How Helluva Boss Episode 7 BROKE Blitzø X Stolas 

Should I talk about Fizz X Ozzie or are they just more fucked up BLITZO?

In romantic movies, sitcoms, and animated films, there is always a late-in-the-story misunderstanding that occurs that the romantic pair must overcome before getting together. This is the most unique misunderstanding I've ever seen.

Another sad detail is that Verosica has tattooed Blitzo's named on her shoulder. Veronica must have had hundreds of boyfriends and girlfriends (and probably even more one-night partners), yet she still tattooed only Blitzo's name . This leads me to believe that Verosica (just like Blitzo) wanted a real relationship with a person that isn't just sex and lust and she probably thought she had found that with Blitzo, that he is the one for her and what did he do ? He stole from her and then acts like it's no big deal ! Honestly I can't blame her .

I love how Blitz’s voice actor does such a great job portraying the small little things people do when they are trying not to cry.

After the new episode, I still feel Stolas was never in the wrong. Yes, he cheated but he was never happy and was trapped in his loveless marriage. Stella is and clearly was abusive and a horrible person, and poor Octavia is stuck in the middle.

I think Blitz might secretly admire Moxie. Not in a eritoc having a crush way, but rather he likes how Moxie gives his love to Milly so freely and unconditionally. And specifically Moxie because the little dude is such an under dog. Like he gets beaten up and ridiculed all the time, but he's still such a sweet little guy.

Also love that the time we see them in the "element" House of Lust they get uncomfortable because this isn't only about lust for them

my own idea from that episode is that yes, Stolas is ashamed of Blitz, but hes much more ashamed of himself. When the spotlight was on Blitz, he couldve left and saved himself the embarrasment but he stayed. he hid his face when his wife and child were mentioned which makes me think that the reason those two have such difficulty in their relationship is because they have a deep, burning self hatred and feeling of immense guilt.

I think the only thing you missed talking about was the power dynamic problem. Stolas literally holds Blitz's livelihood in his hands with the book, and that alone can create massive barriers for any real emotional connection as it actively blocks any real connection from being anything other than Obligation/contractual

I love how during the song, asmodeus doesn't actually talk down to moxie, he's goading him and telling him to make his song more lustful/sexual instead of lovey, giving him his guitar and checking his mic beforehand.

In defense of Stolas, Blitz didn't give him many reasons to stand up for their relationship. Their first "date" was an excuse for Blitz to spy on his employees. Blitz ignored Stolas completely throughout the night. It sucks that Stolas is ashamed to be seen with Blitz around other nobles, but Blitz shouldn't expect anything different when he doesn't put any effort into their relationship.

"YOU make that VERY CLEAR, ALL THE TIME" again, insinuating that at one point or another Blitz WAS expecting more, but eventually settled

It would mean so SO much more If when they reconcile they HUG instead of kiss. I feel like it’s so much more meaningful and intimate in a way Blitzo isn’t used to with Stolaz

I seriously felt so bad for Blizo, he literally had his nightmare/acid trip come true.

Basically Blitz has porcupine dilemma. Wanting to be close to someone, but fears he would hurt them if they do.

“They didn’t full blown hate eachother until she caught him with another man in bed!” Wait till he sees S2 E1!

What gets me still is Blitz actually apologized after saying he wasn't up to anything after Ozzies. Blitz definitely cares, even after what happened and clarifying where they stand. It's a nice, probably important, detail about where Blitz's mind is.

If you look at the newspaper Blitzo is hiding behind while he's spying on Moxxie and Millie, there's a picture of an Exterminator there. And an Exterminator also showed up on one of the carnival games in the background of "Loo Loo Land" an episode that also placed focus on Blitzo's past. I'm willing to bet that Blitzo's mom was killed during an Extermination, probably while trying to protect her kids. Depending on the circumstances, Blitzo may believe his mom's death is his fault which kicked off his self-loathing.

I agree that Stella has every reason to hate Stolas for what he did. I even understand her wishing death upon him. But the fact she is actually trying to get him murdered without any concern of what impact would that have on her daughters life just shows how shitty person she is.

