following what @warblogs17282 said, yeah I def think Verosika is skipping the anti-Blitz parties from now on. I’d have to look back on it again, but from what I’ve seen it’s almost like she hated him not for the mistakes he made, but for the way he chose not to fix them. From what we know about their relationship, there were wrongs on both sides and V probably understood that. But when Blitz fucked up with all those people, he didn’t try to reconcile with them or make anything right because he thought it was too late. (Hence the long ass list of people he had to visit on the apology tour.) I think that second of Verosika during Mastermind was her realization that Blitz did care, and he’s finally paying for his actions.
Did Verosika offer Stolas any support during his first month as an exile or was she only his friend when they resented Blitzo together

okay so I was busy all throughout last night and I never saw viv's tweet, so imagine my surprise today when this cinematic masterpiece showed up in my yt notifications!!
overall such a great episode and it leaves me SO. FUCKING. EXCITED for season 3, but more (MUCH more) thoughts below the cut (I tried to make it in order this time ;v;)
first of all, I'm LOVING the domestic Stolitz SO MUCH and soft moments like this is exactly what they need after being in such a hypersexual relationship imho
I didn't even think about how weird eating eggs would be for an owl. Or that stolas eats rats
Stella and Andre are being assholes, what else is new.
It's interesting how they treat Octavia like a child, talking about her as if she weren't in the room with them
The whole scene of them shopping was so cooool
I really like the interesting take on Christmas, also shoutout to blitz flipping the couch over lol
M&M lovingly beating each other up🤌
More goofy moxxie screenshots to add to my collection!!
Stolas has finally fulfilled the prophecy and become IMP's secretary!
Via has such a pretty singing voice, and I love the parallels of her song to "You'll Be Ok" from s1e2
Love how stolas has a fucking mental breakdown in front of the customer
Stolas writing a spicy novel? If we don't get that published into a book it will be such a huge missed oppertunity
Millie being frustrated and wanting to kill the family was especially interesting after getting more background on her after ghostfuckers. After finding out that she's pregnant at the end of the episode, it would make sense if she wanted to kill them because it reminded her of that and she was scared. But it could also connect to her "I'm the muscle and nothing else" insecurity that we saw from ghostfuckers. Even if she's come to peace with that, it's bound to come back on a day all about celebrating your origins.
Laughed my ass off when stolas punched Andre. He def learned that from moxxie and millie
The fight scene was absolute perfection. You can tell the animators said "fuck the budget!"
THE STOLITZ KISS SCENE OMFG
The fact that via saved stolas' life, but still hasn't forgiven him is actually so sad
Yayyy loona has friends to talk to! (I actually didn't think she had any friends other than tex but I'm so happy for her)
Loving all the sinsmas outfits, very bootiful
Millie is fuckin PREGNANT??
That whole scene on the balcony killed me
A little detail I loved was that blitz was actually able to make stolas laugh, even though they are both in such dark places. And I think that's how they are gonna get through it in the end
ill probably post more unpacking this stuff but this is just everything important I noticed. Anyway good job to Viv for another heart wrenching episode!
completely agree, especially with this part,
and although I know it's a lot to ask since there are only 5 episodes left and not a lot of room for more character development, it would be really nice to see them both work through their issues together.
You know the classic trope where one character gives another something to help them be "normal," which doesn't turn out well because what is "normal" suppresses who they are and wants to be? I really love the unique way they executed it here.
If Zooble gave Gangle that mask because they wanted her to be "normal" in the sense that she should suppress something about her that Zooble takes issue with, then it would be very damaging (and even insulting) to Zooble's character because of who Zooble is and what experiences and struggles they have.
And it's for that reason that I absolutely love what they did for both of them in this episode!
When Zooble wants (to help) Gangle to be normal, the normalcy, in this case, is not about achieving CONFORMITY; it's about achieving HARMONY, that is to say, helping Gangle find harmony with who she is through overcoming the distress and struggles she faces.
It's not about changing Gangle's identity and suppressing the things that make her who she is; it's about helping her fully embrace those things!
Not to mention, these little moments between Zooble and Gangle are made all the more poignant because we know that Zooble has a similar struggle, which allows them to relate to Gangle's struggles and help her get through them with the things they've learned from their own!
ITS EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE🥹🥹🥹
(yapping under the cut)
I really liked how they portrayed gangle in this one, the struggle with trying to please everyone is shown so perfectly in her!
My theory about her mask was right!! ABSTRAGEDY WIN
Caine and bubble sharing a tongue is so out of pocket but I'm here for it
The background designers outdid themselves with this one,
zooble's room looks so cool and fits their vibe so well,
and the restaurant and caine's office look really realistic too!
GUMMIGOO CAME BACK!!
Jax and ragatha were fuckin hilarious
Gangle said the huffing paint thing!
The scene where she throws her mask was actually so moving to me for no reason
and of course, THE ENDING?? my heart fucking melted
I can really see why glitch was hyping this up so much, its easily my favorite and I'm so excited to see what they create next! (open to discussions as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts!!)
