I SHIP BLITZIKA! BLITZIKA FOREVER

[@black-shadow-eclipse]

I mean, Blitz is probably responsibly for the death of his mother. How does someone feel, causing the lose of one of the most important people in his life? And I don't wanna know how he was treated by his father and sister after Tilla's death. He lost the only other person he was close to, Fizz, because of his actions. Blitz hates himself for what happend in his past, destroying his family, even trough it was just an accident. He's afraid to mess new relationships up and lose them again. Before everything, he has to start loving himself first.

[@andrewsung3965]

if anything, we can thank the father for influencing blitz to who he is now.

[@andrewsung3965]

if cash buckzo is alive currently, then this gives blitz the chance to stand up to him and rubbing it in his face of the state he is even after cutting off him and fizz from his life.

[@HelluvaHazbinfan33]

Honestly I partially blame his dad for it because he always seemed to have looked down on Blitz and would find ways to purposefully hurt him which led to the incident happening and him being on bad terms with him

[@someguy7174]

I mean Blitzø probably only feels that he doesn’t deserve to be loved because of his actions causing the loss of someone who loved him and he loved. He feels he doesn’t deserve love, or to be loved.

[@tessablol309]

I don't think he hates love , I think he's scared of it. He thinks so low of himself that eventually everyone gets close too will leave. So instead of waiting for it to happen he distances himself first. He still craves love so substitute it with lust and transaction.

[@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982]

Maybe Blitz can't stand feeling love because he has never been loved in his life, the only person who truly loves him is his mother Tilla, but ever since the circus accident, his mother is killed and his sister Barbie Wire doesn't want anything to do with him. What's worse is Fizzarolli being injured during that accident and the whole rivalry thing happened all because of Cash Buckzo. Blitz and Verosika dated before, but when she admitted she loves him, he just bailed on her. Maybe the reason is why he did this to Stolas and Verosika is because he's so scared of making new relationships after everything that happened in his life.😨😥

[@Samurai-es5wh]

Blitz is easily one the most tragic characters in the show. The fact that his first crush was maimed by the very same fire that killed his mom has definitely skewed his view on relationships. At least blitz has fizz to confide in when he's in need of comfort. I do hope that verosika will pay blitz some visits from time to time to see his progress.

[@callmeitoig]

I don't feel like I can handle a romantic and vulnerable relationship. I've been told a lot that I'm in a low league and whenever someone tells me they have a crush on me, it feels like a lie as when I get really attached to someone, I get rejected. It makes me feel like I'm incapable of romance or a relationship with anyone.

[@rebecca_rh]

The first step is to love yourself more. Just so you know, people don’t lie when they tell you they love you, because it takes a lot of guts already to admit one’s own feelings, so they really mean it.

[@callmeitoig]

@@rebecca_rh But don't some people do it just to take the mick or make someone feel bad about themselves because the perpetrator has their own problems?

[@rebecca_rh]

@@callmeitoig sometimes yes. That’s why I always believe is healthy to build a strong frienship based on trust and care with a person before (maybe) pursuing a romantic relationship with them. Most times you don’t even expect it really. That’s how i got with the love of my life and i really wish that to everyone. Then you’ll know you truly can trust them : )

@@callmeitoig thank you so much ❤️ I really hope you will find it as well, i’ve waited long but it’s worth the wait, so don’t lose hope allright? I wish you all the best 🫂

[@someguy7174]

If Blitzø never had a dad, his life, the way he looks at things would be so much better. Blitzø feels he doesn’t deserve to be loved because of his mom. She loved him and he loved her. He accidentally killed someone he loved as much as they loved him. He pushes himself to believe that if he lets someone know he loves them and they let him know that they love him too that history will have that chance of repeating. It kind of already is with Striker trying to kill Stolas.

[@EasternFantasy13]

I actually don’t think Blitz feels the way he does about elites because he was burned by someone. It’s all because of his father’s conditioning and the accident. The accident has left Blitz thinking that he just ruins people and makes their lives worse. So he refuses to let anyone love because he’s convinced they deserve better than him.

[@cryam6428]

Another possibility is as many others brought up is lingering trauma from the circus fire/Blitz's father. That moment of tragedy came from when he put his feelings on the line at Fizz's birthday and cost him so much that Blitz may have associated being emotionally vulnerable as dangerous. So dangerous that he thinks self-sabotaging and scaring someone away under his own control is the better outcome. And that can also be what made Stolas special. He thought Stolas was invulnerable.

[@bahesb2419]

Blitzø is kinda like bojack horseman. Both wish to gain love and acceptence from the people around them, both had a horrible parent that played a role in the person they came to be, both screwed over a close friend(at least acidentilly in Blitzø's case) and both try to justify their behaviour when they both know they are indeed the one at fault. The difference i see is that Blitzø at least has more redeeming qualities then bojack and is slowely learning to become a better person.

[@falconeshield]

Blitz is a demonic imp, sympathetic or not. Bojack being compared to a guy like Blitz says a lot about Bojack.

