I like that Verosika hosted these parties not to shame any of Blitzø's exes, but to reassure them that they're not alone in what they're going through. She was so nice to Stolas the entire night. Also was sweet how actually she trying to help Blitzø see the he absolutely belongs at the "I Hate Blitzø" party.

[@sqxbarto9229]

On the other hand, it's a bit pathetic, that people still hang up on Blitz, who probably was with them for a short time, Dennis wasn't even on a one-night stand with him, just they fooled around for like an hour or less... Also, cartoon logic people gather together to hate on Blitzo and no one recognizes him, even when he is uncovered and shouts at the crowd... (granted most of them are probably too drunk or high to function...)

Also: At 27:46 Blitz wanted to comfort Stolas by touching him, but then in the background of the song came the line "Don't touch that pretty thing" Most likely intentional, but it makes the scene even more emotional

[@Nitrinoxus]

It was honestly the right call for Blitzø to make, too. People often get this wrong, but _physical reassurance doesn't always help_ -- if someone isn't in the right headspace for it, having someone touch them without consent (even something as simple as a pat on the back) can make things _worse,_ and Stolas was _definitely_ in that space. He didn't _want_ Blitzø to console him, he just wanted him to _leave,_ to respect his need for space that he laid down that morning -- on some level, I think Blitzø realized that, and waited quietly while Stolas composed himself again.

Blitzø finally sees what his self destructive tendencies and behavior has done and realizes people DID love him but he shut them out before it got serious. Verosika definitely cares about Blitz and hopes he can change. Also, Stolas singing a rock ballad is something that wasn't on my apology tour bingo, but I love it!

[@LostGeburah]

​@@LostGeburahthats the problem with blitz Him crying there was just him hating himself Wich is the biggest reason of why he hurts everyone around him He keeps saying he will die alone and he fucks up while not understanding that it isn't true and all he needs to do is to actually change Stop making it about.him basically

[@PlaguedDarkness]

@@LostGeburah also, it's not like this is the end of the series, there is obviously a lot of growth and issues they still need to work through, which can still be done, this seems to be just the start of them realizing all the issues, and starting to repair those problems. both of them have trauma that they need to work through first.

[@ЯрославИванов-м7ц]

I like the fact that Verosika really wants to help Blitzø to change or to realize his mistakes, truly one of the best episodes of the season.

[@GlitchyHalo]

Yeah she could’ve kicked him out or let everyone shit on him but no it’s like stolas says you need people that care about you to do something as stupid as throw a party all about hating you

[@Skybound-wd4pm]

I love that verosika gave blitz the heart, because the cake was him, it's his heart, the one part of himself he'd never let anyone else have

[@HanyaPanya444]

she's also telling him to "eat his heart out"

[@EzraReay]

