Blitzø's trauma is, in my view, heavily tied to the death of his mother, and the accepting of the blame piled onto him by Cash and Barbie Wire. Blitzø has never healed from his mother's death and it causes him to avoid that level of relationship like the plague. The reason, he's fearful of having it ripped away, as from the accident and fire. Emotionally I don't think Blitzø thinks he'd be able to survive another similar loss.
And that's probably why he got so upset when he found out stolas could die, the one person he could count on never dieing (as he's immortal) which is probably why he got so attached in recent vids
I don't think he hates love , I think he's scared of it. He thinks so low of himself that eventually everyone gets close too will leave. So instead of waiting for it to happen he distances himself first. He still craves love so substitute it with lust and transaction.
Blitz hates himself, the most blatant example of it is the fact all the photos he have in his house have his face covered, manually covered, most likely by himself since Loona's room is not there, he doesn't like to see his face together with other people, even with his own daughter
Maybe Blitz can't stand feeling love because he has never been loved in his life, the only person who truly loves him is his mother Tilla, but ever since the circus accident, his mother is killed and his sister Barbie Wire doesn't want anything to do with him. What's worse is Fizzarolli being injured during that accident and the whole rivalry thing happened all because of Cash Buckzo. Blitz and Verosika dated before, but when she admitted she loves him, he just bailed on her. Maybe the reason is why he did this to Stolas and Verosika is because he's so scared of making new relationships after everything that happened in his life.😨😥
Blitz is easily one the most tragic characters in the show. The fact that his first crush was maimed by the very same fire that killed his mom has definitely skewed his view on relationships. At least blitz has fizz to confide in when he's in need of comfort. I do hope that verosika will pay blitz some visits from time to time to see his progress.
I don't feel like I can handle a romantic and vulnerable relationship. I've been told a lot that I'm in a low league and whenever someone tells me they have a crush on me, it feels like a lie as when I get really attached to someone, I get rejected. It makes me feel like I'm incapable of romance or a relationship with anyone.
The first step is to love yourself more. Just so you know, people don’t lie when they tell you they love you, because it takes a lot of guts already to admit one’s own feelings, so they really mean it.
@@rebecca_rh But don't some people do it just to take the mick or make someone feel bad about themselves because the perpetrator has their own problems?
@@callmeitoig sometimes yes. That’s why I always believe is healthy to build a strong frienship based on trust and care with a person before (maybe) pursuing a romantic relationship with them. Most times you don’t even expect it really. That’s how i got with the love of my life and i really wish that to everyone. Then you’ll know you truly can trust them : )
@@callmeitoig thank you so much ❤️ I really hope you will find it as well, i’ve waited long but it’s worth the wait, so don’t lose hope allright? I wish you all the best 🫂
Blitzø is kinda like bojack horseman. Both wish to gain love and acceptence from the people around them, both had a horrible parent that played a role in the person they came to be, both screwed over a close friend(at least acidentilly in Blitzø's case) and both try to justify their behaviour when they both know they are indeed the one at fault. The difference i see is that Blitzø at least has more redeeming qualities then bojack and is slowely learning to become a better person.
You know i didn't really think of bojack horseman when it comes to what character is similar to blitz honestly i thought of rick from rick and morty because of there one similarity being that they both push away people that get to close because of a bad experience for blitz it would be the time that he was indirectly responsible for his friend being a cripple and his mom dying for rick it would be the death of his daughter and wife
Yes Stolas already showed affection to Blitz as a child, but we have to remember the circumstances as to why they spent time together as kids: To young Blitz, young Stolas essentially "bought him" to spend time with him, which for young Blitz already was a sign of Stolas just using his power in the class hierarchy of hell for his own selfish reasons, and which for Blitz also already cemented the transactional nature of their relationship in general. And with Stolas calling Blitz his impish plaything and other such classist remarks towards either him or imps in general it's no surprise Blitz saw their relationship as transactional even when Stolas started to show more affection. The seeds of Blitz's perception of Stolas had been planted long ago.
If Blitzø never had a dad, his life, the way he looks at things would be so much better. Blitzø feels he doesn’t deserve to be loved because of his mom. She loved him and he loved her. He accidentally killed someone he loved as much as they loved him. He pushes himself to believe that if he lets someone know he loves them and they let him know that they love him too that history will have that chance of repeating. It kind of already is with Striker trying to kill Stolas.
u beautifully explained why i relate to blitz a lot. the self hatred, the feeling of not being useful to others, the feeling of not being deserving of genuine affection or love (romantic, platoic, or familial). this is why blitz is the most complex and relatable character to me.
I will admit, I'm kinda disappointed you didn't mention the possibility of Blitzø suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder As he fits a lot of the symptoms, including: Fear of Abandonment Idolising people, then pushing them away (Splitting) Reckless Behaviour Identity Disturbance Intense Emotions that change rapidly. May have Chronic feelings of Emptiness at times Not to mention, Blitzø has a clear pattern of intense & unstable relationships Blitzø has 6, maybe 7 symptoms of this disorder You only need 5 to be officially diagnosed by a licensed psychiatrist
It’s an interesting idea but I don’t tend to explore anyone having a disorder unless it’s explored on screen first. While it can be fun to diagnose and even be intentional by the writers, I just don’t like boxing characters into those labels.
@@CartoonUniverse That's quite understandable. I just feel that, as someone who has the same disorder, I do see a lot of myself in Blitzø. Including his recklessness & unstable relationships
I thought the same when watching the epsiode. Having a few loved ones with BPD and doing my Masters in the Mental Health field, to me, Blitzø's personality and behaviour definitely suggested he could have BPD. But I also agree with the content creator that it is better not to label a character with any type of disorder, unless it is directly addressed within the show or by Vivziepop themselves.
This episode for as much as I love it. I hate that I was foolish into believing there would be some reconciliation, or Stolas smile was towards blitz when it wasn’t. Stolas in tears having to be at blitz side when he was telling him he didn’t want him to be there. I enjoyed knowing blitz will progress into changing and becoming a better person but the realization that his actions have consequences and affect other people’s lives was something really painful but needed in order for him to have that realization
Kind of like me with that bluey episode the sign and the ending when bandit basically YEETED the sign out of the ground and how they didn’t have to move meanwhile I had to move out of my house and there was nothing I could do about it :(
Another possibility is as many others brought up is lingering trauma from the circus fire/Blitz's father. That moment of tragedy came from when he put his feelings on the line at Fizz's birthday and cost him so much that Blitz may have associated being emotionally vulnerable as dangerous. So dangerous that he thinks self-sabotaging and scaring someone away under his own control is the better outcome. And that can also be what made Stolas special. He thought Stolas was invulnerable.
i talked about this a bit in the mammon episode on vivzy's channel but as someone who was physically and emotionally abused by my mother it left a scar, a deep one. i was called trash, worthless, human garbage, and told nobody could ever love me and that the only use i had was what i brought to the table. and when she wasn't doing that she would be hitting me so hard i'd have "purple marks" on me [
Your life story really resonates with me. In my life i opened a chapter where i just started to understand how im scared of affection, trust and love. And i wanted to ask you, did you learn how to accept love? I just want to know if there's a way to heal, because i can't stand loneliness that im causing by self-sabotage
It is nice though he doesn't become completely like his dad. Cause sometimes when you have abusive parents their kids end up just like their parents. Blitzo however has never mistreated Loona before. In fact he spoils her quite often to the point of giving his bedroom. 🤔
I'm going with 1) he was told he was an unwanted failure through most of his childhood, 2) his love being weaponized against him, and 3) those who loved him without ulterior motives suffering horrible ends. So being told "I love you" = they want something from me, or something bad is going to happen to them.
I'm excited to see if they explore Stolas' issues because he has a bunch that are on display. Just like Blitz has a ton of toxic issues. Stolas jumped so quickly into the arms of that other imp. All it took was a little affection and this can be a problem too.
