A lot of people say that bad communication ruins relationships, but more often than not, it's *comprehension.* Due to Blitzo's past with destroying his own relationships and his inferiority complex, his brain simply did not understand what Stolas was attempting to communicate to him. The words did not line up with the intention. This is not the first time this has happened. When he an Fizz were tied up together, Blitzo went through an entire list of the ways that Stolas has been attempting to get to know him on a personal level, and Fizz, who does not know their relationship from a hole in the ground immediately understood that Stolas wasn't playing coy and that it was Blitzo who couldn't comprehend the feelings being conveyed.

Right. I've seen so many people being critical of Stolas for not being more patient or reiterating that things were serious, when the real issue was that Blitz is refusing to listen.

@@Gaymerluv Blitz refusing to listen is kinda a natural reaction when spending years in a transactional relationship. It's like at work where your boss calls the employees a family but obviously doesn't really mean it. Imagine spending years at a job where that's the case, then your boss starts suddenly talking seriously about you all being a family. You'd obviously roll your eyes and just think they're doing the whole cheesy crap.

​​@@TheStormyClouds The only thing different here was that blitz-stolas never truly HAD a boss-employee relationship. That's why their relationship is unhealthy and complicated right now. Because they BOTH blurred the boundaries of their transactional benefactor and benefactee thing they have. Stolas trying to get to know him outside of sex should've been AT LEAST enough of a hint, even if it's obviously not complete clarity that he cares for blitz. Its blitz's OWN denial that had him put on the spot and in complete shock when stolas verbalised his feelings

@TheStormyClouds

Ай бұрын

@@SS-ui7by The times Stolas tried to get to know him outside of it were rare and often stained by other harsh feelings. Like when he offered to talk and watch a movie, Blitzo instantly shrugged it off understandably because Stolas was openly ashamed of their relationship, then he was shoved into the dirt by two very close past relationships. Blitz and Stolas very much had a boss employee relationship due to Stolas lording the book over his head previously. He had literally all the power in the relationship and was outright told their deal for the book. You can't go through years of transactional things then suddenly expect someone to know it's real the 1% of the time it is. You have to tell them, make it very clear it's real, and then give them time to process it.

Worth to mention. In the intro song you see that Stolas is out of his antidepressant pills. So he is emotionally unstable today as well, cannot be patient or not take face value what he hears. Maybe it could go differently if he had his daily meds. Depression is horrible.

Ultimately this needed to happen. Blitzo and Stolas' deal was always exploitative and unhealthy on both ends. Blitzo is a self-destructive mess who pushes everyone away and demolishes his own relationships because of his insecurities and implusively lashing out, but the harshest part is that he really isn't even completely wrong even if he's clearly not in the right either. As we saw throughout season 1, Stolas was constantly only thinking and talking about sex with him and ignoring Blitzo when he showed he was uninterested or uncomfortable with the flirting and Stolas really was coercing him into a largely transactional deal at first as seen in the first episode. Their relationship was inherently unhealthy because of the severe imbalance of power and the fact that even though on some level Blitzo does like Stolas he was being made to feel trapped and unable to have his own boundaries because losing Stolas' favor would mean the destruction of his business and livelihood. Even if it wasn't what Stolas intended to do, it's still what happened because Stolas was overcompensating hard for having gone so long starved for affection and didn't realize how complicated the situation and feelings really were for Blitzo soon enough Not to say that Blitzo hasn't hurt Stolas and been toxic himself. They both ended up hurting each other because they don't know how to have a really healthy relationship yet.

I mean blitz used him to steal the book gave him sex out of pity then they go through this whole thing in the beginging due to bad communication but also due to blitz's major insecurities since I'm a be real yes the rich of hell suck tho the main person who saw him as expendable was his dad who "sold him" for a condom besides this we get no evidence of the rich f*cking with him to warent this generalised hatred of them especially since in hell it'd make more sense for it to be a species thing even tho the show just can't consistantly show fixxed class systems then you have the fact Fizzoroli , blitz, crimson hell even wachford are shown to be successful well crimsons was since we're told he's running out of money even tho we never really see much of an effect he has enough to employ tons of sharks , striker who has been hired by aristcrats so blitz lines come off way more self hating than taking from any actual experience it's like how he got pissed at mammon for treating fizz how blitz treats moxie everyday it's lacks self awareness but like with that episode I don't think they'l adress it

True.. "Once a month on the full moon, you return the book to me. Followed by a night of ✨passionate fornication✨~! And you get to keep it all the rest of the time."

Luna went human form cause her physique is smaller, when she got shot in the arm, she transformed so her entire body is covered by the pillar.

Anyone else thing Collin has a chance to get back into Heaven? Of of the 3 Cherub’s Collin is most responsible and not chaotic one for the other 2’s plans, Hell he’s even less and aggressive and doesn’t swear like the others, worse he’s ever said is “Oh my god” once

I knew that with Blitzo’s fear of abandonment it would probably end that way, but it still hurts.

luna turned human because she's smaller than since the column she was hiding behind started to crumble

30:04 The reason loona turned to her human form was to avoid being hit by more bullets because her human form she's smaller and thinner than her hellhound form. A great tactic by using her human form to her advantage. And even though she got shot in the shoulder she quickly shook off the pain like it was nothing. And during the fight she not only saved Blitz from being killed but she also saved Moxxie and Millies lives too.