The thing that gets me the most is how many people are GENUINELY heartbroken about blitz at the party. Yeah you see a good amount of "we had a one night stand the bitch" but you also see a whole lot of people who look at so much of a picture of blitz and start to break down. The throwing knife guy, the girl sitting on the stairs, crying and drinking. Verosika herself. Blitz could very well be the best partner you could ever ask for if he didn't hate himself and ditch everyone.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Alright, here we go again: - The first scene was a roller coaster in itself, as much a mix of steps forward and back as everything else in this episode. Both Blitzø and Stolas did _so_ much better at communicating with one another, and at correcting their own failings in the process -- Stolas was able to express his feelings clearly and stand up for his own boundaries, and even though it took a lot of pushing, Blitzø _actually _*_admitted_*_ to his self-loathing_ and copped to the fact that he's no good at talking things out... but then they both kept falling back into their self-defensive bad habits, Blitzø pushing when he should've backed off and Stolas backing off when he should've pushed, and things boomeranged _right_ back to where they started. It's true what they say: hurt people hurt people. - The reveal of Martha and Miss Mayberry was thoroughly unexpected, but a welcome surprise. It might be risky to make paying a visit to IMP's targets a regular fixture of the after-mission routine, but hey, it could be a nice touch if they try it. - Blitzø's repeated attempts to try to find the words to express how sorry he was to Stolas illustrate as clearly as anything how much Blitzø actually _does_ regret what he said and did. It's been discussed before that he's self-taught when it comes to writing, so drafting up apology texts is likely a challenge for him -- but he doesn't go through that kind of hassle for people who aren't worth it to him, and he clearly felt like he needed to do _more_ than just _write_ an apology. Blitzø's going to more trouble to make amends with Stolas than he's done for just about anyone else. - As much as Stolas _really_ doesn't want to be around Blitzø for the time being (and understandably so, honestly), it's pretty clear from his visible discomfort at the overt animosity aimed at Blitzø at the party that _he doesn't _*_hate_*_ Blitzø._ He's _hurt,_ and he wants _space_ and the time to _heal,_ but it's not hard to see that he's still willing to let Blitzø _earn_ another chance. - The costumes and decor at the party are chock-full of jokes and references. I have to give points for the Alex Brightman-inspired Beetlejuice costume, that was an excellent touch. - Blitzø has probably _never_ had as clear a demonstration of how badly he's broken someone's heart as he got by being in the audience for Stolas's song. Stolas was absolutely speaking from the heart, broken as it is, sharing his feelings in a way that he's likely never been able to before -- keeping his eyes closed to keep his anxiety at bay, he was able to help Blitzø see clearly what he really meant to Stolas... and just how _severely_ his actions have messed up Stolas's headspace in a cycle of 'what-ifs' and self-blame. For the first time, Blitzø realized how much he'd fucked up, and it _hurt him._ - The liquor-soaked talk between Blitzø and Stolas was *_exactly_* the talk they _needed_ to have the other night, and while it _sucks_ that it's literally a day late and a dollar short, the fact that it was said is a *_major_* first step in both of their journeys to healing. And honestly, Blitzø made some _really good choices:_ he allowed Stolas space, let him take the high ground in the conversation, let him speak without interruption, recognized that Stolas was likely _not_ in the right space for physical contact when he was breaking down (which is *_HUGE,_* and something _so_ many people get wrong!), and when there wasn't anything left to say in the moment, _he let Stolas go._ He's _genuinely improved,_ even if he doesn't _realize_ it yet. - Blitzø's talk with Verosika was the best way to cap off this episode. The party being a form of group therapy, Blitzø's admission that he _realizes_ he's screwed up, is _genuinely_ sorry for it and _wants_ to be better, Verosika giving him unironically good relationship advice despite everything he's put her through before heading off to start a song about how, even if she's not over what happened between them, she's gotten over _him..._ as bittersweet as the ending was, it's a perfect denouement.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Had the bulk of these notes written out while I watched the original episode, and compiled and transcribed them while listening to Airier's reactions. Given how much the comments sections on Viv's videos get _buried_ in toxic bot accounts for the first week or so after every new episode drops, it's generally a better idea to spread the discussion around so that people don't have to scroll past noxious garbage to talk about their thoughts.

[@sto1asgoetia600]

There’s also the clear jealously blitzo had seeing stolas make out with someone else, bringing up the hidden feelings blitzo truely has for stolas but kept lying to himself that he doesn’t have a thing for him, it’s just this it’s just that. Well guess what, it’s not, you have actual feelings for Stolas.

[@Nitrinoxus]

@sto1asgoetia600 Precisely. He's instinctively protective of his relationship with Stolas, but until now, he's always been able to explain it away as just trying to protect his meal ticket -- but ever since the last full moon, that's no longer a factor, so he's going to have to think about why he's still so driven to stay with Stolas.

[@gokbay3057]

@@Nitrinoxus Oh yeah, Viv's comment sections are atrocious with bots. The downsides of being popular I guess.