Another reason why Blitz stalks the M&M's, at least imho, is because he's scared of loneliness and NEEDS a distraction, if he's not doing that, he's just alone in his house, stuck with his own thoughts (as the end of the episode shows us) And I think that's something a lot of us can relate to, how sometimes in our lives, especially during lows, we can obsess over things just to have something we obsess over and distract us, not because that particular thing is meaningful to us in some special way

17:57 SAME, that "sorry" just shows how much he cares and how much he's hurt, GODAMMIT WHEN IS THE NEXT PART COMING OUTTTT

I think something else we shoulder consider when talking about how screwed up Stolitz is, is that it's very possible that Stolas' love language is physical affection. It's likely that to him, having sex is his way of connecting and showing his affection. It's why he can be confident when he or Blitz are being lustful because that's something he can navigate. But when its something else, like small talk in the club, he's out of his depth, because he doesn't know how express himself without even the smallest touch. To me, the defining moment of truth is when Stolas asks Blitz to come inside his house. Yes, he's trying to salvage this night, by offering to be there for his boyfriend to talk or just unwind, and then he asks with hope in his voice if Blitz and he can cuddle. Because to him, that's how he shows his affection.

Brandons voice acting is literally perfect. The moment in the car he has a slight cry in his voice

I’m honestly more curious about the fact that it seems like either stolas fired every imp in the building, or that Stella took them all, leaving him with absolutely NOTHING but the building that they once shared

The car scene is exactly what I needed it to be tbh. Blitz talked knowing the guy wanted to help. He didn't talked too angry cause he knew it would make him feel bad. He hold it in. He just wanted to run. It's one of the best reactions I've seen

I do not think Stolas has "lost" Octavia. "has Octavia this weekend" sounds like he's the one with custody. Doesn't mean he wouldn't feel like he lost her, all the hugs to her right now. och.

This is also the first episode where Moxxie isn't actually the victim of needless harassment or bullying. I saw someone else comment that Asmodeus wasn't making fun of his love, he just wanted Moxxie to talk about the sexual and lusty aspect of it. And that puts into context what I think Blitzo envies. He knows that Millie and Moxxie are more than just banging bodies, that above all else it is true love. And in this episode we see him mentally conclude that he and Stolas aren't that when in reality that have the capability to be so.

When I looked back at the episode, I realised that as once they enter Ozzie’s, Stolas calls Blitzo “Blitz” for the rest of the episode. Not only that but despite the fact that they went to a club in the lust ring, he called it “romantic”. I think this further proves just how much more Stolas wanted to be with Blitzo other than it being in an all physical relationship.

Oh my god, I didn’t even realize that Blitz shed a tear in 17:02 that just makes the car scene even more sad

The animation lends itself SO WELL to all this. Not an expression out of place. Easter eggs everywhere. Foreshadowing with the ultimate payoffs in both the writing and animations

"If Stolas has "Shut the fuck up" money, Asmodeus has "No, YOU shut the fuck up" money." Love that line.

What’s really interesting is when you hear them fighting in episode 2 when Stolas says that he “didn’t have time to go to a motel” Stella gets mad. She’s not mad that he cheated, she’s mad that he cheated with an *imp* . Also at the end Stolas says “octavia’s with her mother *this weekend* meaning they share custody.

Stella has been abusive towards Stolas even though he tried so hard to have a normal family for his Octavia… and Stella didn’t leave him, he begged her to go away

It could easily be solved with being honest. Blitzo was wrong for using Stolas to, Stolas was wrong for being embarrassed by Blitzo, they're both screwed up. But yeah, people who are hurt once can't stand to be hurt again, even if this might be the only chance they have.

So, speaking of "Work is where Blitz THRIVES" portion of the video; I've noticed, that every time Blitzo has his trademark outfit on, and while at work, his back is straight and his posture is immaculate. Which is a sgn that Blitzo is confident and comfortable in his own skin and surroundings. He very rarely ever slouches when he's in the office. But the minute he steps out? Or changes his clothes? Extremely slouched, horrible posture, and looks as small as possible, and only perks back up to his full height when Striker gave him a genuine compliment that what Blitzo was doing was genuinely impressive. This entire episode, Blitzo was horribly slouched, never once was his back straight, even though he looked amazing in his leather outfit. He ESPECIALLY looked tiny when Stolas took his hand to go into the club. Which is just a indication of how insecure this imp is. I can't help but keep track of his posture now, to try and spot when Blitzo's mental headspace is in the positive, or negative, in previous and hopefully upcoming episodes.

