I love a lot of your insights, but I think you missed the mark on a couple of things about Stolas. What he wanted with the relationship didn't change, he just realized that the relationship he imagined (a playful but genuine connection where the book was incidental and only shaped the scheduling of when they can both afford to meet up since he didn't know how busy Blitz's business would be) isn't what he really had with Blitz. Dude's a fan of soap operas and reads A LOT. He thought their dynamic was cute and not at all demeaning even as he used pet names in public that Blitz objected to. The other thing I think you missed is that while he doesn't look down on Blitz...he is pretty condescending towards other imps. He might not recognize it, but he is. Especially if you pay close attention to his imp butler. So saying that he doesn't look down on others due to status...sure, he might not MEAN to...but he does. Just as surely as Millie repeatedly reducing Loona--her boss's adoptive DAUGHTER--to "the hellhound".
i dont think charlie was in danger with valentino. simply because she is the dauther of luciifer they cant force her no mather wath but he was afraid of valentino reaction to charlie. if charlie bebome too confrontasional valentino can do ANITHING to ageldust just make an example out of him.
That Georgia can use the characters' expressions and body language to discuss what they're thinking and feeling is a testament to the quality of Vivienne Medrano's animation. This is some top notch stuff.
The end of the episode and this video combined made me realise how much im like blitz. So much so that i can completely relate to his reaction. This video really helped me see what not to do when emotions are shoved at you and hopefully they can make it up to eachother.
13:22 The important thing to note here, though, is that Bee _shared_ her concerned look with Vortex. It’s not just her brooding in a corner by herself, or something like that, she’s clearly communicating with Vortex, saying “Okay, that was possibly concerning behavior, did you pick up on that too?” and Vortex’s answering look confirmed that it wasn’t only Bee who was concerned for Blitzø’s mental health. It had nothing to do with Blitzø taking the spotlight for a moment. Bee was able to drop the mask and show her concern privately _because_ everyone else except Vortex was distracted. 13:47 & 15:24 Yes, the party, overall, is still doing fine. That’s not what Bee and Vortex are concerned about. They’re concerned because Blitzø is obviously in a bad place, mentally (directly after the disaster at Ozzie’s) and that’s he’s drinking and overindulging in an unhealthy and self-destructive way. 14:07 Bee is all about overindulgence in a _fun_ way, in a way that helps people relax and unwind and let loose, but she can tell the difference when it veers into genuinely harmful territory, and that’s when she gets concerned. In the same way that Asmodeus is a bit proponent of consent, Bee definitely seems to be a proponent of not overindulging in a way that would be mentally detrimental. 14:44 Yes, she provided the alcohol for Blitzø, and challenged him to the drinking game, because it was a party and she thought everyone was having fun. When she realized after the drinking game that Blitzø probably wasn’t in a great mental state, that’s when his drinking to excess became concerning. I do agree with many of your other takes here, like Bee speaking without any sense of social anxiety, and not realizing that some of her comments could come across as mini digs to someone like Loona. She definitely has flaws, I’m not denying that. However, with what we were presented in the episode, none of Bee’s actions ever came off as insincere, insecure, or particularly controlling, to me. She seems like a genuinely positive person with a lot of confidence and charisma, who likes to have fun but who also wants to make sure everyone else is happy too.
So one thing I noticed with Stolas from "Look My Way" he actually showed aomething interesting. He admits that he doesn't care that Blitzø is of a "lower station". Stolas most likely doesn't see all Imps the same way as he sees Blitzø. To Stolas, Blitzø isn't like other Imps. He opened Stolas's eyes that his fate isn't written in stone, he gave him a choice to be in a loveless marriage or to be with someone who he deemed his only true friend. Blitzø lashing out saying that Stolas only sees him and all the other Imps as play things spoke major volume because after everything Stolas has been trying to do for Blitzø, he still only thinks he seems him as a toy. Stolas has gone out of his way to show Blitzø he cares about him but Blitzø refuses to believe he is anywhere near the same status and nature as Stolas. That he isn't worthy of being treated kindly by an aristocrat because he himself is of the lower class. It's a very more drastic version of Fizz and Ozzy. Fizz believes he isn't worthy of being with Ausmodius because he's a broken and mangled Imp who was goven everything by Mammon. Ausmodius adimted that Fizz is and always will be way more than just that. He sees Fizz as the best person to ever come into his life and wouldn't change it for the world. He truly loves Fizz. Stolas and Blitzø never had that heart to heart because they always avoided the more serious topics due to their anxious natures. So when it finally came time to talking about it, ine was fully ready to lay it out while the other was blindsided anf didn't know what to think. Stolas presented Blitzø with how he felt and admittedly wanted an answer right away. Possibly if Blitzø said "Can I process this" it could have gone better but that's not the Imp we all know. He doesn't process, he reacts and THEN processes what happened.
