I usually don't post Feelings about properties I like, but I feel like I'm the only one who thought Blitzø was treated unfairly in Stolas' confession towards him. While Stolas rightfully understands that his arrangement with Blitzø was wrong, and made a good effort to make up for it, his decision to attach all of that to a love confession, and him getting upset when Blitzø calls him out on both that AND his proven disregard for many people beneath him in class status is. While understandable, pretty fucked up.
Not that I think the show itself is unaware of this, I just see far more people empathize with Stolas over Blitzø, and it's so weird for me given I walked away feeling the complete opposite about it. I do feel for Stolas, and recognize Blitzø was perhaps a bit too cruel in his assessment of the situation, but like. As brutal as it is to say, he really wasn't that far off the mark. In a way Stolas' reaction indicates how much more he needs to grow and reflect on how he's been treating Blitzø.
I mean, they both need to do some serious soul-searching on their relationship, but whereas Blitzø needs to learn how to accept love from other people, Stolas needs to learn how to give it, and what love actually is--and it's not a gift and a confession you spring on someone after months of essentially using them for meaningless sex and intimacy (which is exactly what he did, no matter what feelings he may have had for Blitzø).
#helluva boss#stolitz#stolas#blitzø#blitz#i'm sure there are gonna be some people who disagree with my assessment of the relationship at the end#but even stolas acknowledges this is true#even after the first time he had sex with blitzø he was far more excited to rub it in his wife's face that he had an affair#he was excited to be DESIRED by blitzø#and his attraction toward blitzø up until the end of season 1 was always very shallow#people will be like 'oh but what about when he was a kid'#dude liked him for a single day after he was told he would be in an arranged marriage for the rest of his life#he even acknowledges after seeing him again when they're older that he barely even remembers his name#idk people just seem to be way too critical of blitzø while stolas is being treated as a poor sad guy who deserves an apology#i just feel like we're watching two different shows
