" Which son is this one? There's so @&$# many." Is pretty accurate cuz apparantly there are 72 Ars Goatia demon rulers. So Stolas' dad was busy.

[@CJCroen1393]

He probably has a lot of wives.

[@isaliscalispal3900]

Which partly explains why he’s not a good father, I give him that

[@Ultimusvivi]

So why in the hell does stolas need to birth a precautionary heir if there's 72 others???

[@CJCroen1393]

@Adam Luna Honestly yeah that is weird. Maybe they should have made it so that they were marrying him off to Stella to forge an alliance with her family (basically how most actual arranged marriages work)

I said it in the initial upload but I shall reiterate: Blitzø has been trained from youth to be a hustler. His father taught him that he needs to screw others over to get what he wants out of life. First it was stealing from the Goetia palace in this episode, then it was dating Verosika to get access to her Asmodean Crystal to get to the surface, and then it was satisfying Stolas in order to do the same thing after Verosika stopped dating him. I hope if Stolas makes him a crystal like everyone is theorizing, he'll finally see how much they really mean to each other and rekindle their relationship with a slightly better mindset.

[@kylemorgan2301]

It hasn't been confirmed in any way that Verosika had or has an Asmodean Crystal. It's allegedly often paired with jewelry, but we haven't seen any sign of Verosika actually WEARING jewelry.

[@marquis911]

@@kylemorgan2301 She's a succubus. All succubi need the crystals to access the surface. It may not be jewelery but she still has to have one.

[@aspen1889]

I don't think Blitzo dated Verosika for the crystal. She definitely has one but the rest of I.M.P. including Loona dont know about their relationship and presumably Blitz didnt even run the business himself back then. Their relationship seemed to genuinely be one of just toxic love

[@kylemorgan2301]

@@aspen1889 I'm not entirely sure it was toxic, but by the very end of it, it was at MINIMUM highly self-destructive on at least Blitzo's end.

[@Rogue_Rouge]

@@kylemorgan2301 In Episode 3, Verosika makes it to the surface along with her friends... It's likely she had a crystal to travel up there

I just realized since Stolas is 36 and Octavia is 17, if you do the math, Stolas was 19 when Octavia was born…

[@Kuromi._.-]

😮 OMG

[@MACNCHEEZ]

Another thing is Stolas was engaged at like five so it's kind of normal for him to do really weird things for his young age

[@Sharky857]

I remember someone over Reddit translated those two pages about the Asmodean Crystals; they are given to succubi so that they can come and go freely between Hell and the Living World. It was then speculated that Stolas may be intended to give those crystals to Blitz & Co. so that they can come and go as well, without needing the Grimoire anymore (also and possibly implying that he's now intended to break up with Blitz for good). As for one of the bits you cut from the final editing, specifically the scene where Blitz keeps accidentally popping a balloon after another before making the "worm horse": another YTer speculated that, comical effect aside, it might've been some kind of metaphor/clue about Blitz tendency to destroy something (like a relationship, as openly hinted in the season finale). I can't remember who speculated that nor many other details about that, but the "destroying relationships" part did stick to my brain.

[@Grace-q5n]

I know it's been a year since you commented this but another theory I liked is where the green balloon or "worm horse" is representative of Fizz and the red balloon a representation of Blitzø I can't remember all the details and you might want to look it up but I still find it interesting.

[@Sharky857]

@@Grace-q5nOh yeah! I remember some people speculating that "Worm Horse" was like a foreshadowing to what would happen to Fizz later on (i.e. losing all his limbs).

[@EslocoSoldado]

UPDATE ON EPISODE 8 OF SEASON 1! The last episode of season 1 is done. They can’t release do to legal reasons. Most likely a song that was used in the finale that they originally had permission to use was revoked last second. Now you may ask why not switch the song. Well one simple reason. That would require the animators to go back and edit every frame in which said characters are mouthing the lyrics to the song. That is months worth of work they would have to redo.

[@theirishviking9278]

not only that another song requires retiming with everything in the frame not just the mouth

[@electrobob992]

I personally think it was a loona cover of die young, since the announcement of it being delayed occurred at the same time her original animated music video of the song got unlisted.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Which is too bad since normally Vivzie is really good at getting artists who use their own songs and or friends who have their own music for her to work with, to avoid that stuff.