[@randomperson-ko1fr]

​@falconeshield especially since bojack is a worse person lol

[@italkaboutthings]

this is an extremely good take i love this

[@alexisfox6366]

You know i didn't really think of bojack horseman when it comes to what character is similar to blitz honestly i thought of rick from rick and morty because of there one similarity being that they both push away people that get to close because of a bad experience for blitz it would be the time that he was indirectly responsible for his friend being a cripple and his mom dying for rick it would be the death of his daughter and wife

[@Beatmeater87]

Horse family guy

[@l0rdapophis]

Did not expect to get attacked today 😅 The difference between Blitzø and I is that I actually ended up being right about all of them 😅

[@hurin1]

A further take away that we can get from Apology Tour is that the bulk of Hell is probably more in line with somewhat normal human relations. If the demons that Blitz had interaction with resulted in this much damage as a result of his actions then the expectation is much more in line with someone having a more caring relationship. Blitz is like a hair trigger right when a relationship starts to move into something real. When people are the most exposed. So Blitz exploding at the first sign of love tells us that love is common in Hell. But that Blitz and Stolas are anomalies that resulted from particular family structures.

[@pancakes8670]

I actually like the subversion that the demons of Hell are also just trying to live normal lives like everyone else. It's not the demons that make Hell suck, it's the circumstances that makes it suck.

[@hurin1]

@@pancakes8670 I have been trying to sort out what the rules of Heaven and Hell are in Viv's universe. And I think she is playing games with the audience in keeping them in the dark about it. It starts out similar to the Christian version of Heaven and Hell. Heaven is for the good people and Hell for the evil people. And Hell is forever. But Charlie's idea that you can redeem people in Hell and get them into Heaven is more in line with Judaism. Jews believe wicked people go to Gehenna and are punished. This eventually purifies them and then they transition to Paradise. But in Viv's world we don't see Demons assigned to punishing people and there is no mention of it. Instead what seems to have gotten Sir Pentious into Heaven was nothing more than therapy. They helped him overcome his Social Anxiety disorder and trust issues. And he was able to make friends, develop empathy, and even fall in love. They gave him his humanity that he never found on his own in Life. As near as I can figure Charlie is doing what Lucifer was supposed to have been doing with the sinners. But Lucifer's pride got in the way and he took their failing personally. That and he probably had the Angel's idea that Hell was for evil people. Thus he left the sinners to rot in Hell with no Hope. Until Charlie showed up and showed him hope wasn't gone. I think the Overlords came about because Lucifer did nothing to rule over the Sinners. He wanted nothing to do with them. He busied himself with the rest of Hell. Bit ignored the sinners. And while there were some Overlords that had the interests of the sinners in mind (eg Zestial and Carmilla) most of them were more predatory. And thus their rise in power just made Hell more like Hell.

[@persephoneblack888]

I'm excited to see if they explore Stolas' issues because he has a bunch that are on display. Just like Blitz has a ton of toxic issues. Stolas jumped so quickly into the arms of that other imp. All it took was a little affection and this can be a problem too.

[@yamato6114]

I think Stolas’ issue is the opposite. While Blitzo distances, Stolas clings. Think about it - Stolas grew up a lonely individual. His father couldn’t even be bothered to remember his son’s name. And as an adult he was married off to an abusive, narcissistic wife who gets off on tormenting him. Stolas comes off as someone who’s so desperate for a connection that he’ll go with anyone who’s willing to give it to him.

[@Cheetahcat-1128]

Blitz get so much hate from everyone because he screwed them all over but they all never knew his reason as he keep them away from the truth, the real reason he pushed them away is because he doesn't want them to get hurt or killed like what happened at the circus as blitz said it was a truly a accident.

[@MikeInOregon]

When the people who claim to love you are the ones who do the most to hurt you, you tend to gravitate towards people who only want you around because you’re useful. Then you realize that apathy is as bad as hate, give up, and adopt a dog.

[@Wandergirl108]

See, I had very loving parents growing up, and still do, but my internalization of the idea that I could never be loved came from constant rejection from my peers. Different causes aside, I also fall into the trap of needing to feel useful because no one would want me around if I didn't give them something, though I tend to latch on to someone who claims to love me rather than push them away. As for Blitzø, keep in mind that it's not just his father's abuse, it's that, when he was about to confess his feelings for Fizz, he accidentally maimed Fizz and killed his mother. People are bringing up the trauma of feeling like he killed his mother and maimed his best friend, but what I'm not seeing mention of is that that event is also directly tied to his attempt to confess his feelings to his first love, meaning that romantic feelings will always be associated with the worst moment of his life in his mind. I'm still not a hundred percent convinced Blitzø was hurt by a royal he slept with in the past, but I'll accept it if that happens; but I do think his self-sabotage stems from his childhood, not a relationship he had later in life.

[@blatherskitenoir]

I'm going with 1) he was told he was an unwanted failure through most of his childhood, 2) his love being weaponized against him, and 3) those who loved him without ulterior motives suffering horrible ends. So being told "I love you" = they want something from me, or something bad is going to happen to them.

