#[ relationship :: Blitzo & Moxxie ]

[demon-country]

One thing I think people tend to forget is that, due to how short the episodes are and how few there have been despite the large time frame that's been covered so far, we know very little about the lives of any of the characters. Including Blitz, who is the main character. We've only seen a handful of interactions between Stolas and Blitz and even fewer solo scenes regarding how they feel about their relationship, and they're all important because they set up future plot points, but they're not in depth and thus are functionally taken out of context. We can only speculate about stuff like some of the memory fragments in All 2 U or the exact content of the many phone calls between Blitz and Stolas, using deductive reasoning to figure out what makes the most sense given the clues we have.

There's so much that the writers are forced to only drop hints and subtext about, because they simply do not have the time to explore things more if they don't want to drag the show out forever, so people who don't pay close enough attention or who don't want to acknowledge the romantic feelings between Blitz and Stolas end up saying that things went too fast. It's like, guys, you know they've been interacting for over 20 months, right? Surely you can't think the few minutes of them we've seen on screen is indicative of their entire relationship, right??? It only seems fast now because it was really important to show the rapid paradigm shift that happened as a result of the crystal exchange.

And while we're at it, this is what bothers me so much when people say Stolas probably doesn't know Moxxie and Millie's names. Stolas has, by Blitz's own admission in Oops, been interacting with him on social media and calling Blitz on the regular to ask about his day for about a year and a half, if we don't count the months where they didn't talk after Ozzie's. And note that even though this is part of his rant about how Stolas is only using him for sex, Blitz doesn't mention phone sex, he only says that Stolas calls to ask about his day - meaning that they must actually end up talking about what Blitz has been up to fairly often. When put into that context, do you honestly think that Blitz has somehow never once mentioned Moxxie and Millie by name?

Moxxie, Millie, and especially Loona are very important to Blitz and Stolas would undoubtedly remember their names for that reason alone, but they're also a huge part of his everyday life so they're gonna come up in conversation pretty often, both on social media and anytime Blitz indulged Stolas and talked about his day. Blitz has probably ranted about something Moxxie did fairly often during his phone calls with Stolas, and where Moxxie is mentioned so too will Millie inevitably be brought up. And you know Blitz wouldn't miss an opportunity to gush about how perfect and amazing Loona is. All of which we can infer due to the fact that Blitz does all of those things many times in a variety of settings over the course of the series.

The assumption that he doesn't know their names is ultimately based solely on the belief that, because Stolas has certain unconscious racial and class biases, he must not care about any imp other than Blitz, to the point where he'd have had to intentionally ignore and forget every mention of their names to not know them by this point. Stolas has a lot of shit he needs to unlearn and has said/done a number of harmful, demeaning things to imps (including to Moxxie and Millie in Loo Loo Land), but this is not one of them.

Blitz piecing together the shit-show of a situation they walked into in 2x03.

I am a sucker for protective Blitz, and while Millie was the person doing all the fighting in the climax of this episode, Blitz really was here like, "oh hell no, these fucks are not taking Moxxie from us!" too.

[justanotherhh]

me: dammit stolas you can't just walk away from someone who's struggling to connect with you, even if they're doing so through the poorly processed means of yelling insults, you've gotta give them time to work through it and not need to control everything

also me: [is aware that i also need to engineer situations to go perfectly and if someone started yelling at me i too would immediately get triggered and leave the situation and cry and if i had portal-making powers would yeet them to another continent, never mind just outside the door]

[badp1l0t]

Oh wait i just realized @lee1504 did the same thing lol

Quality Time With...

Loona

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Content; Romantic relationships, affection, physicality, gender neutral reader, fluff, swearing

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Spending time with Loona would include...

Lots of back and forth teasing. If you're not into that kind of thing, instead y'all will end up dishing about the people you both don't like. (loona probably complains about Moxxie a lot of the time)

Taking night walks (through the relatively safer areas of hell). Loona is confident in her ability to fight off anyone who bothers y'all. I would imagine Blitzø probably texts her a lot to check in with you both. Just in case

Couch time!! Y'all absolutely hog the couch for movie marathons, show binging, cuddling and listening to music. I've mentioned this before, but Blitzø may occasionally join you for movie marathons to bond with you both! However, if you want space, you'll move to Loona's room (or your place).

Heading to the parties Vortex invites y'all to! Whenever you go to a social gathering, you may have to act as a social buffer for Loona. If you're also introverted or don't like parties, at least you and Loona can stand in a corner together and people watch/enjoy the party ambiance. If you'r more extroverted, Loona follows you around the party. It's that meme of the introvert hiding behind the extrovert yk what I mean?

