#Impish Blitzo

[wings-of-sapphire]

And we all knew what you’re talking about

Y'all the fact that a music video from an indie adult cartoon show looks and sounds leagues better than a major animation studio's 100th anniversary film is fucking hilarious.

[geekgirles]

Just Look My Way

Can we please talk about the way the lyrics have changed from the original to showcase Stolas' growth and character development?

I was already surprised that what originally looked like it was just going to be a fan video ended up becoming canon content, but when I heard the different lines my mind exploded, you guys.

Note the difference, the major difference, in treatment!

In the original version, which released back in season 1 but before Ozzie's, Stolas' line was actually:

"Come now, my little impish plaything, we've both made our choice."

Keep in mind the original most likely included this line as a reference to what both Striker and Stolas said in regards to Blitzo's relationship with Stolas. Even our dear owl boy referred to him as just a plaything while saving him from D.O.R.K.S! Which most likely only helped cement Blitzo's internalised belief that Stolas would never see him as anything other than a cheap thrill.

Here, however, Stolas is cementing him as his dearest! A loved one! Someone he values and cares for! That is a huge difference from being just a sexual partner!

And the second line. OMG, THE SECOND LINE.

Unlike the original, where Stolas speaks of a choice that, realistically, was never there (as it usually is the case with relationships where there's a power imbalance and, moreover, were born out of transactional needs), this time he is reaffirming Blitzo's agency and independence. The implied choice is clear: Stolas will present the asmodean crystal to him so he no longer relies on his Grimoire and sleeps with him out of necessity. All that's left for Blitzo now will be to choose if he wants to remain by Stolas' side even then. And the choice is his.

As a quick aside, I also love the constant symbolism between Blitzo and the Moon.

Technically, compared to Stolas and the Earth, both are just satellites, nowhere near as important as a Goetia demon and member of Hell Royalty or a planet brimming with life and where beauty and wonder happen at every corner. And yet, without them neither can thrive. Stolas is as fascinated and dependent of Blitzo as the Earth is with the Moon. Without the Moon, there's no tides; it brings inspiration and romance to countless souls, brightening the night sky, just like Blitzo brightens Stolas' life.

Blitzo is Stolas' moon, and I just think that's beautiful.

Every word in this line in particular just oozes character development, too.

The original was:

"What's left for me in this broken house if I cannot have you?"

This is no longer about Stolas using Blitzo to escape his boring routine and his horrible marriage to Stella, it's about Stolas being deeply and hopelessly in love with Blitzo and not knowing what to do to convey that in a way that will reach him.

Once again, Blitzo has stopped being a mere plaything or boy toy and become so much more. He has become an essential part of Stolas' life he doesn't know what he'll do without but knows he'll have to let go of if that's what Blitzo wants!

Now, I must admit I am not exactly a fan of this change in these particular verses. On the one hand, I understand it's meant to reflect Stolas is trying to understand Blitzo and see things from is point of view, but I also feel it robs the moment of the raw feeling the original conveyed:

"Is this how she'd feel? Abandoned, all alone, left to fend for herself, for a semblance of happiness that doesn't have to end?"

"She" clearly referring to Via.

I just think it would have been more powerful to keep it and allow that juxtaposition between the most important people in his life to help Stolas understand Blitzo better. After all, he loves them both dearly and unconditionally, but his actions have also hurt them both very deeply.

I just think it'd be fitting if one allowed him to understand the other better.

Nevertheless, if there is something this song has taught me, is this: we are so not ready for the next episode.

[fanthirtheen]

HelluvaVerse imps are maybe my new favorite creatures. They're a little bit feral. They purr. They have prehensile tails. They collect/hoard things (Blitzo's horses, Fizz's mirrors, Millie's weapons, Moxxie's musical shit[EDIT: guns. His hoard is guns, the fuck was i on? He likes musicals thats cool but we see him special interest in guns obv]. Their scars turn white. I bet you anything they're immune (but can carry) rabies. Sometimes larger/more powerful demons carry them around in their purse like a pet. Sometimes larger/more powerful demons fall head-over-heels in love with them. There is very little space in between these. They stick their tongues out like lizards when they're happy/feeling impish (pun intended). Their horns are cool. They're little.

