The second part of this Post of Part 1

I don't know what to say about this other than, sorry if you wanted a happy image.

[blitzsicedcoffee]

How many times do you think Blitz had to use his body to get what he needed?

Not what he wanted. Not pleasure. What he needed to get where he is.

Business license. Office lease. Apartment in Pride. Even his fuckin van.

All things that Imps are less likely to own/have because they are lower on the hierarchy. All things that even Millie was in disbelief and said she "Didn't deserve".

"I have used too much of my time, energy, and holes".

We think this obviously refers to Stolas and the arrangement. But technically... he says this before their "Murder Family" mission. Before the arrangement is even set up. They only fucked once and he was going to take the book anyway.

So that begs the question. Who else has he had to fuck JUST to get what he NEEDS?

[tealvenetianmask]

Does Blitz blame himself for Cash's abuse?

Stick with me, and I'm truly sorry.

All of the people except Cash featured in the memories Rolando shows Blitz are people who Blitz has cared deeply for and felt like he hurt, failed to get close to, or let down.

Let's look at them (again, yes)

Tilla

Fizz

Verosika

Loona

M&M

Barbie

A whole lot of Stolas

So. What. The. Actual. Fuck. Is Cash Fucking Buckzo. Doing in this line-up?

Well. Hurting Blitz, horribly. My first meta on this scene didn't really capture this, but as many have pointed out, this is Cash grabbing Blitz's freshly burned wrist after the fire and smacking the ever living shit out the burned side of his face. Presumably blaming him for the fire and everything (and everyone) lost from it. And then Cash telling Blitz in the hospital that Fizz doesn't want to see him.

It's emphasized too. Right after we see the memory of Cash hitting Blitz, we see Blitz physically flinch while watching it.

So if this is just a compilation of horrible memories, maybe that's all there is to it.

But if it's a grouping of the people Blitz cares for, well . . . it makes sense for it to be that, doesn't it? Blitz has a lot of love in him, and yet he's scared of intimacy. His trauma is ABOUT hurting people, losing people, driving people away, craving closeness that he can't have . . .

Being an abuse victim is complicated. Being a family scapegoat is complicated too. A lot of abusers try to make the victim think that they're ACTUALLY the cause of their pain and everyone else's, and we already know that Cash did this to Blitz (literally in this same set of memories in the hospital).

But we also saw it in The Circus when Blitz was much younger, and saw how much this tactic got to Blitz.

Cash guilts his son into going into a dangerous situation for him. If Blitz doesn't do this, their lack of resources, the possible suffering of his parents . . . it will all be Blitz's fault.

And Blitz cares deeply (he always has!), so he does it.

Now one might argue that Blitz says "of course I want to help Mama" here and leaves Cash out of his reply, so he doesn't love his father. But reality is often more complicated than that. He's upset here that Cash is forcing this on him. Cash hurts him. His mother (seemingly) offers much more love. That doesn't mean that Blitz doesn't ALSO feel some care and responsibility for his father's wellbeing.

I think that Blitz believes (or at least a significant part of him believes) that he destroyed Cash's life too with the fire, and that he deserved that beating and being turned away from the hospital and possibly many of the beatings and beratings that Cash delivered in the past. I think that in the moment when Cash grabbed him, he felt that he fully deserved the agony he felt when Cash held his wrist.

I think a part of him loved his father growing up and still loves him-- that there were moments between the incidents of cruelty where they had fun together as a family, and where looked up to his dad and wanted desperately to win his approval.

I think that Blitz has a lot of anger toward Cash too, and that a part of him always knew that Cash was wrong to hurt him. He had a whole lot of resilience and defiance in him even as a young kid.

I think that he felt guilty for all of the times he felt angry at his father. I think he might still.

I'm off to cry and then grab my pitchfork and storm wherever Cash is living nowadays. Who's with me?

[blitzwhore]

I was lying on the floor thinking about this moment (as usual):

And I suddenly remembered THIS MOMENT:

And now I think I need to lie down harder, holy shit.

BLITZ IS SCARED OF LOSING STOLAS. HE IS SO SO SO SCARED OF LOSING STOLAS.

"Am I not, like, fucking you good enough? Because I can—I can always do better" HE JUST REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE STOLAS

"You don't have to stay here with me" *Looks at Stolas with the most vulnerable and terrified expression in the world*

HE CANNOT BEAR TO LOSE STOLAS. HE WANTS STOLAS TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NEXT TO HIM WHEN HE DIES. HELLO? IS THIS THING ON, CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!!!??? BLITZ WANTS TO SHARE HIS LIFE WITH STOLAS, HE WANTS STOLAS BY HIS DEATHBED!!!!!!!! AND NOW HE FEELS LIKE HE HAS LOST HIM!!!!!

