#Helluva Foreshadowing

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).

The mysterious demon snarled in defiance before Satan.

Heat radiated off him and his glowing eyes blazed with fury.

As my demon lover took a stand against his lord,

I felt my love for him burn even hotter than the fiery depths of Hell.

Emberlynn Pinkle you depraved little genius

[bleucaesura]

Not gunna lie.

Very much looking forward to when the show revisits THIS in the future and feeds us the yummy yummy rom-com “train” in the rain scene of Blitzø begging Stolas not to go because:

“I cannot be without you!”

*swoons* 😻❤️🥵🥰

Yup. Very much looking forward to that.

I’ll eat that shit up.

Nom nom nom nom nom 🤤

[miyakuli]

Yeah right

Secretary Stolas is def gonna be canon at this point

[impossiblesublimelight]

What is with this family and the full moon?

[mayketz]

so excited for secretary Stolas

[drama-glob]

With this moment in "Sinsmas," it definitely continues to add evidence to the idea that the indicator that Blitz and Stolas are in a good place relationship-wise/are a couple is when they both accept the other's hand.<3<3<3

No rest for the wicked

What often keeps my mind occupied and worried for the last couple of... weeks, or even months, maybe, is what might happen to Stolas's relationship with Octavia in the near future.

We know something bad is brewing. The trailer gave us enough information to freak out but learn nothing from it. I think though that I have found yet another foreshadowing, and I am sad I did. I was not sure if I should post it since predictions and speculations are not quite my style, but fuck it, I’ll roll with it. I want you to suffer with me <3 Besides, after yesterday's @tealvenetianmask's wonderful post about Stella and how society enables her behavior, and my rambly reblog, which delves more into Stolas's relationships with Octavia and how they are affected, I decided I need to let it out of my system.

So, you see... while I believe this screenshot is our last hope for us, the Stolitz nation—that these two dumbasses will have ANOTHER chance to talk properly...

It implies that something arguably worse than their breakup is going to happen. Something on the 'whole palace is in ice and Stolas is in immediate mortal danger' level of 'worse.' Something bad enough to make them forget all the shit they’ve gone through with their disastrous miscommunication and unite to face a common threat.

Andrealphus.

Something that would make Stolas to leave quickly and forcibly. Run for his life. Disappear, sweeping off his trail, without Octavia knowing...

And let her think he ran off with Blitzø.

Are you gonna run off with him and leave me behind? Go away, where I can't find you?

Make her run around the palace looking for him and not being able to find him. Because he isn’t there.

Daddy! Daddy... I had a dream! A really bad dream! I was looking all over the palace, and I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!

And the worst part is that it would make her assume the worst: that he left her behind just for a weird red dickhead.

Why?

Because Stolas's relationship with Blitzø has caused a rift between the prince and his daughter.

Because he, unfortunately, has never told her what kind of mother Stella is, or what she has done to him. She is left to believe everything was okay until that imp came around, seduced her father, ruined her family, and wrecked her home.

Because Stolas grew distant and forgot about the important stellar event he promised to show her. Was he wrong for it? Of course not! Stella made everything to throw him off the rails completely that morning. But Octavia still has the right to be upset.

Not to mention that she’s nowhere to be found since that night in Los Angeles… Why isn’t she around? Is she resentful toward him? Is she being kept from him? Or is he keeping her at arm's length because of the assassination attempt and his deteriorating state of mind? What happened?

I can already see how Stella and Andrealphus could use all of it against Stolas, grooming Octavia and simmering her in hatred for him. Bluntly lying about true reasons Stolas fled.

Stolas kept silent about the abuse he survived, hoping to protect Octavia and let her live a perfect childhood. But instead, she won’t have a single soul to support her, since Stolas will be chased off and hated. By her. Surrounded by vultures who now prey on her, who have couped her father and forced him to break the solemn, earnest promise he made to her.

What?... No! No, no, never! I'd never do that. Never...

How fucking tragic is that?

[shhrrroooommmmmyyyyyy]

hear me out

imagine this is how blitzø proposes. we're cooked if there's a horse involved. or if it's under the tree from their childhood

that's it

that's my ted talk

[godrotty]

Can u imagine if this kickass imagery was connected to long-term narrative consequence rather than being a brief showy wad of nothing-cotton for boy angst

[hideawayfairy]

Fun Fact

The parts in "Look At This" in which Fizz resembles a snake were not in fact a reference to Kaa from Disney's The Jungle Book as many plebians are lead to believe. But rather, they are actually foreshadowing that Alex Brightman would be announced as the official voice actor for Sir Pentious.

this is a screenshot i took a while ago. it's interesting to me that fizz's expression is one of glee, a tiny bit of judgment, but he is happy to see blitzo at ozzie's with a boyfriend of high status.

[anthurak]

So this is going to be part of an upcoming post I'm working on...

But does anyone else remember this lighter we see Loona using in Mastermind?

You know, the one we first saw back in Seeing Stars?

The one which was clearly used as a visual metaphor for Loona's messy, dysfunctional but still genuine and caring relationship with Blitzo?

And then in this episode, we see BLITZO send this lighter up in flames.

So I can't help but wonder if this is hinting at anything...

Stolas breaking down and crying desperately after Via left him was so heartbreaking, I think this moment and Full Moon were the only times I cried watching HB. My baby🥺
