Just Look My Way Song Reaction - Helluva Boss

[@Noveler00]

Blitz is represented by the moon because, in episode 1, during the the cannibal hillbilly chase, Stolas called and laid out the agreement for Blitz using his grimoire, "Once a month, on the full moon, you return the book to me followed by a night of 'passionate fornication'. and you get to keep it all the rest of the time."

[@Brauiz90]

And the crystal shown in the beginning of the music video is an asmodean crystal Blitz is supposed to get so he doesn't have to use the grimoire anymore - the bond between Blitz and Stolas is about to end this way?

[@LovableLex]

@@Brauiz90either it will end… orrrr they will live happy together, its probably gonna end tho tbh

[@ixagonczi]

​@@LovableLexI'm going to cry when this episode drops, I can't see Stolas this broken, he deserves so much better.

[@EverythingxYourexNot]

Different symbolism thing, but someone smart pointed this out on Tumblr: Blitz's forehead insignia looks a bit like a heart that someone took bites out of. If you look at his bad trip in season 1 episode 6, while he's in the clown outfit, it's a broken heart. And when you look at it in this MV, from Stolas's perspective, it's just a heart. Stolas doesn't see Blitz as damaged goods at all 😭

[@SaiyanSerenityV]

How dare you make my heart hurt all over again 😭😭😭

[@pie1o1morris46]

And when the thread of fate snaps, the frayed ends look like two hands reaching for each other 🥲

[@meez.cooler]

when one of your fav songs for a show is a FANMADE song that was so good the creators made it canon

[@LovableLex]

They did change the lyrics a bit to match current Stolas because the fanmade one was more like the Stolas in the pilot. He says “little impish plaything” in the fanmade but never does in the canon one.

[@ArtLia_02]

​@@LovableLex Stolas did say that in S1E7 when he was saving them from the agent

[@LovableLex]

@@ArtLia_02 we are talking about the song Stolas sings, Look My Way, not an episode quote

[@ArtLia_02]

@@LovableLex ah, i see Sorry 😂

[@renimusprime]

“I’ll save us both before we grow cold” Till this very day, that’s one of my favorite lyrics from the whole song.

[@Daralyndk]

"I will try to make ammends, for making you means to an ends" that line speaks to me most of all, because it shows that Stolas really wants give Blitz a choice and not to keep him on a leash by the book access

[@Kayta-Linda]

^ This one for me as well, along with “But dearest, I know better now, I must give you this choice”. The one that’s not as high but still way up there is “So I’ll give you this mercy, this bond on our souls needs to end”.

[@gajustempus]

@@Daralyndk I do interpret this line a liiittle different: Stolas is reflecting on how he might have given Blitz a wrong impression - and he wants to give what it needs to fix their relationship. In a way, he offers to repair the collapsing bridge between them as much as he can, so Blitz does accept that. And he's even ready to give himself up in archieving this goal.

[@Moonchild0]

It's all about the feelings. Bryce Pinkham was crying during the recording

[@alexandtv]

You could feel it

[@TheFangirlOtaku]

"Stolas Sings" from S2Ep1 is the one he infamously performed in one take through tears, did he cry during this one too? I haven't heard about it

[@TheAceOfFire]

He SHOULD be, this thing forces ME to cry every time!

[@hellsdementedsong5563]

Well so was everyone else so he did a fantastic job.

[@MrPloco]

Hor hor hor hor hor

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

Its not that song itself is... tear forcing. Its more what visuals in this song suggest coming next. "We" all know that will be devastating.

[@AndyG94]

So about that.... 😅😢😢😢

[@bakayaroonna8]

I love how the moon starts off small enough to be held in Stolas' hands, then grows ever larger and farther away so Stolas cannot hug the moon or even touch it anymore. It is so heartrending. Bryce did such an excellent job with this song and I played it nonstop when it first dropped. The first time I watched it, I had both hands clasped over my mouth so I could just listen and watch without interrupting it with any sound from me. Yes, I got a little misty-eyed, too. I also noticed the lyric changes from the original fan song that was already posted on YT and on Spotify. About the fan songwriter Paranoid DJ, the lyrics originally were about how Octavia would feel if Stolas left her behind for Blitzø, per the Loo Loo Land ep. Then PDJ was invited by Viv to come in and rework the song to fit the latest storyline. By then, Octavia already knew about (and begrudgingly accepted) her dad's affair with Blitzø (because her dad was finally happy) and was becoming friends with Loona, so the dynamics had definitely changed. Viv also made Paranoid DJ the sound designer for the music video. That is why the music and filler sounds are so epic. And the song is now CANON! The red string of Fate really killed me - they are meant to be together!