[@madziin]

Thank you helluva boss has been the only thing on my mind and I needed more content

[@justsomestranger4894]

I will admit, I'm kinda disappointed you didn't mention the possibility of Blitzø suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder As he fits a lot of the symptoms, including: Fear of Abandonment Idolising people, then pushing them away (Splitting) Reckless Behaviour Identity Disturbance Intense Emotions that change rapidly. May have Chronic feelings of Emptiness at times Not to mention, Blitzø has a clear pattern of intense & unstable relationships Blitzø has 6, maybe 7 symptoms of this disorder You only need 5 to be officially diagnosed by a licensed psychiatrist

[@CartoonUniverse]

It’s an interesting idea but I don’t tend to explore anyone having a disorder unless it’s explored on screen first. While it can be fun to diagnose and even be intentional by the writers, I just don’t like boxing characters into those labels.

[@justsomestranger4894]

@@CartoonUniverse That's quite understandable. I just feel that, as someone who has the same disorder, I do see a lot of myself in Blitzø. Including his recklessness & unstable relationships

[@brucem7049]

This is highly possible, at least disorganized attachment style though for sure

[@jesshutchinson4880]

I thought the same when watching the epsiode. Having a few loved ones with BPD and doing my Masters in the Mental Health field, to me, Blitzø's personality and behaviour definitely suggested he could have BPD. But I also agree with the content creator that it is better not to label a character with any type of disorder, unless it is directly addressed within the show or by Vivziepop themselves.

[@theawsomeauger2063]

Ever since I was a kid on the spectrum I’ve been treated differently, lots of kids just didn’t want to be around me or don’t treat me seriously like anyone else. After getting into the dating world I’ve experienced this too. I’ve been led on, and treated like a second option. Those that were interested in me ended up leaving me due to me saying the wrong things and not acting like an ideal partner cause of my stunted social skills, and they get sick of me. Sometimes I just leave others because I see things in them about me that are considered undesirable and I can’t handle that as well as scared that I’ll do something again that’ll make them uncomfortable. Sometimes I just think I’m not capable at all of maintaining a serious relationship and that I was born this way and there’s nothing I can do about it.

[@stevietutwiler2531]

As someone with Borderline Personality Disorder i relate immensely to Blitz. He shows every sign of BPD and is such a complex character because of it. It’s nice to see BPD represented so well in a show and i honestly can’t wait to see him grow as a character.

[@Kumori90]

The amazing thing, you can see in helluva boss and most cartoons, is how you can see the animation, and illustration getting better! Its amazing, just seeing the artists and animators get better! The beginning of season 1 (not including the pilot) looks like a draught of the actual show! Full moon, is so well shaded, and drawn! Also, how do imps live with those horns? Especially buckzo! How does he sleep!? How does he walk through doors!? Just H O W !!!?!???!😮😵‍💫

[@geardog24]

Maybe it’s time for Blitz to say sorry to the imp in the mirror.

[@MrWarners14]

Losing his mother and his relationship with Fizz over a genuine accident likely has played a part in his self-hatred. Blitz is a deeply flawed but also a tragic character. The poor guy can never catch a break. His downward spiral in the 2nd season will likely bring a reconstruction in the 3rd season, allowing him to redeem himself and give himself love that he needed for a long time. At least, I hope so.

[@shiramonderer]

I feel so bad for him 😔🥺 poor Blitz... This episode reminds me of darker times in my life this is such a horrible feeling to get such confirmation in the face that so many people hate you. It's enough to give you social anxiety for life. Even when you are as strong as Blitz and he is much stronger than he thinks, it hurts so bad and you could clearly see him suffering throughout the episode. I just want to hug him and tell him he's not alone and there are people who love him. No wonder his issues are so hard and it all started from his childhood when his own father only cared about him for selfish reasons, this is all he knows, this is all he believes he can be. it's awful because he had such a huge heart inside which he tries so hard to hide and save himself from getting hurt again and again. I can relate so much it hurts

[@happyslowpoke8982]

“Hell seems to be full of people who still want to just feel close to another person despite their supposed evil nature” That’s a fantastic thesis summary for this show and idk why I didn’t realize it sooner. Super well-put!

[@MidoriyamaRArekusu]

I think I related so viscerally to Blitz in Apology Tour that I was genuinely depressed and crushed for several hours after watching it. I have had a net zero romantic relationships or any other kind of intimate involvement after I was SA-d as a teen. I feel like I want to find love but I’m also deeply scared and worried that I’d just make any relationship weird… In the last moments of the episode I was imagining how horrified I would be if I had several dozen exes holding a yearly party to express how much they hated me… I’m just scared that I might end up wasting someone else’s time trying to find love.

[@torchicachu2501]

I think that alot of this trauma has come from how people treated him after the fire incident when he was a teenager, he probably put his feelings out and people pushed him out of the picture because of those feelings he had. Another big part of it might be his relationship with barbie, where he clung onto her so close since she was the last he had and the amount of horrible insults and pushback and hate she showed him has conditioned him to act that way too

[@10RexTheWolf01]

I believe when he is spying on M&M he is really spying on Moxxie mainly if not exclusively. They did both meet in prison but only one manage to find love and get married. I guess the reason why he is obsessed and a jerk to Moxxie is because he really want to ask him how he did it. Both are such opposites of each other but one is more honest with themself.