Rooftop stargazing!! Rooftop stargazing!!! Bring your drinks, blankets, and snacks because y'all will be up there a while. Also be aware Loona will smoke her cigarettes, but won't pressure you to take drags or anything. She's also careful to blow the smoke away from you so you're not inhaling it. You could stay up there for hours. It becomes a regular thing to meet each other on the roof after a long day, because at least once the day is over, you can bask in the night together.

I wouldn't be surprised if Loona was into mobile games. It's a way to tune out the daily bullshit. So maybe, y'all can play together! Whether it's having a joint account, or Loona invites you so you can trade materials or battle to see who has stronger characters. Also trying to beat each other's high scores. You're the only person Loona can be competitive with, without feeling threatened or belittled.

Quality time with Loona is surprisingly relaxing and lowkey. There's an intimate kind of understanding that makes her feel the safest she's ever been. Loona hopes she can make you feel the same.

Blitz what's your opinion of moxxie?

Unprompted anon asks || Always accepting !

Blitzo snorts at the question, even if, deep down, he’s not pleased at all with it. His relationship with Moxxie is more complicated than it looks like from the outside, more complicated than the other Imp himself can imagine. But, of course, that’s for him and him alone to know.

“Moxxie? That’s serious who’s you’re gonna ask about?” He shakes his head with a snort, leaning back in his office chair. “He’s my favourite punching bag. I mean, have you seen him? He makes it too fucking easy. And his reactions are always hilarious. He’s so touchy and it takes just a few words to rile him up.”

The words are followed by a smug smirk. It’s no secret that he loves to torment his employee, whether it’s by belittling him or invading his privacy and his intimate moments with his wife. Deep down, he’s very grateful that, unlike Moxxie, Millie doesn’t seem to mind his interference because, if she did? He would be forced to stop right away.

Moxxie, he can bully, manipulate and spin around as he pleases, but Millie? She is a scary tough bitch. He prefers not getting on her bad side, if he can help it.

“But we are one big family at IMP! So, of course, I value M, as I do with my other employees. He’s good at his job, no one can argue with that. I wouldn’t have hired him, if he wasn’t. Just, he’s the weakling everyone in the group makes fun off, you know? But it’s all in good fun.”

[suzerainoflegend]

I enjoy this thread because it points out the idea that a character needs to be traumatized or an underdog to be compelling is an immature and oversimplified way to interpret a work of fiction. Characters with healthy relationships and a solid sense of self can still be engaging. Characters can still develop and grow without needing to have a tragic back story.

VIVZIE MADE A THREAD ABOUT PEOPLE SAYING MILLIE "LACKS DEPTH"

Please read through this and STOP saying she "lacks depth" when even Viv says that we are only on the third ep! Goddammit....thank you, Vivzie! I've been repeating this shit and it's so nice to basically be right! Ugh!

What Blitz regrets

Interestingly most of Blitz's memories are more accurate with people's expressions than Stolas' in all 2 u.

Here's how he remembers the fire.

He see the imp lady and Cash bookit passed him. Then the pink horse cuts across him.

Then him seeing Fizz and trying to direct help to him.

Next is him trying to get to his Muma

Then we get the aftermath of the fire. (Screaming face made of flame).

Cash grabbing Blitz by his freshly buried wrist to hold him in place to hit him. Immediately blaming him for an accident. His mom just died and his dad did this.

Then blocking access to Fizz, shoving Blitz away. Before lying that he never visited, and that Blitz deliberately set the fire, isolating and scapegoating Blitz.

Moving on to Ozzie's which is large part of his film of his regrets and envys.

Fizz hating him on sight.

And Verosika too.

oh but he missed Stolas getting up to try to defend him from her.

Blitz also focuses on his putting his hand away from Stolas trying to comfort him

Though you can see Stolas miss reads his expression right before. When Ozzie showed his daughter hating him, and had people side with his abuser because she was 'cheated on'.

Stolas being sad when the only thing they have is Stolas wanting to fuck him.

They are both forced on this bit. That they don't have a relationship where they talk and cuddle, because it wasn't a real date. He made sure of that.

(never say never Mr too much Imp to simp)

Stolas giving him the crystal and asking him to stay. Definitely shows the crystal is huge sore point for him.

Stolas was more focused on how surprised Blitz was.

Stolas walking away from him as Blitz yells that he'll apologise to everyone else. But never him. If he hadn't said the previous 'fuck you' making Stolas think he gave him a fake reason for blowing up at him, Stolas would have understood.

Stolas singing the line "I don't think you ment to hurt me, because I don't think it meant a thing at all to you"

Oof that must have hurt.

"This whole thing we had going... I'm- I mean you're a fucking prince. How could you ever actually care for an imp... Me? How could anybody". Oh he regrets not believing Stolas cared for him.

