Ok so, as much as Stolas is a complex character and has been fun I really hate how he treats Blitzo. First you exchange sexual favors for the thing holding his business afloat, treats it like a relationship which it wasn’t at the time, throws Blitzo away once Stolas starts getting insecure about said arrangement, and now this. I’m not saying Blitzo is perfect but like, Octavia was right about him being a selfish narcissist. Sorry for the rant everything Stolas is doing reminds me of an old Ex who used and hurt me pretty badly so it’s just a little triggering

SharkMessiah101

Also theory, I think Blitzo might be a direct relative of Satan. His mom isn’t like a lot of Imps and it would be fascinating for Blitzo to have royal sin blood. He is wrathful enough for it

Suplee215

Personally I completely understand Stolas this episode and from what I see in fandom (and that might be algorithm bias or other things) thats a hot take. Theres nothing wrong with casual sex and he made it clear to Blitz in episode 1 this season he doesn't want a relationship with him right now. I fail to see anything Stolas does wrong in this episode. Yes he's in a messy situationship with blitzo where both mde mistakes. But its mde clear they arent dating a few times so far and hes up front with his sexual partners this episode that its just sex

A

So I know that it was, uh… a lot - but I gotta say, this was actually very good BDSM ettiquette in general. Negotiating kinks ahead of time, establishing safewords and their terms in person before starting roleplay, as well as proper aftercare - a comfortable place to rest, something to drink, gentle affirmation, slowly guiding him out of the scene….. they actually put real effort into showing how to do it responsibly.

If you love something, set it free; if it returns to you, it will be yours forever.

Knew this was gonna be a rough one since episode 2 was overall wholesome and cute. I think Stolas is primarily using BDSM as punishment for himself because he feels he essentially used Blitz the same way, and they engaged in BDSM together. In episode 1, he apologised for talking to Blitz in such a thirsty manner in the past and treating him that way, so it's clear that's eating at him.

Patrycja Jamroży

For me sex isn't what I would be mad about but about random people showing at my doors. This isn't technically his apartment. And maybe it's just me but I think he should tell his..dates? Whatever you call them to wait for him downstairs in front of the building instead. But other than that he's free to do whatever he wants as long as he stays safe.

The Baker's Ruview

Stolas is on my bad list after this episode and he has a long way to win me back over. I respect other peoples opinions and wont argue. But for me personally...yh no 💅🏻

Suplee215

If hes living there thats his place It does bring up question of where exactly hes living and how. Meeting at the door isnt too crazy. Certainly does need to establish boundaries with blitzo and stuff around that

Phoenix_mercury

Agreed, I loved how they handled it in this ep, it's also clearly *somewhat* cathartic for Stolas too

Phoenix_mercury

Same, hell loona sets him up with it because stolas says they're not together

Phoenix_mercury

Maybe it could help to step away a bit, and take a breather? "And now this"? What's the "this"? Casual hook-ups? Ngl it does sound like biasm from an old pain, which is totally understandable but also unfair to Stolas, Stolas said they aren't together, ergo he's allowed to fuck others, him and blitzø aren't exclusive, he's not cheating on blitzø, the end of this ep was just bad timing of blitzø getting back just as Stolas was getting ready to go out rather than having time to explain that yes Stolas is having casual hook-up -which he's allowed- no they aren't a relationship, Stolas said he's not ready for that but misses touch, Stolas is allowed to go out and have casual hookups with people🤷

Sarvis

Stolas, I'm not here to kink-shame. But I am kink-concerned.

temp89

My writing process is identical. Getting stuck for ages on a sentence that just doesn't sound right, having the Merriam-Webster site on speed dial for synonyms, leaving it highlighted in orange if the meaning is there but it needs to be rewritten, red if the whole thing needs to be replaced.