[@saralovelace7219]

Flawless breakdown of the episode, no notes. XD Well, no disagreements, anyway. I love how BOTH the conversations they had were already showing improvement over what happened the night before. Even though the first one was *heavy* on the sarcasm and sass, they both managed to say things that needed to be said. I honestly REALLY hope we return to the plot point of "you knew the assassin who almost killed me was *trying* to kill me, and you didn't *tell* me OR come to *help* me?" Because OH BOY that was a solid hit that even Blitz realized he fucked up on. And the party!!! You're exactly right that Stolas is *really* uncomfortable at the animosity and hate he sees, because he could never. He's hurt, he's heartbroken and...I'm so glad he went to the party because it was actually one of the best things he could have done, healing-wise. And I really hope Blitz noticed that *nobody* there, despite it being mostly imps, treated Stolas with reverence, deference, or even particularly took notice of him *despite* the VERY OBVIOUS Goetia in their midst. Nor did Stolas seem to expect it from them. The one who is hung up on class is *Blitz*. The ones who did react to Stolas reacted to him as being a fellow victim of heartbreak, or to his *singing* (valid. GDI Bryce is there any genre you can't sing?), or because they are interested in him. Which is why I am so very proud of Blitz for letting Stolas go to dance with that incubus/imp. He sees Stolas look to him for permission; he knows that if he had said no, he likely could have kept Stolas by his side. However... Stolas had *just* talked about wanting someone to want to be with him just to be with him. Wanting a romantic gesture...such as being asked to dance after being told he has a beautiful voice. And Blitz chose to let him have that. That's *huge*. And I'm not actually worried that Stolas won't remember their conversation in the morning... he remembered the events of Ozzie's clearly, and from his state the next morning and the absinthe bottles scattered around, he was likely much more than the wine-drunk he was in this convo. At least, I really hope they won't pull that card; I feel like we're beyond that. Verosika is a Queen as always. Honestly, best end to the episode there could have been, if we weren't going to get a resolution yet. Because she wasn't going to hold back with him, but we already know he *knows* he fucked up with her. He was in the *perfect* emotional place for her to get through to him. And she was the perfect one to tell him that if he wants to change, he can't keep expecting Stolas to be his when he wants, but then hurt him other times. The cake being the literal embodiment of "eat your heart out" is just... oof. This episode hasn't destroyed my hopes for these two... although I do wonder where it goes from *here*.

Counterpoint, the last time Stolas interacted with him, Blitzø was taken as a body guard to Loo Loo Land, and he was entirely unnecessary because no one there could hurt Stolas.

This episode had so much to talk about, but I'm also just a sucker for demon behaviour and body language. Shows that have characters with animalistic traits so often don't actually _utilize_ these traits and helluva boss does and I'm so happy. What brough this on? Well, Blitzø's tail violently lashing behind him, a clear indication of his anger (7:48 shows it very prominently, but the entire interaction it barely stood still). That is one I almost never see, because tails often get treated as an accessory that sometimes moves, rather than another limb (which is how imps clearly use them. Grabbing stuff, showing emotion in various ways, holding onto things, fight with them, wind them around themselves for protection. And at this point it has become probably obvious i think way too much about this). Also Stolas' head turning a full 180° like an actual owl, like you mentioned (or things like his feathers fluffing at 2:24 . And of course the various bird noises). And it's built in so naturally! There isnt really any attention drawn to it as unusual, because it's normal for Stolas. (Also I'm pretty sure 5:46 was a small growl from Blitzø, which just quickly dies out the moment Stolas turns to him-) I don't think I'm making sense here. I'm still reeling from the episode. Sorry for screaming incoherently in the comments rn, I just have too many thoughts and not enough sleep. Edit: my timestamps all got massively messed up? By exactly 1min and 24sec. Idk what happened

Honestly, the two of them are too damaged for each other as is. They need to be apart, work through their own traumas and demons. If stolitz is to ever work, they really need to both grow a bit before even attempting to reconvene, cause both were in the wrong with how they handled their whole interaction.

I will say I think Stolas just mentally checked out. So she could be doing whatever she wanted and he wouldn't have noticed. When you are being abused all the time, you just live on autoplay

[@anash11000]

Yeah but if you recall that scene came after the attempt. He probably just assumed it was a recent hit put out just then. Also probably combined with @DragSmash-Games reply of could have checked out. He probably blocked out the first part implying it already happened and is getting a contract set to make it happen. Or, maybe he connected it with the tons of imps who tried to kill him in Loo Loo Land. Who could say for sure and also agreed he should have told Stolas after the attempt to at least get him aware of the danger. Cause if Stolas died his meal ticket would be gone and that excuse wouldn't work. Since his deal was with Stolas and I doubt Octavia would let him use it and she would need it back for her duties as a Goetia.

