#poor Blitz

[drama-glob]

I know it got mentioned that even while burning to death in front of Blitz, Tilla held no ill will for Blitz on her face, but the fact that Tilla is also shown hugging Blitz, wiping away his tears, patting his head for comfort, and even going "Shush shush" as a parent often does for their crying child further reveals how much of a safe, loving haven she was for Blitz and makes the moment cut so much deeper when it transitions to the fire taking her. ;_; ;_; ;_;

(Seriously though, just damn Rolando is so brutal and twisted AF to have that contrast of comfort and horror together O_O).

He Knew

"Don't think you know what you did,

saying you love me with a balled up fist..."

[theadhddimsenion]

you know ever since mastermind the blitzø antis seems to have had to rehash his previous “sins”.

At first it all was “he doesn’t care about anyone but himself”, “he adopted Loona so he could force her to love him!”, ”he yelled at my waifs/husbando and that makes him evil!!”, “he was mean to poor whittle moxxie boxxie!”, “he made Loona burn owls which she could easily not done!!”, “he stole from my succuwife!”, “he’s literally a rapist!!”, “he makes excuses!” Blah blah blah blah blah!! Yeessh!! But now they are constantly having to bring up his old sins and create straw men to make their nonsense work. Because when he put himself on that chopping block he proved that he cared more for his found family more than any of these people probably care for anyone in their life!!

Now I know that the internet isn’t the best place for a civil discussion this is especially true of Reddit but just yesterday I saw someone get 2000 upvotes for calling people hypocrites for supposedly “ignoring” blitz’s stalking of m&m in favor of emberlynns stalking of him! And contrary to what some people think I don’t believe that m&m need any kind of “karmic justice” on him in the slightest!! He saved their fucking lives this episode I think he’s got a lot more good karma than people give him credit for. Fortunately the Redditor in question was rightfully flames for their bad take which goes to show that no website is a monolith.

We all know that blitz’s greatest flaw is his self hatred but I would argue that self awareness is his greatest virtue. You can’t really blame yourself for everything and make it make sense in your head without knowing who and what you are on a very deep level. Contrary to what some people think he has never once tried to deflect blame from himself even in apology your he said “everyone is shitty” that obviously includes himself and no he’s not trying to deflect blame from himself he’s asking “why me specifically?” To which veroskia doesn’t answer but instead insults him and speaking of veroskia. It should be plainly obvious to everyone with an iota of media literacy that veroskia was not helping anyone with those parties of hers she was just prolonging their supposed suffering by dragging them into her bad coping mechanism and causing them to never move on just like her. If she doesn’t want to forgive than fine but at less than forget!! Blitz is always the first to take responsibility even for things that aren’t his fault this is made crystal clear in mastermind where he volunteered for the chopping block and took advantage of the fact that he big red bitch was never going to hear them out. Blitz’s greatest “crime��� is daring to be something more than a worthless little circus imp who’s value is determined by everyone but himself. And to me that makes him a working class and neurodivergent hero.

A demon forced to fight their inner demons......how unfortunately redundant......

About Helluva Boss: OOPS.

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

They say info-dumpings are bad... but this was a shock of pure drama and I loved it.

I used to not like Fizz at all, but thanks to this chapter not only he has my sympathy (the backstory) but my respect, since everyone who sees through Striker and can get under his skin does.

Sooooooooooo..... does this means Striker is not going to work for Crimson?

I hope so. I.M.P. can't exactly afford all their enemies to start an union.

YESSSS

jealousy moment

Vaggie's expression is so priceless and im here for it lol

Now where I have I seen this before...

[drama-glob]

Just damn to the look of horror on Blitz's face when Rolando gets Millie. O_O Even when Rolando has his leg, he still tries to reach for her and if we didn't just see the heart to heart talk before this scene, there would be no denying that we see Blitz cares about Millie and can't stand to see her (or really anyone he cares about) hurt. It's also just so sad how many times Blitz felt useless/weak in this episode, which further adds to part of Rolando's psychological attack of saying Blitz always needs help, to say nothing about his belief that he always hurts the ones he loves. ;_; ;_; ;_;

Side note: I think Rolando does looks really cool as he turns into black goo. :)

[theadhddimsenion]

we’ve done a lot of theories on how the internal plot lines of hell will develop but let’s not ignore the earth based plot lines and how they might tie into the greater story.