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Paranoid DJ is such a gem like I also listen to Smile Like You Mean It and The Ringleader on loop, they sound so incredibly canon. I can't imagine how one person can cook up so many different genres

[@ryanratchford2530]

Blitz and Stolas' agreement is to meet once a month every full moon in exchange for the book and sex. That's why I think he represents the moon

[@corberus3119]

the moon also has historical symbolism with love e.g romeo and juliet "O swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon. that monthly changes in her circled orb. lest that thy love prove likewise variable" its used as a symbol of imperfection, unlike romeo's fake perfect love with rosaline his relationship with juliet isn't perfect its real, much like how stolas and blitz don't have a perfect relationship

[@noahxavier6253]

Another point of symbolism for the moon is the the whole "dark side of the moon" being Blitzo's hidden insecurities, using their full moon contract as a shield for letting himself get close to anyone, especially Stolas. This is also symbolized by the chains he wore in the hallucination episode. He starts crawling up the stairs willingly and then the chain forms, almost like an excuse of why he went to Stolas. The visual storytelling in this show never ceases to amaze me.

[@SharonVinyard]

The most beautiful thing about this song is the fact that it was created by a fan. Paranoid DJ published it 2 years ago and it became canon after adjusting a few lines. I already loved his version but after hearing it from Bryce, I fell in love with it again. His way of singing is so touching!

[@rusmmx]

the fake tears lmao 😭😭 I love u

[@alexandtv]

Had to give the people what they want 🤣🤣

[@EverythingxYourexNot]

I watched this (the MV) while at the gym... I forgot about it after I caught up with the series, and my youtube recommended it as I was looking for stuff to listen to while working out. Well, suffice to say my workout was shot there and there, I watched and rewatched it while sitting on a mat for 15 minutes, wiping my tears from my face, before I gave up and just went to change :D

[@alexandtv]

Yea this is def not a gym song lmao.

[@SS-ui7by]

Oh my god, this is so hilarious, and also so fucking me. Although i wasn't in the gym, I was studying. And my whole day was ruined, I was just wallowing in bed, feeling sad about stolas, periodically pausing whatever I was doing and bursting into anguished (but excited for the new episode) screams randomly throughout the day in the middle of different tasks.

[@nightcoreyuno]

I was walking back home at night with a latte and all listening to songs with my earphones. Then I listened to this and I had to sit down on a nearby bench to process my emotions while wiping away my tears. 💀

[@deletespirit927]

10:38 "These balls are getting a little moist" has got to be the worst way of saying you're tearing up

[@alexandtv]

[@Molly-Pop]

​@@alexandtv I mean you're technically right, but you didn't have to say it like THAT. (In a similar vein, TECHNICALLY I was born in the late 1900s but again, it doesn't have to be said like THAT 😂)

@@Molly-Pop freedom of speech and personality baby 😀😃

[@MushroomOfMeh]

You got me in me first half ngl 😂😂😂

[@LadyOfSummer]

This was originally a fan song, and they thought it was so good and fit the character so well. This is essentially when Stolas gets the crystal from Asmodeus and he's supposedly going to try to give it to him in the next episode. The next episode is also called "Full Moon". Stolas and Blitz have a lot of symbology with the full moon because that's when they meet up.

[@LadyOfSummer]

You can find the original on KZbin and spotify if you ever feel like comparing because there are some changes. Someone posted a video putting the two side by side.