[@Goikuchan]

He was tuning Stella out and pretty immersed in a smutty novel titled 'imps in the sheets. Stolas wasn't paying attention because his mind was completely elsewhere.

[@magne7771]

Don't forget, that Looloo land was nothing but Blitz swatting flies off Stolas- except they were other imps, just like Blitz. He's also kind of... dense? There's a good chance he doesn't even KNOW about angelic guns and such. So, as far as he's concerned, he and his entire race are GNATS to Stolas. Would you warn a horse there are flies buzzing around its' tail? No. You'd let it swat them and go about its day without a second thought.

[@anash11000]

@@magne7771 I doubt he didn't know about angelic weapons with the whole extermination every year. Especially if Lucifer did ok the whole thing to get immunity for his family. I don't remember if that goes for all the royalty of hell. Regardless if they have immunity or not with that deal the princes and especially the goetias would know if the big honcho of hell is afraid of losing his family to the angels cause of their angelic weapons they should all know and worry about said weapons. Since they would know it can actually cause damage. I mean stolas when grabbed by Striker he mentioned it was blessed and he couldn't do anything so he had knowledge. I think more likely he assumed imps couldn't ever get enough money to afford one. Since they are rare and probably expensive in hell. If I remember mostly royals have them or overlords not many imps do if any. So you are right about swatting them like flies without a care cause he wouldn't suspect a random imp from wrath would be able to get ahold of one. Only realizing the dangers and seriousness of it when he was captured by striker and been tortured. Edit: My bad thought you meant Stolas didn't know. I misread that my bad sorry. But Blitzø should also have known about angelic weapons being able to kill demons since it is a big event in hell. Unless he assumes the exterminators don't go after the royals just because it is only sinners they want.

It feels like Verosika saw something in that talk with blitz that she needed to see for a long damned time. She's still hurt.

I actually found this episode more painful than the last...I mean, the last one was expected, both Stolas and Blitzø acted as we knew/feared. This one had Blitzø actually trying heroically to fix things (in this totally inept and self-destructive way), only to have a drunk Stolas throw himself at the first guy that glanced his way. It was painfully realistic...and not the outcome I was rooting for.

Yup. I agree completely. And even if it's too late for him and Stolas (although I'm not betting on that), it's probably the most important step to take (because otherwise he'll just keep doing the same thing over again).

[@Nitrinoxus]

​@Airier This definitely feels like _some_ kind of ending, but sometimes endings lead to beginnings. Ending their original relationship frees them both to start a _new_ relationship from scratch, if they both decide that's what they want to do -- but for now, sad as it is, them taking a break from each other, maybe seeing other people and focusing on other things... it's honestly the healthiest thing for them to do.

[@Nitrinoxus]

@@GlitchyHalo Complicating matters, besides the _obvious,_ is that Blitzø's work-life balance is, to use the _technical_ term, *_fucked._* When he's not keeping busy with his job, he seems to spend most of his time either getting hammered, shacking up with another one-night stand, or curled up in bed on the sofa -- now that we've gotten a good look at the long line of people he's dumped, it's unsettling to realize just how _small_ his social circle actually _is._ Barring the people who _have_ to be around him for work or because they share an apartment with him, Blitzø only really has _two_ people he hangs out with regularly, and _one_ of them wants to take a break from being around him for the foreseeable. I'm hoping one of the _Helluva Shorts_ has Blitzø meeting up with Fizz, because right now, he's the only friend Blitzø _has._

[@XGrandireX]

@@Nitrinoxus Yeah, people were saying that Stolas doesn't have nearly as many people to confide with that Blitzø has, but to be honest NEITHER really has a social circle in place to support them. Both of them really need to grow and branch out, or else even if they did get together it'd get codependent very fast. Here's hoping Blitzø redefines his friendship with Millie as more than a just a workplace one in Ghostfuckers, and hoping that Stolas finds a close friend in Vassago in either Mastermind or Sinsmas.

i think something to notice is how verosika, to me, understood that blitz belonged to that party, as he's hating himself too, and that his apology was sincere

[@angelsinthewindow]

I don't think he backpetalled in the beginning when he actually finally said what is actually going on because he hates himself, I think he backpetalled to protect himself. Because I think every time he tries to be venerable, he gets hurt. You can sort of see it with his father and he probably grew up seeing it. His anger is his way of protecting himself even if it hurts everyone else around him. He does hate himself, but I also think he is scared to let anyone close to see his true self. Cause what we just saw at the end was that he opens himself up and gets hurt.

