WE SURVIVED THE STOLITZ MERCH DROUGHT LOOK HOW DISGUSTINGLY IN LOVE THEY ARE OMG!!!!

Small nightmare Tilla analysis from someone with her own dead mother trauma (yay...) Just as I expected from the trailer, this scene came for me personally and I don't know wheter to hate or thank Brandon for it.

What personally got to me was how Blitz wasn't just hallucinating the things around him, but also how he preceived himself, aka as the age when his mother died.

I dunno about other people with dead parents/loved ones or if I just still haven't processed my grief properly yet, but I always mentally regress in age whenever I think about my mother. Maybe it's my brain trying to pretend she can't be gone if I'm still that age, I really don't know, grief is weird. I'm not entirely sure if that was the intention behind it, but seeing it visualized like that hit me.

But it's especially this part that had no right to go as hard as it did.

We still don't know all the details of what happened inside the tent, like if Blitz found her dead or had to witness her burning alive as he failed to save her (knowing this show's track record it's probably the later). I didn't lose my mother to fire, but the concept is still all too familiar to me. Seeing your mother, who's literally burning on the inside (tumors can go to the worst kind of hell) still force a smile through the pain and tears for the sake of her child as she's withering away... is the literal last memory I have of seeing her alive.

I mean, this scene is without a doubt written so well and I'm positive it still heavily affected even people without similiar grief/trauma, but for me who does have that... I think what scares me most about this scene is that I know I would see the exact same thing if I was under the same influence as Blitz is here.

Bonus points for having Blitz wear a piece of his mother's clothing, that's also something I do. Me and my mother had the same size, so her entire wardrobe went to me. It's comforting, like a piece of her never truly left and is always with me. I totally get why Blitz is so attached to it and I'm so happy he didn't lose it. It seems to be the only thing from his mother that survived the fire.

Oooooh, I love their design.

LETS GO!

HELLUVA BOSS 1.07 - Ozzie's 2.09 - Apology Tour

And as Blitzø squanders his apology tour...

... somewhere in Hell a couple of demons, who happen to be experts on apologies and made a whole song about saying sorry, are shaking their heads in disappointment and are ready to take matters into their own hands.

𝅘𝅥𝅮 Makes me burn! 𝅘𝅥𝅮

Guys, imagine Blitzø just leaves a cake like this in front of Stolas' mansion's door and runs away.

HELLUVA BOSS 1.07 - Ozzie's 2.08 - The Full Moon

You know it's bad when Stolas cries from both sets of eyes.

Even after Ozzie's he didn't do that.

Despite these being obvious parallels, I love how they're still very different scenes. This is how you parallel right. To show progression and/or how two different characters handle the same/a simmiliar situation.

We've already discussed how Stolas tends to shut down and struggle more inwards, so his scene is him just calmly sitting down on the stairs and blankly staring at nothing.

Compared to Blitz's scene, who we've discussed is more prome to show his struggles outwards through anger and agression, so he literally screams up into the sky.

This Tweet Viv liked best explains what was meant by this dialog exchange.

Stolas never blamed Blitz for their relationship being purely about sex. It was him realizing he made it that way, but because of the high emotions of the moment he wasn't able to verbalize it properly (compared to his well verbalized confession that he undoubtly mentally scripted for weeks).

And because this scene is the literal dictionary definition of "miscommunication through lack of the other's perspective", Blitz took it as Stolas blaming him for what the deal turned their relationship into, so he understandably lashed out.

HELLUVA BOSS 2.04 - Western Energy 2.08 - The Full Moon

It's wild seeing some people throw the "it's a trauma response" argument for only Stolas OR Blitz, while actively attacking the other for how they reacted.

Like... you do realize the argument you use to defend one, literally also works for the other? Right?? That's the entire point. That they're both broken and traumatized people who don't know how to process their emotions and mostly run on trauma responses.

Also, I will die on the hill that the writing in this show isn't about who's "right" or "wrong", it's about characters making understandable decisions (including mistakes) and reactions based on how they've been pre-established. THAT is what makes for interesting character dynamics, because relationships aren't all black and white, with one clear bad guy and one pure innocent soul.

Stolas made the mistake of dumping everything on Blitz, not giving him time to think/process and explain himself. Blitz made the mistake of (unintentionally) mocking Stolas' confession and going straight to yelling and insulting him.

They're both wrong, but for understandable reasons that make sense for where their characters are in the story.

The way the shine literally leaves Blitz's eyes when the doubt sinks in and he refuses to believe Stolas could possibly be genuine.

I swear to Lucifer himself, the way this half a second clip from the trailer is gonna push me through the coming episodes, because it means SOMETHING positive has to happen between them again for them to interact like this...

And honestly, even without this moment in the trailer I would've refused to believe all hope is lost for them. Their love for each other is too strong to permanently give up and stop fighting for what they could have.
