“Subscribe if these videos have been depressing lately.” This went from a funny haha cartoon channel to a channel about mental health. So to answer your question… Yes, I’m subscribed.

This is why that incubus dude hitting on Stolas was such a big deal for him, because he’d never had anyone just genuinely be interested in him that way

I love dark family history. I don't talk to my parents.

I just now realised what Stolas' remark meant when they were kids. Blitz introduced a game he never knew before and Stolas excitedly asked if it were an imp's game because at that age he didn't know anything about them, but still felt like he was closer to them than he was to his own family. (Also, I am still convinced their last conversation as kids was a spoiler and that Stolas will end up losing his title and working for Blitz) Love your videos ❤😂

People did the math and found that Stolas was in his late teens to early twenties when Octavia was conceived. Just the possibility that Stolas was forced to be a teenage father makes me uncomfortable.

I still can't believe Stolas went from the planned main antagonist to the main love interest and most delevoped character by far. I like that Blitz and Stolas are so similar that they both want genuily to be loved but either never had people who seemed to care for them (looking to their fathers) and they there lonely in the past. Stolas being married to Stella and trying to make that work stopped him from meeting other people. They also both care about their daughters the most. If they rebuild their relationship, it would be a good if they bond other this similarities and strengthen their relationship.

I still remember the comment I placed on a poll on this channel talking about Octavia's role. Because of the situation with Stolitz, Octavia has been horribly effected by it and after the episode "The Circus" we see that Octavia is basically insurance for the Goetia family as her birth was ordered by Paimon. In hindsight, neither parent wanted to have a child, sure Stolas loves her now, but given his actions I'd say that's debatable as he always puts Blitzo first. As I said in comment on the poll, I'd say Octavia is going to snap at this point, in the trailer we literally hear her saying "You never loved mother and you don't love me, you love him!" that tells me Octavia is finally going to put her foot down, tell Stolas off, and rebel in her own way. In all episodes with Octavia, it's the same plot line: We get a flashback with Stolas and Octavia, Stolas ignores her, Octavia runs away, and the 2 make up. It's going to get old and I'd imagine her patience wearing thin. Plus the show keeps TELLING us that Stolas is a good dad, yet in what we are SHOWN, it says otherwise, remember, actions speak louder then words.

When you think about it how he build his adult life and used pills and alcohol as a way to cope and deal with his issues even if it meant it would hurt him more later on he’d still continue. And I remember it being mentioned that the voice actor Bryce say he was ashamed of Stolas addictions during a convention. Looking back I can’t imagine how much stolas truly endured with the people that were in his life and no one to care or talk to him so that he could let it all out. Just enduring and bottling it up which could also explain him not wanting to cry in front of people😔

And to think the Stolas heartache isn’t even over this season because we still have to deal with more of the fallout with Octavia and the fact Stolas has both been shielding her from the truth and that he’s been unintentionally hurting her when stuck in his own head.🥺🥺🥺

Even Stolas, who is a high ranking demon and one of the most powerful characters in Helluva Boss can suffer the trauma as well especially because of Paimon being pretty neglectful and Stella being an abusive wife to Stolas. All he wanted was someone to actually love and care for him. He's still a good father to Octavia though.🥺💕

Basically Stolas wants to be someone’s moxxie/ Millie. 💔🥺

If only Stolas knew he had millions of humans who want to give him a hug. lol

both have their issues but man do i somewhat relate with Stolas's reaction to pull away. Also been without a lick of romance for the 28 years ive been alive, not entirely sure id believe it being possible if it came up.. and to still put your neck out after all that? Was a brave move.

I agree that Hell is the worst place to live, but only for the souls of the mortals that end up there. For hellborn demons life in Hell is not so different than humans' lives on Earth.

Blitz and Stolas both want the same thing. They don't want to be alone. They've both said it themselves.

that's the thing with cool characters,they steal the entire show,alastor stole the show in hazbin hotel and stolas stole the show in helluvab boss,love it XD

Bro Stolas is just as much under the impression that no one could love him as Blitzø, just for slightly different reasons. And they both internally hope they won't die alone 😭

I can't help but wonder: how did Verosika know that Stolas and Blitzø broke up? Stolas surely didn't make it a big deal in public.

There is more blame in being incapable of expressing love than in desperately wanting to be loved.

You said that Stolas was raised in isolation is really sad. He never got a chance to have a normal childhood. Besides Blitz, he never got any friends his age. He never even hang out with other Goetia children. Paimon was useless father.

Finally, Some Stolas appreciation. I feel like fans assume the worst of him just because is nobility. As if he chose to. He would switch places with Blitzo any day.