I think Blitz and Stolas will end up together, i think what the show is setting up is them both becoming good enough for each other by allowing Stolas to become a fully realized person since he's very much so like a kid in love, and it's making Blitzo realize that he does like Stolas and that if he wants to be with him, he needs to love himself so he doesn't lash out and hurt Stolas again.

[@damientaylor8279]

Verosika approved blitz with a head nod after the cake heart

[@GrahamChapman]

This Pride Month just continues being a heart-wrencher, doesn't it? Also, that thing you said at the end, about how it's not "good or bad people, it's just broken people doing broken things because they can't understand not being broken": Verosika's annual "Blitzo's exes anonymous" parties is, in itself, a great example of this. She's trying to help broken people get over the hurt that another broken person subjected them all to but, as she is a broken person herself, the method she's going with also ends up being broken, feeding into the catharsis of anger and hatred, tearing up old wounds rather than letting them heal. So while Blitz walks around and constantly reminds himself (as in, _literally_ surrounds himself with physical reminders) that he's not worthy of being loved, Verosika walks around and constantly reminds herself (you noted the tattoo) how much he hurt her the moment she admitted to him that she actually considered him worth loving... I'm looking forward to seeing how their story arc will evolve...

Verosika giving him the cake was an actual metaphor of her giving him her bleeding heart and him leaving it.

It's also a slice of a cake that's shaped like Blitzø. So Verosika also gave him back his own heart, the one part of him he's avoided giving to anyone else -- and, since it's cake, it's a visual pun of "eat your heart out".

One thing I noticed is that Stolas said he wants to know the feeling of not being alone, and to feel loved. But nothing about Blitzø, not his personality or any of his qualities, he doesn't state that he wants to be loved BY HIM, or to not be alone WITH HIM. In his statement, he doesn't want Blitzø, he wants a relationship. And if anyone person were to give that to him.. then he might just go for the first person who does.

Stolas still needs to take a step back and recognize that even though he doesn't look down on Blitzø, a lot of his remarks in the past sure as hell make it _look_ like he does (his teasing and flirting in "LooLoo Land", calling him "my impish little plaything" in "Truth Seekers", most of his dialogue concerning Blitzø in "The Harvest Moon Festival", pretty much every discussion they had involving their deal back in Season 1...).

10:35 blitz aint in the right and i wont defend his actions, but the "everyone but you" hit so hard for me. people are on stolas's side but stolas had one big chance to show he really did care at ozzies but he dipped out on the responsibility on the most important part, you can see blitz break here and he even told stolas in that episode. this isnt a one sided fck up, stolas actively ignored any problems or explains em away in texts. he aint innocent.

[@Airier]

Yup both of them screwed up, multiple times. Although I'm definitely on the lighter side when judging them. They're both really screwed up by their pasts, and it makes it almost predictable how they'd handle these situations badly. Although, the only way for them to really move forward is both to own up to what they did and probably confront what made them the way they are (and considering Stolas' soon to be ex already hired a hit man... Might be the odd situation where Blitzø has the less murderous backstory to work through).

[@thevoidismyhome7242]