my guess is that Andy and Stella’s screw ups won’t stop at just making a scene at the harvest moon festival and ruining a crop but the coming invasion of hell by the dhorks is going to be pinned on them as vassago cleverly points out that such things would have never happened under stolas’s watch. Andy might try to pin the blame on stolas for alerting the humans to their existence by giving the imp the book but this time the “guilty until proven innocent” court system turns on him and he has no real proof that stolas’s actions are linked to the human invasion beyond his, Stella’s or strikers word which is far from enough or even trustworthy.

now the imp population is throughly pissed off! Because in the span of a few weeks to a month a pair of blue blooded pricks had not only tried to execute one of them for daring to do something other than serve them, (stolas’s had allegedly) manipulated and abused the one who was on the chopping block, Stella had caused a massive public scene with her usual bullshit, Andy had fucked up the years harvest causing a good shortage and had even led the humans right to them which had gotten several (relatively) innocent hellborn killed and now it’s almost impossible for the nobles to ignore the fact that this time the imps wouldn’t be put down as easily and now they had a leader and the angelic weapons needed to do some real damage!!

as I said in my last post this all leads to paimon trying to bribe his son into selling out blitz but failing miserably and being forced to remarry his Version of Stella.

now everything is in chaos! The ruling class of hell has few options left and those are ether destroy all of impkind which even if they can would mean the complete destruction of hells main source of labor, they can give up their power which will never happen, or there is one last option that none of them particularly like and that is giving into the lower classes demands and actually making good leadership decisions.

finally for the first time ever the ruling class of hell is forced to surrender and wave the 🏳️ and while they would rather die or see all of impkind dead before they give up their power entirely they at least are forced to give the imps (and hounds) the ability to climb up the ranks like any other demon in hell which prevents further civil war.

During this arc I can definitely see bee and Ozzie subtly sabotaging the war plan of the other sins due to them being more sympathetic to the so called “enemy” than the other sins.

Perhaps we could have moxxie taking control of his fathers mob after killing his rat shit of a dad to further bolster the ranks of revolution.

this could tie into the Octavia rescue episode as well as after hearing about blitz and his found family take on a get one over on none other than the king of the goetia himself than this could further radicalize the lower classes.

perhaps in a poetic way of justice satan sentences Stella and Andy to the same punishment stolas got but for much longer as a way of appeasing the downtrodden of hell. It’s not just ironic because they get the same thing stolas got but for the opposite reason stolas’s was punished, stolas was punished because the upper class wanted to pin the blame on someone and make the issue go away but now the two of the biggest symptoms of the classist system are being punished as a desperate means to appease the very lower classes they looked down on. In short stolas and blitz were made into scapegoats to deflect blame from the upper class and now Stella and Andy get the same treatment. What goes around comes around as they say.

perhaps the food shortage problem and Stella and Andy’s jackassery at the harvest moon festival could be a way to tie Millie’s family into the plot.

THEY’RE LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT EACH OTHER

Things they never knew before. God I love them so much.

[fizziepopangel]

Mini Fizziepop Take:

This side by side is sooooooo good!!! I love the parallels Vivzie shows us in her work, and I love when she has parallels that are the same but different like this. Like she has chains in both of these scenes, but the differences in positions and how they're bound by the chains reflects how much their relationship has changed throughout the series. In Blitz's bad trip, he's not a willing participant in what's happening despite having feelings for Stolas because of the contractual agreement they have that let's Blitz work using the book. Stolas reminding him of the full moon agreement is essentially pulling him back into the relationship each time and you can tell by his expression that he's uncomfortable with not being able to willingly set terms the way Stolas can because of the difference in their stations in life..... Now that in comparison to Blitz straining to get to Stolas in a desperate manner and suddenly being anchored away from him and Stolas suddenly being the one that's bound in a situation he doesn't want to be in!!!!!!!

We see the same sort of parallel between Angel and Husk in Hazbin Hotel with their chains portraying the control their overlord wields over them and how strong their deals are.

I just love how much attention to detail there is in these shows!

SPOILERS FOR MASTERMIND

So like. Are we gonna talk about the parallels of the golden chain around Blitz and the golden feathers present both in that scene, and in Truth Seekers?

LIKE COME ON YOU SEE IT RIGHT

[hyperfixed-owl]

You know it’s bad when this poor guy was so exhausted from losing his powers he forgot how to use proper grammar 🥺

This is the owl that LOVES words, gets excited by them, so it’s such a subtle but great detail into how he was feeling in that moment.

[cm-matz]

i am literally OBSESSED w/ the lil noises he’s making here
