#(I love Stolas but ya'll can't tell me that there isn't some Messed Up power dynamics at play here-

[burning-fcols]

✩ Power-Dynamic ✩

(On this blog we love and support Stolas, but we also acknowledge that there is a CLEAR imbalance of power here that goes beyond book ownership-

(Because Stolas is a Prince, a powerful member of a high-ranking and influential family... and Blitzo is an Imp. Lowly, discriminated against, and shown to be treated with little care even in the Prince’s own home. Lest we forget that Stolas had one thrown at him and showed no concern, despite the Imp being noticeably hurt afterward; as if it were a common and non-noteworthy occurrence. Stolas cares for Blitzo, but this care is reserved for HIM. Not his species, not even the ones close to Blitzy.  ❝  He’s my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones.  ❞  )

(Stolas has even been shown to refer to Blitzo as such when wanting him to do something, in a way that my over-analyzing mind shall contribute to him ‘reminding’ of his social standing and WHO it is Blitzo was talking to—  ❝  Sound fair, my little Imp?~  ❞  The word is punctuated at the end, drawing attention to it and acting as a cue for Blitz to realize that he’s not just Blitzy talking to Stolas. He’s an IMP talking to an oh-so-generous member of the Goetia family who has been ALLOWING— another word punctuated, to remind Blitzo that the only reason he’s come this far is because the Prince has been playing nice~ —him to use his book.)

(Even in the second episode he says that he was hoping  ❝  -you brave little Imps would accompany us.  ❞  The other times he has spoken to him with the affectionate nickname Blitzy, but when asking or suggesting Blitz do something- he’s pulled the ‘little Imp’ card. Not that Stolas doesn’t genuinely care for Blitzo and value him... but there’s a deep understanding of how Hell works and even some implicit bias that cause him to use his species as leverage.)

❝  You’re so CUTE when you are serious~  ❞

(Further speculation about the deal exchange under the Cut)

❝  -worked out some kind of ‘exchange’? Favors for favors...  ❞  

Stolas’s hand glowed red when making that statement— reminding me of how Alastor had a bust of glowing green when attempting to make a deal with Charlie, albeit the deer’s power was noticeably stronger and more potent... but this is likely because Stolas was harnessing very little and capable of tampering down the theatrics when utilizing his powers —and I shall choose to take that as him creating a bit of a ‘contract’ between him and Blitzo. Nothing as powerful and threatening as controlling a Soul, since I’m pretty sure there is a certain ‘procedure’ that needs to be followed when making deals of THAT nature... but definitely something that would come into effect should Blitzo attempt to weasel out of or ignore their Monthly Meetings.)

(Another post will likely be written just to show the effects the ‘binds’ my Stolas has placed will have. Nothing overly-major or suffocating... but a nice little extra security to ensure that his Little Imp doesn’t get any funny ideas.... and as a Side Note:  ❝  When isn’t it a bad time, Blitzy?  ❞  Stolas totally knew that it was a horrible time and USED Blitzo’s frazzled state as an extra means of getting him to hurriedly agree to his terms.)