[@ryantoth531]

Hey Alex, I really appreciate you going through this series and not monetizing this series so you didn't have to blur it. like you said in your last video. I just wanted to say that as a viewer I really appreciate you doing this and it definitely drives up engagement. And you know you rambling on is honestly what I'm here for. I want to hear your thoughts and reactions so don't feel too bad for letting your videos go on for long periods of time!!! Thanks again! And look forward to what you have to offer in the future!

[@EverythingxYourexNot]

I think there is a chance that this is how episode 8 will start with, but you still needed to see it now. You would have been spoiled for it otherwise...

[@alexandtv]

Yea either way it was great to watch!

[@oliveruwukocka3459]

8:37 Blitz is the moon because their contract was that once a month on the full moon they will sleep together as an exchange for the book. Also the next episode 8 is called "the full moon" so its gonna be about Stolas giving the Asmodean crystal to Blitz and breaking the contract.

[@niborlero]

"it's a big gold nugget" got mE CACKLING

[@wintercalico]

it's also an interesting analysis to think on how stolas was entrusted to study the cosmos, he's got to have a great understanding on the moon and stars, and yet here is blitz, a moon that remains a fixed point in his life, someone whom he sees every month but that he cannot reach or truly get to know. I also think its a great detail how the moon keeps growing bigger just like his love for blitz has, but despite having become such a huge presence in his life blitz remains enclosed within the moon.

[@katchii93]

"i know people will be annoyed at the pausing but... is the moon blitz?" RIGHT before they reveal blitz- oh dont worry, im not annoyed. thats funny and entertaining to me 😆

[@Rayaa-10cc]

My eyes are red, I can't with this song. I love this song, it is heartbreaking and so sad, yet so gorgeous!😢

[@ningning5500]

this song always rips my heart apart

[@Akipoutark]

After weeks of finding this song im still fully hooked and obsessed with it. The instrumental. The voice. The ANIMATION QUALITY??? literally eye and ear candy

[@maryamtara2934]

Bruhh the fake tears killed me! I actually cried fr watching that video for the first time but I cry easily so im not the standard at all😂😂😂

[@Bunnyskittle]

Blitz is represented as the moon in this music video because his and Stolas’s agreement is that they meet up every full moon and also, in the words of Romeo and Juliet, “O, swear not by the moon, th’ inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable.” Meaning that, just like the moon, Stolas and Blitz’s relationship is on and off like the moon.

[@MeatSim9]

So the reason Blitz is the Moon is because their arrangement is that Once a month, on the full moon, Blitz returns the book so Stolas can do his magic duties, and then they have a fuck, and Blitz gets to keep the book the rest of the time. That's why Stolas calls out "Those dazzling moonlit nights."

[@SS-ui7by]

The way EVERYTIME without fail, i let out an anguished wail and find myself sobbing whenever i listen to this song. I bet you cant tell stolas is my confort character and seeing him cry hurts me. Now way you can tell.

[@peteramaranth85]

my demon stolas

[@Mikbevan36]

Blitz is the moon to Stolas because they have there meet ups during the full moon but Stolas being into astrology views the moon the same way he views Blitz he holds him in high regard. I love this video so much it makes me tear up everytime. Bryces voice is incredible and conveys so much emotion ❤

[@zayne8331]

It’s not once a year they hook up, it’s once a month on the full moon, hence the moon symbolism.

[@karninana]

Listen dude with all honesty, stop taking the comments of "why you stopping the video" to heart. It's a reaction video! You suppose to react! To notice thing and talk. If they want to simply watch the video they can go watch it without stopping. You are completely fine I enjoy watching your reactions.

[@MM-jf1me]

Agreed completely! Pause as much and as often as you wish -- _you're_ why people are watching your videos; we can go elsewhere if we wanna watch the stuff you're reacting to without breaks.

[@crazymae173]

Forgot to add, this song was originally a fan made song! Viv made it canon and animated it with Bryce singing

[@p3chv0gel22]

I feel like that last shot of Stolas tearing up is the same as when he First saw Blitzø as a child in the circus in the flashback during S2E1 But instead of happiness and the feeling of love back than, it's now just the dooming knowledge that this love may be gone for good soon

[@mierin802]

The agreement they made was once a month on the full moon blitz has to bring the grimoire back and then spend the night with him. Also referenced in the song when he mentions 'Yet, I find myself drawn from that path On those dazzling moonlit nights'. So you have blitz, the symbolic moon, luring him from the planned path of his responsibilities.

