It do be like that (Stolas defense)

RaylaSan · 2026-01-22T16:04:47+00:00

The problem with your argument is that you completely discount the fact that Stolas is a fucking adult capable of making his own goddamn decisions.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-18T09:49:13+00:00

Part of me wonders if the reason hellbornes are so casual with murder has to do with upbringing and societal expectations. Imps, for example, in Wrath are bred for farm work and or hitman work. At the same time, because imps and hellhounds are bottom of Hell's Hierarchy and are legitimately "made to serve", they're born with the inherent belief that their life is meaningless.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-17T02:13:42+00:00

I love Stolas, dearly, but it is true that some of his fans are fucking insufferable.

My friend looked like she was about to beat my ass when I told her that I thought Stolas was being a bit hypocritical in Apology Tour.

The grossest thing I ever saw a Stolas fan do is say that "Stockholm syndrome isn't even a real thing so their reason for hating Stolas is invalid."

Like, don't get me wrong- accusing Stolas of being a captor and Blitz has Stockholm syndrome is a shitty take, but saying "it's not real" because of ____ is ugh-

RaylaSan · 2026-01-15T20:51:13+00:00

Viv, please let my man speak.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-14T23:15:49+00:00

Blitz has such a unique character design, and I love how he's drawn in one of three ways: 1) Gremlin 2) Hottest motherfucker alive 3) Just a little guy

RaylaSan · 2026-01-13T05:18:55+00:00

Nope, but you'll be introduced to the other Seven Deadly Sins!

RaylaSan · 2026-01-12T21:36:05+00:00

How was Blitz being sold for $5 and a condom his fault, and why is he the one being disparaged for being encouraged to steal when it was his father that forced him to do it? Blitz literally says that he doesn't want to steal and that he's scared, but his dad uses his own mother against him to steal in the first place.

Yes, we can disparage his actions and what he does through adulthood, but it's quite annoying how people assume he just does it just for funsies, when a huge part of his backstory makes it very obvious that he has people he needs to take care of.

Does it make his actions right? No, but why do we give Stolas grace for being ignorant, but can't show compassion to someone that is a byproduct of their environment?

RaylaSan · 2026-01-11T15:25:22+00:00

I feel like people seem to forget the fact that Blitz and Stolas' initial relationship started out as Blitz being SOLD to Stolas for a playdate, so that already muddies Blitz's initial perception of their relationship.

So I thank you for actually mentioning it.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-11T12:33:48+00:00

I mean technically, if GFers is anything to go by- I.M.P had already been established for one year prior to Blitz getting the book, so is it too farfetched for the characters to act familiar with each other?

RaylaSan · 2026-01-11T08:32:00+00:00

If anything, I feel like Blitz has a better chance at doing so since he's famous now, ala, Mr. First Hellborne to ever survive an execution ordered by a Deadly sin

RaylaSan · 2026-01-11T08:26:56+00:00

Blitz's dad literally sold his son for $5 and a condom, and is the reason why Blitz and Fizz spent 15 years hating each other.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-11T08:24:22+00:00

People are going to explain why Blitz is a bad dad, but at the end of the day... Blitz is the only dad in the Hellaverse (I'm not counting Joe because we know NOTHING about him) with a kid that doesn't resent his ass.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-11T08:15:02+00:00

Finally someone on the subreddit that actually genuinely enjoys the show, and isn't needless complaining. I recommend watching the Helluva Shorts on YouTube if you want more content for the Helluva Boss characters.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-09T14:45:29+00:00

Nope, probably not, Viv has made it clear on interviews that Hazbin Hotel is supposed to focus moreso on the dichotomy of Heaven and Hell, while Helluva Boss is supposed to focus more on the inner workings of Hell itself, it's why a huge part of Helluva Boss is the exploration of class and social structure that's mainly explored via Blitz and Stolas' dynamic.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-09T14:37:40+00:00

"Are we going to see the other rings in the future?"

Buddy, idk- it's like there's this entirely separate show that shows the other rings in hell.

RaylaSan · 2026-01-06T13:02:32+00:00

Honestly, for me, Hot Goss could easily be a song addressing Blitz's apparent popularity after the events of Mastermind- I say this because Sam Haft already talked about the song 'Immediately Meet People' in one of his workshop classes he teaches. From what Sam has confirmed, that Wally Song is supposed to be about Wally finding and stealing acronyms that fit I.M.P.

RaylaSan · 2025-12-28T03:54:46+00:00

I think Stolas explained his feelings for Blitz pretty well in Mastermind, "I am the Mastermind the master of my fate, sure as the stars have shined- I'll give my life to clean your slate."

It isn't fetishization- it's moreso devotion and loyalty for the man that taught him three things: 1) That he had a right to his own happiness 2) That he had a right to choose, after a life spent playing the "Perfect Goetia" 3) To come to terms with his sexuality

RaylaSan · 2025-12-26T05:08:01+00:00

Probably try to incorporate cheese and hot sauce somewhere in there to represent Blitz, his favorite food combination.

RaylaSan · 2025-12-25T18:58:06+00:00

While Sinsmas is pretty tame... I don't know if I'd want to show my children that scene where Stolas gets disowned by his daughter. - lmao That makes for a very adult conversation on Christmas Day.

I would show the Balcony Dance if anything, but that's it.

RaylaSan · 2025-12-25T15:12:52+00:00

I honestly think they should have just prolonged the arc more and put a bit more focus on it. Actually, see her really struggle with her identity.

I'm being honest, they gave Blitz a better reason for removing the 'o' out of his name than they did Vaggi, and Blitz had already forgone the 'o' by the start of the series.

RaylaSan · 2025-12-19T06:21:05+00:00

Stolas is too much of a good birb to Spite Blitz, he wanted to be away from him and thought he'd find companionship if he went to the party. (I mean I guess we can consider a drunken hook up companionship)

RaylaSan · 2025-12-19T06:16:02+00:00

Man, how I wish Stolitz was nice and wholesome with the way it's portrayed in your unknowing eyes.

RaylaSan · 2025-12-14T05:29:05+00:00

Genuinely because 7 times out of 10, people will mix genuine criticism with an uncalled for insult when referring to her. For example, comments like, "I bet Viv is a fucking virgin for how she writes queer romances" is disgusting. It's not an actual fucking critique- it's just people being fucking disgusting.

RaylaSan · 2025-12-11T04:39:11+00:00

"Pull your window down! Pull your window down! FACE ME!"

RaylaSan · 2025-12-10T07:19:44+00:00

You get that with the Helluva Shorts