I think Stolas’ issue is the opposite. While Blitzo distances, Stolas clings. Think about it - Stolas grew up a lonely individual. His father couldn’t even be bothered to remember his son’s name. And as an adult he was married off to an abusive, narcissistic wife who gets off on tormenting him. Stolas comes off as someone who’s so desperate for a connection that he’ll go with anyone who’s willing to give it to him.
I actually don’t think Blitz feels the way he does about elites because he was burned by someone. It’s all because of his father’s conditioning and the accident. The accident has left Blitz thinking that he just ruins people and makes their lives worse. So he refuses to let anyone love because he’s convinced they deserve better than him.
Blitz get so much hate from everyone because he screwed them all over but they all never knew his reason as he keep them away from the truth, the real reason he pushed them away is because he doesn't want them to get hurt or killed like what happened at the circus as blitz said it was a truly a accident.
Ever since I was a kid on the spectrum I’ve been treated differently, lots of kids just didn’t want to be around me or don’t treat me seriously like anyone else. After getting into the dating world I’ve experienced this too. I’ve been led on, and treated like a second option. Those that were interested in me ended up leaving me due to me saying the wrong things and not acting like an ideal partner cause of my stunted social skills, and they get sick of me. Sometimes I just leave others because I see things in them about me that are considered undesirable and I can’t handle that as well as scared that I’ll do something again that’ll make them uncomfortable. Sometimes I just think I’m not capable at all of maintaining a serious relationship and that I was born this way and there’s nothing I can do about it.
A further take away that we can get from Apology Tour is that the bulk of Hell is probably more in line with somewhat normal human relations. If the demons that Blitz had interaction with resulted in this much damage as a result of his actions then the expectation is much more in line with someone having a more caring relationship. Blitz is like a hair trigger right when a relationship starts to move into something real. When people are the most exposed. So Blitz exploding at the first sign of love tells us that love is common in Hell. But that Blitz and Stolas are anomalies that resulted from particular family structures.
I actually like the subversion that the demons of Hell are also just trying to live normal lives like everyone else. It's not the demons that make Hell suck, it's the circumstances that makes it suck.
@@pancakes8670 I have been trying to sort out what the rules of Heaven and Hell are in Viv's universe. And I think she is playing games with the audience in keeping them in the dark about it. It starts out similar to the Christian version of Heaven and Hell. Heaven is for the good people and Hell for the evil people. And Hell is forever. But Charlie's idea that you can redeem people in Hell and get them into Heaven is more in line with Judaism. Jews believe wicked people go to Gehenna and are punished. This eventually purifies them and then they transition to Paradise. But in Viv's world we don't see Demons assigned to punishing people and there is no mention of it. Instead what seems to have gotten Sir Pentious into Heaven was nothing more than therapy. They helped him overcome his Social Anxiety disorder and trust issues. And he was able to make friends, develop empathy, and even fall in love. They gave him his humanity that he never found on his own in Life. As near as I can figure Charlie is doing what Lucifer was supposed to have been doing with the sinners. But Lucifer's pride got in the way and he took their failing personally. That and he probably had the Angel's idea that Hell was for evil people. Thus he left the sinners to rot in Hell with no Hope. Until Charlie showed up and showed him hope wasn't gone. I think the Overlords came about because Lucifer did nothing to rule over the Sinners. He wanted nothing to do with them. He busied himself with the rest of Hell. Bit ignored the sinners. And while there were some Overlords that had the interests of the sinners in mind (eg Zestial and Carmilla) most of them were more predatory. And thus their rise in power just made Hell more like Hell.
I think that alot of this trauma has come from how people treated him after the fire incident when he was a teenager, he probably put his feelings out and people pushed him out of the picture because of those feelings he had. Another big part of it might be his relationship with barbie, where he clung onto her so close since she was the last he had and the amount of horrible insults and pushback and hate she showed him has conditioned him to act that way too
The section on self-sabotage is so deep and enlightening, that I'll probably have to come back and listen to it a few more times. As a kid, I fantasized about being "the other kid", an imaginary figure that is an amalgamation of all the other children my parents compared me to, and how wonderful it must be to be a kid that can do no wrong and is always the positive end of comparisons. Now as a graduate student I still often struggle to convince myself that I am good enough. The beauty of this series is just how relatable many of the characters are and how real its events feel even though it is set in an entirely different plane of existence. Looking forward to the Stolas video! He has quite a few issues that he doesn't currently seem to be aware of. I should know, I have them too.
Blitz has PTSD/Shellshock when he from his own mom burns to death which is why he keeps on cutting relationships when they get too close to. His avoidance is something those people do
When the people who claim to love you are the ones who do the most to hurt you, you tend to gravitate towards people who only want you around because you’re useful. Then you realize that apathy is as bad as hate, give up, and adopt a dog.
Losing his mother and his relationship with Fizz over a genuine accident likely has played a part in his self-hatred. Blitz is a deeply flawed but also a tragic character. The poor guy can never catch a break. His downward spiral in the 2nd season will likely bring a reconstruction in the 3rd season, allowing him to redeem himself and give himself love that he needed for a long time. At least, I hope so.
As someone with Borderline Personality Disorder i relate immensely to Blitz. He shows every sign of BPD and is such a complex character because of it. It’s nice to see BPD represented so well in a show and i honestly can’t wait to see him grow as a character.
“Hell seems to be full of people who still want to just feel close to another person despite their supposed evil nature” That’s a fantastic thesis summary for this show and idk why I didn’t realize it sooner. Super well-put!
Honestly, Blitz's trauma is so relatable it hurts. Like, I have been there, thinking that others will end up abandoning me, or even worse, that they might stay and ruin their lives due to it. It's so difficult. It stays with you and waits for when you are at your lowest to strike. His conversation with Stolas in Apology Tour reminds me of a conversation I had with my partner, like, the whole idea of not understanding how one could love you. There are a lot of stories of people who crave to be loved, yet are so afraid of being rejected, of getting hurt, that they don't pursue, that they don't try to give love a try, because it might hurt, and usually that leads to that apathy, where yeah, you don't get hurt, but you also close off any possible joy.
6:42 The reason children do this is not only because they don’t know better, but also because it is easier to survive if you don’t accept that your parent is flawed and that it is YOU who is flawed, because you can’t change your parent’s actions, only yours.
After accidentally burning up his own mom, causing fizz to loose his horns and all 4 limbs, his own sister hating him for the fire, and his own dad treating him like dirt. I can see an blitz is so scared of relationships. All of them blew up in his face. At least he fixed it with fizz
I relate so much with Blitzø. I lost so many friendships in the past because I don't really want to trust people so much. They ended up talking about things behind my back and laugh at me not knowing the reason behind my personality. I was bullied when I was very young, even by my so called bestfriends. I was verbally abused, called out in our classroom as an ugly girl with big eyes, and even my phone was stolen from me when it was my graduation at 6th grade... When I grew older and now that I'm 24 I still struggle trusting people, I still have that wall between people I should trust and people that I should just be colleagues with even though they are trying so hard to build a connection with me. I have a boyfriend and we are already 6 years, but I would say that we really went through a lot before I built trust in him.
Blitz communicates through raw emotion and Stolas through lengthy conversations. They cannot effectively communicate unless they sit down with another couple (e.g. Fizz and Asmodeous) to work things out and find a way to effectively communicate. Also, Stolas seeks and idealised version of love (as in, simple and easy), not a realistic version (as in, difficult, hard, and takes time for both people to feel the same)
I really love your side to this because while eveyrone is saying stolas has become most relateable, i felt blitz and his self loathing was the most relateable thing ever
See, I had very loving parents growing up, and still do, but my internalization of the idea that I could never be loved came from constant rejection from my peers. Different causes aside, I also fall into the trap of needing to feel useful because no one would want me around if I didn't give them something, though I tend to latch on to someone who claims to love me rather than push them away. As for Blitzø, keep in mind that it's not just his father's abuse, it's that, when he was about to confess his feelings for Fizz, he accidentally maimed Fizz and killed his mother. People are bringing up the trauma of feeling like he killed his mother and maimed his best friend, but what I'm not seeing mention of is that that event is also directly tied to his attempt to confess his feelings to his first love, meaning that romantic feelings will always be associated with the worst moment of his life in his mind. I'm still not a hundred percent convinced Blitzø was hurt by a royal he slept with in the past, but I'll accept it if that happens; but I do think his self-sabotage stems from his childhood, not a relationship he had later in life.
