in a position of duress. Whether he sees it or not, that's what happened.
@@norsehorse84 just to add onto that he was literally watching him get shot at by Martha and then proposed that deal and blitzø probably wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying.
See the thing I notice as a fellow abuse survivor is that whenever blitz yells at stolas he becomes visibly uncomfortable. He's not just pissed, he's scared bc blitz is screaming at him like his ex wife did. I personally have a trauma response any time someone treats me in a similar vein to the way my abuser treated me. When blitz shouts in his face he is visibly upset not just bc he's shouting but bc it's EXACTLY how stella would act. Makes me want to slap some sense into blitz
Hey Weeby, I recommend playing a game called “World ends club” it’s a 3d (in 2d perspective) visual novel made by the creators of Dangaronpa. Without spoiling anything, here’s a very basic summary: the game is about a bunch of kids ending up in a mysterious underwater theme park where the only means of escape is murder, what mysteries lie beyond? who’s the mastermind? who lives? who dies? find out in: WORLD ENDS CLUB! (This game is too underrated it’s amazing)
Hard agree. I cried at the ending, and I haven't cried at a video game since Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky. Absolutely recommend it, even if the gameplay isn't memorable.
After a few re-watches I noticed that the Incubus guy (who asked Stolas to dance) was wearing a shirt titled "Better than Blitzø". Was Vivian trying to hint us something?...
I mean Stolas was very wishy washy in his messages and giving Blitz a lot of mixed signals with giving suggestions to come with a lot of but you don’t have to etc. in them. Blitz still saw him as unattainable Prince then. Now he kinda knows Stolas has feelings for him and that he hurt his feelings so he is sending memes as a way to reach out and get back on the same page again. It’s misguided of course because it’s just classic avoidance instead of talking out their issues but he was trying in his messed up way 😅.
Tex is actually Verosika's bodyguard. His girlfriend is Bee. You could probably say that he's either chiming in with Verosika, or he remembers Blitz from Bee's party.
can't wait for theme to get together? Gotta wait for one speiific episode, if you've seen the season 2 trailer for the latter half, you know what short clip we saw, you'll know the one, probably in the Christmas episode for theming, just a little food for thought
I love tex's contribution to the song we haven't seen him since queen bee.fizz quickly forgave blitz because it was an accident and mammon's interference
2:06 I saw a comment or vid recently that was like - they figured after last night these two should be past this point 6:15 esp this part 10:30 what about that apology after Ozzie's 32:25 and someone said it works so well because he's incognito, which means he's unable to lash out defensively, which means he _has_ to fully listen
“don’t go see Verosika, Blitz, please, go see a therapist “ THAT IS THE BEST ADVICE FOR HIM EVER
Well, Verosika kind of was his therapist for a bit there, so toe-may-toe toe-mah-toe?
@@aidanklobuchar1798
I think you're right, after this episode I loved Verosika even more, although yesterday I thought I couldn't
He needs to talk to Rosie!!!
@@rosebudb1295 this, yes just yes.
except in the first episode we did learn Blitz is ALREADY seeing a therapist and his therapist clearly sucks ass (as would be expected from y'know...a therapist in hell?) he needs specifically a GOOD therapist somehow XD
I imagine how hard it must have been for Verosika considering she’s a succubus. She finally finds someone to “do the deed” out of love instead of work, only for that person to leave her. That’s rough
And in some depictions if a Succubus falls in love they lose the ability to feel gratification, from anyone other then that individual. And back in he first ep. She was only going for the assist and not try to score herself.. unless it benefited her in other ways.
I love that they're just burning a png of an actual Blitzø plush. Hilarious. Also, I love how much depth Verosika has compared to her first appearance.
I love the blatant merch insert this episode. Spoilers for the next shopping season for the rest?
"I don't think you meant to hurt me, cause i don't think it meant a thing at all" HITS SO HARD!!! Stolas is quickly becoming the most relatable character in the show.
ABSOLUTELY!
Imho, it's much worse to realize someone never loved you than to realize they stopped.
This about sums up life. It doesn't do all that cruel stuff to you on purpose. It isnt even aware of you at all..... 😩
I mean, he did that to himself, remember when he called Blitz his "Little impish toy"?
@@reyzedendrus Just because he said that one thing, doesn’t mean he deserves anything. Don’t you see how hard he’s trying to apologize ? This is season 2 now. Plus Blitzø has been nothing but shit to him as well. They both need to work out their shit.
28:41 if were assuming that in their first interaction in s1 ep3 they’re talking about their break up, Blitz didnt just dump Verosika after she confessed her love to him, he also left her at the hotel they were staying at , stole her car and credit card, and ran off to Wrath to take horse ring lessons. Like, damn dude
Like he did the worst thing he could think of while spiraling to keep Verosika away from him 😭 "You shove away anyone who gets too close until they resent you for being such a shitty shitbag"
20:42 To be fair Stolas should take some accountability. He's the one who made the "exchange deal" with Blitzø, dubbed him his "impish little plaything", and just last episode, gave Blitzø no time to process the love confession bomb he dropped on him out of nowhere before pushing him away, among other things from this and last season. They both have faults they need to answer for, and I hope Vivziepop doesn't retcon it so only Blitzø has to take accountability.
💯
Do you know what retcon means?
If you read the description for the episode, it mentions Stolas not being self aware yet, so I wouldn't worry about it
@@SS-ui7by [(in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency] dont see a problem
Very late to this, but I also think the way Stolas acts towards any other imp is problematic and could be part of Blitzo's lack or realizing the relationship. E.g. I don't think he knows either Milly or Moxxie's names and just calls them "you littler ones" or just points at them, the way he ignores his imp servants, the way that he still seems to expect the formality of "your highness, with all due respect" from Moxxie, or at least doesn't say that he doesn't need said formality. I just think that those could all be things Blitz sees and, incorrectly but understandably, assumes "I'm only special cause I'm his plaything"
At the end, Verosika realized that Blitzø belongs at the “I Hate Blitzø” party more than anyone. Also, that twist Martha and Mrs. Mayberry ship is wild and I love it.
Self hatred is real.
dude you've said this on like a million other videos
@@sssshhhhrrrroooommmm I noticed that too lol
Hold on..I swear I saw this on Elijah’s video
Oh my god! u watch her too??
"Relationships are boring."
"Oh yes, extremely boring. So what are you doing here then?"
OH YEAH AND STOLAS DOWNS HIM IN THE FINAL ROUND WITH THE SIGNATURE BURN HAYMAKER!!
Blitzø: "relationships are fucking boring!"
Also Blitzø: *is obsessed with the M&Ms and their wholesome marriage*
Blitz dissapeard for 7 years after Verosika said that she loves him 💀

We all know Blitzø hates himself more than anyone at the “I hate Blitzø” party.