[@JasonMayorga-o1x]

Thank you imp cut for explaining how complex & relatable Blitzø is. I can relate to Blitzø because I don’t believe I deserve love & remembering how my parents got divorced a couple of years ago, I learned that sometimes people just use us for their benefits instead of acknowledging others a beings that wants to love but can’t. The things you pointed out about Blitzø I know I have cause in my sophomore year this girl was my friend & she said to me on her last day at the school she said she liked me & the first time we meet. I didn’t believe her or her words so I acted like a dick towards her most of the time, “ I don’t want to be this way … not forever”.

The best way I can describe Blitzø's mental state and thought process is: an enigma.

[@goddessbettyd5614]

With people like Blitz who lash out at emotions they're not pleased with, I'm sure M and M are more used to Blitz shoving people away, rather than pulling others close. Keep that up for long enough and people around you will assume that they'd get the same treatment at any turn. Blitz is usually too self-isolating to reach out for help. Even when he's at that low point, even Luna keeps him at arm's length. I'm sure if Blitz let his walls down and genuinely asked Moxxie and Millie for support, they'd give it. But sadly it seems he's not the sort to do that. However, that relationship can always grow and change. For Blitz's sake, I hope it does. He needs to learn to let people in without making them pay the price for being open.

[@racheldereje3592]

In Poland we have something called Wokulski's syndrome (not too official, it's a bit similar class like werter syndrome?) - it's named after a book character, Stanislav Wokulski who was a wealthy merchant that wanted to marry a beautiful noblewoman. The only way he could think of impressing her was money - he would buy her all the things, thinking love is something that you buy or need to deserve. That you have to prove yourself being worthy loving. Kind of reminds me of how Blitz perceives things, as he can be loved only as a good lover, only as a good bodyguard, he needs to buy it or earn it

[@Lonkshi21]

It's hard for me to relate to someone when I have never experienced it myself

[@harleyhart1497]

Blitz communicates through raw emotion and Stolas through lengthy conversations. They cannot effectively communicate unless they sit down with another couple (e.g. Fizz and Asmodeous) to work things out and find a way to effectively communicate. Also, Stolas seeks and idealised version of love (as in, simple and easy), not a realistic version (as in, difficult, hard, and takes time for both people to feel the same)

Hellavu boss really is relatable down to the last detail. It reminds me of how even though I attempt to find a person who would care, not every person can feel the same or some just don't care and some change to fit in with others

[@SonicrailinX]

One key note about Bee's party, Blitz was just coming off the time at Ozzie's and so was in a self-destructive mind-set when Loona called him. So once he got into the party he used it as an opportunity to "drown" himself in booze and make-out sessions in an attempt to kill the conflicting feelings he was having over the night with Stolas. Bee being an empath who nourishes herself on the good sinful vibes of her guests recognized this as easily as noticing a shot of vinegar in a keg of punch and was concerned for him. Blitz had his feelings for those he cared about used and abused by his bastard of a father. Those he loved dearest were either killed, brutally damaged, or emotionally poisoned from an event triggered by his own emotional expression. Or rather when he got his own feelings hurt and wanted to vent some steam before possibly trying a better approach, only to have it cast in Greed Green flames by an accident he didn't mean to cause. Because of his old man's using and abusing, Blitz has had little to no experience of what genuine love is. And yes, even in Hell, the real thing can be found. The only one to show him friendship and brotherhood was Fizz, and the only one to show him true unconditional love and cared that he was alive was his mother. Both of whom either suffered or was taken away from Blitz when he wanted to express his own feelings. So Blitz has no way of even recognizing the true stuff at this point without somebody practically pounding it into him! Same goes with Stolas . . . after the number his jerk of a dad did on him--not to mention what he endured with Stella her brother, and likely others--he's just as blind as Blitz to the treasures that are right in front of him. Both want to love and be loved, but they also don't want to be hurt again like they have already, nor do they want those they care about to be hurt by them. Both have had their understandings of "love" polluted by their dads. And--if the fan art on Stolas's mom is on the mark--they've both had the one person who did show them what real love and care is taken away from them. The scars on Blitz's body don't compare to the 3rd and 4th degree ones inside. Also, I'm wondering if the Elitist Blitz keeps referring to is an Ex or one he knows is just a straight up using and abusing, backstabbing "you know what". Which makes me want to point the finger at Mammon, the ultimate user/abuser who Blitz tried to warn Fizz against from the start. I recently noticed an interesting detail about Hell's multi-colored fire. Each Ring has its own colored flame, but they are not restricted to said rings as previously thought. Ozzie lit Fizz's baton with his Blue flames while they were in Greed. And the fire that consumed the circus was Green, while I believe it was established in Pride. That makes me wonder just how much that fire that scarred and shaped Blitz and Fizz for life was a "complete" accident. Sure Blitz cause the cake with the Green Flame candles to be dropped, but for the fire to spread that damn fast, even in Hell, makes wonder if it hadn't been given some kind of acceleration. Mammon wanted Fizz working for him, and what better way to get Fizz than to destroy all of Fizz's previous ties and get Fizz dependent on him for everything that followed. Blitz's experience with Elites before Stolas is that they are the biggest "users" in Hell, That all they want is what they can get from those beneath them. So, yeah, his outlook is just as colored as Striker's in that regard because he's been left with no way of seeing otherwise even when it's right in front of his nose. "Call the Doc and schedule a big group therapy session. This whole gang needs a serious powow to get their heads out of the mud"

Blitz will be able to have a healthy relationship only after he’ll learn to love himself more first.

