After winning Octavia over, Blitzø's reputation as a serial daughter adopter reaches so far that the day he meets the Hazbin gang he has Lucifer and Alastor tailing him so he doesn't pull any funny fatherly business with Charlie and Niffty.
Blitz just adopting everyone's daughters because he's Hell's Greatest Adoptive Dad.
Okay, but that moment in Harvest Moon Festival when Millie confidently and fondly proclaims that Stolas, The Prince, is Blitzø's boyfriend, really hits different after Ghostfuckers.
Blitzø had such a huge impact on her, he truly helped her believe that he, and she by extension, could be anything they wanted to be. She didn't even question it. Of course Blitzø could date a Prince of Hell. Duh. What a no-brainer.
They just. They make me so emotional 😭
So we all know Blitz is protective of Stolas, but I think Moxxie is, too.
Despite Stolas never actually calling Moxxie by his name, usually ‘that one’ or ‘little one’ (or if we’re going off Sinstagram, ‘little imp,’) Moxxie only has high esteem for Stolas. He has nothing but positive things to say about the ten-foot-tall bird. He has helped rescue Stolas twice now (three times if you include Loo Loo Land, but I don’t because Stolas clearly didn’t need it) without hesitation or question. He still refers to Stolas as “Highness” until Stolas requests he stop, and I doubt he will. When Blitz says everyone needs to be on their best behavior in the office, Moxxie says that no one needs to actually follow that rule but Blitz. And he even makes Stolas a horse cookie for Sinsmas!
Moxxie really took one look at Blitz’s wet cat of a situationship, shrugged his shoulders, and became a Don for that man and that man only.
I feel like M&M are Stolitz shippers and have been for a while. The whole Grimoire arrangement thing probably seemed insane to them at first - I mean, in Mastermind we can see by Andrealphus' reaction how absolutely unprecedented of it was. And while its Blitzø's ambition and determination etc. are really what make I.M.P. work, Stolas allowing him to use the Grimoire completely elevated all their situations.
I do think Stolas swooping in to save them in Truth Seekers made a positive impression, too. When Stolas suggests they return home, Moxxie's the one who actually replies. The concept of a Goetia swooping in to save them and only giving them a light chastising is not typical. There's not a single hint of him trying to take more control of how they use the Grimoire or anything else, despite the fact that the D.H.O.R.K.S. would have had both the entire I.M.P. crew AND Stolas' Grimoire if he hadn't stepped in. I'd say that Seeing Stars was a second example - Stolas' Grimoire and his daughter are literally missing in the human world, and Stolas' reaction is to work with I.M.P. to find them, not get them in trouble or throw his power around.
Moxxie has plenty of experience with negative authority figures - his dad being the biggest example. Stolas has the power to be among the worst of the worst and just...isn't. Yes, he has some heavily ingrained and offensive problems from his upbringing, but the malicious intent, which is accepted in their society, is not there. I think M&M took one look at this awkward situationship with their extremely unconventional boss/best friend and this extremely unconventional prince and went "Yeah we ship these weirdos."
Also, Blitzø collapsed internally and nearly bankrupted the company when he thought he lost Stolas, and then the next time they see Stolas, he almost dies to save Blitzø. I think they're at the point of "ride or die because otherwise Blitzø is gonna fall apart."
Millie and Moxxie are definitely diehard Stolitz shippers, and I also think Millie and Moxxie are very acutely aware that Blitz needs Stolas.
The same way Millie and Moxxie need Blitz in their life, and have an undying sense of loyalty to him; they are able to see that after the events of Mastermind and after seeing their boss spiral in Ghostfuckers, they know Blitz now has an unwavering sense of loyalty towards Stolas.
Also, to Millie and Moxxie, they also see it very much as Blitz just doing what he usually does, which is take in lost souls left and right, and making them part of his eclectic family. Blitz has done it with Loona, he's done it with Moxxie and Millie, and now he does it with Stolas.
I don't think Moxxie has any particularly strong and unwavering faith towards Stolas, but Moxxie sees how important Stolas is to Blitz and how important Blitz is to him, and he accepts it. To me, Moxxie offering Stolas cookies to him during the Sinsmas, is Moxxie simply welcoming Stolas to the family.
People are treating what happened at Sinsmas as a complete role reversal between Stolas and Blitz, where Blitz is going to be the one chasing after Stolas, and Stolas pushing his advances away...
When the situation is a bit more nuanced than that...
Blitz and Stolas both don't have their masks up
The reason why Stolas had such a hard time in the season was because he had to take down those impenetrable walls Blitz put around himself. In that same vein, Stolas also had these walls up when he communicated with Blitz as well.
