THE PAIN! *• LESBIAN REACTS - HELLUVA BOSS - 2x08 "THE FULL MOON” •*

[@bad-girl-coventhe-owl-club1119]

"I can do better" is almost childlike in its phrasing. Blitzø is reverting back to his childhood self when he was so desperate to please his father. And now he's terrified Stolas will throw him aside with no care because he’s not enough.

“And you can just play with our feelings because we’re smaller and not as important” Blitzø says with tears because that’s what he thinks that conversation is about

[@HoneyQueen346]

Notice how when Stolas gave him the crystal, Blitzø wasn't excited or happy. He just kept saying he could do better. Even after being told what the gem does, Blitzø doesnt want to end the relationship with Stolas. But he has no idea how to express that. 😭

[@IceMetalPunk]

In his self-hating mind, where no one can love him, someone saying "You don't need me anymore" sounds like "I don't want you anymore". Even with Stolas saying "I want you to stay," Blitzø can't manage to believe that's true -- it must be a joke, or a roleplay, or anything but genuine. #Baggage

[@akitkat-1225]

​@@Xx_Sunny0mor1_xX What did he say?

[@MuffinHunterX]

Stolas probably should have gotten through the love confession and done some cuddling before trying to take the grimoire. That immediately put Blitz in defensive mode.

[@drdewott9154]

But at the same time he was so nervous about the whole thing, his entire plan for the moment, to attempt this, having been built up for an eternity. That combined with his stress and fears of what could come as a consequence, and his medication running out too to top if off, means he likely didnt have the capacity in the moment to think of anything else but ending the deal and giving Blitz his choice.

[@priscilasoria4290]

He wanted to get out of that contract as fast as possible, I think, because he wanted to make things right, just like "starting again" or something like that; confessing only when there is equal circumstances for both of them. But he didn't know that Blitzø never considered them like that, even before the contract was made, mostly because of his self hatred and trust issues (English is no my native language)

[@monkeydance3894]

To be fair, in Stolas’s mind, the love confession would not be as equals because Blitz may feel pressured to keep the Grimoire. As someone who sucks at communicating, I don’t envy Stolas’s position (Not that I think he’s blameless)

[@christopherbacon1077]

I don't think Blitz is ever *not* in defensive mode in a sexual relationship because he can't conceive of anyone liking, much less loving him

[@LivingFire_BurningFlame]

I just noticed Stolas takes his crown/hat off when he tells Blitzø he can stay if he wants to, as a sense of showing his vulnerability, but then puts it back on when Blitzø doesn’t take him seriously.

[@Zekes_cutest_little_thing]

I think it could also mean that at that moment he was speaking as an equal, setting aside his prince status and being sincere with him, as a way to make him (Blitz) understand as well.

[@VanHellbright4763]

That final scene was honestly SO painful because it showed their biggest problems. Stolas while genuine in his feelings, unintentionally controls the conversation and automatically assumes what Blitzø is thinking while not actually ASKING what he wants, and Blitzø doing everything that he can to completely ignore any real conversation about their issues to avoid getting hurt, and completely lashing out when he can't. This results in Stolas thinking that his first friend and love only saw him as a privileged prince despite all his efforts to show him that he always saw them as equals, and Blitzø once again adding another person to the list of people who he genuinely loves but pushed away because he was too afraid to show it, right as he was finally allowing himself to be vulnerable. You know they're eventually going to make up, but it's definitely going to take them both jumping through A LOT of hurdles before their relationship can even remotely become a healthy one.

[@AttemptedVoices]

First of all, well-written, and I love it. Here's a like. Secondly, the way you put it reminds me of that moment from The Lion King 1 1/2. Vivienne: "Do you know what this means?" Fans: "Uh... Stolas can't express his feelings and Blitzo has commitment issues?" Vivienne: "I won! Hahaha! I split 'em up!" Fans: "And uh.. that's a good thing?"

[@Beetle-co5ht]

I completely agree with you! Both of them had their problems that led that conversation going the way it did. I do think Blitzø is scared to be hurt, but also just thinks Stolas isn't being serious. Why would anyone ever love him, so when Stolas starts acting like he truly does love him he must just be faking it.

