Hey Georgina there's a theory that's really got me thinking, that Blitz was in relationship with Andreaphlus before meeting Veroskia and Stolas someone who pretended to love him and pulled the rug out from under him showing his true colors and looking at how Blitz acts it's makes sense his words and action speak of the relationship we haven't see in the show yet.

Stolas' drunken monologue about wanting someone to want him. These two were finally talking together and are both sharing their own vulnerable sides with each other... but they’ve hurt each other too much at this point to really appreciate it.

[@AnInsideJoke]

Something that really hurts, to me, is Stolas' answer after Blitzo exposes his vulnerabilities. Blitzø all but straight up asks Stolas "What do you see in me? Why do you 'love' me?" And Stolas....never actually answers him, but instead goes "You want to know what I want?..." and goes on his spiel about romance. Which is totally not what Blitzø was asking. Yes, there's a chance that it was just because he was drunk, but Stolas has shown to have a bad habit of staying too inside his own head/feelings to notice how his words and actions are affecting others (this isn't just me saying this, Vivziepop and the team have said in Tweets and even the video descriptions that this is something Stolas does). So, his whole bit about romantic relationships kind of gave the impression that Stolas is more in love with love, or at least, the idea of love, than any actual person, including Blitzø. Which, for someone with as much emotional baggage as Blitzø, would have been devastating to hear/realise...that anyone could have been in Blitzø's place, and that Stolas doesn't even actually know or want Blitzø himself, just a stand-in for a romance novel plot.

[@Princess_Farah786]

I completely feel the same same way as Stolas, all I ever wanted was to be loved and wanted but a lot of people are cruel

[@camilla_luong]

​@@AnInsideJokeThis all the way. And for someone like Blitz, he also has a complex about only being worth what he can provide. So that is basically being solidified to him. That he isn't (and therefore can't be) cared about for being him, but for giving Stolas his body.

[@toni2309]

​@@AnInsideJokeThat or not, Stolas doesn't know Blitz well, and is therefore in love with a fantasy of him. Which can be super devasting for someone if the fantasy doesn't turn out to be very much the person. So I wonder what happens later in the series.

[@MeloraCarabas]

@@AnInsideJoke Blitz might be kinda right with this though. Because how deep is love at first sight really? Did the ever did some real bonding? I'm afraid that Stolas is indeed only just in love with his idea of Blitz. Which doesn't go to say that there won't be any chances later on for them to actually really fall in love with the real versions of each other. Actually, I'm counting on it. Those moments will be golden!

[@pvtread5207]

I don't think anyone understands the weight and meaning of Verosika essentially handing Blitz his own heart on a plate. I think its her saying "here's your heart; it's been missing for sometime. Take it or leave it cause i don't want it"

[@biohazard9164]

[@austincde]

​@@biohazard9164yeah sounds like that, to see what he was missing. Like an expression of regret, which Blitz hasnt been able to convey at ALL until this party

[@immortes]

Well the phrase "Steal your heart" could be a metaphor for intense attraction and infuatuation. So in a way she's giving him his heart back as a reminder to love himself.

[@GregPrice-ep2dk]

Verosika's pain at being dumped after saying "I love you" to Blitz was made 10x worse b/c, as a succub*s, true intmacy is so much harder for her. And, regarding Stolas, he needs to see how his casual talking down to Blitz and other imps gives exactly the impression that Blitz sees.

[@seeleunit2000]

Exactly. Stolas has to work out his own problems too. That whole casual bigotry towards the Imps has got to go.

