I love how Stolas's eyes are usually empty red voids, but when he shows intense emotion, like when he stood up to Stella, or here at the end as he's consumed by grief, he gains little pupils, it really helps you connect with him more and makes the moment more impactful
Also! I love how here we cut back to him reaching in his office and connect to that raw emotion in his eyes with the pupils and then the pupils slowley fade and his gaze becomes empty again. So cool!
I love how the moon is depicted as stolas’ love. First small and bright, something he can hold close and dear. Then larger, something harder to hold but something still fully within his grasp. Then at the end, impossibly large but also just out of reach. It’s tragically beautiful and I love it.
This is also symbolism in that when he does the cord let go with the Blitz moon (ya know what I’m talking about right?) and then the moon gets bigger it’s like he’s losing control and connection and is trying so hard to get it back
I love how at the end the moon is impossible to hold and just out of reach knowing he can’t do anything because the ball is now in blitz’s court, but as he’s falling into the terrifying depths of unknown of what blitz will decide he promises that if blitz gives him the chance he will work in the relationship and save them but he needs blitz’s permission to do so. Gosh what a good visual representation of a complicated relationship and just that terror of knowing you need to relinquish control and are left only to hope and have faith that your partner will choose you the same as you choose them all on their own.
Pretty crazy to think that tomorrow, Just Look My Way will turn 1 year old! This song is beautiful, both in vocals and artwork, so props to the artists (visual and vocal) for creating such an immersive song!
I loved that blitz went from a LITERAL small little plaything (stolas was literally playing with the tiny moon) to something so intense and bigger than stolas over the course of the video
Y’all, don’t forget that this was originally a FANMADE song that Viv decided to make canon. Can we talk about how someone managed to capture such raw emotion through the music only?
A cool detail is how the moon, representing Blitz, went from being something small, manageable, and close, to becoming progressively getting larger, further away, and untouchable.
@Random_orphan24 if you remember back to Loo Loo Land when he uses his powers as he's carrying via out of the fun house he also has them. I agree that he probably gets them when having strong emotions but maybe when he's using his powers as well.
The fact that Stolas doesn't even say "Love me back" or "You owe me this" but only "At least acknowledge my feelings for you" is the essence of unrequired Love. The Silence in the end after the light litteraly leaves his Eyes ...hurts
@@thekeefchief3616 Blitz cares for him, but they're not quite there yet. He doesn't believe Stolas loves him, he won't have any reason to until their unspoken contract is broken. They can't love each other as any kind of equals like Fizz and Ozz until that power imbalance between them is as rectified as it can be. And you're right, Blitz is too scared to truly care for anyone. We still don't know how he blew up his relationship with Verosika.
@@thekeefchief3616yes, but for now Stolas' love is unrequited. Stolas wants a serious relationship with Blitz but Blitz is like "fxck you, stay away from me!". They aren't on the same level emotionally right now, it's going to take time.
Love how Stolas' tears turn into shooting stars, like how he told Octavia that they are actually Azathoth's tears, which are the things that never were weeping at their nonexistence. Perfectly reflects how BlitzØ and Stolas' relationship never was.
@@TheMasterofMasters1 Me too! Who wants Bryce Pinkham to perform "Just Look My Way" on _Saturday Night Live_ while either VivziePop, Richard Horvitz, Erica Lindbeck, Brandon Rogers, or Vivian Nixon host the episode?
@@ZENNI-S”is this how she’d feel? Abandoned all alone and left to fend, for herself, for some semblance of happiness that doesn’t have to end” “what’s left for me in this broken house?” “little impish plaything” wasn’t the only line changed
all this time Blitzo had a reason to think stolas just wants to fuck him because blitzo can't do his job without his book. So he is dependent on him by giving him choice of saying "no" he hopes that he can actually make him understand he means it
Not only does the VA have a gorgeous, rich voice, but those deep notes are so haunting and beautifully done. I'm obsessed with this song. I'm so mad I'm just now discovering it!!
Love how this song is just saying Stolas doesn't need Blitz to love him back, but to acknowledge his feelings and talk to him rather than leave without words
@@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox I also have the same thought. Blitz always keeps Stolas at an arm's length, evading whenever Stolas gets serious about their relationship. I really pity Stolas, as this is somewhat a toxic relationship when Stolas keeps giving and sacrificing. I hope that in the newest season, either Blitz accepts Stolas' feelings or they properly put an end to it so Stolas can turn over a new leaf after divorcing Stellar.
I agree it's the same way with angel he and stolas just want someone to know their pain with angel it is his friends and with stolas it is blitz and the o is silent
I think for Stolas was it always "dearest" since he made the deal with the book while having this bad marriage. "The impish plaything" is just an excuse to have regular contact and sex with blitzo because he does not want to see Stolas otherwise. Stolas liked him since childhood. At least this is my interpretation.
It’s surely interesting, but a little confusing. I mean, he loved him since they were kids, but in episodes 1 and 2 (happening after that) he treated him like a plaything? What happened? Why he suddenly became so horny and after that he fell in genuine love with Blitz again?
I just love how viv's team changed the original "My little impish plaything, We both made our choice" lyrics to the "but DEAREST, I MUST GIVE YOU THIS CHOICE". SO SATISFYING, so gentle and profound of their relationship, thank you.
I, personally, as a humble viewer, want to thank your team for giving us this masterpiece of a song that's not bound to fit the narrative of an episode. I'm so appreciative. The care, creativity, and passion put into this is so clearly evident and I just want to show my thanks. Thank you so much.
Stolas doesn't just want Blitzo anymore, he wants him to be happy. But here, he understands what sacrifices might need to happen for that to come to pass. He hates what might need to happen, but he's willing to face it to help the one he loves. This episode is going to break me, and I'm sure many others as well. What a song.
yeah, and he is now testing to see if this is anything more than an arrangement. to which i have a very bad feeling that Blitz isnt going to see it that way and he's gonna blow everything by doing something stupid.
Can I just say, the part where Stolas jumps from the water, and all the droplets coming off him, and reaching out only to fall, are so beautifully conveyed; showing you can give everything and still end up crashing. Gorgeous
SPOILERS!! THE FORSHADOWING "to save us both before we grow cold" Stolas rather would sacrifice himself than living without Blitz, the new episode was crazy
The way Bryce sings "Let me hold you, keep you close to me, I long to hear your voice" absolutely melts my heart and it's by far my favorite moment in the song
It's crazy that we went from Stolas and Blitzo's relationship being a crude joke to now being so complex that it delivers us this powerhouse of emotions. Really happy that Viv made this song canon (and I can now appreciate the original by Paranoid DJ), probably the most i've ever been moved by this show.
Definitely! I can't see it ending happily though. I bet that either Stolas dies and Blitz is going to realize his true feelings afterwards or he realizes and Stolas dies while protecting him from one of the sins or something.
The sheer gutwrenching emotion in Stolas' "Let me EXPLAIN" at 2:03 left me with goosebumps!! Both he and Blitzø deserve so much better than the hands they were dealt...
That shoot off the water took my breath away. The animation in that one movement was so impressive, not to mention Bryce’s vocals are so sad and beautiful
HOLY SHIT. The animation, the vocals, the trauma, the perspective. Just a masterpiece. You can really see how he comprehends and sees blitz's trauma even though he wants Blitz in his life and to love him he thinks by just giving him the crystal it will help even if that means cutting off the slightest connection they had. The line "this soul binds need to come to an end." really puts that into perspective. He just really wants to comfort and help him.
I do appreciate the fact that Stolas is actually paying attention to Blitzo and understands that he has many issues and Blitz is actively pushing him away because of said issues. Too many characters these days would usually just fall into a trope of "Why is he like this" as opposed to how Stolas is moreso saying "How can I support him" by giving him individual freedom and the show of trust with the crystal
Its always either that or a “I can fix them”. Sometimes they arent the source of the pain, they cant really be involved in their own issues and it’s best to just support them because they dont know everything
The fact that viv changed "my little impish little plaything we both made our choice" to "dearest i know better now i must give you this choice" is beautiful
It's nuts how this went from "Ha ha funny imps said swears and dick jokes" to "Awkward second puberty gay dad falls in love with his side piece and neither can articulate their emotions love drama"
2:06 is such a powerful verse. Stolas’s emotion in his voice at “I’m terrified” gave me a lump in my throat, especially since I can relate to this on a deeper level. Handling the thought of someone you love not feeling the same way and you can feel them feeling trapped in the relationship hurts. But losing them hurts more. Props to the voice actor who gave this character a realistic portrayal of grief and understanding.
This is absolutely incredible. The gorgeous visuals, the haunting music, the pain in Stolas' voice, you can instantly understand exactly how bad he wants Blitzø, how he wishes Blitzø would tell him how he feels, and how Stolas wonders if he's the problem. I'm tearing up so much, and even more hyped for episode 8.
@@Closo__ random links in a yt comment reply section are never good especially when posted as early in a video's upload as these were. Just a precaution for anyone that gets random links, especially one claiming part 2 with a stolen profile pic. They use vivs profile pic as a red herring since most people like to just glance and see her profile picture so they assume it's safe.
Didn't even know it was the 1 year anniversary, good job on dropping that newest episode bombshell right before the anni. God Stolas is literally the best character in any piece of media I've ever consumed.
Vivziepop has successfully created a fanbase that can actually generate top-tier content and storytelling that she can then pick and choose from to elevate into canon stories and moments. Just incredible all around.
@@dakforest5344 Yep! PARANOiD DJ! His original version is a little longer with some different lyrics. And even though this version is absolutely beautiful, I like the orginal lyrics better. It actually delves into Stolas' selfishness and sense of entitlement which he later realizes is the problem... instead of trying to absolve him of it right away.
The lyric changes from the original song just make this so much more painful and emotional - we see that stolas doesnt just treat Blitzo as his "impish plaything" but as his dearest, The voicecracks full of pain are so powerful and expressive. So glad Paranoid DJ got to have this song animated. Was in tears when i saw this for the first time. I absolutely love that Stolas sees Blitzo as vulnerable and acknowledges that hes in pain and puts his walls up but hes still trying to fight to show him he loves him and he yearns for him. Cant express how gorgeous everything about this video is.
Paranoid DJ must be so proud to know their work is being shown in the actual Helluva Boss universe! It actually being canon that Stolas feels that way... Bryce Pinkham did an excellent job at portraying Stolas' emotions and the animation was amazing. Honestly, hats off to everyone who worked on this!
You know what I love most about the moon symbolism? The moon directly affects the tides. So even when Stolas falls into and starts sinking in the water, the moon is still affecting him, even though it’s so far away.
Another thing too about love and the moon. You probably know it but the Japanese saying 月が綺麗ですね | tsuki ga kirei desu ne. Normally meaning The moon is beautiful isn’t it? Which also has a hidden meaning of “I love you” Thought I share. Don’t know if it relates to
Bryce Pinkham actually made Stolas' heartbroken voice sound realistic. I like it whenever voice actors and voice actresses show off the range of emotions in their characters' voices. It brings life to the characters' voices.
I feel like Stolas saying "And I find myself drawn from that path, on those dazzling moonlit nights" Was subtle foreshadowing that he strayed too far from his duties with giving Blitz access to his book -- And that he one day there would be consequences for his actions.
Re-watching after Mastermind and I just realized the same - also the way he pulls the moon away from Earth. Even though this song was originally fan made, they definitely used it and the visuals here to do a lot of foreshadowing. Stolas ignores the Earth entirely for the moon, when his role was to observe the Earth sky etc. Blitzø drew him from the path of what he was "supposed" to do. I've also realized that the "before we grow cold," which I had thought meant "before the feelings between us grow cold," might've been a "before we die."
Lyrics: It is expected An oath by blood to hold the tome And the starlight passes overhead Fuels all the skills I've honed I am a guardian A watcher of these ancient rites Yet I find myself drawn from that path On those dazzling moonlit nights Let me hold you Keep you close to me I long to hear your voice But dearest I know better now I must give you this choice I can give you everything you need Or do you want to hear me plead? Just look my way Just look my way Is there something more that I don't know That you won't say 'tik we've both grown cold? Just say Please stay Look my way This unspoken contract A deed we forged for mutual gain If that's all this was when you're not here What is this rooted pain? I don't care that you're of lower station Or primed to date my dark temptations Why can't you understand? Let me explain And I'm terrified As I cry To make this feelings true What's left for me and my broken heart If I cannot have you? Unless its me? And no matter what in this world I could give Its not enough To get through the walls you've conjured up to live? Is this what you feel Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend What you are So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind, on our souls Needs to end I will try to make amends For making you means to an end So look my way Please look my way And if there's something more that I don't know? I'll save us both before we both grow cold If you'll stay And you say Look my way Edit:sorry but I don't speak English so I can't reply you
I love so much how Vivzie made this cannon. It's so telling of the shows relationship with the fans as well as the relationship between Stolas and Blitzo. It's so beautifully done, as well and I love that she changed the lyrics to match things better. I adore this so much. The show is growing and it's amazing.
@@BeckyNosferatu Which is kinda shit when you realize she's not linking or shouting him out whatsoever. There are people who have no idea ParanoidDJ did this and is giving Viv all the credit.
This is actually beautiful, it’s terrifying how a show that was based on murder and sex jokes has such a tragic and complex twist on love, I am here for every single bit of it
tbh this is the natural way of things beings are complex you can be hypersexual pervert and have immense deep complexity to you at the same time someone can be extremly shallow but most shows don't show the ugly.
Bryce's voice is simply incredible, he totally conveys the pain that the character is feeling, that's really admirable. The totally fluid animation is worthy of a lot of applause to the animators!! the melody, instrumental of the song is very exciting. I cried listening to this. Thank you for making the song canon!! Looking forward to getting much more emotional watching the episode!!! 🌙✨️
The way you can hear his voice break constantly but he maintains the beautiful notes... It's also really tense to see that he finally has the crystal and he's so scared on what to do next. Really makes me excited for the next episode.
Ozzie sending that gemstone was such a good touch, seeing as he's going through a similar situation as Stolas. I might be a little behind on Helluva but I just like that attention to detail for those two. Absolutely beautifully done. I love the representation of Blitz being the moon that revolves around Stolas, the music, the song, and the colors were just gorgeous ❤
Honestly I think Ozzie and Fitz truly are stolas and blizø but better, cuz unlike him and blizø they communicate better and have something a lot healthier, they're what him and blizø could be if they communicated better
I absolutely agree. I feel like with Ozzie and Fitz, it's the feeling of "What We Could Be" where with Stolas and Blitz it's "We're Not There Yet" and us Viewers are just shaking our fists and going *Do the thing* But I also really like all these trip and fumbles they have cause their relationship did start out as a tit-for-tat agreement, one for monetary gain and the other for physical gratification and you can't fix that right away. But I'm also still shaking my fist and saying just do the thing.
That's the stone stolas asked for from Ozzy to give to blits so he doesn't need his grimwrar to teleport to the mortalrelm and hes scared that when he gives it to him blits wont need stolas anymore
@@emilywingo37721. A few writing tips as help! His name's written *Blitzø or w/o ø, it's *grimoire not grimwawr, are you a cat? Jk lol and *mortal realm 2. I agree with your comment, i think Blitzø will defi misunderstand Stolas' intentions, it'll defi be tense and emotional and even tho i want them to be together, as besties and boyfriends, it'll take a lot of time, but they should be able to love each other better, to get the best out of each other and be the best for themselves too, if M&M and Fizz and Ozz can then they can too, or it'll stay the same old same old..🙂🥲
This made me cry. The line "but dearest, i know better now, i must give you this choice" shows such incredible character growth from Stolas, and the song conveys such emotional agony, it is a beautiful piece, and i couldn't be prouder of Vivzie and her crew for crwating such deep meaning and entanglement. Congratulations, you have earned every award that you will surely gain in the future.
@@lemonpaperplanes No, they didn't but they contributed to the piece through the animation, and I still think letting fan work become canon is admirable
There is just something so soft and real about Stolas calling Blitz 'Dearest'... no silly/annoying pet name... jusy raw emotion... gets me every time and such a good addition to a song I have already loved for a long time. Didn't know I needed this today but I truly did...
This song has just added a new layer of sad to their relationship, because after this it's genuinely heart shattering to see Stolas accidentally mess up and hurt Blitz (think the casual racism, or the way he hid his face in Ozzie's breaking Blitz's heart as it crushed the hope he had of them being anything more). They love each other so much, so to remember how Stolas emotionally hurt his lover and how Stolas think they're the worst thing in their relationship is..AHHHHHRGHH😭😭😭
it's saying a lot that they changed the original lyrics from "impish plaything" to this with further knowledge of where stolas' arc leads! plus it's much more fitting for this unraveling of desperate sincerity.
The way Blitzø is just broken due to the past traumatic events, losing everyone he loved makes him not want to love anymore. The way Stolas understood and chose to give him the choice whether he wants to be free or finally fall into his arms. They are meant for eachother
Ugh, I wanna give Stolas all the hugs now, all this pain he's going through. This was masterfully animated, and Bryce's singing was emotionally powerful on every word.
I'm actually kind of liking Stolas's character growth so far. He started off as this creepy cheating weirdo using his book to get Blitzø into physical relationship to someone with actual regrets and trying to fix them. Yes, his official backstory is kind of cliche, but I'll take that over expecting us to sympathize with a cheating weirdo for no reason any day.
Stola's is by FAR the best character. IMO only Husk is a close second. They're 2 extremely damaged souls that have managed to still be bathed in kindness and even somewhat in an almost virtue-like love for everyone.
2:33 I love this scene, especially the detail of the string, my theory is its based off a Chinese proverb: "an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance"
Exactly! I was trying to see which finger stolas had it on for this reason and then I realized he only has four fingers :') but what I can confirm is that he wears it on the same finger as Lucifer wore his wedding ring in Hazbin Hotel.
This song really captures the pain Stolas is feeling and it really makes you feel something. The art in this video was absolutely stunning and I’m breathless because of it. I can’t wait to see Blitzø’s reaction to Stolas gifting him the Asmodean Crystal.
This is a masterpiece it really embodies Stolas wanting to be with Blitzo and not knowing if he feels the same or if he’s the issues and even relating to Stella and how she must feel 10/10
In a way, this was stolas' way of saying how he was going to help biltz. This literally mentioned the episode where stolas cut the contract with blitz and encouraged him to stay 2:49 "I'll grant you this mercy, this bind" ❤
Lyrics: It is expected An oath by blood to hold the tome And the starlight passes overhead Fuels all the skills I've honed I am a guardian A watcher of these ancient rites Yet I find myself drawn from that path On those dazzling moonlit nights Let me hold you Keep you close to me I long to hear your voice But dearest I know better now I must give you this choice I can give you everything you need Or do you want to hear me plead?

The team did an absolutely amazing job portraying Stolas's pain and heartbreak, and I really wish we can see this song an a future episode because IT'S JUST THAT GOOD.
This song sends chills down my spine just hearing how hurt stolas is and all the emotions he's going through.This really hypes you up for the next episode. A masterpiece
I loved the song when it was posted 2 years ago as a fan made song, but further loved it when it became official. That version is still up thankfully, and shows a different timeline. Where he chooses to fix things with stella, though the song was made before we learned of how she abused him prior to the cheating so she seemed more like the victim initially.
This is absolutely a gift for the viewers of helluva. The animation and everything is amazing and I adore how Bryce delivered stolas’ character throughout this. It’s truest wonderful so thank you Vivziepop and everyone who helped animate this for the amazing visuals and Bryce for the amazingly delivered vocals!!
WHY IS BRYCE SO PHENOMENAL AT SINGING!?!? I would listen to an entire album sung by this man. Such a beautiful voice and the music video is **chefs kiss** Amazing animation!
Right? It’s what he does best! He brings so much raw emotion that feels so authentic every single time he sings as Stolas! Like you said, Bryce Pinkham solo album when?
@@sir-dame-sander I love that cast album! That’s one of my top 10 favorite musicals! Though that may be because of Bryce. LOL. And the Tony Awards performance for that show is fantastic! It may have won the Tony for Best Musical, but Bryce was SO robbed of the Best Leading Actor Tony! But that’s just my opinion though.
One thing I love about the Spindlehorse team is that they see fanmade content and recognize how well-made and fitting it is to the story and find a way to make it canon, 100/10
To think Stolas originally was just some horny owl and turned into such a beautiful and complex character amazes me to no end. This is a truly powerful song and it’s sung and animated perfectly to suit the character as a whole. Thank you for this masterpiece!!!
You can't forget, though, that he's had an interest in Blitz since they were both young. horny or not, there was definitely an attraction on his side. But he's definitely grown since when we first met him. I feel as though he was acting desperate(?) cause that's what he believed Blitz liked or hoped that would keep Blitz around more. Nevertheless, I love his growth ❤😢
Sometimes.. People put on masks and Stolas' mask was being a horny owl. He craved love and affection for so long. He feels guilty but thats the only way he thought could receive it. Blitz blames him but Blitz objectified himself and their interactions then dumped the blame on Stolas alone. Blitz stole from him and dumped him twice. Stolas tried to adjust to him and got blamed and burned in turn.
Just beautiful, simply beautiful. Stolas pouring his heart out. Letting his feelings out of his love for Blitz. Stolas really changed and wants to have a serious relationship with Blitz
I completely understand what you’re saying. At first, Stolas just seemed like comedy to me, but now, he’s such a developed and incredible character, arguably even more so than some of the most main characters.
I like how he says "i dont care if your a lower stations" shows how much he cares for blitzo, which i cant help but see these two finally be together. This pains my heart seeing stolas doing anything just to be noticed, god this is making me tear up so much. GOOD ON YA VIVI AND YOUR CREW!!
The sad part is that solas deserves better than blitz. Blitz, while a fun character has never been invested in stolas. He's got issues he needs to work through before he can be truly selfless. Stolas is was just desperate, but at least he's acknowledging the unfairness of this.
@@Nstone53 Not quite. Blitzo is kind of a "broken character". Good and lovable on the inside, but scarred (and scered!) on the inside. Blitzo cries to not be alone, but has toxic way of understanding relationships. What IMO jest wonderful in HelluvaBoss is that Stolas can see thouh that outside and fight for someone he loves. Plus Bitzo is afraid of Stolas social position (seen in that bad trp on thuth serum).
You know shit is real when Stolas' white pupils are visible. The raw emotion from this song was enough to bring tears to my eyes, and the story it tells with Stolas' love for the moon (Blitzø) growing more and more, but as it grows, it becomes harder to control and further out of his reach. Well done to everyone who was a part of this ❤
I am crying so bad... I think that, in a personal level, I bet many of us can relate to either Blitz or Stolas (or both like me) in this agony of loving someone so much and unconditionally but also being so fkng afraid of love and hurthing the ones you love... thinking you're disgrace or that you're not worth of receiving love just because they like your soul... It's agonizing. This made me cry because I understand, I can relate... Can't wait for the following 3 new episodes this year🤧❤💙
This was beautifully animated. Huge credits to Paranoid DJ for creating this beautiful song, and Bryce just proves again that he has an extraordinary voice.
trying to fill the replies with more than bots haha, but absolutely! I actually started crying when I saw this. I've been following Paranoid DJ ever since Use Me Up blew up, and I highly recommend ALL of his stuff (not just helluva boss!), he's an extremely talented voice actor and musician.
When Stolas flew toward the moon/Blitzø at 3:02, literal chills were sent down my spine. With the beautiful animation, amazing performance by Bryce, and powerful lyrics written, I’m not surprised the goosebumps are still lingering even after finishing the song
I know, and when he fell back, you could feel it in your chest as if you were on rides at a fair all day and are now trying to relax at home, only to still feel the falling. Now that is animation well-done.
Literally speechless. This was beyond beautiful, the animation, the song and Bryce was just absolutely amazing and I was stunned by how good this was. Bryce has an amazing voice and I swear he's trying to make me cry everytime he sings as Stolas he is that good.
For real! I'll never forgive animation studios for ditching 2D. 3D can be great but you really miss out on the feeling that truly amazing 2D can give a person.
@@naytube2.068 Yeah Although I Blame Disney more than DreamWorks I mean DreamWorks Couldn’t do 2D as good enough as 3D so They let it go and that’s reasonable But Disney Could Still do, Do More , Do better, but they Didn’t And Look what they’ve got cuz of It
Hearing this originally fanmade masterpiece performed with the Amazing nature of Bryce's wide yet precise vocal range is truly stunning. The animations are gorgeous as always and strengthen the effect of the vocal performance even more! Definitely one of the best pieces of media published in 2023.
@@aspidistra3210he's credited at the end of the video :) he made it 2 years ago, around the end of season one, you can still listen to the original version on his channel, he's done many other Helluva/ hazbin songs
@@annafowdyyeah, he was in the Hazbin hotel pilot as a overlord but changed, then in the helluva boss pilot you could see him being more of a villain with a lower and deeper voice
I really like the metaphor of the moon and how big it is compared to Stolas throughout the video. It mirrors the power dynamics between Stolas and Blitzø, at the start with Stolas holding all the power, then Stolas putting himself at Blitzø’s level when he finally tries to look deeper and see what Blitzø needs and his walls. Then the moon grows larger than Stolas as he intends to give Blitzø the crystal so he doesn’t have to depend on him anymore. And now the power in the relationship shifted towards Blitzø. It’s up to him now wether the relationship continues or not
@UTTPENDOFQSMP dude you're saying this in reply to like every comment, you like the show you like, others like this show, and some people probably like both. There's nothing cringe about any of it.
Imagine an animator from the 1920’s watching this and seeing how far art has come. Bryce knocked it out of the park again. The animation is amazingly smooth, and the visuals are stunning. I hope that the fan who wrote the song is having the best time ever, knowing that their beautiful song inspired this.
That's a brilliant thought. They'd be able to see the distant descendant of their work in Stolas' motion, able to perceive they laid the bottom of this mighty pyramid we have built.
Wow, I am in utter shock! The animation, the music, the vocals, I can feel Stolas’ pain! I love them so much and I can’t wait for the next episode! Bravo, Vivziepop and Spindlehorse, you outdid yourselves with this!
@@Eonblaster946 assuming you've seen the full show, it's a reference to s1 ep7 "Ozzie's" where stolas says this line in response to a character in a tv show he was watching. the exact timestamp for this is around 3:38.
I almost cried, stolas understands blitz has his walls up but he still doesn't his best to show blitz his love, I can't wait to see this relationship develop. Simply amazing! Bravo to the creators, actors, and musical talents 💚 thank you for such a wonderful show.
I love how Stolas's eyes are usually empty red voids, but when he shows intense emotion, like when he stood up to Stella, or here at the end as he's consumed by grief, he gains little pupils, it really helps you connect with him more and makes the moment more impactful
It’s amazing how much emotion is in just those red voids, it’s like I can see pupils ngl
Also! I love how here we cut back to him reaching in his office and connect to that raw emotion in his eyes with the pupils and then the pupils slowley fade and his gaze becomes empty again. So cool!
Ngl never noticed that till now that is insane how much I don’t notice when I’m consumed by storyline
I completely agree
I cant really see them tho
I love how the moon is depicted as stolas’ love. First small and bright, something he can hold close and dear. Then larger, something harder to hold but something still fully within his grasp. Then at the end, impossibly large but also just out of reach. It’s tragically beautiful and I love it.
I'm not surprised he had to contemplate giving blitz the osmodius crystal probably going to see him give it to blitz in the next episode
wow😮😮😮😮
Yes absolutely beautiful
This is also symbolism in that when he does the cord let go with the Blitz moon (ya know what I’m talking about right?) and then the moon gets bigger it’s like he’s losing control and connection and is trying so hard to get it back
I love how at the end the moon is impossible to hold and just out of reach knowing he can’t do anything because the ball is now in blitz’s court, but as he’s falling into the terrifying depths of unknown of what blitz will decide he promises that if blitz gives him the chance he will work in the relationship and save them but he needs blitz’s permission to do so.
Gosh what a good visual representation of a complicated relationship and just that terror of knowing you need to relinquish control and are left only to hope and have faith that your partner will choose you the same as you choose them all on their own.
You can tell Bryce put his heart and soul into this song. You can hear the emotion in his voice. He did an amazing job.

Pretty crazy to think that tomorrow, Just Look My Way will turn 1 year old! This song is beautiful, both in vocals and artwork, so props to the artists (visual and vocal) for creating such an immersive song!
Thats what i was just thinking! I remember watching this over and over while waiting for the full moon episode!!!
Time flies..
Time flew, I remember how badly we wanted more after this and the wait was so worth it 😭 such a beautiful song too..
What really??? It feels like it just came out yesterday, especially now with the new episode.
@ChickNnugg3t i think they mean the original
I loved that blitz went from a LITERAL small little plaything (stolas was literally playing with the tiny moon) to something so intense and bigger than stolas over the course of the video
ONG I JUST NOTICED
Love can be terrifying when it's unexpected
@@falconeshieldI’m gonna be thinking about this comment for atleast a month 💔 so very very true tho
And that he can't quite reach in the end.
And by the end, stolas feels so small. He feels so crushed by being completely unacknowledged
Y’all, don’t forget that this was originally a FANMADE song that Viv decided to make canon. Can we talk about how someone managed to capture such raw emotion through the music only?
Really?
@@veneracirjeu5830YES REALLY YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS VIDEO
Bro I LOST it when I saw this because I NEVER expected this song to become cannon holy crap
Well, kind of. I'm pretty sure Paranoid DJ actually works on Hazbin Hotel, but not Helluva Boss. I could be wrong, so do correct me if I'm wrong
What's the original?? Or WHERE is the original? Gods, that's so fucking cool!
A cool detail is how the moon, representing Blitz, went from being something small, manageable, and close, to becoming progressively getting larger, further away, and untouchable.
Oh wow how cool I didn't even realize 👀👀
I was hoping someone else would notice this! I loved that too 😢 and that Blitzø is on the new moon but they met on the full moon,, ruinous
Its kind of poetic for someone (Stolas) that can touch the skies and stars. But cant touch Blitzos feelings
A detail I noticed also is that when stolas is having like extreme emotion like sadness he gets pupils so yea cool detail
@Random_orphan24 if you remember back to Loo Loo Land when he uses his powers as he's carrying via out of the fun house he also has them. I agree that he probably gets them when having strong emotions but maybe when he's using his powers as well.
Here after Mastermind 😢 Stolas really put it *all* on the line for Blitz.. "Ill save us both before we grow cold"
this song was foreshadowing
The fact that Stolas doesn't even say "Love me back" or "You owe me this" but only "At least acknowledge my feelings for you" is the essence of unrequired Love. The Silence in the end after the light litteraly leaves his Eyes ...hurts
I’m pretty sur blitzo does love him he just can’t stop pushing people away
@@thekeefchief3616 Blitz cares for him, but they're not quite there yet. He doesn't believe Stolas loves him, he won't have any reason to until their unspoken contract is broken. They can't love each other as any kind of equals like Fizz and Ozz until that power imbalance between them is as rectified as it can be. And you're right, Blitz is too scared to truly care for anyone. We still don't know how he blew up his relationship with Verosika.
you are a friggin poet i cant
@@thekeefchief3616yes, but for now Stolas' love is unrequited. Stolas wants a serious relationship with Blitz but Blitz is like "fxck you, stay away from me!". They aren't on the same level emotionally right now, it's going to take time.
😭😭😭
Love how Stolas' tears turn into shooting stars, like how he told Octavia that they are actually Azathoth's tears, which are the things that never were weeping at their nonexistence. Perfectly reflects how BlitzØ and Stolas' relationship never was.

@@ZENNI-S”is this how she’d feel? Abandoned all alone and left to fend, for herself, for some semblance of happiness that doesn’t have to end” “what’s left for me in this broken house?” “little impish plaything” wasn’t the only line changed
@@Critters-today oh I just read it but cool
So true
all this time Blitzo had a reason to think stolas just wants to fuck him because blitzo can't do his job without his book. So he is dependent on him
by giving him choice of saying "no" he hopes that he can actually make him understand he means it
Not only does the VA have a gorgeous, rich voice, but those deep notes are so haunting and beautifully done. I'm obsessed with this song. I'm so mad I'm just now discovering it!!
Bryce Pinkman is really talented.
Love how this song is just saying Stolas doesn't need Blitz to love him back, but to acknowledge his feelings and talk to him rather than leave without words
Ew trans
He doesn't *need* Blitz's love, he wants it. But if its not something he can have, he at the very least wants closure.
@@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox I also have the same thought. Blitz always keeps Stolas at an arm's length, evading whenever Stolas gets serious about their relationship. I really pity Stolas, as this is somewhat a toxic relationship when Stolas keeps giving and sacrificing. I hope that in the newest season, either Blitz accepts Stolas' feelings or they properly put an end to it so Stolas can turn over a new leaf after divorcing Stellar.
I agree it's the same way with angel he and stolas just want someone to know their pain with angel it is his friends and with stolas it is blitz and the o is silent
@@tatinh9885OH HOW YOUVE BEEN DISSAPOINTED 😭😭😭😭 I just came back I’m currently crying
I love how they changed “impish play thing” to “dearest”. It displays his growth and his genuine care for Blitz’s feelings
Same. It’s so good 🥹
I think for Stolas was it always "dearest" since he made the deal with the book while having this bad marriage. "The impish plaything" is just an excuse to have regular contact and sex with blitzo because he does not want to see Stolas otherwise. Stolas liked him since childhood. At least this is my interpretation.
@@AurieI Yeah but I still understand why the change was made since he would definitely not call Blitzø a plaything after the events of OZZIE’S.
It’s surely interesting, but a little confusing. I mean, he loved him since they were kids, but in episodes 1 and 2 (happening after that) he treated him like a plaything? What happened? Why he suddenly became so horny and after that he fell in genuine love with Blitz again?
@@susankornas2613 He overplayed the physical aspect of their relationship because he thought that’s what Blitzø wanted.
I just love how viv's team changed the original "My little impish plaything, We both made our choice" lyrics to the "but DEAREST, I MUST GIVE YOU THIS CHOICE". SO SATISFYING, so gentle and profound of their relationship, thank you.

Thank you so much.
Stolas doesn't just want Blitzo anymore, he wants him to be happy. But here, he understands what sacrifices might need to happen for that to come to pass. He hates what might need to happen, but he's willing to face it to help the one he loves.
This episode is going to break me, and I'm sure many others as well. What a song.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE OMG
We will all be broken by this episode, good luck
:0 I never knew you watched helluva boss
yeah, and he is now testing to see if this is anything more than an arrangement. to which i have a very bad feeling that Blitz isnt going to see it that way and he's gonna blow everything by doing something stupid.
Same
Bryce absolutely KILLING IT once again; he's so emotive when he sings, you can FEEL the pain in his voice.
Strangely expressive for a demon bird
Ikr I love it. To me in musical numbers the emotion is what makes it more powerful especially with a sad song
Can I just say, the part where Stolas jumps from the water, and all the droplets coming off him, and reaching out only to fall, are so beautifully conveyed; showing you can give everything and still end up crashing. Gorgeous
Really giving the Icarus flying too close to the sun vibes

Damn. The amount of emotion he was able to put into his singing. So much respect, the artist on this show should have so much respect for their work.
3:02 The most beautiful part in my opinion, both in terms of the performance of the song and the animation
I agree. The way they portray his emotion and draw the water is both very amazing and very sad.
It's crazy that we went from Stolas and Blitzo's relationship being a crude joke to now being so complex that it delivers us this powerhouse of emotions. Really happy that Viv made this song canon (and I can now appreciate the original by Paranoid DJ), probably the most i've ever been moved by this show.
Definitely! I can't see it ending happily though. I bet that either Stolas dies and Blitz is going to realize his true feelings afterwards or he realizes and Stolas dies while protecting him from one of the sins or something.

@@RoobeeMoonstone just a bot. Better to either ignore or report them.
The sheer gutwrenching emotion in Stolas'
"Let me EXPLAIN" at 2:03 left me with goosebumps!! Both he and Blitzø deserve so much better than the hands they were dealt...
The sheer desperation and strain on the vocal chords on "Let" is incredible. My favorite line delivery of the song.
The “terrified “ right after is also incredible
OR it seems like Blitzø doesn't understand and/or acknowledge his feelings and Stolas is begging for him to listen
That shoot off the water took my breath away. The animation in that one movement was so impressive, not to mention Bryce’s vocals are so sad and beautiful
Anyone here after the mastermind episode
You know it… 😢
How can I not...
Yep
meeee
TTnTT yes
HOLY SHIT. The animation, the vocals, the trauma, the perspective. Just a masterpiece. You can really see how he comprehends and sees blitz's trauma even though he wants Blitz in his life and to love him he thinks by just giving him the crystal it will help even if that means cutting off the slightest connection they had. The line "this soul binds need to come to an end." really puts that into perspective. He just really wants to comfort and help him.
It’s finally completed: ruclips.net/video/j2hOdE14CxY/видео.htmlsi=zvKhYkcEbCrZmxPW
I do appreciate the fact that Stolas is actually paying attention to Blitzo and understands that he has many issues and Blitz is actively pushing him away because of said issues. Too many characters these days would usually just fall into a trope of "Why is he like this" as opposed to how Stolas is moreso saying "How can I support him" by giving him individual freedom and the show of trust with the crystal
Its always either that or a “I can fix them”. Sometimes they arent the source of the pain, they cant really be involved in their own issues and it’s best to just support them because they dont know everything
The fact that viv changed "my little impish little plaything we both made our choice" to "dearest i know better now i must give you this choice" is beautiful
Viv also removed and changed the part where he laments about either Stella or Via. And I feel like that makes the song more beautiful
I didn't notice something was changed but I did wonder where the impish plaything part is

@@DAWIDOSOSIn the original video (the fan made version made by paranoid DJ) in 0:55 it's there

Stolas’s character development is amazing, he went from horny comic relief to one of the most tragic and beautiful characters in the show
Someone give that bird a hug!! I can’t stand seeing him so sad!! 😢
We all have to start somewhere. All paths to understanding begin with oversimplifications, bordering on lies taught to you as a joke.
Wow. I like this.
i dont think can be called development since he hasn't actually changed. its just that certain parts of the character were not revealed until later.
Therefore - to us - he changed.
2:06 is such a powerful verse. Stolas’s emotion in his voice at “I’m terrified” gave me a lump in my throat, especially since I can relate to this on a deeper level. Handling the thought of someone you love not feeling the same way and you can feel them feeling trapped in the relationship hurts. But losing them hurts more. Props to the voice actor who gave this character a realistic portrayal of grief and understanding.
@UTTPENDOFQSMP L
It was the shift up a key back to the minor key was it for me. Quite powerful music theory.

This is absolutely incredible. The gorgeous visuals, the haunting music, the pain in Stolas' voice, you can instantly understand exactly how bad he wants Blitzø, how he wishes Blitzø would tell him how he feels, and how Stolas wonders if he's the problem.

So glad Paranoid DJ got to have this song animated. Was in tears when i saw this for the first time. I absolutely love that Stolas sees Blitzo as vulnerable and acknowledges that hes in pain and puts his walls up but hes still trying to fight to show him he loves him and he yearns for him.

You know what I love most about the moon symbolism? The moon directly affects the tides. So even when Stolas falls into and starts sinking in the water, the moon is still affecting him, even though it’s so far away.

😭😭😭
Another thing too about love and the moon. You probably know it but the Japanese saying 月が綺麗ですね | tsuki ga kirei desu ne. Normally meaning The moon is beautiful isn’t it? Which also has a hidden meaning of “I love you”
Thought I share. Don’t know if it relates to

I feel like Stolas saying "And I find myself drawn from that path, on those dazzling moonlit nights" Was subtle foreshadowing that he strayed too far from his duties with giving Blitz access to his book -- And that he one day there would be consequences for his actions.
Re-watching after Mastermind and I just realized the same - also the way he pulls the moon away from Earth. Even though this song was originally fan made, they definitely used it and the visuals here to do a lot of foreshadowing. Stolas ignores the Earth entirely for the moon, when his role was to observe the Earth sky etc. Blitzø drew him from the path of what he was "supposed" to do. I've also realized that the "before we grow cold," which I had thought meant "before the feelings between us grow cold," might've been a "before we die."
Lyrics:
It is expected
An oath by blood to hold the tome
And the starlight passes overhead
Fuels all the skills I've honed
I am a guardian
A watcher of these ancient rites
Yet I find myself drawn from that path
On those dazzling moonlit nights
Let me hold you
Keep you close to me
I long to hear your voice
But dearest
I know better now I must give you this choice
I can give you everything you need
Or do you want to hear me plead?
Just look my way
Just look my way
Is there something more that I don't know
That you won't say 'tik we've both grown cold?
Just say
Please stay
Look my way
This unspoken contract
A deed we forged for mutual gain
If that's all this was when you're not here
What is this rooted pain?
I don't care that you're of lower station
Or primed to date my dark temptations
Why can't you understand?
Let me explain
And I'm terrified
As I cry
To make this feelings true
What's left for me and my broken heart
If I cannot have you?
Unless its me?
And no matter what in this world I could give
Its not enough
To get through the walls you've conjured up to live?
Is this what you feel
Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend
What you are
So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind, on our souls
Needs to end
I will try to make amends
For making you means to an end
So look my way
Please look my way
And if there's something more that I don't know?
I'll save us both before we both grow cold
If you'll stay
And you say
Look my way

The way you can hear his voice break constantly but he maintains the beautiful notes... It's also really tense to see that he finally has the crystal and he's so scared on what to do next. Really makes me excited for the next episode.
the only song i know of where voice cracks improve the song
When he says “let” in 2:03 sounded stressed and heart wrenching…
It's so sad...
Now after watching ep11, I think the falling into water reflects his new fall from power! And Blitz did finally look his way!
Ozzie sending that gemstone was such a good touch, seeing as he's going through a similar situation as Stolas. I might be a little behind on Helluva but I just like that attention to detail for those two.
Absolutely beautifully done. I love the representation of Blitz being the moon that revolves around Stolas, the music, the song, and the colors were just gorgeous ❤
Honestly I think Ozzie and Fitz truly are stolas and blizø but better, cuz unlike him and blizø they communicate better and have something a lot healthier, they're what him and blizø could be if they communicated better
I absolutely agree. I feel like with Ozzie and Fitz, it's the feeling of "What We Could Be" where with Stolas and Blitz it's "We're Not There Yet" and us Viewers are just shaking our fists and going *Do the thing*
But I also really like all these trip and fumbles they have cause their relationship did start out as a tit-for-tat agreement, one for monetary gain and the other for physical gratification and you can't fix that right away.
But I'm also still shaking my fist and saying just do the thing.
That's the stone stolas asked for from Ozzy to give to blits so he doesn't need his grimwrar to teleport to the mortalrelm and hes scared that when he gives it to him blits wont need stolas anymore

2. I agree with your comment, i think Blitzø will defi misunderstand Stolas' intentions, it'll defi be tense and emotional and even tho i want them to be together, as besties and boyfriends, it'll take a lot of time, but they should be able to love each other better, to get the best out of each other and be the best for themselves too, if M&M and Fizz and Ozz can then they can too, or it'll stay the same old same old..🙂🥲

There is just something so soft and real about Stolas calling Blitz 'Dearest'... no silly/annoying pet name... jusy raw emotion... gets me every time and such a good addition to a song I have already loved for a long time. Didn't know I needed this today but I truly did...
This song has just added a new layer of sad to their relationship, because after this it's genuinely heart shattering to see Stolas accidentally mess up and hurt Blitz (think the casual racism, or the way he hid his face in Ozzie's breaking Blitz's heart as it crushed the hope he had of them being anything more). They love each other so much, so to remember how Stolas emotionally hurt his lover and how Stolas think they're the worst thing in their relationship is..AHHHHHRGHH😭😭😭
it's saying a lot that they changed the original lyrics from "impish plaything" to this with further knowledge of where stolas' arc leads! plus it's much more fitting for this unraveling of desperate sincerity.
The way Blitzø is just broken due to the past traumatic events, losing everyone he loved makes him not want to love anymore. The way Stolas understood and chose to give him the choice whether he wants to be free or finally fall into his arms. They are meant for eachother
Ugh, I wanna give Stolas all the hugs now, all this pain he's going through. This was masterfully animated, and Bryce's singing was emotionally powerful on every word.
I'm actually kind of liking Stolas's character growth so far. He started off as this creepy cheating weirdo using his book to get Blitzø into physical relationship to someone with actual regrets and trying to fix them. Yes, his official backstory is kind of cliche, but I'll take that over expecting us to sympathize with a cheating weirdo for no reason any day.

2:33 I love this scene, especially the detail of the string, my theory is its based off a Chinese proverb: "an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance"
That's exactly what I was thinking
IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE
Exactly! I was trying to see which finger stolas had it on for this reason and then I realized he only has four fingers :') but what I can confirm is that he wears it on the same finger as Lucifer wore his wedding ring in Hazbin Hotel.
It's a common soulmate trope in fanfiction as well, and I actually didn't know it came from a Chinese proverb until today. The more you know.
I’ve read about that one when I was a kid
This is genuinely my favorite song from the hellaverse. Its just so sad and dramatic watching how tragic their relationship is. Its just so perfect.
This song really captures the pain Stolas is feeling and it really makes you feel something. The art in this video was absolutely stunning and I’m breathless because of it. I can’t wait to see Blitzø’s reaction to Stolas gifting him the Asmodean Crystal.
He’ll be confused and shocked for sure
I didn't remember about that. Thanks for reminding me
Agreed. So nice I hope things work for them.
ep 8 or ep 1
Okay, I haven't seen anyone comment on this yet:
The way that water was animated when he jumped up to reach for the moon/Blitz was BEAUTIFUL.
My favorite visual part of the video to be honest - the effect is breathtaking. And the sudden color shift in the background only emphasizes it.
Literally just about to say it. 🥲
And the way that the light is passing through the windows at the very beginning is just amusing
That was BEYOND BEAUTIFUL!!!
This moment makes me cry everytime
This is a masterpiece it really embodies Stolas wanting to be with Blitzo and not knowing if he feels the same or if he’s the issues and even relating to Stella and how she must feel 10/10
BIT EQRLY DONT YOU THINK???
First and Hi:D
Yap
I LOVE YOUR VIDS!
dawg you haven’t even heard it
In a way, this was stolas' way of saying how he was going to help biltz. This literally mentioned the episode where stolas cut the contract with blitz and encouraged him to stay 2:49 "I'll grant you this mercy, this bind" ❤
Blitz curled up is killing my soul. This song, the words, the vocals, the music are beyond amazing.
Lyrics:
It is expected
An oath by blood to hold the tome
And the starlight passes overhead
Fuels all the skills I've honed
I am a guardian
A watcher of these ancient rites
Yet I find myself drawn from that path
On those dazzling moonlit nights
Let me hold you
Keep you close to me
I long to hear your voice
But dearest
I know better now I must give you this choice
I can give you everything you need
Or do you want to hear me plead?
Just look my way
Just look my way
Is there something more that I don't know
That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?
Just say
Please stay
Look my way
This unspoken contract
A deed we forged for mutual gain
If that's all this was when you're not here
What is this rooted pain?
I don't care that you're of lower station
Or primed to sate my dark temptations
Why can't you understand?
Let me explain
and I'm terrified
As I cry
To make these feelings true
What's left for me and my broken heart
If I cannot have you?
Unless it's me?
And no matter what in this world I could give
It's not enough
To get through the walls you've conjured up to live?
Is this what you feel
Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend what you are
So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind, on our souls needs to end
I will try to make amends
For making you means to an end
So, look my way
Please, look my way
And if there's something more that I don't know
I'll save us before we both grow cold
If you stay
And just say
Look my way
Thank you
Absolutely adore this ❤
Looking forward to a future cover for this song from you. 💜
Cover when
looking forward to your symphonic metal version!
@YukoHouseknechtbot
Please i need a cover
3:22 “I’ll save us both before we grow cold.” Really hits different after mastermind. Like stolas really did save blitz from the chopping block.
The team did an absolutely amazing job portraying Stolas's pain and heartbreak, and I really wish we can see this song an a future episode because IT'S JUST THAT GOOD.
I want that episode too! Though it’s going to shader my heart! 😢
This song sends chills down my spine just hearing how hurt stolas is and all the emotions he's going through.This really hypes you up for the next episode. A masterpiece
I loved the song when it was posted 2 years ago as a fan made song, but further loved it when it became official.
That version is still up thankfully, and shows a different timeline.
Where he chooses to fix things with stella, though the song was made before we learned of how she abused him prior to the cheating so she seemed more like the victim initially.
This is absolutely a gift for the viewers of helluva. The animation and everything is amazing and I adore how Bryce delivered stolas’ character throughout this. It’s truest wonderful so thank you Vivziepop and everyone who helped animate this for the amazing visuals and Bryce for the amazingly delivered vocals!!
So who’s here after the new episode 🙌
Mee
Me!
Me
me 😭
Guiltyyyy
WHY IS BRYCE SO PHENOMENAL AT SINGING!?!?
I would listen to an entire album sung by this man. Such a beautiful voice and the music video is **chefs kiss**
Amazing animation!
Right? It’s what he does best! He brings so much raw emotion that feels so authentic every single time he sings as Stolas!
Like you said, Bryce Pinkham solo album when?
I have good news for you about a gentleman’s guide to love and murder then ;3
@@sir-dame-sander I love that cast album! That’s one of my top 10 favorite musicals! Though that may be because of Bryce. LOL. And the Tony Awards performance for that show is fantastic! It may have won the Tony for Best Musical, but Bryce was SO robbed of the Best Leading Actor Tony! But that’s just my opinion though.
One thing I love about the Spindlehorse team is that they see fanmade content and recognize how well-made and fitting it is to the story and find a way to make it canon, 100/10
Also especially this song was written and produced by ParanoidDJ who has been making fan songs for the hella-verse for YEARS! This is truly amazing!
@FrutosFarrell part two?
It’s a bot@@randomhalofan-qo9hj
were is that fan content in this video ?? we must have watched 2 different videos
@@winxclub998wizardmasterThe song was originally made by Paranoid Dj, a fan which makes it fanmade!
The way his voice breaks at 2:03 sent literal shivers up my spine. The pure desperation and frustration in it is just amazing
Same!!! 😭
Watching this after mastermind…..
I'm here after "Mastermind" episode 🤧🖤
Real
sameee
It hurts watching after knowing what happens
Blitzø after . mastermind . he finally looked his way
To think Stolas originally was just some horny owl and turned into such a beautiful and complex character amazes me to no end. This is a truly powerful song and it’s sung and animated perfectly to suit the character as a whole. Thank you for this masterpiece!!!
You can't forget, though, that he's had an interest in Blitz since they were both young. horny or not, there was definitely an attraction on his side. But he's definitely grown since when we first met him. I feel as though he was acting desperate(?) cause that's what he believed Blitz liked or hoped that would keep Blitz around more.
Nevertheless, I love his growth ❤😢
Sometimes.. People put on masks and Stolas' mask was being a horny owl. He craved love and affection for so long. He feels guilty but thats the only way he thought could receive it. Blitz blames him but Blitz objectified himself and their interactions then dumped the blame on Stolas alone. Blitz stole from him and dumped him twice. Stolas tried to adjust to him and got blamed and burned in turn.
Just beautiful, simply beautiful. Stolas pouring his heart out. Letting his feelings out of his love for Blitz. Stolas really changed and wants to have a serious relationship with Blitz
I completely understand what you’re saying. At first, Stolas just seemed like comedy to me, but now, he’s such a developed and incredible character, arguably even more so than some of the most main characters.
I like how he says "i dont care if your a lower stations" shows how much he cares for blitzo, which i cant help but see these two finally be together. This pains my heart seeing stolas doing anything just to be noticed, god this is making me tear up so much. GOOD ON YA VIVI AND YOUR CREW!!
OML FR!
THAT LINE SENT SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE!
The sad part is that solas deserves better than blitz. Blitz, while a fun character has never been invested in stolas. He's got issues he needs to work through before he can be truly selfless. Stolas is was just desperate, but at least he's acknowledging the unfairness of this.
@@Nstone53exactly
@@Nstone53 Not quite. Blitzo is kind of a "broken character". Good and lovable on the inside, but scarred (and scered!) on the inside. Blitzo cries to not be alone, but has toxic way of understanding relationships. What IMO jest wonderful in HelluvaBoss is that Stolas can see thouh that outside and fight for someone he loves. Plus Bitzo is afraid of Stolas social position (seen in that bad trp on thuth serum).
Stolas deserves someone better.
*”YES! YES! CANTALO BABY!”*
Someone *please* give this poor demon a hug please I beg of you

Why do you think I have the plush of him already preordered?
I wish
I wish I could, honestly he’s so caring, but heartbroken 😔
@@R0S3S-fr4xthonestly moxxie as well because it backstory is just the saddest
Holy crap, Bryce’s vocals portraying every emotion Stolas is feeling. Absolute chills.

why did i read that as Beyonce
@@SizzlingSockslol
You know shit is real when Stolas' white pupils are visible. The raw emotion from this song was enough to bring tears to my eyes, and the story it tells with Stolas' love for the moon (Blitzø) growing more and more, but as it grows, it becomes harder to control and further out of his reach. Well done to everyone who was a part of this ❤

I am crying so bad... I think that, in a personal level, I bet many of us can relate to either Blitz or Stolas (or both like me) in this agony of loving someone so much and unconditionally but also being so fkng afraid of love and hurthing the ones you love... thinking you're disgrace or that you're not worth of receiving love just because they like your soul... It's agonizing. This made me cry because I understand, I can relate... Can't wait for the following 3 new episodes this year🤧❤💙
Heartbreakingly beautiful. From Paranoid DJ's lyrics, to Bryces voice, to the animation, the symbolism and incredible meanings.
PARANOID DJ WROTE THIS SONG????? OH MY GODDDDDD I DIDNT PAY ATTENTION TO THE CREDITS THATS AMAZING
Stolas' voice and the animation make this video magical ☄️✨
This was beautifully animated. Huge credits to Paranoid DJ for creating this beautiful song, and Bryce just proves again that he has an extraordinary voice.
It’s finally completed: ruclips.net/video/j2hOdE14CxY/видео.htmlsi=zvKhYkcEbCrZmxPW
trying to fill the replies with more than bots haha, but absolutely! I actually started crying when I saw this. I've been following Paranoid DJ ever since Use Me Up blew up, and I highly recommend ALL of his stuff (not just helluva boss!), he's an extremely talented voice actor and musician.
When Stolas flew toward the moon/Blitzø at 3:02, literal chills were sent down my spine. With the beautiful animation, amazing performance by Bryce, and powerful lyrics written, I’m not surprised the goosebumps are still lingering even after finishing the song

I know, and when he fell back, you could feel it in your chest as if you were on rides at a fair all day and are now trying to relax at home, only to still feel the falling. Now that is animation well-done.
@@isabelcox-croteau444how did you perfectly describe what I felt
@@humanrainestorm5506I do love stolas song lyric
Knew I wasn't the only one : ) @@humanrainestorm5506
That actually made me cry. Poor Stolas, so powerful yet so alone and yearning for something that he thinks cannot be. I wish I could give him a hug 😢
Literally speechless. This was beyond beautiful, the animation, the song and Bryce was just absolutely amazing and I was stunned by how good this was. Bryce has an amazing voice and I swear he's trying to make me cry everytime he sings as Stolas he is that good.
We need animation like this in movie theaters again. This is one of the examples of 2D animation showing just how far the limits can go.
For real! I'll never forgive animation studios for ditching 2D. 3D can be great but you really miss out on the feeling that truly amazing 2D can give a person.
@@ZeakaXorrFitchusyou Can’t be more right ✊👍
Bruh.... FR!! Especially, Disney and DreamWorks
@@naytube2.068 Yeah
Although I Blame Disney more than DreamWorks
I mean DreamWorks Couldn’t do 2D as good enough as 3D so They let it go and that’s reasonable
But Disney Could Still do, Do More , Do better, but they Didn’t
And Look what they’ve got cuz of It
I'm just absolutely happy that the animations seem to be hand drawn.
Hearing this originally fanmade masterpiece performed with the Amazing nature of Bryce's wide yet precise vocal range is truly stunning. The animations are gorgeous as always and strengthen the effect of the vocal performance even more! Definitely one of the best pieces of media published in 2023.
it was originally fanmade? thats so cool!
@@aspidistra3210Paranoid DJ made it originally
@@aspidistra3210he's credited at the end of the video :) he made it 2 years ago, around the end of season one, you can still listen to the original version on his channel, he's done many other Helluva/ hazbin songs
And now it’s canon what a big accomplishment on his part
@@MonsterMama16it's not the first time Paranoid's stuff became cannon
"Liquid Gold" for Lackadaisy also became cannon
The inflections in his voice are so moving. The voice actor did an amazing job; he really embodies the character.
Funny enough, Stolas's character was supposed to be completely different. Almost as if they were two different guys (different voice actors, too).
@@annafowdyyeah, he was in the Hazbin hotel pilot as a overlord but changed, then in the helluva boss pilot you could see him being more of a villain with a lower and deeper voice
I really like the metaphor of the moon and how big it is compared to Stolas throughout the video. It mirrors the power dynamics between Stolas and Blitzø, at the start with Stolas holding all the power, then Stolas putting himself at Blitzø’s level when he finally tries to look deeper and see what Blitzø needs and his walls. Then the moon grows larger than Stolas as he intends to give Blitzø the crystal so he doesn’t have to depend on him anymore.
And now the power in the relationship shifted towards Blitzø. It’s up to him now wether the relationship continues or not
my god i love this analysis. i didn't even notice that but rewatching through that lense... it's such a gorgeous (and painful) visual metaphor

Imagine an animator from the 1920’s watching this and seeing how far art has come. Bryce knocked it out of the park again. The animation is amazingly smooth, and the visuals are stunning. I hope that the fan who wrote the song is having the best time ever, knowing that their beautiful song inspired this.
That's a brilliant thought. They'd be able to see the distant descendant of their work in Stolas' motion, able to perceive they laid the bottom of this mighty pyramid we have built.
To go from Betty Boop to art as rich.
He wouldn't stop shouting homophobic slurs XD
tbh w/o context they wouldn’t be able to tell that it was about a gay relationship
I literally died with the neon lines and the water splash.
Who’s here after watching the mastermind episode 💙
Blitz indeed looked his way now 🥹
Wow, I am in utter shock! The animation, the music, the vocals, I can feel Stolas’ pain! I love them so much and I can’t wait for the next episode! Bravo, Vivziepop and Spindlehorse, you outdid yourselves with this!
The little whimper, when he sung "I'm terrified" at 2:06 is absolutely stunning singing skills and voice acting. This man is so amazing

@@Eonblaster946 assuming you've seen the full show, it's a reference to s1 ep7 "Ozzie's" where stolas says this line in response to a character in a tv show he was watching. the exact timestamp for this is around 3:38.
I almost cried, stolas understands blitz has his walls up but he still doesn't his best to show blitz his love, I can't wait to see this relationship develop. Simply amazing! Bravo to the creators, actors, and musical talents 💚 thank you for such a wonderful show.
