Blitzo X Stolas - Blog Posts

Something I have been wondering because I do think it is a valid concern I have seen floating around, do you think next season Stolas will acknowledge and address the ways he fucked up in his and Blitz’s relationship?

Because we have seen Blitz be explicitly remorseful for the ways he fucked up, but we haven’t gotten explicit confirmation that Stolas understands where he went wrong yet.

For me, I personally think it's going to happen. Stolas is just now starting his arc and he has a lot to learn regarding his more classist tendencies, and what went wrong with his relationship with Blitz beforehand. (By All 2 U he's aware he did something wrong, he just doesn't know what).

The writers are extremely aware of Stolas' flaws, moreso than even fans care to admit. (I mean to say that some fans don't want to admit that Stolas has these flaws, but if the writer of the show- basically points out that he has these flaws, than yeah- he has these flaws).

Stolas has a problem of getting stuck in his own head, and so caught up in his own feelings that he's extremely unaware of the effects his actions has on people.

Stolas' main problem lies in the fact that he unknowingly hurts the people he cares most about without meaning to. Stolas always has the best of intentions, but he fucks it up anyway because he sucks at communicating.

Stolas, for example, never knew till it was too late that him pursuing a relationship with Blitz- and not reassuring Octavia properly, ended up severely hurting his daughter.

By the time he realized the errors of his ways, the damage was done.

Also, as stated in the Apology Tour description, "more apologies to come"...

It's just that the same way they took their time addressing Blitz's intimacy issues- they're going to take their sweet time when it comes to developing Stolas' character.

Stolas' Future Character Arc

So one of the common criticisms I've seen regarding Stolas is the fact that after his one month apart from Blitz, we've never actively seen him grow and change for the better the same way Blitz has.

He still has these classist tendencies, he still has no friends, and he still has his head up in the clouds when we see him again in Mastermind.

I noticed that some people are rather confused by this because it's so different from what we've initially seen of him from the beginning of Season 2. And I think it's because people seem to doubt the pivotal role Blitz plays in Stolas' development as a character.

But here's the thing....

Stolas' #1 flaw has always been his general lack of awareness. Stolas isn't aware of his faults the same way Blitz is, and Blitz, as we know, is extremely aware of his faults.

People need to remember that what made Stolas begin to change as a character, to make him want to fix these flaws presented in their relationship was Blitz...

What Blitz does in Ozzie's is that he destroys Stolas' perceptions of what he thinks their relationship is: "Stolas don't act like what we have is anything but YOU wanting me to fuck you, okay, you make that really clear all the time."

And it's these words that spur Stolas to go on this grand quest to fix the very nature of their relationship.

The same way Stolas plays an active part in Blitz wanting to change and do better as a person, Blitz plays that same active role in Stolas' life as well.

Stolas makes it very clear that he looks to Blitz as a guiding light: "Maybe there's something for us to gleam, for you to teach and for me to try to learn."

And that's what Blitz is doing right now...

Blitz is supposed to be the guiding light that will help Stolas navigate his new way of life as a commoner. Remember, now that Stolas is with Blitz, he doesn't just have the lizard he's been pining for the entirety of Season 2, he has his new found family as well.

Stolas has yet to start his full character journey, and people need to understand that. These idiots are meant to grow together. That's the beauty of Stolitz, they're meant to be a couple that grow together.

My dudes, these idiots have spent the majority of Season 2 apart. I need to see them actually talking and hanging out, and improving as people and as a couple together. Please...

Why must my favorite HB YouTuber post a video talking about the Stolas, Blitz, and Vassago love triangle headcanon, I can seemingly never escape.

Please don't act like it's a good idea, especially after the events of Mastermind and Sinsmas. IT'S NOT.

"Oh Blitz and Stolas can have a bit of a breakup, and explore other people."

THEY HAD A BREAK-UP!

"Oh they can spend some time apart during their breakup to see if they still want the other."

OH YES, LETS MAKE THIS FUCKING DUET ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS.

"Maybe they can explore other people."

STOLAS DID EXPLORE OTHER PEOPLE, AND THE MEMORY WAS SO FUCKING TRAUMATIC FOR BLITZ THAT IT'S IN THIS FUCKING MEMORY REEL.