[@albatross4920]

Blitz probably imagines if he lets his gaurd down again, he might unintentionally cause another "circus disaster". Maybe he assumes all relationships go down in flames so is just a Pavlov reaction to tear anything and everyone down, romantic or not.

[@RayWhitfield92]

This is so correct in so many ways, i used to think my family were loving towards me also, you have to leave before you can visibly see the toxicity.

[@Chees3TastesTasty]

I also think that Blitz has dated another Goetia before because of upset he got at Stolas’ confession. I also think it was the person who I assume is adrolphous (either adrolphous or the new red guy we see a little before in the video I think?) during one of the cut scenes in the season 2 trailer

[@lerneanlion]

At this point, what stopped Blitz from going full blown Sith and treat Loona, Moxxie and Millie as his possessions? After all, that is what the Sith do most of the times. They "cared" about certain group of people that are very useful to them while also fully knowing well that they themselves are all they will ever have? So what stopped Blitz from becoming such an extremist? Also, should Blitz's father be held accountable here? I know that he didn't tell Blitz do behaved in such a way and what Blitz did is on Blitz alone. But he is the one who abused Blitz and put him on such a path in the first place.

[@NightoftheLivingcookies10]

I think since Blitz still blames himself for the death his mother and his father and sister hating/blaming him, he's scared of loving again because he think's it'll be ripped away from him AGAIN and it'll be his fault AGAIN. He doesn't want to live through that again. He probably also thinks everyone always leaves him eventually so why wait for them to do it when he could cut them off himself without the trauma?

[@Hellish_Hanako]

Ngl, I can relate to him because my relationship w my ex was like this, and since I was lead on by many or that my family when I was younger ruined me me, I was shaped a way I didn’t wanna be, but I get better, I swear I’m better at being friends then dating (unless paranoia and all of that gets to me)

I can relate to Blitz's self sabotaging. It's lika nagging voice in the back of my head, almost every time I get something or someone who makes me happy, that voice starts to say, "You don't deserve this." I try to block it out, but its really hard. I hope Stolitz work things out❤

[@luna176]

I believe Blitz has severe seperation anxiety bc of the accident. Since the people he loved most were gone/ hated him, he doesn't like to have a strong bond to someone bc the fear of losing this person and having to deal with the pain all over again is too much. I honestly feel him for that.

[@NordicKitt]

I related a ton with Blitz in apology tour because, even with a good and functional life, I'm convinced that anyone who hasn't already created a strong bond with me and even then is just doing a roleplay with me and doesn't mean all that they say, because that's how I can be. This is especially the case with other teenagers that have "higher status," which means, large friend groups, cool, social media attached, and having partners left and right, all that I'm not. So when any school mate would talk to me or show interest in me in some way, I am 90% convinced that this is only an act that they would lead me into, only to attack with their gang if I open up too much. I keep everyone at arms length and definitely relate to Blitz's perspective on his and Stolas' relationship.

[@gloriannavargas7536]

I really blame his father and probably his sister for this! Because of their horrible, ungrateful, ignorant, uncaring, cold hearted and pathetic attitudes and that they blame Blitz for the fire accident this causes poor Blitz to fear that he will never be loved or cared by anyone. Cash and Barbie are horrible people and horrible family an it's their fault!

[@Rainbowsyoungersister]

Imagine IMP being on the run because of Blitz’s exes.

[@MarioFanStrangeNew]

Blitz pretty much represents me whenever someone is getting too close in liking me in a crush like way. I never had a boyfriend/girlfriend but some people were already crushing on me at school and in my job but I constantly push those people away because I feel unsafe and have no idea how exactly I should handle the situation in another way. In school it caused me some problems because after pushing them away I actually wanted to explain why but they refused to talk, assuming it's because I have someone else and just play dumb to it to be special, which was a stupid way to think but it was like that. I really do understand Blitz on that note because just like him I want to feel loved but I'm too scared of that feeling to let it come to me or showing myself that I'm worth it.

6:42 The reason children do this is not only because they don’t know better, but also because it is easier to survive if you don’t accept that your parent is flawed and that it is YOU who is flawed, because you can’t change your parent’s actions, only yours.

[@pauljordan0203]

it makes sense you know, he keeps trying chase after Moxxie and Millie's lives in order to fill himself into said lives, but he's just hurting himself little by little, which is why Moxxie is constantly annoyed back in the pilot episode, and that time of going to meet Crimson, honestly, if Blitz really wants to change, he needs to do something about himself, like facing his past, go on some spiritual journey or something, that's how he'll move on out of that old life.

[@mr.SinTonnal]

I've been used so many times that I personally believe that noone can love me and that hurts but your content makes me so happy and really interests me because I'm really into psychology thank you for being a la amazing person and KZbinr

[@kiethshadowfade]

Honestly, I think the reason he hates being loved and why the moment someone says they love him is because perhaps the last thing his mother said to him was I love you. I can honestly believe that being the last thing she said when he found her in the fire.