The amazing thing, you can see in helluva boss and most cartoons, is how you can see the animation, and illustration getting better! Its amazing, just seeing the artists and animators get better! The beginning of season 1 (not including the pilot) looks like a draught of the actual show! Full moon, is so well shaded, and drawn! Also, how do imps live with those horns? Especially buckzo! How does he sleep!? How does he walk through doors!? Just H O W !!!?!???!😮😵💫
Thank you imp cut for explaining how complex & relatable Blitzø is. I can relate to Blitzø because I don’t believe I deserve love & remembering how my parents got divorced a couple of years ago, I learned that sometimes people just use us for their benefits instead of acknowledging others a beings that wants to love but can’t. The things you pointed out about Blitzø I know I have cause in my sophomore year this girl was my friend & she said to me on her last day at the school she said she liked me & the first time we meet. I didn’t believe her or her words so I acted like a dick towards her most of the time, “ I don’t want to be this way … not forever”.
I feel so bad for him 😔🥺 poor Blitz... This episode reminds me of darker times in my life this is such a horrible feeling to get such confirmation in the face that so many people hate you. It's enough to give you social anxiety for life. Even when you are as strong as Blitz and he is much stronger than he thinks, it hurts so bad and you could clearly see him suffering throughout the episode. I just want to hug him and tell him he's not alone and there are people who love him. No wonder his issues are so hard and it all started from his childhood when his own father only cared about him for selfish reasons, this is all he knows, this is all he believes he can be. it's awful because he had such a huge heart inside which he tries so hard to hide and save himself from getting hurt again and again. I can relate so much it hurts
Not totally on topic but I LOVED the new background music in this video!! Great context as always, I always leave these feeling like I understand the characters more
its the same reason i cant handle being loved. its called trauma. blaming yourself for it. and just not accepting it and moving on. any time i feel like im loved, it makes me feel like i dont deserve it and i sabotage myself even though i worked hard to get that love, and i deserve to feel it back. i cant realize all this in the moment. its wild. im aware of the problem but once the solution comes up things get weird and i revert back to the self sabotage. man every time i see that scene, i cant help but to think,,, i miss him... im sorry...
I also think that Blitz has dated another Goetia before because of upset he got at Stolas’ confession. I also think it was the person who I assume is adrolphous (either adrolphous or the new red guy we see a little before in the video I think?) during one of the cut scenes in the season 2 trailer
your videos and others like it are healing me rn lol. i was in an actual funk for a few days after apology tour came out... maybe i relate to blitz a little too much 😅
It seems like "Ghostf-ers" is THE Blitzø episode, as Brandon said during an interview, so I think we'll be deepdiving into Blitzø's mind and maybe the things that hurt him to get to this point of self-sabotaging.
My first ever experience with love was a cruel joke by a guy I had a crush on back in middle school. I had always been told I was out of his league and that he'd never like me so when he asked me out I thought it was a dream come true. Little did I know at the time he only asked because his friends dared him to date me for a day. As a kid that really devastated me and started my path down self sabotaging and not believing I could be loved. I still struggle to have lasting relationships and like blitzø i push people away. Im trying to improve but its so difficult when everyone you’ve been in a relationship with has hurt you in some way, parents included...
I believe Blitz has severe seperation anxiety bc of the accident. Since the people he loved most were gone/ hated him, he doesn't like to have a strong bond to someone bc the fear of losing this person and having to deal with the pain all over again is too much. I honestly feel him for that.
Blitz doesn't hate love, he fears it, and the consequences of hurting others with his trauma and baggage leading to losing that love. That's what makes his character so complex and interesting, at least in my opinion.
I think I related so viscerally to Blitz in Apology Tour that I was genuinely depressed and crushed for several hours after watching it. I have had a net zero romantic relationships or any other kind of intimate involvement after I was SA-d as a teen. I feel like I want to find love but I’m also deeply scared and worried that I’d just make any relationship weird… In the last moments of the episode I was imagining how horrified I would be if I had several dozen exes holding a yearly party to express how much they hated me… I’m just scared that I might end up wasting someone else’s time trying to find love.
Hellavu boss really is relatable down to the last detail. It reminds me of how even though I attempt to find a person who would care, not every person can feel the same or some just don't care and some change to fit in with others
Apology Tour made everything so clear. Maybe he is still blaming himself for the death of his mom Tilla, & with that guilt and the blame from his father really struck him life a knife. He lost Fizz & Barbie, because of his actions he started hated himself all those years, destroying his family, even though it was an accident he still feels guilty of what happened to Tilla. He's also afraid to mess up a fresh new start of relationship and lose them again. Before everything, he has to start loving himself first, because if he doesn't he will be forever alone. But the big question is who told Blitzo that no one will ever love him, who is this unknown royal before Stolas told him that?
I related a ton with Blitz in apology tour because, even with a good and functional life, I'm convinced that anyone who hasn't already created a strong bond with me and even then is just doing a roleplay with me and doesn't mean all that they say, because that's how I can be. This is especially the case with other teenagers that have "higher status," which means, large friend groups, cool, social media attached, and having partners left and right, all that I'm not. So when any school mate would talk to me or show interest in me in some way, I am 90% convinced that this is only an act that they would lead me into, only to attack with their gang if I open up too much. I keep everyone at arms length and definitely relate to Blitz's perspective on his and Stolas' relationship.
I believe when he is spying on M&M he is really spying on Moxxie mainly if not exclusively. They did both meet in prison but only one manage to find love and get married. I guess the reason why he is obsessed and a jerk to Moxxie is because he really want to ask him how he did it. Both are such opposites of each other but one is more honest with themself.
Stolas does treat blitz as a lesser being several times. he also came up with the sex for book deal, and he has had all the power in the relationship. they are both at fault, Stolas is equally to blame as blitz is.
I think it might be tied to him causing the fire, and he feels like he doesn't deserve love because of not just his past relationships but also because he still blames himself for accidentally killing his mother and giving fizz scars and missing limbs
@@apexmarveldchelluvabossfan7247 Ah. Now I understand. The reason why Blitzø doesn't deserve Love is because he STILL blames himself, for accidently started the fire on Fizzarolli's birthday, accidentally killing his own mother and giving Fizz scars and missing arms and legs. That's the reason why Blitzø doesn't deserve Love
it makes sense you know, he keeps trying chase after Moxxie and Millie's lives in order to fill himself into said lives, but he's just hurting himself little by little, which is why Moxxie is constantly annoyed back in the pilot episode, and that time of going to meet Crimson, honestly, if Blitz really wants to change, he needs to do something about himself, like facing his past, go on some spiritual journey or something, that's how he'll move on out of that old life.
Short answer: Blitz's dad used his love for his mom and sister by saying, "If you don't do this, they won't love you." He learned love is only transactional.
I really blame his father and probably his sister for this! Because of their horrible, ungrateful, ignorant, uncaring, cold hearted and pathetic attitudes and that they blame Blitz for the fire accident this causes poor Blitz to fear that he will never be loved or cared by anyone. Cash and Barbie are horrible people and horrible family an it's their fault!
