#Hurt Blitz

[blitzwhore]

Thinking about this moment again—

—and imagining what would happen if Blitz was badly hurt by a Goetia here. Maybe Blitz jumping in is just enough of a distraction that either Stolas or possibly Octavia (arriving at the scene just in time) are able to jump into action and get them both out of there through a portal, but not before Blitz is attacked and severely injured.

Thinking about Stolas rushing Blitz to a hospital, holding him desperately close as Blitz bleeds out in his arms. Thinking of Blitz being unable to speak, quickly losing consciousness; about Blitz feeling content and lucky that he gets to go in Stolas' arms, but remorseful that he didn't get to tell Stolas how he really felt before he died. Meanwhile, Stolas is moving heaven an earth for Blitz to be seen and treated immediately, only half-realising that his privilege as a Goetia might be the only thing standing between Blitz and death.

Thinking about Stolas in the aftermath, once the worst of it has passed. Blitz is alive, but still in critical condition, and is unconscious on the hospital bed. And as the hours go by Stolas wonders if he should leave, but he can't, because Blitz came back, Blitz saved him, despite it being a death sentence for him to do so. He can't go now. He can't leave Blitz's side.

Thinking, too, of Stolas, who has previously been at a party full of people dedicated to hating Blitz, now seeing the hospital room slowly fill with people who love Blitz.

His employees, Moxxie and Millie. They sit by his side for hours, whispering amongst themselves and occasionally talking to Blitz, updating him on their lives. Millie holds Blitz's hand in hers; Moxxie alphabetises all the gifts Blitz gets because he knows Blitz likes things organised that way. There's a lot of gifts in the 'H' section, of course.

Fizzarolli, who could never make the same mistake again and not visit his injured best friend at the hospital; and Ozzie, too, who is there not just to keep Fizz company but also because he cares about Blitz, because he knows just how much Blitz and Fizz mean to one another.

And Loona.

She's so quiet. She never speaks to anyone, mostly just scrolling on her phone, and barely ever leaves Blitz's side, not even during the night. Stolas doesn't know why; he doesn't know that Loona made a promise that she wouldn't let her dad die alone, doesn't know that he's all she has in this world and she needs him and she's scared, even if she would never admit it. But he can see that she loves him. That she cares.

Thinking about Stolas getting to see the other half of Blitz's rocky history with relationships. Getting to see all the people who care, who worry, who are thankful and loyal to Blitz, who couldn't bear to lose him. And thinking of Stolas realising that, just as he's far from the only one whose heart Blitz has broken, he is also not the only one who has felt awakened, embraced, seen, and freed because Blitz came into his life. He's not the only one whose life Blitz has saved.

Thinking of Stolas finally seeing the pattern. Finally understanding that Blitz keeps changing others' lives for the better, and being too blinded by his own self-hatred to realise it himself.

And thinking of Stolas maybe, just maybe, falling a little bit more in love with Blitz by seeing him through the eyes of every other person who has grown to love him. Of Stolas impatiently waiting for Blitz to wake up so he can join everyone else in loving Blitz the way he deserves to be loved.

It’s the way that Blitz had EVERY intention of going to save Stolas

It wasn’t until M&M convinced him to let them go alone

Which he even turned around and questioned “are you SURE you can do it alone?” Because if he had any doubt that there was a chance that they would fail to save Stolas HE WOULD HAVE GONE

So for everyone who hates on blitz for not going to save Stolas- HE WOULD HAVE IF 1. m&m didn’t convince him that they had it handled and 2. He knew Stolas was in REAL danger

Goodbye, Blitz. 💔

[sneakingpasta]

The storyboards for this are crazyyyyy

We got Blitz being an unbothered shopping king with a waist so cinched it could make the Haus of Holbein jealous

"Awwww poor bwitz! Finally having to own that his actions affect other people's feefees!"

"The worst part is you still make me feel like a bad person for being anrgy at you now."

Girl no. You have every right to hate him. He bailed on her and robbed her because she told him she loved him. Verosika deserves so much better. She desvers someone that loves her back.

Verosika was honestly the best person to give Blitz this wake up call. Realising how much he HURT her and broke her heart made him feel bad. He knows he needs to do better now.

Verosika was so mature about this too. A lot of people would have just slapped him, but she actually talked to him. She may not forgive him (she doesn't have to.) But she knows he's not evil, just an asshole. He CAN change. She won't let her hate for him stop her from making that clear in her conversation.

She's also a good friend to Stolas when he needed one. Love you girl. ❤️

I think that one of the aspects of Blitzø's circus life we all usually forget about is that he has always lived in the context of a community

Let's say he was 20 when the fire happened - those were 20 years in living on the road (in "The Circus" Paimon said that the circus was "In town", so it definitely was a traveling circus) not just with his close family (mother, sister + Fizz and shitty dad) but also a whole lot of other people that definitely he saw as family too. Cash was also the owner of it so Blitzø probably was one of the main go-to people there being the boss' son and all. He sucked at being a clown? He could be useful in other ways, helping mending caring for the horses (getting sold around to earn more money *cough cough*)