[@Swerewolf]

Parental neglect. My parents rejected / neglected me. I've been lonely for years and had to go through therapy. I've since let down my walls and had kids with someone. Life changed, but I still feel lonely at times.

[@kriture5484]

TBH, ive always been self sabotaging myself all my life with many of failed relationships i refused to keep with my jobs with my family and even my attempt to be a content creator but i just didnt have the skill the face or voice or talent like others do. i dont comment much but your videos help me see these characters in a different light and give me new perspectives on how i see myself as well. the world is such a shitty place for me and sometimes i just feel like laying in my bed and cry myself to sleep cause i keep thinking about how much of a failure i am at life cause mine just sucks and i hate myself for it. I dont know how im ever gonna break this cycle but its hard to love people who belittle or degrade me everyday. thats all i wanted to get off my chest.

[@damsels4sale]

Wow, and I mean wow. Relating to blitz has never hit this hard before. As someone who has been told to look into lithromanticism because of my constant self sabotaging and, as my therapist said, masochistic tendencies, I have to say this video really hit me where it hurts. Like, I never really cared much before because I am one to often repress my trauma or just fake it til I make it which has usually worked, albeit only temproarily, but this really got me thinking about how I've only ever been hurt my entire life. Growing up I had nobody, I was labelled problematic or naive and constantly taken advantage of by people older than me aswell as people my age. Even now I struggle to ask for help or open up because I feel like nobody could ever care for me and that I'm the "odd one out" whenever I struggle with anything. Even if me, being naturally pragmatic, knew that it didn't make sense, I still had that huge chunk of self hatred wallowing inside me while I just spent all my life trying to prove myself to other people. I was diagnosed with BPD pretty early in my teens when I was admitted into the psych ward and that caused a whole new chain of emotions that I willfully ignored throughout those years, so, I resorted to drinking, hooking up with people, leading others on and so on until I gave up and labelled myself as an aromantic asexual. I still feel myself wanting others to love me, but it also just never felt real because of all the neglect I had to grow up with. And I have been called a narcissist before because I realized I also put up a pretty egotistic front which I've noticed in blitz aswell when I rewatched some episodes, which just kinda grew into the self fulfilling prophecy of "hey, everyone hates me anyway so I might aswell be shitty." Watching blitz do the same exact things I've done my entire life has opened up a lot of doors for me. I'm already a pretty painfully self aware person who reflects a bit too much on my actions to the point it feels like I'm ruining my life on purpose, but this is the one thing I haven't reflected on enough because, surprise, I avoided it my whole life. No matter how hard I try to see the good in myself, I end up digging deeper into my own grave with how deeply I hate everything about me. Now I know that whenever I rejected or broke up with someone and said "It's not you, it's me" I really just meant "I don't deserve you, go be with someone better". Now I don't even know if I'm aromantic or just really bad at relationships. Repressed trauma from your childhood really fucks up your entire life.

[@madman.cowboy]

I deeply relate to Blitzo psychologically. I used to engage in a lot of self-sabotage when people placed all the blame on me, and I would lash out under pressure. The constant reminders of being hated and feeling irredeemable are appalling. People often forget that I'm human too; even if I have flaws, is back-handed criticism really worth it? Why go through the trouble of creating a hate group chat about me and sending numerous death threats, to the point where I've become desensitized? (P.S.: I still self-sabotage sometimes, but I believe I've improved.)

[@universettt]

I feel like if Bitz and I ever met we would probably end up fighting because of seeing too much of ourselves in the other, moderately successful businesses, (i.M.P and KZbin Channel) but at what cost? Ruined relationships (Blitz with Veronika and Stolas ( Me with a former female classmate that I had a crush on that ended on bad terms), no friends or family to speak of, everyone in the universe now seemingly hating us for eternity, now eternally unable to find love because things were said in the heat of the moment that shouldn't have been, and even though repentant now it doesn't seem to matter to any women out there. And although wanting to change having no idea how to / What's the point of even trying when everyone turns their head in disgust anyway.

[@KV_The_Unknown]

I have actually experienced guit a lot of things in life that lead to me feel sensitive to love that I don't want to be attached to and feel more pain mentally because it's normal. I was born with few menatl issues and have trouble expressing my feelings the way I would explain them. My family was a pit of a mess that I didn't knew my real dad before because he was never there and insteade I viewed my step-dad as a real father because he was there. I did have siblings but it's more of a parent problem for me, so after I got 10 my dad finally visited me and I didn't knew him at first which lead me to be confused. I did ask him about why he wasn't there but he never answered. My mom was usually always there for me but she never showed much interest in me and was always in her world. If I did something wrong she will punish me or be angry and never much teach me the life needed skills like cooking ortelling me manners much but she did that rarely. After years being that way and getting even more hurt by people on my age almost like 10 to 12 almost and getting hurt by my friends and bullied at school and all that trauma made me truly suffer but never realized after few years later. I wasn't much happy anymore with my life. I wasn't anymore energetic, I wasn't anymore smiling and didn't felt loved. I obviuosly accepted that truth as a thing that something was wrong eith me and it was probably me acting autistic because I am autistic and the others didn't like me much and just used my innocence up snd even getting sexually abused. After getting more tears I started to bottle up more and try to act like a normal person with no mental issues seen on me as much as I could. I stayed more out of the grup of people and I began to be more quiet. I was scared to get hurt again because of love. I did talk to my mother about things that happen but she just said "I know" which hurted me so much and I only thought that she doesn't know anything much about what it actually was. I stayed my distants of my mother and didn't want to botger her much. My step-dad started to drink alcohol and bother me more and I knew that he did Illegal thinf to me and just randomly touched me and aaked if I wanted a massage to look more innicent but after I told my mom about it she divorced him which destroyed my image of my childhood forever. Now today I'm still scared of love and loving pain more then the positive way of it.