[@beccamoore2402]

The sad part is that Stolas probably doesn’t even realize that he does. It’s a good showcase of micro aggressions in a way: Stolas doesn’t look down on Blitz, but some comments he makes aren’t a great show of that

[@BeastRedAsh]

​@@beccamoore2402 Stolas was definitely taught to talk this way, judging by the s2 ep1. And whilst he might believe of not having arrogance towards imps as towards serving class as well even treating them more softly, than others, he still uses condescending language towards them, probably even without understanding that it doesn't sound nice for imps, who are being constantly looked down at by other creatures

[@TheRealSparkplugTheFox]

Blitzø desperately wants a relationship but he's far from ready for one. I've always said that Stoliz was going to crash and burn for a number of reasons, the abusive power dynamic with Stolas being above Blitzø likely didn't help while Blitzø is super guarded and aggressively avoident. Stolas learned and decided to even the scales and that absolutely freaked Blitzø out when he was already in a state of panic I call 'I can fix this' mode that Loona unintentionally set off. That kind of change so abruptly triggered him to lash out. Fun fact: The gift baskets Blitzø hands out are filled with cheese and hot sauce because that's Brandon Rodgers favorite snack. He'd often be eating them during meetings and recordings which made it into the show as a fun easter egg

[@falkner9072]

Cheese and hot sauce are a good combination

[@CornierBread]

Yeah I hope they tackle how Stolas is hypocritical and flawed too especially with some of his statements and he did give the wrong signals to Blitz aka “my impish little plaything” on top the fact he does have a subconscious prejudice towards imps whether he knows it or not. He can say he views Blitz equally but squeezing his imp servants contradicts that.

[@mstrom42]

I just realized that the ONLY person Blitzø is securely attached to is Fizz, and that was because he was securely attached to him/best friends with him before the fire. Which is why Blitzø got along fine with him in the Mammon special, I think. Huh. I think Fizz and his friendship is very important to helping Blitzø start to change for the better. He has a template of appropriate behavior - the way he was before, and Fizz who sees him for who he is and knows the best parts of him. His reconciliation with Fizzarolli was incredibly healing for him, I think. This'll help him in the long run!

[@icemagiciangh]

“What went wrong”. So much. So much from both people. Stolas’ “WHEN HAVE I EVER?!” at the beginning. You have. Many times, my friend.

[@nicholasmullins3693]

I can definitely see that. But can also see it being from the perspective of someone who has sheltered their whole life and didn't really know how to properly Express action, so he thought he was just doing little pet things that you do with your significant other and didn't realize they were coming across as demeaning. This is reinforced to me by the fact that he unwittingly treats the imps under his service as simple objects to be moved around. It's all he's ever known and he hasn't really had any meanings of looking at it any differently. So for him, it's not necessarily about the actions, it's about the intent. While I realize that's not how it is in real life, that doesn't change the fact that not everybody has this idealized guidebook of how to act with people.

[@simonbrowne1534]

@@nicholasmullins3693still doesn’t make it right. Yeah it’s not malicious, but this tendency he has is something pretty noticeable to somebody like Blitzø

[@JenjiJ]

I think there’s a difference between looking down on, and talking down on. Stolas has, like you said, talked down to Blitz SO many times, but Blitz is assigning intentions to Stolas when Stolas, although his heart is in the right place, he has a baffling lack of understanding that Blitzø has to live discriminated against by his class and identity Every Single Day. Blitzø, as we’ve seen throughout the show, is especially hyper-aware to it, let alone just the regular amount of talking-down-to that I think anyone could identity from their situation. Stolas hasn’t come from that upbringing so he can’t really imagine it, which isn’t inherently bad but it’s also not a valid excuse, Stolas DOES need to learn how Blitzø’s identity as an imp, and being raised in a family that used him for their own benefit, has massively affected Blitzø’s sense of self and how the world has wrongfully treated him as a result of his class/identity. And on both sides, they need to move past their insecurities and accept themselves for who they are, ++ being able to ACTUALLY communicate (which they at least started to do in this episode)

[@AnInsideJoke]

It's not just Blitzø he does it to either, but imps in general. Hell, he even did it just a few minutes before during the Striker argument. Stolas straight up says that Blitzø "couldn't be bothered to come help" him, completely ignoring that Blitzø sent Moxxie and Millie in as a whole team to help him. Millie is even stronger of a hand-to-hand fighter than Blitzø, and Moxxie is better with guns than Blitzø (not that Blitzø is a slouch in either, however), making them stronger and more effective than if Blitzø has gone by himself. And most people in that situation would have been fine with just knowing that ANY help was sent, that they were thinking of them. Stolas wasn't. It's a direct repeat of his lines from the Loo Loo Land episode, where he said *straight to Moxxie and Millie's faces* that they weren't good enough for him, and that he wanted Blitzø. It's been at least 6 months in-universe since then, and Stolas not only *still* hasn't stopped this behavior, he remains completely oblivious to even *having* this be one of his faults.