Stolas’ Abuse Tactics On Blitz

Viv clearly does not want you to see Stolas as an abuser. However, there is a strong disconnect between how a writer may want you to interpret the story vs how it actually comes across, and how Stolitz comes across is disturbingly different from how Viv wants you to see it.

Out of curiosity, I decided to look at some abuse tactics online and see how many lined up with Stolas’ behaviour and. Holy shit. Viv is actually writing an abuser without realizing it. Let’s go through every tactic that Stolas uses, shall we?

Sexual Abuse

This one is very obvious and I don’t feel the need to explain it.

Threatening

Again, another obvious one; Stolas is directly threatening Blitz by taking away the thing he needs for his job, so Blitz wouldn’t have a choice but to accept the deal.

Gaslighting

Throughout all of season 1, Stolas repeatedly belittles and dehumanizes (or dedemonizes…? Idk) Blitz by treating him as a toy, his “impish little plaything”, and gives off the impression that he looks down on the imp. Blitz clearly feels uncomfortable by this and tells Stolas to stop, but he doesn’t.

However, once we get to Apology Tour, Stolas actively the denies the idea that he ever looked down on Blitz and claims that he never did. Stolas says that Blitz just has this idea about Stolas in his head that isn’t true despite the evidence saying otherwise, and claims that he always did his best to support Blitz.

This is gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation used by abusers to make the victim question themselves and their own sanity, which is what’s happening here.

(I forgot to mention the “I never realized you though to low of me” in Full Moon but that line absolutely comes across as gaslighting as well).

Playing The Victim

In that same episode, Stolas sings a whole song about how hurt he was by Blitz, how he “let Blitz get too close” or how he’s a motherfucker, framing Blitz as a horrible person and him as the person he hurt. Given the context here, this reads as Stolas playing the victim, making Blitz out to be a horrible person and singing about how hurt he felt, which again, given the context, this can be read as that.

Criticizing

Stolas accuses Blitz of being like Striker of all people in the first scene of Apology Tour, and says that he didn’t even bother to come save him when Striker captured him (even though he literally sent Millie and Moxxie to save him cuz he was busy).

He then paints and treats Blitz as someone too up his own ass to realize Stolas has true feelings for him, given the context Blitzo doesn’t come across as in the wrong in this scene like the narrative may want you think.

This is criticizing, which is an emotional abuse tactic that abusers use to assassinate the victim’s character as a way of demonizing them.

Stolas is an abuser

[cherrytea556]

"Stolas doesn't have an imp fetish, he loves Blitzo"

(a book he reads at the dinner table named; 'Imps in the sheets")

"Who dare threaten my impish little plaything..."

"Sound fair to you, my little imp"

Im just saying...blitzo had a point

[neeweekeewee]

I just finished Helluvaboss’s most recent episode “The Full Moon” and many of the themes surrounding Stolas’ and Blitzo’s rElAtiOnShIp make me even more uncomfortable than before…

For example:

Moxie telling Blitzo to “fuck him good” because their business is making good profits and they don’t want to lose Stolas’ book.

The last quarter of the show where they interact is just so…uncomfortably gaslighty on Stolas’ end. He’s been sexually abusing Blitzo and expects him to take Stolas in with open arms after he finally realizes “it’s wrong to sexually take advantage of the guy I have an obsession with, who is also of lower status than me.” Blitzo has made it clear in the first season how he felt like he was nothing but a sex toy to him and that Stolas made that very clear that all he wanted from him was sex. The consistency in this show is so all over the place in favor of this couple… it’s so cringe. From what we can see in the show, Stolas calls him demeaning pet names like “Blitzy” “My impish little play-thing” “My big-dicked Blitzy” and seems to always make unwanted sexual advances towards Blitzo instead of actually treating him with respect. Even when they’re in some form of danger, he makes it about sex.