*passes out*

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4

[carto0ncritter]

The latest episode of HB has these issues that I find important to talk about:

Millie claiming that she's Blitzø's best friend. We've never even seen how they'd interact before. Like, ever. Also, wasn't Fizz supposed to be Blitzø's bff? They made up, right? Or maybe their relationship is still too strained to call them best pals again, which yeah, I get it. Heck, maybe the bond they once had will never be the same. But either way, Blitzø and Millie were never even friends

The fact Blitzø wanted to fuck both Millie and Moxxie throughout the series was treated like it's no big deal. A boss wanting to have sex with his employees really just grinds my gears. it's disgusting, especially if those employees are married. Blitzø was also an overall stalker who invaded their privacy. This show, along with HH, doesn't know if it wants to treat serious stuff like it's serious or as a joke. It's never consistent

Blitzø's trauma is mentioned for the 1609458th time. Is that really all there is to him at this point? How about you finally give your "main character" some development, Viv? Oh right, it's all about Stolas now, I forgot. Let's demonize and mentally and emotionally torture the victim of Stolas' abuse instead. Also, screw the development of the other characters, who needs 'em anyway

Millie's role in this episode is once again tied to a man in her life. It's always been her husband, and now it's Blitzø. He gave her everything, that was what this episode tried to tell us. Even if an episode is "about Millie" there always has to be a male character involved in some way. Even though I'm a man, I hate how women are portrayed in HH & HB. Y'all deserve better

I didn't enjoy Millie's interaction with Loona. Because Loona is a bitch as usual

A ridiculous number of swears and sex jokes. Nothing new to see here. Constant swearing is just how the characters talk at this point

Blitzø missing Stolas is portrayed as him still having genuine feelings for him and feeling guilty for "hurting his fee fees" and not as an abuse victim being unable to let go of his abuser

Stolas being mentioned/appearing in Blitzø's mind, even if he wasn't physically in the episode

STOLAS

[fizzierolli]

"Mama... I was having the worst dream."

[lifea16]

Moxxie: I can't tell whether Stolas joining IMP was a good thing or not, Because on the one hand, I have much less paperwork to do, and Blitz seems much happier and more stable. On the other hand- Blitz *through the office door*: Fuck yes Stols, there, there! Moxxie: That

[drama-glob]

I just love that one of the many benefits Millie got by joining IMP is it allowed her to be more than just the merciless, tough assassin that we see in the flashback. With the societal expectations to be little more than muscle for whoever was higher up than her (or else be a farmer as stated by her), it leaves little choice or chance to be vulnerable, silly or sweet with anyone if she (or anyone for that matter); it's been indicated too that her parents basically seemed to pressure her all her life and expect Millie to be the best at fighting and killing without valuing any other gifts she had, so not even her parents expected much beyond that for her. :/

With IMP though, she got to have more fun with her job and the demons she's with as well as let her be openly affectionate with Moxxie and make a best friend in Blitz, which then let's her be able to help him now with his current breakdown. It's just sweet seeing Millie along with the others be so much happier thanks to Blitz entering their lives.<3<3<3

People who claim Stolas was wrong, because he should've just "sat there and take Blitz's yelling" scare me.

Like, genuine question, but have these people never been physically abused (by someone with anger issues) before? Because shutting down and wanting to leave the situation when someone is yelling (at you), is literally one of the most common trauma responses. Trust me, I know from experience.

It doesn't matter if the person yelling technically has never physically hurt you before (outside of bedroom roleplaying at least) and isn't the cause of your trauma, because your trauma response doesn't know that, all it knows is that the person screaming is very unpredictable and could lash out any moment if they wanted to. Especially since Stolas didn't see the yelling coming either, he had no idea what else to expect from Blitz anymore.

I've talked before how I don't blame Blitz for getting angry, because that's his trauma response, but some people seriously need to learn to give that same level understanding to Stolas' trauma response and not make light of domestic abuse victims.

[blitzsicedcoffee]

Subjects I do not entertain on my blog:

-Whether Stolas is a rapist (he is not. I will not elaborate. I have done so on multiple posts)

-Whether Blitz doesn't care about anyone around him (obviously not true)

-Whether Stella is an abuser (She is. I will not elaborate. It's obvious)

-Whether Stolas is a bad dad (He's not.)

-Whether Loona is a hypocrite (She's not.)

-Whether I think Stolas should move on from Blitz (He shouldn't. He just needs friends)

Those are my stances, now stay out of my asks with these because I will not entertain these. Block me if you want, Idgaf.

