Two things about this episode: One, I like how Stolas took a seat while telling Blitzø that he's never looked down on him. It's a nice little visual indicator that Stolas is literally trying to level with Blitzø, but of course Blitzø refuses to acknowledge that because of his self-hatred and fear of intimacy. Two, my dumb ass has just realized why Verosika is so bitter about Blitzø. She's a succubus, a female sex demon. Lust and seduction are the name of the game for her, so she's likely never settled down with just one partner until Blitzø. And yet she fell in love with this scrappy, vulgar imp...only for him to unceremoniously dump her after she tells him she loves him. No wonder she hates him so much. I'd imagine fear of heartbreak is the reason "Only little bitches strum the strings in their hearts" is a phrase at Ozzie's, too. When dealing with physical intimacy, getting too attached can lead to a lot of anguish. Hell, knowing Verosika is a succubus is probably why Blitzø started dating her in the first place. He probably thought "Any connection I have with her will be only physical, so there's nothing to fear with commitment!" Only after the relationship gets serious does he go on his heart-breaking streak, hoping to avoid getting too close to anyone. Sorry for the ramble, y'all. Have some cookies. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

“It starts with sorry” -Charlie Morningstar

I just realized how kind and sweet verosika is. Before this episode, i thought verosika was some snobby rich popstar who only cared about herself. Im glad Vivzipop showed us the other true side of verosika. I never realized how heartbroken she was when Blitzø broke up with her. It was also really kind of her to cheer up Stolas from his heartbreak. ❤

The line in All 2 U “ cause I am not a thief but you were mine to earn “ is crazy.

The fact that Verosika is truly a kind and empathetic succubus of a person truly signifies her improved characterization over the first season

Verosika being so friendly with Stolas was actually really wholesome to me 😭😭

This was so good. Older people always talk about how things were better in their time, but I am almost 50 and this is a golden age for good animation.

It moved my heart seeing blitz look around at all, his exes seeing their pain and feeling guilt from realizing he’s the one who caused their pain. It really shows that blitz. Is improving his character bit by bit. I can’t wait to see how he is at the end of the show.

The fact Martha and the teacher got together is hilarious to me 🤣

It’s cute how Stolas blushes when Verosika gives him a kiss on the cheek. Not in a “let the ship sail” kind of way, it’s just sweet that a friendly greeting is enough to get him flustered because it’s not something he’s used to. And I like seeing Verosika being this warm and welcoming person when she’s not performing or dealing with Blitz. It’s easy to portray “the big ex” of a story’s protagonist solely as the spiteful one who needs to let it go and move on while they try to ruin any relationship the protagonist might get into. Rather, she’s shown to be over the relationship but not over how bad it _ended,_ so she waits for the other people he’s still hurting with a drink and a hug.

Okay but "i was told there would be cake" WAS HILARIOUS TO ME SOMEHOW???

I just realized a cool lil detail about Stolas' flames during his song. They emerge from his heart, and when he transforms back, the flames become a bunch of little hearts that break as they fade. Do I know exactly what this means? No. But it probably has something to do with how much he loved Blitz. Like how people say their heart burns for someone.

The fact Verosika is the only person who realizes that blitz also hates himself, is just so heart warming even though their exes, you can still tell Verosika still cares a little bit

I like the symbolism with Verosika giving Blitzo the cake with a heart on it. She had given Blitzo his heart back in a way.

8:21 in the corner on the table bee left a note saying “have fun”

"i want to be someones someone" Has never hit harder man stolas amd verosika are thr best

i love the fact that blitzo knew that stolas was referencing a romcom, meaning that they BOTH listen to romcoms to cope..

I love how Verosika is genuinely portrayed as a character with actual feelings, and acts on them. And not with bitter violence, but with advice.

crazy how stolas finally says how he is feeling and out of all times its when hes drunk

"I was told there would be cake? " is so god damn funny-😭

Blitzøs realization was painful but necessary… the way he realized how much his actions hurt people and his jealousy towards stolas being with someone else at the end hurttt

I couldn't stop myself from crying for Verozica. THE VERY REASON BLITZ LEFT HER WAS BECAUSE SHE FELT SAFE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT SHE LOVED HIM. My heart.... it hurts... I want to give her such a big hug and tell her that there's nothing wrong with what she did... It's brave to feel

The best part of this is… blitz is never out of place at the party. It’s for everyone that hates him. And even when screaming from the top of his lungs. No one looks at him as a monster or demon among demons. He’s just broken. Fitting in with all the other broken people at this gathering. It’s poetic.