He hates himself so much he convinced everyone else to hate him too 💀
@@ikirbeeburgrlol
I can't bring myself to not feel bad for Blitz in this situation. Yeah, he fucked up and treated Stolas and everyone else like trash, but the one this dude hates the most his himself. And to be on a party where all people celebrate to hate him? This must hurt, especially to see Stolas there, the person he really wants. I'm sure seeing all the people he hurt is going to be a turning point for Blitz, to change himself, be a better person and make amends.
Absolutely agreed. I like am all for they both fucked up bandwagon but the beginning of this episode really made me loose sympathy real fast. I was watching with a friend and literally got so pissy
I think seeing how may people got hurt because of him was even harder for him that seeing how many people hate him. He already knows everyone hates him and hide behind stupid excuses to not openly recognise that he’s the one in the wrong. He says things like “they’re just bitter they couldn’t tie this ass down” so he can avoid acknowledging the responsibility he had in what happened with these people. So having it all put in his face during that party was necessary for him to finally realise and take the first step towards change.
That part
Did you…watch the episode? Versika explains it clearly even in the letter. This isnt a celebration of people who were heartbroken by Blitz, it’s a means of having closure from the hurt and pain he cause as a partner and that he took advantage of so many people at their lowest and most vulnerable because of his self hatred and this is their way of connecting with others who went through the same thing and building a support network from it while also having some fun.
Sorry, but Blitz giving out his favorite snack as an “apology” was such a cool detail. Cheese and hot sauce.
n
Lol ikr? I hear it’s Brandon’s fav snack too
Except hot bouncer who gets a big bunch of flowers. I think Blitz is still kind of regretting that he didn't pick that dude up
During their talk, Verosika breaks the railings for her to sit while Blitzo sits down without breaking it due to his small size. This means that while they are talking Verosika is the one that is free while Blitzo is still trapped by his self-loathing and other issues.
I noticed that too ❤
I KNEW there was symbolism there. And he sure held the bars like they were a prison to him
:(((
I noticed a LOT of gestures that held a lot of symbolism as well in this episode, the writers, storyboarders and animators absolutely kill those kinds of things.
or it simply means she's dummy thicc and would not fit her massive thighs through the bars
If you like Verosika because she's hot you are going to go absolutely feral in this episode.
The Martha x Ms Mayberry situation had my jaw dropping to the FLOOR.
I appreciate all the extra details this episode, specifically the costumes other demons were wearing at the party. You already noticed Beetlejuice but there's also Kill Bill, Freddy Krueger, and a couple dressed as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Probably others I missed as well. Makes the Halloween party feel more legit to me. Great episode!
The fact that Tex and Verosika were gaslighting Stolas that it’s _all_ on Blitz when he’s realizing it’s his fault as well, even though there’s guilt on both side is just so toxic, and _AHH_
It really toxic and more sad cause I was in a online friendship like that like it was my fault but they never owened up for the crap they done!!
And yet, Weeby and so many others can't see where Stolas is in the wrong. That's my biggest fear for this series, that Viv is going to retcon how Stolas messed up, such as in the previous episode, and make Blitzø the only one who owns up.
@@DanGamingFan2406 God, I hope not. He was on the track of realizing “maybe part of this is my doing?”. It definitely appears that they’re leaning away from Stolas offering Blitz an apology. God, I hope it doesn’t end with the “Nah. All Blitz.”
@DanGamingFan2846 come on Dan. You're usually so good at picking up on things yet you missed all the times Weeby pointed out that Blitzø was wronged too and you didn't read the description in the episode? You're slacking!!
Stolas: when have I ever looked down on you?!
meanwhile Stolas: *S1 EP1(the phone call), S1 EP2 (making multiple sexual advances towards Blitz despite him not wanting it), S1 EP5 (everytime they interacted with each other), S1 EP6(kinda messed up that u saved his life and expected some sexual gratification as a reward)
Also Stolas says how he's tried to make ppl see how much he liked Blitz when in S1 EP7 he hid his face multiple times out of embarrassment of being grouped with him.
U cannot have a true Stolitz ship when only one side is being crucified for screwing up.
Also one more thing it's so sad to see how Blitz' and Stolas' relationship changed. That Stolas even says "Im uncomfortable with how you are speaking to me" shows how Stolas feels currently
Yeah but when Stolas made Blitzø uncomfortable Blitzø should have just been cool about it?????
@@adolfocoy7516what do you mean
@@adolfocoy7516 No one is saying Blitzø should've been cool about it. The difference is Blitzø never expressed being uncomfortable about the situation, and was even enthousiastic about it, until after the date at Ozzie's, after which point Stolas not only stopped doing it, but has also shown regrets about doing it in the first place.
You can't expect Stolas to respect Blitzø's discomfort if he actually seems to be enjoying the dirty talk, and even initiates it.
Meanwhile Stolas has communicated about him not enjoying it anymore, and that should be respected.
@@bouboulrozhe did react very badly to Stolas nicknames very often even calling him a dick in Harvest Moon episode for calling him Blitzy. They both messed up badly and need to make amends imo. 😢
plus Stolas needs some real life relationship experience because he is living in fantasy world too much still. I hope now that they are broken up he gets to date others to grow in his own way too.
@@bouboulroz I think you should re-watch the first few episodes of season 1 cause there are a lot of moments where Blitzo expresses that he's uncomfortable. Like in the Loo Loo land episode where Blitzo constantly tells Stolas to stop flirting with him. Or in the striker episode, where he tells Stolas to stop calling him Blitzi
This is what annoys me in this episode: Blitz is completely valid for thinking Stolas looks down on Imps in general and him in particular and a large part of the community doesn't seem to recognize that.
When did Stolas communicate that he respects Blitz outside of the few words during Full Moon? Stolas constantly uses a nickname Blitz finds demeaning, calls him his "Impish little plaything" during Truthseekers, never even bothers to learn Millie and Moxxie's names and behaves disrespectfully to Imps in a whole slew of other instances. We, the audience, know that Stolas means it to be playful banter when talking to Blitz but he definitely has inherent classism and never bothers to indicate that his banter comes from a position of respect, and as such that doesn't get through to Blitz.
Exactly! Even during this episode, why does Stolas refers to Striker as ‘that vile Striker friend of yours’. To me, it felt like the expression used had classist and racist undertones. Maybe I’m overthinking it though.
@@lia_anh I can't think of a more fitting word for Stryker than "vile", so I really don't see it.
@@xXSamir44Xx Yeah, I’m probably overthinking it tbh. Him calling Striker Blitz’ ‘friend’ gave me bad vibes (it’s weird as they clearly aren’t on good terms). It felt like he was referring to the fact that both of them are imps (although Striker is mixed).