"She calmed down over the years." Been catching up on your reactions to the series (backwards) and that knee-jerk take is something I was not ready for. Your content is extremely spot on.

[@sheaffer117]

Yeah we see how bad his dad is, what makes his realize how much of a loving father he actually is in the 25 years later all the pictures on the wall so I'm miserable until his daughter appears in them and when he opens her door in the morning to look in on her he smiles. Until he remeets blitz ,she's the only thing that brings him any happiness. She's the only thing that's actually truly important to him.

[@FloofersFX]

10:09 I believe in animation they call these smears and they actually happen a fair amount, making characters look a bit off in the moment if you pause, but usually we don't notice that and it just enhances some of the actions/saves some frames and whatnot.

[@a_cynical_mad_man_vods]

Welcome to how to write a season 2, full on subversion of expectation and changeling of perception.

[@ShadowStorm78]

Sam and max is who you're thinking of. Also, I am hoping blitz can redeem himself, especially since I don't like seeing stolas upset. Stolas needs hugs and so much love, also young stolas is so awesome. I do love how it does tie back into the pilot episode I wasn't expecting it

[@ShadowStorm78]

What I mean by that is in the pilot episode we see blitzo leaving with the book falling onto the table and saying "sorry I ****ed your husband" and this time we see it from stolas' perspective.

[@aspen1889]

I mean theres an argument to make about Blitz not really needing to redeem himself. They both hurt eachother constantly and this episode is Stolas reflecting on that and choosing to break the cycle. Its not that Stolas needs to forgive Blitz, its that Blitz needs to forgive himself so he can see beyond his own self hatred

[@MasterSorez]

Just so you know, Blitz isnt painting his face, the white marks on imps are skin imperfections, namely birthmarks or in Blitz's case, most likely scars. To me they look like burn scars as he has a LOT of them over his body

[@williamharmon4039]

I really love that moment where Stolas looks at those photos and realizes that he had been making Blitzo unhappy without ever realizing it. Because for all that Blitzo massively screwed up their relationship because of his own hang-ups and self-loathing it's still true that Stolas before the falling out after Ozzie's really didn't give Blitzo much reason to believe he saw him as more than a means for having sex based on how he acted around him. We as the audience saw the scenes of him being sad and lonely and pining for Blitzo when he's on his own, but all Blitzo himself likely saw when Stolas is in front of him was flirting when he was clearly annoyed by it and making excuses or deals to make Blitzo spend time with him and addressing him in a cutesy way that probably seemed demeaning to him given Stolas previously showed at least a little bit of ignorant dismissal of other imps even if it's not deliberate or malicious. And that's really not even Stolas's fault he's like that given what his childhood was like. That complete lack of emotional support and connection from his family and a lack of any proper friends aside from one imp he spent a day playing with must have left him horribly screwed up and undeveloped socially. So he really doesn't know how to recognize these problems in his relationships or quite process that Octavia or Blitzo might not be as happy with some things as he would be. The episodes with Octavia showed Stolas pushing her away without realizing it because he was just ignorant to her hurt feelings and felt assured everything was fine, and he's been doing the same thing with Blitzo too because Blitzo never saw that more vulnerable and lonely side of Stolas throughout season 1. It's really interesting to take a look at how their relationship was made unhealthy and unbalanced from both ends of the pair.

[@Braigwen]

The moment Stolas and Blitz met is likely the linchpin to everything in the story. Blitz having a strong desire to help his momma, (He still wears her choker. Check the picture in the last episode,) he went along with his dad's plan to clean Stolas out. We still haven't seen the fallout of that yet. Sure we see who Fizzeralli is now, but we don't know WHY. I think that has to do with the consequences for the theft Blitz was conned into. The price of an Imp stealing from an Ars Goetia was likely Fizzeralli's body. (The M symbols kid Blitz and Fizz were wearing is the symbol of Mammon, the Demon King of Greed, who owns Loo-Loo Land,) and Blitz very likely blames himself for all of it. This is probably where all of his self hatred and self destructive issues come from. Stolas probably knows nothing about any of this. Why would he? Also, imagine Stolas' feeling when he realizes that his first and only friendship was yet another arrangement by his father... Poor guy.