[@atozatiny]

@rach3092 But the argument can be told that Stolas doesn't realize it's something that's hurting Blitz. And he's not going to come to those conclusions himself. Of course he's not going to think he's done anything when in his perspective, he hasnt. It's not fair to expect him to take accountability when no one has even corrected him for him to realize it. Can't fix what you don't know is broken.

[@tatsumisakamai5372]

Sorry, but Blitz giving out his favorite snack as an “apology” was such a cool detail. Cheese and hot sauce.

[@OhNoTheFace]

When you are bad at reading others, go with what you know I suppose

[@RockCandy718]

Can we talk more about love languages? Stolas’ way of showing affection is to use pet names, to be silly but doting, and use baby talk. (Probably because he never got that from his parents when he was little) Blitzo of course sees it as disrespect, but Stolas might not mean it that way. The social power imbalance weighs heavily on Blitzo, and his love language seems to be a lot more aggressive and dominant. Makes me wonder how compatible they actually are…

[@BrokensoulRider]

They're not compatible, but they can make compromises to find a middle ground that makes them compatible. There's the obvious sexual attraction. But beyond one day as children, they never spent much actual 'together' time with one another and get to know one another.

[@DimmuDeer]

I think that Blitzo's love language will turn out to be words of affirmation. He's definitely only using aggression to hide something. Stolas absolutely is capable of giving that to him, but does not understand that's what he's been missing. After all, Blitz seems so dominant it looks like he has natural self esteem, but that's not the case.

[@hadrianhexe9603]

@@BrokensoulRider Tbh, i think they are compatible, the issue is the circumstances surrounding them, Blitz sees Stolas as a prince, someone who is utterly unattainable and that's what leads to him looking down on him and Stolas is social inept due to his upbringing so he doesn't understand how his flirting can come off. If they both understood where the other was coming from, i'd say they'd be pretty compatible.

[@revenantravings]

Thank you for having a nuanced take, it's so frustrating not being able to go 5 comments in on ANY video talking about this episode without running into people acting like Stolas was the only problem to ever exist, that his every act doomed them and it was his lack of respect throughout (everyone forgot Ozzie's the moment it was convenient) and it's really refreshing seeing a sympathetic breakdown of Blitz's issues and thought processes that doesn't just devolve into pointing fingers

[@Akanisen049]

On top of all those great points we also have to keep in mind that someone was keeping Blitz and Fizz rom even considering contacting eachother. We don't know who yet, there's a few options (imo Blitz' dad is most likely), I hope we get some answers to that. I also hope during Blitz' self improvement arc that he confronts his dad and all the shitty things he did to him.

[@Daralyndk]

I like the details the showrunners put in, like for example Verosica calling Blitz BlitzO with emphasis on the "O" that makes him angry, but the moment he acnowledged his mistake and seriously thought about it she called him "Blitz" it shows that she still cares and is willing to put bad things aside in favor of fairness

[@Nitrinoxus]