This actually made me tear up a bit. The fact that blitzø knows he fucked up but he doesnt know how to react. It also hurt me how he looked so sad when Stolas was with the other guy 😭

"The *first* time?!" Huh. Somehow I never put it together that Stolas didn't know that Striker had been hired to assassinate him at the harvest moon festival.

Verosika hosted these parties not to shame any of Blitzø's exes, but to reassure them that they're not alone in what they're going through. She was so nice to Stolas the entire night 😭 I fricken love herrr💗🖤

I need the new episode to come out RIGHT now I NEED TO SEE BLITZ EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS THE RIGHT WAY

0:40 “wow poetry, im sure such a statement wouldve had me swooning by now” was so sad, the way he looked so tired done and hurt, they outdid themselves with this episode

I love how drunk Stolas is still as polite and sassy as sober Stolas, just a little more sloppy.

Ok but can we all appreciate Bryce Pinkham (Stolas’s voice actor) for the way he nailed this ep? The way he delivers Stolas’s drunk voice and sadness is just *chef’s kiss*

I really want the quarrel between Blitzø and Stolas to get resolved

I can't put in words how I need Stolas' song as a single so it can just play on repeat the voicework on it was SO good and hit so hard. I am begging!

I just realized, after blitzø apologizes to verosika, she calls him blitzø rather than blitzo, when shes telling him to calm down. That is actually really sweet. Edit: sorry to be that person, but rip my notifications.

Sorry, but Blitz giving out his favorite snack as an “apology” was such a cool detail. Cheese and hot sauce.

I really like the touch of adding the whipping sounds to Blizo's tail when he's in the argument.

Verosike being so kind and caring is so wholesome and i love it

Stolas' eyes when he says he doesn't look down on Blitz is heartbreaking. He meant that shit.

"I'm not over it, but I'm over you" is one of Helluva Boss' simplest, yet hardest and most profound lines.

I didn't know that I needed a soft rock ballad sung by Stolas. But now I know that's exactly what I needed.

I really hope they make up, especially when Stolas is sober, I want them to be happy and know how each other really feel 🥺

I kinda like the fact that Blitzo’s apology to Verosika didn’t resolve things the same way it did with Fizz. I like it when shows show that not every apology ends with straight up friendship. Verosika clearly wants to see Blitzo become a new person but is definitely making it clear she wants distance while he does it.

I love how Verosika realizes that Blitzø absolutely belongs at the “I Hate Blitzø” party

This is so sad. Stolas had no friends so he has no social skills and doesn't understand that blitz thinks he thinks he's below him and he's just totally head over heals and doesn't know how to tell him whereas blitz grew up with a father that wasn't interested in him as a person only what he could give so when stolas says "favours for favours" ofc blitz is going to think it's just sex. And ofc he's going to think stolas views him as below him when stolas says things like "my impish little play thing" and "little creatures" as well as the environment they both grew up in is very horrible however very different to each other. I hope they communicated soon and come to and understanding and reunite with each other❤❤❤

I just rewatched the whole series for like the 4th time (I’ve watched this episode twice) and I just feel so connected to the characters in so many ways. The show is so realistic with the way it shows feelings and it’s heart breaking to watch but incredible. I love this show so much. ALSO STOLAS’ SOMG WAS SO GOOD

Verosika is the only person who finally realizes that blitz hates himself more than anyone at that party could possibly hate him. Because what's worse than being the person who breaks everyone's heart? Being so broken that you don't think you deserve anyone's heart in the first place.

At 15:45, right as Blitz was about to touch Stolas, the song gets louder, saying "Dont touch that pretty thing." Such a small detail but the work everyone has put into this is incredible.

The most amazing thing about these characters is how real they are.

I dunno why NO ONE was talking about this. But blitzø when he was on his apology tour, stopped multiple times to try and apologized to STOLIS, but stopped every time. Blitzø has so much guilt but cant communicate it. He says things out of anger then regrets it and doesnt know how to say sorry, its tragic.

That one bit with Mayberry and Martha is one of the greatest plot twists ever.

The way stolas looked at blitz for permission to go dance stands out to me so much. I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but the fact stolas wanted to make sure blitz was okay with him dancing with that guy despite how upset and hurt he was… augh.

Everyone knows that Blitz hates it when they sat his name with the O at the end. So the fact that Verosika calls him by the name he prefers at the end of the conversation is such a big thing. She's happy to see his genuine side and truly does want him to grow.

I like how this episode has subtitles, yet Full Moon still doesn't for some reason.