I think it's safe to assume that he has spent more than half of his life knowing nothing but family. Love. Unity. Community. And then suddenly he was left with nothing at all. Estranged from everything and everyone, all of his "family" turned their backs on him, accusing him of something he would have never never done on purpose and has been forced (and has forced himself) to live alone ever since, not really creating bond with others anymore - at least not until he adopted Loona and gave himself a new chance at the whole "family" and "community" thing. And then welcoming Millie and Moxxie in (I'm 100% sure Ghostfuckers will show us how he met Millie and how that will be similar to his encounter and relationship with Moxxie) - picking up "outcasts" or people that anyway feel lost and alone like him because he knows what it's like to feel like that and how much better it is being together

"You tried the solo act" but it ended up badly, because he simply cannot phantom living alone, no matter how hard he tries convincing himself that he is better off alone and people are better off without him. That man is so full of love to give because despite everything he was brought up with nothing but love and unity around him and has been aching for it since forever

I was chatting with @akirathedramaqueen about our fic, and in the context of that fic, she said that "sex is an instrument of avoidance" for Blitz and Stolas.

And that made me realize that in the show, at the beginning of Apology Tour, Blitz is using sex to try to be close to Stolas while avoiding talking about things that are too big and daunting and scary at the moment.

I'm not saying that he's right to avoid the important topic or try to push aside Stolas's feelings or deny him space. But . . . the guy's worldview just got ripped apart. And then foundation of that worldview is having sex with Stolas. He's trying to regain some normalcy.

So am I defending him acting sexual here to an unhinged degree? Yes and no. But we should keep in mind that this behavior used to work. And if it doesn't work, he needs to . . . confront his fear of true intimacy and his own inadequacy? Just go on without Stolas in his life? Those are terrifying things.

Blitzø drew art of him dating Millie and Moxxie 😭

[anemicjellyfish]

Trying not to think about Blitzø being pushed away from everyone for so long

From his family

From his closest friend

Trying not to think about Blitzø being sent away that night

Portaled out so gently, without so much as a feather brushing against him

And trying not to think of a future where Blitzø breaks and begs not to be left again.

[aarafox]

Did we all notice the massive broken heart behind Blitz when they zoom in on his face when he sees Stolas kissing someone else?

[neatfrog]

I’m honestly surprised at myself for not noticing/thinking about how Stolas was very likely triggered by Blitzø stomping after him and screaming/insulting him because he dealt with it so much from Stella. As someone who has *been* in an abusive relationship, it takes so long to get out of that fight or flight mindset where you just shut down the second someone starts yelling (at least in my case). It’s been like 8 years now and I still flinch at loud voices even if they’re not directed at me.

soooo yeah I don’t blame Stolas for booting him out at that point

[akirathedramaqueen]

Okay, that's probably completely random, and way too philosophical, but hear me out.

Stolas pushes forward. Blitzø pushes away.

Stolas longs for connection; Blitzø is scared of it.

Stolas is a flow. Blitzø is an ebb.

Stolas reaches for the shore; Blitzø runs back as soon as the wave gets too close to it.

Stolas is Yin. Blitzø is Yang.

Stolas is passive and introspective, while Blitzø is active and extroverted. Though the pattern is different, it still holds true due to the different perspective.

But the idea is the same. Together they are whole.

They are literally designed to be like that. Their traits complement each other perfectly - the weaknesses of one are the strengths of the other.

If they were gods in their world, they would represent different polarities, with contrasting pantheons, but only with them together the universe could possibly exist - there is no light without dark, no fire without water, no life without death.

But they are out of balance. Their pasts threw them off their true selves, made them people they are not meant to be. It's as if the moon's gravity suddenly became too strong, causing tidal waves to destroy everything around instead of being an essential part of the ecosystem. It's as if they were koi fish swimming in the pond in a perfect circle, only to be caught and damaged, disrupting the harmony of the flow because of broken fins and gills.

They hurt each other and disturb the world around them because they are traumatised. They were created to be whole, but with chipped parts of their souls, they no longer fit.

The tradegy is that by the time they met, they still attracted each other, but they could not stand their new personas. And even more depressing is the fact that they desperately need to reconnect; without it, they self-destruct even more.

They need a lot of reflection and healing to recognise how perfect they are together, if only they give it a chance.

And we all wait for that moment to happen.

[birdy-babe]

They are so tragic it makes my heart explode

[blitzsicedcoffee]

Gearing up for ghostfuckers angst, I am going to write that Striker kidnapping Blitz fic and it's going to be really torturous for Blitz I am so sorry (no im not). maybe it'll have a happy ending (probably not without a ton of trauma). but stolas will save him! (not until the damage has been done).

[lexieloo28]

AHHHHHH THE NEW HELLUVA BOSS HAS ME RAHHHH 😿😿😿😿😿

STOLAS IS SO SAD

AND LOOK AT BLITZØ’S LITTLE ANXIOUS HANDS

YEAH GO HAVE YOUR SAD ANIME EYES MOMENT, YOU DESERVE IT

I’m really glad he had that conversation with Verosika tho. She was really mature about it, and I’m happy to see Blitzø acknowledging that he really needs to change. I’m hopeful for the future :)

BUT FOLKS LETS BE REAL IM JUST SUPER HYPED FOR FHAT NEW VEROSIKA DROP, WHENS IT COMING TO SPOTIFY PLS VIV PLS
