Octavia Butler on why she writes

Karma's a bitch...

I find it so fascinating that Blitz's misdeeds is something that is brought up throughout most of Seasons 1 and 2, and the result of those misdeeds, he pays for them dearly in the course of two seasons...

The show has no problem in telling you that Blitz is an asshole with immense self-loathing issues and more.

What's fascinating about Sinsmas is the fact that it takes everything wrong Stolas has ever done in the course of the series, and brings it all up in his face...

Hey remember how you unknowingly made Blitz feel like a lesser in the course of your transactional relationship?

Yeah, imps are now openly hating and ridiculing you whenever you go out and about.

Hey, remember how you had very justified reasons for cheating on your wife because she's a bitch?

We're going to have this Karen remind you of that to your face. You know, just to really rub it in.

Hey, remember how Blitz called you a "rich pompous asshole"?

Yeah, he was a real dick for saying that, but he did technically have a point. Anyway, you're poor now.

Hey, remember how you used Blitz in the course of your transactional relationship as some sort of way to live out your fantasies?

We need you to say it loud and clear, you know. Remember, you did give up everything for that fantasy of yours.

Hey, remember how you've been doing a really shitty job at communicating with your child, so much so you've been unknowingly hurting her this entire time?

Yeah, she's pissed at you and has basically disowned you.

On the bright side...

Hey, remember how you've been desperately pining for the love and affections of an emotionally constipated lizard?

Congratulations, you now have his undying love and devotion, and are now part of his found family.

The prescient wisdom of Octavia Butler. I was happy to learn that her final resting place in Altadena was not destroyed by the Eaton Fire.

"All too often in the past, science fiction writers made things easy for themselves by portraying a white, middle-class, male-dominated universe, even attributing white, middle-class, male values to their 'alien' races. I'm not comfortable writing about such a universe, behaving as though it represented the one true way." -Octavia Butler