Blitz is not strong enough for a love triangle! This man is a fucking bitch baby, he can't HANDLE IT!

Also...

Blitz has ZERO intentions of exploring other people when THIS IS HIS DREAM.

I... PLEASE STOP WITH THIS HEADCANON I FUCKING CAN'T.

Why can't Vassago just be a friend to Stolas, please? FFS Stolas has no friends! The closest he has to a friend is Blitz, but they might as well be fucking married by now at this point, since they live and work together.

What is with this family and the full moon?

As much as I look forward to Blitz learning some self care and self love, he’s definitely not going to be learning it on his own. And I completely agree that it’s inevitable that the poor guy is gonna crash in season 3. But whether he burns out after the crash is entirely up to Stolas. And that’s where I have concerns.

Vivzie has stated that season 3 will be a rollercoaster of emotions, with a heavy focus on addiction and the Goetia. And poor Stolas has already been shown to have an addictive reliance on alcohol.

Now, I have faith that Stolas will ultimately be able to overcome his own hurdles to be there for Blitz, but like stated above. There will be highs, and there will be lows, and Blitz will likely crash and burn before Stolas is able to help. Just like how Blitz stumbled and made mistakes in season 2, season 3 will be Stolas staggeringly making mistakes of his own.

And though the angst with hurt/comfort will be everything Stolitz fans could ever want, watching it happen will still be painful.

Blitzø's Inevitable Crash

So Season 2 of Helluva Boss ends with Blitzø playing caretaker / supportive boyfriend / emotional support cat-lizard to his birb, who is literally having the worse day of his life.

Blitzø, right now is at the top of his game and his mental health is at an all time high right now because this is a Blitzø who has fully accepted the fact that he is loved and it is okay to love and be loved.

But Blitzø himself hasn't learned to love himself or appreciate himself more, and the show makes it so glaringly obvious. And all I can think about is how Blitzø is going to crash so hard in Season 3 as his self-loathing eventually gets worse and worse to the point it eventually explodes...

Because Blitzø is most definitely putting his own mental health in the backburner in favor of helping Stolas adjust to his new life as a commoner, and life without being codependent on his daughter.

And right now, that's fine.

But here's the thing about relationships, it's a two-way street.

Blitzø can't play caretaker and supportive boyfriend forever, and eventually it's going to be Stolas' turn to support Blitzø when he needs it the most.

And the reason why I think it has to be Stolas?

Because Stolas hasn't seen Blitz cry yet...

Because Stolas has seen the marked out photos on Blitzø's walls, but he hasn't drawn attention to them yet...

Because Stolas knows that Blitzø has his own set of issues...

Right now Blitzø is acting as Stolas' light...

Just as Blitzø was the light that taught Stolas that he too could forge his own destiny, and make his own choices...

He's going to be the guiding light that will help him navigate his new way of life as a commoner.

As Stolas learns to find love through community, hopefully he'll soon be able to see the benefits that came from choosing Blitz in the end...

And hopefully one day Stolas can be the heart that Blitzø needs to learn to appreciate himself more...

Just as he was the heart that helped Blitzø realize that it's okay to love and be loved.

i have a theory…

edit: this is how i think blitzø truly feels, not how he would react in The Full Moon ! (thought i needed to make this a little bit more clear :] )

Is Blitzo and Stolas' song and noone can convince me otherwise.

"Two lovers entwine pass me by,"

"And heaven knows I'm miserable now."

"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour,"

"But heaven knows I'm miserable now."

Thanks, I didn't need my heart anyway

In Queen Bee we learned about Blitz's Biggest Fear...

And in Sinsmas we learned about Blitz's Dream...

It may have taken some time, but Blitz's biggest fear didn't come true in Mastermind. Even if Blitz died that day, on that chopping block, he would have died smiling knowing that he told his found family he loved them, and that his found family (and at least Millie) were there to see his final moments.

Y'all know what this means chat?

Blitz is going to fight tooth and nail to make this dream come true. The dream that he and Stolas could be healthy and happy enough to settle down with their girls and be an actual family.
