Blind Reaction: Helluva Boss Season 2 Episode 8 "The Full Moon" 

Right. I've seen so many people being critical of Stolas for not being more patient or reiterating that things were serious, when the real issue was that Blitz is refusing to listen.

@@Gaymerluv Blitz refusing to listen is kinda a natural reaction when spending years in a transactional relationship. It's like at work where your boss calls the employees a family but obviously doesn't really mean it. Imagine spending years at a job where that's the case, then your boss starts suddenly talking seriously about you all being a family. You'd obviously roll your eyes and just think they're doing the whole cheesy crap.

​​@@TheStormyClouds The only thing different here was that blitz-stolas never truly HAD a boss-employee relationship. That's why their relationship is unhealthy and complicated right now. Because they BOTH blurred the boundaries of their transactional benefactor and benefactee thing they have. Stolas trying to get to know him outside of sex should've been AT LEAST enough of a hint, even if it's obviously not complete clarity that he cares for blitz. Its blitz's OWN denial that had him put on the spot and in complete shock when stolas verbalised his feelings

@@SS-ui7by The times Stolas tried to get to know him outside of it were rare and often stained by other harsh feelings. Like when he offered to talk and watch a movie, Blitzo instantly shrugged it off understandably because Stolas was openly ashamed of their relationship, then he was shoved into the dirt by two very close past relationships. Blitz and Stolas very much had a boss employee relationship due to Stolas lording the book over his head previously. He had literally all the power in the relationship and was outright told their deal for the book. You can't go through years of transactional things then suddenly expect someone to know it's real the 1% of the time it is. You have to tell them, make it very clear it's real, and then give them time to process it.

Yeah, her human form is smaller than her natural form.

meh

And that delivery! 😩

I chuckled a little 🤭

I think “so little of me” would’ve worked better than low of

Oh wait you're right! Missing a single dose can fuck you up emotionally and psychologically.

@@joeyaderman5284 nice xD

Love that timeline. Especially after the long gap between episodes we had, which made plenty of sense given Vivien's other show had a whole season come out in that gap, but nonetheless, cool that S2 will wrap up by the end of the year.

​@@TheFlamingSharkI don't know if it's just me, but those tentacles that killed those children seem a bit SUS to me, what if it was Leviathan himself from Envy Ring.!? --------- Blitz wants to love someone, but he doesn't know how. For example, Verosika loved him, but Blitzo broke her heart. [He has a tattoo of the name Blitzo crossed out on his arm.] Plus, being younger, he has some kind of love interest in Fizz. #S02 E06 Flashback Circus Fizzy has a birthday

@@TheFlamingShark Yes, it's very nice to have a pretty regular schedule, and to actually know more or less when an episode is going to drop. It gives something to look forward to :)

at least stolas tries to make it work

​@@Noor-sl5epStolas tries to control everything. He didn't wait. He talks, but he doesn't listen. After making every public interaction sexual, of course, the person you're confessing to would need a minute to process. On top of that, Blitz was really on an emotional roller-coaster the whole time. Stolas and Blitz really don't know each other. Their knowledge is purely sexual.

I agree. And it was established in season 1 episode 6 that blitz is, at least at the moment, incapable of fathoming proper intimacy, despite craving it

I've been saying this for years about how this isn't a real relationship and how unhealthy and unfair it is

@@Hickory958 yeah i get it but commmmmon man like after that beautiful shit stolas did and you're reaction is 'you're patronizing me' i understand that Blitz has problems but don't blame it ob stolas !!

I mean it also starts off with blitz tricking then fully commiting to it to steal the book in the first place like it's odd cause while stolas in the bigining didn't covey his feeling the best at all blitz also reinforces it so it becomes a toxic cycle then the fact in blitz's bit of the song he even says stolas has been bring up question and trying to talk about it multiple times and he actibely chooses to not think about it. I mean blitz used him to steal the book gave him sex out of pity then they go through this whole thing in the beginging due to bad communication but also due to blitz's major insecurities since I'm a be real yes the rich of hell suck tho the main person who saw him as expendable was his dad who "sold him" for a condom besides this we get no evidence of the rich f*cking with him to warent this generalised hatred of them especially since in hell it'd make more sense for it to be a species thing even tho the show just can't consistantly show fixxed class systems then you have the fact Fizzoroli , blitz, crimson hell even wachford are shown to be successful well crimsons was since we're told he's running out of money even tho we never really see much of an effect he has enough to employ tons of sharks , striker who has been hired by aristcrats so blitz lines come off way more self hating than taking from any actual experience it's like how he got pissed at mammon for treating fizz how blitz treats moxie everyday it's lacks self awareness but like with that episode I don't think they'l adress it

True.. "Once a month on the full moon, you return the book to me. Followed by a night of ✨passionate fornication✨~! And you get to keep it all the rest of the time."

This is a actually something that I've just realized. So... Why are the cherubs kinda assholes? The reason evil And sin exist is because Eve ate the apple And that spread to her kids. But pure angelic beings Like the cherubs shouldn't be so assholish right? And even if we are going by the "The apple only allowed humans to only perceive And know evil" route then the cherubs still shouldn't be such bad people. We atleast 2 of them that is.

​@@matijasostojic4288 by that logic every demon character needs to be evil.

He did, it's on his helluva boss playlist

@@mothlee Yup you're right, I just didn't scroll far enough back in the videos page, I didn't realize it's been FIVE MONTHS since it released. I was under the impression he hadn't seen it because I thought he'd know this episode would be about Stolas, but it makes sense that he just forgor. And apparently I didn't even watch his reaction to the music video, so thanks for letting me know!

They both in the wrong in my opinion

Not everything. The deal Stolas set up between the two of them has been acknowledged to be wrong, and it's become clear that Stolas now understands this, considering that he has not asked Blitzo to abide by the terms of agree to for a couple of months at this point. Stolas gave Blitzo the Asmodean Crystal completely free of charge, with no strings attached. He didn't have to do that. But because Blitzo is dangerously inside his own head, he still thinks there is some angle being played due his self loathing.

Nah, they’re both in the wrong. Both of them have _very_ understandable and valid reasons for why they behaved in the way they did, but that doesn’t mean their actions/words were _right._ Ultimately, this entire disaster was caused by _both_ of them failing to communicate properly. Keep in mind, we’re shown at the start of the episode that Stolas was out of his antidepressants, meaning he was even _more_ emotionally fragile/unstable than he normally is (I’ve been there, it’s a TERRIBLE experience). And he was already anxious as hell about the situation to begin with. We’re also flat out _told_ that Stolas does NOT have good self esteem _(“I’ll believe _*_him_*_ and not _*_the voice that says I’m not enough”)_* just like Blitzø. At the end of the day, the biggest ways they both contributed to this mess can be boiled down to this: - Blitzø contributed by making Stolas think he was only ever with him for the book, and then by getting defensive and lashing out at Stolas. - Stolas contributed by taking Blitzo’s first response at face value, and not giving him time to process this or explain himself after he’d lashed out.

Everything he said to Stolas was wrong Blitz is 100% having a victim complex which has nothing to do with Stolas. Blitz could've just said "I need time to think" but instead he had to throw and temper tantrum, blaming Stolas for stuff he has never done, belittling Stolas because Stolas is rich and Blitz is angry because he can not pretend to be Stolas's victim anymore but Blitz deep down still always enjoyed being with Stolas So it is 100% his fault
