You wanna know what I want?

I want to know what it's like, to not be alone.

I want to be someone's, someone.

I want to feel... wanted!

But like, in a romantic way, like, I'm standing out in the rain, at a train station, and someone is shouting, "HARRIET! Don't get on that train, it's going to London and I cannot be without you!"

The point is, I just... want someone to care, if I stay or go

I want someone to want, me!

To want to see me,

to hold me,

look at me and think, "You're the only one I want!"

I desire to hold you and talk to you, never let you feel so...

You, why are YOU here?

Blitzø and Stolas' eye markings fascinate me, and I believe they suit them.

Blitzø's cover both the upper and lower part of his eyes. It's a thing called "Clown Eyeliner", which makes sense: he WAS a circus performer at some point in his life.

And when he closes them, the eyelids and markings combined resemble crosses. Crossed eyes usually represent a character that got either knocked out, or killed.

Which overall fits his job as an assassin.

AND fits his self hatred. As we know, Blitzø's life is full of broken bonds and loss of people he once loved, and deep inside he blames himself for all of it. As we see in his photos, he always crosses himself out, as if to symbolize his belief that, despite his craving for affection, everyone would be better off without him, if he were dead instead.

He has crossed himself out.

And now, onto Stolas.

Stolas' markings are positioned just right under his eyes.

They're usually rather small, but one could make the argument they can get longer when he uses his more dark powers, as it has happened in Truth Seekers.

Anyway, with those markings placed like that, they heavily resemble streaks caused by either blood or mascara running because of teary eyes.

And Stolas, well, he's definitely not as happy as he looks. Behind his smile he hides a battle with depression and a lot of repressed sadness. Those streaks hint at a kind of crying that's not let loose, but it's contained.

A sadness that he never wanted others to see, as he grew up believing his emotions were a burden. That made HIM a burden for others. But as his life crumbles around him, hiding it is just becoming more and more of a struggle, his crying ruins his mascara so much that the markings end up blending in.

And by the time Sinsmas ends, we see all that pent up sadness crashing down on him for everyone to see.

Blitzø and Stolas' lives are respectively marked by death and grief. A combination that has led them to a lot of pain, and yet, they fit each other in flawed perfection. Blitzø comes alive and loved thanks to Stolas, and Stolas has a reason to be happy thanks to Blitzø.

Making Mama Tilla Smile

This was entirely sparked by the @thats-a-mood-gabriella 's post entitled "you can tell they grew up together" where they had noticed that both Fizz and Blitz pull these exact expression at different points in the series. I absolutely had to put them on baby Fizz and Blitzo.

But I added a bit more - I liked the idea that they would perform for Blitz's mum to cheer her up, and that when Fizz thinks she's laughing at him, she's actually giggling at her son who's about to prank Fizz with a pie gag. She's the only other person that would laugh at his jokes and made him feel like he was enough. ❤️

I'm sorry, but the more time passes and the more the show progresses, the wilder Ozzie's is to me. Like what do you mean "this is our first real date after all". What do you mean "so... what made you decide to ask me out after all this time?" what do you MEAN "we could talk, or watch a movie, or maybe... cuddle?" WHAT DO YOU MEAN "I'm sorry"????? All things that they still have not done by the end of Sinsmas. Asking each other out, going on a first date. Having quiet and domestic moments together, apologising for the ways they've hurt each other. What do you mean it was all already there in Ozzie's.

I'm just. Biting these two so hard. They make me feral

Blitzø is actually really good at Art

From an Art Educator Perspective

Okay so I saw some posts on Blitzø actually really enjoying art and that being his passion other than horses. I don't know if in the fandom we have had this consensus or if this is a hot take on my part, but Blitzø is actually really good at drawing.

You may ask why I know this and why I am so confident?

My credibility: I literally specialize in it.

I am a professional artist. I am a High School Art Teacher, who got their degree in art education and attended a well acclaimed art school.

(Self-taught artists are extremely valid and you do not need to go to art school to be an "actual artist". I am bringing up my background to show that I have a lot of knowledge of the development of fine motor skills and the ranges of art abilities and how to further improve them.)

As an educator, if Blitzø was a student and I saw Blitzø's drawings/doodles I would automatically recognize that he was actually advanced in abilities. Based on looking at his drawings I can tell if he were to actually take his time and focus on something he could create really beautifully detailed/rendered artwork.

You may ask how I know this??? I'm glad you asked.

THE AMOUNT OF LINE QUALITY THAT IS DEMONSTRATED IN BLITZØ'S DRAWINGS IS INSANE.

✨Art Lesson time✨

Okay so everyone learning to draw goes through the necessary stages of development

I'm just going to give humans as an example because obviously this is a fictional demon we are talking about.

Generally everyone goes through these stages as they grow and work on learning to draw. (Prodigies are extremely rare and I've only seen one once)

Art skills are like a sport. You need to train in order to develop fine motor abilities and control in your hands. The more you draw and do art the more you gain control of your muscles. It takes a lot of time and years of work to improve.

When a person's fine motor skills aren't as developed their lines tend to be shaky and they have less control. The more a person draws the better their line control becomes.

