@@unryles Blitz was trying to talk once he realized he wasn't joking but Stolas was too in his feels (probably from running out of antidepressants) and decided to walk away, shutting down the whole conversation, even out right saying you don't have to say anything I already have my answer. Which would obviously piss blitz off because he shut him down which is where he gets confirmation (in his mind) that Stolas doesn't actually care what blitz has to say. And blitz saying that he won't let him ask how he feels only to dismiss him and that he WILL be heard. And of course Stolas only hears what he's the most scared to hear, that blitz, the only person he cares about what they think, also see's him as this heartless monster who only took advantage of a situation, just like he already sees himself.

[@candycaine2244]

I feel like even with antidepressants, Stolas' reaction was understandable. What do you want to do? Put him on a ball and chain, and say "no blitz, open your heart, I can fix you 😍" You cant force anyone to be with you in the way you want, you have to let them go.

The point is that they both messed up in the situation and need to change if things are to become healthy. It especially makes it worse when I see people arguing with each other because of the side they picked.

[@fluffy_magnus]

I mean what else do people want Stolas to do? He has been showing for months that he doesnt care about the sex and he has handled the conversation really well. I dont understand why people act like Blitz lashing out was justified when it wasnt. Its not that Stolas didnt "give him time to think." Blitz literally ruined that HIMSELF by making fun of him. I know he did that unintentionally bc of his fucked up trauma but regardless he did that. Do ppl want Stolas to accept this fucked up treatment bc Blitz doesnt know how to react in a healthy way? Why do people want Stolas to constantly be Blitz's punching bag and accept whatever bs Blitz throws at him bc of Blitz's trauma? They both made mistakes in this relationship but except for the beginning of teh convo that could have been worded better from Stolas, i dont see what else ppl want stolas to do? He was on the losing side no matter what he would have done bc Blitz needs to work on himself first. And no matter what Stolas does or would do it will result in the same reaction. I understand why Blitz acts the way he does. I understand why he thought it was out of blue. But his obliviousness, projection and self destruction doesnt give him a pass to act this way.

YES THIS I SAID SMTH SIMILAR WHEN HE SAW STOLAS' REACTIONS ALL THE CONFUSED-ANGER/UPSET JUDT DISSIPATED Before Stolas...dismissed him (👀) from the manor, he had no intention to run or storm out. Which for me means that this was the 2nd crucial spot in the conversation where things could've taking a turn into positive progress/sincerity. First being when Blitz thinks its roleplay. Maybe the happy pill withdrawal is why that conversation didn't continue with a "🖐 I'm...not roleplaying." And bc of Look My Way I thought/hoped before the episode that it'd be like "crystal. Feelings. Please think about it, and if you want that with me, I'll be here/waiting patiently." Im rambling but I'm sorry, the way he started the conversation was the _worst_ 😅 and "a minute to think" is generally agreed on by reactors I've seen. TL;DR I said something similar to you! But also, it's stuck in my head that there were two key/crucial moments in the conversation...dang, where I guess I wanted Stolas to do smth specific. (Also happy pill factor)

[@shrekkek9396]

The second one is not miscommunication.

[@thepocketwatchman]

Worth to note. It could end up differently. If you pay attention in the opening song, you can see that Stolas is out of his antidepressant medication today in 5:35 . So it's extremely harsh day for him in general without his daily meds. Maybe with them he would be more patient and try to talk with Blitz after his "acting" instead of leaving with emotions just bursting out. Depression is terrible ;/

[@rachiepants3408]

This is actually such a good point! I can understand their insecurities and lack of communication skills but it’s so worthy to note that Stolas was off of his meds. So with their already shit communication, he might have been feeling super low already and his mind might’ve immediately went to worst-case-scenario when Blitz went to “roleplay”. And Blitz felt caught off-guard that Stolas was being serious and went to his first mental line of defense: defensiveness. Super sad on both ends, though I think that the break up needed to happen! They’ll be able to explore their feelings more and hopefully come back together stronger than ever!

