#sinsmas helluva boss

Everyone be talking about character development but why is nobody discussing how blitzø went from

"(What) The fuck is insurance?"

To

[timkontheunsure]

Stolas gave Via what he didn't have in childhood

Agency

and unconditional love.

She was allowed to express her emotions.

And he even gave her her guitar; so when things got too big to process she could do it through music too.

He made his love of music a gift for his daughter.

All this he sheltered from the goeita and from Stella in particula; so she'd have the breathing room to grow.

Giving her the strength to say no to her abusive family much easier. And even tell him to take hike.

He has definitely not always been perfect; but he raised a brave powerful girl, who knows she can choose.

Still thinking about how so many "Stolas working for IMP" headcanons included the fact that Stolas' mannerisms might make him better to deal with customers on the phone vs. Loona's gruffer and disinterested personality. But on Stolas' first day he broke down crying, wrote shitty erotica, told the customer to shut the fuck up, had a screaming meltdown, trashed the office, and literally just left.

✨ What a fucking icon. ✨

We passed WAY TOO FUCKING QUICKLY past the fact that Octavia went from THIS

to THIS in the span of?? A YEAR??? Stolas did mention one singular time that he taught her some spells, but... like—

Stoliz are fucking shaking in their boots. i highly doubt Stolas taught her that.

It looked and felt like summer or spring in Seeing Stars, when in the Sinsmas it is... like obviously WINTER, so... was she sitting in her room casting spells BY HERSELF, like, non-stop, to achieve this growth? Stella wasn’t teaching her, I can tell you that... her uncle isn’t giving much fucks about her, so... SO???

go reduce her to just being Stolas' daughter forever, IDK. In the meantime, she's gonna FUCKING RULE HELL instead of Stolas or some shit

She is more emotionally intelligent than anyone from the main cast, she is the most difficult to manipulate, she is now THE MOST POWERFUL — but sure, sure, Sroliz' daughter and just a silly baby 😍🙏 sure — sure.

As much as I adore secretary Stolas, I need his permanent position in I.M.P to be their accountant.

Stolas might just be smart enough to save I.M.P from horse-themed financial ruin.

And anything to give poor Moxxie a break. Please. He needs it.

He's Wearing EARRINGS ✨

Conditional Love -

Stolas will try to leave, and Blitz will have to tell him he loves him.

The song Merry Sinsmas lyrics foreshadows it. It's from sung from Blitz's view.

"You pack your bag, you kiss me on the cheek, you tell a lie 'that you will soon return to me'."

Then it back to Blitz saying "I loved you then, I love you still, and now it won't be long until you're here at last. And then I'll ask if you heart still burns for me?"

"I would travel every ring of hell just to see if you'll be mine."

"Merry Sinsmas. Know that you are on my mind! Merry Sinsmas! Truer love is hard to find."

Stolas will leave, and Blitz will have to tell him how he loves him to keep Stolas.

But ok why will Stolas try to leave?

Stolas is just as bad as Blitz with self worth issues. He believes any love and affection he receives is conditional.

He doesn't even think that Blitz would stop being friends with Striker, after trying to kill him.

Any love and care he reserves from Blitz is a tally in his mind. And on the other side is things he thinks he has to do to deserve it.

Same go with Via, so any her being angry isn't just that; it's that she hates him and he's not worthy of love as a father.

(Seriously they're so similar with this).

While Stolas can and does love unconditionally, he believes he's not worth it in return.

If he does enough good things for the people in his life they'll care about him for a little bit. If he doesn't they won't, because he's fundamentally unlovable.

It's the mind set of alot of abuse victims, because it is how abusers work. Their victims are tools, and it's really is a case of 'so what have you done for me lately'.

So what's Stolas thinks on his side of the balance sheet with Blitz? Gratitude, pity and guilt.

Stolas tuck Blitz's place, and tried to give up his life to keep him safe.

And since then Blitz has been showering Stolas with love and care for a month. Showing all affection he normally keeps completely hidden...

Blitz even hired him on.

While we know Blitz has been crazy about Stolas for around a year, (the guy's blushing about them in Harvest Moon Festival).

And Blitz thinks that he's been very clear.

That Stolas already knows how he feels, because he's already begged for him not to go, when he pleaded for Stolas to not die for him.

But Stolas really isn't getting this. Like Blitz didn't get that Stolas really loved and cared about him; all through their stupid tit for tat deal.

Trading affection from Blitz for access to the grimoire. Ooof.

I absolutely love Blitz savings Stolas from the dragon.

And in that moment it makes him so happy. Finally able to responding romantically again to Blitz. Because he gets Blitz loves him here.

But then he gets the stuffings knocked out of him. With Via telling him she was just an obligation, and him thinking she hates him; Stolas thoroughly back into the conditional love mindset all over again.

Because what makes this time difference after all?

In his mind Blitz only saved him as a debt to be repaid, with Blitz even appearing to tell him so... 😬

It's why he starts withdrawing again, cus he's got to remind himself it's fake. And it would be taking advantage to respond to Blitz.

A guy who's Stolas thinks has told him twice, that he'd never really want to date him. That Blitz never like him romantically, but he's willing to fake it. Ooof....

And now Stolas believes they're square, a life saved for a life saved.

Why would he expect Blitz still be lovely and caring of him after all? Stolas tells Blitz there's no need to feel guilty for what it cost Stolas, because it was his choice.

Blitz thinks he's been very clear that he wants Stolas, that they're on the same page, about them being in love with eachother...

But Stolas...He thinks it's all fake. An act Blitz is putting on to be nice to him. That if he went along with it he'd would be taking advantage again.

Same as he thinks he did with the grimoire, cus he still doesn't know Blitz enjoy spending time with him, outside of sex.

Stolas really does thinks he's an unlovable monster, that Blitz was forced to put up with.

And it's very unlikely he's changed that view of himself, now he has even less he can give Blitz.

Honestly he could do with Fizz pointing out no one goes to this much trouble for an easy lay. (If Fizz is to point out Stolas is being an idiot about how obvious Blitz love himI laugh so hard).

It's very likely to come back around this conversation.

It's played out twice so far.

First with Blitz wordlessly telling Stolas leaving to go dance with with BTB.

Second with Stolas leaving the party, Blitz flowing, but this time staying and dancing with Stolas himself.

Rule of three is very common in media. Think this time Stolas will leave, Blitz will follow, they'll dance; and Blitz will use his words to tell Stolas why the wants him to come back.

That he'll have to run over rings to get to Stolas, and tell him Blitz loves him, and for how long he has. And ask if Stolas still loves.

With Blitz bringing Stolas back this time.

It would be lovely if this was a duet between the two of them, because so far there duets have been fully on the same page.

WISH has them singing at cross purposes in two different places.

And Mastermind has them on the same page emotionally for their soliloquy, and in the same space, but they don't actually hear eachother.

The previous two dances have were set to diagetic music, and have it be a full duet that would be a sweet way have them talk. Like with Crooked between Fizzarolli and Asmodeus.

But come on Blitz just ask Stolas out properly.

(Ok level with you, I'm not ready sure that song is full foreshadowing. With every part going happening. Sam's said it's just a Christmas carol.

But Stolas trying to leave, because he thinks he's being a burden, and that Blitz only likes him because of guilt, gratitude, and pity; makes way too much sense to me.

The idea that Vassago might offer Stolas somewhere to stay keeps coming into my head. It would make sense as he seems to like Stolas, and the rich tend to not like to see 'one of their own forced low'...

Don't think that either Blitz or Stolas would want Stolas to go. But unless Blitz tells him how he feels, it does seem like something their own self worth issues could do).