1:53 THANK YOU!! i've seen so many people romanticize their relationship without considering stolas did this to himself-- I'm not saying we shouldn't feel bad; I'm only talking about people who think he's innocent in all of this 10:23 THAT'S SUCH A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT BAHAHA

Okay. So OBVI Stoliz is gonna happen. But as much as this episode kicked us all in the collective front teeth, it was very much needed. Our two “trouble in paradise” people have finally reached the point of their activities being consequential to them in regards to each other. So! What now? Well, now they should talk. It’s what any person in an unsteady relationship should do. And this is where I think Blitzo is gonna struggle the most. As we saw before, he had past relationships with Verosika, Fizz and his family (mother and sis). And due to context clues, we can draw that he most likely hecced them over (with the potential exception being Fizz who might have betrayed Blitz) With a line of broken hearts, it’s gonna take a lot for Stolas to have Blitz open up to him and contrary to a lot of people’s beliefs, but Blitzo not being able to open up to Stolas isn’t really Stolas’s fault. After all, it was Blitz who bailed on Verosika when she was giving love to Blitz. We don’t know much about the family situation but we can assume SOME things with Fizz. It’s most likely Fizz betrayed Blitz in some way that made Blitz resent him. Yet again, this ain’t Stolas’s fault. Really the only thing he’s at fault for in regards to Blitz is using Blitz for his body and not showing signs of respect. Most of not all of the trust issues that Blitz has didn’t come from Stolas but from Blitzo’s past mistakes and from him being (maybe) betrayed. But as seen, Stolas didn’t do any favors for Blitz’s trust issues. Yes, he wasn’t the cause and he’s most likely gonna be part of the solution, but right now, he’s really not doing anything to help lessen the lack of trust in Blitz. And that took it’s toll in the end. Instead of respecting Blitzo and showing that he loves him more, he still kinda objectifies him. The only time he treated him as an equal is during ep 7 and it was a little too late for it. Or at least that’s what Blitz thinks. Which brings me to my last point. Stolas has a warped sense of love. He treats him like a play thing and then he asks himself “why doesn’t Blitzo love me?” He might think all of his actions shows affection towards Blitz bit that isn’t what Blitz sees and unless Stolas openly tries to get Blitz to realize that Stoles does wants him, it’s gonna stay like this. Now, weather Blitz chooses to see his improvements is singly on Blitz. One could argue that it would be Stolas’s fault for Blitz choosing to ignore Stolas’s efforts like in EP 7 because of the damage he has done to Blitz. This is very fair. However, I’d chalk it up to Blitz’s trust issues with being intimate. At the end of the day, Stolas can give him all of the love in the world, but it’s Blitzo that has to reconcile with himself and let Stolas in. TLDR: They are both at fault with how things are right now in their relationship (so people have to put a hold on just blaming Stolas) and they really need to talk things out.

Me: Is sad about the ship Vivziepop: releases merch of them sledding, holding hands, and watching the snow with hot cocoa Me: Hope restored

The other part that makes Stolas hiding his face so much more painful, is that we were shown 2 other characters doing what Stolas failed to do. Moxxie stood up to one of the 7 deadly sin demons for Millie, and Blitzo stood up to defend Moxxie knowing it would get Fizz's attention. Showing that contrast between their actions and Stolas's actions all in the same song goes a long way to emphasis the effects of that one moment of weakness from Stolas.

I think that everyone here has a part on this: Blitz only invited Stolas to Ozzie's place to see Mozzie and Millie; Stolas always calls Blitz a "plaything" and repetidly cheated on his wife; Stella don't think in Octavia, her daugther, who will suffer if her father dies.

This didn’t age well….especially the Stella part💀💀

I think that Stolas wasn't ashamed of being with Blitzø, but about the fact that he lost his family basically. He was ashamed that they put him under a spotlight about his probably bad decisions

when blitz drives stolas home, stolas sits down on the stairs and we get a wide shot of him sitting sadly there on his front steps which reminded me of blitz climbing up the stairs toward stolas during blitz’s trip in the last episode. is it symbolism? idk maybe. i think it may mean that even though blitz feels like he isn’t in control of their relationship maybe stolas doesn’t feel in control either.