Hearing Blitzø actually _admit_ to his self-hatred felt *_huge_* in the moment. We've seen that self-loathing on display in all the photos he's redacted himself from, but he's never been able to let himself be vulnerable enough to admit it to anyone else -- he acts like he's been conditioned to see that kind of vulnerability as being a _bad_ thing (which, having _met_ Cash, may well be the case!), and so consistently avoids letting down those defenses and gets agitated when he's seen in that space. We even see how Blitzø's moments of vulnerability can be beneficial for him in his conversation with Verosika. The instant he let himself admit that he _wants_ to change, to stop being the awful person who's hurt so many people, she actually _softens_ a bit: cracks a smile, gives him some unironically good relationship advice, and perhaps most significantly, _she calls him 'Blitzø'._ Up until then, she'd been spitefully deadnaming him, but in that moment, it's as if she decided maybe this Blitzø guy sitting next to her could be a better person than the Blitzo she used to know. I do hope we see Blitzø allow himself to be vulnerable more in future episodes. There's moments in the trailer that suggest he _will,_ but it'd be a _huge_ step in his development if he allows himself to show someone else that fractured core of his and is supported and comforted when he does -- from what we've been shown, Millie's the next person who'll see him at his lowest, and she's got a _lot_ of experience being a comforting, grounding influence on high-maintenance, neurotic guys trying to work through their traumas.

[@rat9593]

He did kind of let slip his self hatred in his conversation with Fizz S2 Episode 6 when he says "I mean its all my fault. I'd hate me too. I do hate-" and then he gets cut off by getting attacked but it's obvious that he meant to end it by saying me. But I also agree with what else you're saying, just thought I'd point it out because I've been rewatching the scene I just quoted over and over again.

[@miyamiyadorada]

This episode was so sad, especially because people are quick in taking sides, when in these cases it is a mess for both sides. These two suck in communication, mixed with the fact that their conflict & trauma response are totally opposite and that they don't even know their lives in a more intimate matter to know the why for what they do or act... It just ended in both being hurt. Ironically they can BE can each other need, but they must get their shit together, a really good healing separately, and proper talk, to even have a normal start to a relationship being a friendship and maybe a romantic one.

[@CelticMagician]

THIS! Precisely this! Sorry, I've been finding it so frustrating with people picking sides with these characters, because narratively speaking, the whole thing was/is a mess...and this is the first step in resolving that overall conflict. I don't know what is going to happen with these two in the end. I sincerely hope for the better, but that said, it's clear to me that the writers know what they want to do with these characters and they have a direction they are wanting to go with exploring their potential relationship, be it romantic or not. I am honestly down for the ride...the painful, gut-wrenching ride in all of its glory. But that is strictly my own opinion here...I know others feel differently and that's okay too.

[@miyamiyadorada]

@@CelticMagician RIGHT?! WHY PEOPLE DO THAT?! Of course Stolas never realized he was being condescending to Blitz in the past, he was raised in a privileged and elitist environment, but maybe he never thought of himself as someone as bad as the rest of the royals, we tend to do that when we want to make distance of the bad aspect of our families, but the tendencies are still there, but who could tell him that? Nobody has ever taught him this, ignorant privileged people that lack self awareness like Stolas, he NEED someone to tell them when something is wrong, we have seen how when he did something wrong he apologized in an instant and reflects his mistakes. The same thing with Blitz, he hurt so many people that maybe even love him enough to allow him to open up to them, but he run away when they tried to get to close, even the one night stand, nobody is that hurt for a one they sleep maybe once, but maybe was the way he ended the things? Blitz has a tendency of being very hurtful with his words, because he thinks is better that way, yet he's so loving with his daughter, yes he has a problem of respecting her boundaries, but he takes her because he knew what it was feeling leftover and unwanted. People tend to forget that the reason why the full moon deal was sexual in first place was because Blitz opened that door when he wanted to book, but Stolas continued it, both took this too far, both make this messy, both ended up cashing feelings... This is not an easy discussion, it's a very hard and painful side for both, because news flash Blitz&Stolas were hurting each other without noticing in different ways. Pain isn't a competition, both traumas are valid, these two have been victims of such horrible circumstances, one with such unhealthy life home that only makes him feel that he needs to prove his worth for everything, for later that this accident produces a crushing guilt of basically destroying his family&home and, creating this mentality of "I'm poison everyone is better without me", and the other was trapped in an arranged marriage (it's sad that Stella was also trap in these situations but choose to take her frustrations with Stolas, that's at least what I think, not excusing the abuse, but it happens, misery loves company after all) that ended being toxic while he worked so hard to make it look like a happy one for the most important person in his live, his beloved daughter (he did such good job that she didn't even knew their parents never loved each other) and he was so alone, not even a friend for company while going through this. But they know these things about each other? NO, but how could they? These two never ask or talk about it.