SharkMessiah101

Here is my question, how is anything Stolas did before ok? Trading sexual favors for payment (the book) when you come from a place of power over someone isn’t ok at all. Stolas then gets pissy about it when he get insecure over what their relationship is (once again it was a not ok arrangement and if he wanted more he should have said so). I’m not one of the people saying Stolas owes Blitzo anything in fact I’d rather they stayed far away from each other. However looking at the two and what they’ve done in the show Stolas is far worse and wrong in my opinion than Blitzo.

Zzyzzx

Confused as to why people here are defending Stolas, did I miss a scene where he told Blitz about the app? Because Blitz DIDN’T consent to the hook-ups, and consent is necessary.

POMMERA Pierre-Emmanuel

I'm worried the plant will be a setup : given that Stolas is constantly inflicting more and more harm upon himself, I worry that he might use that plant against himself (when you know it causes such intense pain that makes sense).

Suplee215

Stolas is certainly in a worrying mental state right now. I do think its 50/50 on his hookups being a bad thing or not. They can actually be a healthy way to deal with negative thoughts of self loathing. Basically better to deal woth that with healthy boundaries and in a game than letting that consume rest of your life. Not enough to see which direction thats going in. To clarify i think your self harm take is valid. I just think with the role play area its a little bit to be determined. And it pronably a mix of a few things.

Xýliandra

For humans, yes. But for a Goetia? Are we sure? Cause the book said it can be like a sweet tea for them

The Baker's Ruview

Then blitzø needs to set Stolas free...maybe Charlie has a spare room at the hotel but he can't stay at Blitzø's not with the way he's acting currently.

Jared Bichler

And ruin the drama? Not a chance.

ItsSimmeRin

Dirty bird has been living rent free in my head for days now

Sasraek

I've personally mentally labeled this the NTR episode

Somebody

I study psychology and going into Stolas’ current mental state this does make sense for him. The reason why Dirty Bird reminds you of Poison is because Stolas isn’t necessarily enjoying any of this. He’s using this as a form of self harm to punish himself because that’s what he feels like he deserves. He’s reached rock bottom so the only thing he can do is stuff his face in the dirt. He’s self districting in real time. In this season when Stolas and Blitzø swapped roles they completely swapped. Previously Blitzø would self district and use sex as a way to distract him (as seen in S1 ep 8) now Stolas is in that position, even what he said to Loona that he feels numb, he’s using this as a way to harm himself so he can feel something.

Sirghostfreak

I feel like is this the opposite of progress or maybe reversed idk I'm curious so to see where it goes

Liam Gradwell

I cannot tell you how much I’ve watching and listening to Dirty Bird. I think it’s a problem by this point. 💜 Also, yeah. Hard agree Morgan. Most people won’t get the true meaning of this song and music video.

Allan Robertson

Yes! This is why am a patreon member, for the reaction and the analysis. My takeaway from this was either Stolas was craving the intimacy he got from his relationship with Blitz, but can no longer have because of his guilt of using Blitz to get what he wanted and holding the grimoire over him as leverage, so is now seeking it elsewhere. And another take, that he's using this as a form of punishment, as you said a kind of self harm without doing it himself. So will the fandom have an intelligent and informed take on this? Well no it's a bit of a dumpster fire.

Suplee215

Why does Blitz need to consent? They are not currently dating. This was talked about in episode 1 of this season

Sarvis

I'm not a fanfic writer, but I've had this idea rattling around in my head about Stolas staying at the Hazbin Hotel because Charlie convinced Satan to take some time off his sentence if he undergoes therapy there.

Ryan

The parallels to Poison were probably deliberate. Maybe the Helluva Boss / Hazbin Hotel crossover will have Stolas meeting Angel Dust? They're both in the same head space right now... "Sometimes the best music is fucked." I can name several songs where the music video makes the lyrics hit so much different. "Dancing on Broken Glass" comes to mind.