Stolas is this powerful man from Hell. He had it all his whole life…but he didn’t have something he craved. He wanted friends, companions, a lover, true love. His lonely...

To Blitz's credit, Stolas did act very, very sexually in most of their interactions during season 1, so of course Blitz saw nothing but a horny rich guy. It's a well established fact that Stolas is painfully unaware that he is way more powerful and higher ranking than Blitzo, and his way of affection was... well... a bit belittling? Condenscending? He didn't even tell Blitz what to expect from the talk and did not even know what he was expecting himself. So Stolas has a lot of responsibility in this relationship.

Stolas is the best. I don’t like how people claim that he has it easy. Like no gotcha lol.

Stolas ''i just want someone to care i want someone to want me''.

Funny how the fanbase has how split themselves in the middle to be ether “Team Blitzo,” or “Team Stolas.” Even the people saying there both at fault will still lean to ether one or the other.

I think you broke me. You made a video that perfectly broke me. I'm speechless how well this video perfectly broke down characters in a perfect way. 👌 This is your best; best work, best video, and best approach. 🎉 Great work. 👍

This is actually also part of what Marx wrote about actually, that the wealthy suffer too in Hierarchal systems. Confined to specific roles in life and groomed into positions they don't want to be in, while being isolated from forming healthy human connections with those around them. The conclusion being that while the wealthy of course are greedy and feed off lower classes, they're ultimately just taught to do that and are stuck in the very same system the rest of us are stuck in. I'm kinda happy that Viv has taken this more nuanced approach to the royalty of Hell. It's not necessarily the royalty themselves that are the core problem of Hell, it's the concept of Royalty itself that's hurting everyone, including a Prince like Stolas. People like Paimon, Andrealphus, or Mammon wouldn't exist if they weren't given the incentive to do the things they do.

Out of everything that has happened throughout these videos, let's not forget about that one scene in the trailer where blitz is protecting stolas in some way

Hell in helluva boss and hazbin hotel really emphasize the idea that "Hell is other people" There's nothing specific about hell itself that makes existance suck to be there, it's only other people who do.

It's good to look at both perspectives of these people because it gives a better idea of why these things happen to them. I don't understand why people just dislike helluva boss when it's super important to us people to learn many things. You did an amazing job at this review, good work ❤

You touched on the fact that the Hell setting is just a means for which Viv can work out specific ideas that we experience as humans. And thats the thing. The effects we see that Blitz has had on all his Exes indicates that somewhat normal relationships are the expected even in Hell. That these other demons were still reeling after all this time just indicates that its not just being in Hell that lead to Stolas and Blitz being in the condition they are. Both are the result of very specific family conditions. One of excess and one of desperation. The excess of power lead Stolas' family to be very controlling as a means to maintaining that power. This is the problem of power. You do not get to maintain that power without being controlled by the power. And conversely the desperation of poverty and need can drive a family to horrible actions in order to survive. Viv in both Helluva and Hazbin is exploring the extremes that various settings can apply to the human condition. Which is why in neither show do they actually delve into matters of sin in depth or punishment. Instead in Hazbin we see the actions that lead to Sir Pentious eventually being "redeemed" were essentially a form of therapy treating his Social Anxiety Disorder, Trust Issues, and lack of Socialization Skills. In both series the characters problems are mental health issues. With some characters being the result of environmental issues with others likely being neurological issues. And then Viv takes all these broken characters and stirs them into the pit and plays out how they will interact and hopefully help each other through.

Well this video didn't take long. On another note, where is Paimon? You'd think his divorce from Stella would warrant a visit.

‘heart breaking’ *proceeds to show a shot of the heart on blitz’s cake*

Personally, this is the episode where Stolas stopped feeling like a fictional character and he got just a bit too real and too relatable for my emotions.

I have a concern to address here: How will the current state of the relationship between Blitz and Stolas impacted Octavia and Loona now? From the look of it, Octavia looked at Loona like a big sister she always needed and wanted but now that the relationship between their fathers a mess? I don't know that Octavia will even wanted to talk to Loona at this point or not. Sure, she most likely does not blame her but if Loona said what Octavia clearly didn't want or like to hear at the moment due to bow much in pain she is emotionally and mentally, it could make things worse for both of them.

I just realized something the relationship blitz and stolas has with each other is similar to the relationship they have with their fathers blitz only gave stolas any attention when he was obligated to just like paimon and cash buckzo made his love transactional just like stolas did with the book

7:30 wasnt expecting to feel called out like this 😂

Fun little detail: both Blitz and Stolas's fathers were voiced by Jonathan Freeman, Jafar himself

yes so true tbh people often forget that Stolas was starved of love from anyone and all he wanted was to know basically receive some sign that Blitz did care and truly loved him only for that to be turned down in full moon.(edit: thanks so much for these likes :))

If I can offer a less depressing video option maybe you should talk about how M&M met and fell in love?