[@dorkenspache8353]

I hope at some point later down the line we actually get Stolas addressing his issues, because it's pretty obvious from the set up he gets WAY too caught up in his feelings and daydreams about what he wants with Blitz and is oblivious to the reality of what is going on. I'm pretty sure that's the clinical definition of delusional, but I also think it's important to look back at how Stolas was raised to see why he has these delusions. He grew up in an environment with no actual friends for him to interact with, meaning he never really developed proper social skills or how to properly read people. There's also the fact that, unlike every other imp in Hell, he's viewed Blitz as an equal, which makes him blind to just how classist his tendencies are and how degrading his behavior and words pre-Ozzie's comes across. Like it isn't just Blitz's issues causing this relationship to not work, it's Stolas' ignorance as well. And Stolas was ABOUT to self reflect before Verosika and Vortex dissuade him, which also highlights an issue of Verosika's party basically being a horrible way to work through past trauma. Keep reminding yourself once a year about a traumatic person in your life instead of taking your time to grieve then moving on. Even Stolas seems visibly uncomfortable by it at first

[@AB-fs8jl]

The opposite of love is not hatred, it's not caring at all. Hot-damn that's a profound statement. How easy it is to mistake a loved ones harsh criticism for a sign that they don't care. If they truly didn't, they wouldn't go through the effort to criticize at all.

One thing I've noticed is that in the song Stolas sings during the party he sort of acknowledges that he missed a lot of signs; "What if it's all on me for missing every sign and every glance and every turn.". However, we also hear Verosika and Vortex singing in the background denying that it was all his fault; "No, no, no, he's a motherf###er". He says that maybe there's something he can learn from Blitzo and again Verosika and Vortex repeat the same line. I don't think it's *all* Stolas' fault but I think he recognizes that he must've missed something, that he must've done something wrong as well, but those around him who just met him don't know that. To us it might be obvious but to him he might not notice. For instance, he might not fully recognize what he's said to Blitzo is offensive or what he's done is taken as a microagression, or maybe he just thinks Blitzo is into whatever he's doing when in actuality he's sick of it. Sure, maybe Stolas should've clarified and asked "hey, this is okay, right?" but that also lands on Blitzo to clearly state "hey, can you not do that, I don't like you calling me that" when Stolas clearly keeps missing more subtle cues. Idk man, clear communication seems to be both of their worst enemies plus low self worth.

This episode of Helluva Boss hit me pretty hard because Blitz is acting like I did when I was younger. I was abused by my family and bullied at school. I still have the trust issues, but I am no longer self sabatoging my relationships. It's not easy and it takes a lot of work to heal from that trauma.

[@RaptieFeathers]

"I don't want to be like this anymore"-I said those words to myself 15 years ago. I was 25 at the time. It's been hard work, getting better. But... The most important step one can take isn't the first, it's the _next one._ And the next. And the next, day after day. (To anyone reading this: don't hesitate to reach out to a therapist. If you've tried and it's gone poorly, don't be disheartened-it's okay to look for another one. It took me countless tries to find one that worked for me, but it's been so very worth it.)

[@EBThisThat]

I hadn't really noticed before, but Blitz is really calling out Stolas' hypocrisy. Honestly, they're *both* in the wrong and both need healing on their own before attempting to try at a secure relationship. In the state they're in currently, they're far too toxic to be together.

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

“Apology Tour” hurt so much to watch, but it was also so good and at least Blitz had his wakeup call to try and be better.🥺💕 I’m still really worried though about how bad the fallout between Stolas and Octavia is going to be based on the trailer.😥🥺 I do find it funny that Blitz said he apologized Fizz so hard he cried when in actuality he did the crying.😅

When Blitzo lashed out when Stolas asked him if he has ever said sorry to anyone, I was shocked by what he said. Blitzo always struck me as someone who lived in the moment. He's not the type to think long-term or consider possibilities. It was kind of cool to see him be so introspective.