This was so good the ending hurt me but I understand both points of views 😭 and what’s more sad is that they were under the same chandelier when there were kids, stolas hiding himself in his portraits just like blitz does with his and lastly that blitz was gonna apologize at the end which is lending into apology tour. I enjoyed the fight and we got to see more of loona.

I am glad the emotions are out there at least, now I hope Blitzo will use Loona and Fizz, to contact Octavia and Asmodeus, to slowly get in contact with Stolas again!

They already dropped the release dates in the trailer for second half of season 2, in case you're interested

Humans attacking Hell instead of the other way around would be awesome!

Luna changing form been strategic. She got shot and chose smaller form to have more cover.

You can tell Blitz does truly care about Stolas… that last scene proves it, if he didn’t he would just take the crystal and leave. Instead when Stolas gives it to him he said he could do better, implying he did not want to break the deal with Stolas even though he would have a free ride to the human world without being tied to Stolas… this episode breaks my heart, like you Stolas is my favorite character and I can unfortunately relate to him way too much from a relationship stand point. I hope he gets his happy ending, he deserves it more than most

it was confirmed that we will get an episode this month, one in october, one in november and one in december

The cherubs trying to convince Cletus their helping people is a nice tie in to Hazbin Hotels. “After that performance he’s *sure* to get into heaven” Showcasing that they aren’t really certain, much like how all the angels don’t know what truely gets people into heaven.

Pretty sure Luna turned into her human form because it was smaller and easier to avoid being hit in.

Loona going into her human form after getting shot was so she could become smaller and harder to hit again

I really like the cherub vs imp fight here showing a mini demon and angel fight showing how they are nothing comapred to exterminators.

We actually have an official release schedule for the rest of the season! ep 9 - June ep 10 - October ep 11 - November ep 12 - December

I don’t think the scene could have been any longer. I’m kind of impressed they maintained the miscommunication for as long as they did.

that last scene in the echoey room brings a tear to my eye. the fact that stolas loved blitzo so much yet blitzo thought he was just being used and completely unloved just hit different

(13:29) You know, Shark. I’m starting to think that since Vivzie and her team had plenty to work with for Hazbin regarding its musical format, one can say they’ve incorporated that said format to help kick off the second half of Helluva Boss’ season 2. (23:36) Hey, look! A Pokédex! (28:28) This happens to be Loona’s first formal meeting with the Cherubs since she wasn’t there when IMP had to take them on previously.

5:38. Can I just say how GORGEOUS that shot was.

Well this means I’ve now had one of the best weekends ever

Loona's human form is smaller, so she used it to hide behind the pillar better after taking a hit.

Let's fucking go! I was so excited to see your reaction. The episode genuinely hurt me.

I honestly feel for both of them, because this is a failure in communication on both their parts. Both with Blitz misunderstanding Stolas's intentions and lashing out at him and accusing him of doing this all on purpose, assuming the worst of him. And with Stolas knowing that Blitz is very defensive with his feelings, but still dumping this shift in their dynamic on him all at once with little explanation and then taking Blitz's immediate knee-jerk reaction as his definitive answer and not giving him time to process. Like, Blitz's reaction to perceived rejection is to joke it off or get angry. While Stolas's reaction to perceived rejection is to immediately accept it and detatch at the first sign that he's unwanted. Even if neither of them never intended to reject the other.

Loona went into her human form because it's smaller than her normal form, making it easier to hide behind the pillar

I'm excited for the growth this episode will have on the characters later

The end of the trailer for the second part of season 2 tells us approximately when each of the next episodes are going to drop. Apology Tour will be some time this month (probably toward the end), then we'll have a three month break until October, when Ghostfuckers drops, Mastermind in November, then Sinsmas in December.

God I need Sallie-may on every level

I’ve been expecting this to happen, Shark! This reaction of yours to the latest Helluva Boss is more troubling than ever! The Cherubs teaming up with the DHORK agents is a disastrous concoction, but Stolas parting ways with Blitz? Oh, man. What next?

Yay, I was hoping you'd watch the short in this as well. So glad you did this reaction so soon after it releasing, the anticipation was killing me!

Not everything. The deal Stolas set up between the two of them has been acknowledged to be wrong, and it's become clear that Stolas now understands this, considering that he has not asked Blitzo to abide by the terms of agree to for a couple of months at this point. Stolas gave Blitzo the Asmodean Crystal completely free of charge, with no strings attached. He didn't have to do that. But because Blitzo is dangerously inside his own head, he still thinks there is some angle being played due his self loathing.

Nah, they’re both in the wrong. Both of them have _very_ understandable and valid reasons for why they behaved in the way they did, but that doesn’t mean their actions/words were _right._ Ultimately, this entire disaster was caused by _both_ of them failing to communicate properly. Keep in mind, we’re shown at the start of the episode that Stolas was out of his antidepressants, meaning he was even _more_ emotionally fragile/unstable than he normally is (I’ve been there, it’s a TERRIBLE experience). And he was already anxious as hell about the situation to begin with. We’re also flat out _told_ that Stolas does NOT have good self esteem _(“I’ll believe _*_him_*_ and not _*_the voice that says I’m not enough”)_* just like Blitzø. At the end of the day, the biggest ways they both contributed to this mess can be boiled down to this: - Blitzø contributed by making Stolas think he was only ever with him for the book, and then by getting defensive and lashing out at Stolas. - Stolas contributed by taking Blitzo’s first response at face value, and not giving him time to process this or explain himself after he’d lashed out.