@@lia_anh Stolas doesn't know that Blitz and Striker are on bad terms. The last Stolas saw from Striker before being kidnapped was Blitz inviting him to IMP. Stolas didn't know about the assassination attempt and subsequent fight
@@TheDJdragonflame But after Striker tried to assassinate Stolas for the second time and IMP kicked his ass, it would be weird for them to still be on good terms. I know Stolas doesn’t know about everything, and again he probably referred to them as friends due to what he saw at the Harvest Moon Festival. It’s just that on the moment that expression gave me bad vibes. But the more I think about it, I’m probably wrong 😑
My favourite part of the episode is for sure Martha and Mayberry hooking up XD
How much ya wanna bet it’s one of those classic cases where it started out with a heated argument/fight over Mayberry’s husband then simmered down to a drunken night together then finished off with them having angry $€x and waking up the next morning saying “eh why not”
@@DarkKnightofAnime I can see it having gone two ways really, either something like you said with them arguing about it all, most of all about Mayberry's husband and her having made him cheat and all that jazz. Or, Martha actually sought her out because, well.... Like, the girl not only came home and went berserk when she found her husband cheating, trying and failing to kill her. But she even literally had demons come from hell to finish her off for her. A sort of earnest and total absolute dedication that someone like Martha, that's always been cheating just had never experienced at all.
It's rather telling that despite threats to the contrary, no one actually attacks Blitzo at the party even if they do recognize him.
They could probably be too drunk to even care.
So I had this thought- what if Blitz really didn't know angelic weapons can kill Goetia? It was Moxxie, who we know is a weapons expert, and Stryker who had asserted that in Harvest Moon, before Blitz had any idea of the situation. And in Western Energy Blitz had to be told that blessed rope can "limit Stolas' ability." And think about that word, "limit." He didn't say blessed weapons can kill him, he said the blessed rope "limits" his ability. To what extent Blitz wouldn't know. idk just something that popped into my head since the whole thing about him not knowing he could be hurt has been brought up in a literal sense like 3 times now.
It seemed that he knew he can be killed. The harvest moon festival episode, blitz says “…about to off my easy and lengthy ticket to earth” then we have that striker monologue about killing other royals and fight the system.
@@Salza02 I thought that too but they just keep hammering it home it seems a bit odd to me for it not to be literal
@@TheFangirlOtaku I think Viv and the team just wanted to make it more emotional and show how blitz sees stolas as a god. It always bother me about those contradictions. But in the end, I think that scene didn’t align with the team’s plan for s2
@@Salza02 I 100% agree with the double meaning, I figured it was more about how he doesn't realize he can hurt Stolas emotionally but was being gradually faced with the fact that his self destructive behavior does hurt other people, including the person he puts on that indestructible pedestal. Maybe they got lost in the sauce of their own metaphor? idk it's a small oversight for me in a show where the characters are so well-written and portrayed otherwise. 🤷♀️
I’m not convinced Blitzø is entirely projecting Stolas looking down on him. For example the “impish little plaything” line or how Stolas completely hid his face under Ozzie’s scrutiny.
Stolas has done a lot to lead to this situation.
“Don’t see Verosika see a therapist” and then Verosika became a therapist /hj
some people just need a kick into the right direction
25:00
This moment.... actually makes me very concerned.
Yes, there is some obvious chemistry between the two, but ultimately, Stolas just doesn't want to be alone.
A part of me worries that Stolas has latched on to Blitzo in an unhealthy way and actually needs to take time away from him and.... "explore" other people, or at least explore how he feels about seeing other people.
I really hope we get an episode of Stolas doing his own share of character development, because he keeps ignoring Blitzo's own problems and inputs every time he give him it, and I think it's going be good for him to make friends and get with someone else, because the way he talks about Blitzo sometimes is like he only likes him because he is the only one who ever gave him affection, so the relationship will be healthier if he gets the affection of a lot of other people and realize that he doesn't want to be "someone's someone", he wants to be Blitzo's someone, then his love for him will feel more genuine and not just result of lack of options. I kinda want a cheesy scene of Blitzo talking badly about himself and Stolas stops him and starts to list everything he loves about him, would be so sweet (I also have deep self-hatred, if someone did that to me I would cry myself to sleep, in a good way). Also, Stolas dismissing Blitzo and saying he doesn't want to see him ever since Blitzo thought the confession was a roleplay really just perpetuates Blitzo's idea that he always ruins everything and make people's lifes worse just for being there. Yes, Blitzo needs a lot of growth, but so does Stolas, they don't understand each other at all (Blitzo is starting to in this episode tho). Btw, these are not all the problems their relationship have, I'm just listing some of them, it's so complicated I would need to write many pages about it.
Hey, completely new viewer here, I have been absolutely BINGING your reactions to Helluva Boss, Hazbin and a trip down memory lane with FNAF. I'm really enjoying your attitude and bubbly personality. In the end, I just wanted to tell you that you're awesome and I'm enjoying the content lots!
I'm gonna be honest, I love seeing Stolas be sassy cause it's funny, but I find it hard to be on his side when he is still being a massive hypocrite. He talks about how uncomfortable Blitz is making him, when Stolas ignored Blitz's boundaries and comfort through all of season one. He asks 'when have I ever' in reference to looking down on him, when throughout all of season one he referred to Blitz as "my little imp" and other demeaning things like that, often disregarding Blitz's actual feelings and requests. So while it's great to see him be sassy and the role reversal is hilarious, I don't want the show to JUST be Blitz fixing things. Stolas has a lot of things he needs to fix too. The lyrics of his song where he wonders if he was in the wrong give me hope.
THANK YOU
This! This isn't all on Blitz and, while I love watching people react to the show because I always learn something else or hear insights I missed, I have yet to find someone who can see that both blitz and stolas are at least partially in the wrong.
@@stressedandunimpressedI can recommend Sarchastic Chorus for that ❤
Atleast in Stolas' song in the episode there were parts in it that looked like he understood that he made mistakes along the way. Hopefully Stolas can see his role in this and learn from it as well
My personal theory is Stolas is going to realize his mistake through exploring relationships with other hell borne. Pretty much all his interactions with those in a lower class than him has been Blitz. I don’t think Stolas truly realize how offensive he came off or how bad the class divide is until he actually socialize and mingle with those outside his bubble. So dating others is going the open his eyes. Alternatively , the shit likely coming Ozzie way with Fizz could also be a huge reveal for Stolas in realize how shitty the attitude towards imps is since Mammon already said that Ozzie was going to regret revealing his relationship. Either way, Stolas side in this isn’t going to be brushed away as it’s already been brought up in multiple episodes with Blitz.
20:40
But... he really fucked up too... I mean, Blitz IS a Motherfucker, how song suggests, but Stolas failed to adress, acknowledge, communicate a whole bunch of issues himself as well. There is rarely only "Good" and "Bad" side of conversation. Like its easier to blame only person that isnt you. And its ok. You need to protect yourself in hard time. But after some time its essental to see your fails... I really hope, Stolas would apologize to Blitz as well.