“It’s like you cannot believe I might have these feelings about you and your first instinct is sex.”

My apologies….what??? This was their agreement? “On the full moon you bring the book to me and we have PASSIONATE FORNICATION.”

Blitzo had EVERY RIGHT to be upset that way. He is not in the wrong at all.

“Blitz I think so very highly of you, I didn’t realize you think so lowly of me….” LIKE YUCK BRO fuck outta here with that abuser shit.

It’s like the writers are COMPLETELY disregarding season 1….god this was a nightmare to watch.

Also some comments that made me uncomfortable/angry.

I loved the animation and the little glimpse of world building we got to see and that scene of BlitzFizz interacting was EVERYTHING to me.

They’re so much better for each other than Stolas and Blitzo.

[oatmealdoodles]

Apology tour spoilers

I kept putting this off because I pretty much agree with everybody else's takes on this, but I just want to get my opinions out anyways

So right off the bat we get THIS line from Blitzo

wow, gee, i wonder how that must feel like. Oh how i wonder

Anyways Stolas goes on directly to say that he doesn’t want to talk to Blitzo right know.

And you know what, thats vaid. All Stolas is saying in this entire interaction is “It’s too soon and i still mad at you, leave.” And i’m sorry but thats not an unreasonable request, especially after a fight that big. I was actually really impressed with how Stolas voiced his feelings thorough the entire confrontation: “I don't want to do words with you, so how about you respect that” “Seeing you right know is hard” “I don’t want to feel worse than I already do” “Im uncomfortable with how you’re speaking to me” This is textbook definition of healthy language.

And Blitzo for some reason just can’t respect that. Because he’s so dead set on getting things back to the status quo, what’s comfortable and familiar to him: this transactional relationship with no feelings, that he ignore Stolas’s requests blindly.

I saw someone claim that the show was trying to make it seem like Blitzo likes Stolas’s abuse, and I don’t think that’s what’s happening at all. Blitzo loves Stolas, that much is clear. But that doesn’t mean it’s healthy. And sometimes going back to an unhealthy relationship can feel better than without it, because that’s what’s familiar, what’s comfortable. Even if it’s not good for you. Especially for Blitz who already has so many abandonment insecurities. This actually happens a lot in real life and Im glad that HB decided to explore it.

But Stolas doesn’t get off the hook that easily

My dude, WHAT? Listen, Stolas, you are my favorite part of this episode. Nay, this show. But JESUS CHRIST WOULD EVEN AN OUNCE OF SELF AWARENESS KILL YOU???? “Impish little plaything,” “itty itty imp,” “you are so cute when you are serious,” “Blitzy,” none of that ringing a bell? SERIOUSLY??

Ok in all seriousness I think this line really emphasizes that Stolas is completely ignorant to the very prevalent power dynamic between them. He has no idea that all these actions and things he says to Blitzo hurt him. And that doesn’t makes it ok. Listen, Stolas has demonstrated that he’s willing to put in the work to improving himself. Just now I mentioned how his language changed to be more constructive and effective. The Stolas from the pilot and the Stolas in the last few episode are drastically different people. What Stolas needs is his own call-out episode, someone to give him a slap in the face and say “What you did is F’ed up” and for him to APOLOGIZE to Blitzo.

Also my man ate up this entire exchange

I have a bit less to say about the Striker stuff, I honestly don't think t was too relavent to the conversation, it’s just more well-written angst with fantastic animation and expressions. And seeing Blitzo slowly realize he screwed up was great too.