I like how blitzø may have been going through the 5 stages of grief because he starts in denial, denying that stolas doesn’t want to hookup anymore then he goes through anger by blowing up at stolas then he tried bargaining by saying that stolas will like him if he apologizes to everyone he wronged then he got depressed because he realized he has been so bad to so many people and accepts that he needs to be a better person

“I wanna feel like I am earning my way to Earth.” I really like how this highlights the way Blitz sees things.

I can't tell you the last time I've listened to a song as much as I've listened to ALL 2 U in the last four days. I also can't tell you how relatable I feel towards both Blitz and Stolas, how you know you want to change, but any slight against you makes you fall back into the bad habits and mentality that caused the issues in the first place. Knowing you fucked up so, so bad, but wanting to fix it, yet you for sure know you're not going back to how things were. First guy I was with, I was not very emotionally available with, took it for granted for sure, and realized after we broke off there needed to be changes if I ever got with another person. I'm in a relationship that is overall better, but still needs work, on both ends. That also allowed me to look into who I wanted to be and who I wanted to be with, and learning from those past issues in myself and my partner, trying to confront it instead of trying to internalize it or sweep it under the rug. You guys are doing amazing work on all fronts with this series, I'm both grateful and humbled every time you guys put out new content. Let the haters hate, I see what you're doing here and I'm all for it, Stolas got his get-back, and will (hopefully soon) get to eat his share of humble-pie from Octavia (who totally needs to be the person to serve it to him). Looking forward to it!

Respect how the parts are still getting better even tho they are already so good.

How symbolic that Blitz when on a "hate Blitz" party. He fits in perfectly

Now we understand why Blitz keeps stalking Millie and Moxxie: he cant fathom a real relationship, how someone could care so much for eachother. He engages in all kinds of one night stands just to feel a single drop of connection, just to run away when things get serious because his self-esteem issues are so big that he belives none could want him

When Verosica encouraged Stolas to say how he felt. She was anxious about it because it was like the feeling that “ hey maybe I deserved it was it my fault was there’s something that I did to deserve it” but he let himself go like he should. Because blitz hurt stolas.

15:00 damn... I've never related to any character more than him in this moment. i have never experienced what it is to be someone's someone (probably never will) and his desperation on it broke me..

This episode was both uplifting and utterly heartbreaking. Stolas has it nailed when he says, " You have an entire party full of people who cared about you. Do you realise how much you have to care to do something this stupid? " Blitz goes around assuming that he's unloved but never sees all the people who have loved him and been rejected. His armour of self-hatred is so thick he can't see past it 😢

The fact verosika was so sweet to stolas because of their experience with blitz is nice because she actually cares and felt the same way he did

stolas once again proving his singing skills

13:21 Isn't it sweet how Stolas helps him hide even though he is mad? 🥺

i like how Verosika isnt some cold hearted bitch we saw in spring broken but is a hurt and deeply relatable character, being ghosted and abandoned by someone you fell in love with does hurt and it does affect you, but we also see that, while it isnt an instant friendship, she is open to seeing Blitz change is open to forgiving him

The fact that stolas looks to blitzø for permission before dancing feels like it means so much and I can’t find any comments even mentioning it.

The ending totally breaks me, with Blitzø understanding too late that he loves Stolas and realizing he fucked up resulting in loosing him (for the moment) 💔

every other episodes writing has been so frustrating for me. i’m just really happy with this episode. stolaz finally gets something good.

The way Verosika calls him Blitz and offers him some cake after realizing he hates himself. Between this and the party, I’d say this is the reason why Tex is in her posse. She’s like Bee in that she engages in her sin, but she cares where it counts. Putting together a party where people can not only vent, but they can also find camaraderie and perhaps a new love if only for the night, isn’t a succubus thing. It’s a healing thing. Verosika found that way to help others heal, and it’s really nice to see this other side of her

The irony of Blitz not accepting/realising people care about him while at a party full of people that loved him so much they get together to commiserate how awful it was to lose him is just the most beautiful, heartbreaking thing ever

First, I'm actually crying with this episode, just when I though the last episode was intense 😭 Personally I really enjoyed seeing Stolas beign honest with his feelings and that finally he said everything he has inside him. Second, Blitzø finally understanding the situation is both so heartbreaking but also healing 🥺 And the end of the day, he also has his own issues that need to deal with. Third, HOW IN HELL EVERY SONG THAT STOLAS SIGNS IS SO PERFECT?! The lyrics is beautiful and so emotional, and he is learning that maybe he needs to learn something too 😞😞😞 So many emotions i'm just one episode, but I have faith in both Stolas and Blitzø, I NEED THIS TWO TO BE HAPPY!!!! P.D. we love that little jealousy scene 🥴🥴🥴

It’s almost symbolic how blitzo was at the blitzo hating party

Stolas is the highest ranked demon at the party but no one seemed to care. No bowing, no 'your highness' and no special treatment.