[@TAlbPSS]

At the end when blitzø said "stolas wait im-" then if you listen to the whisper in the background you can hear "sorry"

[@EsmeHellhound-qh1xo]

If you look closely at the pictures at the mansion, as Stolas trying to explain himself, it's noticeable that all of them are smudged or covered, except parts with Octavia. That completely shows that Stolas hates himself as much as Stella, just like Blitzø, with all pictures at his house with his own faces shaded.

[@peterbear4413]

I strongly suspect that the eventual reunion between them is going to revolve around the daughters. If I were guessing... both Octavia and Loona will be threatened in some way, probably by Striker since he has a grudge against Blitzø and Stolas and would be eager to hurt them. And so, like we saw earlier, both of our poor damaged-but-trying dads will be forced to put their own feelings aside to rescue the most important people in their lives. And *that* is what's going to be the common ground they both need. Just my prediction.

[@ukihakasmikaze8778]

Someone pointed this out on twitter. But notice when Blitzø was screaming at Stolas, Stolas was flinching and hugging himself tighter every time. They pointed out that its likely Stolas was having flashbacks to when Stella would scream at him. Blitzø is literally triggering Stolas's PTSD from his abuse from her, and thats why Stolas kept trying to get away from him.

[@PopStarLegend4365]

Reading this makes me feel even more disappointed in Blitzo. I thought he would push past his insecurities, but no! He just had to push Stolas’ buttons and remind him of his PTSD from Stella!

[@desimosi579]

I don't really think this fits given that while he's a soft boi he's very aloof and cold with Stella. We've never seen him flinch at her yelling, he mostly just seems annoyed and over it if not outright fighting back. I do believe though that his flinching and holding himself because blitz is confirming every negative though he's had about himself. In the beginning he says he'll believe blitz instead of the voices in his head, and now his interpretation is that blitz is outright telling him that his biggest fear is true, he's a monster who only used blitz and held him there against his will never even considering that blitz might now want it.

[@chobits0821]

That's a bit of a stretch. We've never seen Stolas shrink from Stella's yelling or insults. When he's moving her stuff out he even gets frustrated with her and insults her back. Not to minimize the abuse that he went through, but we haven't been shown anything to back that up.

[@ashly310]

@@desimosi579He does that because he’s used to it, Like we see in an episode he catches her hand and doesn’t even call her out for trying to hit him, Meaning he was just used to verbal and physical abuse from her, But as we see it’s been days or months since the divorce, Giving him time to heal and forget how the abuse felt like, That’s more likely why he flinched

I really hope he doesn’t get away with putting blitz into a “yes or no” situation without giving him time to think, or I might just pop a vessel lmao.

The final scene is so good (and sad) because it showed their problems.

When he is forced to face the real feelings he lashs out and starts to yell to hide his insecurities (amongst other angsty things). Stolas while more mature and genuine in his feelings, unintentionally controls the conversation and assumes what Blitz is thinking by Blitz's first reactions, While Blitz is doing everything that he can to ignore a real conversation about their feeling to avoid getting hurt by his past.

[@d3ad-muff1n]

blitz thinking it's a joke because he doesn't think anyone could love him, then stolas thinks that blitz does not having feelings back. I can't I broke into tears

[@KatOnline]

The way I read this whole interaction between Blitz and Stolas is that Blitz thinks so lowly of himself and looks up so highly on Stolas that the idea that Stolas would actually love him is impossible. So after this all happens, he makes up all these other scenarios of "oh he's just roleplaying" "oh he just playing me in a sick twisted way there's absolutely no way he actually loves me". He doesn't believe someone in such a high class and as amazingly as Stolas is, could ever love someone like him. Meanwhile, Stolas from his standpoint thinks Blitz's reaction of denial and having an emotion lash out means Blitz hates him and thinks lowly of him. Which is completely valid for Stolas to think that considered they don't communicate very well. Which is a bit of the fault of both of them. Communication is very important people.

The thing I love most about Stolas and Blitzø’s argument is that neither one was in the right. They both have said and done things in the past and right now in this episode that led them to this moment. That led them to their argument. It was such a well written scene. Everything about it was perfect but the moment I watched this episode I knew people was going to hate Blitzø for this and not even try to understand where he is coming from because he hides his true feelings behind anger and that is often something people have a hard time sympathizing with. And Stolas is a fan favorite character so naturally they will be on his side when there are no sides. Not in this situation.