CrowOfAFeather

"The thing that holds Blitz' business afloat" You mean the grimoire that wasn't Blitz's to begin with and that he tried to steal, and then agreed to keep coming back for the sexual favours in order to keep it to himself with little to no intention of giving back? Hm hm hm.

CrowOfAFeather

They aren't together tho. Like yes, it sucks bc he knows how Blitz feels about him and all, but they are not in a relationship currently.

CrowOfAFeather

"Are the lyrics up?" I mean, subtitles are... :P Wednesday can't come soon enough, I need to see where next episode goes from here!

Xýliandra

Same here. It has a chokehold on my soul. And I honestly don't know if I like it or not😅. I like song in of itself, it's just the scene that makes it problematic for me to fully enjoy it😅

Suplee215

I do wonder if this is actually self harm or just the role play of self harm in safe environments. Its hard to get a full read on the situation from just the song. They covered consent and how he wanted the role play and for it to begin as he arrived. It can easily still be self harm or become self harm.

Canina’sTiredCloud

It’s because Stolas and Blitz are explicitly not dating atm. While Stolas is free to explore himself sexually, they REALLY need to talk

Canina’sTiredCloud

Tgriff02

11:35 Oh. Oh no. Ohhhhh nooooooooooo. Lmao. Emphasis on the EVERYTHING.

KriszGamer00

Blitz didn't have to consent because they are not actually together officially. Just like Stolas said. From Stolas' point of view, they live together, but that's it.

Zzyzzx

I forgot about them not officially being in a relationship. THAT BEING SAID, it’s still Blitz’s personal place and Stolas shouldn’t be bringing strangers there.

Suplee215

He's not. He had a date pick him up from there. Unless I missed something in the music video, none of his scenes (in the bdsm sense) took place in Blitzo's apartment.

Suplee215

I think its fair to criticize stolas for past issues. But I do think you are being very bias in your descriptions. Prostitution in and of itself isn't immoral. A relationship where Stolas pays for what he wants by giving. Blitz what he wants is fair. The power dynamic and exploitation is the problem with capitalism and class differences. The sexual aspect doesn't make it any worse. You can replace the sex with anything else and it'll be the same problem in dynamic. Blitz agreed to it and played into the relationship Stolas wanted when it suited him. Stolas then had the reaiztion it wasn't what he wanted and tried to change their relationship. He even gave blitz a way to do the job without the exploitative deal. And it ended in a messy break up once he decided to talk about it and change it. And I dont think Stolas is innocent here either but once he got "pissy" he quickly worked out how unfair the relatonship was and tried to change it. Even if it meant the break up which it did

ShadeWolf

"23 minutes okay lets do it" Me looks at over the hour long video...oh boy

Cyn MR

Speaking of the Gimpy Gimpy, there once was a man who, and I'm not kidding on this one, USED SAID PLANT AS FREAKING TOILET PAPER. Let that fact sink in

Dragon

I don't know if you listened to the song at the end credits, but I highly recommend it. As well as checking out the lyrics, since it's Stolas singing the song that was playing in the club he was in with Loona earlier. And like Dirty Bird, it also fits his situation and mental state... Which isn't great, but alas still makes for another catchy song.

Soso Slugg

This is my take and I'm sorry if I'm just repeating what everyone else is saying but ok I forgot how horny and raunchy Stolas can be when you get him fired up and ehhh but I'm worried about this route he's going about with it. I mean if he was just doing this to let out sexual frustration and all, then ok. But to quote Bee on this "He's clearly getting himself horned up and all and doing this to hurt himself on purpose. And he's giving off "Not ok" vibes" He's clearly going to these BDSM guys to punish himself for everything. Blitz, Octavia, losing his status his power and position as a prince, all of it and I'm scared and worried for him. And I do like that while the Dom is REALLY BIG and super scary, he does respect the boundaries they talked about. Stolas says to stop, they stop. But Stolas knows the safe words and the traffic signs and he's not using them during this. And I am happy that the Dom got him some water and all after everything. I mean Aftercare is important. And I know that these two are not together RIGHT NOW. But....Vivzipop said it herself that that doesn't mean he and Blitz won't be together in the future. It's just gonna be a very very rocky road to get to that point. Also he did look great in that makeup and outfit. But I hope Blitz doesn't kick him out of the house for this. But he is gonna be mad at him and I don't blame him for that. And I don't blame Loona either. She thought she was helping him with the information she was given ok? She didn't force him into going on that app and going to these guys all week. I just can't wait for the new episodes coming this Wednesday.