[@ThePoisonousTiger74]

I also have the feeling that Fizzaroli gave up his arms and legs to help out Blitz and his family (maybe something for his mom) and then either Blitz didn't appreciate it or it didn't work, so they both came to resent one another that way (and this sacrifice is the core of Fizz's constant resentment of Blitz later. Blitz's dating Verosika now makes sense: he needed access to her Asmodean Crystal to get to the surface; it will be interesting to see what happens if Stolas gives him some without any strings attached and how that might change their relationship

[@kennyalwaysdies1]

Nah I think blitz and fizz had a horrible accident during a circus act, which resulted in fizz losing his limbs and blitz leaving him to suffer while getting away

[@SusanaCanales1]

@@Patches_0001 he was absolutely using him by proposing the deal. He did think blitz wanted sex, but, also used the deal as a reason to have sex and because he thought Blitz liked him. Blitz neither confirmed nor denied wanting a relationship or more sex from him behind a one night stand. That was all Stolas. He never touched on the subject before. He’s always nsfw, yes, but that, in particular, isn’t Blitz’s fault. He’s been pretty clearly uncomfortable with his come ons 😂 True. Blitz wanted the book. But again, he never proposed the deal to get it. He already had the book in his possession and Stolas said nothing until that proposal because again, it gives blitz an excuse to come around and satisfies his need to have blitz around. I also don’t think Blitz would’ve approached him sexually had he other options and not gotten caught breaking into Stolas’ room.

[@SusanaCanales1]

@@Patches_0001 it’s not. Blitz did that behind closed doors. Not in public. And he never claimed to want more sex beyond that one time. Stolas can do that without the proposal that basically traps blitz into agreeing because his livelihood depends on that book and he didn’t have to bargain for sex. He could’ve done spending time with him, and if it led to sex, that’s one thing. But Stolas asked for sex specifically and then is surprised Blitz thinks that’s all Stolas wants from him? He wanted sex. And he wanted it specifically from blitz with no proof thats what blitz wanted. It doesn’t really matter why he said nothing. The fact is that he still said nothing and always treated Blitz like a toy, even if he never meant to. Blitz hit on Stolas once and that was the end of it on his part. Stolas, on the other hand, continued it, despite Blitz’s indifference and annoyance. It’s a wonder how he just noticed Blitz always looked irritated in the photos stolas took of him.

[@CJCroen1393]

It also explains why they’re both trying so hard to be good dads themselves-they are, unconsciously or otherwise, are breaking the cycle of abuse. Stolas, unlike Paimon, was genuinely trying to console Octavia when he took her to Loo Loo Land as opposed to just wanting her to stop complaining. Blitzø, unlike Cash, actually cares about Loona’s well-being to the point of being overprotective. They aren’t perfect fathers, but they’re undoubtedly doing a better job than either of their own dads.

[@chaoticquartet2649]

Im just realising that worm horse and banana pudding the balloon horses are direct parallels to blitzø and fizz. Wormhorse is a green legless horse, fizz is a limbless imp who is commonly represented by green. Banana pudding is red and intact, like blitzø. And the "war" would be the whole burning down and explosion and shit.

Paimon: I gave him a palace of sorts, a wide collection of tomes, most are important for him but there is a chance some I gave to him just so he wouldn't be all sad and crying. honestly, I am a monarch so I have many responsibilities and that makes life stressful enough... I don't hate him, but I also don't want to be bothered by everything he might want. Stella: I mock him as often as I want, taunt him as much as I want, assault him as much as I want, I cheat on him as often as I want, I do as I please regardless of who I hurt, even if I put a wedge between Stowlas and Octavia, and I don't care about his well being. he dies, I thrive on the inheritance and never need to deal with him again, its a win-win for me.

I would argue that Paimon is not as bad as Stella Stella is emotionally and physically distant and abusive, but Paimon was emotionally distant and estranged, not really caring about his son other than how he would and or could be used as a tool for their families power.

Why did He skip some parts of the Video ! 😞

[@Airier]

I made a joke KZbin age restricted in the first upload of the video.

[@Pixel.Editzz.]

​@@Airier Oh Okay Thank you ❤

[@godsstrength1]

Didn't you already post this video?