[@peterbear4413]

That's my take as well. Neither of them is in the right, and if anything, Stolas is probably more to blame because he's the one with the power in the dynamic. Per the original arrangement, Blitz *needed* Stolas' grimoire, because without it he couldn't do his job. Even with the best of intentions, that's a power/control issue, and that's not healthy. Stolas' other major problem is that his view of 'romance' is entirely fictionalized. It comes from telenovelas, and all his real relationships have been bad (to say the least). So he was approaching things from an entirely unrealistic viewpoint. I'm completely sure that they're going to resolve their differences. Eventually. It'll take time and it won't be easy. But, as Charlie Morningstar taught us... 'it starts with sorry'.

[@IceMetalPunk]

This just goes to show that communication isn't only about what you say, it's about what the other person believes. You can be as clear as crystal about your motivations, but if the other person doesn't believe you, they'll project their assumptions onto you instead. Blitzø believes no one can love him, so even when Stolas says directly, "I want you to stay, I think so much of you, please stay", Blitzø can only assume it must be a joke or a roleplay or anything but genuine. And Stolas assumes that must be because Blitzø only cares about the sex, rather than realizing it's his assumption and not his desires. Communication is hard, especially when two broken people with a lifetime of baggage each get together.

While there's indeed things Stolas didn't do perfectly during that discussion, not giving time to think wasn't part of them. Blitz was the one to answer immediately with deflection, because he did NOT want to address his feelings. Stolas wasn't pressing him to answer.

[@NyehNyeh12]

⁠@@neyaneazrune548it’s absolutely part of the problem, just because he didn’t spell it out doesn’t change the fact that Stolas only listened to blitz once the whole entire conversation. Up until when blitz was expected to answer, everything he said was cut off by Stolas continuing the “conversation”, which was more so Stolas talking TO him and not WITH him. And the only time blitz was allowed to speak, was when he was expected to give a perfect answer imminently, and because he misunderstood what Stolas meant, Stolas just took that as his answer. That whole time Stolas was just talking TO him, and then expected a perfectly thought out response. Sure, blitz could have asked to think about it, but if Stolas was really just messing with him then he would feel humiliated to hell and back. He can be hurt by blitz’s response, but that doesn’t mean he can just STOP listening. Ultimately blitz had time to think only until his very first initial reaction, and then no time to explain himself.

[@addisonlane4514]

Whats so amazing and hurtful to me in Blitz’s monologue is his realization that he doesn't want Stolas to leave him, but he can't accept it so he calls him out for doing stuff to him to make it even. He's not just criticizing Stolas’ class as a goetia but as someone who he has been tethered too. He has these feelings too, stolas never prior telling blitz upfront is on him in Blitz’s mind I feel. It being sprung on him so fast made him angry because he wasn't in control for once on how things happen, this happened with Fizz too with the accident. But something that sticks out to me in his monologue was the “I'm not letting you!! Lets go!!” like he was ready to bed stolas and keep him still with him. He didn't want to be given up on. The last statement was like a cry to keep Stolas there even though his anger is misplaced. He wants stolas, he just doesn't know how to get him. His self hatred wont let him see that Stolas has real feelings for him and he isn't like one of his supposed imp butlers that Blitz thinks he's had. This just really hurts.

[@alecrunner7914]

The reason I think Stolas was hurt so much by Blitz’s outburst wasn’t just that he loves him and Blitz didn’t love him back (he does tho), but also Stella would yell at him so much because of his relationship with Blitz

What I appreciate about Stolas: he laid everything down. He didn't just use the vagueness of the transaction talk and see what Blitzø would react. There was no room to misinterpret his words. He put out his feelings of regret of the past and what he wants and what he hopes for. What I did not appreciate: He didn't give the patience for Blitzø to fully comprehend the absolute NUKE he dropped on him within the span of 3 minutes.

[@neyaneazrune548]

Technically he never hurried Blitz to respond, Blitz just jumped on the "oh you're playing with me" excuse so he didn't have to think about it, and everything went down from there.