Unrelated but this probably to the biggest laugh out of me this episode

Brandon Rogers and Bryce Pinkham continue to be the best voice acting pair I’ve seen in a long time

and guys we FINALLY got Blitzo airing out his feelings to Stolas, completely dumping everything on the table. And then he just backpedals so violently because he’s scared of letting people see his true self, in fear they might hurt him. Also Stolas’s face be like “that escalated quickly…”

To be honest i could go on and on about all the little charachter detains and mannerisms, the animation, and how BEAUTIFUL the colors are. I want to talk about the section at the party, but this is already long enough. I might make a part two if i find the time, but those were just my thoughts

[bump-inthe-night]

Vivziepop is trying so hard to manipulate the fans into believing Stolitz is this “healthy” relationship filled with misunderstandings instead of a toxic relationship with a massive power imbalance. 

“Stolas treated Blitzo as an equal!” No, Stolas gave him a derogatory nickname such as “impish plaything” and only spoke sexually about him. 

“Stolas and Blitzo are childhood friends!” No, Paimon bought Blitzo for his son’s birthday to entertain him, and neither of them spoke to each other for 25 years. 

“Blitzo has had feelings for Stolas this entire time!” No, he’s only expressed annoyance and discomfort around the Goetia prince because of his sexual harassment and unconsensual touching. 

“Blitzo made his entire relationship with Stolas sexual!” No, Stolas is the one who coerced the imp in exchange for his grimoire and sexually harassed him numerous times throughout the show.

Vivziepop is rewriting their relationship to make it seem like Stolas and Blitzo are destined to be together, despite it being a blatantly toxic, one-sided mess.

[spopsalt]

"I think so very highly of you...I never realized that you think so low of me..."

Hm....so that's what you claim Stolas...well let's look at what you've done in the show that show exactly how you feel about Blitzo. Feel free to reblog with your additions!

Patronized him in Loo Loo Land when Blitzo makes it clear he's not interested in Stolas' advances "You are so cute when you are serious"

2. Calls Blitzo "My little imp" "My impish little plaything " and "Blitzy" which this one would be fine on its own if Blitzo didn't make it clear that he hates that nickname and Stolas only stops when Blitzo lashes out at him in "Ozzies"

3. Flirts with Blitzo multiple times while Blitzo always responds by getting annoyed/uncomfortable

4. Patronizes Blitzo by taking out a cigarette on him, pinching his cheek, and calling him an "Itty bitty imp" in condescending baby talk

5. Coerecies Blitzo by forcing him to have sex with him in exchange for the grimoire

6. Embrassed him in front of a lot of people at the harvest festival

7. Calls him sexual nicknames that makes him uncomfortable, for example "My big dicked Blitzy"

8. Graphically describes sexually things to Blitzo while Blitzo is uncomfortable

9. Hid his face when he was seen with him at Ozzies" then apologized for it in a fucking text message

10. Wonder why he doesn't love you after everything you have done to him.

Gee I wonder why he couldn't see how highly you think of him. Oh wow. What a perplexing mystery this is. Hm wow I wonder why oh man this is tough...

[birdy-babe]

UNPOPULAR HELLUVA BOSS OPINION

I actually think Stolas calling Blitzø “Blitz” and not “Blitzy” is positive character development- HEAR ME OUT

I’m a linguist. So when I think about the addition of the -y on his name, that is known as an English diminutive, which is an affix added to a word to make the it smaller / cuter. Some examples of this are: Dog -> doggy, Cat/Kit -> Kitty, etc.

This is how we got a lot of English words like “tiny” “teensy” “baby” “stubby” “mini” “itty bitty” and more because that -y (or the -y sound) at the end indicates smallness.

When considering the political context of Helluva Boss, adding the -y to Blitz name could be seen as degrading, or emphasizing his smaller place in the world. Especially when it accompanies other nicknames that Stolas uses in season 1 like “little ones” “impish little plaything” “itty bitty imp” to refer to Blitzo and other imps. It’s like he’s constantly reminding Blitz of how small he is.

So from Blitz perspective, he could see this nickname reminding him of his “place in the world” which, in the context of the show, is “inferior.” And each time Stolas uses “Blitzy” it feels degrading and belittling.

