Thanks so much Georgina. My Step-Dad was raised by Narcissists. My estranged Biological Father was a Narcissist whom lost his privilege in raising me after a Domestic-V Incident when I was 2. Is there anyway to help Parents who are victims of Narcissism; maybe through an Octavia episode? :) Thanks so much for all you do. :)

i found that video really hard to watch because in too much of it make me remember on how i was and still is. But thanks you and I'm getting my weekly psychotherapy so getting better.

Blitzo next! Also can we talk about how great it is that you got over 4 thousands likes and not a single dislike?

Fun fact: the white splotches on imps are scars

I sincerely enjoy my therapy sessions with you!

Forced to marry a narcissist just for political things yeah I definitely feel bad for Stolas that the only joy he has in life is Octavia and Blitzø

To be fair, it's pretty common to marry a narcissist when you're raised by one

​@@MonsterPrincessLala and even more common for arranged marriages in rich and powerful families like Stolas'.

Surrounded by narcissists

We all do, baby. ):

Aww I bet he's a cutie

Good.

Yes, beautiful. Now all we need is a crown and a red ginger about 3 years younger andd call him blitzo or for speed Blitz

HAHAHAHDHDJIS THATS SO CUTE WHA

I’m stealing your idea

Well that's not exactly self harm because self harm is physical. It would moreso be called self hatred or low self esteem

I’m excited for her to go over the whole IMP company!

He also risks himself out of all the photos he has in his house,when Loona brings him home from Beelzebub's party you can see he just risked himself of all the photos,this is so sad man.

Sooo...me?

i would absolutely love to see that video

When you have parents with terrible traits it usually goes two ways I noticed. Either the people become like their parents, or they want to be everything their parents weren't. Good to see Stolas is the latter.

Yep. That's how it goes. I always remember how my dad's behavior hurt me and vow "I will NOT be like him" when I do. And I'm not even married! I'm not becoming a father any time soon.

@@MediadosThe latter thing could also be to a detrimental level. If you were raised by excessively protective and strict parents, for example, and you want to be a parent completely opposite to that, you might end up with giving your kid(s) _too much_ freedom. It’s a balance.

Why we love DaddyHootHoot so much!

@@MediadosThere is a third way. You realize how terrible your parents were, how ruined as a person you are, & choose never to have children, thus for your part, taking the responsibility of ending the cursed abuse. That was my decision.

There's enough people with issues in this show a therapist would get pushed up to Stolas' tax bracket.

​@@darkvizardking69lets be real, they'd be Mammon's Tax Bracket

@@tscaglione131 honestly yeah, you're right about that lol

I’d be friends with him

Agreed. Stolas is a goofy guy, but he's hurting. Blitz is the same with that ending where he goes home and cries being the most damning. I kinda sympathize with him about that feeling of isolation. It's hard to realize, trying to do better myself, that there are people around you that do care. It's a dark, lonely road.

Same. I had Blitzo's abuse and Stolis' neglect.

Best comment 😂

Ai, why won't you *_love_* me, distant father?? 😭

​@@emilyrln too funny, too relatable💀💀

😮 the range on that man.

Woah I didn't know at all That's seriously impressive

Great actor

I could hear a bit of Jafar in Paimon but I didn't recognize him as Cash Buckso. Great range.

I'm sorry you had to experience that.

thats rough buddy

You know that reminds me of this one Christmas where my parents bought me the exact same video game they got me last year. However, I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut and just smile and say thank you.

Mother(bleep)-er. ):

Yeah like children would remember that kind of detail, seems like a blind thing for your parents to consider. :/

It's Octavia lol

@@zeldaprincessgirl100 Whoops

You might make the same mistake, because people aren’t perfect. But recognizing, apologizing, and fixing the behavior makes all the difference.

Yeah, but his early care for Octavia makes me lean toward a mistake commonly made even by the most loving parents. She admitted that she did love to go there as a child, but she's in that teen angst changing where she wants to separate herself from childhood and the vision she had of their "happy" family. She's raised by a narcissist, too. Stella may care for her but also not at the expense of her own comfort, also uses her to get back at Stolas.

@@michellewest4796 Exactly what i've been saying. Like people were saying Stolas is a bad parent for not realizing she didn't like it when for all he knew, she was just being an angtsy, sarcastic teen, not that she really didn't want to go.

I laughed so bad at that but I know my mother is a lot like that. She can't stand kids crying. She also gets mad at anyone displaying any emotion that isn't happy or content

@@wildfyah yikes.

