To start this. Take this into note: Stolas is not on his antidepressants throughout the whole fight since he has ran out of them.
Now!! Stolas, from what we see from ‘THE CIRCUS’ had a, of course, shitty childhood. Dad who didn’t give a shit about him, the normal.
But, unlike Blitz who letted the piece of shit he calls a father berated him and get under his skin. It’s Stella who he lets get under his skin. Which I don’t blame him for. He’s known her since childhood because of an Arranged marriage. Since. Childhood.
So when we see Blitz lashing out and screaming and stomping at the end of the scene. One line that got my full attention was this one:
“Are you fucking kidding! Can I get a fucking minute to think after everything you put me through you pompous rich asshole!!”
Notice how throughout the time when Stolas leaves the room and how Stolas casts Blitz outside of his house.
He flinches. His posture when walking is stiff and fast,he is hugging himself, he is making himself smaller.
He’s having flashbacks of Stella yelling at him like that.
When Stolas shows his true feelings to Blitz and gives him the Asmodeus Crystal. It shows that Stolas wants to make Blitz feel free of this arrangement he set up in the first place.
He doesn’t know how love really works. The only love he really ever had was Stella, that’s it.
So when Stolas sees Blitz shrugging off the fact that Stolas actually cares about him and loves him -bc he doesn’t think anyone could ever love him- Stolas doesn’t know that so in his mind he thinks ‘oh yeah, he’s only here for the Grimore, not for me, why would he love me?’
Blitz, in terms of understanding things, needs time to process it. Otherwise he just starts to yell and come to the first conclusion that his mind makes up.
Stolas doesn’t know that! What he does know is that he has to end this as fast as possible because he’s gonna get hurt again. Hes fucking readying himself bc he knows he’s gonna get hurt again!!
Which is why when Stolas finally says goodbye. He doesn’t let blitz have the chance to say sorry or have the chance to talk because ‘why would he mean it? He doesn’t care. He never did…. Just like Stella…just like everyone else..’
No cause like MR. CUPCAKE DIDNT HAVE TO ACT LIKE THAT!!! HE WAS NEVER POSSESSED BY A CHILD OR PROGRAMMED TO BE MALICIOUS!!! MR. CUPECAKE WAS OUT FOR BLOODDDDDDDDD
Okay this is probably not gonna be true, but I just can’t stop thinking about how easily the rat grinders went down. Now it might just be the fact that i am pretty fond of those little bastards, but I can’t help but think about how they had such powerful spells but so little hit points, and that thing Brennan said about how anything that his players do he just puts that into his personal toolbox. And I think about how Simulacrum have all the same features, but half the hit points of the original. Now I know the players already waved it off as a consequence of them just grinding and not actually earning those levels, but and I’ll have to double check this in a rewatch, I don’t think Brennan ever verbally confirmed that. Idk I’m not 100% sure we’ve seen the last of those fuckers, but what do I know.
Today Alex Hirsch shared an exclusive image for The Book Of Bill at Art Department Eindhove, being the third preview we have and ironically the first shared by Alex.
literally so disappointed with how jjk is ending. like it just sucks that such a good concept had to end so horribly all because the author has beef with their own characters 😭😭😭
It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.
You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining. You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know