[@gillianday4804]

We will wait for 3 months! Maybe at Sinsmas he will change his mind and his heart!

[@Oceane1803]

Yeah it feels true. I've been mentally abused by my mother and step-father for most of my life, but even though I'm away now, living with my father, it's hard to move on from the way they made me feel about myself. Just yesterday, my feelings of self-worth were at rock bottom. I'm a bit better now but still. I don't hate myself the way Blitzø does, but I still feel like I'm a useless burden to society who will never accomplish anything. I don't have a job, I don't have a university to go to, I almost don't have have any irl friends, I barely go out, I gained weight, I don't wash myself or my clothes too often... All that because I'm scared of doing so and/or I can't find the motivation. Like "What's the point ?" And I feen even worse about myself because of this. My mother was overcontrolling and therefore she never taught me how to do things by myself, so now as an adult, I'm scared of responsabilities and of going outside of my comfort zone. Yeah that basically summarizes why I can't push myself to do anything with my life : I'm scared. I wasn't prepared for this world, and now I'm afraid of stepping out. I wish I could be open about this with my father so that he could help me, or to at least be able to get this off my chest with someone I'm close with, but even though he's a lot nicer than my mother and step-father, he's far from perfect. He isn't supportive of my transidentity. He insists that, as my father, he knows better and that I'm a boy. Despite how I tried explaining him again and again how I feel. Not only that, but he rarely tries to pay attention to the things I like, and when he does, he never likes any of it. I understand that different people have different tastes, but that doesn't prevent me from discussing with him the things he likes, even when I don't really like them. Meanwhile all he does when I propose anything is refuse to watch it, and if I insist enough that he does watch it, he'll go through the first episode (if he even finishes that first episode) and say he's not interested. And whenever I bring it up, he'll say I need to find something better, not so subtly implying that he thinks it's bad. And we're talking about shows like The Amazing Digital Circus, Murder Drones, Hazin Hotel and Helluva Boss, Epithet Erased and many others... Or video games like Ghost Trick, Celeste, Undertale and Deltarune... Yes it's mostly indie stuff. But even if it's not his type of series or video games (he likes video games), that shouldn't prevent him from seeing the good in them. I don't really like playing the games he plays either, it's not my style, but that doesn't prevent me from seeing what makes these games good and enjoyable. I don't deny that they're good like he does with the things I like. So back on topic, I want to be open about this with him, but I know he won't understand. He never tries to understand anything that he doesn't experience himself, so he wouldn't help with what I'm going through. He often says that the reason I don't like my body isn't because of my transidentity but because I gained weight, and that I should go out and find a job as it'll make me feel better about my self-image. But no that's not the problem, I knew about my transidentity before I started gaining weight. I wish he could support me and help me with all this, but he doesn't understand. I started taking steps to break this cycle, I want to go to the library from time to time. It'll give me a reason to go out and I'll borrow books too because it's been a while since I've read new books. But I need some papers that my father forgot where he put in order to make a new card to be able to borrow the books, so I have to wait for the start of next month when he'll recieve these papers again. It's a complicated situation, but even though it's slow, I'll soon be able to take the first step towards getting out of it with this. And since I'll go out more, I'll also wash myself and my clothes more. The things I read might even inspire me for my creative projects.

[@ASASASAS-x8n]

There is scene in trailer where he is crying in his mother's lap. I really hope we will see more of his backstory in next episodes

[@2ndCannonFodder]

he hates being loved because he is afraid of losing those someone that loves him

[@leimyr799]

I think its also because of his father. He only looked genuienly happy with blitz when he stole valueble things from stolas' house deeming him 'useful' to blitz's father

[@shiramonderer]

Unfortunately, I relate to him so much and familiar with all of those feelings. I just want to hug him. I can understand him too much

[@rockerbeast666]

The thing with this is by the time I was past 21, away from my family and away from the abusive relationship I ended up in just to be able to get away from them, I was able to take a step back and realize the problems I cause myself with relationships because of my past. That took three years of near isolation because I can’t feel myself around other people. Downside of this is by the time I was ready to be in another relationship I was railroaded by him and his toxic family to a point where my thought process is more warped than it was with my family. A happy ending isn’t always going to be there if you realize the problem and work on it but you can better yourself before being seriously committed to someone. The relationship between Blitzø and Stolas I know all too well. It was one I’ve seen and experienced but I understand both of their feelings since the last time it happened to me I felt used as that’s how things started and we “dated” but it was never really a relationship and no matter how much I tried to talk about it I was ghosted for months until I was useful again.