I feel like Stolas and Blitz's relationship might improve because i firmly believe that there is a reason why Blitz always pushes people away and is afraid of actual love.

19:49 - "The note is a great visual, but like... texting?" I thought the same thing, but then someone pointed out to me that Loona was present when it became obvious that Blitz was going to stalk the M&Ms, and if she had sent him a text, he might have changed his plans and followed her around. She was smart to put a note on the door instead. Yeah, it's fanwank, but it's logical fanwank.

17:34 when Stolas said “or maybe… cuddle?” I actually died inside 😭

I want their recovery to be long and drawn out as a couple. I feel like too much has happened for them to just "get back together" in the next episode. I wanna see that gradual character growth that maybe culminates in the season TWO finale.

Stolas did cause a rift but what I feel like you missed is that he didn't do it by himself which is pretty important. Looking at his behavior you can see he's practically starved for love and intimacy, much like blitzy, but his wife obviously doesn't really give him any she kept him at a distance and was there only for what seems like...convenience? Their dead "relationship" practically pushed him to seek something else out which is likely why he started his little fling with blitz cuz it was exciting and made him feel something when he practically felt nothing besides adoration and love for his daughter

I really hope that Stolas/Blitzo are able to get together, and work on their issues.

A lot of people think that stolas hiding his face showed cowardice, and that reaching out to blitz was only an after-the-fact thing, but I believe he deserves a lot more credit. Yes, he hid when the pressure was on, but moments later, while still in the club, where there were surely still eyes on them (even after the ending of moxxie's song), he looked at the m&ms, realized his mistake, and tried to make amends. I think people have this fantastical idea that if they were in a situation where they were completely wrong, and super embarrassed, then they would be able to own up to it, and keep moving forward in confidence, but it's really really hard to do that. Stolas did crumble, but the effectiveness in coming back stronger, and awareness that he showed towards blitz was astounding. He really does love blitz the way that blitz wants to be loved, and I think that, if nothing else, stolas's arch will be completed by the end of season one, if not, blitz as well.

Can we just talk about how good stolas looked this episode? The puffy shirt, the space cape, hell, that grey stripe really gives him a daddy vibe

And now with the new episode that has come out we understand why stolas did what he did,

I actually relate to stolas being awkward on a date, especially if he hasn't been on one before. Because on my first date with my husband/first date ever, me and my husband were so awkward and trying to play video games together. It's funny now that we look back on it

"if Stolas has shut The F*CK up money, Osmodeus has NO U shut The F*CK up money" This is comedy gold [Edit] wait tf? I return two months later and i have a bunch of likes? Huh.. weird..

The way Blitz was animated in the car scene is one of my fav moments ( outside of pole dancing Asmodeus ) You can really feel how close he is to breaking , his face turning away when Stolas tried to talk to him through the window like " oh god " like hes so so close to breaking he cant take anymore and just want things to be done with. I absolutely loved this first part and am both excited and somewhat afraid for the next one !!

Hopefully the two end up together in a healthy relationship

i feel like we need an update for the morallity of stolas' cheating, stella abused him and always hated him, so i feel like he was fully justified in cheating on her, she deserved it

I think you are right that Stolas and Stella didn't hate each other, I mean she didn't hire a hitman until after he cheated, but it wasn't the healthiest relationship. We get hints of that from the song to Octavia and later in his talk with Octavia on the apple ride thing, but I think it's more telling how unhappy Octavia is, how she casually steps over a recently thrown and broken pot without blinking an eye, and most telling when Octavia asks, "Are you and mom done screaming for the day?" For the day, as if it's a regular occurrence. Anyway, sorry for rambling and being over informative. Probably just pulling a total Moxie with all my nerd stuff haha

i was so worried this video was gonna be a "THERES AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP AND - GOD FORBID! - CHARACTER CONFLICT! THE SHIP IS BAD!" take i've seen in youtube comment sections lmfao but this video is _perfect._ it summarizes so well how blitz and stolas are constantly fucking over eachother and themselves bcuz theyre stupid idiot babys who are too emotionally repressed to talk to eachother. i love it. this video is great.

14:35 I dont think they're being mocked, but instead praised because Asmodeus says that "that's the spirit of lust" and well... he is the "embodiment of lust" after all. just a theory tho.