[@kiyanwrytte1564]

Blitzø communicating through sheer emotions and Stolas communicating through words is such a good take. Honestly I can't believe I couldn't see that, if that is how it's supposed to be (seems like it) then that's such good character writing.

[@RinnzuRosendale]

Its always so much fun to see Nux go 1000 EQ on his chat.

[@_ubiquitous_9766]

the reason that they’re so bad at communicating with each other is because you have someone who is very avoidant (Blizø) communicating with someone who is very anxious (Stolas). Stolas needs a lot of validation and is very insecure, and wants to express everything all at once and talk about it so he no longer has to be anxious about it. Blitzø needs a lot of space and time simply because he cannot process emotions due to the fact that he thinks he’s not deserving of them, and then also his immediate defense mechanism is either anger or running away. Their way of communicating and the way trauma has affected them are so different which makes it really hard to communicate without saying exactly what they feel, which is the last thing that Blitzø wants to do; but there also needs to be a level of understanding of the other person’s emotions and responses that Stolas doesn’t have because he’s so insecure about himself.

[@TheTerminatorChris]

It was necessary for them to break up, now it’s time for them to figure out what’s wrong within themselves through other’s experiences and get feedback to change themselves for the better. Then we’ll get them back together just to talk in the same wavelength.

[@wandamiranda400]

Blitz and stolas are such well written characters istg. The "blitz communicates through row emotions and stolas communicates through articulated dialogues" perfectly matches with their social status. Another exemple is when blitz didn't answer stolas messages, i think the fact that blitz is almost illiterate thus can't really express anything over text was very much overlooked. Stolas had proper education and blitz did not, so his text messages are short and full of grammar errors and is literally anable to express the complexity of his feelings. Truly a masterpiece.

Which it seems kinda obvious they're both in the wrong since, as Nux says, they're not communicating with each other properly. And yeah, the relationship was transactional, but Sotlas literally admits it isnt right. It was never right. Those words imply he's admitting fault on his end as he slowly grew to want something more beyond that thrill.

He says what he means and means what he says. Both are TRYING to communicate the only way they know how, the way that works best for THEM. They havent learned that theres other ways to communicate.

[@gungeskhaaaa4459]

Stolas gave the feeling of breaking your phone then giving you a new one.

[@arcticbanana66]

The song emphasizes the way they each deal with their problems: Stolas obsesses over the situation, while Blitzø just ignores it and hopes it goes away. 3:47 - He had that duet with Moxxie back in "Truth Seekers" when they were tripping out on truth gas. 40:38 - Heh, that's a pun. "Coxcomb: (noun) 1. A conceited dandy; a fop. 2. A jester's cap; a cockscomb. 3. A strip of red cloth notched like the comb of a cock (rooster), which licensed jesters formerly wore in their caps." It works on multiple levels: Asmodeus's design is based on a rooster (a.k.a. a cock), Fizz is a jester, and the first syllable sounds like "cocks". So both of them were already handling the situation super badly, but the fact that Stolas was unmedicated and that Loona had put the idea that Stolas was bored with him into Blitzø's head certainly didn't help.

[@KingsBard]

Bro needs to rewatch the whole show if he's only NOW noticing the horse stuff with Blitzø

[@Gameboy0001]

While they're both at fault, Stolas is definitely the one that messed everything up to the point of ending things. The second Blitzo fully realized what was going on and wanted to have a real talk, Stolas had quite literally dismissed him like a service imp and told him to leave, not caring about anything else Blitzo had to say. Even RIGHT as Blitzo was trying to apologize to him, Stolas teleported him away. It makes sense Blitzo reacted the way he did for most of it, especially when you remember how Stolas treated him for most of the series up to this point, INCLUDING hiding his face behind the menu in shame instead of confirming his affection for Blitzo at the restaurant. It's hard to believe it's true love if he shows signs he's embarrassed of the relationship.

[@pantinaprovina42]

Exactly! And with Stolas reacting like that to being outed as ’sleeping with an imp’, how in the hell is Blitz supposed to have assumed a romantic relationship would go any better or even be an option at all?

