Helluva Boss Blitz - Blog Posts

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.

Maybe I was in the FNAF Fandom too long, but I can’t help but see possible lore/future hints in Barbie’s Sinsmas merch.

In the keychain, Blitzø has reached out to his sister again by sending her a Sinsmas gift. And although she throws it away and refuses to look at it initially, I’m convinced the T-shirt shows that she eventually caves in and digs it out of the trash and opens it. Revealing a snow globe with the image of her, her mother and Blitzo all together.

This gives me hope. Because even though she’s furious with her brother, Barbie still ends up giving his peace offering a chance after she’s had a chance to cool off from her initial reaction. Perhaps hinting at a possible reconciliation between the siblings in the future?

That’s what I’m hoping for in Season 3, anyway. Because now I really want some “Aunt Barbie” moments, and not just with Loona. Octavia and Barbie would make a really interesting duo, especially since they both have underlying trust/anger towards a once close family member in common.

So, I’ve been rewatching some of my favorite Helluva Boss episodes lately (as you do, the cope is real). And to add some variety to each rewatch, I’ve started to focus on watching reactors and seeing their takes on those episodes. It’s been a blast! Seeing the different reactions and perspectives that they bring to my favorite episodes. Some of them have even pointed out things I never even noticed while watching the episode on my own. It really adds a freshness to each rewatch, as if I’m seeing the episode for the first time all over again.

Hower, it’s not always a matter of new insights and enjoyable new perspectives. Which is understandable, and expected honestly. It’s the internet, afterall.

What I don’t understand is how every reactor has had almost the exact same response to the scene from “Mammon’s Magnificent Mid-Season Special” regarding Fizz’s stalker “fan”.

Every reactor’s initial response is excitement at Blitz’s timely arrival in intercepting Creepzo, eagerly anticipating Blitz doing what he does best and assassinate the creep. But then Blitz decides not to shoot, opting instead to just smack Creepzo with his gun and leaving him to slink off. Every reactor I’ve watched was flabbergasted by this, not understanding why Blitz didn’t just kill the creep. But then, the whole event is put to the back-burner and ultimately forgotten due to the drama that immediately follows afterwards.

Heck, if I’m being honest, I had the exact same response when I first watched the episode myself. But I’ve been obsessively rewatching my favorite episodes back to back ever since “Sinsmas” aired, so of course I noticed something I didn’t pick up on that first viewing.

Blitz’s reaction to Fizzarolli’s panic says it all. He knew that Fizz wouldn’t be able to handle it if Creepzo got shot. Heck, he was there when Fizzarolli himself admitted that he does’t handle dangerous situations.

Blitz was listening. And he handled the situation in a way that he thought wouldn’t agitate Fizzarolli any more than he already was.

And it doesn’t end there! Here’s another interesting little detail that I don’t see people mentioning.

Asmodeus arrives just in the nick of time to support Fizz and help talk him down from his panic attack. But here’s the thing. How is he there? It was stated multiple times that Asodeus wasn’t supposed to be at the event in Greed. And the whole fiasco that took place in “Oops” shows that he doesn’t keep tabs on Fizzarolli when he’s outside of Lust. So, how did he know?

Simple, Blitz told him.

Blitz was working with Asmodeus to convince Fizz to quit the clown pageant in the first place. But, when everything Blitz said went completely ignored or was outright rebuffed, he simply stood by his friend to act as support. Until he realized it wasn’t enough. Blitz actually assessed the situation and determined that Fizz needed Asmodeus more than anyone else in that moment. And he took a step back and left it to Asmodeus.

Showing yet another instance of Blitz caring about his found family, and showing his love by being considerate in such subtle ways that people don’t notice.

Why don’t I see people talking about this?

Blitz was checking in with his team. Watching their backs and offering them assistance or additional support if they needed it. He even returned to check back in with Moxxie since a decent amount of time passed since he last checked in.

It’s stuff like this that really highlights just how much Blitz cares about his found family. And makes me question why people are so surprised with how considerate Blitz can be with those he cares for in later episodes.

Personally, I like to think that Millie is the one that taught Blitz this trick.