Especially when Blitzo works so hard to fight against that box that Hell places him in. In the Harvest Moon episode, Striker tells him how it’s impressive that he started his own business, because not many Imps do that.

So these nicknames and this attitude from Stolas might also indicate him not taking Blitzo and his business seriously. His business is something we know Blitzo values above most things.

Which is why I think Blitzo hates it so much.

And thus I like when Stolas uses “Blitz” instead- I feel, from Blitzo’s perspective, it more respectful. Using his name makes it seem like Stolas really does view them as equals.

But that’s just a theory-

A helluva theory

[elf-kid2]

The thing about *Mastermind,* is that it's true that Blitzo broke demon law. The truth is, he DID try to steal a valuable Goetia-owned Grimoire. The truth is, he DID lead I.M.P in illegal, off-the-books trips to Earth.

((And those trips lead to skirmishes with Heavenly forces, Demon Hunters getting enough credibility for "Holy Crusade" type funding, and a cult of demon-cursed goats. This is illegal for a REASON!))

But you have to remember that the Trial wasn't ABOUT Truth or Justice. This was about Law and Order, and maintaining the status quo.

Prince Andrealphus started by accusing them of things they had actually done-- then went on to accuse Blitzo of forcing himself on Stolas: a transparent bid to public ally insult & humiliate his Ex-Brother In Law.

The Sins weighed in on the matter-- but they were clearly more focused on their own rivalries and alliances. Asmodeus spoiling for a fight with Mammon for largely unrelated reasons, and Gluttony aligning herself with Lust-- and also, the thing with the imps is probably not a big deal; Blitzo is entertaining enough to keep around, right?

Vassago pushes back against Andrealphus, but it's not because he cares one way or another about the imps who are on trial. He cares about Prince Stolas being slandered before the Court, and demands that he be allowed to speak for HIMSELF, instead of being ""represented"" by his Ex-Wife's Brother, who hates him.

The truth is, none of them care about the truth about what the lowborns did or did not do. The Trial is an excuse to play politics, to try and push up their own factions or push down their rivals in court. The worst thing they did was try to rise above their station.

This is about Law and ORDER.

To maintain the status quo, to preserve the social order, to get this tedious political squabbling over with so they could all go to lunch-- they decided to skip the "evidence" rigmarole, and go straight to the Public Execution.

2/3rds of the Deadly Sins present, and a landslide majority of the Goetia Nobles voted in favor of going straight to Public Execution, and neither King Asmodeus nor Queen Bee were going to go against Law, Order, and the Majority Vote to put their necks out for a bunch of yokels who definitely did SOME of the crimes they'd been accused of.

When Stolas stepped in and "was so overcome by hubris that he just HAD to tell everybody about his Brilliant Master Plan to use the Grimoire for undocumented personal use in the Mortal Realm and let his Impish minions take the fall," it saved Blitzo's life.

Instead of showing Impkind what happens when an imp steps out of line and makes an attempt at upward mobility, Satan decided to make an example out of Stolas.

Toe the Party Line, sing with the Goetia Chorus, and keep your personal vices, affairs, and Evil Plans DISCREET at a BARE MINIMUM, or else you'll have your privileges taken away and your rivals will be allowed to ascend.

.

Truth didn't matter. Justice didn't matter. The deaths of the imps & hellhound who'd been accused of variously plausible crimes... Didn't matter.

Maintaining Law and Order, and keeping us the status quo by making an example out of SOMEBODY? That was what mattered, to Satan and the Court.

How long do you think it took//will take, to realize that those plebian nobodies walking out ALIVE is something that MATTERS A LOT?

How long before they notice the ripple effects?

[chaifootsteps]

Its quite impressive to see Stolas go "I didnt know you thought so low of me" WHEN THIS SAME BIRD CONSTANTLY BELITTLED THE FUCK OUT OF HIS OWN "PARTNER". DIDNT YOU REDUCE BLITZO INTO AN IMPISH PLAYTHING??? PUT OUT YOUR CIGARRETTES ON HIS FORHEAD???? HARRASSED THE HELL OUT OF HIM WHEN HE WAS OBVIOUSLY SHOWING DISGUST FOR THE THINGS YOU WERE SAYING TO HIM????

