STOLAS STEPPING ON THE FIRE IS SO FUNNY PLS I NEED STOLAS AND ASMODEUS TOGETHER AGAIN ITS SUCH A FUNNY DYNAMIC LIKE THE MEAN OVER THE TOP ONE AND THE ONE THATS LIKE BABYSITTING THEM AND HAVING THEM ON A LEASH

[helluvasweet]

Why is no one talking about Stolas wearing little shorts? He's bringing a look in this regal romp and no one is saying anything about it.

[helluvasweet]

Can we just appreciate Stolas? This absolute prince of a bird-demon was publicly humiliated by Asmodeus, then was denied the asmodean crystal and he still has the kindness in his heart to look out for the Lust King and his partner.

He didn't even ask for crystal or apology in return, just smiles at the reunited lovers and wishes the shitfaced lawyer a very pleasant getfuckedlittleone before taking his leave.

I was just listening to a podcast episode about clowns, and I realized something…

The accident locked Fizzarolli into a role he took on as a child. It made it impossible for him to ever be anything BUT a clown, whether he liked it or not.

I mean, this kid could have absolutely grown up and done anything he liked, whether that is another role on stage (which is likely) or anything else he could have wanted to do

After the accident, though? His face was literally TURNED into the face of a clown. Being a clown used to be a mask, a costume, a performance - now it‘s his literal body. His skin isn‘t white because of the make-up, but because of the burn scars; his nose isn‘t red bc of a prop, but because it‘s the only thing that didn‘t burn; his hat doesn‘t just make his horns look more whimsical, it is a replacement for his horns.

He is trapped in a role that was given to him as a child. I know he enjoys it, and that is damn lucky for him - but it‘s also extremely telling that everything else about his persona is adult entertainment, from the obvious use of Robo Fizzes as sex dolls to his own stint as Emcee in an adult entertainment club to his choice of a life partner.

He might not have had much of a say in the robots, but he sure as fuck had a say in starting a relationship with the Sin of Lust.

He can‘t ever escape his childhood, or a role that is associated with childhood entertainment. But at least he can own his adult sexuality and find joy in a body that visually traps him in a perpetual identity as a clown.

Listen…it never occurred to me that Fizz WASN’T WEARING JESTER MAKE UP.

His entire face is one massive scar…and that red spot isn’t lipstick…it’s the one spot that didn’t take the full brunt explosion thanks to the clown nose…

I don’t know if people already figured that out but I certainly hadn’t. And Christ the full extent of his injury…

He lost his legs quickly in one go but his arms…omg Fizz 🥺

We already knew he must have lost his legs and arms and horns in the accident but omg seeing it…we were not prepared…

[helluvasweet]

Well they don't have to be smug about it...

[helluvasweet]

A pretty much self indulgent Husk Overlord AU where he gambled against Val, Husk wins and in exchange, he keeps his casino and Angel's contract is transferred to Husk ;) Oh yeah and they get RINGS!!!

[helluvasweet]

u idiots u are not being sneaky EVERYONE KNOWS

[helluvasweet]

Striker's losing his goddamn mind! Also, Blitzo fixes a past mistake 🥲

[helluvasweet]

I like how Ozzie explained how lust should never be about force and it’s something that should be earned. He’d hate Val and everything he stands for.

Decided to do a quick edit on what the cards would look like with the tarot names

I chose to make Verosika The Devil because the card represents temptation and stumbling into your old habits. The rest are self explanatory:)

It is truthfully so impressive to watch how we've watched Stolas grow as a seemingly asshole character to a genuine person who truly does want the best for the person we love. (HEADS UP: This is LONG)

Now, and we're only going to lightly touch on this because the Pilot isn't cannon, but it still contributed to the public opinion on Stolas. In other words, he was borderline predatory in a way that made EVERYONE uncomfortable. (It makes sense though since he was innitially supposed to be the villain. Which thank goodness that was changed because we already see enough bisexual predators in media as it is. Yes, I'm headcannoning that Pilot Stolas was bi.)

Then we get official episode 1. Stolas is... not much better. Although to his credit, he's not as bad or as creepish. The unfair power dynamic is very there, and he definitely talks down to Blitz, but at least he waits until Blitz agrees before getting to the pilot level of sexual.

And then we kind of just keep this up until episode 7. Stolas is VERY sexual and VERY horny with Blitz, and you either like it or you don't. It was consensual, nobody forced anything, and even Blitz says that he doesn't fuss about banging Stolas, but that power imbalance is very much there.