Would love to see a follow up video on Verosika. She was very much vindicated in this episode by sharing her side of the story, but she's still so vindictive that she holds a grudge and badly needs better coping skills, especially with her alcoholism. As someone who escaped a bad relationship, I know what it's like to carry a weird guilt where you still feel like the bad guy for holding onto that anger, no matter how justified it is. It's a dangerous way for us to keep letting "gone" people continue to hurt us by lashing out at ourselves, and that can very much use a therapist's insight.

[@yamato6114]

I think the song pretty much summed it up for her. She doesn’t have any more feelings for Blitzo, but she still has deep seated issues that go past him.

[@zackmarkham4240]

As much as I wanted Blitz to go after Stolas, to put effort into showing he actually cares and live up to what Stolas wants... Blitz needs therapy before he gets into another romantic relationship, seriously. As much as this was heartbreaking, it was needed. Stolas will be there, we all know it. Blitz, go get help... if Hell even has therapists. And you have a couple friends, Fizz and Ozzie, who can get you ANY therapist you want or need. You also have a whole support system that cares for you that won't let you give up or run away. Millie, Moxxie, Loona, Fizz, and Ozzie. Hell, Octavia might even help. She didn't DISLIKE Blitz and she loves seeing her dad happy, and she knows he's happy with Blitz. Side note; I love how Verosika didn't even react to Blitz being at that party. She knows no one hates Blitz more than he hates himself. He deserves to be there more than anyone else.

I can't wait to see those tears of joy. I hope Vivzie gives us a good helping of Stolitz fluff before the show finally ends.

[@Claudia_Crimson_585]

3:54 i think Blitz was trying to sound indifferent and sarcastic but instead Blitz said something that hurt himself. Blitz' body is against him and i don't think he realizes what's coming out of his mouth sometimes, he just explodes everything out because he repressed his feelings for so long. This is why you shouldn't repress your feelings because one day you'll just explode on someone that doesn't deserve it. Blitz' mood swings are so hard to watch, poor guy.

[@regulusmasamuneryuku8657]

The writing for Hellava Boss is so good. I love how they take characters who act a certain way toward the main cast, and a few episodes later your opinion completely shifts because you find out why or see a new side of people. They did it with Fitz and Ozzie and now they are doing it with Veroska. Ive seen some hot takes that say Blitzø or Stolas are abusing each other. And. No. See Valentino. But they are broken people. And the broken edges of themselves cut the other person, and themselves. Anywho. I really like this series. I've got my own mental health struggles. It's been helping me look at things differently

[@AmyTheArtist9]

Blitz' apology baskets are interesting cuz it's sort of the opposite of what you said? Like, they're personalized, but for HIS preference, and not for the recipients? It's hot sauce and cheese, which he's been shown to snack on--something HE likes. It's definitely a choice to do that and not an actually generic basket or flowers.. Not sure of its implications though. 🤔

[@averywho6430]

Something that really sets your videos apart, and something I love seeing, is how you talk about the characters and universe as if they were real people and not just scripted entities. It’s easy to just brush it off and be like “oh I’m sure the writers will just ensure that they get together in the end, so all of it doesn’t matter.” You talk about it as if it’s actually happening and it’s up to the characters themselves to fix the problems they created, not the writers. Makes it feel more immersive, all these characters could use a therapist.

Im not gonna lie this last episode really hit me hard. Whenever love starts to form in my life I always end up pushing them away. I always end up self sabotaging. I really hope it works out for blitz and stolas.

I'm glad I found your videos. I have mental health issues, BPD and PTSD trauma, and is really hard even with medication to deal with it. Watching Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel, I am finding myself in certain characters and traits such as self destruction, avoidance of emotions and social ties, avoiding love etc and is good to see your analysis of it. Obviously this isn't a replacement for seeing someone but also helps explain a few things to me.

I get that it’s frustrating for Stolas to not read the signs when it’s needed, but tbf, he’s always been a caregiver even when he suffers for it for years.