It's like, YES YOU DID. HE FUCKING TOLD YOU.

[localcanadiancreature62]

So Helluva Boss Ep 11 right?,yup i'm normal about it. Lemme just.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FJDIDJDNDKDKDKD AHAHAHAHHAA FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHH. Andrealphus' cool ice powers (pun unintended),the fact that the I.M.P gang was 100% ready to be on the run together with Blitzo despite having them more hostile relationship in the pilot,the fucking court scene,Bee and Ozzie sticking up for Blitzo,STOLAS AND BLITZO SINGING AND THE TWO FINALLY ADMIT THEIR FEELINGS TO EACH OTHER IN SONG AAUGHHH DJSJDNSNKDDN,STOLAS BEING COMPLETELY WILLING TO DIE FOR BLITZO EVEN THOUGH HE WAS JUST AN IMPISH LITTLE PLAYTHING TO HIM BACK THEN?,BLITZO CRYING WHEN HE THOUGHT THAT STOLAS WAS GOING TO DIE?,FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FHSIDJDJDJ AAAAAAAAAAAAA I NEED TO THROW SOMETHING,THE I.M.P GANG CRYING WHEN THEY THOUGHT THAT BLITZO WAS GOING TO DIE?,ANDY BEING A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT THAT WAS TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE THINK THAT BLITZO RAPED AND TRIED TO KILL STOLAS,STOLAS ADMITTING THAT HE WAS THE MASTERMIND JUST TO SAVE BLITZO?,AUGHHHHHHHH. Also not Stella being a two faced bitch and trying to *comfort* Octavia when she was the one that caused all this shit in the first place,Stolas losing everything and having to be with I.M.P,Blitzo finally being able to be open about his feelings with Stolas and even bathing him and giving him a cheek kiss?. Also not the "you are my light,you are my heart" line 😭😭😭😭. SOBBING. SOBBING RIGHT NOW. I AM NORMAL ABOUT THEM IM NORMAL I'M NORMAL IM NORMAL IM NORMAL IM NORMAL AHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHSHDHJSDNDKDKDNDMM. Also also it's funny that Blitzo and Stolas' roles were reversed in the end,with Stolas being hated for being the deviant goetia while Blitzo got praised for being a brave example for imps. And also Satan being the original ruler of Hell before Lucifer became the new leader is a pretty interesting detail,wondering where they're gonna take that one... Lmao not Helluva doing better than Hazbin with it's storytelling and character dynamics. This fucking episode makes me go insane. I need to i need to i need to-

[hill-art02]

"Stolas doesn't have an imp fetish"

So I guess all these times when Stolas:

*obsessed over Blitzo's genitals*

*constantly calling Blitzo "Blitzy" even when he's clearly bothered by it*

*reading a book on the dining table called "Imps in the sheets"*

*straight-up called Blitzo, "his impish little plaything"*

Is just him not knowing how to socialize, huh?

[oceansarepink]

I wouldn't blame anyone for finding Look My Way too Stolas-sympathetic and weepy but honestly I think on the whole it's way better than most of the songs he gets in the show

and that's because it actually has a narrative arc to it. Stolas reflects on his life, realizes he is the problem between him and Blitzo, actually shows some empathy for the armor Blitzo has developed as a result of being impoverished, then decides on an action: making amends for making Blitzo a means to an end. and it retains his original classist character by having the impish plaything line that the show whitewashed over

it still has the same problem anything Stolas related does in that it's hard to care about his repeated pleas for Blitzo to look his way, but it's a far more concise view of him as a character and crucially he actually shows some ability to self reflect in it and then take action based on his conclusions

ParanoidDJ released the original after ep6 but honestly it would fit perfectly in the show after ep7, where Stolas comes back in from the party. instead of getting drunk, maybe he stops and makes himself think about where things went wrong

instead the songs he has in the show are

Stolas Sings - immediately implies Blitzo lied to him, so no self reflection or introspection. It's set up he'll go to get a crystal but that isn't referenced in the lyrics, it's just a split second freeze frame when he chucks his book into view of the camera which is bad storytelling. It's all self focused self pity - he's the victim and that's that. no sign of care for what he's done to Blitzo or Via unlike Look My Way.