This is probably the most anticipating character development that I’ve ever waited for.

I just want to point out, if we include the pilot, technically this started with Blitz seemingly, because we don't really know how that that part went down, seduced Stolas, and stole the book while Stolas was asleep. I mean, not saying he planned for it, but surely it must've occured to Blitz at, some point, that the horny, demon royalty bird would want and or need his book back. That he would have to see Stolas again, right?

Blitzø and Stolas, I know y’all are hurting and going through a lot and this date night didn’t help at all, but remember this: *Y’all did this to yourselves.*

As someone who has studied Christian theology, yes, Asmodeus is one of the seven deadly sins, or technically “the seven demon princes of hell” with each correspond to a sin

From my perspective, Stolas and Blitz are two sides of the same tragic and ironic coin. Stolas, if he is truly a fallen angel, must be thousands or millions of years old, but, despite his age, he is naive, Stolas, in his song, says that he "used to think that love would be fun", so he was likely a naive prince demon who believed that relationships were nothing but fun and excitement all the time, ignoring that relationships and romance also have their downsides, like fighting, heartbreak and discussions, as a result of being naive regarding how love and feeling truly work, Stolas suffered the terrible consequences of only seeing love as something that was just fun, without realizing love has its serious part as well, and the consequences are two ruined relationships with Stella and probably Ozzie(I know it is not confirmed, but I am pretty sure Ozzie and Stolas used to date), and his relationship with Blitz being on hold for now. And Blitz is the similar opposite, he is a man that has had serious relationships with Verosika and Fizz(I am pretty sure this two dated), but he also saw how love is complicated, so, instead of trying to fix himself, he "ran away", in unhealthy ways, and shoved away his loved ones until they resented him, Blitz is a cynical man that fails to understand that his cynicism and fear of ruining others that cause him to destroy his relationships are what are making him damage others' life when he has the potential to be something better, and he alienates others as a result of his fear and cynical attitude. In resume, Stolas is the result of years of privillege without consequences and the naivete of believing love and relationships are nothing but a perfect happily ever after all the time, and Blitz is the result of the refusal of facing the tough parts of love and alienating and shoving away others as a result. Stolas is an old naive man and Blitz is a young cynical man, and they truly complete each other, in some sense.

I can not blame Stolas for buckling under that situation. After all he clearly feels guilt and shame for hurting his daughter which I think is the real reason he hid his face. Plus what happened earlier did not help. With everyone talking about how Blitz ruined their lives and was selfish and broke their hearts. Plus he most likely realized that Blitz only brought him hear for other reasons. In that situation almost anyone would buckle especially since he is not sure if Blitz loves him back and all the evidence points that Blitz may not be worth it. Also another interesting detail is that every time Stolas tries to help Blitz, talk with Blitz or try to make things work with Blitz. Blitz is almost always looking away. This can be seen throughout the car seen and through the dinner scene. The only time he looks at Stolas was when Stolas buckles. The message is clear Blitz due to his own tunnel vision is not seeing the fact that Stolas cares for him and he only focuses on when Stolas buckles or messes up

about 10:11, if we actually reference the Ars Goetia, Asmodeus is actually one of the 9 kings, as well as being the Deadly Sin of lust in the Peter Binsfield classifications. In episode 2, Stolas refers to Goetia as a royal family. So Asmodeus could be not just his peer, but apart of his family. Which makes Stolas' humiliation even worse because now the rest of the Goetia family will soon see him as a failure as well.

honestly ep 7 broke my heart- i hope they rebuild the relationship in the coming episodes

Wow after watching this video, I realized how hard Blitz’s life has been I hope it gets better

For anyone who doesn’t know, yes Asmodeus is a lord of Lust, and Lucifer is the lord of Pride, while also being above all the other sins. The others are the Leviathan (Envy) Mammon (Greed) Belphegor (Sloth) Satan (Wrath) And Bealzebub (Gluttony) And just for clarification, I’m talking from a Biblical standpoint, not an in-universe one, although it’s likely that everything I said matches canon.