Megan

Wait so gimpy gimpy has a double meaning?! I thought it was just referring to gimp suits. Morgan do not look that up. Not that you need to. I'm pretty sure that's what Stolas was wearing this episode. Idrk though. Everything I know about sex stuff has just been through pop culture osmosis and adult cartoon jokes.

The Wolf of Chaos

Bruh, I’d avoid the clickbait of the internet like the plague. You’re correct on all counts of people lacking the media literacy for this episode. Don’t touch the comments, or you’ll rage quit the internet out of sheer irritation at humanity

Caitlin Conway

Yeah no I agree with you. This wasn't a fun sexy time for Stolas. This was him thinking he should be punished for having been selfish and breaking his promise to Octavia that he would never leave her. Yes! Exactly!! Its not self harm in the sense that he's doing it actively to himself BUT he's PUTTING himself into a situation where he will be hurt, humiliated, and ridiculed so he can start to "atone" in a way, so to speak, especially when the lyrics say, "This is (pause) what you (pause Get!" And I feel like they did that very much on purpose so we hear that clearly. And I agree with you also on people hating on Stolas and Blitz. Like I love BOTH characters soooo much!! And although its hard to watch, like, these situations DO happen IRL. I've been in something with some kind of resemblance (different of course) but like.... I can understand BOTH of their POV's. I see where Stolas is coming from. I've BEEN BLITZ before..... having someone you really like just for them to go out with a ton of other people. So I understand the both of them. I love this TV show soooo much I cant wait to see the next episodes coming out this week!!! 🥰 And to hear your thoughts because yeah I agree people do kinda just react without really thinking or stopping to have a moment to digest what the story just portrayed to us and just kinda make assumptions. But excited to see what happens next!

Xýliandra

I heard he 💀 himself. The pain was so intense. I also heard, that a lady got those needles stuck in her. She's had 4 Kids. 4! And those needles, was Way More Painful, than giving birth to 4 human beings!! Let that sink in

Xýliandra

I've been terrified of this reaction, but I gotta watch it. Let's get into the pain😅😓😅😓😅😓 0:25 "so why is it called 'Gimpy Gimpy', when Stolas is looking like a Twinky Twinky in this fucking thumbail, is my question." Great start to the reaction😅🤣🤣🤣 2:16 "23 minutes, okay. Let's do it" *looks over at the reaction length* Oh dear😶😶. Chat, we're in for it! 3:38 Another great face for the ages🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 7:47 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I Can't With The "So there's a Demon inside you" Title🤣🤣🤣!! I mean, I'm not Surprised, they went with that route, but still🤣🤣🤣 11:30 "Your feathers did. Your nails did. Everything did." NOOOO😱😱😱!!!! Yes to the first 2, but not the Everything part😱😱😱!!! 12:53 *says lovingly* "He's gonna look for a plant for Stolas." Yes He Is😁. Blitz wants to cheer Stolas up, and it's so Cuuuteee😍🤩❤️ 17:20 "But..