[@Nexter-Lie]

I hope Nux checks out Sarcastic Chorus's video on this episode since it's actually a pretty eye-opening take on the whole Stolas and Blitzø argument.

[@pie1o1morris46]

Yes but it's also kinda biased imo. I agree with his points about Blitz's pov but he doesn't try to look from Stolas' pov too. Stolas just ran out of meds, has been worrying about this talk for months, and when he finally confesses Blitz says the things he wants to hear the most in a mocking tone. And if you look at the portraits in the hallway as they walk, Stolas has blocked out every one except Octavia. A parallel to Blitz scratching himself out of his pictures. You can see where both sides are coming from, but SC sided 100% with Blitz

[@xmant8842]

As trip moxxie said, blitz simply can not fathom proper intimacy, despite craving it as well

[@apex710]

Nux is adorable “what do you do with a Wisk!” “But you can’t even see it!” -referencing a blindfold

[@notanarsonist7574]

Stolas was literally like: "we need to talk, i don't think what we have right now is right for us it just feels like we're not going anywhere.... and THAT'S why we're going to disney world!" LIKE COULDNT YOU START WITH THAT!!??

[@Hephaestus_God]

Did you not notice all of season 1 and 2 part 1 that Blitz is a horse freak who does all kind of stuff with them and has been interested from the beginning?

[@Bezaliel13]

4:07 "So, because he thinks he is unlovable-BRO, HORSES!"

[@VIKIEMIKIE]

Nux's reaction made this episode 100 times better for me

[@gabriellavedier9650]

Blitzø has always been a horsegirl. Also, that was almost certainly Sweetie Belle's tail as a plug.

[@PikaKip32]

Finally, someone that doesn’t just rant about blitz and sees that stolas sucked at his communication as well

[@talizorahvasnerd]

Finally a reaction from someone with actual media literacy 😭

[@TheRhuen]

Blitz now under Asmodeus' jurisdiction is a definite going to be an issue later...like either the Hell courts (other Sins) questioning their activities, actions before having the crystal, or Asmodeus needing to keep things on the books making IMP do other jobs...maybe even have to work WITH Verosika *who works for Asmodeus as well*.

[@LegendofKal]

This is actually the second time we see Blitzø singing. The first was a duet with Moxxie during their "bad trip" in the DHORKS interrogation room. That's also Agent 1 in the Loona Fur Suit. You can see him putting the head on as he's running up to meet the Cherubs.

[@josephschultz3301]

_"THEY MADE A STARGATE!"_ Not gonna lie. I'm in my mid 30s so this was legitimately my first thought too. Somebody get MacGyver, we have to fight some alien Egyptians!

[@MagnustheDemon71]

33:55 the way nux's pupils srink in this clip

[@rainestar6781]

"Wha-where are you gonna put that?!" *Wherever it fits*

[@Niftyturnip-]

33:58 "what the fuck is that. . .?" you got me ROLLING the way you said that

I never cry thought series or movies I ALMOST CRIED

[@king-J29]

I never thought that I would get relationship advice from this especially this channel what the

[@Silkie_Dragon]

Your psychoanalysis of Blitzø and Stolas’ argument has me the most impressed I’ve ever been of you lol

[@BananaManInaPan]

This hit the feels just as much the second time as it did the first.😭

[@challengemeneo]

Such a good reaction video. THIS is how u add commentary in videos like this bro. Not “wow that’s crazy”. Nux the goat

[@jaxcraft2848]

The miscommunication is CRAZY! 😭

[@shinatina2466]

Ah nux is finally seeing the horses in the background whenever blitz is around

[@wiseforcommonsense]

Blitz loves Horses. this has been confirmed so many times. Horse Girl for real

[@ygnik]

i’ve been waiting for your reaction cause you always unpack those traumas in this show best. i agree strongly with what you’ve said. fucked up situation indeed but they needed that regardless just to open their eyes.