[@PChuu22]

"Call me Dora." 🤣......new fear unlocked tho.

[@helenanilsson5666]

The thing I think is interesting with Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel is that HB shows us the graph of increased quality through the episodes, while HH has a much more even quality across the season. Presumably because HB episodes are released whenever they are ready rather than gathered up for bulk release. HB always had good quality for a KZbin show, but there is a world of difference between the early episodes and the new episodes. I'm sure it has been very useful for the creators to have HB as a relatively free space where they have less restrictions and can test out what hits home with the fans. (As well as of course generating interest in the Vivsiepop Hell and gathering+retaining a fanbase)

[@Thenovarivers]

The symbolism of the moon being blitz is because they meet to hook up every full moon.i believe

[@EverythingxYourexNot]

What is that opening bruh :D :D :D how are you so funny

[@alexandtv]

🤣😊

[@TheRizzlantie]

I love that this was a fansong at first and now it became canon, paranoid dj is amazing

[@Ashley-cj6dw]

What's really heart-wrenching beautiful about Stolas and Blitz to me is that I think Blitz is trying to fix himself because he wants a relationship with Stolas. Maybe it's me being delulu, but what he did in happy campers has me thinking this way.

[@alexandtv]

Oh I totally agree. I think he pushes off stolas cause he's like, I'm an imp, I'm a nobody to be something serious with him. But like you said, he is trying to fix everything to feel better about himself to then try and give it a shot then once he feels he is worthy

[@LadyxSky]

I actually saw this on TIKTOK for the first time and I just sat there, SOBBING , taking this in. Bryce is such an incredible singer and he put so much emotion into this song. And the animation is absolutely stunning. I just want them to be happy, gdi -sob-

[@moonlightrianbow1304]

It's was soo sad one time blitz said he don't care about him like this is soooooo emotional

[@diogosousa7698]

This song is just a knife in the heart is so good in tearms of visuals and you can ear real emotions. And yes the moon represents him and basically a resume of their relancion in beginning blitz was just a little moon around him because of the deal but as it goes on it grows into something that stolas cannot unsee or ignore but he got to let go if nedded (let go in case blitz just takes the cristal and never talks to stolas again)

[@annoyingbaka]

Blitzø is represented as a full moon because thats when they do the exchange! Once a month in the full moon Stolas needs the book to do his Guardian work and thats when they do an exchange of gains. At the start he has the asmodeus crystal hes going to give Blitzø he doesnt need the book anymore to travel to the human world nor do exchanges with Stolas. So yeah this is technically after episode 6 because Fizz tells Ozzy to go ahead and do the favour for Stolas because he knows his intentions.

[@KaterynaM_UA]

Ah, I just love binging reactions. I watched you going through it all in one sitting. And watching someone go from ahahaha, what is this sex crazed bird going about in episode one to THIS, is really entertaining and also really speaks about the quality of writing on this show.

[@shawtystrange7531]

The stone he got at the beginning was a crystal that can open portals to the human world. He want’s to give it to blitz so he isn’t bound to stoles anymore and so that he can choose what to do next

[@ShyyGaladriel]

Notice how small the moon is in the beginning of the video and how it gets bigger and bigger until it is enormous.

[@koaku7937]

The moon also pulls the tides… that’s why in the water scene as stolas is getting farther away the tide is still affecting him. Aka blitzo

[@tempestwakener]

The thing I think is amazing is that while the emotion is so much deeper, they kept it pretty close to the way the original youtuber/fan wrote and sang it.

[@pinkgazelle3445]

Didn't expect you to cry, just catching you up to the current moment in the story lol.

[@gremalien]

I believe in episode 1 on his phone call, he makes the deal that every full moon they have passionate fornication and Blitzø can keep the book the rest of the time. But I also can see the moon being a distraction or an obsession from his studies and knowing prophecies. Also the moon being something he can’t reach ..but maybe he can idk he portals to dying stars to get his kid to sleep. So idk it could mean anything but yes Blitzø is his moon! Great reaction, so happy you watched it!

