1) his own fault
2) Blitz snipped at Stolas for how little he was respected, Stolas DOES look down on him
3) his own fault
4) his own fault
5) he does love Via, but not more than himself
And becoming a slut to cope through sex is not "living". This is clearly being framed as a bad thing. One thing Stolas has in common with Blitz is that much of his suffering is self-inflicted due to failing to learn from mistakes.
Blitz is no saint himself, and he is partly responsible for how he was treated by stealing the grimoire and pity-fucking Stolas. But unlike Stolas, Blitz has learned and changed over the course of the story. He's a far cry from the selfish asshole he used to be.
Stolas, meanwhile, hasn't learned a damn thing. Still making the same mistakes as his introduction: self-absorbed, clueless, casually cruel, dismissive, and oblivious. That's why many fans, me included, are so frustrated.
We want to see character *growth*, not character stagnation and degradation. After everything Mastermind and Sinsmas set up, now was the time for Stolas and Blitz to learn and grow *together*. Not necessarily as a couple, not yet, but to have conversations about their feelings and where they stand.
Instead, we're met with...this. One can make every excuse under the sun, that doesn't justify how Stolas is acting.
Me quedé con mal sabor de lo de ayer... so. VIA PICS I REALLY REALLY LOOOVE <3 a thread 🧵
