"Did you get Moxxie to critique your smut again?" "Well, he called it derivative. But how could it be?" Aww, Mission Book Report was made due to Stolas being a writer on the side in episodes! Love the reminder. Plus Blitz knows about it, how cute! 😁 Stolas' face xD

“This character and dynamic reminds me of my abuser and that’s why I don’t like them” Valid I love you “This character and dynamic reminds me of my abuser and that’s why they’re objectively bad and everyone should hate them” Go to therapy

If I had a nickel for every time it happens, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. #hazbinhotel #helluvaboss #stolitz #radioapple

also can't help but feel FUCKING OMINOUS FORESHADOW because when Stolas and Blitz are REALLY getting at it and the anger and hurt moments flare up we see Lilith and Lucifer's murals hanging behind them respectively on opposite ends GUYS we are in for Lilith and Lucifer yelling argument in S3😭

And the thing is the shows never tries to sugarcoat the oppression inflicted by the ruling class either. The show not only says that this relationship doesn't reflect class dynamics in real life 1:1, but Stolas is actually an exception to the norm when it comes to how his class treats the poor.

Yeah this has been bothering me sm😭 The trope of the boss and their secretary is one of the most cliche hierarchical dynamics both in fiction and irl, yet people are ignoring it for some reason..?? That's why the others don't side with him in ep4

And also. Stolas is NOT RICH ANYMORE, so I don't get why so many people insist on analyzing his S3 actions as though Stolas still has power over him! He doesn't! The power imbalance is WAY in Blitz's favor right now!

It also really flattens Blitz's character, if you deny the ways he can and does harm other people. If it's bad for Blitz to treat Moxxie or Verosika like shit, it should be bad for him to do it to Stolas, otherwise it's just "most oppressed person is right" and that's so fucking boring.

This is especially frustrating to me because a large part of Blitzø season 2 arc is him coming to terms with the reality that Stolas is more than his title and power and does in fact have real emotions that can be hurt and taken advantage of.

So i think skyen’s perspective on real life class dynamics makes him unable to engage with Stolas perspective as something reflected in the text and instead he sees them as Stolas being a wholly unreliable narrator in this regard

We’re meant to understand how someone like him could miss the “red flags”, especially since it was Blitzø who instigated their sexual relationship. Does this mirror the way these dynamics would realistically play out in the real world? Absolute not. But it’s not supposed to.

For the same reason they have Stolas mirror these actions in the new pilot - as if to say Stolas has no experience and is following Blitzø lead. We’re meant to see Stolas as a lonely gullible and easily manipulated man.

the circus takes time to set up a dynamic that’s much more complicated than “wealthy person hoarding their power over a poor person”. There’s a reason why the show wants us to see that it’s Blitzø who chases a reluctant Stolas around his room and ties him up without a conversation.

The show is using wealthy/working class romance tropes to explore specific themes with Blitzø & Stolas, so while class dynamics are important to their relationship, they’re not going to perfectly mirror real life versions of these dynamics & shouldn’t be analyzed solely through that lens

Generally enjoy tbskyen analysis, but i do think he’s unwilling to engage with the fact Stolas’s emotions were taken advantage of because he projects real life class dynamics onto the show in a 1:1 way when that’s not what the show is going for.

Believe me I get hating the upper class, but if you watch this show with only that perspective, you’ll miss a lot of what the show is trying to say about these characters.

I made a thread that relates to this. I think people make the mistake of forgetting that the class dynamics between Blitzø and Stolas are fictionalized archetypes used to explore complex relationships and we shouldn’t analyze their relationship as a 1:1 depiction of real life class differences

People will justify singling them out because of the privilege they hold over their people and complain about the narrative not holding them accountable for it, especially Stolas. But they ONLY prioritize the class aspect, centering their character analysis on that at the expense of all the others.

or maybe they can, extremely selectively. i mean, they'll insist the gay socially isolated owl is the oppressor because of a misunderstanding that involved sex, or they'll insist the parent-pleasing princess with abandonment trauma is toxic and selfish bc of how her trauma manifests

I dont have the screenshot but the looks on the wait staff imps when Blitz called Vassago "sir" hurts me because Blitz was supposed to be their hero in sticking up for the lower class 😭 they probably felt betrayed 💔