[@ByJasmineDayton]

"imma bout to do a rewatch." literally ME ALL WEEK MAN

[@alexandtv]

[@sndziel]

Love the fake tears, it was a genius detail, I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago -since Hazbin Hotel reactions- and it was so worth it. I love how you are honest with your reactions and everything, and your jokes lol 😂 I don't buy other creators that have cried with this song, there are some who haven't seen the show yet and were sobbing ffs 😅 P.S.: sorry about my English, it's not my first language

[@Mariaaaaaaakk]

Literally Noone got it right in the comments! Blitz is the locked dark side of the moon that never looks at the earth THAT'S WHY HE SAYS LOOK AT MY WAY! Stolas is the earth and most specific the ocean and blitz is the dark side of the moon that never faces the earth!!!

[@LordAshen]

also i think its cool that the moon starts off as this small little thing. And as he gets more into his feelings it becomes larger and more important. the moon also orbits its planet - Stolas takes it/him from its place, wants him to stay tied to him. But as Blitz grows more important to him Stolas finds himself desperate to stay close to him, and now hes drawn into blitz's orbit instead. There's a lot of beautiful symbolism in the video.

[@haannishh]

Damn I bawl everytime I hear this damn song

[@shaniceball9052]

The moon does represent Blitz because Stolas and Blitz's arrangement was they would meet every once a month on the Full Moon for Blitz to return the Grimoie to Stolas and... ehem.... have their "fun" ❤

[@MM-jf1me]

I think the songs are stronger in HH (apart from this one), but I am more invested in HB… there’s so much depth to the characters and their relationships. I love that sad horny birb, and I need him to have a happy ending (heh) with Blitzy. I prefer the smaller scale storyline too - “will they fall in love” vs “will they save the world” I also find HB much funnier - the humour is darker and snappier, in some way? Anyway, I just love this series and it’s been fun watching it again with you! Off to plan a Stolitzø themed tattoo now 🥲 Hope you had a good Dead Guy on a Stick Day!

Typical Capricorn reaction in the beginning. I relate. Im a Capricorn too. This series is so emotionally charged but i just can't cry lol.

[@alexandtv]

😂😂😂😂😂 we're just built different

[@TheFangirlOtaku]

The moon symbolism is LOADED in this. It's a reference to Romeo and Juliet, their contract, and is full of its own meaning. The moon is a meteor that crashed into earth billions of years ago and got stuck in our orbit, much how Blitz crashed into Stolas' life when they were kids and never quite left it, especially after that first night together as adults. He fears the moon leaving his orbit (Blitz leaving him) and when it does he chases after it, desparate to keep their connection. Stolas looking at Blitz in the dark side of the moon represents the rarity of catching a glimpse of Blitz's true feelings, and the "walls he's conjured up to live." Hence him asking "Is this what you feel?" Then he finally concludes "if you love something, let it go" and pushes it away himself. My favorite line in the song, thematically, visually, and sonically is when he leaps forward and promises "I will try to make amends for making you a means to an end," meaning he understands now why their relationship is doomed to fail as it is, and what he needs to try to do, whether it ends in them being close or him drowning in his own despair at the loss of Blitz.

[@SevenQs]

This was originally a fan song, with only a few lyrics changing to fit the characters situation better. It really shows the development of their relationship Ex: Come now, my little impish plaything. We both made our choice -> But, dearest, I know better now. I must give you this choice

Also the crystal at the start, is a gift fro ozzie, it's his symbol on the box, so that's for blitz to go to the human world. This is about making that decision, will blitz want to keep seeing stolas when given that freedom of the crystal, so not needing to sleep with stolas under their contract.

[@Jesse42957]

you should react to the murder drones series, its made by the same people who made the amazing digital circus

[@boffgirl]

the moon is about that they meet up every full moon to sleep together.

[@mishybbyx]

Regarding the moon represents them and their meet up cause they meet every full moon.The stone he received at the beginning is from Ozzie so if he give blitz the stone they no longer will need to meet and huge fan of the pausing
