Cant wait for your reactions to fm and at - just steel yourself its going to be a bumby ride and i am so glad that you understand blitzø as a complex character - deep down blitzø is just a silly goober who want to protect the people he loves

[@Luzarioth]

Fizz in Ozzies for me is not Fizz, but his current act. Everyone expects him to be this way. EP6 & 7 is when we see the real Fizz, without anything to Play as.

[@meguscarlet3371]

To go deeper here, Blitzø is a protector but it seems no one protected or supported him as strongly as his mother. From what we saw so far his father was a con man and didn't care for him, and Blitzø having a super negative view of himself seems to root in that relationship with his father probably saying he was not good enough and a constant comparison with Fizzarolli. The man gave another kid a "I hope you were my son" card, and we see Blitzø struggling with opposite feelings of love and hate or jealousy towards Fizz. Everything was an accident of some seconds and Blitzø being angry, which seems an emotion he still have issues with because he's constantly frustrated and struggling, so he let's anger take over everything else (like sadness or vulnerability). That accident killed his mother who he loved and supported him, probably guided him to navigate his insecurities and these feelings... and he belw up his crush and best friend who he always protected, and his father convinced him Fizz didn't want to see him ever again. At the same time, he lost his relationship with his sister, they're twins so that probably runs deep. So Blitzø had few people to make him feel enough and not a failure like his father convinced him he was. And these people died or blamed him entirely for an accident. A detrimental thing here is NO ONE said to Blitzø "it was not your fault" so far in the show. His mom is dead, his farher trash, Barbie cut him out and blamed him, and Fizz forgave him but accepted his words when he sais "it was an accident.... but it was still my fault". And it was not, he didn't do anything on purpose, and it was a big event to put all blame on the shoulders of a teenager.

[@helenanilsson5666]

*"wish* you were my son", not hope. "Hope" implies that he slept with Fizz' mother nine months before Fizz was born but the paternity is uncertain.

[@KaitheKnightly]

The only thing to remember about Blitz is he tends to self destruct as a way to "protect" others. Because of how much he feels he doesn't deserve others.

[@KaitheKnightly]

What's even sadder is I think Cash (Blitz's dad) was similar in how he treated Fizz. And the reason Fizz had such a hard time seeing it as abuse from Mammon because of Cash.

[@TheTecManiac]

You made such a good point there at the end with I.M.P becoming like a security service, it would fit so well! I can totally picture them like that, maybe even as a service sinners could hire to protect people they had to leave behind in the living world

And is a bit too relatable haha 45:10 true, of couldn’t believe that somebody’s gonna top Millie and Moxxie in terms of adorable and healthy relationships yet here we are

[@Arc_Nix]

Worst of all is that Fizz isn't completely wrong about Mammon. It is most likely that he met Asmodeus because Mammon sent him over as a model for the first batch of robots. So yeah, in a way, Fizzarolli really does owe him for meeting his love.

A lot of fans out there feel like all that needs to happen with Blitz and Stolas' relationship is for Blitz to come to terms with his own problems, and everything will be hunky-dory. But as you mentioned, Stolas-while trying to move the relationship to a more correct footing-still has a lot of his OWN issues he's unwittingly bringing to the table, and unless HE works through those in the same way that Blitz has to do with his, their relationship is doomed to fail. I've loved your analysis so far, and I'm very curious to hear what you have to say over the next several episodes.

[@gr1mreap3rz15]

fizz Very Quickly became my favourite character once the show started playing w his character more. it's like they threw all the character things i love in 1 big blender and then cast alex brightman to play him, it's amazing - and he n ozzie are a nice break from stolitz's drama :]

[@semicolontransistor]

Amazing insights as always. It never occurred to me that being protective is something natural for Blitz but it makes so much sense now. It might be a good time to issue a warning about possible overwhelming emotions in Just Look My Way, Full Moon, Apology Tour, and probably the rest of the season. It has been a week and I am not sure I have fully recovered from Apology Tour.

[@SilverScribe85]

If you listen carefully during the flashback, you'll notice that Fizz doesn't have the croaky sound in his voice. This along with the fact he knows sign language inspired the idea that after the accident, Fizz briefly lost his voice and when it came back, it sounds the way it does now

[@k1productions87]

Not only that, with his horns gone, he basically lost (or severely damaged) his ears, so he had to focus on ASL.... or I guess we could call it HSL, until he learned how to adequately compensate to his new senses.

[@helenanilsson5666]

You guys know he also lost his arms, right? Sometimes people just learn sign language because it's a great language to know, it doesn't have to be something you're forced to learn because of a tragic backstory.

Yeah, the Glam Sisters and all the deep-sea demons (like the "Karen" from Western Energy) come from the Envy Ring, which is mostlikely an ocean and is ruled by Leviathan. Their species is called Possessors (confirmed by the characters sheet of one of Crimson's crew members from 'Exes and Oohs').

It was a reference to his greater talent and implication of Blitzo's envy, and a reminder of what Blitzo did, compared to "... my horns have always been bigger, haven't they?"

[@morfy42]

[@SaiyanSerenityV]

Blitzø is a FASCINATING character (and unfortunately way too relatable) to me, but as much as I cringe at seeing the bad parts of me in him he has so much good in there too - he cares SO much for everybody in his life, he's constantly looking out for and protecting them. He'll always put himself in front in dangerous situations, and even though he's illiterate he's very street smart and can read people extremely well. I recently watched back exes and oohs and if you only pay attention to Blitzø instead of Moxxie I noticed that he is on high alert as soon as they enter Crim's place! He doesn't eat until he sees them eating, looks weirded out at the drink Crim gives him and takes one pretend sip then never touches it again, ect. I think he intended to sleep with Chaz all along just to get info out of him. The animators are VERY deliberate with his actions Vs his dialogue. He's always saying something and thinking something else. Such a cool character to study!