Stolas is calling him by pet names like "my little imp" and is baby talking him, which really comes off like his fetish is sleeping with the lower class. Again, you either like Stolas at this point or you don't.

HOWEVER, despite all his baby talk and just generally inappropriate behavior, we are shown very early on that Stolas has a loving side, mainly in the form of his daughter. "You Will Be Okay" was the thing that got most people from hating him to actually liking him. It was the thing that separated him from just being a horny owl.

Then Ozzies. Hooo boy. This is where we finally get to see Stolas apart from Blitz's POV and as it turns out... he's kind of a pathetic dork more than anything else. We see him go very low. Like the man is alone in his big house eating cereal for breakfast in his bathrobe and watching telenovelas. It's hard to go lower than that. More importantly, it's a stark contrast from how we saw him just one episode ago.

Not just that, but when he's asked out on the date he is genuinely so excited and awkward that you just can't help but feel bad for the guy.

And then we have Hells healthiest couple have their dick moment which leads to Stolas covering his face, validating every and anything Blitz had feared, which lead to him calling out Stolas which leads to them both crying at home.

AND THEN WE GET THE THING THAT MAKES EVERYONE EITHER LOVE STOLAS OR THINK THAT HE'S RUINED.... THE CIRCUS.

Yeah, so it turns out the arranged marriage theory was true, and that Stella has been verbally abusive for who knows how long. But the real kicker is how much it explains Stolas's behavior from season 1. As it turns out, Blitz coming on so strong that night resulted in Stolas trying (badly) to copy that energy. And it turns out that when Blitz told him to stop that first night, he still ended up tying Stolas up and banging him. So... understandable. It turns out that Stolas never wanted to be malicious with his intentions, but genuinely thought that the arrangement was something that they both wanted.

But at the same time, he realizes that misunderstanding or no, a part of him did recognize that Blitz wasn't as happy as he was, and that he can't gaslight himself into thinking otherwise anymore.

Now the big thing about season 2 we all need to talk about, is how hard and fast it took Stolas off the regal and powerful pedestal that I think we all subconsciously put him on. Whatever mystery and darkness that surrounded him in season 1 went completely out the window in season 2. But personally I believe that this fits as season 1 was mostly told from Blitz's POV while season 2 takes place in Stolas's when he's there.

Stolas does not see himself as something regal and powerful. Stolas, as it turns out, is a romantic as well as a MASSIVE dork. Like he's disney princess levels of dorkiness. The man even gets his own slapstick moment for crying out loud.

But aside from that, he's highly intelligent and a genuinely good person who will put others before him if he can recognize the benefit.

Also, while we're on the topic, I don't think that Stolas is as powerful as we or Blitz were led to believe. Like yes, he's got immense power to those who have none.

But at the same time, put him next to Asmodeus, and this demon who seemed so strong before is actually tiny in comparison. Especially when noted that Ozzie was still holding back in this scene.

Now we have the "Look My Way" MV. By now, any dark mystery is gone, we know who Stolas is, but what we didn't expect to see was how blatantly Stolas realized his mistakes and took responsibility. This whole season we saw him be sad over his relationship with Blitz, but we never expected him to realize just how badly he messed up.

But he did. And it was glorious. And again, we realize how much he truly cares for Blitz, this isn't just him saying "I care about him" then doing nothing. This is him realizing he cares about Blitz, and wanting to do something to make it right. Even if that means Blitz will never want to see him again.

Anyway. If you made it this far, I'm impressed. As I've said before, I'm proud of the owl boy and how far he's come as a character. Tell me if you think I missed anything.

OKAY SO. I was searching up things on personal growth and I saw how people use 'i' statements to describe the problem and not to blame or insult the other party.

Which led me to remember how in S2 Ep7 of helluva boss how Asmodeus emphasized his 'i's when expressing how he felt and to make a point for fizz to not go to mammons clown pageant.

He uses the starting phrase "I don't like" to get his point across and he never blames fizz but instead just wants the best for him!

omg the details from this show when I finally get them are like a gold mine I swear!

… What if there was an onboarding video for new Sinners in hell that‘s just Hell‘s Most Famous Jester Fizzarolli singing The Whole Being-Dead-Thing

You know, like the world‘s third most depressing corporate training video

(severely sorry for the eye strain with the font but I have NO IDEA how to make borders around text in procreate, I didn‘t find out within 5 mins, and 20 minutes on a throwaway joke is really enough, so I used either black or white depending on which reads better)