[@notme3603]

How dare you interrupt the singing Unforgivable

[@hoodrat1178]

Did this video already happen

[@Observer-O]

Yeah

[@Airier]

Yeah, I had to re-upload it without some of my earlier commentary. I initially thought the arrangement between pymon and blitzo's dad was a little more dark than it turned out to be. KZbin did not like the conclusion I came to. 😅

[@hoodrat1178]

Okay I thought I was just having serious case of deja vu

[@zefftrus9825]

Stolas daughter should date Luna they have a lot in common they're both pretty much Gothic they look pretty cute together too healthy boys have the pretty much the same dad even and if they have a kid it would be cute plus it look like they really like each other they have the same preferences the same attitude they'd be a perfect match

[@Darlf_Sevil]

Hell born age like humans but live linger and it look like this longer part go to they best time not old or ynge age. Except Charil she is porobad imortal and end up bes the strongest innthis universe except god

waffle

[@Airier]

Belgian or English?

[@Everything_Olivia]

Bro why dose this dude ceep skipping good parts?!??!!

[@Sellswordking]

the sudden terrible realization that Stolas wasn’t just mimicking his father by taking Via to LooLoo Land; he met the love of his life when he was sad at the circus. maybe she could too.

[@KarmaLostAnArm]

I don't think he would be thinking she'd find her blitz, I like thinking it was more him mimicking his father's behavior because he thought it would make her happier and they'd have some bonding time

[@manosbouzoubouzou1386]

So what was the reason for the reupload? If anyone knows,please tell me.

[@ethyn]

He had to reupload it and cut out some stuff because KZbin did not like it.

[@Lantern_Light]

The child voice actors did a good job here.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Richard Horivitz (VA for Moxxie and the Voice director for the series) said that in the season 2 watch party that the kid actors had the cutest of voices.

[@justyouraveragenerd5152]

Blitzø loving pirates also goes back to him always using a blunderbuss instead of more deadly/efficient guns

[@Himmyjewett]

doesnt he use a flintlock

[@justyouraveragenerd5152]

@@Himmyjewett a blunderbuss is a flintlock

[@Himmyjewett]

@@justyouraveragenerd5152 not really a type of flintlock but not the one blitz uses, he uses a pistol

[@zachbahamutson5477]

I always thought it was just that a person couldn't customize a Glock or more modern guns as much as a Flintlock pistol. I mean you've seen how blinged out that gun is? It's probably expensive enough to pay for his entire company for 3 years.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

He has a blunderbuss but also a smaller flintlock

[@amberestie6605]

"...she's calmed down over the years..." "...Oh God...he's TRYING..." Love your insight and comments. Didn't realize how much they reflected on first seasons

[@sylveonniee]

I feel like it was implied that Stella would hit Stolas. The way he flinches and starts backing away from Stella when she starts to push fingers in his face and back him closer to the wall, and how she looks shocked that he grabbed her arm as if it's something he normally wouldn't do. Not cannon but from the context clues given it is a possiblility

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Also there is a difference between Stolas and his dad As you see in the portraits of young Stolas’s life you see from birth to young boyhood he was always alone whereas later on we see as an adult Stolas has pictures of him and his daughter from a young age happy together While Stolas did try to reconnect or pacify his daughter by taking her to an amusement event, it was because he was trying to reconcile with her and that was there they always had the greatest connection whereas Paimon (Stolas’s dad) clearly admits he did it only to pacify his son's crying and to shut him up, he even rents Bltizo for a day simply cause he doesn’t want to deal with Stolas himself at all. Stolas sacrificed his happiness and his dreams to be with Stella, he’s not attracted to her and she is emotionally and physically abusive and distant, and he’s had to deny himself and take her abuse simply to make sure their daughter had a normal enough childhood that he never had That’s a level of self sacrifice Paimon never made for him and which is why he’s such a good character, he’s still la demon but he much like Moxxie does seem to have a moral center that hell has been unable to breed or whip out of him.