What Ghost Fuckers shows us about Blitzø, his face scar and eye trauma, and his deepest fears.

As we already know, Blitzø's scars come from the same accident that maimed Fizz, killed Blitzø's mom, and burned Blitzø's life as he knew it to ashes. We also know Blitzø blames himself for the accident, because he inadvertently caused it by pushing aside the imp carrying Fizz's cake.

In Oops, we also saw Blitzø's eye got badly hurt during the accident.

And, even though it seems to have fully recovered given his precision with a gun, it is still permanently and completely surrounded by scar tissue.

It's his most visible scar—the only one he cannot cover up with his daily attire. It represents his vulnerability and broadcasts it to the world. So much so that, when he's feeling at his most helpless, he shields it from view as a means to protect himself.

Eyes are typically represented in fiction as windows to the soul, so one's eye being hurt or scarred can be a representation of how broken, hurt, or tainted they are/feel inside; an unclosable window that displays their deepest trauma for everyone to see.

We also know Blitzø privately crosses out his face in pictures with his loved ones, and we've seen across multiple episodes that the side of his face that is highlighted in each scene can relate to his emotional state. His scarred side is in full view in moments when he's losing control of his emotional state and unable to hide his vulnerability, whereas his unscarred side will be in view when he's trying to avoid/hide his insecurities and pretend everything is fine. On key moments when he's being honest with himself and others about his emotions, his front side will show, a representation of him acknowledging both sides and approaching a balance between them.

In Ghost Fuckers, eye trauma is also used to represent Blitzø's emotional turmoil, except the eye trauma is no longer his own—it is very blatantly extended to others.

In his Millie hallucination, every single Millie except for the one with the broken arm has got something wrong with one or both of her eyes. Each of them is the realization of Millie being hurt because Blitzø put her in harm's way: the bottle shards from Murder Family, the fire in Loo Loo Land, the giant fish from Spring Broken, the angelic arrow in CHERUBS, and the final Millie, which seems to match the hotel bellboy, implying Rolando has hurt or affected her in some way.

(Notice how Blitzø's scarred side is showing again in this moment).

All these Millies have been ruined in the same way Blitzø is ruined, and they've been ruined because of Blitzø. Because he needed her. Because he put her in harm's way. Because he cared about her enough to selfishly keep her in his life.

All of these Millies have ended up "like him": permanently marked as broken.

This is what his love does, in his eyes (pun not intended). It damages people beyond repair. It is a contagious and unstoppable force that will inevitably destroy anything and anyone it—he—touches.

Just like it did his mother.

She, too, loses an eye in his hallucination. An eye that falls right in his hand as she burns away, marking him as responsible for her corruption; an eye that looks at him even as she vanishes from his grasp. Almost as if she knows. Knows what he did, knows he's to blame for her death. Knows that if it weren't for him, and his feelings, and his love, she'd still be whole. She'd still be alive.

This masterful visual representation of Blitzø's guilt and fear is perfectly summarised in Millie's line, “when was the last time you loved someone without hurting them?” Blitzø truly believes anyone who stays close to him will end up just like him: damaged, and traumatised, and broken, or worse—dead.

And all because he was selfish enough to let himself be loved and cared for by them.

Sorry I’m still not over that scene of Blitz seeing Stolas’ human form for the first time so I’m going to break it down frame by frame

Initial reaction. He’s a little confused and shocked, he didn’t seem to know that Stolas had a human disguise. His eyebrow is quirked and his mouth is wide open in shock, flabbergasted, what he’s seeing hasn’t really set in emotionally yet.

His expression starts to soften, he starts to flush (I think those two little black lines are a blush?) as he really takes it all in (that’s what she said) the “totally just sexual and nothing more” feelings are just starting to pop up.

This is “I’m fucked” level 2. His pupils start to dilate as those pesky confusing complicated feelings have really set in and are visibly expressed as those impenetrable emotional walls haven’t come up yet. He really likes Stolas whether he’s a human or a bird. This is the purest most genuine most emotional vulnerable face of this set.

And this is where the fear and anxiety come in and those walls start to come back up. His pupils contract in stress as his established fear of intimacy hits him in full force. He’s starting to really think about what he’s feeling and he doesn’t like it. This whole deal was supposed to be sexual and superficial, nothing more. In Blitz’ mind, Stolas is using him and he’s using Stolas right back. He thinks that high class demons don’t care about him and the other imps and just want to take what they want from them. These feelings of genuine affection make everything so much more complicated both for Blitz and his mental state as well as the deal between him and Stolas. He doesn’t want to think about it, it scares him, so he starts to push those feelings back down in the locked box where they belong. The walls are back up and at this point, Blitz’s mind is at DEFCON 3.