Something about Sinsmas

It’s this scene right here that’s stuck with me ever since the episode released. Blitz is the happiest he’s been in a while. Not to mention the most open and unguarded. The most relaxed. Which brings me to my sticking point.

Those marks under Blitz’s eyes? They aren’t stress/tension marks. You know, those little marks under the eyes that artists use to highlight the strong emotion in characters in certain scenes. No, those marks under Blitz’s eyes are eye bags.

Blitz is exhausted, and he has been for a good while now (those eye bags have been there in earlier episodes too). And now? With him pushing everything to the back-burner to take care of Stolas and Millie’s possible pregnancy reveal in the future? Season 3 could very easily have Blitz getting better at self care with the help/for the sake of his found family. Or maybe even having him break under the pressure prior to that growth.

Honestly, I’m just excited that there’s something else for me to lookout for in Season 3.

Some examples of high energy scenes with highlights under the eyes (that I couldn’t help but include):

Fears After Mastermind

Stolas is NOT in a good place mentally right now. The guy was already suffering from depression, but now he’s quite literally lost everything to his name. His home. His title and powers. His DAUGHTER.

No matter how positive a note Mastermind seemed to end on, past experience with Ozzie’s is setting Sinsmas up to be truly devastating. Octavia is Stolas’ only hope right now, because until he and Blitz actually manage to talk to each other, there’s always going to be some level of uncertainty and awkwardness between them (no matter how wholesome that bath scene and kiss was).

Unfortunately, any future plans/attempts at getting to Octavia are ultimately going to end with her confronting Stolas. Lashing out at him and accusing him of loving Blitz more than her as we heard in the Season 2 trailer.

This will CRUSH Stolas, absolutely destroy what little hold of himself he has right now. And this leads to my fears…

Stolas is going to lash out. Everything has been taken from him, he’s in an uncomfortable situation and has been rejected by the only hope of normalcy he could have right now, and the closest and easiest target right now is Blitz.

And normally this wouldn’t be a problem, Blitz can generally give as good as he gets. But Stolas is used to the uncaring, pure violence of Stella. And the reactive defensiveness that is Blitz’s usual response to confrontation, but Stolas has absolutely no context of a Blitz after the events of Apology Tour and GhostF*ckers.

Blitz has been put through the wringer this season, and although he’s still putting on a brave face and acting his usual shenanigan causing self even after everything, the damage has definitely been done. As seen in GhostF*ckers, Blitz internalizes everything. Every hurt, every perceived mistake, Blitz is quietly agonizing over it when he thinks no one is looking.

And all it’ll take to absolutely DESTROY Blitz, and backslide any healing and growth he’d managed up to this point, is to be told that he ruined Stolas’ life. The one fear that could very easily shatter Blitz, and I’m absolutely terrified this is the direction Sinsmas and Season 3 are going to take.

Is Andrealphus what Pilot Stolas was supposed to be?

This idea has been nagging at me ever since I saw a theory on here about a future “hellfire” inspired song being about Andrealphus, and its focus possibly being on Blitz. Which, granted, is pretty far fetched where we are currently in the show in regards to their interactions, but then it hit me. What if it was just Andrealphus trying to hurt Stolas even after everything?

What better way to hammer it home just how “worthless” and “unwanted” Stolas truly is when Andrealphus steals away the one thing (or rather person) keeping the once royal from completely falling apart?

Blitz

Season 3 could very well have Andrealphus going after Blitz romantically in an attempt at breaking Stolas, but there’s the snag. Blitz wants absolutely nothing to do with him, and is still very much loyal/devoted to Stolas. And this throws Andrealphus into an obsessive spiral. After all. An imp? Refusing him? For Stolas?

That could be the perfect scenario for a “hellfire” song.

It’s a well known fact by this point that Stolas was originally supposed to be she show’s main antagonist, but this was changed due to him being so popular with the creators and fans. But what if the concept behind that plot line wasn’t scrapped? Just reworked?

After Mastermind, Andrealphus has quite literally taken on Stolas’ role along with his status. Putting him in the perfect position to follow what Pilot Stolas very could have been.

Thoughts?

fuck zodiac signs, which one of blitz's horse ocs are you?