Honestly, the way that conversation was handled could have been done so much better. You have Blitz getting all manner of emotional whiplash in the last few moments that he's not even able to comprehend what's going on until the last few moments, him begging to be given the chance to do better also hurts to hear. Do i hope that apology tour gives them the right direction? Yes, but boy, that mountain of issues juat grows to Everest levels at this point.
Personally, I agree that Bee is quite self-centered but her problem with Blitz wasn't so much being upset by the switch of attention to him but more so the potential that if he keeps it up he'll ruin her party by either going too crazy, doing wild shenanigans or mood swing back into depression killing the mood and as a result everyone will judge her for allowing him to stay since she is the host
I am learning to drive a car and it is so difficult for me, I started 6 months ago and I still haven't take an exam cause I feel I am not ready. I received a lot of critics from my teachers and all my friends are surprised that it takes so long time for me, and it feels like tension as well. After watching your video I realized that the only thing I can do (and wanna do) is just to keep trying.❤
When he says that hes helping the hotel because he's bored/wants to see people try hard at something and fail, I...dont believe him. I feel he is saying what he thinks other people could expect him to say. Then a bit later, you mention that he knows peoples triggers which would fit the "watching people fail" comment when the hotel does mean a lot to Charlie and Vaggie. There's evidence that he is helping for ulterior motives.
im not even kidding i’ve never heard gabriella’s voice lines before when miguel is running w her in his arms, I JUST STARTED BAWLING MY EYES OUT. ITS SO HEARTBREAKING😭
Even better than trust falls...surprise trust falls. Just walk up to your friends, yell "Surprise trust fall." then just turn around and trust them to catch you. It hilarious
I saw your videos backwards. Saw Beelz' first and then this one. I liked both. It feels like you are able to connect to the perspectives of the characters in topic with the costumes that you wear.
that’s so interesting how both of them need time to process but at different times Blitz needs time right after the question while Stolas needs time right after what he thought was blitz’s answer. The only difference is that Stolas is powerful and can make blitz go out of his house when blitz can’t force Stolas to stay with any magical power. That is why the end is so unfair, and that is why people are attributing the consequences of the outcome to Stolas.
Bee is my fav character from that series :") Cool deisgn and I like her personality and vibes overall. Even if she is very excesive extrovert and overwhelming socially, I like her X) And that I am an introvert person XD I would love to see her more ♥ Also cutie cosplay as always, I love your Bee ears hehe >u<
I really like this psychological deep dive :D. I really enjoyed all the other ones I have seen so far from Hazbin and Helluva. however, I think this one is missing a key detail that could drastically paint Bee's more iffy actions in a very different light. Bee is the embodiment of gluttony. shes basically a demigod, so when she is making those comments about getting high off the energy of the party, calling it tasty, and later again saying she can taste the energy people are giving off, I think that its more than likely she is being very literal with those comments. couple that with the fact this episode happens THE SAME NIGHT that Blitzo got absolutely dragged at Ozzie's, her comment about how the energy he's giving off is "not ok" would be hitting the nail on the head. so in that light her talking to Loona is less "he's ruining my party" and more "that guy is a glass ball of emotion, can you make sure he's ok?" it also explains why Vortex is being so awkward when trying to tell Loona about it because Blitzo's not causing an actual problem, Vortex is trying to convey what Bee likely explained to him off-screen. and her face change as he got dragged off could also be when he started giving off energy she could "taste" because it was only then he was REALY indulging all that being said I think ultimately the video is correct She is a high-ego girl boss was said, but with these details taken into account I think its fair to say most of her manipulative behavior might just be "the way we act man~" kind of mentality rather than something insidious
Given that she doesn't seem to be private about her relationship with Vortex, Bee likely doesn't care about the hierarchy. She sees the hellhounds as her friends and party guests. Not as servants or the bottom of Hell's society. She's definitely proof that Striker is wrong about all royals being the same
One thing i liked about the episode (after the third attempt to get through it because of my own experience in a 3 year abusive relationship) was how Husk, rather than trying to uplift him or using ruthless positivity he meets Angel where he is and shows that he's going to be there and has been through similar experiences. From my experience when you're in that mindset the last thing you're going to listen to is "the sun'll come out tomorrow" but hearing someone say "im here, I'm not going anywhere, and I'm gonna go at your pace" means the world, even if we can't express it