Stolas just hitting the emergency stop button on crying and masking up was the most relatable moment ever. I really hope he remembers everything after he sobers up. This episode was perfect

nah the fact that everyone hates blitzo is sad but the fact that he hates himself more than anyone is just heart breaking

Veronica and vortex telling stolas there’s no point in trying to save it is heartbreaking every time

Martha and Mrs. Mayberry dating is the biggest plot twist😭😭😂

"I don't think you meant to hurt me, cause I don't think it meant a thing at all" Is some of the most genius lyricism I think I've ever heard

as a teenager when a third person takes one of the lead characters that was meant to end up with another lead and becomes a threat id get mad and annoyed but now even though i ship stolas x blitz i was actually happy for stolas when someone nice and talk in a gentle way scooped him bc stolas fucking deserved it he deserved a kind gesture

I notice something. Stella always organize "i'm not divorced yet" for make Stolas miserable and have all the attentions for her. Verosika organize "hate Blitzø" party, not just for her hate for Blitzø, but for help all Blitzø's exes to find friends or partners

Imagine having so many people fall in love with you that you pushed away, and they throw a party dedicated to hating you, and most of them break down and cry at the memory of you, and you still cant seem to get it in your head that people care about you. Edit: Yo chat these bots are so annoying

I know this party is all for Blitz's exes, but still... my one problem is that they missed the opportunity for a nice site gag by having Moxxie pop up. He just shows up in the background, having walked around a corner. He sees and recognizes Blitz despite his "disguise", goes buggy-eyed for a moment, then quickly and silently backs up, and evidently runs away from the party before he's seen.

if you think about it, stolas is kind of hypocritical. during blitz and stolas’s argument, stolas protests that he doesn’t like how dirty blitz is speaking to him, when blitz knows damn well the way stolas was speaking to blitz when stolas had a massive crush on him.

It's so depressing because all Blitzø needs to say is, "Stolas, I'm sorry. I love you."

I loved how Stolas attended a sacrifice party and just wanted cake

I hope to see Stolas have a similar revelation to what Blitz had this episode in the future and return his apology with his own.

Blitz is a SSS+++ Gaslighter at the end of this he made me feel bad for him

I like the detail of Moxxie being the first person that Blitz thinks to include on his apology list, but also one that never gets crossed out. Really emphasizes how the initial "apology tour" was only meant for people that he _doesn't_ actually care about

At 19:23, I for real thought Verosika was going to say “it starts with sorry” as a hazbin hotel reference. But it obviously makes more sense to say “good for him” considering that the episode shows that apologizing cant fix everything, and sometimes you have to accept things as they are.