[@DragonGoddess18]

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

'There are no room to misinterpret his words'. Yes, but there was ample room to misinterpret his actions. Him taking the Grimoire was the worst first action he could have taken. It immediatly (and visibly) puts Blitz into defence mode. Him then standing up and walking away (while I see what he had planned there with the books and the symbolism) did escalate things further. Blitz was on the verge of crying before Stolas even started his speech. There are more examples throughout the interaction, but I'm pointing this out specifically, because this sort of sealed the entire interaction. The only thing that would have salvaged it at any point was a level headed conversation. And that was never going to happen. Stolas never planned for a conversation, Blitz wouldn't have been ready for a conversation, they cannot genuinely communicate with each other (they communicate so differently and dont account for the other's way, which screws them over) and to top it all off, both are highly unstable right now. Stolas has run out of medication, is still an emotional mess from the divorce and absolutely wrecking himself and panicking for this evening. Meanwhile Blitz just went through the metaphorical emotional blender, is still trying to process this interaction and desperately throwing up every wall possible to protect himself. I feel like at the end, they finally hit a breakthrough. Stolas finally communicates his feelings in a way Blitz understands and something genuinely did seem to get through to Blitz at that moment. I do truly believe that if they stayed together just for a minute longer, they would finally reach a talking point-

The sign on the bus is a Blowout Sale on Robo-Fizzes "Because I don't want them anymore" >.>" some fallout from last episode. They did SO WELL with the music (or lack thereof toward the end) and lighting! Hitting the PERFECT tragic tone.

[@The_BTSHouse]

Now that I'm rewatching this through your reaction. Stolas being mad that Blitzø's first instinct is about sex was a bit unfair In the contract HE HIMSELF proposed, Blitzø's part was just about having sex with him and until Ozzie's, he had never really did anything to show he wanted to have something other than sex with Blitzø "Stolas, don't act like what we have is something other than YOU wanting ME to fuck YOU, okay? *You make it clear all the time* ..." We, as an audience, have SEEN Stolas sing about his love multiple times and WE know he loves him since forever, but we need to remember that Blitzø is not a spectator, he didn't see any of this It's like watching Helluva Boss for the first time but cutting out Stolas' POV in every episode So it's not surprising that he didn't think it was serious at first and was confused/angry 'cause, for him, Stolas started to show his feelings out of the literal nowhere So we can't exactly blame him *(FOR FUCK SAKE I'M NOT PUTTING ALL THE BLAME ON STOLAS' BACK OR HATING ON HIM, I'M JUST SEEING THE SITUATION THROUGH BLITZØ'S EYES WHICH IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT ONLY HALF A DOZEN IN THIS FANDOM DOES)*

[@mierin802]

Wow, such amazing communication on stolas part, just wish he had taken into account that though he's been stewing over this for several months (blitz skipped out on a few full moons) he gave blitz no real time to process. It's like he put his all into the grand opening and forgot that after that point there's still a business to run.

The absolute nerve to drop this episode the day before Pride Month

[@asthejayflies]

Your reaction is maybe the fifth or sixth that ive watched since the ep dropped (i process new eps by watching as many reaction vids as possible) and i only just now realized when you said here 23:43 that the “pride ring weather somehow redder than usual” we see at the start of the ep is foreshadowing/justification for the harsh lighting in this scene. the details in this show are absolutely insane i love it so much

[@brad1039]

I love how when Stolas is confessing his feelings he gets down to Blitzø's eye level and takes off his hat crown. It shows that he really does think of Blitzø as an equal and that he doesn't think his royal status makes him any better than Blitzø

[@doobydool]

Yessssss It shows he values and respects him!!

[@Kelaiah01]

You: "Don't you dare get enthralled by that, Blitz!" Me, who already saw the episode: "Oh, you sweet summer child." ;)

[@VerchielxKanda]

Blitz0 was so confused in his head that he just regressed to anger, not knowing any other way to handle the issue.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

And Stolas just fed into Blitz' belief that Stolas doesn't respect him as an equal. He expects Blitz to immediately respond happily to his sudden love confession without giving him time to think about it at all. When that doesn't happen, Stolas doesn't actually listen to Blitz or ask him how he feels. Instead he assumes he already knows how Blitz feels and then refuses to hear him out and have an adult conversation. He doesn't want to hear how he's made mistakes with how he's treated Blitz too. He shuts down the conversation and dismisses Blitz like an underling not worth his time.