The intensity of Blitzø's disorganized attachment style, self hatred, emotional outbursts, going through hoops to avoid abandonment, bouts of hypers*xuality, and overall sh*tty childhood leads me to believing Blitzø has BPD. The fact Blitzø's character was closely inspired by Bojack Horseman makes me believe this as well. Blitzø is the BPD to Bojack's NPD, both closely related cluster B personality disorders that stem from trauma.

Personally, I can really relate to Blitz. While I probably have much more self-awareness, don't personally hate myself so much and have learnt to keep my behaviour in check, I really know how it feels to get constant microaggressions and then have someone be like "I didn't know you thought so low of me" when you call it out, or generally just feeling like...like things can't happen, generally, because of such different social standing and lived reality. Honestly, it sucks and I can understand Blitz there...and am happy to see that represented in media.

[@icemagiciangh]

Blitz needs to keep his positive change going. Stolas needs to realize how he’s wronged Blitz as well. Verosika needs to let go. Everyone needs therapy

[@cablefeed3738]

Stolis could not change at all and still be a fantastic person. He doesn't need to change.

[@adamnemo42]

​@@cablefeed3738 Stolas is absolutely terrible at listening to people and just assuming things until it's too late. We saw that in Episode Two with Octavia. Stolas 100% didn't realize how fucked up his treatment of Blitzø and their relationship was until basically Ozzie's. He ignored Blitzø's very obvious feelings and never really tried to actually talk things out. Even when he tried to make things better he gave Blitzø no time to process and when Blitzø was misunderstanding things just decided to end things without wanting to talk about it further. Now I understand why he is the way he is, and they should not be together at this point at all, but Stolas was an equal partner in this trainwreck and if he doesn't change or improve that will continue to be a problem for himself and others going forward. Oh, we also can't forget how he's pretty clearly classist/racist and how much that casual classism/racism affected Blitzø. I'm not even saying he's consciously bigoted. He's just grown up in an environment that's instilled it into him so much that he doesn't even realize it. As can be seen by his many demeaning comments towards Blitzø and other imps and the way he treats Pringles.

[@saralovelace7219]

Respectfully, I have an alternate thought on Blitz letting Stolas go dance instead of keeping him there. I see where it could be avoidant behavior, but I actually think it was one of Blitz's more selfless moments. He's just heard Stolas pour his heart out about just wanting someone to *want him*, to care for him and show genuine interest in him. And Blitz has just tried....and failed.... to do it. He reached, but could not yet bring himself to cross the divide. And then here comes someone who does *exactly that*. Notices Stolas, shows care, compliments him in a non-creepy way, shows interest and wants to spend time with him. And Stolas looks to *Blitz* for permission. He could have said no, and Stolas would have stayed; he has to know that now after what's been said. But he *lets him go*. He doesn't stand in the way of Stolas having a chance to feel what he desires most, because Blitz recognizes that he can't give that to him. Not yet. If he had said no, not only would he be a huge hypocrite, it would also very much imply that he cares less about Stolas' happiness than he does possessing him and his heart. So I was SO very proud of Blitz in that moment. 😊

[@pvtread5207]

This episode honestly is the first episode that left me in tears tbh. I imidiatly jumped to Blitz's defense because I've been hurt in relationships and had an abusive "parent" stepwitch in my case who i haven't talked to honestly since 2016. The year my dad died. She was bad enough that i now actually have an aversion to women in general.

[@catherineaustin2]

Would it be possible for you to do a video about Stolas, from his perspective, all the things he's going through, what are his diagnoses, his flaws, also something I've noticed, does he even have any friends? Is his only friend, his only connection to the outside world Blitz? That's definitely not healthy. Stolas needs more friends.