Something tells me that imp who stolas was kissing at that party he is going to leave him behind 😭

I love the fact that we had this episode, cause if you notice his very more dramatic than usual. And is necessary we have this kind of episode, it helps with story telling, and character development, like what happen here, with characters like Blitz, having showing us a new layer, of his own personallity and depth, one we havent explored before, others like Verosika, that we havent known basically nothing at all, or even Stolas, now really knowing what he craves of Blitz, in the case more clearly than before. Overall was one of the best episodes of the 2nd season (in my opinion of course) TY I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

It will be cool to see Paimon back at the court of Goetia and the Sins. It is also interesting to know how he will treat Stolas with his situation: will Paimon be disappointed and despise his son, or will he be neutral towards him? I wonder if Vivienne will leave it as canon that Paimon is one of Lucifer's close servants? If this is in the series, I think he is currently living in the Ring of Pride. And also, I wonder which of the demons of the Lesser Key of Solomon could be his children, besides Stolas? He took on several guises before becoming an owl (i.e. his main appearance here may remain canon - a man with a woman's face on a camel). This means that he conceived other children in other forms: Dragon - Bune or Astaroth Goat, elephant and flying eye - unknown (since there are no demons with such appearance in Goetia). The eye can be a Sallos (it is sometimes depicted as a "floating head" Dog/Wolf - Naberius, Glasea-Labolas, Marchosias or Aamon (who is in Charlie's contacts) Bird - Vassago (it would be funny if he and Stolas are brothers), Aamon, Ipos, Naberius, Halfas, Malphas, Raum (which lit up in the trailer), Chax, Kamio, Murmur or Andras

During the full moon episode the moment when I heard Stolas said this to him goodbye blitz I was afraid to say it the ship has sailed but we’ll see if it’s not over between them

I've been thinking about an alternative scenario: what if Blitz, instead of accidentally setting the circus on fire, runs away instead? Immagine it like this: when Cash gives Fizz the card, Blitzo stays frozen in delusion with one hand holding the flower and letter and the other holding the marquee open. Then the cake guy passes throught it saying "Thanks pal" but not with very much care; that wakes Blitzo from his trance and, since the way he said it only worsened his emotional state, decides to step away still carring the letter and flower. However, on his way, he runs into other circus perfomers heading his way which involuntarly bumbs into him but not caring very much about it; when the last also involuntarly does that, Blitzo loses the balance and falls to the ground. He stay like that for a while, tears coming down his cheeks, until another perfomer comes by him and asks "You ok?"; and when Blitzo says "Yes" while sobbing a bit, the performer makes his way to the tent where the party is taking place. Blitzo, after getting up, realizes that if he stays here, no one will actually pay attention to him epxect his mother, twin and bff/crush plus, motivated by the fact that he doesn't fit in the circus as a perfomer, he hates taking advantage of Barbie and Fizz to save his numbers, the fact that his crush might see him more like a brother than a live interest the fear to hurt in anyway the three persons he loves the most, he decides to ran away. After the party is over, he waits for everyone to go to sleep and when they do, he pacs all of his things, goes to his mother's, twin's and crush's room, giving them a kiss on the forehead but making sure he doesn't wake them up, the he leaves a note saying "I can't do this anymore, I feel like no one in here. You're all better of without me" written in his style with a caricature of his face with eyes closed, frown and teary and leaves the circus holding in a trasparent bag with zip the letter and flower meant for Fizz. That's right: no fire, Blitz and Fizz don't get their burnmarks and he doesn't loose his horns and limbs and Tilla doesn't die. I wanted to ask because I was thinking of writing a fanfic on the helluverse centered around Blitz and his lying issue (if you think about it, he hasn't told his daughter, employees, bed friend and ex girlfirend about the fire at the circus) inspired by Joker's Arthur Fleck's story. Since you seem like someone who really catched up both the lore and the character's arcs, I thought about asking you about this hypotetical scenario: if it had happened, what would Tilla's, Barbie's and Fizz's roles in the story be? Would Blitz still work for and enter a relationship with Verosika? How about M n M, Loona and I.M.P? Will it still happen? I'd like to hear anwsers from someone like you in the community since some of your videos like the one where you talk about how for many in Hell the only way to be happy is to take advantage of others either by lying or enslaving them, inspired me. I'll wait any personal awnsers.