All 2 U - a breakup reflection where he does no self reflection or introspection. blames Blitzo for stuff he did (let him get too close/go on too long/fell too far). all self focused self pity - he's the victim and that's that

duet number - does say he maybe did something wrong, but it only counts if Blitzo didn't actually want him (then when Blitzo confirms that, he proceeds to...show no self reflection or introspection - just he's the victim and that's that, you get the idea)

the show numbers not only fail to move the plot forward, they don't move Stolas' character forward at all. Look My Way really sticks out as one of his numbers because it's basically the only one where he does explicitly say 'I'm in the wrong and need to fix things' where in the show it's always 'maybe I did something wrong, maybe, but you hurt me so you're more wrong and I'm putting off doing any self reflection on what my issues are until Tuesday - when I'll put it off again'.

he's far more proactive in LMW too - he doesn't sound like he'll just give up on making amends at the first failure. meanwhile Show Stolas has done only two proactive things when it comes to Blitzo onscreen: making the deal and breaking the deal. both things were done for his own benefit and he's now back to being passive and expecting Blitzo to be the one to come crawling back to court him even though Blitzo has every reason to think he moved on with the succubus dude to spite him in particular

This moment here

It wasn’t him feeling some guilt/remorse for how obnoxious and forceful he behaved, or sympathy for Blitzs unhappiness. He is thinking “Aww….he doesn’t love me, that makes me so sad. Poor me. I deserve love. I just want a lover.”

Well anon, the simple explanation LMW stolas is so different…..is, Vivienne/Sam Haft didn’t write that. They both do think stolas is the more innocent and more victimised party. That’s why before Full Moons confrontation, stolas has sung not one, not two but three sad ballads about his soft boy romantic feelings. And it’s why stolas’ personality was changed drastically between his nasty truth seekers self to his Ozzies bleeding heart self. To make you forget his 1-6 self ever happened and pity him.

While blitz was only allowed to smirk and make sex jokes in a verse of stolas’ third sad song. With the intent of making him look like the “real” pervert with a cold black heart. His verse in when I see him was intended by Sam to set up “that your first instinct is that it’s always (gasp) about sex (closes eyes solemnly)” line. Stolas is allowed to have an inner monologue, desires, worries, regrets and hopes. Blitz is only allowed say “fuck” “penis” and “im traumatised”** with an asterisk saying that makes him an asshole and not “baby” stolas’ fault. Spoken to you in apology tour dialogue delivered by the lovely: Vivienne Mayday aka Verosika Medrano.

Viv didn’t write look my way, and disagrees with the narrative.

She hates Octavia for not being more grateful to her father and thinks stolas deserves to be free from being her parent. So took his line about her out of the song. Twitter emboldened her to go through with this belief. So she took her line out of LMW.

She hates blitz for disliking upper classes, implies he’s “just like a supremacist” against princes for it. I think this also came from Twitter. You are NOT allowed to point out the racism of stolas or you’ll be branded a striker sympathiser.

She agrees with stolas fans that the real reason blitz doesn’t trust stolas’ gifts with no catch is nothing to do with stolas’ previous exploitative transactional actions….it is….because of his own mean imp father? Because Cash taught him love is transaction. A very convenient excuse Viv absorbed again, from Twitter and YouTube.

Cuz….it was cash. Not the sexual extorter who held his job over his head. That’s his soulmate cause owls only mate once via eye contact and die of broken hearts if they can’t have their mate forever. His 25 year long lust for someone he only knew as a child isn’t weird at all wdym. In fact all the bad stuff is Blitzs fault.