Honestly my whole thing with Blitz issues with love is aside from his dad when has anyone ever lied to him to help push what his dad had him believe. Really wish the show went more in depth of Blitz's past family dynamic like how they did Moxxie. His mom didn't say anything but was clearly shown to want better for him and to not be a monster like Crimson.
Blitz probably imagines if he lets his gaurd down again, he might unintentionally cause another "circus disaster". Maybe he assumes all relationships go down in flames so is just a Pavlov reaction to tear anything and everyone down, romantic or not.
I...feel like I want to get rid of my kindness sometimes because I feel it gets me no where...Blitz and I..yeah we both only hear that little demon/imp in our minds telling us in our voice that we aren't good enough and have to be a certain way to feel happy.
The fact I can entirely related to Blitzø in this one episode speaks volumes of those who have philophobia (fear of love) bc not everyone can have the self confidence to be close to people and keep those relationships (I have the feeling that if I’m not useful then people leave and go away)
Honestly tho the way you described self sabotage actually was extremely well spoken it actually made me think a little bit about my own past relationship trauma
Thanks for this video! ❤ I have been in the same state as Blitz for a long time, I know how exhausting it is not to love yourself and not give free rein to your feelings When people talk about the Blitz, it's like I hear they talking about me, and yeah... thats tough lol
Blitz represents people who want to change because of their selfish actions. Everything he's ever done was out of compulsive habits and terrible problem solving. This episode he just learned how long and painful the road ahead is going to be for him to change.
Honestly, I think the reason he hates being loved and why the moment someone says they love him is because perhaps the last thing his mother said to him was I love you. I can honestly believe that being the last thing she said when he found her in the fire.
Blitz needs to learn how to forgive himself in order to move past from his self-image of being undeserving and undesirable of love. When he did love, it was met with tragedy with the death of his mother, breakdown with his sister, and almost permanent but now patched up friendship with Fizz. Once he forgives himself, he can move on from the trauma holding him back to someone deserving of him. Other than that, this video interpretation is most likely 100% bang on of a synopsis and breakdown of his cause to react to love.
Parental neglect. My parents rejected / neglected me. I've been lonely for years and had to go through therapy. I've since let down my walls and had kids with someone. Life changed, but I still feel lonely at times.
With people like Blitz who lash out at emotions they're not pleased with, I'm sure M and M are more used to Blitz shoving people away, rather than pulling others close. Keep that up for long enough and people around you will assume that they'd get the same treatment at any turn. Blitz is usually too self-isolating to reach out for help. Even when he's at that low point, even Luna keeps him at arm's length. I'm sure if Blitz let his walls down and genuinely asked Moxxie and Millie for support, they'd give it. But sadly it seems he's not the sort to do that. However, that relationship can always grow and change. For Blitz's sake, I hope it does. He needs to learn to let people in without making them pay the price for being open.
@@goddessbettyd5614  tal vez Blitz esté tratando de redimirse de todos sus autosabotajes y sus tendencias autodestructivas. Se equivocó arriba. Seguro que tiene defectos, pero bueno, ¿quién de ahí abajo no los tiene?
I have actually experienced guit a lot of things in life that lead to me feel sensitive to love that I don't want to be attached to and feel more pain mentally because it's normal. I was born with few menatl issues and have trouble expressing my feelings the way I would explain them. My family was a pit of a mess that I didn't knew my real dad before because he was never there and insteade I viewed my step-dad as a real father because he was there. I did have siblings but it's more of a parent problem for me, so after I got 10 my dad finally visited me and I didn't knew him at first which lead me to be confused. I did ask him about why he wasn't there but he never answered. My mom was usually always there for me but she never showed much interest in me and was always in her world. If I did something wrong she will punish me or be angry and never much teach me the life needed skills like cooking ortelling me manners much but she did that rarely. After years being that way and getting even more hurt by people on my age almost like 10 to 12 almost and getting hurt by my friends and bullied at school and all that trauma made me truly suffer but never realized after few years later. I wasn't much happy anymore with my life. I wasn't anymore energetic, I wasn't anymore smiling and didn't felt loved. I obviuosly accepted that truth as a thing that something was wrong eith me and it was probably me acting autistic because I am autistic and the others didn't like me much and just used my innocence up snd even getting sexually abused. After getting more tears I started to bottle up more and try to act like a normal person with no mental issues seen on me as much as I could. I stayed more out of the grup of people and I began to be more quiet. I was scared to get hurt again because of love. I did talk to my mother about things that happen but she just said "I know" which hurted me so much and I only thought that she doesn't know anything much about what it actually was. I stayed my distants of my mother and didn't want to botger her much. My step-dad started to drink alcohol and bother me more and I knew that he did Illegal thinf to me and just randomly touched me and aaked if I wanted a massage to look more innicent but after I told my mom about it she divorced him which destroyed my image of my childhood forever. Now today I'm still scared of love and loving pain more then the positive way of it.
7:28 - I think Blitzø might have been in a relationship with Vassago. It would certainly sting him if Stolas leaves him for Vassago after this episode. It might also explain how Blitzø knew of Stolas' grimoire.
I've been used so many times that I personally believe that noone can love me and that hurts but your content makes me so happy and really interests me because I'm really into psychology thank you for being a la amazing person and RUclipsr
In Poland we have something called Wokulski's syndrome (not too official, it's a bit similar class like werter syndrome?) - it's named after a book character, Stanislav Wokulski who was a wealthy merchant that wanted to marry a beautiful noblewoman. The only way he could think of impressing her was money - he would buy her all the things, thinking love is something that you buy or need to deserve. That you have to prove yourself being worthy loving. Kind of reminds me of how Blitz perceives things, as he can be loved only as a good lover, only as a good bodyguard, he needs to buy it or earn it
I think its also because of his father. He only looked genuienly happy with blitz when he stole valueble things from stolas' house deeming him 'useful' to blitz's father
I SHIP BLITZIKA! BLITZIKA FOREVER
I wanna see them hook up once JUST ONCE maybe to make Stolas jealous for Stolas hooking up with that lifeguard looking Chad
You do you
No 😮
Nah, stolitzø forever😊
@@Work_in_progressGTWomp Womp lil bro Blitzika better
Blitzø's trauma is, in my view, heavily tied to the death of his mother, and the accepting of the blame piled onto him by Cash and Barbie Wire. Blitzø has never healed from his mother's death and it causes him to avoid that level of relationship like the plague. The reason, he's fearful of having it ripped away, as from the accident and fire. Emotionally I don't think Blitzø thinks he'd be able to survive another similar loss.
That seems very accurate tbf
And that's probably why he got so upset when he found out stolas could die, the one person he could count on never dieing (as he's immortal) which is probably why he got so attached in recent vids
@@ClaudiaCaffrey-nk6ec Absolutely, Stolas's immortality was a 'safe' aspect to Blitzø. Blitzø can't deal with close emotional loss.
I don't think he hates love , I think he's scared of it. He thinks so low of himself that eventually everyone gets close too will leave. So instead of waiting for it to happen he distances himself first. He still craves love so substitute it with lust and transaction.
Blitz hates himself, the most blatant example of it is the fact all the photos he have in his house have his face covered, manually covered, most likely by himself since Loona's room is not there, he doesn't like to see his face together with other people, even with his own daughter
Blitz accidentally caused his mother's death, Fizz's injuries and his mother's death likely led to barbie wire's addiction
Maybe Blitz can't stand feeling love because he has never been loved in his life, the only person who truly loves him is his mother Tilla, but ever since the circus accident, his mother is killed and his sister Barbie Wire doesn't want anything to do with him. What's worse is Fizzarolli being injured during that accident and the whole rivalry thing happened all because of Cash Buckzo. Blitz and Verosika dated before, but when she admitted she loves him, he just bailed on her. Maybe the reason is why he did this to Stolas and Verosika is because he's so scared of making new relationships after everything that happened in his life.😨😥
That's a very real possibility
@@enegizedadam Really?😮
I see that being a thing
@@justicerainsfromyamumSay what?