It's broadly accepted (while not explicitly confirmed) that they're from Envy (because of Leviathan and all that ocean stuff).

[@templeofthegods]

They're from the Envy ring, that is ruled by Leviathan. It's where the ocean is and the hellborn from there have aquatic aspects.

[@vegvisir9276]

i think this episode heavily hints at Imp horns being related to their hearing, Fizz has 1 half and maybe around 1/3 1/4 horns, so he is likely not deaf but very hard of hearing (enough to warrant him learning sign) while Oliver (Fizz's imp fan) seems to be almost completely missing one horn and hardly has any of the other so is very likely almost completely deaf if the theory holds

[@zing9375]

Last comment, it’s too bad we didn’t get a full king scuffle, although why is Mammon way bigger than Ozzie in full demon form, I mean, the electro spider is a good deal bigger than the flame chicken, so maybe the fight would’ve been too one sided, just puzzling, or time constraints.

[@enbylion]

Yes, the fish characters are from Envy!! Remember to watch Just Look My Way before watching the next episode :3

[@LDragon]

23:20 "Okay, so they're like fish people, where are they going to be ...." Probably from the Envy ring, ruled by Leviathan. The series hasn't taken us there yet, but the fanbase speculates that it's mostly ocean, given that Leviathan is usually depicted as a gigantic sea monster. Anyway, if it's bioluminescent and looks like a weird deep-sea lifeform, it may be from Envy. Assuming that Blitzø's math is correct ("the nearest ocean is three rings down" from Pride), then Greed has an ocean also, which may explain why Greed is heavily populated by shark demons.

[@zing9375]

With all his robotics given by Mammon, he does owe him, initially but considering Ozzie’s factories build the robotics now he can continue, nor would he really lose anything if he has Ozzie anyway. But yes now that we have Fizz’s happy ending, something has to act as a very sad counter to balance things back to equilibrium

[@naomiwhitehead4392]

Ohh your really close to catching up 😊

[@FlybyStardancer]

Fizz is my favorite character, and this is my favorite episode. You can see that Blitzø clocked on to how similar Mammon was to Cash, in all the worst ways. A headcanon I’ve adopted- Blitzø took the Glam Sisters’ presence/act/etc personally because he’s a twin himself, and he probably had a similar act with Barbie. Or maybe he and Fizz did a mirror act for a while, with the way Fizz did a belated mirror hand on the hip after Blitzø said their act “ain’t cute”. Fizz is soooooo cute with the little deaf kid. Viv named the kid Oliver at a con panel. And I don’t think don’t think Fizz learned ASL as a direct result of hearing/voice loss (someone else has been pointing out in the comments that he didn’t have the necessary limbs at the time to learn). However, his struggles could have inspired him to learn once he had the prosthetics so he could better connect with others with disabilities even though he didn’t strictly need it anymore. I imagine it would have also been helpful in learning how to use the prosthetics too. (Plus Oz used the sign for “phone” when requesting that Fizz keep his phone on him last episode, so maybe he does have partial hearing loss?) And the Glam Sisters are such a fun subtle pun. They’re clowns who happen to be fish… 😂 “2 Minutes Notice” is such an amazing song. And in the second chorus when Fizz is twirling the fire baton, Asmodeus’ seal replaces Mammon’s on the curtains. And I love the timing on showing Blitzø on the word “apologize”. It’s too late for Mammon to apologize, but it hadn’t been too late for Blitzø. Oz and Fizz are so cute together!! Oz gave the perfect amount of support in that final confrontation. And I find it funny that he was too tall to fit on stage, so he had to crouch down. Also I love how Oz didn’t speak for Fizz’s feelings, even though he knows them. He just said that HE loves FIZZ. (And the subtitles at that point call the crowd’s reaction “intense fangirling”. 😂) And I personally think Oz was amused by the “who tops” question. 😂 it really seems like he and Blitzø could be friends too, which is a good thing with the way Fizz and Blitzø seem to be mending their friendship. And to expand on your protective Blitzø thoughts… Blitzø protects everyone, but who protects Blitzø? 🤔

[@kyratries]

I think that Blitz would be incredibly surprised by the number of people who would stand between him and danger, if it came down to it. Even if they're people he's screwed over in the past. But he doesn't see himself as a person worth protecting, so how would he know? But they'd be there ;;;;; I love your headcanon about Glitz and Glam being twins so much!

I guess it depends on how much autonomy the sins have over their own nature versus how much is simply their role in Hell. Like Lucifer (who is definitely different as a fallen angel but still a sin) doesn’t embody a lot of traditional ‘prideful’ aspects, despite being the representation for it. So how much of a sin is dictated by who they are born to be? Mammon could possibly be less of greedy fcker but has instead embraced it, where Asmodeous might be able to distance himself from lust and make decisions not based on his nature. I’m curious now as to how much actual autonomy the sins have!!

@@zing9375 no I think I get it. It might work because Ozzie is prioritizing /his/ lust and lust is allowed to be selfish and cause selfish behavior. (The lustful in Dante were caught in a perpetual whirlwind with their lovers punished by the unending storm which def reads lust for one specific person as opposed to general sexual desire for all things and we know Dante was an inspiration.) but we don’t really know enough about how the sins work specifically, or how Hell as we know it was created out of the dark pit Lucifer and Lilith caused, what made the rings and the sins and the hellborn etc etc. It’s interesting to think about though!
