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