That gives me TOH flashbacks. And honestly, that works in so many different ways. We have Losers, Weirdos, Freaks, Outcasts, Sinners, etc. Anything that makes us Stand Out from the rest of society, we can all find common ground and become allies. Or better yet, Friends! 23:50 Oh HELL NAH!! BRO, MY SOUL, WOULD YEET ITSELF, OUTTA MY BODY😱!! HOLY SHIT! Poor Moxxie🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 28:30 "He's Touch Starved🥺😭!! Oh He's Touch Starved, Oh Honey, Why Did I Not- I'M LITERALLY WRITING A FANFICTION ABOUT TOUCH STARVATION!!" 🥺😶😅🤣 is what I felt through all that!! 30:32 "Safeword!" I actually Love that it's called that. Plus, to make it a bit more blush-worthy (as I like to call it), it's a BDSM app😶🫣. This are to be, InTeReStInG🫦😂😂 30:40-31:18 Indeed it is😓😓 32:30 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. If you're watching the Hellaverse, and are gonna kink-shame, get outta here! This is Not👏🏼 The👏🏼 Place👏🏼 For👏🏼 You👏🏼 33:10-33:23 Agreed!! This dude, Idk his name, He is On It!! That's what I love about stuff like this. There needs to be trust. Boundaries. Rules in place. If someone is gonna punish me (if I ever try out this type of kink), I wanna know that I'm safe, and I Can Stop it, if it gets too much!! BDSM, it's all about trusting your Dom! 33:52-34:34 🤩YES🤩 34:50-49:40 "Dirty Bird" and break down of it! 5 seconds in, Morgan's Ace ass, AND MY BI ASS, was Not Ready!! Holy Fuck🫣🫦😅. Yes, this was reminding me of Poisen too. The biggest difference is that Stolas is consenting to this, while Angel wasn't! 41:30 WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND HIPPS?! Seriously, that shot alone, lives Rent Free in my head! It has a chokehold on me!! 42:30-43:40 "And The After Care😃?!! Getting Him Water!! 🤯🤯" We love to see it👏🏼👏🏼😁😁. 49:28 "Sometimes the best music is fucked." It usually is🙂‍↕️😔😅 49:50-52:40 "Dirty Bird" second watch trough. 50:45-51:25 It is cute tho😍 57:15 TBF, Blitz is a Million times more stubborn than you Morgan, especially when it comes to asking for help😅😅 57:42 "Mox, capture your wife!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 58:55 ASS-RAIL-YA🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 59:50-1:06:15 Shit hit the fan here😬. These two, have to have a Genuine conversation at some point! It's- It's The Miscommunication That's Killing Me!! 1:06:23-1:06:42 Yooo, look at Blitz. He's Furious right here, and it literally Scares Me😱🥺. But when he realized what he did to the poor little plant, he picked it back up, sat down calmly, and started to cry. CHAT, I'M GONNA DIE😭😭😭!!! Poor Stolitz! Neither of them are in a good place right now, and yes, even tho what we just saw is really Fucked up... I just wanna hug Blitz, man! He's feeling so down right now. I'm not hating on Stolas, but he could've at least Explained better to Blitz what exactly these "Arrangements" are! 1:07:07-1:07:30 Tell them like it is Morgan👏🏼👏🏼. We just got emotionally fucked. No warning. No Safeword to stop it. Abd were just laying in the floor, feeling, probably numb, cause that's what I felt after finishing that episode! 1:08:00 We've seen his eyes in that color before, just not this intense😬 1:09:25-1:13:16 Oh, I've seen the arguments, and I choose to not take part in them. Love both Stolas and Blitz, I really fo, but I need these two to have a serious conversation!! Like I said, the miscommunication, between these two, is what's going to kill me!! Last edit: Well, this took me, Way l9nger than I was expecting it to take, but that's totally on me!! Great reaction! Loved your breakdown of Dirty Bird and the hidden meanings in it, cause people lack the media literacy, to understand it😅🤣! Looking forward to This weeks reactions of HB S3 Ep 4&5. I hope they (HB Crew) are gentle with us in those at least! I don't want to be numb for another week, lol. Anyways, now I'm off to watch your newest MAWS reaction. See ya there Morgan. Peace✌🏼

POMMERA Pierre-Emmanuel

Yes, but Stolas didn't have his Goetia powers anymore and we know his near invincibility was tyde to these powers. So I'm asking myself "maybe it's also the case with poison since regulars knives can now hurt him ?".