[@dariuswolfgamer]

I love your videos and I see myself as blitzo because I understand how he feels like we push away from each other because we don't want to person we love and care about get to close 😢

[@789Moonlight]

7:28 - I think Blitzø might have been in a relationship with Vassago. It would certainly sting him if Stolas leaves him for Vassago after this episode. It might also explain how Blitzø knew of Stolas' grimoire.

[@guineapig5858]

I relate to him a lot but even more so now because coincidentally the time i finally got into therapy and realised i needed it was at a party. It wasnt an i hate you party but a Halloween party, i also felt unworthy of love but wanted it, i was in an abusive relationship at the time (thankfully left) but of course id end up with someone like my mum who made it clear i was unloveable, he left this day to visit home so i went to this party without him. Terrified to speak to anyone till i had quite a few drinks, this was my 2nd year of uni, talked to a few people including someone i met from first year who said I wish we had talked more, your humour is great and me and my friend just really wished you had talked to us more. Id managed to contain myself but i almost cried and blew up as my brain went to, this has to be a lie, you havent given anything to this person. I didnt yell like blitz thankfully but i then learned later people had also had crushes on me and i had been completely oblivious and it became clear to me i had an issue as my brain was in all love has to be conditional towards you. I still relapse from time to time its a massive battle

[@MidnightXnoXhana]

I do, in fact, feel very attacked rn, although, me self sabotaging looks more like debilitating procrastination...

[@servingstfuhm6287]

I have a feeling that Ghost ****ker is going to be Vizzipop longest episode. A few months ago Someone posted leak story boards on KZbin involving IMP facing off against a water demon who was mind manipulating the group by getting into their heads. Not going to spoil what was shown but there was a scene where Luna was shown her past and it threw her off. Strangely looked just like the guy in trailer. He looked to be almost eerie like he could be related to striker. Maybe a hire from Moxies dad. Or the episode could be a flashback episode to how Millie join the gang.

[@christar9]

Blitz's father reminds me of my own. Your only as good as you are useful to those around you. You do whatever you have to so you can make it to the end of the day and shut your mouth about it and your issues. Above all else never be weak. Thanks to my fiance and counseling I'm slowly getting away from that mindset after many failed relationships.

[@nikolebrown6198]

What if it wasn’t another royal that hurt him but his dad. He comes home happy after being with him as a kid and tells his dad that he thinks the other kid likes him. So he dad has more play dates where over time he takes less and less and tells his dad he doesn’t wanna steal anymore cause he likes him back. The dad slaps him and tells him that those “rich royals don’t want you your nothing more then a play thing something he can use and when he’s done threw u away they don’t love our kind”. Then when stoles dad won’t pay anymore for blitz to come over he tells his son that he doesn’t wanna see him anymore. I mean blitz’s dad would totally use his kid in this way

[@rubymatthews2440]

I think it was mostly Buckzo who gave Blitzo and the ideology of if you’re not useful you are not worthy of love by isolating him from his mother and sister making all of the other circus members look down/hate him If they didn’t already except Fizz until the accident and a lot of other things but you can eventually break out of that type of ideology unless it is reinforced and in saying adult/early adult hood especially If it’s emotionally painful enough which could be the case

[@filip9478]

[@smexehcougah3]

You can't make me feel personally attacked because I'm already doing that to myself

[@heitorgonzalesneto9189]

I just know that Vivizipop is doing an amazing job creating a show with this level of complexity in relationships between two characters I hope Stolitz is gonna be end game in the last season

[@Crazed-Rat]

This explains me so accurately.... right now im in a relationship but its ofcourse not as bad. After being led on to think i was loved by previous exes just to be discarded it feels impossible for him to love me, even if it is so obvious. It makes me feel like i need to take some form if action so he wont get borred of me, i know how wrong it is but the feeling is too strong and there isnt really a cure except for his amazing patience and acceptance. I keep thinking i have to "please" him but he has made that very clear that he does not want me to do anything im not comforable with. But what else am i supposed to do???!! i am worthless and useless. I cant provide anything, i dont even know how to kiss! (neither does he which is also kinda cute, kissing isnt really needed. but i still feel like this.)

A lot of people compare Blitzø to Bojack Horseman, but whereas Bojack is a covert narcissist, I think Blitzø leans more on the BPD side.

[@yesikanarvaez5027]

I hope Blitzø learns to love himself it'll be something his mom would want for him

[@Nori_DoormanCore]

The ending talking about how people can actually GO THROUGH THIS hurts my heart. I can’t blame Blitz. There’s a lot of factors that go into the way he is. I just want Stoliz to happen. Who knows? I have this weird feeling that Blitz + Ver might become cannon again before Blitz gets back together with Stolas.

[@sebasdasebas]

what if at the end the characters all say "What if the true Helluva Boss was the friends we made along the way" and then the show ends forever

[@inkscript483]

What's frustrating about Blitzø is how obvious it is that he's enough. Most people aren't enough. Most people are duds, walking miscarriages that will die anonymously, never wanted, never seen. The frustration is that Blitzø wastes a vastness of blessings that most people will never know, will never even have a whiff of.