Can we just appriciate that Asmodeus was actually pretty nice all things concidered, i mean the first part of his song was telling Moxxie to sing about lust, which is completely reasonable, plus he let him finish it at the end, and the other, well okay pointing out how your wife and daughter left isnt very nice but... Its hell so its expected.. All in all, i love him

After all the revalations we got in S2ep1 I seriously can't wait to hear your thoughts and how much they contrast now with this video!

"they didn't full blown HATE each other" ohoho does episode 8 reveal some things

Another little thing to add in their relationship would what Stolas did while saying "Good Night", he bowed to Blitz, even if only slightly. That would be another point of Stolas showing that he respects Blitz, aside from calling him by his actual name.

I love how this show touches on perspectives, it's easy to see Verosica and Stella as an enemy even though they are within their right to hate both their previous lovers. Blitz and Stolas suck, but their reasons for doing what they did is understandable. I can't find myself to dislike anyone in this show, even though it's a show literally based in hell.

It's hilarious watching this after season 2's first episode. I feel like Stolas is being judged like some scrawny book cover.

The part where you pointed out blitzø’s self worth issues made me actually break down into tears. I struggle from the same things, almost to the point of suicide. But whenever I feel bad I call my friends, my friends are the only reason I am still here in this earth. I sometimes feel that the world would be better off without me. But I always try as hard as I can to hold onto what I have, and more importantly: WHO I have. Friends are incredibly important. Humans are social creatures, we need companionship. A bit off topic of how I started this. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety, I am looking to get diagnosed for ADHD, and I very clearly have depression. So I can confidently say that Blitzø has Anxiety, ADHD, and Depression. He shows a lot of the same symptoms, and he acts a lot like me. Sadly I doubt therapists exist in hell, if they do it’s probably some guy just yelling “STOP BEING DEPRESSED” and then slapping you.

Stolas also called him Blitz (not Blitzy) on their date, which I took as him taking the date seriously and trying to be genuine with him 🥺

Why does everyone talk about Octavia like she’s left She’s gone for the weekend Do none of y’all have divorced parents? This is common. Octavia’s off for her mom’s custody weekend

AYO, STELLA DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE HIM BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO TORMENT HIM LMAOO

One thing I love is that despite how Blitz might feel like everyone’s better off without him, everybody in the show would be in a way worse place if not for Blitz. Moxxie would probably still be in jail, Millie would be living in her farm without ever having met Moxxie, Loona would be living alone in the streets and Stolas would be depressed stuck in a loveless marriage.

I can relate to stolas on another level. Just wanting someone to love you when you clearly know the feeling isnt mutual.

The direction I see this going is the same theme hazbin hotel has: Redemption. Even if their relationship is toxic now, it doesn't *have* to be. And given moxxie and millie exist as the manifestation of relationship goals and these two have been directly compared to them now, I feel as though Blitz's issues are going to come to light to EVERYONE in the next episode, or possibly the second season. Then, M&M will sort of teach these two how to be like them (because Blitz clearly wants that), and eventually Stolitz will be an actual thing again. Stolas will learn to not be as overly physical and actually figure out the whole communication thing, and Blitz... Well, he has a lot to work through. He basically has to be convinced that Stolas loves him more than for his body, and Stolas currently isn't really good at that. That's what he needs to stop being a total dick. Because honestly, as self-absorbed as he comes off, he has no self-esteem to speak of. The only issue is that instead of just inwardly chastising himself, he projects his self-hatred onto others. Also, Ozzie is part of the Ars Goetia as well. Him and Stolas are most likely practically brothers, if not peers of a sort. Now, what I want to know is how Octavia is handling this, because it could well be the case that she prefers her father despite all the shit she gives him. Her mother doesn't really come off as the most caring person in the world to say the least. I know they said they wouldn't link Hazbin and Helluva Boss, but if anyone is in need of the Happy Hotel, it's these two.

Season 2 episode 1 comes out and you feel so dumb, Blitz did this to Stolas Stolas is the one who we would feel bad for.

I am so excited for you guys to review the newest episode. It’s an absolute game changer

I never understood how shippers can want fictional characters hooking up and even less so that people can care to the point of being extremely toxic. But i kind of get it now, the last two episodes got me so invested that if these two don't make things work out some how it's going to be heartbreaking for me.

Just a little note, in the Vivzie Hell hierarchy, you forgot that Charlie and Lilith are second in command under Lucifer, but above the Seven Deadly Sins.

