don't get on that train

I wholeheartedly agree with everyone who has pointed out that Stolas believing he would die in Blitzø's place highlights how oblivious he is to his own privilege.

But I also want to talk about how Stolas wasn't the only one who genuinely believed he, a Goetia, could die in Blitzø's place.

Blitzø's agonised cries are not the cries of someone who thinks their lover is making it out alive 👀

Got bored so I drew my WoF old man yaoi (Mastermind and Chameleon). I don't know if either of them are even that old?? But they just have that energy.

Sometime in the future, I imagine Chameleon gets imprisoned by the RainWings for his crimes. He and Mastermind—who is also still imprisoned—bond over being awful single dads and maybe start to like each other. And then maybe they can learn to be better (or learn to be worse). Still thinking it through, idk.

Also, Peril and Starflight get to deal with suddenly maybe being siblings and complain about their awful dads. They can complain about Kestrel, too.

Granted its been a minute since I've gone through the tags, but I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone talk about this bit in mastermind.

This is their first real interaction in??? weeks??.?? Since the fuck you blitzo party. Idk if I can be coherent about this, and it's such a short moment, but AHHH look at Blitzø's FACE! Stolas is calling him a little wretch with this whole mastermind evil persona, but what were they both thinking in this moment!?? It consumes me

[bonehilda-deactivated]

all the yt film snobs were kinda right about saltburn being a tumblr movie since apparently everyone on all other platforms thinks it's an "eat the rich" movie?? like girl did we watch the same movie

After getting to stew on it for a week, I have some Mastermind thoughts. Crucially, I was SHOCKED in the Mastermind song when Stolitz became canon. Like, so soon?!

I think it's been interesting to see the portrayal of Stolitz from both perspectives over time, now that it's (semi-)canon. Frankly, my first draft of this post was just shitting on the portrayal of Blitzø falling in love with Stolas. And while I do think my initial views still hold merit, I did manage to talk my way out of it.

For Stolas, we have been really clearly able to see how and why he fell for Blitzø. He was his first friend, who then gave him an orgasm so good it caused him to grow a spine. Initially, it was just about sex, with the book as payment (because why would Blitzø come of his own accord?). But Stolas' admiration for Blitzø showed him he has the power to take agency over his own fate.

But for Blitzø, most of the moments showing Blitzø being into Stolas have been pretty blink-and-you’ll-miss-it (e.g. in Truth Seekers and Seeing Stars). The best exception is in Oops, where he literally lists everything that he likes about him as though they're bad things. Of course, it’s because of his self-hatred and all that, but I don’t think it was established well enough at all.

From my perspective, Apology Tour and (especially) Ghostfuckers was important for Blitzø to realise that he does actually love Stolas, and would have wanted a relationship with him. He seriously had not thought about it before the events of Full Moon. He could only admit he had fallen for Stolas when it was already too late.

Up until that point, he had been insisting on calling Stolas nothing but a "rich asshole" who looks down on imps. Recall, the “transactional fucking” line in Western Energy, that scene in Oops again. Like, anyone who knows him can tell that it’s bullshit, but from a writing perspective I really don’t think that was enough.

And I think that’s what’s gonna be interesting to see next season. Only in the last 3 episodes have we seen Blitzø openly caring for Stolas. Blitzø has historically fumbled every opportunity to show real interest in him, and while he is trying to change, that doesn’t happen overnight. I’m not sure if Stolas will be ready to believe/accept Blitzø’s feelings, and Blitzø doesn’t really know how to do relationships. The turnaround from the breakup was pretty fast. We saw how badly both of them took it, and they’ve addressed two of its causes (Stolas putting Blitzø on a pedestal, and Blitzø refusing to let others get too close)… to the audience. WE know they’ve each grown, but the other doesn’t.

I doubt their relationship will go smoothly at all. They still don’t really know how to communicate, they haven’t addressed what went wrong before, and Blitzø will have to see Stolas’ depression now that they live together (etc etc). I’m not sure if they’re ready for this at all, and rather circumstances thrust them into this situation. And honestly? I’m really excited to see how the show handles it!

hear me out, since emma had to give up swimming she decided to take up ice skating ! i feel like it suits her super well, it takes a lot of discipline and grace (classic emma traits) and it could have actually given her development. instead the show shoves *sh d*ve down our throats <\3 also if the ice was uneven/melty she’d just slyly freeze it. she’s a super athletic person she would definitely need something to fill the void and this way she could stay active and sweat wouldn’t be a problem