Willow 404

I looove the depiction, especially of the first guy, of how kinks should be handled safely and consensually... it just hurts that Stolas is prettt much using his harder kinks to punish himself... I've had Rope (the song during the credits) on repeat and the lyrics almost make me cry every time

Pearl

I watched this for the first time on my own and I wasnt happy with Stolas at all, especially at the end. I was so angry with him because just like Morgan said, Blitz has been flirting with him and trying to give Stoles hints of wanting to mess around or just to be with him and Stolas keeps blowing him off. Like I get that Stolas is going through somethings and I get that people deal with depression very differently and he wants to figure himself out but the fact that he was actively looked for someone else to bed and fuck around with while Blitz is putting in the work to try and cheer him up and make him feel happier is appalling. I know Stolas doesnt know Blitz was gone for an entire week to find something to make him happy. I get that but I just dont like that he has been going out and screwing all these guys when BLITZ IS RIGHT THERE!! HOWEVER.... Watching this again I can understand both sides. I dont blame one or the other. Blitz couldve done things a little differently like asking for help with the plant earlier so he could be home earlier and maybe if that happened, he and Stolas could talk. At the same time we know that this is all new for Blitz and he is still learning to open up and express himself. With Stolas I feel like he doesnt know how to approach Blitz and tell him how he is really feeling or if he does he doesnt know how Blitz could or would respond to that. The whole safe word situation is Stolas way of coping or releasing some pent up stress. It may be his way of punishing himself sure but I really think its more along the lines of he's comfortable with the sexual stuff with anyone else but Blitz because of the guilt he feels of how he treated him. He apologized to blitz for it but sometimes someone saying its okay doesnt make them feel like its okay. They cant just simple move on and pretend that what happened didnt. Stolas knows how bad he treated Blitz and maybe at the moment he cant see himself with Blitz because of it. For him its probably awkward living with someone you belittled and used for your own pleasures, sacrificed everything you had to save them because you fell for them and then now that person you abused wanting a genuine relationship with you, its a lot for one person. I am very sympathetic for Blitz though. Especially at the end. He is heartbroken. Ive been wehre he is at so i get it. I get trying to be someone for someone else and being genuine but they ignore your affections or efforts. Im not saying stoals is ignroing his efforts. Its more like the lack of communication is still a real problem between these too. I watched the trailer and without spoiling it for Morgan in case they read this, there is a scene that many fans think is staged or fake but honestly, after this episode, I dont think thats the case. Blitz isnt the best at acting. We know this from season 2.

Jittercritter

The ending song, “Rope” sheds more light on it, and it is 100% self harm imo

Jittercritter

As a former Stolas hater I can confirm that the way they’re handling Stolas this season is SIGNIFICANTLY better and more nuanced, I am actually loving him now and unfortunately I have already seen a bunch of hate for him this season. Like he acknowledged that what he did both to his daughter and to Blitz was wrong, that’s why he’s doing this to himself. He didn’t mean to hurt Blitz in the process but that’s kind of how self destructive behavior works, the people who care about you get hurt by proxy. This is GOOD CHARACTER WORK

seasonsofstories

I'll mention it here, but your compassionate and nuanced look at Stolas and Blitz's individual traumas and perspectives has made following your Helluva Boss reaction series one of my favorites because I go in knowing I'm going to get someone who actively loves and tries to understand these characters (because SO many people on the internet are determined to do the very OPPOSITE). I knew this episode was going to be divisive the moment I sat down to watch it, and I was so relieved that you were recognizing what the characters were going through even though they were both fucking up.