"I destroyed everything, I make everyone's life worse"😭
Blitz is easily one the most tragic characters in the show. The fact that his first crush was maimed by the very same fire that killed his mom has definitely skewed his view on relationships. At least blitz has fizz to confide in when he's in need of comfort. I do hope that verosika will pay blitz some visits from time to time to see his progress.
I don't feel like I can handle a romantic and vulnerable relationship. I've been told a lot that I'm in a low league and whenever someone tells me they have a crush on me, it feels like a lie as when I get really attached to someone, I get rejected. It makes me feel like I'm incapable of romance or a relationship with anyone.
The first step is to love yourself more. Just so you know, people don’t lie when they tell you they love you, because it takes a lot of guts already to admit one’s own feelings, so they really mean it.
@@rebecca_rh But don't some people do it just to take the mick or make someone feel bad about themselves because the perpetrator has their own problems?
@@callmeitoig sometimes yes. That’s why I always believe is healthy to build a strong frienship based on trust and care with a person before (maybe) pursuing a romantic relationship with them. Most times you don’t even expect it really.
That’s how i got with the love of my life and i really wish that to everyone. Then you’ll know you truly can trust them : )
@rebecca_rh Congratulations on getting a loving partner! Praying your future holds great things :)
@@callmeitoig thank you so much ❤️
I really hope you will find it as well, i’ve waited long but it’s worth the wait, so don’t lose hope allright?
I wish you all the best 🫂
Blitzø is kinda like bojack horseman. Both wish to gain love and acceptence from the people around them, both had a horrible parent that played a role in the person they came to be, both screwed over a close friend(at least acidentilly in Blitzø's case) and both try to justify their behaviour when they both know they are indeed the one at fault. The difference i see is that Blitzø at least has more redeeming qualities then bojack and is slowely learning to become a better person.
Blitz is a demonic imp, sympathetic or not. Bojack being compared to a guy like Blitz says a lot about Bojack.
@falconeshield especially since bojack is a worse person lol
this is an extremely good take i love this
You know i didn't really think of bojack horseman when it comes to what character is similar to blitz honestly i thought of rick from rick and morty because of there one similarity being that they both push away people that get to close because of a bad experience for blitz it would be the time that he was indirectly responsible for his friend being a cripple and his mom dying for rick it would be the death of his daughter and wife
Horse family guy
Blitzø is like a abused dog. Their so used to getting beaten that they expect it even when their new owners are nice
The lashing out too.. I have the scars to prove it
Yes Stolas already showed affection to Blitz as a child, but we have to remember the circumstances as to why they spent time together as kids:
To young Blitz, young Stolas essentially "bought him" to spend time with him, which for young Blitz already was a sign of Stolas just using his power in the class hierarchy of hell for his own selfish reasons, and which for Blitz also already cemented the transactional nature of their relationship in general.
And with Stolas calling Blitz his impish plaything and other such classist remarks towards either him or imps in general it's no surprise Blitz saw their relationship as transactional even when Stolas started to show more affection.
The seeds of Blitz's perception of Stolas had been planted long ago.
If Blitzø never had a dad, his life, the way he looks at things would be so much better. Blitzø feels he doesn’t deserve to be loved because of his mom. She loved him and he loved her. He accidentally killed someone he loved as much as they loved him. He pushes himself to believe that if he lets someone know he loves them and they let him know that they love him too that history will have that chance of repeating. It kind of already is with Striker trying to kill Stolas.
u beautifully explained why i relate to blitz a lot. the self hatred, the feeling of not being useful to others, the feeling of not being deserving of genuine affection or love (romantic, platoic, or familial). this is why blitz is the most complex and relatable character to me.
I will admit, I'm kinda disappointed you didn't mention the possibility of Blitzø suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder
As he fits a lot of the symptoms, including:
Fear of Abandonment
Idolising people, then pushing them away (Splitting)
Reckless Behaviour
Identity Disturbance
Intense Emotions that change rapidly.
May have Chronic feelings of Emptiness at times
Not to mention, Blitzø has a clear pattern of intense & unstable relationships
Blitzø has 6, maybe 7 symptoms of this disorder
You only need 5 to be officially diagnosed by a licensed psychiatrist
It’s an interesting idea but I don’t tend to explore anyone having a disorder unless it’s explored on screen first. While it can be fun to diagnose and even be intentional by the writers, I just don’t like boxing characters into those labels.
@@CartoonUniverse
That's quite understandable.
I just feel that, as someone who has the same disorder, I do see a lot of myself in Blitzø.
Including his recklessness & unstable relationships
I thought this as well! Glad to see someone else talking about it
This is highly possible, at least disorganized attachment style though for sure
I thought the same when watching the epsiode. Having a few loved ones with BPD and doing my Masters in the Mental Health field, to me, Blitzø's personality and behaviour definitely suggested he could have BPD.
But I also agree with the content creator that it is better not to label a character with any type of disorder, unless it is directly addressed within the show or by Vivziepop themselves.
This episode for as much as I love it. I hate that I was foolish into believing there would be some reconciliation, or Stolas smile was towards blitz when it wasn’t. Stolas in tears having to be at blitz side when he was telling him he didn’t want him to be there. I enjoyed knowing blitz will progress into changing and becoming a better person but the realization that his actions have consequences and affect other people’s lives was something really painful but needed in order for him to have that realization
Kind of like me with that bluey episode the sign and the ending when bandit basically YEETED the sign out of the ground and how they didn’t have to move meanwhile I had to move out of my house and there was nothing I could do about it :(
Don't forget that there's a part of the trailer that shows blitz protecting stolas from something, which implies that he may redeem himself later
Another possibility is as many others brought up is lingering trauma from the circus fire/Blitz's father. That moment of tragedy came from when he put his feelings on the line at Fizz's birthday and cost him so much that Blitz may have associated being emotionally vulnerable as dangerous. So dangerous that he thinks self-sabotaging and scaring someone away under his own control is the better outcome.
And that can also be what made Stolas special. He thought Stolas was invulnerable.
Blitz is a very relatable character
Yea this episode maded me sad, but hopeful for Blitzo to change.
i talked about this a bit in the mammon episode on vivzy's channel
but as someone who was physically and emotionally abused by my mother it left a scar, a deep one.
i was called trash, worthless, human garbage, and told nobody could ever love me and that the only use i had was what i brought to the table.
and when she wasn't doing that she would be hitting me so hard i'd have "purple marks" on me [
Your life story really resonates with me. In my life i opened a chapter where i just started to understand how im scared of affection, trust and love. And i wanted to ask you, did you learn how to accept love? I just want to know if there's a way to heal, because i can't stand loneliness that im causing by self-sabotage
Even though blitz has a hard time navigating through failed relationships, he still won’t let his past define him how to love/ to be loved.
I’m glad to see a Stolas video because, as sympathetic as he can be, he’s just as guilty in his relationship with Blitzø as Blitzø.
It is nice though he doesn't become completely like his dad. Cause sometimes when you have abusive parents their kids end up just like their parents. Blitzo however has never mistreated Loona before. In fact he spoils her quite often to the point of giving his bedroom. 🤔
I'm going with 1) he was told he was an unwanted failure through most of his childhood, 2) his love being weaponized against him, and 3) those who loved him without ulterior motives suffering horrible ends.
So being told "I love you" = they want something from me, or something bad is going to happen to them.
Tell me about your pain today.
We just put my dog down yesterday
I banged my knee on the corner of my bed and I can’t move it anymore
I got killed
I can’t find pain.
I had to help my friend put his Beloved dog friend down
I'm excited to see if they explore Stolas' issues because he has a bunch that are on display. Just like Blitz has a ton of toxic issues. Stolas jumped so quickly into the arms of that other imp. All it took was a little affection and this can be a problem too.
I think Stolas’ issue is the opposite. While Blitzo distances, Stolas clings.
