sorry but the way stolitz are each other’s biggest headache AND biggest obsession is sooooo sexy, i hope they never lose that little bit of toxicity even after they get together
stolas just spent three whole minutes making out sloppy style with the first guy who’s ever loved him and i want you to pay attention to their individual reactions as they separate.
stolas is being eaten up by the guilt.
oh internalized homophobia stolas, you’re so dear to me…
Makes me think about Stolas dressing up for his date with Blitzø, remembering the last time he did so and how coquettishly charmed Vassago was back then, so he's hoping for a similar reaction
Only to be met with what we all know 🥲
It really isn't. Blitz and Stolas is a very messy relationship, has been from the beginning, and they both did shitty things from the start.
Blitz broke into Stolas' home to steal an important book. When he was caught he takes advantage of Stolas misreading a signal to seduce him into sex to get out of a situation. So he broke in, tried to rob him, then lied to him.
Stolas then fucked up by offering access the book in exchange for Blitz coming back to do more sex. But, importantly, Stolas thought Blitz was into it. Again, *Blitz* is the one who brought sex into this.
Blitz doesn't get a pass because he's poor. He *chose* to do all this to gain access to the book and start a business. When Stolas made access to the book contingent on Blitz returning once a month for sex (which, again, Stolas thought Blitz was into), he could've just said...no.
Stolas also doesn't get a pass for misreading Blitz. The nature of their power dynamic should've been obvious, and it took him a year to see it.
Transactional with a bad power dynamic? Sure. Rape? No.
It is exceedingly easy to empathize with both, and we just had a whole episode devoted to laying all that out. How they both fucked up, hurt each other, misunderstood each other, all that.
I think letting us see this was very intentional because I did the maths. One hit a day and Blitzø would needed to work for 70 years to save the money Vassago paid for the necklace. ONLY saving: no food, rent, clothes, bills or employees' salaries. It's so messed up.
Stolas didn't want to ask Blitz for sex because he didn't want Blitz to see him as a lowly sex object and nothing else so when Blitz said "we finally see each other for who we are- filthy fucking whore", Stolas cracked.
He said the one thing Stolas feared most.
Ppl saying that Stolas saying "I've never had anyone want me this way" is contradictory to his past with Vassago...
Blitz came at him with an insane horny energy which Stolas likes because he's an insane slut. Vassago did not come at him with insane horny energy.
blitzø reminding himself over and over that it doesn’t matter because stolas comes home to him every night
he can put up with the other men if it means he gets to cook dinner for stolas, or fall asleep watching movies with him. he can live like this
Might be a reach but- musically, we know they do everything on purpose. Listening to Crimson Sky, Stolas's tempo and melody is so distinct from Vassago's, like they're not complimenting each other.
In When I See Him, even tho apart, Stolitz's parts are in sync & blends together.
Casually learning Stolas is one of the most powerful demons in Hell is crazy.
One of the most powerful demons in Hell and he spent all that time crying over a bald man and eating cereal.