Yes, they are both partially responsible for the bad things that happened between them, and Stolas knows that he messed up too at some point. He realised that the transactional relationship they had was unhealthy and feels guilty for putting Blitz through that. That’s why he gave Blitz the crystal. There are some other things he may need to apologise for too. But during the events of Full Moon and the morning of Apology Tour, Blitz was really shitty to him by insulting him, screaming at him and pushing his boundaries. I think if Blitz hadn’t resorted to anger at that moment, and they actually had a conversation, Stolas may have apologised for the things he did wrong. But now that Blitz has hurt him so much, I dont think he’s in the right place to do it. At least not now. Now, he needs some space, and maybe when blitz come back at him to have a real conversation and apologise for the things that happened, then Stolas will be able to apologise too.
@@aaazzz8324But Blitz already had an inferiority complex. With the bargain Stolas established between them, it ONLY worsens things up because their relationship started as some sort of power dynamic. The thing is, Stolas EXPECTS that his actions wont have consequences by breaking the deal and saying sorry. But thats not how things go.
Actions have consequences and Stolas cant expect Blitz to fall on his arms after he gives him the asmodeus crystal. He didnt give time for Blitz to properly think and he didnt try to understand how Blitz would doubt him considering not only was their relationship at that point purely transactional, but Blitz also had a very bad past.
@JoaoPedro-eq3hj I don't think he expected Blitz to fall in his arm after he gave him the crystal and explained his feelings. He knew that Blitz not returning his feelings was a possibility (he even says in the Full Moon duet "if he's only here as a prisoner, what kind of monster does that makes me). What he didn't expect and what hurt him was the way Blitz resorted to anger and insulted him during Full Moon and it only got worse when Blitz continued and pushed Stolas' boundaries during the morning of Apology Tour.
I'm not sure Stolas realised that the way he used to talk to Blitz may have worsened his feeling of inferiority. He sees Blitz as an equal so much that he can't see things from Blitz's perspective and understanding why Blitz would feel inferior because he's an imp. Because in his eyes, he doesn't see Imps as below him. And it makes him blind to his own behaviour, which he probably inherited from his father, who taught him that Goetia was above imps.
I think that he will be able to realise if Blitz opens up about it and tells him how that felt for him. I'm sure when he realises that he will apologise. Bit before Blitz tells him about that, he has to Apologise to Stolas too.
💯
@@aaazzz8324 they couldnt be having a real conversation because Stolas immediatly ran away and got pissy because he didnt get the immediate answer hew wanted. Blitz only got mad after he had to chase Stolas through the entire house while getting pretty much gaslit into thinking he was in the wrong for not realizing sooner with the "obvious" signs that he just didnt really give. Both are at fault for not having said needed Conversation.
I love how the theme from "Look My Way" starts playing when Blitz says "And there it is, took ya long enough!", and starts to build while Stolas is explaining how he doesn't look down on Blitz. Then, when Blitz starts yelling it cuts out completely, just before it was about to peak.
I was not prepared for sassy Stolas in the beginning of this episode lol
After this episode, those who were on the Verosika hate wagon, immediately got off it.
Love that girl.
In Blitzø defence. His wife was literally talking about having Sticker killed right in front of him and was oblivious.
People are constantly missing a few crucial details in this whole Blitz and Stolas thing, I think even the writers here forgot them for this episode, because it's very strongly framed that Blitz is the only one who needs to apologize, but in reality... majority of the way Blitz handled things, within context, are 100% justified.
First, what reason did Blitz have for believing that his thing with Stolas was anything other than what he thought it was? It's not like Stolas communicated any of that before the last episode, and when they were called out at Ozzie's club, rather than Stolas showing Blitz he had no shame over their relationship, he instead showed he was VERY MUCH ashamed. In this previous episode, he just dumped all his baggage on Blitz without warning and expected Blitz to have everything figured out within the course of what was effectively less than a minute.
90% of the time in season 1 when Blitz and Stolas speak to each other, Stolas IS talking down to Blitz. "Oooh Blitzy-Witzy~" "This book is for Hell ROYALTY, not ITTY BITTY WIDDLE IMPS LIKE YOU". All the other imps in Stolas's life are servants. What reason does Blitz have to think he's really any different, especially when pretty much EVERY time things get sexual between Stolas and Blitz it's STOLAS coming on to Blitz? It's literally Stolas calling on Blitz to fulfil their "agreement", and serve him.
Yeah Blitz needs to learn to accept when people genuinely care about him, BUT STOLAS NEVER GAVE BLITZ ANY REASON TO THINK HE REALLY DID BEFORE. What Blitz said to Fizz while they were in the cage, he GENUINELY believed, and continued to believe all the way up until the end of S2 E8. What happened last episode shattered Blitz's world view. He SHOULD be mad because there was no lead up to this. Yeah he's lashing out childishly in the beginning of this episode, but I fully see where that anger is coming from.
The things people miss about Blitz and Stolas's relationship are that the Hell Hierarchy is very REAL and Stolas has been very bad at showing and communicating to Blitz that he doesn't SEE Blitz as lesser than him, and in fact has been acting in ways that reinforce that entire narrative in Blitz's mind. And before anyone talks about the way Stolas acts in Season 2, notice how Blitz and Stolas are apart for a vast majority of the season, all the way up until episode 8, with the ONLY real exception being episode 2. It's even stated last episode that it was a few months before they'd seen each other. Great of Stolas to give himself all that time to plan their meeting only just to ambush Blitz all of a sudden with a bunch of stuff he could have never been prepared for on his own.
As a possibly autistic princess of hell once said…
“It starts with sorry!~”
That's your foot in the door, one simple sorry
Spoken straight from your core
someone else said this already in the comments, but i just want to point out that while blitz has a LOT of obvious faults, let's not let stolas off the hook either. it doesn't erase the way blitz has treated him, but stolas saying "i've never looked down on you- when have i ever?" -- we need to recognize that "little imp" "impish little plaything" and flirting with him in public when blitz clearly was uncomfortable etc. did have an impact on blitz
also stolas said "when you couldn't bother to come help me" (referring to striker) - blitz was tending to his DAUGHTER. i think we shouldn't forget that either; it wasn't easy to drop that appointment. he waited 5 years for a shot that is required YEARLY. the system is so against the favor of imps and hellhounds, of course blitz couldn't imagine a goetian prince actually caring about him
Something I noticed about Stolas is with his robe, earlier in the series he would wear it looser and more open at the bottom whereas in this episode it was lighter and more closed off at the bottom, as if he knew Blitz would be trying to get in his pants if he showed up and that Stolas felt that he needed that protection from Blitz with ngl is really sad
"I don't look down on you. How many times do I- When have I EVER-?" ... "..this idea you have of me, that I'm this prince who thinks he's so much better than you. Well, I don't."