19:30 I love how this is Verosika saying "eat your heart out" to Blitzø 😂

I mean its messy and complicated fr fr but wanting to be loved and more than just lust in a relationship when you feel emotionally unloved/taken advantage of is pretty relatable. Stalking != love, quite the opposite in face. I've been stalked by at least one male to work and one flirty lady to scorned looking demon to a gym locker room for 40 minutes. Where they stood outside the shower room with her mascara dripping off her face and enraged eyes after faking a drown. And maybe I've been on the other end when flooded with hormonal chemicals. The last word I'd use for a hormonal testrorone filled rage or rage filled period is "love" but creepy or obsession. We have to remember live isn't a tv show and even though this is a pretty messy relationship multiple things can be true at once. Blitzo appeared only wanting to rob Stolas, Stolas joked that he could only be here for nefarious reasons, either to rob him again or to jokingly visit him alone to seduce him. With a definite power indication Stolas could have him killed at a whim or order but during a failing marriage went "f it", and wanted to check in on Blitzo. Who canonically Stolas though of as a childhood friend, the first he made at like 5-10, who wanted to be a clown and had dreams of running a professional circus and offering to let Stolas join and play pirates. Both were domino pushed into different things. Blitzo was sold for a dollar and pocket lint to rob them by a selfish joke father. Stolas was " gifted" without knowing it was fake. When Stolas made the assumption, he was probably under the illusion Blitzo was the same innocent childhood friend he had a bond with. After all, the ones I had talked about memories, even distant ones I didn't remember that remembered me from footballers who went on to nfl or 6 feet 4 buff Chad's and Polynesian nfl giants came up to me in restaurants to talk about the day we fought over hohos and donuts in a classroom. Or had parents so cheap we EXPLICITLY walked away from male/male Valentine's with 20/20 vs 30/30 classrooms lmao. Blitzo is a cartoon character. They both are and none are free of faults. But Stolas ignored literal red flag after warning red flag. That things changed, his wife wanted to kill him. His daughter was crying herself to sleep every night, and he was chasing any warmth he could find. That a relationship Blitz didn't want seemed good by comparison to a isolated bird. That Blitzo only halfheartedly reciprocated and smoked cigarettes out of boredom and saw Stolas as a transactional sex for book deal. Much of the relationship began to sour after s1:5 when Blitzo, despite being in a relationship with Stolas, openly developed crushes on everything but Stolas. Stryker literally attempted to strangle his employees Millie and Moxxie in cold blood into a basement and kill Stolas for Stella as a power trip and that's where a lot of Blitzos starting enragement and rage at Stolas is planted. From a hired serial killer who made him wet who he didn't shoot but blushed. Blitzo is a romantic interest here but if this was the real world. Reddit romance wouldn't excuse picking a serial killer OVER YOUR OWN SPOUSE because THEY LOOKED AT A MENU. Relationships in real life take work and anyone who systemically ignores their partner for basic needs and words for years makes a great soap romance. But sometimes complicated isn't the best thing to live in real life. There's some people for instance who take the tsundere anime trope literally. And end up literally warned they'll have the police called on them after "romantically following my girl of my dreams 7 houses and asking her if she'd like to see me @$$#%$ her. She told me I was creeping her and her children out, and that she would call the police unless I moved 39 feet away." It might be harsh but the older someone gets in their ways, often the more likely they are to resist change. S2:9 Blitz is taking some right steps and being legitimately willing to change is a green yellow flag imho. But like a Stolas, I don't want to go back to someone who always hurt me when I once looked up at them. Who'd never change alone for me when I was hurting, who thinks stalking/unhealthy obsession is love and has messed up red flag fantasies. I'd just want to call the police if boundaries were crossed too far, get A restraining order if things were unmendable and move on. And stay with someone who genuinely loved me or made us both feel butterflies, even with real ups and downs. A cartoon fantasy relationship can go anywhere. And the relationship is set in hell. And Blitzo is legitimately trying to change. And theres a awkward message for both. But it's like a opposing job offer. If one offers to give you more for less. And your old job temporarily swears at you, cusses you out. Would the fear things would improve for a while then crash (love bomb then abuse(??)/resentment) happen again? ) The other relationship could be a fresh start or a gamble.2 minutes is way too short to know someone and with Stella antics it might be the wrong time to be vulnerable vs blinded by want. But he could offer Stolas what he needs to heal or be a trap or impulse lay. Life is messy. Second chances exist, but dropping 17th chances after 14 broken hearts is just depressing after some point. Its no wonder Stolas and I eventually gave up after 6 more broken and walked over chances even to the one A blitzo would offer. It's not about being in bed with a Opportunistic, self centered. and proud of it serial killer. Its about being loved. Which a serial killer is the wrong person to "help" with for anyone with sense in irl.I think if in a real life scenario. It makes sense for anyone to want to move on, guard their heart or find the right person or mend things. Mistakrs in the real world can be like car accidents in the real world. You can lose what took a lifetime to build, in just three seconds making the wrong judgement or having false confidence in a car in your blind spot.

13:20 I love how, even though he's drunk off his tail and hurting, Stolas still goes out of his way to protect and shelter Blitz from the rest of the party crowd, herding him into a less populated room.

I really like the line "That's a rom-com". From personal experience, I've seen many, MANY people romanticize the idea of a relationship and bend over backwards to try and make it like how they see it portrayed in media, unable to draw that line between fiction and reality. Relationships can be magical--but not always in that way. Moreover, they're often hard work in reality and require A LOT of communication, understanding, and even sacrifice from all parties involved. I know the episode was more aimed at Blitz's mistakes, but it also shows that Stolas also has an air of naiveté when it comes to having a relationship as well.

NOT THE MARKETABLE BLITZØ PLUSH TIED ON A POLE AND SET ON FIRE😭😭😭

I just want a whole Verosika Mayday Album please. Can we make this happen ???

The fact that when Stolas sees Blitz in the party he pushes the cover down so nobody can recognize him, knowing that he could be killed there;( ma boy Stolas is too precious for this world

I kinda love how the fact that when blitz reveals himself to stolas at the bar after the song, even though stolas is drunk and hurt and angry, he still worries enough to make sure blitz is properly covered in the tablecloth and leads him away somewhere safer and quieter to talk without blitz getting hurt

The fact that i rewatched this more than 10 times and i still can't move on from crying

Its so cute when stolas crys in the party with blitz

7:45 “I WaS ToLd ThERe WOuLd bE CaKE” stolas is so done 🤣🤣