[@HannahBanina]

I’ve been looking forward to this video since the episode came out. This episode made me cry more than any previous episode, it _consistently_ makes me cry, and the worst part is that I still find Blitzø the more relatable one between him and Stolas. That’s the real pain of watching _Helluva Boss:_ sympathizing with such a self-destructive protagonist. If Blitzø were a song, he’d probably be “And If I Did, You Deserved It”, now with a dash of “Against The Kitchen Floor” (both by Will Wood). But he’s such a special little guy. I don’t even think everyone at that party necessarily slept with him, because I don’t even live in the same reality as he does and I still might possibly consider attending if I were invited, because if he ever did anything that hurt me that much, I wouldn’t want to suffer alone either. It’s not like I’d *_want_* to be mad at this badass, scrappy, circus brat underdog; he’s incredibly special to me and I love him and want to know him. I’ve hated myself a lot, too. I just want Blitzø to finally be happy, whatever that takes. Also semi-spoilers but not really since he was in the Season 2B trailer, but a new Goetia character named Vassago is supposed to show up later this season. His namesake has clear vision of things past and future and can locate things that have been lost. I bring this up because those powers honestly sound like they’d be really helpful for a potential therapist friend to have. I look forward to meeting him. Lovely analysis as usual ❤

This was (so far) the best breakdown of the attachment style I have heard and appreciate your insight ❤

[@r0ckmom]

I always love your analysis because it makes me feel like I’m not reading into the shows too much. As an example I have NPD so it was refreshing to see you explain narcissism in a way that didn’t demonize people who suffer from it, and actually explains the emotional struggle and self hatred that can be the root cause of it all. I also have BPD though, and I see a lot of my own emotions and behavior in how Blitzo feels and acts in his relationships, and I’m not the first to notice either. I was wondering what you thought about that interpretation? Without “diagnosing” him, of course

[@suseldusel1794]

I always appreciate your videos so much. Your takes on these characters are so insightful, and you really pick up on the nuance of these characters.

I love Verosika in this episode so much, she has such a big heart and wants to help people cope and bc of that is unable to understand that the copying mechanisms she is enabling may not be all that healthy. Blitz is in his 30's, some of the people at the party where barely even flings (Dennis) and yet they still harvor and fester a hatred/care so deep that they throw a party every year. I feel like after a bit, is more important to let go. In my opinion it fits her well as someone who is stated to have an alcohol addiction, she probably drinks to cope too.

[@CharleeRed]

As much as I realize that both Stolas and Blitzø screwed up and have genuine apologies to give and work/growing to do, I was proud of Stolas for how he stood up for himself at the beginning when he told Blitzø he was no longer comfortable with how he was being spoken to. I really hope we get to see the other side of their traumas, and that the rest of the series is them healing.

[@senaruryuin2773]

TBF, Stolas HAS looked down on Blitzø, and other imps- he just doesn't realize that he's been doing it constantly. The ones that live in the Stolas household are frequently mistreated, including by Stolas himself. Stolas talks down to Blitzø very casually with a lot of language that to him is just how things are but, from a place of high standing, seems like nothing at all. For Blitzø, not so much. (I'm under a minute in so I don't know yet if that gets covered later xD)

Thank you so much for this video. I enjoy all of your videos (and cosplays) but I needed this one and the timing couldn't be better. I've got PTSD from my childhood because my father and grandmother not only expected me to be the quiet, well behaved, perfect smiling son, but also used me as their emotional punching bag. My father and I have reconciled, and he admitted he was hard on me because he was envious of me. My mom and grandpa were my safe space, but I still felt more like a burden or disappointment. I still do, because I'm disabled and living off my parents' kindness. And I just started isolating myself and not asking for help because I didn't feel worthy of taking up space. But lately I've been trying to fix that, and even talked to my mom about taking steps to change that mentality and behavior. And this video gave me a better framework and vocabulary to look at my situation and work on it. Thank you again ❤

[@Br3rry.hellaverse]

It’s also worth noting that the cake at the party was modeled to look like blitz so she quite literally gave him his own heart, wich I interpreted as she finally letting go and getting over him because she is giving him his heart back. Verosika clearly wasn’t over blitz yet as she literally says that in her songs and also throws a party about hating him? If you vividly hate your ex you’re clearly not over them so I like to see this as her finally finishing up with him. Maybe I’m overinterpreting this, but I like to see it as symbolism^^