Think about it - Stolas grew up a lonely individual. His father couldn’t even be bothered to remember his son’s name. And as an adult he was married off to an abusive, narcissistic wife who gets off on tormenting him. Stolas comes off as someone who’s so desperate for a connection that he’ll go with anyone who’s willing to give it to him.
I actually don’t think Blitz feels the way he does about elites because he was burned by someone. It’s all because of his father’s conditioning and the accident. The accident has left Blitz thinking that he just ruins people and makes their lives worse. So he refuses to let anyone love because he’s convinced they deserve better than him.
Blitz get so much hate from everyone because he screwed them all over but they all never knew his reason as he keep them away from the truth, the real reason he pushed them away is because he doesn't want them to get hurt or killed like what happened at the circus as blitz said it was a truly a accident.
Ever since I was a kid on the spectrum I’ve been treated differently, lots of kids just didn’t want to be around me or don’t treat me seriously like anyone else. After getting into the dating world I’ve experienced this too. I’ve been led on, and treated like a second option. Those that were interested in me ended up leaving me due to me saying the wrong things and not acting like an ideal partner cause of my stunted social skills, and they get sick of me. Sometimes I just leave others because I see things in them about me that are considered undesirable and I can’t handle that as well as scared that I’ll do something again that’ll make them uncomfortable. Sometimes I just think I’m not capable at all of maintaining a serious relationship and that I was born this way and there’s nothing I can do about it.
A further take away that we can get from Apology Tour is that the bulk of Hell is probably more in line with somewhat normal human relations. If the demons that Blitz had interaction with resulted in this much damage as a result of his actions then the expectation is much more in line with someone having a more caring relationship. Blitz is like a hair trigger right when a relationship starts to move into something real. When people are the most exposed. So Blitz exploding at the first sign of love tells us that love is common in Hell. But that Blitz and Stolas are anomalies that resulted from particular family structures.
I actually like the subversion that the demons of Hell are also just trying to live normal lives like everyone else. It's not the demons that make Hell suck, it's the circumstances that makes it suck.
@@pancakes8670 I have been trying to sort out what the rules of Heaven and Hell are in Viv's universe. And I think she is playing games with the audience in keeping them in the dark about it. It starts out similar to the Christian version of Heaven and Hell. Heaven is for the good people and Hell for the evil people. And Hell is forever.
But Charlie's idea that you can redeem people in Hell and get them into Heaven is more in line with Judaism. Jews believe wicked people go to Gehenna and are punished. This eventually purifies them and then they transition to Paradise.
But in Viv's world we don't see Demons assigned to punishing people and there is no mention of it. Instead what seems to have gotten Sir Pentious into Heaven was nothing more than therapy. They helped him overcome his Social Anxiety disorder and trust issues. And he was able to make friends, develop empathy, and even fall in love. They gave him his humanity that he never found on his own in Life.
As near as I can figure Charlie is doing what Lucifer was supposed to have been doing with the sinners. But Lucifer's pride got in the way and he took their failing personally. That and he probably had the Angel's idea that Hell was for evil people. Thus he left the sinners to rot in Hell with no Hope. Until Charlie showed up and showed him hope wasn't gone.
I think the Overlords came about because Lucifer did nothing to rule over the Sinners. He wanted nothing to do with them. He busied himself with the rest of Hell. Bit ignored the sinners. And while there were some Overlords that had the interests of the sinners in mind (eg Zestial and Carmilla) most of them were more predatory. And thus their rise in power just made Hell more like Hell.
Thank you helluva boss has been the only thing on my mind and I needed more content
In short he'll never believe that someone can truly care or love him
I wouldn't say never. It's a belief he has to overcome, and Helluva Boss is planned to have 4 seasons.
I think that alot of this trauma has come from how people treated him after the fire incident when he was a teenager, he probably put his feelings out and people pushed him out of the picture because of those feelings he had. Another big part of it might be his relationship with barbie, where he clung onto her so close since she was the last he had and the amount of horrible insults and pushback and hate she showed him has conditioned him to act that way too
The section on self-sabotage is so deep and enlightening, that I'll probably have to come back and listen to it a few more times.
As a kid, I fantasized about being "the other kid", an imaginary figure that is an amalgamation of all the other children my parents compared me to, and how wonderful it must be to be a kid that can do no wrong and is always the positive end of comparisons. Now as a graduate student I still often struggle to convince myself that I am good enough.
The beauty of this series is just how relatable many of the characters are and how real its events feel even though it is set in an entirely different plane of existence. Looking forward to the Stolas video! He has quite a few issues that he doesn't currently seem to be aware of. I should know, I have them too.
Blitz has PTSD/Shellshock when he from his own mom burns to death which is why he keeps on cutting relationships when they get too close to. His avoidance is something those people do
When the people who claim to love you are the ones who do the most to hurt you, you tend to gravitate towards people who only want you around because you’re useful.
Then you realize that apathy is as bad as hate, give up, and adopt a dog.
Did not expect to get attacked today 😅
The difference between Blitzø and I is that I actually ended up being right about all of them 😅
Losing his mother and his relationship with Fizz over a genuine accident likely has played a part in his self-hatred.
Blitz is a deeply flawed but also a tragic character. The poor guy can never catch a break.
His downward spiral in the 2nd season will likely bring a reconstruction in the 3rd season, allowing him to redeem himself and give himself love that he needed for a long time.
At least, I hope so.
As someone with Borderline Personality Disorder i relate immensely to Blitz. He shows every sign of BPD and is such a complex character because of it. It’s nice to see BPD represented so well in a show and i honestly can’t wait to see him grow as a character.
“Hell seems to be full of people who still want to just feel close to another person despite their supposed evil nature”
That’s a fantastic thesis summary for this show and idk why I didn’t realize it sooner. Super well-put!
Honestly, Blitz's trauma is so relatable it hurts. Like, I have been there, thinking that others will end up abandoning me, or even worse, that they might stay and ruin their lives due to it. It's so difficult. It stays with you and waits for when you are at your lowest to strike. His conversation with Stolas in Apology Tour reminds me of a conversation I had with my partner, like, the whole idea of not understanding how one could love you. There are a lot of stories of people who crave to be loved, yet are so afraid of being rejected, of getting hurt, that they don't pursue, that they don't try to give love a try, because it might hurt, and usually that leads to that apathy, where yeah, you don't get hurt, but you also close off any possible joy.
6:42 The reason children do this is not only because they don’t know better, but also because it is easier to survive if you don’t accept that your parent is flawed and that it is YOU who is flawed, because you can’t change your parent’s actions, only yours.
After accidentally burning up his own mom, causing fizz to loose his horns and all 4 limbs, his own sister hating him for the fire, and his own dad treating him like dirt. I can see an blitz is so scared of relationships. All of them blew up in his face. At least he fixed it with fizz
I relate so much with Blitzø. I lost so many friendships in the past because I don't really want to trust people so much. They ended up talking about things behind my back and laugh at me not knowing the reason behind my personality. I was bullied when I was very young, even by my so called bestfriends. I was verbally abused, called out in our classroom as an ugly girl with big eyes, and even my phone was stolen from me when it was my graduation at 6th grade... When I grew older and now that I'm 24 I still struggle trusting people, I still have that wall between people I should trust and people that I should just be colleagues with even though they are trying so hard to build a connection with me. I have a boyfriend and we are already 6 years, but I would say that we really went through a lot before I built trust in him.
Blitz communicates through raw emotion and Stolas through lengthy conversations. They cannot effectively communicate unless they sit down with another couple (e.g. Fizz and Asmodeous) to work things out and find a way to effectively communicate. Also, Stolas seeks and idealised version of love (as in, simple and easy), not a realistic version (as in, difficult, hard, and takes time for both people to feel the same)
I really hope Blitzø gets his apology.