By the end of the season finale, those walls are down and these gentlemen are able to speak to each other face to face without keeping up a facade.
Blitz and Stolas are together 24/7 now
The reason why it was difficult for them to communicate before was because they were operating under the terms of their transactional agreement where their only excuse to meeting each other was during the nights of the full moon.
However, by the end of the season, both characters live and work together.
Blitz and Stolas have wildly different problems they have to overcome
Blitz, before, was not in the right headspace to give or receive love because he was still under the belief that his love hurts people and that he didn't deserve to be loved. Remember, one botched love confession literally mutilated his best friend, killed his mom, and destroyed the lives of his entire circus family.
The reason why Stolas isn't in the right headspace to give or receive love is because he's still processing his new way of life as a commoner, and the fact that his daughter doesn't want to see him. If anything, the main obstacle keeping these bozos apart now is Octavia.
Blitz and Stolas do love each other
Despite all the bullshit these men have put each other through, they both do genuinely have feelings for each other. However, Blitz knows that what Stolas needs right now isn't his love, but his support. And Blitz is happy with that because the only thing he wants to do right now is be there for Stolas.
When Blitz lost everything in the circus fire, he was alone with nobody to help him and guide him. However, when Stolas lost everything during the trial, he wasn't alone because Blitz was there to pick him back up.
Blitz doesn't know how to give up
While it is true that Stolas shuts Blitz out at this moment, Blitz doesn't give up and use that as a sign of rejection.
Instead, Blitz improvises by inviting Stolas to dance, and Stolas reciprocates.
If Stolas didn't want to dance with Blitz, he didn't have to, he could have just as easily shooed him away but he didn't. In fact, Stolas looks so happy to be invited to dance.
Blitz has this knack for getting Stolas to laugh, even in his most darkest days... so that helps too.
Blitz has a goal now
This is Blitz's endgame, his goal. Blitz wants to be at a place where he and Stolas could be happy and healthy, and live a life with their daughters by their side. He wants this, and Blitz is going to operate in a way to achieve it.
Because that is who Blitz is...
He is a tenacious bastard that doesn't know how to give up. He wanted to be his own boss, so he opened a business. He wanted an easy way to get to earth, so he fucked a Prince. He wanted a family, so he made his own eclectic one.
Blitz, despite the fact that he can be a complete asshole and an idiot, usually has a way of getting what he wants in the end.
Blitz doesn't have the common sense to give up, and is hellbent on annoying the Universe until it gives in.
It's why he's my favorite character, Blitz is very much aware of the fact that he's a hot mess, but there's something quite intriguing about seeing a man build himself to new heights to get whatever he wants.
Loading up on weapons so her best friend can fight for the bird that he loves so much that it turned him into an emotional wreck just over a month ago...
And taking the time to grab a flag with that bird's royal crest on it!
Millie really is one of the best friends anyone could ever ask for ❤️
Love how Stolas had a weapons room. He probably knows how to use none of it. And that was probably all just ornamental for the longest time lol.
Peaceful, pacifist bird didn't even know it was there.
dude are you kidding me
pretty sure it's the same flower that we counted "he loves me, he loves me not" on in Western Energy
Ok I'm dumb sometimes times🤦
Spotted it was budding flowers, the same type as the one he's sent in hospital.
And that Blitz bought the journal for Stolas.
But was like 'they're not enough evidence that Blitz sent the anonymous flowers, I hope we find some in season 3'.
Then boom you lovely people had already solved it.
I really love that Blitz is acting more like Fizz the more genuine he becomes with himself and his feelings. The more love he gets, the more love he gives.
Okay, let me explain what I mean by Blitz acting like Fizz.
This whole time we've seen this still goofy, but mostly brooding, angry and tough persona he put up. His coping mechanism, the person he showed everyone else in order to protect himself from hurt. He seemed so different that it was almost strange for Blitz and Fizz to have been best friends.
Note; I'm not saying it's impossible for vastly different people to become good friends and I know we've been shown that Blitz used to be quite cheery. I'm just trying to make a point.
Now though... I see him giving so much love, so much support, being a happy little slithering gremlin, etc. It just feels like... Yeah, I know why they became best friends. I see what Fizz saw in Blitz. This is the Blitz that Fizz befriended.
It is finally the Blitz that once existed and not the one protecting himself. Needless to say, Blitz is obviously still tougher than Fizz, but you get my point.
I'm glad Blitz gets to finally heal.
I think one of my favorite parts about Blitz is the fact that he is a main character that is honestly so grounded in reality.
