Love Triangles
I'm gonna be honest, the idea of Stolitz becoming a love triangle just to extend the drama seems so pointless to me.
Like, I just don't like the idea at all.
I've seen love triangles done so many damn times in media, and usually I'm fine with it, if done right....
However, introducing a love triangle to the Stolitz dynamic to the main couple already dealing with so many issues:
Self-esteem issues for both parties
Kings of Miscommunication
Unresolved trauma stemming from years of abuse
Differences in Class Hierarchy
Etc.
Frankly, I don't mind if they want to do it as a thing for one or two episodes, but to do it for like half a season or maybe even an entire season?
I just can't. I'd get so tired.
Even if we have 30 episodes left, Season 2 has introduced so many storylines that have yet to be finished, and who's to say Season 3 won't introduce more:
Moxxie’s ongoing issues with his father, Crim
Striker still being an antagonist towards IMP, who seems to especially have it out for Blitzø
The freaking Ozzie, Mammon, and Fizz situation
Blitzø’s ongoing path of redemption in general where he learns to deal with his severe self-hatred
Blitzø and his ongoing relationship issues with people other than just Stolas: Barbie, Verosika, and the I.M.P gang in general
Stolas needing to unlearn 30 years of internalized classism
Stolas needing to deal with the potential divorce
Stolas potentially losing his title
Stolas and his problems with Octavia
Etc.
My dudes as much as I love Stolitz, I do want to see the other characters as well...
#stolas goetia#blitzo#plus like Stolas isn't actually mad at him#he's hurt and he needed space to process the things that happened and the things Blitz said to him#and Blitz didn't give him that even when Stolas clearly stated that it hurt too much to talk to Blitz *right then*#so he got a little bit snappish in the garden like a cat hissing at someone who stepped on their tail#but that's it. that's literally all that is#he isn't mad and he certainly doesn't hate Blitz (idk *how* people got that from All 2 U when he literally puts all the blame on himself)#he even admits he still wants Blitz and is actively trying to figure out everything he did wrong and all the ways he hurt Blitz#he's going to be hung up on Blitz and haunted by how much pain he caused without even realizing it for a long fucking time to come#he's also been on a serious downward mental health spiral for a while now and has been severely depressed for decades#between all that and the nightmare of a divorce I can't imagine him even having the mental energy to spare to try genuinely rebounding#so a love triangle plot makes literally zero sense on any level#it'd also be incredibly boring and frustrating to watch while providing zero character growth to either of them#and on a meta level I can't see either Brandon or Bryce being happy with it#I don't think a love triangle is gonna be the thing that keeps them apart I think it's gonna be Octavia (and their own insecurities)#which would be way more in line with both Stolas and Blitz's characterizations as dads who would try to respect her feelings#and would add a character growth arc for Octavia#admittedly I do subscribe to the headcanon that because most owl species are strictly monogamous to one mate their whole lives#that means Stolas is wired that way too and he's already fallen in love with Blitz so I'm very biased against a love triangle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#addition +#helluva boss analysis