(Think of when you were little and you were first learning how to write)

The way I can tell how advanced Blitzø is, is through his line quality.

Now what is Line Quality?

This is a screenshot from this wonderful article

So in Blitzø's artwork he very much illustrates good Line control, force, thickness, and fluidity.

Okay first of all I want to Mention

THAT BLITZØ IS DRAWING IN PEN. You can tell this because different parts of the Calendar are crossed out with his scribbles. Also anybody with a calendar knows you have to write with a pen.

LOOK AT HOW CLEAN, FLUID AND CONFIDENT THESE LINES ARE DESPITE THAT HE IS DRAWING IN PEN!???

My assumption is that Blitzø is not using a reference for these drawings. You could make the argument that he has photos for M&M, Loona, and Stolas; however, he definitely does not have a photo of Striker.

I want to mention how dynamic of a pose he is drawing people in. He isn't avoiding hands at all. All of the hands are relatively accurate (Strikers especially).

In these drawings you see variation in line weight meaning parts of his lines are thicker to thinner. So Blitzø is purposely pressing harder and lighter to show variation and depth. His lines are very clean. I don't see repetitive Stokes and lines for the shapes. He is really confident with his mark making and you can tell because his lines aren't shaky at all.

By looking at his line quality and how clean it is you can tell he drew it quickly.

Not to mention he actually has a huge range of items he can draw confidently including and not limited to horses, weapons, leashes, cars, demons, and of course genitalia.

Blitzø isn't what you call a one trick pony 🐴 when it comes to what he can draw.

You can see this skill demonstrated in his other doodles.

You can even see this ability demonstrated in his drawings on the whiteboard

Okay anybody who has drawn on a whiteboard knows that they are difficult to draw on.

Whiteboards smear and are very streaky. In this photo you can tell where Blitzø made a mistake or changed information. Notice that none of his drawings have any smears. That means he did these drawings in literally one take.

I also want to mention his drawings in spring breakers. He is speed drawing directions and illustrating a plan perfectly to his employees.

HE IS LITERALLY RAPID FIRE SPEED DRAWING HERE

His drawing of Veroskika which he DREW FROM MEMORY.

Demonstrates the following:

Line control, Line Confidence, Line Fluidity, Variation in Line weight, and still has relatively correct proportions!?

Basically shut up MOXIE?!!! He did a good job!

Why have we not seen more detailed Blitzø artwork?

Okay so I as we know in the show Blitzø puts his doodles everywhere. So if he is good at Art why isn't he showing his artwork he spent a long time on????

The answer: he's insecure

Showing someone your art is a very vulnerable action. This is especially true if you spent a long time on it.

If someone doesn't like or makes fun of your doodle you can brush it off and be like well it's only a sketch and I did it in under 5 min.

It's a lot easier to show someone a silly little horse drawing you did than something you poured your heart and soul into.

We already are aware that Blitzø is insecure and has self-esteem issues. He literally covers his face in the photos of himself throughout his apartment. He is a very guarded individual. Of course he wouldn't show people the art he spent hours on. What if people reject them? They judge him for spending that much time? What if they see how much he actually loves them?

Blitzø feels like the kind of person who would crumple up or destroy his art that he spends long amounts of time on. It's a way of self-sabotaging yourself and further self-loathing.

Now do I think he has these hours long art pieces/drawings????

ABSOLUTELY

My guess is that Blitzø most likely has a hidden sketchbook. Artists tend to draw their loved ones and especially their children and partners.

There is no doubt in my mind that Blitzø hasn't been doing long observational drawings of Stola's especially when he is sleeping.

He has most likely been drawing Loona all the time. Why do you think he takes all the photos? Those are his references. He has probably been drawing detailed artwork of his loved ones this whole time (and of course horses too lol).

In conclusion

Blitzø actually can draw really well because his doodles demonstrate high levels of skill in line quality.

Going forward I would really appreciate if someone actually finds Blitzø's sketchbook or portfolio of his artwork he spent large amounts of time on. It would be really cute. It would be adorable if Loona or Stolas found them.

Blitzø could gain more confidence and put is artwork he really cares about on display 🥺

I also just want Moxie to find out and eat his words. (Guys I swear I don't hate Moxie 😂)

Thank you for joining me here today on my Ted talk on how I think Blitzø is actually a talented artist. I'm just an art teacher who has problems with how much helluva boss lives in rent free in my head.

Xaden Riorson’s actions in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame both make more sense and become infinitely funnier when you remember that the man is 22-23 years old.

This man is AT BEST a first year grad student trying to finish compulsory military service in an active war zone while running the family business (ruling a legit kingdom) and taking on extracurriculars (leading a rebellion) as side hustles. On top of that there’s a literal plague of evil descending, institutional racism is against him, and his Situationship (calling Violet that cuz a lot happens there over two books and I’m trying to cover all the relationship levels) never seems to settle out for more than a month at a time.

Like, of course the decision making is not always on point. The man doesn’t even have a fully developed pre-frontal cortex yet and he hasn’t slept the recommended amount in 6 years.