Fr bro deserves an apology as much as anyone else
@@hyacinth_enthusiastfr
Fr
Why?
I really love your side to this because while eveyrone is saying stolas has become most relateable, i felt blitz and his self loathing was the most relateable thing ever
See, I had very loving parents growing up, and still do, but my internalization of the idea that I could never be loved came from constant rejection from my peers. Different causes aside, I also fall into the trap of needing to feel useful because no one would want me around if I didn't give them something, though I tend to latch on to someone who claims to love me rather than push them away.
As for Blitzø, keep in mind that it's not just his father's abuse, it's that, when he was about to confess his feelings for Fizz, he accidentally maimed Fizz and killed his mother. People are bringing up the trauma of feeling like he killed his mother and maimed his best friend, but what I'm not seeing mention of is that that event is also directly tied to his attempt to confess his feelings to his first love, meaning that romantic feelings will always be associated with the worst moment of his life in his mind. I'm still not a hundred percent convinced Blitzø was hurt by a royal he slept with in the past, but I'll accept it if that happens; but I do think his self-sabotage stems from his childhood, not a relationship he had later in life.
The amazing thing, you can see in helluva boss and most cartoons, is how you can see the animation, and illustration getting better! Its amazing, just seeing the artists and animators get better! The beginning of season 1 (not including the pilot) looks like a draught of the actual show! Full moon, is so well shaded, and drawn! Also, how do imps live with those horns? Especially buckzo! How does he sleep!? How does he walk through doors!? Just H O W !!!?!???!😮😵💫
Thank you imp cut for explaining how complex & relatable Blitzø is. I can relate to Blitzø because I don’t believe I deserve love & remembering how my parents got divorced a couple of years ago, I learned that sometimes people just use us for their benefits instead of acknowledging others a beings that wants to love but can’t. The things you pointed out about Blitzø I know I have cause in my sophomore year this girl was my friend & she said to me on her last day at the school she said she liked me & the first time we meet. I didn’t believe her or her words so I acted like a dick towards her most of the time, “ I don’t want to be this way … not forever”.
I feel so bad for him 😔🥺 poor Blitz... This episode reminds me of darker times in my life this is such a horrible feeling to get such confirmation in the face that so many people hate you. It's enough to give you social anxiety for life. Even when you are as strong as Blitz and he is much stronger than he thinks, it hurts so bad and you could clearly see him suffering throughout the episode. I just want to hug him and tell him he's not alone and there are people who love him. No wonder his issues are so hard and it all started from his childhood when his own father only cared about him for selfish reasons, this is all he knows, this is all he believes he can be. it's awful because he had such a huge heart inside which he tries so hard to hide and save himself from getting hurt again and again. I can relate so much it hurts
Not totally on topic but I LOVED the new background music in this video!! Great context as always, I always leave these feeling like I understand the characters more
Blitzø got *E M O T I O N A L DAMAGE*
its the same reason i cant handle being loved. its called trauma. blaming yourself for it. and just not accepting it and moving on. any time i feel like im loved, it makes me feel like i dont deserve it and i sabotage myself even though i worked hard to get that love, and i deserve to feel it back. i cant realize all this in the moment. its wild. im aware of the problem but once the solution comes up things get weird and i revert back to the self sabotage.
man every time i see that scene, i cant help but to think,,, i miss him... im sorry...
I can't help but notice that impcut seems to be talking from experience 8:30
I said to comment if you feel personally attacked, not if you think I'm attacking myself T_T
I also think that Blitz has dated another Goetia before because of upset he got at Stolas’ confession. I also think it was the person who I assume is adrolphous (either adrolphous or the new red guy we see a little before in the video I think?) during one of the cut scenes in the season 2 trailer
I always appreciate how well your videos tie real world problems to my favorite shows. Thank you for all the hard work you do Deepcut!
your videos and others like it are healing me rn lol. i was in an actual funk for a few days after apology tour came out... maybe i relate to blitz a little too much 😅
It seems like "Ghostf-ers" is THE Blitzø episode, as Brandon said during an interview, so I think we'll be deepdiving into Blitzø's mind and maybe the things that hurt him to get to this point of self-sabotaging.
Commitment is scary. Being vulnerable and letting people in exposes you to them leaving you. It’s not easy to overcome this fear
My first ever experience with love was a cruel joke by a guy I had a crush on back in middle school. I had always been told I was out of his league and that he'd never like me so when he asked me out I thought it was a dream come true. Little did I know at the time he only asked because his friends dared him to date me for a day. As a kid that really devastated me and started my path down self sabotaging and not believing I could be loved. I still struggle to have lasting relationships and like blitzø i push people away. Im trying to improve but its so difficult when everyone you’ve been in a relationship with has hurt you in some way, parents included...
The best way I can describe Blitzø's mental state and thought process is: an enigma.
I believe Blitz has severe seperation anxiety bc of the accident. Since the people he loved most were gone/ hated him, he doesn't like to have a strong bond to someone bc the fear of losing this person and having to deal with the pain all over again is too much. I honestly feel him for that.
Blitz doesn't hate love, he fears it, and the consequences of hurting others with his trauma and baggage leading to losing that love. That's what makes his character so complex and interesting, at least in my opinion.
These last few episodes have felt more real then the others have they now seem more like real people then just characters on a screen.
I think I related so viscerally to Blitz in Apology Tour that I was genuinely depressed and crushed for several hours after watching it.
I have had a net zero romantic relationships or any other kind of intimate involvement after I was SA-d as a teen. I feel like I want to find love but I’m also deeply scared and worried that I’d just make any relationship weird…
In the last moments of the episode I was imagining how horrified I would be if I had several dozen exes holding a yearly party to express how much they hated me…
I’m just scared that I might end up wasting someone else’s time trying to find love.
Hellavu boss really is relatable down to the last detail. It reminds me of how even though I attempt to find a person who would care, not every person can feel the same or some just don't care and some change to fit in with others
Apology Tour made everything so clear. Maybe he is still blaming himself for the death of his mom Tilla, & with that guilt and the blame from his father really struck him life a knife.
He lost Fizz & Barbie, because of his actions he started hated himself all those years, destroying his family, even though it was an accident he still feels guilty of what happened to Tilla.
He's also afraid to mess up a fresh new start of relationship and lose them again. Before everything, he has to start loving himself first, because if he doesn't he will be forever alone.
But the big question is who told Blitzo that no one will ever love him, who is this unknown royal before Stolas told him that?
Awwww, man… not the sad background music… this episode was so great and I love your take on it and Blitzø’s toxic history 😢
I'm afraid of hurting people because eventually everyone I love stops loving me.
I related a ton with Blitz in apology tour because, even with a good and functional life, I'm convinced that anyone who hasn't already created a strong bond with me and even then is just doing a roleplay with me and doesn't mean all that they say, because that's how I can be. This is especially the case with other teenagers that have "higher status," which means, large friend groups, cool, social media attached, and having partners left and right, all that I'm not. So when any school mate would talk to me or show interest in me in some way, I am 90% convinced that this is only an act that they would lead me into, only to attack with their gang if I open up too much. I keep everyone at arms length and definitely relate to Blitz's perspective on his and Stolas' relationship.
I believe when he is spying on M&M he is really spying on Moxxie mainly if not exclusively. They did both meet in prison but only one manage to find love and get married. I guess the reason why he is obsessed and a jerk to Moxxie is because he really want to ask him how he did it. Both are such opposites of each other but one is more honest with themself.
I love Georgia Dow's videos on the psychological dynamics between characters in various series, most recently within Helluva Boss.
Stolas does treat blitz as a lesser being several times. he also came up with the sex for book deal, and he has had all the power in the relationship. they are both at fault, Stolas is equally to blame as blitz is.
That's the question I've been asking myself: Why does Blitzø despise Love SO much? What's up with that? What's his problem with Love?