[@TheMoonshadowMysteryChannel]

Yeah Fizzorolli had cybernetic limbs, and they mass produced Robotic Fizzorolli duplicates for the theme parks (and for personal pleasure as hinted in Ozzie's place)... but yeah how did such a sweet imp turn into such a pyshotic jerk? BTW idk if it was intentional or not, but you skipped the entire sequence of them getting everything and throwing it out into the garden to Blitzo's dad. Also, Blitzo doesn't paint his face (except when trying to blend into the human world). The white markings on his face and body are actually supposed to be scars from an as of yet unknown cause. Also I love that they recreated the scene from the pilot episode with Blitzo falling off the balcony into her garden party. And how trippy that in season 1 we got someone who played Genie on stage for Aladdin Live playing Ozzie, and now we have the movie voice actor for Jafar voicing Stolas' father Peidmon and Blitzo's Father (while doing what feels almost like a toned down Gilbert Godfrey)?

[@xXxJason_ToddxXx]

Fun fact! Stolas didn’t say *hear*, he said *heal*. In the Ars Goetia, Stolas is described as a demon prince taking on the form of an owl and is associated with astrology, constellations, prophecies, as well as precious stones and the ability to use plants to poison and heal!

[@daniewings]

No, he actually did say 'hear', it's in the captions of the official episode

[@Bezaliel13]

Stolas: "Jokes on you, for I'm INTO it!"

[@VerchielxKanda]

There's two major problems to face if Stolas killed Stella. 1) Octavia would never forgive him for it. 2) He'd have the entirety of the Goetia family coming down on his head.

[@j.a.r.5974]

not really, shes not a goetia and they already made an heir. Her job in their eyes is done. Her brother is a goetia but she isn't so its likely he got the title through some way besides birth like stolas so in their eyes she doesn't really matter anymore.

[@Den69.420]

Goetia is a title only 72 demons have and stella isn't 1 of the 72 so even if he killed her the only problem would be Adrealphus (If he cared) and Octavia (Again if she cared😂)

[@professorbutters]

And also, simply, he wouldn’t do it, even though he knows one of the best assassins in Imp City. Stolas doesn’t want her dead; he wants her gone and out of his home. I think another reactor suggested he should move out, but it’s his palace.

[@wolfsangelsden]

talk about a dad "phoning in" being with their kid... (yes, dad joke time) Also, yep about right. Flirting with a crush for an Introvert "ah yes, I will flirt" The crush flirts back "Crap... what do I do now?!" Also Also I highly recommend if you haven't yet, look up Stolas and Asmodeus and some of the other demons of the Goetia "family tree" through the Lesser Keys of Solomon, will help explain their quirks. Like Stolas's thing for plants and crystals, as well as his job with Astrology/Astronomy.

[@gabmac101]

I love that they got the voice of Jafar from the original Aladdin for stolas's dad , amazing 👏

[@Nitrinoxus]

Not just the old animated version, either: Johnathan Freeman reprised his role as Jafar in the original Broadway cast, alongside James Monroe Iglehart (Asmodeus's VA) as the Genie and Don Darryl Rivera (Wally Wackford, among others) as Iago.

[@thecasualloser9715]

Little theory I have. So with the balloon horses, one was red, one was green. Red is the main color of Blitz white green is the main color of fizz. The green horse, the one that blitz made, had no legs. I think that may have been foreshadowing what ends up happening to fizz. As fizz thinks blood is gross. So I think that maybe there was a circus accident with blitz at fault that resulted in Fizz losing his limbs with lots of blood. Just a theory, but a very good matching one.

[@CyberBlastoise]

I honestly believe Stolas is like Urkel in Family Matters, started off as a one-off joke and is now just part of the main cast.

[@seismicmonkey8757]

That's what I'm saying, I'm hearing all these future episode theories that Stolas will die and that he'll come back to life (could be a possibility by the way) by the end of the season when he's already becoming more involved to the plot, he's been one of the most highlighted main characters in the show it wouldn't really make sense for the producer to just kill him off the show. Unless if the VA retired from the role then yeah that would be understandable.

[@wolfemperor_n112]

20:47 She’s not trying to lick him that’s her beak the tip is pink.

[@theirishviking9278]

going off the Wiki Stolas is 36(is the wiki so take that with a grain of salt) which means Stolas was 11 in the opening and 19 when Octavia was born

[@justyouraveragenerd5152]

18:30 I think Blitzø would be a HELLUVA BOSS

[@Airier]

😁

[@Hjorth87]

Im not sure i can handle much more feel from Stolas. He just seems so tormented, caught between being himself and really wanting to do the right thing/his duty. Its good to have helluva back, and it's really nice actually being up to speed with your vids on them as well :D