And regrets missing his chance to comfort Stolas. (Blitz failed a QTE).

But ok big big difference here! Blitz has definitely misunderstood. Stolas' isn't crying.

He's edited out what a mess Stolas was here. Like he's forgotten how drunk he was..

And Stolas kissing the twunk is a perfect match... Oh that got seared into his brain didn't it.

Pure envy

Blitz so badly want that kind of romantic relationship

Barbie telling him he's ruined her life, and she never wants to see him again. (Just going to sob in a corner here).

And Loona. Both times are fights about being really family.

Loona: Oh, what does it matter?! You're not my real dad! I was almost eighteen!

Blitzo: It still counts!

Loona: Well, it shouldn't! I didn't need you then, asshole! I don't, now

Blitz needs to be needed by the people he loves. Otherwise he thinks they're leave him

Blitzo: Oh, Loona, my sweet baby girl! I'm so sorry, I'll never replace you no matter what you--

Looks like he still worried that she hasn't really forgiven him for saying he's replace her.

Blitz isn't just talking about Stolas here. He thinks if he's bankrupted IMP Milli, Moxxie and Loona will all leave him too. Spirals to rock bottom in this one.

So glad Millie could help pull him out.

[justanotherhh]

*rubs hands together* awww yeah, it's all coming together (and by "it" I mean slowburn setup in which two character who weren't ready for a relationship go through their own personal stories of growth and eventually come back together with newfound self-respect and a greater understanding of each other that lends itself to a healthier and stronger connection, alongside the feelings that they had already developed before then and a deep shared past, and apology tour was an important step to figuring out certain things about each other on that journey, but it'll be a few episodes yet, if not s3 before they're ready to give it a proper try pacingwise i believe + i still think stolas needs to consider things more from blitzo's pov, personally, like yeah my guy will dig a hole for himself that goes to the center of hell (as apology tour clearly depicted), but there were bits in his anger that weren't unjustified, you are a prince, and he is an imp and you've also looked down on imps + he's not lying about hating himself which is something worth digging into in terms of how ready he is to take your words at face value when he's not prepared for them on the basis of what the relationship had looked like from his side up until that point, however im not rushing things here, there's still a fair bit of story to go, and i like stolas in his "wait boys think im hot???" era and blitzo in his "ah, everything about me still sucks, but hey, i made up with my ex" era, and verosika in her "thriving, moving on, (slowly getting to) unbothered, having her say, catharsis" era)

(i wonder if barbie wire was on blitzo's apology list or if he knew it'd be a lost cause)

[warblogs17282]

Been thinking about Truth Seekers again, and this line from Loona in particular caught my attention.

"Blitzo was using a total of zero euphemisms, innuendos, or swears. That means it was serious, which means I don't open it until--"

And thinking about this scene through the lens of that statement makes it hit so much harder.

Like, just look at the transcript for this scene rq.

Moxxie: Do you remember what you said to me after my first day with the company?

Blitzo: ...Not really.

Moxxie: I remember. You told me I did a good job and that you were proud to work with me. I feel like you wanted to say something more judgmental, but... you said that because I needed it... And it helped.

Blitzo: Look, I'm hard on you, because I know what you're capable of, Mox. You care too much about what everyone thinks except for... me, because, y'know, my opinion is correct, but just... keep doing a good job. 'Kay? You shoot 'n kill good, you escape things easy... you can be strategic and cold-blooded when you need to, aaaand don't expect any more compliments; I'm maxed out.

Moxxie: Thank you, sir.

Blitzo: You know my name... Use it.

Moxxie: Thanks, Blitzo.

Zero euphemisms, innuendos, or swears are used during this scene, proving that Blitz was 100% being serious in this scene.

Stuff like this just makes me love Moxxie's and Blitz's relationship so much you have no idea man

[birdy-babe]

So like

I read/hear a lot about people saying that Blitz is obsessed with his employees because he longs for a relationship like theirs

Which I think is true

But I also think it could also be about him feeling like they aren’t really his friends - like they don’t really care about him.

I thought about this after rewatching Truth Seekers and hearing this line again:

Blitzo is referencing times in the past, that must have happened multiple times - enough to create a pattern of behavior- where he asked Moxxie to hang out but he said no in order to hang out with Millie.

Therefore he feels the need to tag along because it’s the only way they’ll hang out with him- they never want to hang out with him individually bc they want to be together, but when they are together, they want couple time - so they don’t invite Blitzo along and thus Blitzo never gets time with them outside of work.

Therefore he decides to just… force them to hang out with him… or hangs out with them from a far (by following and watching them).

