“All Blitzøs relationships are transactions” counterpoints.

Uh, no. You guys are seriously making no sense. He is used to having his familial and friend relationships partially take place in a work environment. But he still loves people unconditionally outside of work. The ‘endgame’ is stolas becoming a receptionist so this headcanon that he’s the exception is plain false.

Stolas has always been the one who asks for a ‘special requests’, protection, favours, rescue, finding Via, performing on stage, some type of an ‘exchange’. Not Blitzø. He stole from him which is not a transaction, then stolas turned it into one. Sex.

Even in this crystal confession, he is giving Blitzø a gift in exchange for staying with him and providing for Stolas’ romantic fantasies, wants, and desires, for free. And if Blitzø isn’t willing to give him what he wants, he quickly replaces him with a new better qualified man who can.

Blitzø doesn’t believe stolas truly loves him, he believes he just satisfies Stolas’ romcom fantasies. And he’s completely right. Stolas just wants “someone” in his rebuttal he didn’t mention transaction a single time.

That crystal was him trying to buy his love.

This is still his dad outside of work. Nothing changes that.

This is still his best friend, past and present, with nothing to do with work. They do not have a give and take between them. As kids Blitzø really wasn’t good at his job, but Fizz didn’t care. As adults Fizz didn’t ask Blitzø to be his bodyguard, he chose to be.

His two most cherished people, his mother and sister, he was not in a transaction with either of them. As they are working class, they had to be employed to support their family. If you guys think that’s a non genuine transactional relationship, then you have a very skewed privileged worldview.

His sister even now, is not in a transaction with him. She’s his sister no matter what and he wants to make sure she’s okay and to help her. Do you think he breaks into her rehab facility to get money?

Moxxie and Millie, he may feel like they wouldn’t want to be around him if not for being paid. But the opposite clearly isn’t true. He continuously approaches them outside of work, in Harvest Moon the first people he thinks of when he’s presented with a day off work for fun, is the two of them. Millie also allows him and Moxxie to stay at her parents home on the night off. That’s not transaction. If it was she’d ask him to pay for it. Both sides willingly spend time with each other outside work.

And the BIGGEST counterpoint of them all: Loona.

He gains practically nothing by keeping her around. Adopting her was his choice. She is hostile to him but he loves her anyway.

She is bad at her job, but despite that, despite not earning him anything, despite not gaining anything via transaction, he refuses to leave her or ever replace her. The thought sickens him and enrages him.

All of his romantic/sexual exes were also not ‘transactional’. He dated Verosika in his own words, he wasn’t her sex worker and she wasn’t his.

He simply doesn’t want to be in a relationship with a rich guy where he does all the taking as a pampered sugar baby and none of the giving. That’s because he’s independent, not that he can’t conceptualise relationships unless it’s for work. That’s evidently not the case.

TLDR;

For others, transaction of money occurred, but there was still a bond of personal intimacy there. For stolas, the intimacy was the currency. He is the only one who has ever requested intimacy itself as a service. He never stopped asking for it, he just provided a large gift then asked for more intimacy for free from now on, in exchange. That’s why it simply cannot be compared to the others.

He’s the only one who was buying his affection and that has left him feeling very violated and very confused.