He's designed to be so fundamentally flawed and broken, that a lot of the shit he's done really overshadow all the good.
Blitz is an asshole, he acts egotistical and selfish, and destroys his relationships in the worse of ways in a bid to push people away.
Yet at the same time, he is so fucking lonely, so depressed, so desperate to be loved, to be noticed, to be someone important to anyone. He wants people to love him so fucking bad, but at the same time his self-loathing nature forbade him from even dreaming of that.
So he hurts and uses people for his own personal gain, breaks their hearts, and stomps it to the fucking ground...
But at the same time he's so fucking lonely, so depressed, so desperate for a place to belong that he unknowingly makes his own eclectic family. His natural born sense of charisma, and his ability to persevere over the maelstrom of bullshit that is the systematic hierarchal structure that oppresses his kind, are one of the reasons people are so drawn to him.
Blitz is drenched in so much self-hatred that he's blind to the very good he brings to the people in his life, and I love it so much.
And when you see him grow and learn that even a piece of shit like him is worthy of love...
It's so fucking euphoric.
You're just so happy for him...
My favorite part about Blitz is the fact that he is a fuck-up. You can't justify all the shit he does, but a key to understanding his character is knowing that the world made him that way.
He does the most realistically fucked up and depraved things, and you see him hurt people left and right, and you're just so sad and hurt because you know the good he's capable of.
And when you see him do good and be the very best version of himself, you can't help but proud of him, and cheer for him.
Blitz is just a little guy, just a silly little guy with a big heart. And I'm just so interested to see where his growth goes from here now that he's allowing himself to be loved and cared for.
And maybe... just maybe he could learn to see the good in himself too.
There was a stretch where it looked like social media and mass surveillance were going to put paid to the idea of costumed superheroes with secret identities, but at this point the classic "superhero who's an urban legend everywhere outside of their home city" trope is more plausible than ever.
Some asshole from Metropolis posting a thread on Lex (formerly Twitter) explaining why the latest grainy cell phone footage of Batman is obviously AI, seriously, can't you credulous morons see his cape moving against the wind at 0:37? Plus, AI never gets the butts right.

The gather to meet the youngling
Have y'all ever seen that video of elephants in a sanctuary absolutely booking it across the enclosure to meet the New Baby, because
over the last several months, we have been implementing a protocol to eliminate karybelle the sheltie’s barking surrounding her mealtimes. we have accomplished this by initially introducing an alternate activity during prep time (stuffed kong) and religiously giving her a time out gated in the yard if she stops that activity to bark, thus delaying her dinner until she’s quiet. this has been extremely successful; she’s gone from barking literally 100+ times during meal prep to barking 0 times, and only occasionally slips up. the behavior she has chosen to replace her meal-prep-screaming (after all, that energy has to go somewhere) is frantically - but silently - running circles around the coffee table to finally slam into a perfect down-stay as her bowl is set down.
this evening as the food was coming out, karybelle seamlessly slipped into her silent circling routine. except after a couple of reps, she abruptly changed course, yeeted herself out the dog door, barked once, and immediately jumped back in to resume her circling.
if that isn’t a demonstration of crystal clear understanding of criteria, i…don’t know what is lmao
literally the canine version of this
many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !
some of the plot resolutions in house were so fucking funny. like one episode a guy had seen 10000 different doctors to try and figure out why he was sick and when he came to house, house’s first question was “ok i think i recognize this, there’s this tropical disease that’s preeeeeetty common, have you ever been to the tropics?” and the guy said no and house was like “hm ok guess it’s not that, it must be something mysterious and obscure because this is the Mysterious And Obscure Ailment Show, i will keep digging” then 35 minutes later in the episode house is like “this really REALLY feels like it’s that relatively common disease i mentioned earlier, are you SURE you’ve never been to the tropics” and the patient is like omg NO why do doctors always harp on that I TOLD YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE TROPICS I HAVE NEVER BEEN SOUTH OF FLORIDA and house just stares at him before being like “FLORIDA IS IN THE FUCKING TROPICS” and the patient is like. oh.
this all happens while the patient is holding house and like some other people hostage and forcing house to treat him at gunpoint btw.
so many snow animals are just white puff with dot eyes. amazing design
I just love this genre
oh this was delightful
Don’t forget owls!
Sphere = the ideal shape for maximizing internal volume with minimum surface area, thus best shape for not lose heat. Sphere stay warm! Sticky outy bits get cold!!
Just in case you thought all unicorns did in winter was sit whimsically in the snow and frolic with woodland animals, let me assure you that most spend the majority of it complaining.