Honestly, I've thought since Ozzies, since S2 E1, that Stolitz might not be the endgame ship for the two of them. Blitz needs to work on himself, a lot. And Stolas needs someone who is a clean slate, so to speak. Between Stella and Blitz, every relationship he's had is transactional, the other person getting something from him, or needing something from him, or just straight up abusing him. Stolas needs someone who is, for lack of a better word, less serious, less emotions involved. But not necessarily opposed to the romance. Stolas needs a relationship that can teach him how to unwind his self-destructive tendencies, because the tendencies he have have nothing to do with Stolas personally (he's able to be honest with himself and his emotions, able to sit in them and think and explore and confront), but rather how he interacts with others. Knowing when is the right time to push and when is right to back off, when is right to give space and when is right to give comfort. He needs to improve in communicating with others, with letting others have the time they need to process and communicate in return, and that can only happen in interacting. But Stolas doesn't have friends, and he doesn't talk to family, and he is pretty much alone in his manor. Like, hell, even Blitz has more consistent and constant communication with people, and Blitz avoids the shit out of talking. The "Blitz Sucks" party might actually give Stolas friends and people who are like him, to consistently train up the ability to communicate with people. Especially because prior to this, any friends Stolas had were the Royals and the Elites. And High Society is all double-speak and hidden knives under sweet facades. Stolas needs to learn communication, healthy communication. And Blitz needs to get his head out of his head and learn to not doubt and catastrophize and run when the feelings get big.

[@thevoidismyhome7242]

Also, I do like that Helluva Boss is challenging the idea that everyone in hell is shitty, via the use of the native born demons. The sinners might be shitty, having come to hell from earth (though Hazbin Hotel was pointing out that that might be more complicated), but the native born demons are raised there, and as we see all over the place, through Fizz + Ozzie, through Millie's family, that hell doesn't have to be shitty and hellish. That healthy and happy are just as likely as abusive and disastrous. Hell =/= Shitty, and Blitz is using Hell as an excuse to avoid having to change.

[@sandracarnegie2871]

it is endgame, vivzie confirmed it

[@karlafm24]

Yes I do think Stolas will freak out if anything does happen between him and the hunky imp. That face Blitz make when he sees Stolas smiling and happy and it wasn't because of him. I really hope Blitz doesn't give up. Because the conversation they had was cut short by hunky imp.

[@jemmeline9135]

There is a theory that Blitz's mother was a succubus or half succubus, which is why he is so attractive to many because he is a hybrid himself. it’s even kind of fleeting in the series with the striker. That’s why Verosika couldn’t resist him. but the only discrepancy is the stolas. Yes, he kissed the demon of lust at a party. but he was drunk. and I don't think the succubi's charm could work on the demon prince.

[@jemmeline9135]

but I think this theory may be true. succubi are tall and blitz is taller than many of his relatives, he attracts many (me too😅). and his mother in the photo seemed very tall, and her horns also looked like the horns of demons of lust. so why not. This suits blitz.

[@jemmeline9135]

Or the fact that Stolas says he has never looked down on Blitz, but in the past has referred to him as itty bitty or as his impish plaything. That's not the mention all the times he has behaved sexually towards Blitzo that has on multiple occasions made him uncomfortable or frustrated. It's really only until Ozzie's where Stolas just *has* feelings for him then and there. Stolas has always had full control of their arrangement and has had a major hand in conditioning how and what Blitzo thinks of him. I feel like this episode is trying to glamorize Stolas as just some poor, lovestruck bird who's been unjustly hurt.. but honestly he's just at fault as Blitzo is.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

The only problem i have with this episode is the show has decided it wants to choose when to look at Stola’s faults compared to Blitz’s In the first several episodes of season 1 stoles is the one who is inappropriately flirting and playing dirty with Blitz in public, refers to him being a little iddy biddy imp who a grimoire is not meant for and being kind of lustful and condescending to blitz in the first season episodes If you remember the harvest festival episode that introduces us to Striker, Stolas openly is being publicly thirsty for Bltiz and Blitz is not having it it’s not till Episode 7 and 9 that Stolas seems to change his approach to Bltiz and starts being less of a thirst trap and more of a sweetheart. but now the show wants to pretend like Stolas never did that (he grew better over the season to now, but still) and that Stolas is innocent and only Blitz has blame Blitz definitely needs to be called out on the fact his self hatred destroys himself and everyone around him. from his family and friends to his love life, and that is important I get that, but Stolas has had some faults, and yet this episode seems to stand as a reinforcement that No stolas has no blame at all, and it’s only Blitz at fault. and I have an issue with that, Stolas is not totally innocent, his approach to dealing with blitz was well intentioned, but it wasn’t done in a way that would allow Bltiz to see it as something other than a controlling move, The show seems to state, they both have flaws and have done things wrong, but then only focusses on Blitz while trying to then present stolas as being perfect.