@@wildfyah When I was very young once, my father said something that hurt my feelings, so I started crying. He didn't try to comfort me, just ignored it; so I kept crying. Finally, when he got tired of hearing it, he dragged me into the backyard, wrestled my shirt off to "get all the anger out" (because apparently he can't tell sadness from anger), then held me upside-down by my ankles over the pool until I was too scared to keep crying. When he put me right-side up again, he asked why I was crying, and I told him what he'd said had hurt my feelings; to which he responded, "No one can hurt your feelings unless you let them," and that was it. No responsibility, no comfort, no empathy... just blamed me for being a sad child and physically assaulted me so I'd shut up and stop annoying him. It's the only time he ever put his hands on me, and it was like 25 years ago, but I can never forget that. The whole time, my stepmom stood to the side telling him "this isn't the right way to handle this", but did nothing more to try to stop him.

Well, I think in the case of Stolas taking Octavia to Loo Loo Land that wasn't so much Stolas didn't care about Octavia's feelings as it was Stolas having trouble accepting his daughter's growing up. There are some parents, like Paimon, who just can't wait for their children to be adults and taking care of themselves, but then there are some parents like Stolas who never want their kids to grow up and just want to read them bedtime stories and tie their shoes for them forever.

Octavia admits that she used to love going there as a child. Young Stolas appears to have never liked the circus. Probably overstimulated and uncomfortable. He made a mistake but it wasn't from not caring what she wants, it's from trying to turn back time a little, to what used to make her smile.

I want to give you hugs and tell you you're not taking up too much space. And stop saying sorry. (I have a friend who constantly apologises for everything. I tell her to stop and she apologises again, it's funny even though I'm trying to reassure her.)

So is Fizz & Blitz

Same here! Both my parents were narcissistic.

Same ..ı kin him so bad :')

I’ve heard it before that, we become the person we wish would have saved us.

Real

Sameee, I'm more like Stolas is so me

Blitzo was the name he used in the circus. After he left, he changed it to Blitzø. You can see posters on the wall in various places of him as a circus performer and the "o" in the posters is slashed out in marker to be a ø. That's why he had such an emotional reaction when Stolas mentioned the "o"

Probably explains Stolas' attraction to him: he's one of the only people in his life that _isn't_ a raging narcissist.

@@Thoralmir Right, he’s *just* raging 😅

Haaaa, she’s gonna have to bleep so much of what adult Stolas says and does, more than is already bleeped out! It’s gonna be great.

What's funny, I've seen in other places that owls/birds imprint on the first thing they see as parental/affectionate figure. Since Stolas is basically raised by imp servants, it's no shock his first true friend - and the person he wants the most as a partner - is an imp.

Maybe a good discussion to be had I his daughters video of there is one

I hope things will work out, but there are going to be challenges for them to face.

i know he is such a tragic tale but also so caring at the same time

@@silly_sparklewhat?

Same. I'm away from them now and no longer feel bound to them, just trying to heal the pathetic person they made me

Same

As someone with a narcissistic father, i also let these things slip.

I would be SHOCKED if she managed to get through the show without having thoughts on Blitzo

@@FireheadLazzo fair enough lol

hi bill

@@daisyphinney1038 yello

@@billcipher1523 the universe is a hologram, buy gold

Ironically yes

Yeah, I think we've been conditioned as a society to believe that money will solve all our problems. I catch myself thinking that sometimes. If I had more money, I could make this problem go away, and that problem, and that one! I tend to forget there's problems people with money have.

The luna costume interpretation should be ... interesting.

@@anticarrrot I want you to picture that moment where the whole IMP crew is looking right at the camera

Same

I think he was only trying to shut him up

​@@skarlar-rx7rj Yeah, he was trying to make him shut up. Why he's also asking for Blitz, it's just to shut up his child not that he actually cares.

Paimon is that type of parent that spoils their children rotten just to bribe them off.

That's why he's so good at daddy'ing 😂

Because he likes the idea that he is the best at Daddying, not because he actually wants Stolas to be happy.

I wonder if Blitz would fall into the category of borderline personality disorder. Especially since those who deal with BPD can be self destructive towards themselves and others

Having a mom like Stella would cause mommy issues

@@PeachBoba1523 True. We just haven't gotten to see those issues with Octavia yet. Both episodes with her in them focused on her relationship with her dad.

Octavia definitely has mommy issues, it’s just we haven’t seen Stella and Octavia interact on screen yet

​@@ohdahngboi_2237 from cues, stella seems disinterested and uses her as a weapon in the divorce. she doesn't really seem to care about octavia, so it seems that she is neglectful at best, and emotionally abusive at worst.

Don't worry, we'll probably get plenty of that in Hazbin Hotel season 2

thank you, my friend I'm having kind of a bad time right now, I needed these words

@@Angelica-sq9lh so glad to help in any way

They tend to be extremely calm when they feel in control, IME. The nastier side comes out when they feel threatened

@@GavinBisesi when it does, it really does.

It’s gentle cruelty

​@@GavinBisesi ACCURATE

To the narcissist you are either an accessory or an obstacle to the narcissist's greatness.

Ah… that sucks man. You alright now at least-?

It’s really admirable that you’re that self aware of your flaws. So many parents don’t have that ability and end up hurting their kids.