They love each other, they need each other, but they also use each other. Blitz used Stolas to get the grimoire, Stolas uses Blitz for sex and affection, Blitz uses Stolas using him for sex to keep the grimoire, Stolas used Blitz for eye candy on what was supposed to be a father-daughter day, Blitz used Stolas to get into Asmodeus' club. The kind of relationship they both want simply can't happen as long as they keep using each other.

Weeell, this aged like milk

The reason Stolas' wife is mad is not because of cheating, but instead for sleeping with an imp. Cheating in hell is pretty allowed, but the social status of Blits is low compared to the social status of Stolas, making it shameful for Solas to sleep with Blits.

I hope they’re relationship can get fixed in the next episode Also I hope Stolas doesn’t die in the next episode as well

Also forgot to mention the fact Stolas literally tried to leave when he was confronted lol

Ok but can we just take some time to acknowledge how amazing Blitzo's voice actress did on the car scene tho? You can hear the break in his voice when he's pushing Stolas away. Blitzo clearly didn't want to push away Stolas, but he's too hurt by Stolas' actions to not do it. This episode broke my heart and honestly made me want to cry. I really hope Stolas and Blitzo can figure it out and work through their problems so they might be able to work one day. 🥺😪

Something I thought of is, Stolas witnessed Moxxie's love song and Stolas usually is pretty apathetic to Moxxie and Millie but what if after seeing M&M's loving, genuine relationship he turns to them for advise on how to improve his relationship to Blitz, I mean Stolas is a pretty major character but he's only had one bit of interaction with Moxxie in Loo Loo Land and it was fairly dismissive.

I think the biggest thing overlooked when referring to Stella (Stolas's Wife) is maybe he *didn't* choose to marry her. There is constant implications that not only was it an arranged marriage, but one done of a class borne system. It's very possible that Stella really didn't love him, but rather his power, and decided to only put in half assed effort to continue the family lineage, hence Octavia. We could be seriously overlooking this "cheating" as Stolas literally being unallowed to divorce Stella per some royalty rules, and his shame and discomfort of his own status making Blitz a comfort person for his quest for escape from royal life. This would also explain his shame towards being seen with Blitz, as he is terrified that people will discover that he's not this posh princely man that everyone expects him to be at which point his whole world could fall apart, leaving everything he's accustomed to, to falter. Stella's disgust could be then less at his cheating and more as her blatant racism has become apparent, and her desire to kill Stolas is now because he touched "the dirty imp".

13:15 I personally read this all as, Stolas didn’t know about Blitzo’s romantic past, because a) they’ve never had an actual getting to know you conversation before that night, b) he didn’t think he’d care, and then he starts seeing a pattern as others point it out to him, and he is worried

It's so cool how they put so much detail into the show to get things right from the heirarchies of hell to every emotion and phase that the characters go through. Everything about the scenes give clues to what the characters are thinking and every bit of new information could completely change your perspective on the characters. It's such a good show.

There’s two way I can see it; 1.) stolas and blitzo will rekindle their relationship and finally communicate. Although this is the ending everyone preferred, I think it wouldn’t work in the plot and it’ll be too cliche. 2.) stolas and blitzo break-up. Stolas and blitzo will need some time for themselves until they can finally understand themselves and each other. Their relationship isn’t healthy considering blitzo only see it as a “friend with benefits” and only using him to use the book. Blitzo fucked his relationship with verosika seeing he maxed out her credit card and ditched her. But again, we don’t know what anything about their relationship. Another is biltzo family, we had little information about his family, the only info we had is that his sister is in rehab. Blitzo need some time to heal before he can enter a relationship. He’s really messed up

I really love, the detail and the atmosphere of the "date" it is genuiely uncorfortable to watch, and I loved every second of it. Also Blitz voice actor, SMASHED the "trying not to cry" lines

My own theory is that Blitzø cares about people deeply but feels so cripplingly inadequate and unworthy, or scared to let people in, that he shoves away everyone that gets close to him. All of it is also probably linked to what happened to his mother, who I suspect disowned him or died. He's never known how to love people and open his heart (or the last time he did he got burned badly), because that would mean opening the possibility of being broken again, but he craves it, hence why he ingrains himself into Moxxie and Millie's relationship so often.