I think it might be tied to him causing the fire, and he feels like he doesn't deserve love because of not just his past relationships but also because he still blames himself for accidentally killing his mother and giving fizz scars and missing limbs
Although him pushing others away is just making him more alone
I think he suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder
@@apexmarveldchelluvabossfan7247 Ah. Now I understand. The reason why Blitzø doesn't deserve Love is because he STILL blames himself, for accidently started the fire on Fizzarolli's birthday, accidentally killing his own mother and giving Fizz scars and missing arms and legs. That's the reason why Blitzø doesn't deserve Love
@@apexmarveldchelluvabossfan7247 And, of course, he's pushing others away from him is just making him feel even more lonely and sad.
it makes sense you know, he keeps trying chase after Moxxie and Millie's lives in order to fill himself into said lives, but he's just hurting himself little by little, which is why Moxxie is constantly annoyed back in the pilot episode, and that time of going to meet Crimson, honestly, if Blitz really wants to change, he needs to do something about himself, like facing his past, go on some spiritual journey or something, that's how he'll move on out of that old life.
Short answer: Blitz's dad used his love for his mom and sister by saying, "If you don't do this, they won't love you."
He learned love is only transactional.
I really blame his father and probably his sister for this! Because of their horrible, ungrateful, ignorant, uncaring, cold hearted and pathetic attitudes and that they blame Blitz for the fire accident this causes poor Blitz to fear that he will never be loved or cared by anyone. Cash and Barbie are horrible people and horrible family an it's their fault!
Maybe it’s time for Blitz to say sorry to the imp in the mirror.
Imagine IMP being on the run because of Blitz’s exes.
This episode made me realize that blitz is actually so relatable.
Honestly my whole thing with Blitz issues with love is aside from his dad when has anyone ever lied to him to help push what his dad had him believe. Really wish the show went more in depth of Blitz's past family dynamic like how they did Moxxie. His mom didn't say anything but was clearly shown to want better for him and to not be a monster like Crimson.
Blitz probably imagines if he lets his gaurd down again, he might unintentionally cause another "circus disaster". Maybe he assumes all relationships go down in flames so is just a Pavlov reaction to tear anything and everyone down, romantic or not.
I...feel like I want to get rid of my kindness sometimes because I feel it gets me no where...Blitz and I..yeah we both only hear that little demon/imp in our minds telling us in our voice that we aren't good enough and have to be a certain way to feel happy.
The fact I can entirely related to Blitzø in this one episode speaks volumes of those who have philophobia (fear of love) bc not everyone can have the self confidence to be close to people and keep those relationships (I have the feeling that if I’m not useful then people leave and go away)
Honestly tho the way you described self sabotage actually was extremely well spoken it actually made me think a little bit about my own past relationship trauma
no music to start makes this video soo depressing but it fits perfect
Thanks for this video! ❤
I have been in the same state as Blitz for a long time, I know how exhausting it is not to love yourself and not give free rein to your feelings
When people talk about the Blitz, it's like I hear they talking about me, and yeah... thats tough lol
Blitz represents people who want to change because of their selfish actions. Everything he's ever done was out of compulsive habits and terrible problem solving. This episode he just learned how long and painful the road ahead is going to be for him to change.
he hates being loved because he is afraid of losing those someone that loves him
Honestly, I think the reason he hates being loved and why the moment someone says they love him is because perhaps the last thing his mother said to him was I love you. I can honestly believe that being the last thing she said when he found her in the fire.
I did not realize how similar me and Blitzø were until apology tour
It hurts and yes i was personally attacked by your self-sabotoge explanation 😡
Blitz will be able to have a healthy relationship only after he’ll learn to love himself more first.
Blitz needs to learn how to forgive himself in order to move past from his self-image of being undeserving and undesirable of love. When he did love, it was met with tragedy with the death of his mother, breakdown with his sister, and almost permanent but now patched up friendship with Fizz. Once he forgives himself, he can move on from the trauma holding him back to someone deserving of him. Other than that, this video interpretation is most likely 100% bang on of a synopsis and breakdown of his cause to react to love.
Parental neglect. My parents rejected / neglected me. I've been lonely for years and had to go through therapy. I've since let down my walls and had kids with someone. Life changed, but I still feel lonely at times.
With people like Blitz who lash out at emotions they're not pleased with, I'm sure M and M are more used to Blitz shoving people away, rather than pulling others close.
Keep that up for long enough and people around you will assume that they'd get the same treatment at any turn.
Blitz is usually too self-isolating to reach out for help. Even when he's at that low point, even Luna keeps him at arm's length. I'm sure if Blitz let his walls down and genuinely asked Moxxie and Millie for support, they'd give it. But sadly it seems he's not the sort to do that. However, that relationship can always grow and change. For Blitz's sake, I hope it does. He needs to learn to let people in without making them pay the price for being open.
@@goddessbettyd5614  tal vez Blitz esté tratando de redimirse de todos sus autosabotajes y sus tendencias autodestructivas. Se equivocó arriba. Seguro que tiene defectos, pero bueno, ¿quién de ahí abajo no los tiene?
I have actually experienced guit a lot of things in life that lead to me feel sensitive to love that I don't want to be attached to and feel more pain mentally because it's normal. I was born with few menatl issues and have trouble expressing my feelings the way I would explain them. My family was a pit of a mess that I didn't knew my real dad before because he was never there and insteade I viewed my step-dad as a real father because he was there. I did have siblings but it's more of a parent problem for me, so after I got 10 my dad finally visited me and I didn't knew him at first which lead me to be confused. I did ask him about why he wasn't there but he never answered. My mom was usually always there for me but she never showed much interest in me and was always in her world. If I did something wrong she will punish me or be angry and never much teach me the life needed skills like cooking ortelling me manners much but she did that rarely. After years being that way and getting even more hurt by people on my age almost like 10 to 12 almost and getting hurt by my friends and bullied at school and all that trauma made me truly suffer but never realized after few years later. I wasn't much happy anymore with my life. I wasn't anymore energetic, I wasn't anymore smiling and didn't felt loved. I obviuosly accepted that truth as a thing that something was wrong eith me and it was probably me acting autistic because I am autistic and the others didn't like me much and just used my innocence up snd even getting sexually abused. After getting more tears I started to bottle up more and try to act like a normal person with no mental issues seen on me as much as I could. I stayed more out of the grup of people and I began to be more quiet. I was scared to get hurt again because of love. I did talk to my mother about things that happen but she just said "I know" which hurted me so much and I only thought that she doesn't know anything much about what it actually was. I stayed my distants of my mother and didn't want to botger her much. My step-dad started to drink alcohol and bother me more and I knew that he did Illegal thinf to me and just randomly touched me and aaked if I wanted a massage to look more innicent but after I told my mom about it she divorced him which destroyed my image of my childhood forever. Now today I'm still scared of love and loving pain more then the positive way of it.
7:28 - I think Blitzø might have been in a relationship with Vassago.
It would certainly sting him if Stolas leaves him for Vassago after this episode. It might also explain how Blitzø knew of Stolas' grimoire.
It's hard for me to relate to someone when I have never experienced it myself
I've been used so many times that I personally believe that noone can love me and that hurts but your content makes me so happy and really interests me because I'm really into psychology thank you for being a la amazing person and RUclipsr
In Poland we have something called Wokulski's syndrome (not too official, it's a bit similar class like werter syndrome?) - it's named after a book character, Stanislav Wokulski who was a wealthy merchant that wanted to marry a beautiful noblewoman. The only way he could think of impressing her was money - he would buy her all the things, thinking love is something that you buy or need to deserve. That you have to prove yourself being worthy loving. Kind of reminds me of how Blitz perceives things, as he can be loved only as a good lover, only as a good bodyguard, he needs to buy it or earn it
I think its also because of his father. He only looked genuienly happy with blitz when he stole valueble things from stolas' house deeming him 'useful' to blitz's father