seeleyboothfan

Going by him beforehand saying he doesnt deserve a relationship right now and then in the song saying not getting love or being saved by anyone. And then at the end looking gonked out going with the shark demon and "no promises" in response to having fun. Sure there's the endorphine relief at the end but people get that way with self harm. He's also doing a lot of scenes in that short week which isn't really healthy in his mindset

seeleyboothfan

Also worriesome is the "commit die " part of it being brought up when a stolas is deep in his depression

seeleyboothfan

Someone mentioned that there's the image of a red traffic light that shattered as he's getting beaten, as if he should be using a safeword but doesn't. And with a random Dom who only sees that he listed "non-con" as a kink, if he were truly doing this for punishment and pushing past limits unsafely but not safewording, they'd have no idea. I got so upset seeing him in a bird cage in part of it - he was trapped his whole life and now he's putting himself back in willingly

seeleyboothfan

Part of my thing with this is that while he established he didn't want a relationship, he's at least friends with Blitz and knows there is feelings there - the least you can do is let him know that you want to pursue this other thing that was what they shared in the past, ESPECIALLY when you have them come to your home where Blitz can see it happen

seeleyboothfan

To Stolas, Blitz in Mission Zero made it seem like he was keeping the book as an excuse to keep seeing him. And Blitz made it seem like he'd come to see Stolas - there was no sign it was not actually Blitz getting like he had to go through with it to get the book

Suplee215

If blitz was available yes He was gone for a week. Can establish those boundaries when blitz is back. Bad timing on coming back

KaitheKnightly

I do think that Stolas is a sub. BDSM is his kink, ropes are his kink. But now he's added hurt play for self harm and non-con for the toxic words and phrases. He's both enjoying it. And using it for self harm. So he's in a bad place mentally. Stolas mentioned to Striker that Blitz did knife play before. And we know they both like to dirty talk. But that's different from how Stolas has increased it all. Granted sometimes trauma can form into kinks. But he's depressed. He shouldn't go so hard here. The role play he's asking for is fine. But he's not using the safe words or the light system... it's not safe to do that in his mental state.

Jittercritter

A lot of people have been mad at Loona for this episode, but it’s very clear that she’s TRYING to help. She got confirmation that Stolas and Blitzø aren’t together before she even considered it, and she knows for a fact that Stolas is just legitimately into BDSM on a normal day. So how was she supposed to predict he would use it to self harm? She had no reason to assume it was going to go that route. Also yeah while I’ve seen some people blaming or complaining about the people doing these things to Stolas, many more have been praising the etiquette and the positive representation of doms. It’s so interesting because we’re seeing both very healthy BDSM and very unhealthy BDSM literally at the exact same time, it just goes to show how vital HONEST communication and introspection is. Legitimately FANTASTIC way of writing such a complicated and debatable issue. Edit: Aww I didn’t even catch that she had Stolas text her the address, that’s sweet. And yeah like you noted, I’m loving the solidarity between the woman and the gay man Edit again: Stolas is giving similar vibes to Blake self isolating after Beacon 😭 STOP HATING YOURSELF YOU TWO MY POOR FURRY HEART CANT TAKE MY BELOVED ANIMAL CHARACTERS BEING IN PAIN

Jittercritter

This was my issue with him at first but he finally acknowledged it all and apologized in episode 1 of this season, as well as acknowledging how he failed Octavia. That was a HUGE step for him and instantly changed my view of his character, most of my frustration came from the fact that I felt like the narrative was excusing him. But this is why it’s so important to not be too judgmental or dismissive of a show or character until it’s over, because NOW it’s clear to me that they were trying to set up parallels, with the roles largely reversing now (Blitzø is now the one who has power over Stolas as his boss and the person who owns the apartment he lives in, and is constantly flirting and pushing boundaries despite the other party being overtly unhappy about it). This really recontextualizes past scenes as now it’s obvious that this isn’t the writers trying to baby Stolas, it’s the writers setting up an ARC for Stolas. TL;DR: I owe the Stolas believers a hand written apology