~"Who dares threaten my IMPISH LITTLE PLAYTHING?", "Sound fair, my little imp?", "I'll pay you... money", "You are so cute when you are serious", "Um, I think I'm supposed be body guarded right now. Ugh, that's better. Where is Blitzie. He's my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones", "...and [my grimoire] isn't supposed to be leant out to itty bitty imps like yourself", "Greetings, tiny Wrath Ring imps. I hereby welcome you all to another year of celebrating the spoils of your labor that continue to feed the citizens of Hell!", "How the fuck did you get caught by humans? Are you little creatures not being careful up here. You know if YOU get in trouble, I get in trouble. WE don't want that", "Leave [Blitz] to me, I will handle him accordingly. Follow me, Imp", "What are you doing? I barely remember your name".
+Multiple instances of baby talk and pinching his cheek and objectifying him - putting out a cigarette on his horn. And pay attention to how Stolas treats imp service staff.
The first song is a breakup balad, while the second song starts to sink in that Blitz needs to let go, signifying that that's the breakup
Despite me being amongst those who aren’t the biggest fan of the fact that this show is a rom-com now, I actually like what I assume they’re going for. Shipping has always been the part of shows I’m least interested in, but I can still appreciate the good parts.
They didn’t force them back together, but they didn’t shut the door on the whole thing either. I prefer when the character grows into a relationship over growing BECAUSE of a relationship. A wise man once said, “The best you can do is strive to be someone worthy of loving." Sometimes the best way to have a better relationship is to become better without one.
6:20 Yeah...but he DOES look down on Blitz...there are MULTIPLE times Stolas' degrades Blitz by simply not respecting him. There are receipts...
I'll never get over the "Impish little play thing" line. It's so racist if you think about it for more than a minute
Stolas doesn't looks down on Blitz. He was raised by a classis dad with no other influences so he makes really stupid comments. Not excusing him though. He needs to address and fix that part of himself and desperately needs to apologize to Blitz for it but Stolas can't get why Blitz thinks he looks down on him because he doesn't actually look down on Blitz.
@snakesareamazing me either. That is something that needs to be addressed but unfortunately it won't until Stolas looks at himself and realizes he makes really shifty comments due to his upbringing and it doesn't excuse anything because as an adult it is Stolas's job to do better.
@@savannahvillarreal6500I think Stolas will realise how much he messed up too... At least, there was a phrases from Octavia like "You never loved me, mum, you loved HIM", and I hope there will be a tour for Stolas personally
@@savannahvillarreal6500 It's more then just ackward comments. He literally disrespects Blitz all the time. For example, Blitz directly asks Stolas' to call him Blitz, not 'Blitzy' or anything else, MULTIPLE times. That's not respect for him, it's dismissive and disrespectful.
While this episode was massively bittersweet we finally get the Breakthrough we've been yearning and burning for.
Blitz is made to realize that not only has he actually hurt Stolas a lot with his actions but a bunch of other people thanks to Verosika ripping away the bullshit Blitz uses to shield himself from the consequences of his fucked up actions to people. Because Blitz can no longer hide behind, 'We're in Hell, we're supposed to be shitty and why am I the bad guy just because I'm bad at relationships!?" while acting like he deserves sympathy.
When like. Verosika told Blitz she loved him and Blitz's reaction to that was to steal her car and credit cards, wreck the car and max out the credit cards on horse riding lessons and then act like she's the unreasonable one and that is unambiguously kinda fucked.
Even the two 'Non-Apologies' he gives to the two Ex's kinda hint that he does this with other people.
Sleeping with an Ex's mother just wrecks that persons relationship with their parent and presumably wrecking someone's Sister's wedding....Something that a family will never let someone live down. ("Why did you invite that asshole boyfriend who wrecked your Sisters wedding?!" is the kind of thing families will remember for decades. >.>) is all the kind of stuff that leaves a lot of anger and bitterness...It's not a huge surprise.
And we see Blitz just sort of realize that as he's listening to Verosika and an Ex he probably remembers break into sobs and it all hits home and we actually see him give an actual apology to someone who wasn't Stolas (Who Blitz claims is probably the one person he owed an apology to.)
It's definitely growth. That and taking Verosika's advice and leaving Stolas alone so he could have a good time and enjoy himself after the shit Blitz put him through and the awful shit he'd been dealing with in regards to the divorce, assassination attempt, hospital stay and trouble with his daughter...The guy just needed a night where he didn't feel like garbage and just have a fun night at a party with people he seemed to actually enjoy being around. (Probably the first such party he's been to in....Decades maybe....)
You get the sense that the fire has burned everything down but that fire needed to burn everything to ash so both Stolas and Blitz can move forward and try again from scratch.
That's my take anyway.
Amazing take, i couldn’t say it better ! That was an amazing episode and we’re finally getting to see Blitz take responsibility for his actions. Many people seem to think this is the end of their relationship or are scared that they’re not going to return together after that, but this episode, in my opinion, ended on a very hopeful note, because it ended with Blitz taking the first step towards change.
@@aaazzz8324now we just need Stolas to realise how toxic he was.
@@G.D.G.I think stolas realizes many of his faults in the relationship Too I mean he sings about the power imbalance and how toxic the relationship was many times. He needs to gain some confidence in himself and in his relationships before he is truly ready to have a conversation about these issues with blitz. They are both scared of confrontation but have two different reactions to it blitz is so ready to be the problem when things like this happen while stolas is more likely to run and become a people pleaser to avoid conflict.
Blitzø isn't the only one who needs to admit his mistakes, Stolas is a Hypocrite as well, and Blitzø actually has the very right to lash out at him, both need to figure out themselves before committing to a serious relationship
Unfortunately, Blitz's been getting all the crap and blame for their relationship as he is the first to lash out. :/ I am so anxious for an episode in which Stolas owns his part too. ):
@@luhanxavier The worst part is everything Blitz does is totally in character, so I can't even harp on some big writing flaw for this episode specifically. He's a self-saboteur and he's clearly trying to burn the bridge with Stolas really hard, which inversely correlates with how much he cares.
If I had to guess, the theater of memories will open the next episode and be revealed as a nightmare Blitz is having that Moxie and Millie wake him up from to tell him about the ghost problem at the hotel, and that's where Blitz and Millie will have a very personal argument and fight, resulting in Blitz completely breaking down.
I'm basing all of this on one trailer BTW and what Millie says about destroying those around him and leaving them worse them before he found them.