She absorbed all of this nonsense from Twitter takes, specifically the stolas stans, because she thinks putting fandom talking points into canon is a safe bet. The actual story is out the window, there isn’t one.

See how letting the stolas fandom twitter write your story for you makes for a biased fucked up victim blaming story that coddles a sexual abuser with “involuntarily celibate” arguments?

When she makes stolas reflect and take accountability, the reaction she wants you to have is “Poor baby stolas blames himself which shows what a good little boy he is! Even though nothing is ever his fault!” She just wanted to make money off of someone else’s work.

Sharing gifts made from your own feathers is an incredibly intimate gift, but Stolas is utterly elated to make a new down feather pillow for his beloved Blitzy (who was shit at sewing and had collected the wrong feathers), whom he is now lovingly nursing back to health. But he's got to be sure Blitzo understands how important this gift is.

words : 10,910 I.M.P. wrecks their van and doesn't have the funds for repairs. So they try out a new fundraising app, date selling. For 24 hours, Blitzo is going to be at the mercy of the highest bidder, and he doesn't understand just how bad it could have gone, if Stolas hadn't have snatched that deal up in 26 seconds. Stolas just wants to spend some wholesome time with his favorite little Blitzy. Blitzo can't comprehend that, and the longer they go without getting intimate, the more anxious he gets. He has to come to terms with the fact that making Stolas feel good is more important to him than he thought.

words : 25,770 If Stolas was really, truly honest, he wanted to find love. But it would be a grave mistake to admit that to an Overlord. Stolas lifted his chin and looked out the window again, this time feigning disinterest as he tried to remember what he wrote. “Someone who sees me for me and not as Prince Stolas. Someone family-oriented is essential. Confident and charming. Loyal. It would be nice if he had a creative side.” “A Prince Charming,” Vox supplied. The smog of the city hung heavy in the red sky. Ignoring the heat he felt creeping up his neck, Stolas said, “I suppose so.” or Married at First Sight: Hell's Edition, set a year before canon. I figured signing up for Married at First Sight would be a very Blitz thing to do.

words : 20,963 Ozzie’s was a fucking disaster and, even though Blitzø knew it wasnt all his fault, Stolas had barely texted him since. Now he didn’t even want to get his monthly dicking down. “Ugh,” he groaned into the wood. If only Stolas would forget the whole thing ever happened. … Blitzø flipped open the Grimoire and skimmed the pages as fast as he could. Stolas had all kinds of dumb spells in here. There was surely something to make him forget that stupid mistake— Bingo. or Blitzø tries to wipe Stolas's memory of Ozzie's

words : 19,929 Sometimes Blitzø played roulette. He’d go out to the bar without cash and see if he could steal 10 drinks before he got the shit kicked out of him. Or he’d spin the wheel on the night’s hookup and whether they’d be able to keep his mind from wandering. And then there were times like tonight.

words : 10,994 They were still feeling it all out, learning how to date, live together, and work together without everything becoming too much of a tangled-up shitstorm. It was whatever — still kinda new, casual, low-pressure. Blitzø didn’t wake up every morning, look over at Stolas all curled up with crust in the corners of his eyes and drool half-dried in his feathers, and realize that he understood exactly what all those sappy ballads on the radio were wailing about. And he DEFINITELY didn’t have to constantly ignore that pulsing pit in his stomach, scarily deep and black as blood, that insisted it was all going to blow up one day (just like everything else, everyone else) and when it did, it would be entirely his fault. So, y’know. Nooooo big deal. - It's been nearly a year since Stolas was disowned by the Goetia family, losing his riches, his home, and his job. It's also been five and a half months since Stolas and Blitzø officially became a couple. Blitzø is still struggling to feel like he deserves any of it. Well, he knows one thing for sure. His boyfriend wants a winter under the stars, and Blitzø is gonna figure out how to give it to him, one way or another.
