okay it's 12:40 am but i'm going to say my one last opinion about stolitz in this episode before going to sleep.
Stolas wasn't embarassed of Blitzo
Holy. Fucking. Shit. I thought that was obvious but apparently not.
That's what Blitzo thought obviously as we can tell from the whole flinch, horrified look on his face
but that doesn't mean it's what happened. I thought it had already been established that Blitzo is an incredibly unreliable narrator. Yes, Blitzo was being pushed through the rough by Verossika and Asmodeus and needed Stolas to defend him.
Stolas was being laughed at, humiliated in public, and he couldn't defend himself because no matter what he said he couldn't prove Asmodeus wrong. He looks around to see everyone in the entire audience laughing at him.
He had given up his wife and kid for an imp who wasn't even happy to be around him, who had ignored him throughout this entire debacle. Just like Blitzo needed Stolas to defend him, Stolas needed Blitzo to reassure him.
and neither did that okay?
Stolas chose to hide rather than face what appeared to be an incredibly humiliating situation (not because of blitzo, but because they had exposed his family issues to the entire fucking crowd. lol), and Blitzo? Blitzo was hurt, he was angry, he was terrified and insecure. But he chose to keep that in. He didn't communicate his feelings or wants or needs to Stolas and unfortunately, reading minds appears to be out of the arsenal of eldritch horrors.
Both fucked up here. Both had their insecurities thrown in their faces. Both didn't take the last line to reach out to each other.
And if Stolas chose to deal with that by attempting to bridge the gap between him and Blitzo? If he chose to seek out some non-sexual affection after it being strongly implied he fucks up his relationships? Can't fucking blame him.
And if Blitzo chose to deal with it by closing off? If he chose to hide from a relationship he felt was close to ending anyways? If he chose to close himself off from Stolas before he was abandoned yet again? Can't fucking blame him either.