Guess we'll find out in October
My theory is that it’s part of the haunting he’s battling at the hotel with Millie. I’m imagining the writing drawing a parallel of being haunted by ghosts, and being haunted by the past. Like it looks like at some point he’s possessed, so maybe his consciousness is trapped in that memory theatre in the meantime. But yup, we’ll see in October!
As bad as it hurts, they do need to spend some time apart and learn to heal themselves before they can love each other
for context, blitz is treating it entirely like sex because STOLAS started it as a sexual transaction, its not like either of them are in the right, because neither of them are. They both have their problems and struggle to actually recognize and grow from them.
I'm really worried that what Stolas said while drunk will only make things worse, no fault to him, Blitz shouldn't have confronted have continued the conversation when he realized how drunk Stolas was. But Blitz asked what Stolas liked about Blitz and he ranted about a generic lover who desired him. I can really see Blitz taking that to heart and thinking that Stolas would have latched on the any guy that broke him out of his depressed life with Stella. We the audience know different, but.... ya
ALGORITHM ENGAGEMENT SQUAD... ENGAGE!!!
While I do think Blitz needs to apologize and out of him and Stolas, he is the one more in the wrong, I see a lot of people that forget that BOTH of them are in the wrong and just rag on Blitz for his part. We as the audience, get the luxury to see Stolas's perspective of his feelings develop, while Blitz does not, until Full Moon, where by that point, Stolas has had months to come to terms with his feelings and create scenarios in his head where he wants Blitz to act in a certain way, that when he does confess his feelings to Blitz, for him, it comes out of nowhere, and instead of Stolas giving him time to process his feelings, he gets less than a minute before Stolas cuts him off for not immediatly acting the way he wanted him to and dismisses him. Also, a lot of people forget Stolas's actions in the earlier episodes, where he's the one to propose the sexual transactional relationship, constantly makes sexual advances that make Blitz uncomfotable, and where he calls Blitz somewhat demeaning things like "my little imp" and "my impish little plaything", and with *all* of his butlers and servants being imps, who are a lower class to Stolas, the same species as Blitz, it does make sense why Blitz would get the idea in his head that Stolas thinks of Blitz as "lesser" or "one of his butler imps". Again, i'm not saying this as an attempt to paint Stolas as being more in the wrong, I love him and as we've seen his perspective, I know that he is trying his best the best he knows how, but I think they both are the reason for their relationship falling apart as it is and they both need to heal and apologize and I don't see a lot of people who recognize that before solely blaming one or the other, especially Blitz.
Watching this over and over makes me see the pattern that Blitz does. Anyone who Self Sabotages during a relationship usually try to cut ties in a way by using the love that was there and bastardizing it by making all of it sound worst of then it is as an attack towards the one they love. Blitz did have a lot of sexual stuff that happen with Stolas, so he keeps harping on that over and over to make Stolas feel very bad about themself so they hate Blitz and Blitz has a reason to justify his attitude when in the opposite, he enjoyed some of those moment.
Verosika said he was a fun loving guy till he broke it off the moment she said she loved him. Giving him his heart shaped cake of himself.
Stolas wants a certain romance to happen but also forgets that heartbreak is a part of that, arguing is a part of that too but he is right in how he feels since all that was afforded to him was responsibilities to his position. Both have never been able to find love that sticks yet Blitz makes it so much harder on himself. I mean how many people can say you get with so many people that they make a hate party dedicated to how much they cared and became totally ruined by his actions. Heck even in the beginning with Stolas when they grew older and Blitz genuinely was there to steal the book instead of being there for a friend. Deep down, this is one person he will definitely have to face up to after so much has happened. I think Blitz can but will have to face himself in a heavy way to do that. I wish they didn't make us wait for sooooo long bruhhh lol. It hurts
I can’t think of very much that would be more painful for someone like Blitz than being forced to both confront how many peoples he has hurt and to watch Stolas be happy with someone else (even if just temporarily). But without being forced to go through something like that he was never going to grow
I loved the Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn Demons Cameo during the performance.
One thing that I discovered from seeing storyboards that didn't make it in is one of the guests is Travis. Yeah, TRAVIS. Valentino's director and script writer. Then again he did have that cameo in Spring Broken in line trying to hire IMP for whatever reason. Who knows, maybe he and Blitzø hooked up?
This episode broke my hearttttt 😭😭😭
To be fair to Blitzø... Stolas kinda made the whole relationship about sex. While Stolas doesn't realize it he also talked down to Blitzø frequently, calling him Blitzy when he said not to, referring to him as a little imp. The transactional aspect too doesn't help. I don't blame Blitzø fully for not comprehending that a prince of hell could actually love him, he doesn't love himself and the last episode was the first time Stolas was clear about his feelings and to Blitzø he was woefully unprepared.
Btw, Tex's VA is James Monroe Iglehart, which is the same VA as Asmodeus, so it makes sense that they would want Tex to be part of the song lol
I was really hoping that Verosika was gonna say: You wanna change, it just starts with sorry. Perfect as topic and as reference to Hazbin Hotel.
Weeby's reactions to everything are gold🤍🤍🤍
I do think that Stolas was out of line for criticizing Blitz for not coming himself to save him from Stryker in Western Energy. Blitz TOLD him he couldn't because he had something important with Loona. Which even at the time Stolas totally brushed off ("Oh yes, well that IS important, BUT I think..."). Plus it's not like he did nothing, he send M&M who clearly did a good job saving him and beating Stryker.
Stolas is really coming off as the partner who's upset that their boyfriend prioritized their kid over them.
Stolas needs to understand that he will always be #2 in Blitz's life AFTER Loona. As it should be. Blitz has an obligation to Loona as her dad to always put her first. And Stolas, of all people, should know that, since he's a father too.
💯
What? It was literally life threatening for Stolas. He would've died if Stella hadn't called off the hit. That's a bit different than Loona missing a shot. Heck they wouldn't even have needed to wait several years, Stolas could've just arranged it as a thank you for saving him. This isn't just prioritizing your kid over your partner, it's complete disregard for their safety.
@@tomfou Stolas made it seem like he wasn't in danger and Blitz didn't think it was possible for Stolas to be hurt, Blitz got serious at the end and decided to send the two people he trusts the most to save Stolas since while Blitz could have gone himself he hadn't even fathomed that Stolas was at risk of death
@@izukumidoriya8600
I understand why Blitz acted the way he did, but that isn't the point here. OP claimed Stolas was out of line for criticizing Blitz and was just upset about him prioritizing Loona.
@@tomfou He was out of line. Even at the time I thought he was wrong. Blitz told Stolas he had something important with his daughter but Stolas wanted him to drop that and come play hero for him. This was before Stolas even realized he could be in actual danger. And now he's pissy Blitz didn't come HIMSELF, like that would have made any difference. He just wanted his romance novel scene.