It’s illegal to be this early

1. As far as I can tell, Paimon seems to only get involved so long as his duties as a goitia require him to. Emotional support isn't part of his duties. 2. I need to see the interaction between Stella and Octavia because Stella is an abusive person. I can only imagine her spending hours ranting to Via about Stolas being useless and unloving.

idk it kinda put it in perspective on how much more work stolas has to put into improving himself before being with blitz when blitz said,“why would you even want to be with me” stolas response wasn’t like asmodeous when fizz pulled out his mangled horns and he named everything he loved about him, it was more self centered “I don’t wanna be alone” “I want to feel wanted by someone” I want to be someone’s someone” and don’t get me wrong that’s an okay outlook to have but that just isn’t healthy and it would never ever last in the long run

Stolas and Blitz are like trumatised teenagers in adult bodies. (Not an insult.)

5:13 FACT!!!!! Just find that love ( if that's what u want) at ur own pace. =)

Ya want a fun topic? Here's one I came across recently: The Theory that Loona is an abandoned daughter of Paimon. Evidence put forth is the similarities between Loona and Stolas's magic, that One of Paimon's forms utilizes Canines, and that if true it'd be a MLP reference to Princess Luna.

6:02 Shhhhhhh ush ush ush. Shush. I don't wanna be called out like this.

I've been wondering, do helluva boss, and hazbin hotel take place at the same time? I mean, I know they're in the same universe, but at what time? In my eyes, it either takes place, during, or after hazbin hotel! I guess we'll find out when we watch sinsmas! 😅

the funny thing is it's so complicated, yet it seemed like a shared experience. for me personally, I have great parents and a great home. I have a relationship with my mom that a lot of people my age, teens don't have. yet I'm still touch and attention-starved person who will take anything I'm given. it's funny how different we all are yet how similar our experiences can. that's why Stolas is so popular, he's relatable to people like me. we're all toxic sad people who just want someone to love us. well darn this turned into a mini-vent 😐

My question is... WHERE IS OCTAVIA??? Haven't seen her in a whiiiiiile

My poor baby Stolas 🥺 He’s such a gentle soul in such a bad situation. He has so much power, yet he is ultimately powerless in his life…

I feel like Stolas is being set up for a massive meltdown at the end of this season leaving us with a cliff hanger for season 3

5:47 FACTS. people don't realize how the way you experience life growing up will change how you see life later as a whole. Stolas was f*cked with social relationships sense the beginning even worse then Blitzø because at least Blitzø had friends growing up, Fizz, Barbie- just Other people in his life. He had SO many relationships (as seen by his ex's) But in Stolas's case he learned about relationships through Soap Opera's on TV.... so yeah 😐

I bet blitz will win over stolas back before the end of this year.

Take that depression

So i kin Stolas!? Now i love him even more.

Personally I do love how they explored how Blitzo pushes away people who try to love him but I kinda wish that they had addressed the fact that Stolas isn't exactly an angel in this situation either seeing as how their relationship started due to the fact that he used his portal to the human world as leverage to force Blizto into his life.

It's hell man, what doesn't ruin people in Hell

Thank you for this video. I have only recently started watching Helluva boss and I don't recognize all the layers of the characters yet.

Possible Hazbin Hotel Helluva Boss crossovers?

Jesus Christ, this video hit some personal spots. Too many, in fact. But I guess I needed to hear it. Thanks.

If Hell broke Stolas, Blitz can fix him.

I love these analysis videos so much

Stolas's stuffed animal at 4:03 reminds me of Max from the Sam and Max series

I’m a Stolas Fan still But the thing is he’s the one ho hurt Blitz first 😢I know Blitz said some very harsh things to him in The Full Moon and Blitz like to do the thing with Stolas but let us remember it was in fact Stolas ho wanted Blitz to do the thing with him in the first place and Stolas had this plan to say give me my book back I’m keeping it permanently which hearts Blitz 😢than Stolas giving him the Asmodein crystal and tells Blitz that he doesn’t need to see him anymore which makes Blitz feel like Stolas is playing with him and that’s why Blitz sed what he said to me Blitz needed more time to Process what is going on I wish that Stolas could have sed no I don’t feel like doing this tonight can we talk our give blitz the Asmodein Crystal in a present 🎁 for him to open for I’m self but no Stolas Just walked out on Blitz 💔saying Blitz broke his heart 💔 but then Leeds to Blitz you know lashing out 😢then Stolas never gave Blitz the chance for him to say I’m sorry Stolas Clearly should’ve given Blitz that chance Stolas Kicking him out before he could even get the chance to say sorry it’s kinda selfish💔 it’s just Stoles really should have let blitz say sorry then they would’ve worked things out but that’s not what happened 😢 They’d need like counseling.