[@obijuankenobi8932]

Popes with guns. Literally Warhammer 40k

[@kahrugiadesu1501]

51:46 Stolas needs a conversation, Blitz needs a confirmation. Stolas knows he wants Blitz for the longest time but has never had the time to talk with Blitz to know what he's gone through to make him think the way he's been thinking up until now because it's always been through sex where they got to interact most of the time, and Blitz has been grasping at the that fleeting feeling that someone finally wants him for him but he's unsure if Stolas also feels the same way because past relationships had only ever gave bad scars. I could bet that he uses the sex as that bridge to feel that intimacy only in those brief moments and chalks it up to sex being enough to fill the space the void BUT again, he DOESN'T know or at least he's always in denial that stolas is that one person who looks his way and that's tragic.

[@SakyTenraku]

Something really important to note that a lot of people miss on the first watch (Idk if someone already said or not, probably did): Stolas is off his anti depressants for this conversation as well. A quick scene plays where he's seen shaking the bottle for it to be empty and he's panicked. So he's more prone to his emotions and isn't willing to hear Blitz out.

[@s3nsation646]

More so than that, Stolas has a trend of ignoring the signs and dragging people around and straying away from the things that make him unhappy or uncomfortable. Good example is his relationship with Octavia where in an attempt to spend time with her he sidelines the clear attitude she's showing at how annoyed at this development she is forcing her along to the circus. It took a while before they properly talked but she still made it clear she wanted him around in her life despite all of this mess and loves him and he was happy with that outcome. Or even just ignoring signs of Blitz unhappiness for months till it was something he had to confront. I believe he does it as a habit developed in trying to deal with how he lived with his dad and Stella, ignore the bad stuff, pretend you are able to run from it. Because of this he is unconfrontational generally to the point he can't handle high intensity emotional rage induced convos like Blitz had at the end or even just the face the possibility that Blitz doesn't like him back which he kept telling himself he'll accept if it came to that but wasn't emotionally ready to deal with the heartbreak that acme from it.

[@СарраКарагозян]

51:39 I read it less like Blitz doesn't hear what Stolas is saying and more hears but can't and/or doesn't want to comprehend it. Blitz seems deathly afraid to be rejected or hurt by people he loves that he refuses to acknowledge feelings, both theirs and his. As long as it's a roleplay, he can't really get hurt because it's not serious, it's just fun sex times! As long as it's a roleplay, he doesn't have to deal with the baggage of his past relationships or recognise that Stolas matters to him beyond that or notice that the power imbalance did hurt him, even if Stolas never really meant to and didn't realise what he intended as playful might've sounded condescending and painful. And Stolas cannot unsee the unfairness of their arrangement once he realises and tries his best to communicate, but missing his daily Happy Pills dose certainly made things worse, not to mention Stella's 18 years worth of constant reminders that he's unlovable and that she never liked him as a person and the newly-found self-loathing, and the divorce-related stress. It's understandable that he couldn't handle more heartbreak than "Is it a roleplay?" Also I wonder if he has anyone besides Octavia now, because Blitz has M&M and his and Fizz's reconciliation is going great, but Stolas seems to not have any adult friends with whom he can talk. Like! Asmodeus and he are distant friendly acquaintances now, but I don't think we ever heard of someone else? Maybe we'll either get his estranged friends this season or he and Verosika become drinking buddies.

[@helenarosno]

i think part of the reason i like this show is because there are so many characters that are much more mentally ill than me

[@LBAW]

The easiest fix would be Stolas saying “I don’t need your answer now.” It really shows his naivety that he thinks this grand gesture out of nowhere and requiring an immediate answer will work in his favor.

[@GreatSageEqualtoSokkon]

You need to hear this Nux. You're not awful and a waste of space. You're an agent of chaos with a hard-on for vigilante justice. You matter, and you bring joy to hundreds of thousands, if not millions. We care about you, man. Don't put yourself down.

[@ej-ej49]

Off topic but Monkie kid fan?

[@balanc-joy9187]

29:44 It's a Greek name meaning "glory" or "chosen one". I believe it's meant as a reference to how Greece has an association with shepherding (I think), and his coworkers have names that are of similar inspiration.

[@dangreen3868]

Blitz they could never make me hate you. so many people are hating on him in this episode but this episode solidified him as my favorite character, he's such a traumatized mess