This is not the first time Stolas has done that either. He did the same thing with his OWN daughter at Looloo Land, and she called him out on it. "You just spend all your time flirting with some weird, red, dickhead".
As fucked up as Blitz is, Stolas lets his craving for grand romance override his responsibilities. It's rather selfish and immature.
You can't really put it all on Blitz though. Go back and reawatch the entire first season where Stolas was only ever after sex and even talked down to blitz here and there. It wasn't until the tail end of season 1 he actually started pursuing an emotional aspect and not very clearly.
I mean his family literally bought blitz off his father and then Stolas turned him into a sex toy just so Blitz could do his job.
Cut forward to now and even here it is lopsided. Blitz tells Stolas how he only wanted to apologize to him and Stolas responds with he "doesnt want to feel alone" and wants to be somebody's sombody. So in a way Blitz can see himself as still being used just for a different purpose.
"Over You" is such a bop though
8:24 anther thing that reaffirms how strong Blitzø thinks Stolas is, is how he prioritized getting Loona to a doctor’s appointment that he had to make YEARS in advance, that she wanted no part in, for a hospital in the sloth ring, which-judging by it being in that ring, and the receptionist that in her own words couldn’t read-is quite a ways incompetent. But getting Loona to said appointment, that she would’ve been just fine pushing off for some more years, was more of a priority than saving Stolas from the assassin with Carmilla’s high-quality, refurbished angelic weapons, that we know can mortally wound and kill demons and some angels?? It just reaffirms how high of a pedestal he puts Stolas on, that he’d rather take that chance that he could save himself, over missing a doctor’s appointment for Loona that they’re both dreading. Ironically, that view of Stolas, only jeopardized their relationship and Stolas’ own safety than it did any good.
Absolutly hullarious that the shirts Wally is selling at the end if the epaiode are actual merch they released alongside this epiaode XD
I think you should watch Sarcastic Chorus' video analysis on Full Moon, really interesting
You know: I do want Blitz and Stolas to be happy, and they deserve to be. But I feel like if theyre happier apart then I can live with that
Stolas has a pretty good hand in the blame too. He initiated their “favors for favors” relationship. Stolas caught feelings (I know they both did) Blitz couldn’t accept that and Stolas didn’t realize that that’s all it was for Blitz because that’s the agreement they had or that Blitz can’t understand how someone could care about him or even love him. He blindsided Blitz in full moon and when he got a reaction that wasn’t what he expected he shut Blitz out when he didn’t know how to react and lashed out. This is the closest they’ve gotten to an actual conversation about where they stand.
Stolas's song from the episode shows how great his VA (Bryce Pinkman)'s range is! Like he can kill a show tune, a ballad, and a rock song! I've been bumping this one! Also if anyone has time, its fun to go back and spot what all the imps are dressed as at the party. There is a Beetlejuice, a Harley Quin, a poison Ivy, a joker, etc lol
"I don't look down on you!" also him "impish little play thing"
and also "itty bitty imps like yourself".
I was mind blown when I heard him say that
To be fair Stolas always made it about sex first. Even when they met as adults Stolas tipsily introduced the idea of Blitzø showing up to have sex with him. I understand why, but then everything after was Stolas talking only about sex and belittling Blitzø with his language. We know he was trying to be cute, but he’s out of touch and missed how demeaning his words came off.
So it’s sort of hypocritical of him to say Blitzø only makes things about sex from Blitzø’s perspective. The way he treats his imp servants probably didn’t help Blitzø think he viewed imps any differently than the other royals either. I mean he used one of them as his own personal stress ball while talking to Stella.
Stolas’s main issue is that he doesn’t understand anything about how the world works because he was so sheltered. He missed every sign, we know he loves Blitzø but to Blitzø everything he’s done can be written off as him having an imp fetish. They just need to talk it out. I’m glad that this episode is tackling Blitzø’s issues, but I hope they don’t gloss over Stolas’s part in all of this.
He did try to make amends but handled it poorly in S2E8 by putting Blitzø on edge first. He also could have let Blitzø know he wanted to talk about something important so Blitzø wouldn’t have gone in expecting the usual. They both have some serious issues to work out. Plus, while Stolas does love Blitzø he’s also using him too. He wants Blitzø to be this savior, for him to make his life less bleak.
Stolas is stuck in a fantasy and doesn’t realize that his fantasy has put a lot of pressure on Blitzø, who didn’t even know he felt that way. It puts it all on Blitzø, someone who has his own issues and Stolas has now shut down. So he refuses to see that Blitzø does want him. It’s not either of their jobs to help the other out, they just need to talk it out. These last two episodes especially are beyond necessary for that process to begin.
Seeing all the damage Blitz has caused really drives home the message, Blitz it's hurt and traumatized, but that doesn't excuse his actions, he hurt so many people and he doesnt realize, Blitz it's literally a fuck boy
LOVE YOUR REACTION TO THE GUY DANCING WITH STOLAS. STOLAS NEEDS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BLITZ AND FUCKING STELLA!
Um 20:42 you guys do realize Stolas is not a saint in this relationship right? He did belittle Blitz multiple times, in the fight didn’t let him think or talk, neglects Octavia too, true Blitz is the one with issues but don’t forget Stolas did things wrong too, kinda worry Viv is portraying him as the sole victim here
Viv is not, people just kind of always liked to hate on blitz and iinfantilize stolas in a way. They both have problems, and they both had hard childhoods, but stolas has a lot of power, and just doesn't want to listen. Like when they fought, Blitz was trying to talk, yes he was angry but fighting happens. He was confused and scared, but instead of talking Stolas takes every little thing to heart first and think later. Viv has pretty much said he is emotions first. I think people just have a bad time at reading things. I took this as being both at fault, BUT stolas having all the power so as a whole he is more at fault. Yes he is a sweet guy, but he also is blind to his own actions/social privilege. While Blitz kinda' knows what he is doing but it's a defense because of his childhood/social status. And likes to think everyone is better off. Stolas had all the power in this, but fumbled over and over, then blows it up on Blitz knowing well he is a closed person instead of just talking first. I think as a whole they are both good people, but one is overly passive/privileged and blind to it and one is damaged and hurt causing defensive traits. 2 sides of the same coin, in many cases.
This episode was great, but next episode better have Stolas apologize for absolutely fucking Blitzø over in Full Moon. Blitzø yelled and said some mean words. However, it was all in relation to Stolas taking Blitzø on an emotional roller coaster and then getting upset when Blitzø didn't have his thoughts gathered immediately, followed by sending him away. Stolas is the asshole here. #Blitzødidnothingwrong...thistime
I completely agree with you. I hope Stolas apologizes to blitzø.
Welp, time to watch the 12th reaction video to this episode. Every time a new episode comes out I watch the episode and then just bounce from channel to channel seeing all the reactions.