10:42 *ABSOLUTE TELEVISION*

I'd like to see maybe 'What If' speculations with both the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss series.

FINALLY a good read on Stolas

Sir, I give you high applause. This examination is wonderfully on point. In fact, I hope it offers a merit to continue Helluva Boss. If it takes 4 Seasons to complete a Stolas arc, and there are 72 Goetia, we should truly strive for a series of 300 Seasons, because "a boss" doesn't have to be IMP or Blitzo forever, it could be any group of hellish denizens who themselves reflect upon humanity much the same way The Simpsons or Archer does.

You know, I've seen a LOT of videos talking about the recent two episodes of Helluva Boss, but all of them seemed....very...ehh? Like they attacked Stolas for being perceived as a victim and seemed to think that social power was the only factor. (Even tho Blitz is a much more experienced partner, compared to the guy who never got to date anyone EVER). This is the ONLY video that's actually addressed both the fact the Stolas had been written FIRST as an antagonistic character and then as a love interest, that power in a relationship is complicated and isn't JUST social class. And that he has been experiencing abuse and neglect. The worst thing about it is that once someone tells you to go away, or to stop. Or walks from you you are supposed to RESPECT that want for distance. Blitz's unwillingness to do so, and constant attempts at fighting/fucking him is at this point harassment. Now does that mean Stolas is BLAMELESS? No, he needs to genuinely become aware of the real social differences between him and others, because you can over power over someone without ever knowing it. It's nice just having a video ACTUALLY talking about both the in world reasons for their behaviour, and the direction of the show, how Blitz learned he has to earn his way to affection/attention and how Stolas learned that he is not worthy of it.

Can’t wait for new episodes ❤

I still think Solitz is the endgame of the characters, given it was confirmed to be either a three or four season show I don’t remember which, but I think we’re going to need to see them both heal from and overcome their trauma first

So if Blitzø is Catra, does that make Stolas Hordak?

Not even hell born are safe in hell

Personally, I was not a fan of the writing at all in Full Moon and Apology Tour, mostly because of how often the dialogue felt forced to ensure the misunderstandings and breakup. Maybe not as bad as Shrek's and Fiona's misunderstanding in the first Shrek movie, but certainly within spitting distance of being that bad. I'm going to be charitable, however, and assume two things: #1: Stolas has been such a moronic hypocrite thus far because the writers cared enough to give them each their own character exploration episode. #2: This is all just setting things up for the season finale. Here are my expectations for the season finale: #1: Striker dies. #2: Blitzo comes to the rescue, not because Stolas is still in danger, but because he finds out that Octavia is a potential target as well. #3: Going into Season 3, Blitzo and Stolas will at least be back on speaking terms now that they know one thing they have in common is how much they want to be better fathers to Loona and Octavia than Paimon and Cash Buckso ever were to them. I can picture Blitzo and Stolas having a relationship less like that of the described rom-com and more like the one Danny Tanner had with "Uncles" Jesse and Joey in Full House, IE: completely absent of affection but held together out of sheer family devotion.

Ngl, watching DeepCut dive into Dr. K levels of psychoanalysis for the fandom's favorite problematic gay bird prince just made my day 💙

I guess Hell broke loose

I am depressed thanks to helluva boss and like the new episodes are just sad like sad

I still don't think Paimon is a bad guy! He's vain, prideful and thinks he's perfect but he's not evil

Video idea- where has Paidmon been. I know he is very hands off but with the divorce, what happened at Ozzie, Stolas being in the hospital and I am sure they are going to be rumors, videos, and photos from the hate Blitzo party. With all of that you think he would show up and do something.

They both deserve happiness and love 🥺😢💔🦉😈❤️

We haven't heard of Paimon since "Hereditary"!

Great analysis, thanks!

Hm, I hope we get a Episode going a little more into Stolas’ Flaws.

Any theories about how M&M met and what brought Millie to Pride?

Is it possible for all of them to be redeemed just like in hazbin hotel

i wanna see ur opinion/review on the spindlehorse pride pic!!! i love it so much

Don’t lose hope stolitz fans they will get back together in mastermind sinsmas and don’t lose you got to keep hoping for stolitz will get back together at mastermind and sinsmas and the end of season 2 you got to have faith trust hope love and hope and happiness

He really is the green ranger

I think Stolas & Blits both have a sad up bringing that lead to them both being the way they are. Hopefully, there be a good ending for them both.

Thoughtfulness, is appreciated. Great video.

Maybe Stolas wants someone who knows his feelings

Where is my daddy, Paimon!? I need more of him in my life!!!

I do think about that with what blitz said they are from hell there supposed to be bad people