Idk just some thoughts!

[stolasgoetia-alt]

Every time i rewatch Blitzo’s hallucination sequence in Truth Seekers i notice more.

Like, on a base level-

The steps to Stolas are difficult and slippery to climb at first, but the path clears as he climbs.

Stolas’s positioning and framing not only call out their significant class differences but also frame Stolas in a sort of heavenly position, at the top of an elegant marble stairway to heaven. Furthering a few things- it posits Stolas as something unattainable, something holy, something that might lead to good, but also something too good for him?

As he climbs the steps he is cleaned of the grime of his previous guilt and he regains himself (loses his clown outfit and appears how he usually does)- but in doing so he also becomes shackled in golden chains to stolas.

The chains being a reminder of what he fears about any relationship including with stolas- being ‘shackled’ (commitment-related issues) and then also, specifically, and importantly here- being seen as just a plaything to stolas.

Stolas is the most clear and realistically depicted of the characters in Blitzo’s hallucination. Closer than even Blitzo himself. Every other figure of his life that comes to taunt him is distorted. Not even Moxxie, who is in the room with him, comes close- even after his depiction shifts, he is in drag. What does this say? I think in part it furthers the fact that Stolas here seems to represent a kind of escape for Blitzo from the torment of everything else (but at what cost- i.e. the shackles).

AND something ELSE i noticed is that on his forehead for the majority of the hallucination Blitzo’s forehead mark is a clear broken heart. But on the steps to stolas it returns to its usual appearance. This is another way in which he regains his usual self, but also, this change specifically could speak to the potential of his heart healing?

Blitzo of course does not appear to be comfortable in the dynamic that hallucination-Stolas has brought him into, once he reaches Stolas, but even still, he snaps at Moxxie, which reads to me as that he wants to stay undisturbed in the moment. Maybe he thinks that that sort of power dynamic is the best that he would ever get or deserve.

[powerpuffobsession]

"Adam is a mysogynist. He doesn't deserve to be on the show anymore"

Lucifer, Alastor and Blitzo are mysogynists too. And yet they are treated well by the narrative and not deemed as worthy of being dead. That seems hypocritical

Blitzo (uses the slur "whore", used his girlfriend to steal her money and shuts her up every time she brings that up, insulted a woman with disabilities, insults and stalks Millie and uses the fact about her using a strap on on Moxxie to degrade her husband)

Alastor (slapped Vaggie's rear and pushed her to the floor to manipulate her girlfriend, sees Charlie's project as a joke and openly says so, disrespectfully shittalked her dad right in front of her)

Lucifer (degraded Eve and Lilith to a role of sex toys by bragging about how they wanted to fuck him during a fight with Adam, outloud, right in the middle of the streets, when he could have chosen any other way to piss Adam off)

But Adam makes one joke about how a groupie wanted the drummer instead of him (she had sex with him, so... it could have been an inside humour and she might have liked it, I guess, we never got the details), and his mysogyny is treated as worse than all of the actions listed above?

Dunno about his relationship with Lilith and Eve. I'm not gonna base my opinion on a shady book written by Lucifer and Lilith, I want actual objective flashbacks. And it seems kinda iffy that Lilith ran back specifically to Adam, to her supposed abuser, to make a deal that successfully allowed her to enter Heaven. And she abandoned Lucifer in the process. Something doesn't add up here. Do those two, Adam and Lilith, actually have that bad of a relationship?

[anthurak]

So here's something interesting I just thought of:

It seems pretty clear at this point that Charlie and Vaggie have some interesting parallels to Lucifer and Lilith, really in both directions: A Fallen Angel (Vaggie/Lucifer) falling in love with a (daughter of a) human sinner (Charlie/Lilith), or alternatively (assuming Vaggie was originally human) a Fallen Angel (Charlie/Lucifer) falling in love with a human woman (Vaggie/Lilith)

So now I'm wondering...

What if Emily is going to be this pair's parallel/foil to EVE?

Like just going off episode 6, we already have a very notable parallel:

Lucifer, as heaven would try to frame it, 'tempted Eve with forbidden knowledge'

And in this episode, we see Charlie reveal to Emily a TRUTH long hidden from her.

Add on to this the possibility of Emily also becoming a fallen angel and joining Charlie and Vaggie in Hell, and I think the parallels are already VERY strong.

Like I think it's all too easy to imagine Lilith, Lucifer and Eve turning out to be a failed/broken polycule, with Lilith and Lucifer having tried to welcome Eve into their relationship only for things to go terribly wrong (also, HELLO possible parallels/foils to Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie), so perhaps Charlie, Vaggie and Emily could end up representing a 'succeeding where their predecessors failed' foil to that as well.