This episode singlehandedly catapulted Verosika up the list of my favourite characters. She puts on the party both as a way to surround herself with people who know how she feels, and also to make sure that others who have been hurt by Blitz know they have a support system, even if it is a toxic one
I love how Blitz views the party when he first enters and then when he’s leaving. Completely opposite reactions and the guilt on his face when leaving and seeing how many people he truly screwed over and how it’s effecting them
Verosika doesnt kick Blitz out of the Blitz Hate Party... because there is no one that hates Blitz more... than Blitz
One thing i love thats just small in this episode is the small smile blitz gives Martha and Mayberry. It actually seems kinda genuine despite also clearly being a bit smug
I'm sorry I love both of them but I need you all to stop being so blind about Bltz perspective of this whole situation, Stolas HAS changed but that doesn't erase that he unintentionally had treated Blitz like a baby or making him uncomfartable with the sex advances. I love Stolas and he needs to recognized these errors and say sorry too
calling it now this is probably gonna be one of my favorite all-time episodes. It has everything I’ve always wanted for these characters. It’s going to be such a rewarding trait to see Blitzø change for the better.
Something i realized literally while watching this, think back to the pilot, and episodes 1 and 2 of season 1, stolas in those literally only talks about swx with blitz, so its safe to assume that atleast for the first bit of their dynamic, stolas did keep it all about sex and only tried to make it a real relationship later on, combine that with blitzes self esteem and self destructive habits, and the general view of imos by higher demons in hell, blitzs reactions throughout the show do make alot of sense, i do think stolas should hold himself accountable in some ways for the earlier part being so hyper sexual, but definitely 100% agree blitz needs to do some serious searching inside to change and accept his actual feelings
"Dont go see Verosika Blitz go see a therapist"
*Verosika ending up being the therapist*
12:16 SHE IS A HERO!!!
I finally got to see the episode with a friend a it was worth the wait!! I see some people are upset that Stolas wasn't called out but the description of the episode points out that he is not yet "self aware" so I trust the writers. Plus he got close in the song. I just love that these two are talking!!! Even when they fight I love it.
With all due respect. I really think you should watch the show and Full Moon again and try to see it from Blitz perspective. Sure, he was really acting shitty in the first scene here. But seen during the whole show, and even in the episode before this, Blitz isn't the only at fault and not the only one who needs to apologise (Stolas did say he was in the wrong in FM but he never actually apologiesd)
As someone who understands Blitz perspektiv very well and sympathise with him, its really heartbreaking seeing how so many people put all blame on him and dont take account for how Stolas behaved in season 1 (don't people remember "my impish little plaything"?).
Blitz has reasons to feel like Stolas looks down on him, even if Stolas has changed, he never took accountability for that.
Blitz didn't do anything wrong by prioritizing his daughter when his friends volunteered to go instead. That was actually reasonable. And he did think of Stolas as immortal since he almost is.
Yeah, and Blitzø did make a good point by saying “if my team and I were able to kick his ass that easily, I was sure you’d have no problem”. That’s fair. And ofc, Striker did have an angelic weapon, but I’m thinking Blitzø didn’t know the capabilities of that. Moxxie did. Because he’s the weapon’s expert. But I don’t think Blitzø did, since he keeps saying he didn’t know Stolas could get hurt. And M&M did volunteer to go. And he did tell Stolas he couldn’t come (and Stolas said he understood, right before being cut off by Striker) so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to Stolas later that episode when Blitzø didn’t come to save him. I think Striker’s words abt Blitzø not coming did just get to Stolas. And Blitzø’s mistake there was not visiting him in the hospital.
Dont forget that Stolas was the one who STARTED THE TRANSACTIONAL SEX IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! And that, if Blitz refused, would mean he'd most likely be out of a job and homeless. Stolas put Blitz in a position of duress. Whether he sees it or not, that's what happened.
@@norsehorse84 just to add onto that he was literally watching him get shot at by Martha and then proposed that deal and blitzø probably wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying.
See the thing I notice as a fellow abuse survivor is that whenever blitz yells at stolas he becomes visibly uncomfortable. He's not just pissed, he's scared bc blitz is screaming at him like his ex wife did. I personally have a trauma response any time someone treats me in a similar vein to the way my abuser treated me. When blitz shouts in his face he is visibly upset not just bc he's shouting but bc it's EXACTLY how stella would act. Makes me want to slap some sense into blitz
I really like Verosika calling Stolas with endearment
Hey Weeby, I recommend playing a game called “World ends club” it’s a 3d (in 2d perspective) visual novel made by the creators of Dangaronpa. Without spoiling anything, here’s a very basic summary: the game is about a bunch of kids ending up in a mysterious underwater theme park where the only means of escape is murder, what mysteries lie beyond? who’s the mastermind? who lives? who dies? find out in: WORLD ENDS CLUB! (This game is too underrated it’s amazing)
Hard agree. I cried at the ending, and I haven't cried at a video game since Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky. Absolutely recommend it, even if the gameplay isn't memorable.
She made a video about it when it was like first announced but I don't think she'll play it tho
As another said once. "It starts with sorry"
I forgot that she doesn’t realize that stolas is more at fault because it is her favorite birdy boy
After a few re-watches I noticed that the Incubus guy (who asked Stolas to dance) was wearing a shirt titled "Better than Blitzø".
Was Vivian trying to hint us something?...
It’s interesting that Blitz didn’t send all these messages till after they split. When together he sent single word messages
I mean Stolas was very wishy washy in his messages and giving Blitz a lot of mixed signals with giving suggestions to come with a lot of but you don’t have to etc. in them. Blitz still saw him as unattainable Prince then.
Now he kinda knows Stolas has feelings for him and that he hurt his feelings so he is sending memes as a way to reach out and get back on the same page again. It’s misguided of course because it’s just classic avoidance instead of talking out their issues but he was trying in his messed up way 😅.
someone said to make a helluva boss short based on how martha and mayberry became enemies to lovers and im so here for it lol
Tex is actually Verosika's bodyguard. His girlfriend is Bee.
You could probably say that he's either chiming in with Verosika, or he remembers Blitz from Bee's party.
Glad Blitz understood what he did and how he hurt not just Stolas, Verosikca and the rest of the exes
can't wait for theme to get together? Gotta wait for one speiific episode, if you've seen the season 2 trailer for the latter half, you know what short clip we saw, you'll know the one, probably in the Christmas episode for theming, just a little food for thought
I love tex's contribution to the song we haven't seen him since queen bee.fizz quickly forgave blitz because it was an accident and mammon's interference
2:06 I saw a comment or vid recently that was like - they figured after last night these two should be past this point
6:15 esp this part
10:30 what about that apology after Ozzie's
32:25 and someone said it works so well because he's incognito, which means he's unable to lash out defensively, which means he _has_ to fully listen