[@kaileychambers6969]

This! I've seen too many reactions of people getting mad at Blitz but not Stolas's part in this issue. Blitz literally says he needed a minute to process because this was sprung on him so suddenly and while what Blitz said was hurtful, Stolas wouldn't listen long enough to even hear that Blitz was trying to apologize for his outburst

[@neyaneazrune548]

Stolas never pressed Blitz to answer quickly, Blitz just jumped on the "oh, you're playing with me" idea to avoid talking about his true feelings.

[@Monkicos]

Fr People seem to forget that you're never entitled to someone's gratitude nor affection if you're the one that hurt them in the first place. He still thinks he's entitled to blitz's affection and gets pissy when he doesn't get it, refusing to even hear him out. Not to mention the way he controlled the entire conversation embodied the profile blitz accused him of being, as his rehearsed speech left no room for blitz to breathe, respond or even react before he moved onto the next point on his list. And when it didn't go his way because blitz is entitled to himslef, not stolas, he threw him out of the house.

[@CatalinaLinal7710]

Can't agree with that. I don't see any expectation from Stolas in the conversation that he'd only accept Blitz immediately being head over heels in love with him and happy and romantic. What Stolas drew the line at was his romantic feelings basically being mocked and then being screamed at and insulted. By all means, if Blitz had reacted with anything above turning Stolas words into role play this would have gone alot better, too. There is a massive difference between "I expect you to immediately love me for all eternity and leap into my arms, and that's all I'm accepting" and "I at least expected to not have my feelings be turned into a Sex joke by you".

After getting hurt so many times on the dating scene as well as getting hurt in the past in the friend department I can unfortunately relate to Blitz in expecting the worst out of everyone and thinking that you’ll never be good enough for someone.

Food for thought: Luna is the team's portal girl, and is actually pretty good at using the magic book. That kind of skill based job is probably pretty rare for a hellhound.

[@DragonGoddess18]

The ending was very sad,and I know that that was the point I can kinda see both sides even though I side with Stolas in this. Ever since the episode "Ozzie's",Stolas understood that he wasn't being fair to Blitz and the Asmodeus crystal was the starting point in that. He genuinely wants things to be fair and equal in their relationship. Blitz did have a point in that Stolas did treat him like a toy and was condescending. However,like I said, Stolas wants to change that and Blitz assuming the worst at the end, understandable or not, was a little too much. I hope that they eventually work things out (hopefully with a therapist)

[@EmmaPlayzRoblox]

It's hard for me to say who I side with here. Both were in the wrong in my opinion. Stolas dropped a nuke of a revelation on Blitz and didn't give him any time to process. Blitz was raised on the concept that royals didn't care about imps, and he's also been taught by his father and many others that he is unlovable, so he reacted by thinking that it was some roleplay. Stolas took this as a rejection and completely cut Blitz out of the conversation, not letting him have his say and explain and thus confirming to Blitz that he didn't see them as equals, possibly in part due to his upbringing. Blitz realized Stolas was being genuine but wouldn't listen to Blitz explain, he was mad that Stolas hadn't given him time to process and as everything he had been taught came crashing down, he lashed out. We've seen Stolas's affection for Blitz, but Stolas hasn't always shown it directly. To Blitz, the confession came out of nowhere and completely shattered everything he believed thus far, about royals, about this relationship, about himself, and he was immediately expected to give a yes or no answer when he himself probably didn't even know how he felt yet.

[@DragonGoddess18]

@@EmmaPlayzRoblox I don't disagree with this However, I don't really see what Stolas did as a "nuke". More along the lines of going 65mph on a freeway where the speed limit is 50mph: he WAS going fast but not so fast that the Flash would be jealous I don't want Blitz to be perfect (perfect characters are boring) however, him acting as if what Stolas just said as "an act/not a big deal" when it really was a big deal isn't really great on his part. These two need therapy,like yesterday

Analyzing blitzo you realize that he has three dominant problems 1)Inferiority complex 2)Avoidant attachment 3)filophobia Probably 1 and 2 were caused by his father (HDP) You also realize that his first reaction is to think that Stolas's love is a "joke" because he believes that no one feels genuine affection for him (not counting fizzaroli or loona) This man has a trauma 😢 Btw happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈
