I have a theory on Blitz.
*Warning. I rambled profusely during this train of thought because this is a copy paste of my theory I spewed forth at @siascrawls earlier tonight. The most editing I did was fix typos and made one or two sentences make more sense*
okay. So I've rewatched ep7 like 14 times (no exaggeration needed), and I've been pausing on the photos in the background and really thinking about the episode as a whole season and not just as the episode.... and it dawned on me. The episode revolved around Moxxie and Millie, not Blitz. He was spying on them, yes. but Asmodeus FIRST was going after Moxxie and Millie for how lovey-dovey they are.
Blitz has established he is OBSESSED with M&M, and he keeps screwing up his own relationships.......... but. what if. it's not because he messed up the relationships by being a dick (that was just how he forced the relationship to end officially).
What if, he's fascinated with M&M because not only does he want that same level of love; but it's because he's felt that, asked for it, and his PARTNERS never wanted to be THAT COMMITED with him
so he’s basically studying M&M in order to learn how to make it work
but with Stolas he’s starting to feel like he wants that, he really does. stolas was the first picture on his phone. So what if the whole special arrangement they have deal-thing has just messed with his head and he did what he does best: he broke it off before they could realize the level of freak he is
that's what Verosika called him (in ep. 7). a freak.
what if he did open up to her about wanting to be monogamous and she was like "what the hell? WHY? NO!" and it broke his heart. so he screwed her over in his own way by doing something selfish to end it..... thus the maxed out credit card (and getting horse riding lessons because~)
his mom......... seems logical she worked at the circus. AND what if she was a horse stunt lady-imp and thus his fascination with horses? because he feels closer to her by being near them?
Blitz feels like a freak for wanting to be in love and having one person he can truly be himself with and cry with and laugh with..... (maybe something he had with his mom and Barbie Wire and his mom made him feel normal for wanting that growing up so naturally in childish innocence he expects whichever partner he finds himself with to want the same, but they don’t... and it hurts because why wouldn’t they want to be with him?) but because he's been called a freak for wanting it.... suddenly the "this is hell moxxie no one cares" feels like he's been told that one too many times.
M&M are unique because they are the OPPOSITE of what we the audience expect in hell. but they own it and don't care what other demons or imps think.
and Blitz envies them for having found each other so easily when he's tried so hard with so many others.
Every single person I talk to about M&M, or when I listen to reaction videos, they ALWAYS say how “pure and beautiful M&M's relationship is and how are they in hell? They are soooo cute! it makes no sense.......” what if that was the foreshadowing?
Blitz invades their space because he wants to learn how to have that himself... but he's so jaded now he can't open up even when stolas is right there reaching out to him --- literally.
Yes, I agree, Millie's mom and dad seem like they get along just fine. And maybe the idea of marriage isn't what turns the imps and demons off. it's the monogamy. it's the idea that they truly are so devoted to one person that even a roll in the hay with another isn't an option.
not because they don't have offers, but because they don't WANT to. their partner is enough for them and they dont' want anyone else. and that is a concept most in hell can’t fathom.... because again, with Stella, it wasn’t’ the infidelity that she was pissed about. it was that Stolas slept with an imp... thus, status. she didn’t give a rat’s behind about him screwing someone else.
and looking through the pictures, Fizza-Rolli and Blitz look like they could have been possible childhood sweethearts (that Mamon concert picture, the way Fizz is leaning on him, hanging off his shoulder, just feels too much they are together-together and not just best friends at a concert). but now Fizz works with Asmodeus, the demon ruler of lust. and that song implied that fizz prescribes to the no lovely-dovey belief system. aka. he believes in lust, not trust.
Verosika is a succubus. pure lust and indulgence.
even taking into account Striker in a vague sort of way of seeing whom Blitz initially finds attractive.... he's super greedy, self-centered, and lacks any empathy toward another even one he's willing to work with.
Blitz just picks the wrong people. but then here comes Stolas.
this demon Lord struts into his life, a demon who is just finding his true self for the first time, who is basically throwing himself in headfirst into everything sexual and freeing and secret-heart-desires for the first time; and yet, he’s super clingy, he’s doting, attentive (even if he’s oblivious and a bit thick concerning other’s emotions). Stolas is something Blitz tries to lie to himself that he hates, but ultimately, he's taking sneaky selfies of the two of them in bed together just to have a picture of them together......
yet, looming over his head from beginning, Blitz is trying not to admit maybe he does like the bird. This is an arrangement they made simply so Stolas can get his cloaca pounded once a month. and it just sits wrong with blitz because.... once feelings start to infest and then solidify..... i mean, Stolas CAME TO RESCUE HIM. He broke probably a million demon laws to save him.... and the first thing he asks after he scares the crap out of the humans is... 'are you alright?'
thats essentially all Blitz has ever wanted. is just someone to be there who has his back. Like say.... something his mother and sister used to be for him.
Stolas proved to him he has his back and that’s why ep 6 ended with Blitz initiating because he felt for 7 minutes in heaven there, that Stolas understood him and wanted him and came to rescue him because he means something to Stolas...... at least.... until the lights go out and then Blitz can over-think everything and second guess his emotions.
having his life dragged through the mud by Asmodeus and Fizz, he is reminded WHY he only sees the bad in relationships towards himself, and be mocked, the abandonment.... and he just automatically assumes Stolas will do the same once he finds someone else better. because Blitz is an imp and sooooo far beneath Stolas. he's not worth it. ..... (Blitz blacked out his own face in all his photos. he hates himself so much, and that might stem back to his mother and sister and whatever it was that destroyed his first family that made him feel worth-while. he screwed something up so bad that he doesn’t feel like he’s worth anything event though he works so hard to BE something of worth).
so in ep. 7 he breaks everything off before Stolas can realize how much of a freak he is for even entertaining the idea they could be more together..... (soemthing he’s still lying to the public about in an attempt to protect himself emotionally) and he screws up their evening by telling stolas off because now he can put that wall up once more seconds after Stolas offered an olive branch to get to know him.
Blitz wants what M&M have. but what he can't figure out is how he can get it for himself without getting hurt -again-.
